Bills Top Sophomores Spotlighted Early

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, it's a combination of Patrick Moran's biggest takeaways through the first few days of Buffalo Bills training camp as well as a handful of submissions from The Podbag --- listener submitted questions and takes.

The top players from Buffalo's 2024 draft class, Keon Coleman and Cole Bishop have unsurprisingly been in the spotlight. After a pretty rough first day of camp where star cornerback Christian Benford was mostly locking Coleman down, the receiver responded with a standout day two in making multiple catches all over the field with crispier route running and sure hands. It was enough to get the media talking positively about him and Patrick has plenty of reaction. In terms of Bishop, what Patrick expected to be a true battle between he and Damar Hamlin doesn't look it will materialize (good), as Bishop has taken the lion's share of first team reps in both of the Bills practices so far.

Also there was some injury news from day two of camp as two Bills left practice early, including linebacker Dorian Williams with what looks like a calf injury. Patrick discusses that and a few other notable items.

As far as the Podbag, Patrick responds to a question about things that are exciting him the most about Bills camp early on, giving a specific example to refute someone's claim that there's nothing at training camp that matters other than injuries, and discussing if Josh Allen is already the Bills greatest quarterback ever.

Plus, someone compares former Buffalo Sabre JJ Peterka to Myles Garrett (lol).  That plus Hulk Hogan passes away and much more.
