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

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

 

He was at 5-tech more than anything in even fronts and got 7 sacks.  Let's soberly look at his 2019. 

We weren't really a 3-4 last year. Ron's wordplay confused many when we honestly played nickel more than anything and kept a hybrid 2010s Seahawks hybrid D approach but without a KJ Wright or Kam. 

There's this big myth about Burns not being a 4-3 DE when he just did that 75% of his snaps.

Thanks for this info. Admittedly I didn't keep an eye on Burns a bunch out side of boxscore watching and, also, our defense last season just. Pained me to watch.

He was attacking leftside lines in the Cards, Jags, and Saints games to insanely good effect.  He refined his spin move if you compare it to college and gained a lean 7 lbs. 

I just really get peeved with this whole  "He's a 3-4 EDGE!" content because he has already proved he can go HID.  This ain't against you Rags though, you're a cool dude.  Cheers.

But Luke is coming back in 2021.

And traded for a 4th rounder like Gronk

Show it on the field. I don’t want to hear about it. Burns, Shaq, Donte, and Miller all need to step up big this season. We need men, not boys. There are enough boys on there forum already. Cut Short’s ass as quick as possible when we are able to do so.

Yeah, he was fine on passing downs, but was pushed around a bit and ran at.  KK coming back and adding bulk could help that tho.

[Jon Snow]

Wishful thinking.

Yeah but with Tampa

[stirs]

OR, he could be offloaded for a 2nd round pick Friday night

[Waldo]

Burns needs to focus on whatever his new role will be. Once he is thriving then we can all cheer his leadership on. Until then it's putting the cart before the horse.

[Mr. Scot]

I'm not convinced Burns is gonna be durable enough for that kind of role.
