Ty is right, he wasn't great, but I thought he bought a mental calm in there, where that was a couple of chicken's with their head cut off almost before he got in there...
And they were tasked with stopping one of the best RBs in the NFL.
And yet according to PFF Burks was the highest rated defensive player last week.

3) Usually they were using Redmond as the coverage LB, and he made a number of errors... Burks hasn't seemed to be able to beat out the Safeties for the coverage LB spot, and the other LBers beat him for run defense.
4) It'll be interesting to see if Burks might get an increase of playing time from this, and maybe Redmond (whom played in from of Greene) less time... we still need someone to cover McCaffrey when we face the Panthers.
