Major Burns has untapped potential. See highlights…

I like Chris Blair but don’t like that he gives the exact yard line things happen.

Burns was already in the end zone by the time Blair deciphered the pick happened at about the 16. Too much thinking—just round to the nearest 5.

ETA: most of the second video is just him celebrating/dancing. that’s appropriate.

Seriously, there were only 2 links with game highlights and those amounted to a handful of plays. The first link in context was Missouri desperate to drive down the field in a few seconds. He played his short responsibility and the QB stared down the WRer the entire time. The INT in the second link the ball was thrown right to him. The WR being targeted was actually covered by another LSU defender so he was playing free on that play. Gggggeeezzzzz! You have got to be kidding me. I was hoping that Sage Ryan would stay in the portal and Burns would turn pro....free up two scholarships But of course everyone here knows that Burns would not be drafted.

He is a good player, but last season, his play was bad. Hopefully the coaching can get him back to being the player he was. It seems like he has been here going back to Les.

White people aren’t even allowed to listen to the second one.

I literally thought you were talking about Major Frank Burns. My disappointment

Major never been the same since that neck injury

Literally two of the easiest interceptions ever and a shite ton of dancing and celebrating. I see nothing here.

Lmao the first link was one play in which a blind person could see where the qb was going with that ball.

The second link wasn’t even a minute long and featured three plays and like 45 seconds of him flexing and/or talking shite.

The third link fricking high school camp tape from 4 fricking years ago.

The fourth link is a fricking letter to his dad.

He’s not a good ball player. LSU would do well to find a replacement ASAP.

I caught on to Burns being soft and slow at processing the game several years ago. I’m not trying to crap on the kid, but he is NOT LSU starter level and never has been. He should be nothing but a backup. And it’s disconcerting the trend we see of coaches in recent years elevating players that we’ve seen do nothing but be a liability on the field for years, to crowing about them being “leaders” and the best of our players. Just because of their seniority on the team, not because of talent or ability. I understand how coaches want to portray senior players as pillars of the team to help their draft status as much as possible… but it’s disingenuous.

Truth is, Burns is not light enough on his feet to recover and make a solid tackle after he overcommits and gets put on skates. When he does make contact, it isn’t solid most of the time, he has trouble diagnosing plays and knowing where he needs to be, he sucks in coverage and tries to compensate by keeping space between him and receivers - all that does is create easy completions. RARELY do we see him being confident enough to jump a route. When he does, his instincts are usually wrong and he ends up getting burned. Also he’s not fast, violent, or maneuverable enough to cause QBs to hesitate to throw into tight windows or RBs to stutter step and lose momentum. They just run right through him.

Again, Im just making an honest assessment of what I’ve seen. Got nothing against him. Just know he doesn’t belong as a starter or especially a star player. And if he’s the best we got, our D is TRULY trash (it is).

Effort is untapped
