Buffalo Bills Under The Radar X-Factors

Buffalo Bills Under The Radar X-Factors

Author: Blue Wire August 30, 2024 Duration: 38:17

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is discussing what he considers a handful of under the radar X-factors when it comes to the Buffalo Bills as the regular season draws very close.

Josh Allen will always be the singular biggest factor on if the Bills have a good season as long as he's in a Buffalo uniform and other things are obvious as well, but there's some players and scenarios that don't get discussed as much but could end up proving critical to the team's fortunes. Patrick lists and elaborates on some including the new anchor of the Buffalo offensive line playing the way they expect, the probability that unproven depth will have to step up on that line, a smallish kick and punt returner the Bills recently traded for, a young linebacker tasked with trying to adequately replace Matt Milano for the majority if not all the regular season and a pair of wide receivers who may be counted on more than you think, especially if Keon Coleman is a little slow coming out of the gate.

Patrick also has thoughts on a pair of interesting prospects the team just added to the prospects---a former first-round safety in Lewis Cine and a speedster wide receiver formerly of the Denver Broncos in Jalen Virgil. That plus Patrick really likes the Bills practice squad and plenty more.
