Bengals will give him through (part of) next year to try to turn his attitude around (and better learn plays assuming that's true?), but he's diggin himself a hole right now that's going to be hard to get out of.

IMO it would be wise of Burton to reach out to Burrow to see if he could get some time with him during the Bye week to run some extra routes outside of normal practices and build that chemistry with him.

Well I feel like Burton is in the doghouse for a different reason than Ross. Ross just wasn't very good. Burton looks like he can be legit, but he's just lazy/stupid. If what the rumors are true about him sleeping in meetings, not showing up/showing up late to walkthroughs, and whatever else this knucklehead is doing is way worse than Ross. Burton needs to double down on the mental work instead he's skipping it. It sucks, because I thought that Burton could have been a beast.
