Forget about Burton for a minute on this film and watch Amarius Mims’ first step. That’s unbelievable.

Before giving up on Yoshi, remember that Houshmandzadeh’s first THREE seasons were quite subpar. I remember we didn’t understand why he wasn’t cut.

So we should just wait 4 years for every day 3 pick to develop into a serviceable player? Those early 00’s teams could be patient with a guy like TJ because they had absolutely no expectations at that point. That changed when they got Palmer.

Why would JB do that?  He didnt sub himself in the game.

Jones has a YPR for KRs at 40.0, the best in the league with players who have 5+ KRs.
Jones is only 15th in PR average though at 7.1.
Return Specialist is about all he's been good for in his 1.5 seasons.
"Complete bum" though is a little overboard though. He does have value on ST.

Yeah sure. Is a 3rd round pick on a kickoff returner good value?

He was a 4th rounder. Which is still a little rich for a ST only player.

And I wouldn’t even consider him good. He’s serviceable. But he’s not a game changer

what I miss? Why do we think Burton doesn't know the plays?

[QueenCity]

Considering our play calling is vanilla - I'm very concerned if Burton doesn't know the plays.

Do you really think the coach goes up to each player and says "get in there"?

Another wasted pick on an older player to begin with.

He literally changed a game one week ago. 

Dude was a late 4th rounder and has had a return TD both his years in the NFL
