Can the Buffalo Bills field a top-five defense?
The question was posed to NFL Network analysts Warren Sapp and Willie McGinest, retired defenders with nine Pro Bowls and four Super Bowl rings between them.
They each declined to put the Bills in such elite class, although McGinest was more diplomatic than Sapp was.
"Wow, that's tough," McGinest said. "I've got my list right here. When I look at the top-five defenses: Pittsburgh, Houston, Baltimore, San Francisco, the Jets surprisingly was in there.
"I think some teams lower down, I think the Philadelphia Eagles will move up. I think the Dallas Cowboys, the Chicago Bears will do a better job.
"I don't think [the Bills] will jump in the top five unless that offense is just on fire."
Before McGinest could finish those last few words, Sapp blurted "No. No is the answer you're looking for."
top five is asking too much. you cant expect new players and a new system to come together that fast
id be thrilled with top ten. hell top half would be a big improvement
