Points,
1. I said "IF" Burks is a washout....I would sure love to see him get more PT than 44. He is supposed a high football IQ and should understand things by now.
2. None of you mention safety as a priority. This after losing our "All-Pro" mid-season....telling.

SSchind,
NP, I should have been more precise in my language. I don't know if he is a washout or not, but
- 44 is really not cutting it
- From everything we were told, Burks has a very high football IQ
- He should know the defense by now, so frigging play em and lets see. (unless he is hurt and I am unaware)

I was surmising that if he is NOT playing, then given points 1&2 above, then THEY seem to think he is a washout.

Incidentally, Tankathon has the Packers taking Deionte Thompson , safety out of Alabama, in the first round. With 104 tackles (63 solo), 4.5 tackles for loss, three interceptions, six passes defensed, and three fumbles forced (one recovered), Thompson is the top-rated safety in the 2019 class. At 6'2'' and 196 lbs, he strikes me as a little on the skinny side, but at least he'd have a chance of matching up against some of the taller receivers in the league. If this highlight reel is any indication, he doesn't shy away from contact, and he likes to go low and wrap up, traits that have been sorely lacking in our defensive backfield of late. Most importantly, he doesn't lead with his head or settle for throwing himself at the feet of ball carriers and hoping he manages to trip them up.

Go low and wrap up? You mean he doesn't just fling his body at someone and hope he knocks them over? Lets draft him and hire his coach.

I would be more enthusiastic about his coach. I would never draft a safety in the top 2 rounds.

If it were my task to build a football team at any level, Day 1 I build the best Offensive and Defensive Lines that I can. Running, passing, rushing the Passer, and stopping opposing run attacks all begin and end with the BEEF.

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : More interesting is Washington with Terry McLaurin

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I would imagine Dallas will resolve this issue with a truckload of money

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : Micah pulling a Myles with trade request

Mucky Tundra (30-Jul) : Zero, regarding Ewers, you are correct.

beast (30-Jul) : RIP site 😭

Zero2Cool (30-Jul) : Site will die, I have to restart it.

Zero2Cool (30-Jul) : Quinn stinks. Lot of underthrows. (my guess)
