Some Bills Players With Plenty To Prove

Some Bills Players With Plenty To Prove

Author: Blue Wire May 28, 2024 Duration: 1:06:38

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by friend and recurring guest Anthony Marino to discuss several topics, including a handful of Buffalo Bills players that the guys think have the most to prove in this 2024 season.

Despite the huge personnel turnover there's plenty of reason to be excited once again about the Bills this season. That said, it'd be naive to think this roster doesn't have it's fair share of question marks as well as some players being doubted that got plenty to prove. Among them discussed by Patrick and Anthony is Von Miller, who needs to prove if he has any chance of staying with the Bills beyond 2024 that he's not washed up and over the hill at 35 years old. Also, Taylor Rapp needs to prove that he's the player we saw at the end of last season, particularly in Miami if he's going to hold off second-round pick Cole Bishop and the starting strong safety job for a sustained among of time. Meanwhile, Kaiir Elam is highly unlikely to be a starter but will surely get an opportunity at some point--he needs to prove he's not officially a first-round bust.

Also, Connor McGovern needs to prove he's capable of successfully moving over from guard to center if h doesn't want a fifth-round rookie center staring over his shoulder and despite being fourth in the NFL in rushing and seventh in the league in total yards from scrimmage last year, James Cook needs to prove he can be trusted to hold on to the football in the passing game and keep the reps Ty Johnson and fourth-round rookie Ray Davis could end up taking from him.

That plus the guys talk a little Matt Milano concern, what sport they'd pick to be a star athlete in if they had their choice, the weekly "Finish the Sentence" segment and much more. Be sure to follow Anthony on Twitter @AnthMarino
