Or maybe Burkhead does not get fired up and run hard in practice.

Personally I remember him getting carries in some preseason games.  He didn't look like anything special to me at the time.

But you said...

"His career average coming into last season was 2.9 yards per carry.  He had done nothing to earn any more carries."

I couldn't care less about Burkhead and think people have him way overrated. That said, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you're talking up Burkhead to make it seem like RB talent - not o-line - is the the problem while also avoiding putting any blame on coaches for not spotting this supposed talent.
