Brian Burns will be the leader of this defense for the next decade

I like shaq but burns has the potential to be Michael strahan good I see a breakout 12 sack season for burns. I see him and christian miller becoming monsters on the edge.

Cool

indeed

He showed a ton of promise early on and then Ronald decided he was far too valuable as a gunner on the punt coverage team to risk him playing on defense.

But Luke is coming back in 2021.

I agree we have a dog who has the size speed and intangibles to be everything we need in a DE. But will we put enough talent around him to let him flourish JJ Watt Or Von Miller All pro players get minimized when they become the focal point of the DLine. 12 sacks means nothing if we go 5-11 imo.

He’s under the radar right now but I’m hopeful that the defensive cupboard isn’t totally bare

[ForJimmy]

If we get Brown, look for Burns and Shaq to have great years. Brown and KK in the middle would free up Burns and keep blockers off Shaq.

[Rags]

Wanna see how he transitions and we use him in a 4-3. Not sure he's an every down hand in the dirt guy, but not sure how he does as an OLB in a 4-3

Miller-Thompson-Simmons-Burns would be a helluva 3-4 LB corps. Probably the most feared in the league.

We ranked 2nd in the league win sacks in 2016. We had 47 I believe. We were still horrible on defense.  Still can't believe we were that bad.
