    Haden is a capable starter, probably best as a No. 2 cornerback.

    Hilton should be there every down. I know they only like him in the slot and I guess his size is an issue, but he did a hell of a lot better job when he was on Boyd than Burns.

    When they go nickel, then it should be Sensabaugh on the outside and Hilton in the slot. Sutton has regressed, too, so they really don't have many options.

    sorry yeah I meant great defense, and not to knock haden at all, he has shown how much he means to our defense.

    He's playing on special teams and doing a fine job of making Heyward-Bey's return seem irrelevant, but the coaches don't seem to have any faith in him at corner.

    That entire drive was reason for disgust, starting with the first of two terrible jobs by the kickoff coverage team.

    But yes, Burns was truly awful on the touchdown pass.

    Here is the unsportsmanlike penalty tacked onto the end of the play against Burns when he attacked Jarvis Landry. The WR is only allowed to initiate contact if it's a running play or after the actual receiver has the ball and is running. So Burns has to get it thru his head that when Landry is blocking him, DISENGAGE. Because another receiver has the ball or it's a running play and there is no point in covering Landry anymore because he's not going to get the ball this play. Either Burns doesn't get it, or the coaches haven't taught it. Burns retaliates for Landry's blocking and it's a 15 yard penalty. Burns has to use his head.
