Live from the Big Tree! An OTA look into Joe Brady's new world...

Josh Allen’s arm remains Henry Rowengartner strong.

DJ Moore’s route running has been silky smooth in this setting.

All of those new defensive pieces are starting to piece together in Jim Leonhard’s defense.

OTAs have commenced across the country with minicamps ‘round the bend and training camps closer than you think. I spent some time this week at One Bills Drive for big stuff you’ll see roll out in the future. Until then, here’s a pod. I joined Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News at the Big Tree Inn, a Hail Mary toss from the new stadium, for an episode of the Go Long Pod.

Always enjoy talking shop with Jay, and he recently penned a feature on Davison Igbinosun worth your time.

We hit on a bunch of topics…

* Joe Brady is the man in charge now. X’s and O’s will matter. But it’s clear the new boss bounding drill to drill is trying to infuse the Bills with a new energy.

* Allen’s arm looks spry as ever. Nobody should take this quarterback for granted. (A certain “hospitality tent” throw comes to mind.)

* Brady wants these Bills to ATTACK. “They’ve got to play us” is a theme. How can the Bills drill this theme home in the spring?

* Brady also told Go Long that Pete Carmichael was his most important hire. Why? The new OC met with the media on Tuesday.

* Who’s a player on offense that could surprise in 2026? We each offer a submission. (Hint: One uses blunt language.)

* Why Ed Oliver’s play style could fit Leonhard’s expected chaos.

* Cornerback was always a major need and GM Brandon Beane explained why in our 1 on 1. We discuss the team’s most polarizing draft pick: Ohio State’s “IGB.”

You can catch the video and audio of our conversation above.

Be on the lookout for more coverage this coming Friday.

Thanks, all.
