TRENCH TALK: Are the Buffalo Bills’ OL & DL BUILT for a DEEP 2026 Playoff Run?

About this episode

Joe Marino and Jerry Ostroski analyze the Buffalo Bills' offensive and defensive line dynamics for the upcoming 2024 season.

Buffalo Bills' trench warfare takes center stage as Joe Marino and Jerry Ostroski break down the O-line and D-line dynamics shaping the team's 2024 outlook. Can Dion Dawkins' revamped physique and Spencer Brown's health provide the stability Buffalo needs up front? With Alec Anderson stepping in at left guard, the pressure is on for the new-look offensive line. On defense, Deone Walker’s upside as a gap-control specialist draws major buzz, while Jim Leonhard’s scheme raises questions about how TJ Sanders, Landon Jackson, and Ed Oliver will rotate. The episode also spotlights outside linebackers Greg Rousseau, TJ Parker, and Michael Hoecht in a crowded edge group. Are the Bills equipped to neutralize star pass rushers like Will Anderson and Myles Garrett—and can their own front set the tone for a playoff run?
