Defensive line: Not much has been written about the players vying for playing time behind the Bills' Pro Bowl defensive tackles, mostly because the Bills have been working in a '46' alignment as their base defense. In that look, per Capaccio, there are only two defensive tackles on the field. A pass rusher will put his hand in the dirt and line up inside the tackle, and
Manny Lawson plays behind him as the strong-side linebacker. In effect, then, that pass rusher sliding inside is the guy that is preventing players like
Alex Carrington, Jarius Wynn,
Stefan Charles,
Corbin Bryant, and
Andre Fluellen from perhaps seizing more than just a depth role.
