Burfict Actually Fined 3 Times For Sunday

We also have the added luxury of the best interior DT in the game....another reason we don't blitz as frequently. Burfict's main role in this defense is to make tackles in the middle of the field , call the defense , check alignment , and coverage. Maualuga is the gap stuffer.  Burfict is a little weak in coverage , but he does very well at the rest of it.

Your team runs a zone blitz out of the 3-4, your LBs should have more sacks than they do.

Burfict on the Steelers (or any 34 D) would be an inside linebacker. The ILB role on the Steelers is exactly what Burfict's role is on the Bengals. The Steelers have been blitzing more than previous years, but it's been a lot of stuff with the corners and safeties. Heyward, Harrison and Tuitt are the 3 sack leaders - in that order. Heyward and Tuitt have been dominatinate. We still don't blitz with our ILB's that much, which is why Timmon's and Shaziers numbers are actually quiate impressive. Burfict isn't unseating either of those 2 for a starting spot and wouldn't even be easy for him to unseat Spence as the first back-up.
