Bills prepared to have 'hands full' with Giants WRs this week
Through three games, the Buffalo Bills have dealt with their fair share of solid wide receiver groups. The Colts, Patriots, and Dolphins all have a group of talented receivers, yet the Bills played great against all but one: the Patriots.
On Sunday, the Bills will be faced with their fourth challenge in the New York Giants. Obviously, Odell Beckham Jr. is the top threat, but veteran Victor Cruz is also expected to make his much-awaited return. The duo hasn't had much time on the field together, but they'll do just that on Sunday against the Bills.
"They have Cruz, they have [Reuben] Randle, and they have Odell [Beckham] so, they have some great skill guys that we’ll have to really look at film and come up with a great game plan to slow those guys down,” Bills safety Bacarri Rambo said via WGR550. "Those guys can really change a game at any point."
The Bills are aware that the Giants' wide receivers possess, and it won't be easy to slow them. Beckham Jr., in particular, has turned it on of late. He's racked up 225 receiving yards over the past two games, scoring a touchdown in each.
"Eli [Manning] does a good job of getting the ball to his receivers," defensive tackle Corbin Bryant said. "Victor Cruz is going to be an asset for him. Odell Beckham speaks for itself. Speed, great guy down the middle. So, we’re going to have our hands full this week."
Fortunately, the Bills have two talented corners in Stephon Gilmore and rookie Ronald Darby. Darby leads the NFL in passes defensed, and is the corner expected to be targeted more often by opposing quarterbacks. The Bills surely have their hands full, but they have the personnel to match the Giants.
