Big Blitz Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago In the article he has them 8th - I think his tweet is wrong. I’m optimistic about the D line but I mean - we have to see it before you put almost a brand new group with some Rookies that high. Obviously Bernard and Milano help. The Bills contacted opposing running backs at or behind the line of scrimmage at the league’s second best rate last year (53%), and the front seven may be stronger in 2025. Few teams can match Buffalo’s depth on the defensive line after the additions of Joey Bosa in free agency and draft picks T.J. Sanders, Landon Jackson,and Deone Walker. 1 1 Quote
Thurman#1 Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago (edited) I mean, yeah, they have a ton to prove. But knowing the future is impossible, though predicting or guessing right is not. To me it's with the reasonably possible set of outcomes. A bit on the high side, but not irrational or illogical at all. Just looked at Cover1's looks at why the defense had problems on third downs. They largely said the pressure was genuinely good, but the balls came out quickly and the defensive backfield wasn't fooling anybody the way they had in years before with Power and Hyde, so teams were completing the quick routes and converting the longer third downs. They had a lot of quick pressure on 3rd downs, but turning them into sacks, not so good, largely because even when the pressure was quick, the ball was out before they got there. They were 11th overall in quick pressures (2.5 seconds or less), 9th in quick pressure rate, and had the 7th fastest time to pressure rate in the league. (from the Cover 1 video below).

BigAl2526 Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Except in the case of Buffalo, it's a front six. Or do you include Taron Johnson as part of the front seven? Quote
