He ended up with a chip percentage of 25% and a dbt rate of 33-34% for the year. Carter was close and had similar rates but slightly lower based on what I saw for near the end of the season. 

Can you post that? I forget who even does that tracking.

This board does both good and bad job at overrating and underrating former players, burns is clear evidence of an underrated player whom most can’t fathom because they’re unable to get over the fact we could have got 2 1st for him( we understand, we all would have did that trade, but we can acknowledge they’d be worthless in the hands of Frtitter right?).

him, Dj Moore and CMC all traded away for nothing impactful, and the little pass rush we had was a large part because of burns, even with the whiffed sacks. Kinda of maddening how we have longer leashes for lesser players

Burns was atrocious against the run and excellent against the pass. He is a pure liability from a 3-down standpoint. 

That’s always been his problem, do you want to pay the best SPR in the league that much?

Giants had arguably the worst defense in the league this past year, his sack goals only tell so much of the story.

ESPN had him at 16% run stop win rate, 11th among edge players. 🤔

Yeah he was ranked relatively high among Edge rushers. Again, it comes back to being put in a better situation to succeed. Being a liability against the run didn't follow him once he changed uniforms. That's just another truth that Huddlers should acknowledge.

Burns was really fuging good at playing weak side against the run and chasing down guys from behind to the point you couldnt really run stretch plays away from him

wonder if that plays in to it. Wish we knew how ESPN does their stats but, ya know, /hand waves

I don’t know how ESPN is doing it but the NYG had one of the worst run defenses on record since they started measuring EPA. They allowed .190 EPA per rush and something like 150 rush yards per game. 

When I caught a few games it was obvious he was still a major problem for him. 

It was one of his most productive years no doubt, but he was part of arguably the worst defensive line in the league.

PFF had him at his lowest rush d mark in his career too.

While we didn't get the compensation we should have for Burns, it's delusional to act like he was a force when he played for us.  He had double digit sacks ONCE as a Panther.  Getting rid of him was the right decision.  Hell, in 2024 he put up another lackluster season for the Giants.  He's been a "great" player for one season.  2025.  That's it.

It might, he had 42 stops on the year. So that probably plays a part in it for sure.

That defensive line is fine, they don't have the players behind them at LB to be really really good against the run. 

 

Pff also have his stats wrong, they gave him less sacks, less pressures and less QB hits than any other service or what the NFL officially gave Burns.

      Falcons to hire Stefanski

      By TD alt · Posted

      Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't pay critical attention to anyone but the Panthers, but I will do research on occasion and keep abreast of the NFL in general. Certain things pique my interest, like why results are at odds with what some people are trying to sell. As for your question, It's not that they were literally out of position, but more about scheme fit and play calling. Baker didn't believe that Stefanski was supportive enough.  Hopefully this isn't behind a paywall for you. https://www.cleveland.com/browns/2022/01/browns-qb-baker-mayfield-must-resolve-his-differences-with-kevin-stefanski-soon-in-case-they-need-to-co-exist-next-season-mary-kay-cabot.html Now I'm sure that you already know about all the OBJ drama. Unfortunately paywalls are a thing, but here is a direct quote from NFL.com and Kevin Patra: "Stefanski's scheme also didn't play to OBJ's strength. The timing offense predicated on wideouts being at a specific spot and the QB reading the progression negated some of what made Beckham a star in New York." https://www.nfl.com/news/browns-planning-to-release-wr-odell-beckham In general, some fans---not all---think that Stefanski's offense minimizes receivers' production, pointing to several pairings, OBJ and Jarvis Landry most notably. And, to be honest, the dropoffs in production kinda speak to that.  Like you've said, him and Watson had tensions. Whatever you think of Watson as a person, his play regressed. He went from one of the best to one of the worst. Sure, it all could've just been mental or Karma, but more than a few thought that Watson's shotgun style would not work with Stefanskics zone-wide scheme, and it didn't. My thing is, that HCs shouldn't least be willing to do some  identifying of problems and strengths, and do at least a little compromising and adapting instead of being so indebted to their scheme that they continue to showcase failure as opposed to trying something different. I just might have higher expectations of what I call a good coach. Sure, all failed coaches have excuses, many that are legitimate, but for me you just can't be stubborn. Real coaching is about adapting for me. You must at least try to adapt to the situation, to your personnel, and to your opponent.  Perhaps Stefanski can do these things, but for me it's way too early to be giving him the label "good" or "great" based upon his body of work. In my mind, he's wasted some pretty good defenses due to lack of offensive creativity.

      They have about 30,000,000 which is middle of the pack and not a lot of flexibility to restructure more cap. They also have notable free agents to try to resign. -Kaden Elliss -Kyle Pitts -Elijah Wilkinson -Arnold Ebiketie -Leonard Floyd -David Onyemata -Dee Alford -Tyler Allgeier Oh and no first round pick. Bucs will implode next year, Falcons will be rebuilding. It will be us and the Saints fighting it out.
