They also stuffed the stat sheet against abysmal OLs. All teams do this of course...but I agree...for a team that won't blitz...they need much better talent at EDGE and CB to pressure the QB at a high rate. The more I think about their needs at high-value (high cost) positions...getting a young cost-controlled QB is really paramount.

2 areas I have seen teams be good at on defense on high scoring offenses is the safety position and pass rusher position. Bills' safeties are very good at not allowing WRs to go off, which leaves them vulnerable to TEs because they don't have great coverage LBs, IMO, Kelce is going to be a problem. Browns played him with Denzel Ward, he still juked Ward out. 2012 - Ed Reed and company 2013 - Earl Thomas / Chancellor 2014 - McCourty / Chung 2015 - Stewart / T J Ward 2016 - McCourty / Chung again 2017 - Malcolm Jenkins' defense on James White 2018 - Lose count of Patriots safeties, they invest so much in secondary 2019 - Tyrann Mathieu making plays I am thinking exceptional safety play is more important than corner play for SB winning teams lately. Pass rushers, goes without saying, interior or exterior.

There seems to be an awful lot of focus on points and yards for defense. Allowing that today's league is more suited to high scoring passing attacks, D's that can consistently turn the ball over have a huge role to play. I feel like this is one of the few good news stories of 2020. I mean his recovery, not the injury obviously. -
Smith became a playmaker after they drafted Mahomes. Either he saw the writing on the wall (and it made him $134m), or the way they coached the QBs changed in 2017. Or maybe both. But yeah, they weren't going to keep Smith beyond that year. That whole situation worked out really well for everyone involved, up to the day that Smith got injured.

In general I agree with this, and Ballard's work in the trenches on both sides is better than Polian's (through four years, at least). But Polian was better at WR and edge, and those are specific spots where we need better players/production. Of course, Ballard hasn't spent any first rounders on either position, so that might be the only reason Polian was better at those positions. Would be nice to find a Robert Mathis, though...
