[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 537558"] I go back and forth on whether Burnett is better suited to free or strong. Early on he looked like a hard nosed tackler; not so much after the injury. On the other hand, he seems to make more than his share of bad judgements in coverage which casts doubt on his ability to be calling the backfield in the first place. I'm not sure if Burnett is not a smart football player or a sufficiently instinctual football player or just not smart enough to be calling Capers' D. I suspect he'd play better without having to get mentally bound up in the calls. I sense if he could just go play his hitting would improve. Unfortunately, he's been paid to play FS. Capers has commented in past years that the safeties should be interchangeable. We've not heard that in quite a while; maybe that's a reality check taken against some ideal, or maybe it's a realization that it buys you jacks of all trades and masters of none, or maybe he was spoiled by Collins and thought we could coach up 2 hit-blitz-and-cover guys. I would prefer to never again have to conjecture what Capers is thinking, but I don't hold out a lot of hope. [/QUOTE]
