Robert Burns

[The Rev]

I think Robert Burns came in a did a good job inspite of not getting many reps in the past games. I am happy for this young man. My son who is at Duke now played behind him at Gulliver Prep as a junior.

I think he's going to be a good short yardage guy only. Didn't really see the ability to be an all-purpose guy here but hopefully I'm wrong.

He did good considering the circumstances. If the team was engaged he would have done even better. He hit every hole with pure intentions to go the distance. He will only improve with more reps. I’m glad we have him.

Makes u wonder why these guys in the bench......Lingard should of been gotten reps just to see what he can do.

People dont understand how live reps benefit people, you can practice all you want but it is always different in the games.

I was wondering who is in charge of the RB rotation.

You need to have at least 3 getting the ball, so that you do not key on what one guys roll is. If you put Lo in, and all he is doing is blocking, everyone in the stadium will catch on. Way to predictable.

I think Lingard is starting for bowl game and we dont burn his red shirt. Win win for us if he sticks around

Burns for all intents and purposes is a 3 yards and a cloud of dust runner. He is a bruiser. His short comings are vision and agility.

I really like that he has stayed with the program. However is high ranking as a RB was mis=calculated.

He did do well but he was visibly tired to me as the game went on... I don't understand why he got all of the carries and they did not bring in Lingard. Manny needs to be asked about this directly.

 

[nycane]

He’s too slow to play rb here

 

[jamiecane]

He’s not elusive at all.

 

[SWFLSWAGG17]

He looked like he just closed his eyes and ran it up in there.

Sounds like my high school dating career....

Cause Cam got injured.

The great mystery of Lo Lingard.

Well that's to be expected when you don't get any game reps. The conditioning drops off dramatically once the season starts. You need game reps to be in "game shape." You see guys all over college football tired and cramping in game #1 of the season and that's after Fall camp in the blistering heat. So, it's expected for a guy to get tired when he hasn't had any meaningful reps all year.

Burns is a talented but his pass blocking was atrocious Saturday

I agree, which makes it even more mind-boggling that Lingard was not given carries in relief of Burns.

We don't know why. A good question for the media to ask Diaz.

The curious case of Lingard. Maybe one day we'll truly know what the **** was going on with him behind the scenes. Burns did pretty well considering he's a number 3 back. Big kid, north south runner but he doesn't seem to accelerate too much and he was terrible in blocking on obvious passing downs.
