Giants fans will love the reason, too.
New York Giants outside linebacker Brian Burns admitted after Sunday’s practice that he’s “a little pissed off.”
Usually, when there are no pads involved, as has been the case over the last four practices, the advantage goes to the defense. But that hasn’t always been the case in this battle, as Thomas, one of the best blindside protectors in the game, has held his own and then some against the man the Giants are counting on to inject a little more firepower into their pass rush.Burns, for his part, was stewing, if just a bit, over losing more of his battles Sunday against Thomas than he won.
Overall, Burns has been enjoying his new role for his new team. “I haven't been dropping a lot, so that looks good to me,” he said when asked for his early impressions about how he’s been deployed in the defense.Burns is also embracing the challenge put on the defensive front, of which he’ll be a part, to hunt the quarterback, vowing that the pass rush, which was victimized a little too much by the quarterbacks scrambling out of trouble on Sunday, will get better.
