Buffalo Bills Podcast

Sal and Leo discuss the Bills opening day game at New England against the Patriots and the team's prospects for the upcoming season.

With the Bills breaking camp in Rochester on Thursday, our resident podmen say goodbye to St. John Fisher College. Hear what Leo and Sal have to say about Dick Jauron's coaching style, J.P. Losman's personal makeover, and whether continuity on the offensive line matters if the talent is mediocre. And by the way, who shrunk the defensive line?

Sal and Leo chat live from Bills Training Camp about the overall issues with defense and quarterbacks.

Dick Jauron says J.P. Losman can wrap up the starting QB job with a good showing against the Bengals Friday. Is he jumping the gun? Is Craig Nall getting a raw deal? Our podcasters, Leo Roth and Sal Maiorana, tackle the most pressing issue of camp as the Bills get set for the second preseason game. Also on today's agenda: the defensive line is shaping up nicely, Donte Whitner gets thrown into the fire with Matt Bowen's injury (a good thing) and owner Ralph Wilson can rest easy with a bad back knowing good pal Marv Levy is running the show in Rochester.

Sal and Leo discussed Dick Jauron's seemingly quick decision to annoint J.P. Losman as the frontrunner for the starting quarterback job, as well as the Bills' performance Saturday night in their preseason loss to Carolina.

Leo Roth, sits down with guest John Wawrow, who covers the Bills and Sabres for The Associated Press. Leo and John discuss coach Dick Jauron's decision to start Kelly Holcomb over J.P. Losman in Saturday's preseason opener at Carolina. What should be read into the move? They also run down other position battles. Can Lionel Gates nail down the No. 2 running back job? Will Peerless Price start over Josh Reed alongside Lee Evans at wide receiver? What can fans expect to see out of top pick Donte Whitner, who has had just five days to get ready for his NFL debut? Tune in now!

Leo Roth and Scott Pitoniak discuss the selection of Roger Goodell as the NFL's new commish in our latest Bills podcast. Goodell is a Western New York native but does that ensure the long-term future of the cash-challenged Bills in a small market? Meanwhile, who should start at quarterback in Saturday's preseason kickoff against the Carolina Panthers, J.P. Losman or Kelly Holcomb? Our writers disagree. And what were the coaches thinking when they cut loose Jeff Posey? With Takeo Spikes coming off Achilles surgery, is depth at linebacker really that strong that the team could afford the move?

Sal Maiorana and Clark Judge, the national NFL writer for CBS Sportsline, discussed the uphill climb the Bills will face as they try to compete against New England and Miami in the AFC East. They also talked about new head coach Dick Jauron's ability to turn the Bills around, the quarterback situation, and the defense that needs to play well enough to keep the Bills competitive in games while the offense tries to sort itself out.

Sal and Leo chat live from Bills Training Camp about the issues with top draft pick Donte Whitner, quarterbacks and overall training camp situations.

Leo chats live from Bills training camp with columnist Scott Pitoniak about the injury to Craig Nall, which has eliminated him from the quarterback competition for the moment, and about the more congenial atmosphere surrounding training camp this year under Coach Dick Jauron.

Leo chats live from Bills training camp with USA Today's NFL writer, Tom Pedulla, about the national interest created by Marv Levy's return to the Bills and how the Bills QB competition compares to the New York Jets situation, where four players are vying for the job.

Sal and Leo chat live from Bills training camp. After a soggy first practice on opening day, questions arise about who will be the starting quarterback and how soon Takeo Spikes will be game-ready.

Sal and Leo break down the Bills draft picks and discuss the way Buffalo is rebuilding the defense through the draft much as Coach Dick Jauron did in Chicago.

Leo and Sal offer their takes on the Bills draft this weekend in our latest Bills Podcast. Buffalo needs help for both lines, along with help for the secondary and linebacking corps. With the No. 8 pick, where do they go? If Vince Young falls into his lap, does Marv Levy take him? Our intrepid podcasters say ex-GM Tom Donahoe would, but going for the big splash each draft day is exactly what got him in trouble.

Sal and Leo discuss the Bills announcement that Dick Jauron will become the team's head coach. Was this a good idea? Sal and Leo have their opinion, of course.
