I liked the Burns designed run play.
Burns looked like he was running well, and he's a more slippery runner than Chryst, so I could see it working fairly well.
I think it's particularly effective because you have such a viable passing threat -- a quarterback who started a number of games -- so opponents will have to respect the pass, and if they don't, I'd like to see Burns exploit that.
It seems like a good way to leverage Burns's quickness and starting experience, it adds a stronger quarterback run option to our repertoire (especially because certain teams have difficulty with running qbs), it keeps Burns a little more fresh just in case, the playtime rewards a player for returning for his 5th year even though there was a viable transfer option, and it adds another package/set of plays that teams have to prepare for.
So if it continues to work, why not?
