Let's play a game.

See if you can match the listed height and weight to each linebacker in the quintet of Brian Burns, Tremaine Edmunds, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Abdul Carter, and rookie fifth overall pick Arvell Reese.

Here are your choices:

• 6-5, 250
• 6-5, 258
• 6-4, 243
• 6-3, 252
• 6-4, 251

Give up? That's because, in the memetic words of Pam Beesly, they're the same picture.

"Me, Tremaine, Arvell, KT and Abdul all look the same," Burns said on the “Giants Huddle” podcast. "And we can all drop, all rush, so it's just like you don't really know who's doing what."

If you can't tell without looking at the roster page on Giants.com, you can imagine the problems that opposing offenses will have when they see that pre-snap photo in the heat of a game.

Inside and outside, the linebacker corps will try to create what Burns said is the hallmark of Dennard Wilson's defense.

"It's not going to be simple for an offense to read or understand exactly what we're doing, and that's the beauty in defense in my opinion," Burns said. "And on top of that, you have world-class athletes at our size that can move around and do a lot of different things."

Burns concluded, "I just feel like it's going to be organized chaos."

What sets this defense apart is the addition of Edmunds and Reese, a pair of lengthy inside linebackers who can cover the width of the field, to the deep group of edge rushers.

"I have never seen that," said Burns, a three-time Pro Bowler entering his eight NFL season. "Yeah, these are going to be the biggest [inside] linebackers I've ever played with. … It does a ton [for the defense], honestly, and then they are two guys that can move sideline to sideline, great speed, closing speed, able to play in space, cover. So, it does a lot honestly because the run defense should be better with them because they're able to take on these blocks that's climbing up to them, as well as the versatility that we're going to have with this defense as far as blitzing and getting to different fronts just because of the size that they are."

Moving all those pieces around requires a high level of coordination, and Burns thinks Wilson is the man for the job.

"I think Dennard does a great job of explaining what he wants and why he wants something," Burns said. "That makes the picture a lot clearer. … I like how intentional he is. He gets exactly what he wants, what he's looking for, out of the call. And like that he takes all the gray area out so there's no confusion. Everybody knows exactly what to do. That's something simple to say, but you know, it goes overlooked, that type of attention to detail."

Individually, that could mean another banner year for Burns.

His 16.5 sacks last season tied Jason Pierre-Paul (2011) for fourth-most in a single season by a Giants defender. Burns' 31 quarterback hits, meanwhile, marked the most by any Giant since the statistic started being tracked in 2006.

"I would just say I feel like my process was a little bit better and I allowed my experience to help me in certain ways that I didn't before," Burns said. "[I did it by] using plays, like letting the play work for me, being able to set my rushes up through the play call, just specific details as far as if there's a specific call that requires me to do something, stay outside or whatever the case may be. I use that as a way to set up my rush when it comes down to third down and we're able to do whatever. So I just use those simulators, those blitzes, those pressures, to basically set up my chess pieces as I'm going through the game."

His 2025 campaign was also evidence that a relentless motor tends to get rewarded.

"The game blesses you when you give your all to it," Burns said. "When you give your all in preparation, process, respect, gratitude, I feel like the football gods take care of you."
