Burfict & Atkins Highlights

Notice how Burfict has a way of getting guys on the ground ??

That dude has some strength to him for sure.

What I do find amusing is how draft guys are say things like, "I wonder which UDFA is going to be the next Burfict?"

Burfict was once thought to be a first round talent. How many UDFA's fit that mold ??

If so, they are head cases and needs to land in the perfect spot to have success at this level.

Burfict was that perfect fit in Zimmer's defense and it might not have even happened with Howard going down.

Nice vid :) great to see burfict do so well last year, hope he continues to get better and better. Now, if we can find a couple more LBs that can tackle like him, and maybe one that can cover a TE we'll be laughing ;)

The thing I like most about the Atkins video is that it also highlights his ability to play the run. He's the complete package. And I agree, Army: back up the Brinks truck to his house, start shoveling money through the door and don't quit until he says stop.

And no doubt Will, Burfict seems to have way better instincts. That said, the knock on Rey coming out of college was that he wasn't really all those special of a player but looked better due to the talent around him (Cushing & Matthews). So now with Burfict and Harrison around him maybe we get the same effect.

I agree on all points.

If they don't pay Geno, someone will. Recall the insane money Haynesworth got? Someone will pay mega dollars to Geno.... better be this team. Man is only getting better.

As for Rey, I could see that being the case. If Burfict and Harrison raise his level, I am all about it. Rey "CAN" play well, its just that he hasn't much.

When a team gets a steal in a 4th rounder that turns all pro, you don't let him walk away.

When looking at what they have been paying him, the Bengals have been getting over.

I bet when you average what he got during his first contract with what he will get in his next, it will still not be HUGE.

It will be interesting to see.
