Connor Fulton: Certainly, the Bills’ defensive front is worthy of respect. They are hot off a Week 3 performance in which they got to Carson Palmer on five occasions. However, the Patriots’ offensive line has showed us that they are fully up to the job of holding their own against these elite defensive linemen. More than anything, it is the magic touch of Dante Scarnecchia that has been the difference, and this writer expects that to continue in Week 4. Additionally, nifty play calling by Josh McDaniels, contouring to the strengths of whoever is playing quarterback, will slow the pass rush.

Now, let’s shift our focus 180 degrees. Hal, name a front seven player you are looking at to step up and help stuff LeSean McCoy, who broke loose for 110 yards against a stiff Arizona front seven last week.
