If you hadn’t heard by now, the Buffalo Bills play a whole lot of nickel defense. The emphasis on this philosophy places a tremendous amount of importance on finding enough defensive backs to create a reliable secondary. The recent retirement of Rafael Bush leaves one such roster spot open. The release of the unofficial depth chart prior to the preseason opener against the Indianapolis Colts may suggest Siran Neal has the inside track.
According to the released depth chart, Taron Johnson remains the starter as the slot or nickel corner.
