Podbag: Is Damar Hamlin Szn coming?

Podbag: Is Damar Hamlin Szn coming?

Author: Blue Wire July 31, 2024 Duration: 49:25

It’s another edition of The Podbag today on Talking Buffalo, the weekly episode where the audience controls the narrative as Patrick Moran responds to several questions and takes from consumers of this show, with plenty of Buffalo Bills camp talk dominating this week.

Mike Edwards going down with a hamstring injury has opened the door for Damar Hamlin or a rookie, Cole Bishop to begin the season as the team's starting free safety. Either would be a great story for different reasons. Patrick answers a few comments directed at both players and feels that with the team signing Kareem Jackson it probably puts to bed the chances of them adding Justin Simmons and/or bringing back Micah Hyde.

Patrick also responds to submissions regarding Kahlil Shakir seeming ready to pop for the offense, Tyrell Shavers indicative of a receiving unit that's poor in depth and what Terry Pegula should or shouldn't be saying.

There's also a few Buffalo Sabres takes on Jeff Skinner on UPL and Jeff Skinner included. That plus from Joe From Queens is a curmudgeon, Patrick "bends over" for hack Buffalo reporters and much more.

Hosted by Buffalo-born Patrick Moran, this Blue Wire podcast dives deep into the heart of the city's teams, with a primary focus on the emotional rollercoasters provided by the Bills and Sabres. Patrick doesn't just report on games; he lives them, offering a perspective that can swing from critical skepticism to full-blown optimism in a single conversation. That authentic, sometimes self-deprecating fan voice is exactly what drives each episode. The show regularly features interviews with guests from across the sports world, media, and even pop culture, providing unique angles and insider insights you won't find elsewhere. It’s this blend of local passion, candid analysis, and diverse conversations that gives the podcast its character.
