The only thing on tape for Burton right now is to not leave him 1 on 1 VS CB3/CB4’s. I guess you can put him on Tee’s side in 3WR sets and guaruntee that safety doesn’t cheat to Chase but I’d damn near put my CB2 on him whenever he enters the game even if Tee is out there too cause if i was a DC my only goal would be to not let Burton get a 1v1 VS a lesser corner
I made this point before and I will make it again since last nights game showed the same thing. If you watch Burton's TD last night, it was another outside down the sideline route. All of his big plays have been the same route. He isnt showing a diversity of route running. He has basically been a one trick pony. That may work in preseason against 3rd and 4th stringers but he has to show more than that in regular season. There is a reason Burton is down in the depth chart and Taylor is putting him in the games so late. If I had to guess I would think Burton isnt grasping the playbook and his routes like Taylor expects him to.
