ArmyBengal Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 There were 12 WR’s taken ahead of Burton. Honestly I liked every single one of them. Agree he may suffer from the glut of receiving options at Burrow’s disposal, but he has that ability to really shine in this offense. I still stand by thinking that Gesicki is going to swallow up his fair share of snaps from the slot as well. As much as I loved Boyd, his time was up here. I wish him the best in Tennessee and think he will have a better season there than he would have had here. Well, at least more opportunities. I cannot wait to see this offense in all its glory week one. Just stay healthy men !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 Any chance we can give some snaps on the R I G H T side to Jaxson Kirkland? see what he can do over there where we are HURTIN' wouldnt hurt to see if he can help over there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 Not sure how much Burton will impact passing game this year without injury. However, his possible impact on return game does at least keep him active on game day. Last tackle spot is interesting. Both Ford and I guess Kirkland give you options for depth inside. I have not seen Carman work inside this preseason so I'm guessing he's done given the late snaps in the 4th quarter. Maybe a Mims PUP or IR placing saves him. Caught Zac's post game. He seemed to be annoyed at someone on offense about not picking up the blitz that caused them problems. He acted like those should have not been surprised. I'm guessing its either a Center or QB not making the calls to change protection. Both were off the right side on the edge. The only other candidate for mistake would be Ford, I guess.

AMPHAR Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 Obvious observation but in order to get all these guys touches, the ball must be snapped. So converting 3rd downs and getting snap counts up into the 70s is the only way to do it. That goes directly back to the O-line improving dramatically on 1st down runs and cutting out negative or 1 yard carries and of course negating pass rush pressures.

ArmyBengal Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 These jokers have got to clean up the penalties as well. Yeah, preseason, but clean it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 I'll take whatever good news there is to be had about the o-line. As much as I enjoy the preseason, I always take it with a grain of salt. Much like the UDFA linebacker that has been blowing up the preseason, Njongmeta from Wisconsin. You would think he's the next coming of Dick Butkus with all the talk. If he's simply solid depth, that would be a steal in and of itself. That and any more would all be gravy. I like gravy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
