High expectations for Hughes, Addison

Frazier didn’t outright say it, but there’s some expectations that are at least semi-lofty for their defensive end starters in 2020. Those two guys are expected to be Jerry Hughes and Mario Addison.

Frazier discussed that pairing on the edge and complimented their careers to this point, but then said the Bills are hoping for even more than those standards they’ve already set.

“These are two very well established NFL pros, they’ve had terrific careers in our league. We just want them to build on what they’ve accomplished to this point. We’re challenging the guys, all our guys, to make this a career year. If those guys can get back to their previous form coming off of an offseason that was so different than any other we’ve every experienced, that’s going to be good for our defense because they’ve had some big numbers in the course of their careers,” Frazier said. “Looking forward to them being on the field together.”

Hughes personally had the best years of his career when there has been another solid play across from him. If Addison can be that, the Bills will be happy.
