Shout! A football podcast on the Buffalo Bills with Matt Parrino and Ryan Talbot

After decades of waiting, Brad Riter returns to the airwaves in Western New York next week. He stopped by SHOUT first to chop it up with Matt Parrino. From their early days recording UB basketball games on a four-mixer setup to the massive news of the Brad Riter & Tim Graham show taking over WGR afternoons, the guys cover it all.

But it’s not just a trip down memory lane. Matt and Brad dive into the fallout of the Sean McDermott firing. Was it a shock? Or was it the "vibe tweak" this roster desperately needed? They discuss the rise of Joe Brady, the "sorcery" behind his connection with elite WRs like Justin Jefferson, and much more.

Topics covered:

0:00 - The return of Brad Riter to Buffalo airwaves!

10:45 - Sabres Talk: Lindy Ruff, 13-year playoff droughts, and "Buffalo Dad" life.

18:20 - Sean McDermott vs. John Harbaugh: Why 13 Seconds changed everything.

28:15 - Joe Brady’s "Sorcery": Why Justin Jefferson is his biggest fan.

40:00 - The Brandon Beane Era: How long is the leash from Terry Pegula?

The 2025 season is officially in the books, and as the dust settles on the Super Bowl, the Buffalo Bills face a massive identity crisis. Matt Parrino is joined by NFL Draft expert Chris Trapasso to break down why the Patriots’ offensive collapse serves as a warning for Buffalo and how the Seattle Seahawks just provided the perfect blueprint for the Jim Leonhard era.

The guys dive deep into the biggest question of the offseason: Does Ed Oliver actually fit in a 3-4 defense? With no guaranteed money left on his deal, Brandon Beane and Jim Leonhard have a franchise-altering decision to make. Plus, a preliminary look at the 2026 WR class and why the Bills might need a "triple-down" approach at receiver.

In this episode:

0:00 - Super Bowl 60 Recap: Patriots lay an egg.

8:45 - The Drake May & Will Campbell struggle: Draft lessons learned.

15:30 - The Ed Oliver Dilemma: Does he fit Jim Leonhard’s 3-4 scheme?

22:15 - Building the "Seattle Blueprint" in Buffalo.

30:00 - WR Preview: Carnell Tate, Makai Lemon, and the search for separators.

45:00 - Free Agency targets: Why Brandon Cooks or Christian Kirk make sense.
