    As painful as this is going to sound, start Coty full time.


    Burns just is not good.

    It's a shame, because I think he has some athleticism, but he has about as much confidence in himself as we do.. which is zero. Even when he is in position, he commits a penalty because he's so unsure of himself.

    Interested to see what happened on the easy TD. As far as the PI late...two things. One it was a weak call IMO ...they got away with much more during the game. Two I don't know if it can be coached out of him but he seems to be in good position sometimes than slows down to look back while the WR is still in his route. He is in perfect position then inexplicably gives up on the coverage. I don't know but it doesn't look good right now.

    At least the coaching staff recognize how badly he's played. I'm glad they are not sending him out there just to save face.

    Ugh. When you are talking about playing Coty Sensebaugh then you know it's bad.

    I think it was Sutton that had a couple nice coverages on their TE... Burns looked bad and VW/chickillo lining up man is a recipe for disaster.

    Sutton and Burns are both huge problems.

    I could easily dump all over Burns but I think its a lack of coaching or lack of instinct. He is there but can't make the right play on the ball.

    On the easy TD he bit badly on nothing more than a shoulder fake.

    Did we not hire a new DB coach that was going to be the answer to these problems.

    Burns now has zero confidence in himself. He needs to sit and watch for a while and bring him back slowly to see if he can get the confidence back. In the meantime Sutton is better the Sensebaugh and should play in his spot. I just wish Sutton would not give the receivers so much room and play them tighter. I think he is better choice at this point in time until Burns can get his head out of his a___ or we get a better player.

    Boyd said after the game he knew the one play would be a touchdown when he saw how far off Burns was playing him, then Burns starts to backpedal. I think they benched him after that.

    Man this guy has truly regressed....He does have some athleticism, but has no confidence and cant keep his eyes out of the backfield. All we need him to be is average and he cant even do that!....He makes Ross Cockrell look like a pro bowler

    At least one sports "journalist" agree with you. The fans always know before them.
    It's time for the Steelers to give Artie Burns a seat on the bench
    https://steelerswire.usatoday.com/2...lers-to-give-artie-burns-a-seat-on-the-bench/

    "It’s time to sit him for a bit and hit his mental reset button."

    For Steelers' Artie Burns, it's a good time for bye (Perhaps Bye, Bye!)

    https://triblive.com/sports/steelers/14184153-74/for-steelers-artie-burns-its-a-good-time-for-bye

    "Burns is at a crossroads in his NFL career."

    When things are good; Burns can't stop talking. When things are bad; he won't man up and discuss his situation.

    Yes he sucked, but does he really suck? Maybe let him sit a bit, get right, and re-evaluate. I hate to give up on the young man just yet. Let the season finish out, give him some chances, and don't be afraid to revoke said chances if necessary.

    In Burns defense... most of the Steelers corners over the past several years have been sub-par, too... not just him. Haden is the only one who doesn't get torched on a regular basis.

    Common sense should say that you can't give any wr a 15 yd cushion from the 14 yd line

    That’s cause Haden would be a 3rd corner on a good defense lol

    Disagree. Haden is better than a 3rd corner unless the defense is great.
