The Rex Ryan Comparison: How Jim Leonhard's Bills D-Line Mirrors the 2006 Ravens

Charles McDonald (formerly of Yahoo NFL & Football 301) joins Matt Parrino and breaks down why the Bills' defensive line overhaul could be the key to unlocking Ed Oliver's best season yet.

McDonald ties together the additions of TJ Parker, Bradley Chubb, and sleeper favorite Zane Durant, then draws a striking comparison to Rex Ryan's 2006 Ravens defense — explaining how bigger, more physical pieces up front could finally free Oliver to dominate one-on-one matchups.

The guys also discuss the offense and pinpoint a breakout candidate or two in the latest episode of SHOUT!
