re: Trezmen Marshall

Burton is quick but he doesn’t get open early. This is usually a sign of bad hand work to get disengaged from press man and/or sloppy route running that doesn’t maximize spacing off change of direction.

It is telling that almost all of Burton’s biggest plays were occasions that protection or Young’s escapability allowed him to run across the width of the field deep for a reception. He can separate using his speed with enough time.

I tend to think his biggest problem is sloppiness with his footwork, hips, etc that isn’t creating the separation expected from a cut inward or outward. We’ve had some legendary route runners lately, so he’s getting some tough comps. Guys like Juedy and Smitty were masters at working those advantages.
