Is the defense TOO multiple?

I'd be butthurt about not being able to read too. Grab some coffee, it's early.

No coffee and early Saturday morning and in the middle of discussing offensive line issues when that popped up. Totally missed the point. It happens.  Carry on.....

Watch out Jaycee Horn! Burns is taking your spot!

I don't know about that, but that kid had some quick hands on that INT.

Honestly no.

because once we get the defense down.  All that multiple will be a nightmare for a QB.  Even the best ones (Remember Aaron Rodgers comments last year)

I posted this in the thread about smitty,  didn't want to make my own thread

I don’t want to sound rude but come on dude. All great defenses do this on occasion. If you always a rushing your down lineman and have great coverage down field the flat will always be open. If you are aware that the opponent is over using their check down options sometimes you have to pop out with a DE or 3-4 OLB. This has been done for years, all the great DEs have done it and gotten interceptions or passes defended.

Read the rest of the thread or the bolded part of the original post.

Lol my bad, anytime I see David Newton I can’t read anymore. That’s why I didn’t wanna sound rude because you’ve been around a while. Can we petition ESPN to force this guy into early retirement and just get Smitty or a Panther great to cover us. Hell Geoff Schwartz would be perfect the more I think about it.

Wasn't even Newton. Just some ESPN writer. Read the article and it will make you even more upset. It's an article about the game in which we are barely featured.

Yes it is.

Real talk though, shows how much ESPN knows about our roster. The fuging write up about our game was 100% about Haskins. 

I watched the Steelers stream for a little bit - they had  no clue who Burns was. Or anyone on our roster really. 

The disrespect was real. They were blatantly reading nameplates on jerseys.

I think that probably tells the story of that Brian Burns for defensive MVP bet.........

Whelp. Gotta build that rep. It starts in 15 days.

Seems like a waste of an MVP caliber DE to have him playing CB, although he did snag an INT.......

In all seriousness though. Yes. I don’t think we can carry him at CB. Too much competition, he doesn’t seem to have the proper physique and skill set to play CB.

Sounds like he might be the odd man out on cut day.

Might as see if we can trade him for a 7th rounder.
