Does that mean we've scrapped Burnett?

Yeah of any of the linebackers get hurt, fans will be really happy that Burnett is a backup.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that we've scrapped Burnett, no, not at all. However, I think this does perhaps send somewhat of a message that Parcells may view Burnett's contributions, or at least his contributions in the early part of the season as fairly limited at best, IMO.

It's called hedgeing your bet. Are they sure that Burnett will workout ... I'd say no, but I doubt they are 100% on Carpenter also. Truth is both, given their talents are more than 50% to hit I would say ... so between the two your chances have been astronomically increased that you've fixed that position opposite Ware ... I'm very encouraged.

I think Burnett still has a good future. But we need a lot of linebackers because it is the most important position in the 3-4. Right now we have Ware, Carpenter, James, Ayodele, Burnett, Singleton, Fowler, Shanle and Thornton. That is a pretty good LB group with a lot of depth. Remember, last year we got killed with a lot of LBs on injured reserve.

Burnett can backup any of the LB spots.
