Marino my friend, a few points......
I thought your Trace comparison was of age. I thought you were comparing to older players, I obviously misunderstood the comparison.
Now onto my points.....I said Burnett never got doubled on running downs because the interior lineman, aka Adams were getting doubled. Were they pass situations?? NOOOOOO. Does Timbo get doubled because of his pass rush ability? No, I think you need to check your clue there pal.
I also was not saying you were implying Burnett would lead the league in sacks or go to the probowl, where did I give you that impression? I merely strongly disagree that he can get to the QB at all.
Of course Miami has a super talented Defense, and Dline, but it is not as good as Baltimore's defensive unit. So he did have more talent around him. Comparing our D to Baltimore's and saying it is less talented is like saying Indy's offense is less talented than St Louis', which it is, but does that make Indy's O a bad one? Hell no dude, same deal with Miami. Player for Player we can't match up.
As it was already kindly pointed out, Sharpe and Woodson both signed for over the vet min. If you think Baltimore can't sign people to the vet min then you need to study up on capology 101.
This is my last post on the isue. I have made my case, if you don't agreee that is fine, everybody is obviously entitled to their own opinion, I just have trouble in seeing what logic people use in deriving opinions sometimes.
I have no prob with Burnett coming here IF he is at the min and is promised NOTHING! If he earns a place, I welcome him with open arms, I just can't see him producing much of anything. Hopefully he can still hold his point against the run.
Last word.....(from me) Burnett is washed up.
