‘The Bills’ defense has the same issues it’s had for the better part of the last five years. They can’t tackle, they can’t sustain a pass rush, and now their secondary fields no one reliable. Even Christian Benford hasn’t looked great, and he is coming off a year in which he was one of the five best cornerbacks in football. Tre’Davious White is a fossil, and yet Sean McDermott still trots him out as the No. 2 cornerback. Taylor Rapp has taken a step back. Cole Bishop makes the occasional splash play, but isn’t developed enough where he can be relied upon as an every-down difference-maker at safety. Taron Johnson can’t tackle.’
