It’s another edition of The Podbag today on Talking Buffalo, the episode where the audience controls the narrative and topics. Patrick Moran's responding to several takes and questions, including James Cook looking like he's taking another step towards truly becoming a star player for the Buffalo Bills through their first two games.The statistics don't blow you away even with his three touchdown performance in Miami, but Cook's running style and ability (so far) to be a reliable pass catcher out of the backfield if giving off some serious Le'Veon Bell vibes. Bell was once widely regarded as the best running back in football from 2014-17 with his distinct running style and all-around ability. Patrick talks about what's looked different this year than last from Cook, even with Cook having an impressive statistical 2023 campaign.Patrick also responds to questions about takes regarding where the Bills look to be stacking up right now compared to the rest of the league based on a small sample size, what his confidence level is in Braylon Spector replacing Terrell Bernard for the time being, how he's feeling going into the Week three matchup against Jacksonville and being unafraid to admit when he's dead wrong about predictions.There's also a few Sabres topics revolving around training camp opening this week, including being asked what he thinks the chances are Sabres first-round draft pick Konstas Helenius makes the team out of camp in addition the effect he expects Lindy Ruff to have on the team and much more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.
