He's definitely carrying some extra weight. At this rate, might as well put his hand in the dirt on 3rd down.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.

Burfict just isn't the same this year. Reminds me of his final College year. Out of shape, and no coach can control. We basically have nothing at LB out side of Vinny.

I think one of the biggest disappointments that no one has talked about this year has been our position coaches on defense. Especially Haslett. I had high hopes for him and EVERY linebacker on this defense has taken a step back. Burfict, Dansby, Maualuga, Rey (definitely in the running attack), even Dawson who had a great preseason last year and showed a ton of potential took a step back.
None of our LBs can shed blocks it seems. They get into a block and that's it. Sometimes do you see Burfict at least move the guy to where the run is going, but they all struggle to disengage anymore.

Yep, major mistake letting him go !

Spot on,
You can see the fire just isn't there, and that's with all the LBers. Whole defense really, they're playing flat and not on the same page on way to many plays. Major meltdown going on with D

I look at the Dallas gave to further prove that.
How many times did we see players get together and talk to each other and try to figure things out?
Numerous times.
How many times did we see Guenther talk to anyone?
Zero.
Heck, there was a tweet by Paul Dehner that while Burfict and Sims were talking and figuring out what was going on, he just monitored the situation.
These coaches have no fire. No passion. The offense seems too big for Zampese. Guenther has no defensive identity.
In fact, both Guenther and Zampese try to be EXACTLY like their predecessors. You can tell there's plays from Hue's playbook still implemented, and the same with Zimmer's. Neither guy has brought anything new, they're just trying to be like the guys before them, and they're not. We're just getting a copy of what once was and hoping it works out this time.

How can this guy come into this season out of shape, especially after how many chances Marvin and organization have given him?
It's honestly a slap in the face. It makes you wonder how serious he takes his profession.
I agree, he is out of shape. He's missing tackles too. That's too bad. Our whole team needs tackling lessons, what has happened to them? It's like the Bengals of the 90s, slip and slide tackling. First guy to the man should bring him down.
