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.

Quote:"No missed assignments," said wide receivers coach Troy Walters after Wednesday's practice. "No mental errors."

It’s my job, it’s coach’s job, and his job as well to continue to find roles for him, find opportunities where we can get him the ball and continue to see what he can do, because I think he’s got explosiveness, and he’s got the ability that we need to harness and find a role for.”

Oh well.
