(S30) PT 3 - Short-Term Goals

I worte a long media piece (gotta keep that equipment well stocked) last season about the areas Burfict was going to look to improve, and things have gone pretty well so far. He's registering over a sack per game... I've always had this as a target. I could say that his overall tackle count is an area for concern (at time of writing he has 50 in the 9 game played) but to be honest, the Arizona defence are so damn efficient that teams don't often get much of an opportunity to carry the ball against Burfict. However there is one area I'd like to see an improvement on; forced fumbles. Last season Burfict lead the league in this stat with 6 forced fumbles (2 recovered). So that's 6 in 16 games. This season Arizona have 9 wins/games and Burfict only has 2 fumbles (1 recovered) where as the league leader Lover has 4. So yeah, I want Burfict to step up his game even if he's not often on the field for long. Get that ball lose L'Gazzy! In terms of how he's gonna do that... Well I'm pleased to see that he was recently maxed out as a Linebacker so there should be no excuses in that department. Maybe the only real way is for Arizona so be less dominant in games and allow the opposition more plays on the field? But hey, it doesn't appear like that's an option which will go down well in the Locker Room. So I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed instead.
