This type of continuing play tells me a couple of things:  

1.) Marvin, for whatever reason, has been unable to teach him or get him to do otherwise.  And that's kind of part of the gig.  It's not the only part, and it may not even be the biggest part of the job.  But part of being a coach in this league is getting your players to respond to what you're saying and teaching.  Part of the job is having your players listen to you and execute your commands.

I won't embed it because it's a huge video file but to me it shows Burfict carefully places both feet down.  We can see that the first foot definitely isn't on Blount and the second one can't be on him with much (any?) pressure because Blount jumps right up without any of the difficulty you'd normally expect from trying to get up when a man is stood on your leg.

I'm giving Burfict the benefit of the doubt on this one but I'll keep looking for more angles that might definitively clear him.

EDIT: I need to get to work but I have definitive proof from the other coaches film angle that shows he isn't stood on anyone.

I said it before, I'll say It again.  Burfict just can't be trusted not to lose it in these big games.  It was the same thing at Arizona State.  He needs to go.

Do that to Tom Brady's face and leave a permanent scar, you're probably ejected and suspended.

If you want to talk about "crucial times", fire Mike Nugent. I can totally see us needing a field goal from 50 yards in the playoffs, and doink. What a way to lose.

We're 2-4 and you guys want to get rid of Burfict.

How about we try to once and hold our composure when this happens? Teams are locked into baiting certain players because they bite so many times. Stop doing this and you will stop having people try to rattle your cage.
