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.
Burton has caught passes on the following routes:
Quick out
Slant
Post
Back shoulder
Double move
Go route
The guy is a solid route runner, I too think it is a playbook issue.
