Drake Maye Addresses Criticism from Giants Linebacker Brian Burns
Drake Maye, the New England Patriots quarterback, recently addressed comments from Brian Burns, a two-time Pro Bowl edge rusher for the New York Giants. Burns recognized Maye’s skills but suggested that he might be overly composed in the pocket. According to Burns, this approach could lead to risky situations, particularly concerning awareness of incoming pass rushers.
Drake Maye’s Response to Brian Burns
In a media interaction, Maye reflected on Burns’ comments. He expressed uncertainty about what Burns meant by being “too poised.” Despite this, he acknowledged Burns’ talent and achievements. “Not 100% [sure] what that really means,” Maye stated. “I try to keep my eyes down the field while feeling pressure.”
Preparation for Upcoming Game
As the Patriots prepare for their game against the Giants, Maye faces increased pressure due to injuries on the offensive line. Left tackle Will Campbell and likely left guard Jared Wilson will both be absent, potentially allowing Burns to disrupt Maye’s plays effectively.
- Key Players: Drake Maye, Brian Burns
- Teams: New England Patriots, New York Giants
- Game Situation: Monday’s match against the Giants
- Injuries: Left tackle Will Campbell, likely left guard Jared Wilson
Despite the Giants’ current record of 2-10, they remain a competitive team. Maye must stay alert against a defensive lineup that can capitalize on his missteps. The upcoming game will be a pivotal test for the young quarterback as he navigates both Burns’ criticism and the challenges of an injured offensive line.
