Not sure how you measure long snappers, but interesting to see him cut twice now. Heard Sieg isn’t a reliable special teams on punt return. Could be the reason he’s getting cut twice in the offseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he moved from Safety just a few years ago, so the coaches probably hope he can still develop into a actual LB and learn to take on blockers and all that gritty. I'm one that believes that physical mentality is something you either have or don't, I can't remember it being developed in any player recently? Burney may or may not pan out, but he definitely has the edge athleticism-wise. Thomas was fun to pull for, but he's probably destined to be a fun preseason Cinderella story. It would've been nice to PS him and have him in case of emergency, but he's just not going to carve out a steady role either way. Small LBs aren't going to hold up anymore as OL and RBs keep getting bigger and stronger. That said, I'd like Burney to put on some size. With TEs becoming more and more trendy and RBs bulking up, I think the days of the extra big SS types playing LB are going to start waning soon. Coverage and speed have been the trend over the last few years, but I think it's gonna start heading in another direction over the next couple of years. Too many big freak TEs and RBs for 6'1 220-225 lb type LBs to effectively counter. In a twist, I think smaller, quicker Edge rushers and IDL are going to trend upwards too. It's fun watching positions evolve, no doubt. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fun watching positions evolve, no doubt. Drake is a better player right now, but Burney is better prospect. He’s raw, but he has good size and flashed range. He should help on special teams with a ceiling to be more. Drake looked good against the backups but ceiling seems limited. He might surprised and emerge into a starter, but it’s hard to project if playing against backups would carry over against more talented players. I prolly would have kept Drake, but I understand the logic and wanting to develop Burney. I also would have kept both and cut Bolton. Bolton offers nothing as a Lb but good special Teamer, but Drake played good on special teams. He could have took his role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to watch that goal line pick 3x before it made sense to me…. Like how did he do that? And oh yeah he’s playing offense and going over 10/100. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
