He shows flashes. He's very physically gifted, and he plays hard. He does give effort. Let's hope for the best. He did get progressively better at Texas. We'll see.
Brown's a solid guy. He wanted to play at home. I think that's cool. I really hope he has a good year.
Overall, our LBs are always ???? Especially Burfict. Dude's an enigma.
With you 100%. I see Jefferson as Evans 2.0: A great athlete without the instincts. I hope I am wrong, but next to the 4th round (third string) RB in place of what could have been Shaq Griffin, I was most disappointed in this pick.
Brown was a great signing, but he is only on a one-year deal. Still very happy he is here.
Burfict made a play in the preseason last year against Washington where he closed on a ball, made the pick, kept his feet in bounds and sprinted (easily outran everyone) to the end zone for a 60 yard pick six. I remember as I watched the play thinking "who the hell was that?" I was sure it was a safety, or WJIII but none of our safeties make plays like that and WJIII was on the other side of the field. When I saw 55 as he jumped in to the stands (hilarious, albeit dangerous), I just sat there and watched it over and over again (Direct TV rewind is awesome). There might have been 3-4 LBs in the history of the game make that play. Then, as you eluded to, other times he looks like he was out on an all-night bender.
