Worried About Burrow

Hopkins has been the weakest link, and he is too good to replace just because he is recovering from an injury.

Both of you are spot on. One thing we need to stop doing is letting the Defenses top Ends match up against our TE's.

Sample is a good blocker but that is a mismatch with any TE pretty much. Have Sample and Uzo chip on the team's best 
Ends and go out into the flat more for TE screens and such. This will help.
