I get criticizing bringing on Burns, I don't love it, but didn't that play gain 5 yards? It's hardly like it was a wasted effort. It did more-or-less what we needed from it. It was the play after that where the center got blown up and basically tackled Love himself that was the problem there, and I'm not sure what playcall you make to avoid "our center can't block".

1) I think lex (and I) are critical of the second Burns run on 2nd and 6 rather than the first. It was a novelty whose "trick" was exposed.

2) Of course it's tougher to plan and playcall around something that's unexpected. Burkett has been excellent all year, up until this game. If, say, Frank Buncom had struggled there's a plan to replace him (because he's often struggled this year). If Quenton Meeks and Burkett do? That's tough.
