A variety of Buffalo Bills players and coaches met with the media on Wednesday ahead of the team's Week 1 bout against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Highmark Stadium.
One of the Bills' personnel members who spoke with the media was defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier.
Frazier talked about some of the young stars on the Bills defense, and how they've been progressing in the lead up to Week 1. Frazier talked about defensive lineman Ed Oliver, Greg Rosseau and A.J. Epenesa among others. Frazier said he's seen some noticeable improvement specifically in Oliver's play.
"[Oliver] has definitely matured as player," Frazier explained. "You can see his growth. We're all watching his maturation, it's been a process and it's been really good. You can see him really ascending as a player. Having an offseason has been really good for Ed. ... Yes, we've seen tremendous growth throughout the entire offseason. He's had a good training camp, a good preseason, I expect to have a really good season as well."
Speaking on their Week 1 matchup, Frazier said the Bills defense has zeroed in on how they want to attack Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and the rest of the Steelers offense on Sunday.
"We have a pretty good idea going into this first game of how we want to do things," he said. "Mix it up as the game goes and get a better feel for how this opponent is approaching things. We have a pretty good idea of how we want to approach it. It'll be changing as the season goes on."
