What is Sal Capaccio's perspective on the DJ Moore trade?
29 years old right he's still in his 20s on top of that he's got uh you know he's had a relationship with joe brady he's had over a thousand yards with him uh he's had over 90 catches three times uh in his career so i love it um yeah i mean for that perspective i mean they're getting a good player and look what happened in the playoffs last year that big time catch he made right against the packers was it in overtime or at the end of the year
That is the voice of our next guest, Sal Capaccio. He joins us here on Rahimi Harris and Grody, not only on our hotline, but he is also on Twitch. Twitch.tv slash The Score Chicago. Sal's podcast is called It's Always Game Day in Buffalo. And there seems to be a lot of news as well. Sal, thank you for joining us.
Always love being on the Twitch and loving on The Score. Thanks, guys. Appreciate you.
Sal is also our Bills reporter for our Odyssey sister station, WGR 550. So to start, I mentioned this earlier to our co-host Mark Brody, Sal. How much do you think just the emotional loss that the Bills suffered to the Broncos motivated them to make a change and try to add to the team the way they did that ultimately resulted in the DJ Moore deal?
I don't know about the specific personnel and how much that loss impacted. I think the overall season and not having enough at wide receiver was more about it.
How did the Bills' emotional loss to the Broncos influence their decisions?
I mean, they still did score over 30 points in that game. I do think, though, the emotion of the loss did lead to the changes of Sean McDermott, obviously no longer being the head coach. And now Joe Brady comes in and even, you know, owner Terry Pagula said that he said that when he walked in the locker room and he saw the emotion and. it was the most emotional locker room I've ever been in as well, that they felt they hit the proverbial playoff wall and something needed to change. So it was really more about getting a new voice in and thinking you've gone as far as you can with Sean McDermott and maybe taking a fresh approach. But as far as this personnel decision and trading for DJ Moore, I think that's just more about the fact that their wide receivers just did not, you know, have the kind of season that they thought they would have from that group last year, especially considering a key on Coleman who didn't step up in his second year.
Sal, what did you think of the move, getting D.J. Moore, giving up a second-round pick? What did you think? What's your opinion on it, and how is it being taken in in Buffalo?
So I really like the player. I've always liked the player. I think DJ Moore is a really good football player. He offers something that bills desperately need a vertical threat. You know, there's not many guys in the league of some of the numbers analytically down the field that DJ Moore has, the bills have desperately needed that.
What are Sal's thoughts on DJ Moore's impact on the Bills' offense?
He kind of becomes their number one receiver right away to my point earlier. I mean, he'll kind of overtake that spot from, you know, where Khalil Shakir has been basically was a nice solid player. Um, I don't love the compensation. I do think it's quite a bit. It seems a bit heavy for me to trade a second-round pick. But as I reminded listeners today, I have to also keep in the same space, which is the Bills aren't a team that's got a rookie quarterback or a second-year quarterback that they're trying to build here. They're trying to win now. They're trying to win a Super Bowl now. And a second-round pick, you don't know what... Could become of that. It could be great or it could be taking a while. They're not in the mood to take to take a while anymore.
They're trying to win. So that's the price that you do to have to pay to get a proven commodity in here, you know, to help the passing game of Josh Allen.
How is DJ Moore perceived by the fans and media in Buffalo?
Then that's what you do.
Yeah, Sal, I think that that's a lot of what I saw. Just the fan reaction and commentary in Buffalo was that a lot of people thought it was an overpay, especially when you consider how much of the bill's backing up DJ Moore's salary for years. You know, this is a multi-year commitment for them.
