Watching the Bills put up a 10 minute drive running, dinking and dunking on us didn't exactly convince me we've improved anything in that category. It was against our rotational D-line guys but pretty much all of our starting LB's and secondary were out there the whole drive

Yeah, I am skeptical of our run defense overall because I just think we run a scheme with personnel that aren't suited to excel in that front seven. 

We have some high caliber talent but the overall makeup and especially the depth seems much more suited to creating pass rush pressure than being physically dominant or locking down the line of scrimmage in the run game.

We will see, though. Maybe it is better than expected

Garret and Clowney are big concerns, particularly with a rookie LT

I expect a low scoring defensive battle with two ugly offenses struggling to move the ball.

What makes you think we’re gonna have an ugly offense?

We have to stack the box to slow down Chubb and Hunt. We also will need to watch Njoku, and Hunt from the backfield in their pass game. You have to force Brissett to beat you and not with dump offs. 

Yeah you’d think the whole point of investing in the secondary like we have is so you can commit more to run defense and pass rush when you need to…especially against a backup QB and the browns’ wide receivers

* I don’t expect the OL to be very good early in the season and I think a lot of people think that is no longer a problem.
