Some elf but a month into the season it’s hard to say a handful of drives against vanilla offenses going less than 110% is a game changer still The (returning) Vets don't necessarily need the reps. New players do though. Vets and rooks.

Some elf but a month into the season it’s hard to say a handful of drives against vanilla offenses going less than 110% is a game changer still Agree - he would most likely only rack up 3 quarters of a game, but it would be at least 2 or 3 teams going 100% and it helps players get used to the speed and physicality. It would also allow the front 7 time to meld together and understand strengths and weaknesses. Right now they are not playing as a unit, but more like a group of individuals. They also have several new guys in the D-line rotation and very little time they have physically played together to get a feeling for each other. What I see - especially in the Rams game - is the DT is getting blocked 1 on 1 and allowing the guard to get a body on Edmunds. His greatest weakness is fighting off blocks and maintaining the gap and he struggled big time with that against LA. The Jets did very little running - so they barely worked on it and he was out against the Dolphins. I think that lack of prep really hurt in this game. The Bills in general have really not had to stop a running attack since last year and I think it showed. It shows around the league where defensive teams are just not fluid early in the year.

Think what I saw or heard in week 1 and 2 they are down 73%. League sent a memo this year saying it has to be clear and obvious.

Vets and rooks. very few in that number and a lot of them played with McD before. i get it, there’s some impact but less substantial then I believe most think
