Zanders and Burkhalter are prob. the 2 best open field tacklers on the D. The thing is, we need more speed at mlb. Burkhalter is good on the run....but bottom line is he can't keep up with recievers. You know what I would like to see.....A 4-4 defense with Zanders, Fleming, Burkhalter, and Vance. I don't know why Johnathan Vance hasn't been getting much playing time......he is an athlete and if we are going to run a zone, i think a 4-4 would give us a better chance.
You will see a lot more of Fred Davis at MLB and Daylon McCoy playing a hybrid type linebacker. Davis will eventually replace Burkhalter at MLB he is much more gifted athletically.
