Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren of SB Nation and Buffalo Rumblings to examine which Buffalo Bills summer storylines could genuinely carry into the regular season. They discuss T.J. Parker’s encouraging development, concerns surrounding Max Hairston, the strong summers of Dalton Kincaid and Josh Palmer and the rapidly growing chemistry between Josh Allen and DJ Moore. The guys also explain why Allen appears more comfortable and energized under head coach Joe Brady—and why Buffalo’s defense may be further ahead than expected under Jim Leonhard. Plus, Patrick unveils his Bills 53-man roster projection, including several difficult decisions involving Frank Gore Jr., Ian Wheeler, Trent Sherfield, Kanai Walker, Joe Andreessen and Buffalo’s unsettled punter competition. Key Takeaways T.J. Parker has steadily improved and could earn meaningful snaps in Buffalo’s defensive-line rotation. Max Hairston’s difficult summer could lead to a situational rotation at the second boundary-cornerback position. Dalton Kincaid and Josh Palmer have remained healthy, productive and positioned for significant roles in the passing game. Josh Allen and DJ Moore are developing the type of chemistry that could make Moore Buffalo’s clear No. 1 receiver. The Bills’ young defense has performed better than expected while playing mostly vanilla schemes. Injuries to Ty Johnson and others could create late openings on the initial 53-man roster.
