Re: If the Ravens can't get Vontaze Burfict...
Seriously? Did you see how many times Pitts 3rd/4th runningback ran right up the middle on 3rd down when everybody in the stadium knew what they were doing?
I'm rooting for the kid because its a good story but last night was rough.

both those defenses looked soft. What has happened to the AFCN?

Re: If the Ravens can't get Vontaze Burfict...
Not sure what game you were watching and not saying the guy was stopping ever run, but there is more than one player on the field that has to help stop the run. I seen a LB making plays last night, and it wasn't Maulalugauauala. I though Burfict had a solid game.

Such a sad thread. We could use Burfict RIGHT NOW. We blew it. Not the end of the world, but this one we blew.

As I have said on this board, several times before, the issue with Bengals players is not during their rookie season. The issue comes in after the proverbial 'honeymoon' period is over.

Re: If the Ravens can't get Vontaze Burfict...
Frankly, it's one of the more impressive rookie seasons in recent memory, given that he wasn't even drafted and faced a huge amount of adversity to even get where he is.
This is a kid Mike Mayock and other draftniks specifically went out of their way to pan, insult, and spit on... and here he is, one of the best players on one of the best defenses in the NFL. Now, admittedly, the fact that he went undrafted wasn't unreasonable given all the smoke surrounding his character that arose in the pre-draft process. There had to have been legitimate fire there.
Here's hoping he has a good career ahead of him and continues to clean up his act and stay ahead of the eight ball. A shame the Ravens didn't get him.
