As a Raider fan you guys will not see much of me, but I wanted to congratulate you pats fans on picking up a good football guy in DB. I give the trade a 9 for you guys and a 6 for us.
Allot of the haters are going to come in here and say the guy has lost a step bla bla bla. Truth is you guys are going to get an extremely motivated, nasty football player, who at the end of his career badly wants a championship. I think he is going to do a great job in space going after a QB, he has always been pass rush specialist and I am confident your coaching staff will better use him to that end. DB is a liability against the run but not to the extent that he can not play a half or more of the time. His struggles also could have been due to the fact that my team continues to ignore the interior defensive line, but that is a post for another day on another forum.
Bottom line: Burgess is going to have another breakout year on a team with a sound defensive philosophy.
I'd like to add a .5 to 1 point to my score after reading this very "non-bias, non-homered" assessment from a guy whose watched him way more than any of us over the last few years.
A++ Dude. Thanks.
