Panthers 20, Giants 17
Q. What are your takeaways from the game and what can be improved for the rest of the season?
BRIAN BURNS: Starting faster, stopping the run better, try to limit those explosive plays. Those are pretty much the main things.
Q. What were (indiscernible) to have that level of success?
BRIAN BURNS: He was just being really patient. He was waiting to find his open seam, his open gap, and he was hitting it. You know, just got to be more gap disciplined with patient backs like that.
Q. We asked Dexter about the crack toss and he said the edges were a problem there in terms of stopping the run. What did you see in that regard?
BRIAN BURNS: Yeah, crack toss. Actually I think they tried to run one more on me and then I got a holding call or whatever the case may be. Yeah, those perimeter runs are a little tricky to fit, especially when it gets outside of us. The end is a little tricky to fit as far as how the DBs come down and rotate. We've just got to be a little bit more dialed in on that and tackle well.
Q. (Indiscernible) some injury from the past or just a hit?
BRIAN BURNS: Oh, it was just a hit. I think I probably got a deep contusion or something to my thigh, but it's nothing crazy. Just at the moment my leg went a little dead.
Q. Where does this team go from here?
BRIAN BURNS: It's still the same with me. Take every day as its own, take every game as its own game. It's a process at the end of the day. Like I said, our record ain't going to change overnight. Just got to stick to the process.
Q. I'm wondering if you heard what Dex said at the end about the message being comprehended but not fully --
BRIAN BURNS: What message?
Q. From, I guess, Coach. He was asking about Daniel's attention to detail?
BRIAN BURNS: I got in pretty late. I had a lot of familiar faces I was outside talking to. So I got in pretty late. I might have missed a lot of what Daboll said.
Q. What do you think about the message that Dabes is giving your team and how it's translating to the field?
BRIAN BURNS: The message he gave after the game?
Q. Just in general, the message that he's giving to the team, being fully heard and comprehended and brought out to the field and doing what needs to be done in the game?
BRIAN BURNS: The message before the game was detail oriented, focus, do your job, do your 1/11. I don't know the message after the game. I probably wasn't in there yet.
Q. You said the other day that this game probably would mean a little more to you. Did it mean more to you? Does it hurt you a little more to lose a game like this?
BRIAN BURNS: Yeah, it hurt. You know, losing like that and losing to a team I spent extended amount of time with hurt, and seeing all those faces that was in the building was a little tough. But it was straight. I was happy to see them.
Q. How did you enjoy the German fans?
BRIAN BURNS: Oh, I enjoyed it. They were very interactive throughout the whole game, singing songs, cheering for stuff that didn't necessarily need to be cheered for, but it was fun. I really enjoyed it.
Q. Do you have a preference traveling overseas later in the season versus earlier regarding your rhythm and routines?
BRIAN BURNS: I'd probably like to travel earlier. The only other time I traveled was my rookie year to London, and that was a pretty early game. Later in the season, it's a little taxing with the sleep schedule and everything. You kind of get in a routine and it kind of throws you off. But it's kind of good we've got a bye week to bounce back.
