Brian Burns is again doing what he is accustomed to doing in lining up as an NFL outside linebacker.

New team, old tricks.

That means playing in every game. That means staying on the field for long stretches. That means applying pressure and accumulating sacks, not by the bushel, but enough to remind everyone he is a presence and a defender who needs to be accounted for on a snap-by-snap basis.

And it means losing far too much. Again.
