What's important for the bills to keep in mind as they rebuild their pass rush?

What's up, Bill's Mafia? It's Joe Marino. That's Jerry Ostrowski on today's episode.

We're going to dive into a couple of really fun topics. We'll later on get to what the difference

is between offensive line and defensive line and what would

speed and bendy style guys. Does that mean we need to get some speed and bendy guys to round
