S4 E6: WR By Committee?
In this episode, Rob & DT are joined by two of Rob's favorite Twitter friends Jake (@Bigballinbills) & Matt (Nyperfox) to discuss everything that was what will be a memorable draft for years to come for a multitude of reasons.Holy crap, did Brandon Beane actually help KC? Will it come back to bite our Bills next year or in the future?Is Joe Brady really about to run the ball more or was late last season just a matter of circumstances? Rob can't decide and asks his guests for help dissecting the new full-time OC.The Bills selected polarizing WR Keon Coleman to begin Rd2 Friday night and it seems no one can agree on his fit in the Bills offense or his potential in general. Either way, he's a Bill now and Rob will fight you over him. LOLThe fellas wrap up the show by giving their thoughts on the rest of the Bills draft picks from Cole Bishop all the way to a massive rubgy player from across the pond.Finally, next week could the '24 NFL schedule may come out and it's got Rob & DT excited for their favorite non-game time of the football calendar!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nickel-city-crew-podcast--5347543/support.

S4 E5: Just Get It Right
In this episode, Rob & Dump Truck preview the 2024 NFL Draft that is now just one week away. The fellas do the very first Nickel City Crew Mock Draft to end the show.The draft truly is a game of craps as even the experts routinely get it wrong. With that said, the Bills really need to nail this draft in what is shaping to be a pivotal year as the roster gets much younger.Brandon Beane said the Bills do not need a true WR1 to be a successful offense. Was he being serious or is that just gamesmanship as the draft approaches?Regardless of which WR prospect you prefer, it seems the draft process has now hit the stage of pointing out all of their flaws. From AD Mitchell all the way to the Xavier WR's, all are being placed under the microscope as we inch closer to next week.Mock Draft time! Rob & DT try their hand at the first ever mock draft on the show and it turns out pretty well. Rob still likes Mitchell despite some of the concerns while DT is leaning towards Legette. The fellas are in lockstep that a trade up is probably not the best idea if the cost gets too high, but they're well aware of who our GM is and his tendency to move up the draft board.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nickel-city-crew-podcast--5347543/support.

Was it Shaq & Kobe 2.0?Was Diggs too intense for his co-workers and bosses?If my boss screws up the biggest business meeting we've ever been part of, can't I be mad at him/her for that? And for how long can I be upset until I become the problem?Is Josh Allen surprised by the level of stardom he has achieved? Is he uncomfortable with the success which always is accompanied by more pressure?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nickel-city-crew-podcast--5347543/support.

S4 E3: Beane Diggs A Hole?!?!?!
In this episode, Rob & DT discuss the unthinkable bomb our Buffalo Bills dropped on us after Brandon Beane traded All-Pro WR Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans yesterday. Rob is pissed and he's looking to point fingers as his grief stages have just begun.What the heck happened? Seriously, what was the issue and why did Beane decide the time was now to pull the plug on one of the most productive WR's the Bills have ever had?Seems like Diggs asked for a trade, but Rob suggests that's exactly part of what a GM's job description is. To manage different people and mend fences when necessary.What will the '24 Bills look like now? Does Brandon Beane have some magic left in the tank to keep this offense potent? He better, because now the Bills have two WR's to find via the draft or free agency. Should trade up to get a potential stud or sit back at 28 and let the draft come to him?What is 17's role in all of this?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nickel-city-crew-podcast--5347543/support.
