On top of that though, I feel like he really wasn't that good for us last year. I wanted to know why everyone is so excited, just in case I misread his performance last year.

Does he fit well with Austin's style of play? Is he actually still a dominant player, or are we clinging on to the past a bit?

Would love some insights from others who probably know better than I do.

Just know that there are 31 other teams who would find a place for him on their roster.

Burfict will make the entire defense better by being with the team. He understands what offenses are trying to do. He also plays faster than many faster LBers because he knows where the ball is going and gets there.

Conditioning is a concern. I really don't know how many more years he's going to play given his injury history.
