EVERYTHING Should Be On Table For Bills Defense

EVERYTHING Should Be On Table For Bills Defense

Author: Blue Wire February 27, 2025 Duration: 47:37

It's another edition of The Podbag today on Talking Buffalo and Patrick Moran is responding to your questions, comments and takes primarily about the Buffalo Bills, including Patrick hammering home that everything should be on the table for the Bills defense, not just a prominent edge rusher.

It's certainly understandable why the Bills adding a game changing type of edge defender is the central point of almost any Bills conversation. Their inability to get after the quarterback has hurt them greatly over the course of several recent playoff elimination losses. Improving there absolutely should and has to be at the forefront for general manager Brandon Beane. However, Patrick outlines why having just one guy isn't enough and the Bills should be targeting at least two prime time level defenders that will cost plenty and explains why everything should be on the table for the unit, including adding a second outstanding corner to pair alongside Christian Benford and/or a top end safety like a Javon Holland.

Also, Khalil Shakir signed a four-year extension with Buffalo this week and Patrick has plenty of thoughts on that. Was he their top priority because he re-signed first? Patrick doesn't think so.

That plus continued talk about the 2024 draft class needing to be better, Dorian Williams being considered a "miss" after his first season, the Buffalo Sabres showing some fight in them and plenty more.

Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red’s at 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium. We consider them THE most underrated spot for wings, pizza and other great food in Western New York plus it’s a great place to drink and have a great time.
