According to Bloomgren, Burns has gone from "not being able to take the center-quarterback snap to start a play to now where we're doing that consistently well." What? Man, when they said Burns was rough but with lots of talent and upside, they didn't specify that "rough" included not being able to take a direct center snap. Doubly odd because he's been through a whole year of team practices. Maybe that was why the coaches moved Dallas Lloyd to safety. He was hogging all the backup QB snaps.
Moving on, Bloomgren also noted Kelsey Young's problem moving up as a running back was "he wasn't the master of was running the ball from seven yards behind the quarterback..." Hmmm. At Norco they ran the T formation and I could have sworn I saw videos of Young starting lined up behind the QB and taking handoffs on his way to becoming SoCal back of the Year or some such. And all he needed was three years of practice taking handoffs in our formation?
