Vontaze Burfict


Keep Pounding

Recommended Posts

For every sack with a loss of 10 yards this guy gets, he will also get a 15 yarder for unnecessary roughness. He is insane and not in a good, Ray Lewis kind of way. He is insane in a bad, crazy woman kind of way. He lacks discipline (which for a linebacker is extremely important). Because of this lack of discipline he is easily fooled, bites on fakes, and generally plays with a lack of overall focus.

i would be interested in him if we do trade down... it would be him or dre kirk for me if we move down then if they were gone decastro. can he play OLB? if not then i wouldnt be willing to pick him since beason has to stay at MLB, but i like the intensity he brings, he just needs to harness it some, i think with beason and rivera can contain him.

I have mixed feelings 50/50. The dude can play the run, hits hard, and has the toughness that I feel we were lacking last year. But then again, the personal fouls and the undisciplined play hurts his stock. I just remember when JR asked Cam what he thought about Suh, and Cam was like "we need more guys like that on our team" makes we wonder if JR was watching some ASU games this year. LOL

As a student at ASU, I can tell you that he's widely known as a headcase. I want no part of that.

Warren Sapp was a headcase, Suh is a headcase, Ronnie Lott was a headcase, Lawerence Taylor was a headcase, Mike Singletary was a headcase, the Iron Curtain was a team of headcases, James Harrison is a headcase, and many more DEF players our headcases, maybe we need a few headcases to improve our DEF.

those players you listed have a lot more talent than burfict has. the growing consensus in him is that he just isn't as good as advertised. it's more than him being a headcase. he's been called a fake tough guy. he's being seen as lazy on and off the field, having poor vision, and a total lack of discipline.

he's just not as good as you think.

I know maybe a bad comparison to the HOF talents that I mentioned, but I'm not sold on him either, I'm like 50/50, I just wanted to know if he was available in the second round, would he be a pick to gamble on.

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
