If I recall correctly it was because he had a chronic hamstring issue.  He finally went out and researched the issue and resolved it through a power yoga routine that took him over an hour a day.  He tried to sell it to other players but they were not into that kind of time commitment.

Tee should be buying...

Put them on the out route and just let him run

What an uninformed comment.  You really think Burton checks himself into games?  He isnt even active every game.  

On top of that.... ZAC SAID THAT HE CALLED THE POSITION GROUPING IMMEDIATELY AND BURROW WASNT AWARE.  Maybe watch a press conference every now and then?

Joe Burrow says Jermaine Burton “warrants more playing time” going forward after what he has done over the past couple weeks at practice.

Let’s see if it actually happens.

I wonder if the coaches agree with Burrow's assessment.

I think you don't know to what extent I do or do not think about the coaches bowing to Burrow.

Asked if he has any regrets about the way he approached the first few months of the season, #Bengals rookie WR Jermaine Burton said:

"I can't put myself in the game. Personally, I feel like I could have been (making) plays."

Kid is his own worst enemy.

Yeah, this is...not what you want to hear.

if only burrow could get some of them to bow out

(10-28-2024, 12:52 PM)Wyche Wrote: Which is insane. Just let Burton run around back yard style until he's open at this point. It's still gonna be better than Yoshi/Irwin/Jones.

How can you even say Jones is bad at WR he has had very few targets most likely less targets than Burton this year as a WR.

(10-28-2024, 02:22 PM)Frank Booth Wrote: They intended for him to take the boyd role, or at least be a 600 yard guy

He doesn’t even see the field. Big whiff by duke and co.

Then again, you’re putting a lot on a 4th rounder by asking him to fill Boyd’s shoes

Or your coaches cannot use players to their strengths and fail to work them into the game plan. Which is a huge problem for Zac and this staff and continues to be.

All preseason Yoshi was playing outside, and Jones was playing in the slot then your head coach Zac switches it up the very last min before the start of the season.

That is on Zac and not the players.

Yoshi needs to buy a jugs machine and have his gf/friends feed the machine a lot. Like Gesicki and his wife does in the off season.

They have to develop someone to fill the WR2 spot, why not Burton? Thus far he's shown the most ability to be a dangerous, downfield threat.

Yep, he's going to destroy his career before it ever gets going with his immaturity.

I would say that things must be trending in the right direction for Burton and his development, since Joe Burrow is on record as saying that he feels that Burton merits more playing time.

The chances a Day 3 pick evolves into a quality starter are slim.  Hell, less than 50% of 4th round picks last through their rookie deals without being cut.  I mean, seriously, think about that.  But folks will still bank on 6th/7th round picks being starters in Year 2.  You're lucky if you can get a few years of cheap depth out of them.  Yeah, occasionally you'll hit on a TJ or Geno, but you can't EXPECT much.
