If you don't want to click, here's the breakdown:

PYPG allowed w/o Burfict: 271.7
PYPG allowed w/ Burfict: 245.1
RYPG allowed w/o Burfict: 109.2
RYPG allowed w/ Burfict: 89.9

Points allowed: 18 w/o, 15.3 with Burfict.

So yeah, he's a significant piece of our Defense and whomever it was that said he was "maybe" the third best defensive player on our team is dead wrong. He is arguably the most valuable or 1A with Geno.

Yeah. I'm not taking anything away from Geno. He's obviously great... But when's the last time Vontaze Burfict played in a game and was unnoticeable? It never happens. It doesn't happen to Geno often, but it does happen.
