DO THE BILLS HAVE WHAT THEY NEED ON DEFESE? | Seven Days 2 Sunday

On this episode of Seven Days 2 Sunday, Jerry and Zig zero in on one of the biggest questions facing the Buffalo Bills defense heading into the 2026 season: has Brandon Beane actually given Jim Leonhard the personnel he needs to make his system work? The guys frame the conversation around the major philosophical shift Leonhard brings to Buffalo... a more aggressive, multiple-front defense that demands versatility, depth, and high football IQ across the board. They debate whether the current roster, largely built for a different style, can realistically execute that vision right away. Jerry argues that Beane has tried to reshape the unit, pointing to additions along the defensive line and in the secondary that better fit a hybrid scheme. But he questions whether there’s enough top-end talent, especially at linebacker and edge, to consistently win one-on-one matchups, which Leonhard’s system depends on.
