Summary

Buffalo Bills fans wonder: will the Denver Broncos replace the Carolina Panthers as the franchise’s new pipeline? Joe Marino and Jerry Ostroski weigh the impact of Jim Leonhard’s arrival and Pete Carmichael’s connection, scrutinizing why familiar Denver names haven’t made their way to Buffalo—yet. The debate examines Brandon Beane’s roster strategy, cap space limitations, and how trust between coaches and players shapes locker room dynamics. Listeners get an insider’s perspective on NFL relationships and how past decisions still influence present depth. Will Joe Brady's playcalling become more creative now that he's the Bills' offensive coordinator—with Sean McDermott out of the mix? The hosts assess potential shifts in offense, including the run-pass ratio, DJ Moore’s expanded role after joining from Chicago, and whether Dalton Kincaid and Khalil Shakir will cement themselves as top targets. Is Buffalo ready to open up a more dynamic attack or remain true to its run-heavy roots?

What's up, Bill's Mafia? It's Joe Marino. That's Jerry Ostrowski. On today's episode,

0:28.6

we are going to explore a couple of listeners submitted questions, one regarding Joe Brady,

0:34.9

and if that play calling will be too cute with Sean McDermott out of the

0:39.5

equation. But we start with this question from John who says, we all remember the Panthers

0:45.1

Bill's connection through Bean, McDermott, and all the moves they made to connect the two

0:49.9

franchises. I'm wondering if the Broncos will be the new pipeline with the bills, the

0:55.2

Peyton connection for offense and the Jim Leonard connection on defense. There's also the

0:59.6

Davis Webb connection. Might be better to have a pipeline with a successful organization,

1:04.7

but they are in the AFC, so there can't be any real collaboration. What are your thoughts on this?

1:10.5

Jerry, welcome in.

1:12.4

Is this going to be a thing? Denver players come into Buffalo?

1:16.9

They had an opportunity to sign a bunch of them this off season so far, and they haven't done it,

1:20.7

right? PJ Locke and Franklin and whoever else was in Denver that had hit free agency

1:26.9

and the bills had the opportunity

1:28.3

and Jim Leonard had the opportunity to bring him in and we have not.

1:31.4

Really the only connection to Sean Payton that we brought on to the team would have been

1:36.3

CJ Garner Johnson with his Saints ties to, obviously we got a coach on the coaching staff

1:43.0

that was on that team as a player with him and then you've got the, you got Carmichael, the OC. So more of a Saints connection right now than a Broncos connection. Yeah, it's really fascinating. Obviously, the bills did try to sign Adam Prentice, who's a fullback that was, of course, with the Saints and Broncos. But, you know, it really hasn't started, right?

2:02.0

I mean, there's obviously the coaching piece with Pete Carmichael and Jim Leonard coming
