Our division is one of defense and one that used to be a ground-and-pound division, but, if you look at the last few years, Baltimore and Cleveland have been near the bottom of the league in rushing attempts and Pittsburgh has been middle-of-the pack or slightly below (but leave it to Marvin to not adapt and keep us in the top ten, even with all of our weapons).
Burfict being in better shape is flat-out scary! He'll be able to get to the quarterback better on blitzes and be better in pass coverage. I wouldn't be surprised to see 5 picks and 5 sacks!
Can't wait to see Burfict on defense looking like a lion ready to pounce!
Burfict is a really good blitzer, i could definately see 5 sacks and 5 picks this year for him.
Probably cause a few fumbles as well.
This is actually relatively conservative with the dude in the best shape of his life and in his prime.
Which is why i would pay the man now before he really takes over the league.
