I just hope we get the pleasure of watching Bernard and Milano together for a full season. IMO their injuries derailed our season more than anything else.
This, this, this!!!! It was a thing of beauty before Milano got hurt.
I was so impressed with Bernard last season, straight damn dawg! Huge draft pick and development piece for the Bills
You hit the nail on the head sir
I agree!! On all of the sports talk shows, all we heard was how the Bills can’t beat KC- not having Terrel Bernard for me was the gut punch prior to the game even starting. Also Bass being so uncharacteristically unreliable - it was strange.
Bernard and Milano are just so smart. They have great eyes and always seem to be putting pressure no matter what the play design is
Seriously our whole defense crippled towards the end of the season, but the beginning we looked elite!
Thank you Joe for taking the Drama out of these podcast. I know i am not waisting my time on a dramatic barf that sums up the majority of Bills Podcasts.
I see a team..reborn...younger .bigger..faster ..with JOSH Allen .as the clear leader ..now. With no poison ..in the locker room
Thank you diggs was a cancer
September can not come fast enough, the bills run through my veins and i will ride or die with this team forever.....GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!
I'm running out of summers so I can wait. Just want 1 championship before I go.
The bills have found a way to get cheaper, younger, healthier/hungrier. Remove a cancer in the locker room. And still have strengths all over the field. With keeping decent depth. Never doubt beane.
Josh Allen now has multiple weapons for teams to have to have to worry about instead of being too diggs dependent.
Coleman, Samuel, Shakir, Kincaid, Knox, cook, Davis, hollins, shorter and Isabella. That’s a solid combination of big tall targets as well as tons of speed and possession type guys
Joe, love the show! I look forward to it every day and I espcially appreciate how you keep us grounded and look at every situation from all angles. I also wanted to make sure you were aware that the Bills will finally win it all this year! GO BILLS!
I just want solid D play in the playoffs. Can we get some 3 and outs vs Cincy & KC when it matters???
I like the defensive picks and additions a lot more than offense this year. I think our defense is going to be flying for next few years
Man I was actually proud of the defense this last year for how many injuries we had.
Thank you, Joe
What I like about this team is the commitment to make things easier with more diverse options for Josh on offense and leaning in on youth and speed on defense. This is the year Joe Brady puts is fingerprints on the offense full time. Bobby Babich on defense. Will there be bumos and miscues? Yes. I still think 2024 will be a transition year and nothing is promised. I am hopeful the additions of Samuel, Davis and Coleman lead to more optionality over Diggs, Davis and Murray/Johnson.
We should wait to see what the injury impacts are. I think Beane is trying to make a run at a top receiver free agent next season considering the moves made this year.
Keeping cap space that rolls over to next season fits into that strategy.
This defense is Hell on my Sims... Douglas, Bernard, Groot... Edwards is Johnny on the Spot. I want Baylor at MLB
Solomon reminds me of Elvis Dumerville.
This season is going to be an interesting one, go bills 🤞🤞
I love you and your show hope the baby is well and
Our defensive injuries last year were mostly self inflicted. Weird but several out of control tackles cost multiple injuries.
Not sure why we never gave poona ford a real chance I thought he looked good when he did play. But really happy with this draft its really growing on me, depth in many position groups. I think we make a trade in season to fill a whole whether that WR or CB or even DE (unfortuntaly i think von miller is finito....). Love your stuff
I like the idea of younger and faster. Remembering the first half of the Super Bowl last year, the Niners defense was flying all over and had KC completely confused until they lost one of their LBs to a freak turf injury. And the Bills were a better defense than the Niners last year, with the exception of Bosa.
Joe, when selecting Coleman at 33 we saved money (cap hit) but lost the 5th year option. You comment of “if you don’t know if you want to keep the player going into the fifth year there’s something wrong”. Are these defensive players we have (91) are (50) picking up fifth year options a different scenario to the offensive side of the ball or is it simply needs must?
Can't help but feel the need to get more athletic playing Miami twice a year, after having a secondary that felt half a step behind last year.
GO BILLS
Hey joe i know myles garrett works with bruce smith like a mentor student relationship is that not a call someone can make. Working with those two guys would be invaluable in my opinion. In regards to rousseau’s devolopment.
Best discussion was opening up the offense to any and all players (receivers)… rather than feeding Diggs… I did feel that was the case …
But
Is Allen capable enough to be able to find the open one …
That will be a new wrinkle in his game, that needs to be played out … it can prove his true talent, or show he’s not elite in that respect, thus resulting in never being a GOAT…or Super Bowl champ…. I have and still am questioning his smarts… I guess I will get my answer…. Very optimistic and loved the draft picks… and the wide range of personel chnages
This team would have a Super Bowl if it wasn’t for injuries. Ik this goes for a lot of teams but I swear we are always the most banged up team when it comes to playoffs every year. Praying for a healthy team this year hopefully the new youth helps lol
Probably not.. Coaching & WR core were never good enough
So true.
@@jcZo23except that if you look at the KC divisional game, if even Gabe were healthy, they win that game by 7-10 points.
I have a feeling about this year a good feeling that Will break mc, hormone in half and get to the big game
What about Jerry Hughes Joe? He was 6'2" 254lbs vs Javon Soloman at 6'1" 246lbs.
Dude is a James Houston clone
Good Morning Joe I feel the Bills defensive line to to small as you look at the size offensive lineman the Bengals and chiefs that manhandle the Bills defensive line. Bills need to get bigger and tougher on the defensive line. I am looking forward to Greg to unlock and unleash his talent that will be fun to watch. Thank you Joe
Bigger in what way exactly? Daquan and Austin Johnson are both big 1 tech DTs. Groot and Epenesa are both bigger DEs.
Epenesa is not a force ngl
We always been big at the line. Even our pass rushers. That’s the pobl m. We need fast pass rushers. We have none.
@@havanascp9602 Okay I appreciate that. I am looking forward to see what the DL Line coach does.
@@havanascp9602 need a mix of both, which they should have with the addition of Solomon in the draft and hopefully Von being healthy and back to at least an above average sort of contributor. On paper those two should pair well with AJ and Groot. Then you have Oliver and Carter to pair with Daquan and Austin Johnson who are both big and strong run stuffers. I like the mix if they stay healthy.
We need to add depth at 1 tech and we need one more corner. Depth is fine for now but we need to look for starters at those positions soon.
Bills have two one techs. Austin Johnson and Daquan jones First time in a while. Will need to draft one next year
@sweetspike Johnson is 30 and on a 1 year deal. Jones is 32 on a 2 year deal. I would like to bring in some youth for a longer term solution at some point soon
@@kentcarmack5879 as I said draft one next year. Keep or grab a pen og. Voila
@@kentcarmack5879 We'll draft one next year
@@kentcarmack5879that position typically ages well though, since they're not expected to get after the QB with regularity. They can draft one in the mid rounds next year and be fine.
THEY should pickup bella check as a hm that man is a genius
We always go for big de. But at the end of the day we have sucked vs the run. Hile they are nowhere to be found when is passing downs. Th coach needs to change or we gonna keep sucking at the line. As usual specially in the playoffs.
You must have gotten your wish cause nearly the entire defensive staff was changed including the line coach
👀
i still want j simmons
God awful pass rush we gonn have. Unless that rookie is amazing , plus a total new secondary. Yikes. The lb are the only trusted ones.
They were top 5 last year in every rush category with Von contributing nothing. AJ and Groot both dealt with injuries too. Floyd was good, but he had like 1.5 of his 10 sacks in the final half of the season. Hopefully just getting younger there will make for fresher legs come playoff time. Von just needs to get back to the 8+ sack threshold to be useful. It's in no way a doomy projection like you're making it out to be.
Out of all the errors to be concerned about on the defense, I personally don’t believe that is likely at all.
I’m actually optimistic about the defense. Like Joe said, they are younger and faster. They also may have a little money to spend after June 1st and I wouldn’t be surprised if they add another pass rusher.
So Rasual Douglas ain’t proven? Ed Oliver ain’t??? Daquan Jones????? Groot?
That rookie won't matter, the way they rotate none of em really matter, they showed that against KC last year yet again, fully healthy & did nothing, 3 playoff games against KC & have never touched Mahomes.. They're infatuated with Defense, 7 yrs it took them just to build a mid OL & Run game, going on 8 years & zero 1st rd talent drafted at WR or OL for Allen.. they draft conservative "character process" crap over actual talent.. its why they don't win 💩 along woth subpar coaching.. Gonna be many better WRs from this draft than Keon Coleman & everyone who past on Mitchell is gonna regret it.. far better than Coleman, McConkey & Lagette will be too, Reid & Mahomes will have made Worthy an all pro within 3 years..
Trade von Miller and 2pac shakir for tramaine Edmonds.
