This makes me happy. I like Burton and didn't necessarily want to see him gone, but I never understood why they didn't use Blake Bell in that role. We use him for QB sneaks, we could use him as a lead blocker for the RBs (not that we did that much outside of that throwback sweep play in the Superbowl, but you get what I'm saying).
With this news, I'd say Justyn Ross likely has an early hold on the #7 spot. I'm assuming he'd be a better special teams player than John Ross, though.
