It is also possible, if what he said is true,  that this is not Burke's idea at all, that it is simply being forced on him, because he doesn't have a clue, and they can't fire him right now because they signed him to the extension.
 
I have little faith that Burke is capable of learning enough to be an excellent head coach. A defensive coach who admits he know nothing about offences, when he was supposedly designing defences to stop what the offence was doing...is telling. To say nothing of bad decisions, poor personnel decisions, and someone who just says the first thought that pops into his head.

I'm surprised there hasn't been more comment about this. They use him like they want to pad his stats and go for records when the game is already over. A speed guy like him (a Fred Reid type) can really be hampered by small injuries, so why the unnecessary contact? They may regret this come November. Terrific season for him to this point but I don't expect it to last.

As much as I enjoy watching the best running back in the league run the ball, doing it at this point is just asking for an injury.

The most productive time for the offense was the last 7 games of last season, when Buck was in the booth with the headset on. Now if you ask me, you could pretty much take any former CFL QB and ask them to call the plays from Crowtons play book and it would be an improvement.

I am not one to Horse a Deadbeat but I think the 2013 Goltz is much faster than the 2013 Buck....I think. 

...and it's not even close. Buck of '10/'11 no longer exists. ...And I say that as a relatively big BP fan. The guy has just been hit way too many times...

thanks to a 70+ yard td run from Simpson... 
 
The problem here is that PIerce is not a good fit for the offense Crowton has put together. He's no Calvillo and never will be. He can not read and throw quickly. At his best Pierce was a guy who extended things with his legs or just tucked and ran. But he can't play like that anymore and the idea to protect him and make him a pocket passer while a noble idea is just a mistake at this point. All it does is turn Pierce into a sitting duck because he can't play that game anymore. The catch is that he can't play his game anymore either so they just need to get rid of the guy and get someone who can play some type of game.

D Pierce has been loyal, he deserves the chance first.

Elliot was given a chance at training camp... BC's. He's 3rd string for them.

I have a feeling this will be my work day
 

I'd bring Brink back first.
