Burfict at SAM Linebacker

[*Synric*]

I figured there were enough Marvin and Referee threads in here lol.

This is another game where Burfict looked great at the SAM linebacker spot. Playing closer to the Line of Scrimmage allows Burfict to get into the backfield quickly and make plays. He was also putting pressure on the QB during play action something that has been sorely missed most of the season.

Is it possible no matter how well Burfict has looked at the WILL spot was he playing out of position?

Also I would like to point out how well Kevin Minter has played for the Bengals. Im sure someone will say well he doesnt have many stats...what he does doesnt show up on the box score. He was missed when he was injured and now that hes back I expect the run defense to get back on track.
