The Carolina Panthers have selected Brian Burns, defensive end from Florida state with the 16th pick in the 2019 NFL draft.

Strengths
  • Basketball athlete with silky hips and sudden feet
  • Upfield burst forces tackles out of pass slides and into gallops and sprints
  • Alters rush speeds with sudden bursts around or inside the pass set
  • Long third step propels him to clearance at the top of the arc
  • Tremendous lower-body flexion for 45-degree edge bend
  • Ability and quickness to shadow scramblers once he finds the pocket
  • Hits well-timed jump-cut counters back inside
  • Capable, smooth spin moves in either direction
  • Quick lateral slides help find the B-gap
  • Arm-over or upper-body turn to quickly bypass edge blocks
  • Fluidity to potentially drop and cover
  • Good speed to pursue as tackler
Weaknesses
  • Thin frame with spindly limbs
  • Frame might not be able to handle enough weight
  • Lacks functional play strength
  • Lacks necessary dog for consistent combat at point of attack
  • Gives away his position when setting edge
  • Allows length to go to waste, catching too many blocks with shoulders
  • Sticks to blocks once he loses his frame
  • Struggles to play through redirect blocks on inside moves
  • Will have issues converting speed to power at top of the rush
  • Needs more strength and force as hand fighter

Dude was a fugging MONSTER in a 3-4 and was on par with Von Miller.

Then when they changed schemes even when it didnt fot him he produced

Statistically and athletically he is on par with Miller was coming out

Don't believe me, look it up

Kid can play OLB in a 3-4. As Mcshay said can even play 4-3 OLB like Barr

      Happy Thanksgiving You Filthy Animals

      By rayzor · Posted

      Just had Thanksgiving meal with a couple dozen family and friends. I lucked out and got one of the smoked turkey legs. Stuffing, mashed taters and gravy, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, kale, smoked ham, chicken and rice, corn, lima beans, cranberry sauce, and great people. My brother got his guitar out and we got to singing. Lots of actual conversations with people I hardly  ever get to see, haven't seen in a while, or who I never met before. Just a great moment to remember.

      3-8 would be a higher win percentage than 3-9

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Same... With the personnel the Niners had, that defense could have been historically good in the right hands. Under Wilks they were certainly good, they didn't quite rise to that level. Honestly, I see Wilks kinda like I see Rivera: fantastic person, decent head coach. Skill wise, phenomenal DB coach, so-so DC. His greatest strength is his leadership. Hard to find many better in that department. In the Xs and Os / execution area though, not as good. Bottom Line: Wilks is the sort of coach that needs a staff that excels in those aspects of the game where he's weaker. But, like Rivera, I don't know that he scouts assistants very well. That as much as anything might be why he's not in the NFL now.
