Vontaze Burfict - Doesn't know the plays?
"Separate sources, including one close to the program, told me Burfict’s decision to turn pro was likely centered around the fact he was looking at potential eligibility problems in 2012. Everyone I spoke with said Burfict’s struggles in 2011 are directly related to the fact teammate Brandon Magee never took the field during the season after tearing his Achilles in August. I was told Magee, a leader on the ASU defense, was the one who made sure Burfict was properly positioned on the field and made him aware of assignments. This further confirms my report from the Shrine Game last week where different sources told me, "It’s a matter of Burfict not diagnosing plays correctly if put to the test, amongst other things." - DraftInsider.net

lovely
yeah, read where he often misses assignments, over runs the play, goes for “the kill” instead of making the tackle (and whiffs) and plays “beyond the whistle” and draws a lot of penalties (not a good thing)
but this … well, it does explain some missed assignments, etc
and people want this guy in the FIRST? wow … just wow

like what someone posted about Albert a few days ago, where Cassel pointed to a defender as if to say “destroy that, please” and POOF! defender gone

Wow and I was hoping we could get this guy in the 2nd round
I’ve only seen him play in 2 games and he played pretty good, but I had no idea he needed that much help with his assignments

If this is true, then he sounds like LaVar Arrington 2.0
I’m not taking it at face value at this point, but it’s out there.

I almost gaurantee the patriots or the chiefs pick this guy now!
seems like studs on the field that have stuff going bad for them prior to the draft go to the patriots and chiefs every time as a steal, Justin Houston, Brandon Spikes, There are countless others the patriots picked up I just cant pull them off the top of the head.
