MMQB: Bills ground game is primed to take off this year

Buffalo’s ground game takes off. After restocking their once-futile offensive line with four newcomers—powerful ex-Titan Quinton Spain at left guard, nimble ex-Chief Mitch Morse at center, sneakily athletic ex-Redskin/Jet Spencer Long at right guard and second-round rookie Cody Ford (Oklahoma) at right tackle—the Bills can finally maximize their backfield talent.

I like Benoit's work usually.  He is correct about how we are going to run the ball successfully behind a pretty solid offensive line.  We will be top 2 in NFL rushing IMO.  But he downplays our pass rush, and hints that's our achilles heal at D.  Last year our pass rush was a one man show most of the time(although surprisingly the Bills ranked 13th pass rush efficiency).  The Bills had the number 2 defense in NFL last year.  2019 is where they become elite because the pass rush.  We our returning the whole defensive unit, after playing together for a year+, getting this system down.  We have best secondary in NFL. Trent Murphy is playing like it's 2016, not 2018.  Shaq is in contract year, best shape of life, and will get single teamed  all year.  Jerrys DE counterpart will bring it this year.  And Ed Oliver will bring it from the inside.  He just might be that rare game changer at DT.  If Bills can stay healthy, this might be best Bills D ever(no offense 1999, 1964, 2005, 1990 nothing but respect).  No matter what, I guarantee one thing- this Bills D will be fun to watch!
