So Burnett gets hurt and Burns implodes. That means we never see the 3 safety or 7 DB Package that was promised. Instead Bostic, Fort, and Allen get pressed into roles they aren’t capable of filling. This works as long as the defense plays with a lead and the opposing QB can operate under a heavy rush. Clearly that doesn’t always happen. So this leads to the question of whether the inability to move Sutton and the ALLENS into these roles is coaching/scheme or just not having good enough players?
I suspect we’ll never know. But somewhere in all this is the key to the season.
