Bills-Raiders Preview: Maxx Crosby, James Cook & Buffalo’s Defensive Issues

Centered on Buffalo Podcast w/Eric Wood | For Buffalo Bills Fans

About
The Buffalo Bills are coming off a win over the Los Angeles Rams and now head to Las Vegas with a chance to enter the bye week at 5-1.
Eric Wood and Josh Reed break down the issues that continue to show up in Buffalo’s secondary, the rotation between Max Hairston and IGB, and why the coverage has made life more difficult for the Bills pass rush.
They also discuss Tyler Grable stepping in for Spencer Brown, James Cook’s continued ball-security issues, and how Buffalo should attack a Raiders defense that has struggled to stop the run.
Plus, Eric explains how the Bills can handle Maxx Crosby, whether Buffalo could get aggressive before the trade deadline, and what needs to improve defensively before the schedule gets tougher after the bye.
