I like Irwin a lot. He is someone that Burrow trusts to be in the right spot, know the checks and audibles, and is reliable to catch the passes that he should catch.
I think that pass in the end zone was the outlier.
I also think we are relying on him too much at this point. He doesn't have elite speed, size or strength. The power of having a guy like Irwin is that he allows you to rest your more impactful starting receivers without limiting your playbook.
I am hopeful that Burton will begin to take more snaps as the season goes on because he has game breaking speed and hands. We just need him to learn the playbook and all the checks so that his presence on the field does not limit Burrow's ability to shift the call from the field.
