Falcons
- Falcons HC Raheem Morris said there are no concerns about QB Kirk Cousinsโ Achilles: โHeโs been full go for a while now.โ (Marc Raimondi)
Giants
Giants OLB Brian Burns was brought to New York to try to provide a jolt to a defense that was near the bottom of the league in yards per game last season.
โI feel like itโs our responsibility to make sure the defense elevates,โ Burns said, via ESPN. โI put it more on the leaders and captains of the defense to raise the level of play.โ
Burns has high expectations for himself every season and plans on bringing double-digit sack potential to New York.
โIโd be disappointed if I werenโt a double-digits sack guy anywhere,โ Burns said. โI mean, but thatโs just my personal goals.โ
Giants HC Brian Daboll emphasized itโs going to take all 11 players on each side of the ball to make an impact, but having a player like Burns can make their jobs easier.
โYeah, any good player makes a difference,โ Daboll said. โI canโt quantify it. Heโs a good pass rusher. Heโs done a good job in camp. It takes 11 people to play good on defense. It takes 11 people to play good on offense, special teams. But when you have a good player, that certainly helps the other 10 players.โ
