The Bills may be without their top corner Christian Benford heading into their matchup with the Patriots today, but Jeremy, Nate, and Joe explain why they think the Bills will be just fine...

00:00The name, Kanai Walker, if that sounds familiar to anyone out there,
00:03you may remember him from training camp star that didn't make the team,
00:08and people were a little nervous about that because he looked so good.
00:11He made it through waivers, made it back here,
00:13and here he is elevated to the game day roster,
00:15or at least we'll see if he, whatever, called up.
00:18So if he does have to play, we really liked him in the preseason.
00:22He was one of the very few names that was a surprise.
00:26Everybody else that played well in the preseason, had a good preseason,
00:28Skylar Bell maybe, but I feel like Kanai Walker was a little bit of the camp standout.
00:33Yeah, and you would hope that, obviously, these guys are not starting anyway.
00:36You're going to have two guys that have been playing already this season
00:41and have both looked relatively good in Harrison and Igbenosan.
00:44If they stay healthy, they're just going to play the whole day,
00:47and that's, I think, okay.
00:50What they've showed so far, I mean, we'll see what IGB looks like in a full game,
00:54but is anybody really worried about their ability to cover anybody on the other side of the field
00:59if they just stay healthy the whole game?
01:01No.
01:01I mean, the difference between this week and next week is massive.
01:04You know, I mean, the Patriots offense versus a Sean McVay offense,
01:07and Pukin, Devontae Adams next week versus, I mean, Romeo Dobbs and Matt Collins
01:13and Pop Douglas.
01:14Pop Douglas.
01:15That's going to be, to me, that's the real matchup.
01:18I think if I looked at this just as a chess match where I'd say, okay, maybe that's advantage Patriots,
01:24is I think the Bills are 28th in EPA per play against slot receivers right now.
01:28They're giving up, I think, the third most yards to slot receivers in the NFL for three weeks.
01:33So if there's one area where maybe you're looking at matchups, it's D'Alford versus Pop Douglas.
01:39But, you know, I mean, I think you take your chances against a slot receiver.
01:43But the big play, which is what I thought last season this New England Patriots offense lived on,
01:50is not there for them right now.
