The Bills are a mere couple of hours away from facing their first NFC opponent of the 2020 season, the Los Angeles Rams. It’s not a team Buffalo is known for facing, so perhaps you’re a little behind on your Rams knowledge. That’s fair.

In order to truly get some insight on all-things Rams related, Bills Wire linked up with our friend Cam DaSilva, managing editor of Rams Wire, to pick his brain ahead of Sunday’s Week 3 Bills-Rams meeting. Intel from behind enemy lines right here:

Entering 2020, Tyler Higbee was one of the most slept on tight ends in the NFL… exactly how good is he? The Bills might be without their best coverage linebacker Matt Milano in this one.

CD: He’s really developed into a well-rounded tight end in the NFL. His route running has improved in the last year or so, as have his hands – which were a trouble spot for him previously. Some of his production comes from Sean McVay’s play calling, which gets him open on drags, checkdowns and simple out routes, but Higbee is a big possession receiver who can also attack the seams.

What’s your general thoughts on the extension for Robert Woods? Deserving? He never really took off in Buffalo, but he always was liked by Bills Mafia.

CD: Definitely deserving. He was one of the most underrated and underpaid receivers in the league before signing this extension, and had he not gotten hurt in 2017, he’d like be coming off three straight 1,000-yard seasons. He’s as reliable and consistent as they come, almost always proving to be good for five catches and 70 yards each week. He doesn’t get enough credit for being such a good blocker, either, which is a strength of his game – as I’m sure you know.

A bit better from Jared Goff this season? What’s different?

CD: He’s taking what the defense gives him and getting more time in the pocket. McVay is scheming receivers wide open for Goff, but it’s important that he’s taking those throws rather than trying to force passes into tight windows. It helps that he’s been given a heavy dose of play action, which was his bread and butter in 2017 and 2018. The biggest thing is that he’s getting good protection from his linemen, which has allowed him to see the field much better.

I’d be foolish not to ask about Aaron Donald. especially since the Bills’ interior O-line isn’t the best. As someone who watches him weekly, what will stand out about him?

CD: His quickness. A man that size should not be able to move as quickly as he can. Oh, and it helps that he can toss aside 300-pound linemen like they’re the size of you and I.

He just does everything well. He can turn speed to power, he can bull rush right off the snap, he can use his hands to knock a blocker away, and he can win from anywhere on the line. There’s not an offensive lineman in the league that will win a majority of one-on-one matchups with Donald.

What’s your prediction for this one? Who wins and why?

CD: I think the Rams are going to win a close one. Hopefully it doesn’t come down to special teams because they’ve been bad in that area through two weeks, but I just think their offense is in such a rhythm right now that it might be hard for the Bills to stop them completely. This will also be the Rams’ toughest test, going up against the Bills’ defense, but McVay is outstanding at game planning and should be able to exploit any weaknesses in Buffalo’s defense. I’ll take the Rams, 26-24.
