Does Vontaze Burfict make All Rookie Team?

[ImpactPlaya]

I did read somewhere that #55 has 151 tackles according to CincyJungle?
that is a insane amount for a guy that didn't even start opening week.
I think him and Janoris Jenkins have the best years for rookie defensive players.
Burfict has really gave this defense a jolt of attitude and a take no prisoners attitude.
Those kind of things don't show up in the stat book.
if he doesn't make All Rookie team ,then something isn't right in Denmark.

Not sure what you've been watching, but Janoris Jenkins has ******. He's been one of the worst CBs in the league.

Burfict has just over 100 tackles, so no, he doesn't have 150...

And Jenkins has been a bottom 10 corner this year. He *****.

Burfict won't even be considered, unless its a weak class.

[momadance02]

The way some people around here talk about Jenkins, you'd think he'd be having a pro bowl year.


The guy STINKS.

this pretty much x2. it's a shame too because he is playing very well.

and yeah Jenkins is trash. INTs aren't everything. he's given up more big TD plays then he has INTs, which is 4.

No, he doesn't have 150 tackles but he'll probably end the season with 115 to 120. That and the intensity he brings to the field leads me to believe he will most definitely be considered.

That actually came from Bengals.com. No where else has the same numbers but Hobson was the one sporting that number claiming it was from the coaches.

Also, he's the 5th best rookie linebacker out there right now behind Kuechly, David, Wagner and Hightower. I'd be surprised if he made the team.

[Steeler Eater]

Burfict gets overshadowed by Kuechly who is leading the league at 151. I say Burfict's 109 is more impressive since he was a UDFA and expected to fail and as mentioned earlier didn't even start until Week 3.

[BengalsBong]

The only reason you dont hear more praise about him is because everyone passed on the guy and if they praise him it is like saying the Bengals are smarter then the rest of us.Not saying he deserves to make the team but a guy that makes 12 or 14 tackles in a game deserves metion from the announcers.

He'll definitely make the All-Rookie team and should be rookie of the year, even over Kuechly because Kuechly plays MIKE, so he's obviously going to have better numbers.

Show me another WILL backer in the NFL, rookie OR vet, that has played as well as Burfict and been more valuable to his team.

[BengalRugby]

No.


He's had an outstanding season for a Bengals team in desperate need of LB play, but not good enough for the all rookie team. Only way he makes it is if they consider production versus draft position/expectation.

Heck, I want him to miss making the squad. It will make contract negotiations easier in a few years when the Bengals are working to re-sign him.

[Aj Dalton]

Burfict's value is not just tackling and all the other stats. His true value is his intensity, nastiness, and that bad boy swagger which our D originally lacked. Remember our defense wasn't so good in the beginning of the season? Honestly I thought we had "nice" guys on this team. Once Burfict replaced howard our defense became dominate. Coincidence? I dont think so. Burfict is the spark of fire for this defense.

I love me some 'Taze, but Mychal Kendricks and Lavonte David would give him a good run for his money in this class as best Weakside backer. Throw in Bobby Wagner and Luke Keuchley, and I'm not sure he'd fit on the all Rookie team. And that's excluding the 'Bama backers, Mercilus, and a number of 3-4 LBs that have performed more than admirably.

Kuechly has only played MLB one game this year.

You're right, but will they look at it that way?

[bengalwdey1]

He has 109 total tackles but what stands out is he leads the team in solo tackles with 63 for an undrafted rookie thats pretty impressive.

[Bngal4life]

don't want to make a big deal of it, especially knowing we scored the undrafted FA of the year, but did anybody see VB at the end of the Pitt game? Obviously didn't catch it when we were watching it live, but I noticed on Replay last night just as JB was kicking the beautiful game winner, you could see VB walking toward the tunnel right under the goal post, and I swear to God he just walked along and didn't even pay attention to the play. Not like when you see players on the sideline when they can't bear to watch and they look away. He literally glanced over and kept walking like he had no interest in the outcome. It was crazy. Very unexpected, especially coming from him. So what's up with that? If you taped it, check it out. (Lord, please don't go the way of Odell).

[THE PISTONS]

Kuechly is pretty good.

Is it me or has Burfict struggled some the past few games...especially in coverage?

Still for what he costed us...hes playing well. I like Lamur too. He is really good in coverage.

I've only watched one St. Louis game wire to wire this year and he did a very good job on Megatron. I actually think he has more TDs than our #2 WR. I wouldn't mind having him instead of instead of Dre but that's just me.

He was injured, probably worried that his season may be over. That's my guess.

Burfict made ESPN's "All AFC North Team"...rookies and vets included.

Burfict was never that great in coverage. Although, Burfict is still playing EXTREMELY well for an UDFA.

I would like to see more Lamur to be honest. I haven't really seen Lawson much, if anything anymore.

You want him to miss making the squad to make contract negotiations easier? That's lame. Why don't you just say you wish he'd break his neck or something, that would make it real easy wouldn't it. The kid trying to improve himself, and you want to hate him for it. Happy New Year pal. You should be carefull walking up and down steps today.

He hurt his wrist, he was going to get it x-rayed.

[bengals67]

Taze had had a great season and grown as a man. He should be on all rookie team and he wil make the pro bowl at some point. Marvin pulled this off brilliantly.

It seems to me that Marvin has been oustanding guding the last three drafts, turning around kids how have had trouble or under performed elsewhere, having a strong team unity and chemistry.

We are very lucky to have Marvin as the leader. I just wonder if his skill set woold make him an oustanding GM with Zimmer having for of the feel and leadershio qualities needed for HC.

We would be set for greatness if Marvin was giving reigns to run the team and Zimmer became head coach.

I really do not want us to lose Zimmer.He is critically important for this team and he is an amzing principled and courageous man.
