The infamous "Mr. Cooper" concerns the hell out of me. Yeah, the rookies played well in the preseason, but Kupp is a different beast

I’m pretty sure T Johnson will be on Kupp

I have a feeling the Bills D will be ok.  They are pretty good against the pass.  What worries me is I'm going to be migrating my ERP that night and I can't watch the game.

I think the additions of Von Miller and Tim Settle are going to mean more to the Bills Secondary than anything.

Very interested in seeing how the Oline holds up against Donald and how the Dline holds up against the run. Going to get a good temperature check against the defending champions.

I am also interested to see if Jordan Phillips can get some sacks and pressures.

Will know what we have in our CBs early. Hoping the pass rush helps them along early this season.

Expect a lot of zone and keeping the Rams out of the end zone. Mix in some blitzes and disguised coverage and we can rattle Stafford.

One point that was made is potentially size mismatch with the Ram's receivers, without details. 

 

So I decided to look at whether that's reality.  Higbee is 6'6".  Kupp and Robinson 6'2".   I think their rookie McCutcheon is bigger - 6'4" or something?

 

Relatively speaking, the Bills DBs are smurfs.  Dane Jackson and Taron Johnson are 5'11".  Elam and Benford are 6'1".  Poyer and Hyde are 6'0", but if Poyer can't go then Jaquan Johnson is 5'10".

 

When you flip the ball, our receivers are relatively smurfs again this year - Diggs is 6' and Davis 6'2, but Crowder and McKenzie 5'9 and 5'8".  For the Rams, Hill is 5'11" and Ramsey 6'0, Fuller 6'2 but Long and Scott are shorter safeties at 5'11".  Knox at 6'4" is solid, but not Higbee size.  (I do wish Howard had worked out)

 

Obviously, it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog, but there's something to "he's always open 2 feet above his head" and it does look as though there might be a bit of a size mismatch on both sides.
