Measurables and 40 times are great. But people on here were quick to dismiss 13 Burgess when he left us, and he stood out on Monday night. Every time Burgess got one on one with Duke in the flats he made the tackle, solo tackle if I may add. He is a heat seeking missile.
BTW anyone watch the Hawks-Pack game? I wish we had a play caller like the Seahawks have. Quick plays, misdirection, and smart run plays.
I also watched the Packers 3-4, I'm just underwhelmed by the 3-4. 4-3 is where its at. Yes the pack kept the OLB inside and rushed every time instead of covering wideouts which is helpful to the RUSH. But the run defense is very suspect. The OLB being so far on the edge is like putting them where the OLINE would be taking them anyway. It requires 3 monster DLINEMEN and a secondary who is vicious and sure tacklers like Seattle's to run a dominant 3-4.
We desperately need to go back to the 4-3 and put 4 big boys in front of Backers to allow them to move freely and make tackles. South FL linebackers will always be a little undersized but superior athletes ala Perryman. Allow them to roam and blow up runs with the big boys clogging the middle creating lanes for backers to become missiles.
