On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation for their weekly chat, examining the significance of Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady properly adapting to their personnel and new top weapon going forward in addition to several Bills and NFL topics.
The Bills offense has been efficient and at times downright successful but it’s not without flaws, particularly in the first of games. The guys talk about the boring and sometimes predictable nature of the Bills play calling being an issue offensively at times and how critical it is for the unit to start being a little more unpredictable if not air-oriented with the arrival of Amari Cooper, who made an instant impact against Tennessee last Sunday.
They also have a belief that the offensive pecking order has become established in the passing game, while Patrick asks Matt for his thoughts on how he’d divide the running back load between James Cook and emerging rookie Ray Davis.
On the other side of the ball there’s cause for concern following injuries on Sunday to both starting linebackers Terrel Bernard and Dorian Williams. Of the two Williams seems like the less significant injury and worries weren’t squashed when Sean McDermott chose to not give any updates on either, particularly Bernard. Matt talks about how the defense is night day with Bernard out there compared to Baylon Spector.
They also take a peak into the Seattle game on Sunday as well as a spin around the AFC and an East division that Bills now have (very) firm control of. That and plenty more.
