About Burfict

[Whatever]

I'm not a big Burfict supporter. He's a dirty player and I personally don't think the Bengals will get an even break from the zebras in big games as long as he's in stripes. That said, when he's in football shape he's definitely Top 10 and arguably Top 5 as a non-rush LB. The defense as a whole also plays at a higher level when he's out there, whether it's his intensity or his instincts that elevates them. We've seen numerous times where the D has gone from pretty good to elite overnight when Burfict has come off suspension. That's why he's still here.
