April 27, 2021 21:38 - 1 hour - 59.3 MBDoug Whaley experienced just about everything in Buffalo and got into just about everything on our weekly Go Long Zoom Happy Hour with subscribers. I figured I'd share another sneak peek here for anyone out there thinking about becoming a subscriber to the Go Long newsletter at GoLongTD.com. Each week, we have someone in the NFL on to chat with members and answer anything on your mind. The goal, always, is to tear down that wall between the league and fans as much as possible.

Jamey Chadwell is building a powerhouse at Coastal Carolina
April 21, 2021 17:38 - 25 minutes - 24 MBCollege football is a monopoly... but that doesn't mean there isn't a path to success. Down in Myrtle Beach, S.C., Jamey Chadwell found a recipe in turning the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers into a budding powerhouse. Be sure to read our full story at GoLongTD.com right here, but we figured we'd also share part of that conversation with Chadwell here in the podcast. It's remarkable how far the program has come in such a short amount of time. Chadwell provides a rare peak behind the curtain o...
Kene Nwangwu is the steal of the draft
April 16, 2021 17:15 - 36 minutes - 33.3 MBLooking for the sleeper of the 2021 NFL draft? It's right here: Iowa State running back Kene Nwangwu. He tore his Achilles. He never was a featured back in college. But Nwangwu is faster than any other back in this draft after that 4.28 at his pro day. In addition to our story posted at Go Long, I figured I'd share the conversation we had here in the podcast to give you a sense of what's happening over at GoLongTD.com. He's a smart guy, too, as the Big 12 Scholar Athlete of the Year. If you ...
Jaret Patterson plans to dominate
April 14, 2021 16:59 - 31 minutes - 29.2 MBAll he's done is prove people wrong his entire life. And even after dominating college football at UB - leading the nation in yards per game last season - Jaret Patterson sure isn't being hyped to a Najee Harris- or Travis Etienne-level. In this conversation with Go Long, he explains why he absolutely is every bit as good. Patterson also gets into idolizing Barry Sanders, how everything clicked at UB and why being 5-foot-6 has its advantages. Subscribe to Go Long today for more draft profiles...
Longtime NFC exec Marc Ross on McNabb, Ralph Wilson and... benching Eli
April 14, 2021 02:08 - 1 hour - 64.5 MBThere are so many talking heads this time of year but few know what they're really talking about. We spend an hour-plus for this ep talking with someone who is in the know. NFL Network's Marc Ross spent time in the front offices of Philly, Buffalo and the New York Giants and shares many, many stories from behind the scenes: What was it like in the Eagles draft room up to the Eagles choosing Donovan McNabb over Ricky Williams? Did Ralph Wilson really demand the Bills draft a certain running...

The 2021 QB Draft Class
April 07, 2021 12:40 - 59 minutes - 55 MBThe NFL quarterback picture is clearing up. With two massive trades, several teams now have charted their path at the position. The stakes could not be higher. So what do we make out of Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Justin Fields, Trey Lance and Mac Jones? What are their strengths and weaknesses? We get into it all with Jim Monos who has been watching all of the above a ton this last month. You'll appreciate his fresh perspective. Thanks for listening everyone. Learn more about your ad cho...
Josh Imatorbhebhe and the animal within
March 25, 2021 00:41 - 33 minutes - 23.5 MBHe's ripped, he jumped higher than any prospect before, he can take over on the field, too. Josh Imatorbhebhe just may be the next DK Metcalf.

Part 2: Chris Manhertz is a football miracle
March 24, 2021 14:42 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MBYou just don't hear stories like this one. Chris Manhertz played Division I basketball at Canisius in Buffalo, NY but never a lick of football until connecting with our own, Jim Monos. One workout in Williamsville, NY led to a opportunity with the Bills and the rest is history. From New Orleans to Carolina to, now, the Jacksonville Jaguars, Manhertz has stayed in the NFL for nearly a decade... despite never playing one down before the pros. How? He chats with the guys about it all. Manhertz ...
Part 1: Mock drafts and 40s and the glorious guesswork of the NFL Draft
March 24, 2021 14:35 - 43 minutes - 40 MBHow does anyone know who will draft who? Better yet, how does anyone know who projects as a real NFL talent? In Part 1 of this week's podcast, we have a little fun. Jim Monos, a NFL lifer himself, is blown away at what pre-draft hype has become nationwide. We explore the hits, the misses, the seven-round mocks and how in the hell you make sense of anything right now. We also preview our conversation with former Canisius basketball player-turned-NFL tight end, Chris Manhertz. Subscribe to the...
Good teams stay good, Bad teams stay bad
March 19, 2021 21:00 - 1 hour - 62.4 MBWhew. Get all that? What a wild, wild week of free agency in the NFL. The Buffalo Bills seem to have accomplished exactly what they wanted to do, in finding a new backup quarterback and keeping talent in-house. Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Raiders and Chicago Bears remain franchises wandering in no man's land. Jim Monos relives his favorite and not-so-favorite free agency memories, including a play-by-play account of the day the Bills traded for LeSean McCoy on the owner's yacht. Which big-money ...
The '17 class and why these aren't the same old Bills
March 15, 2021 00:04 - 1 hour - 58.4 MBOK, so the Bills missed on Patrick Mahomes. Maybe you heard about it. But, hey, that 2017 draft wasn't all that bad. Tre'Davious White, Dion Dawkins and, now, Matt Milano are all locked in for the long term. So for this week's episode, former Bills director of personnel Jim Monos takes listeners through each selection with some stories you certainly haven't heard before. For starters, yes, Zay Jones could've been the team's first-round pick instead of White. Locking up their own core players ...
Combine Confidential: What really happens in Indy
March 01, 2021 18:37 - 1 hour - 68.5 MBNobody cares about 40s and the bench press. No, we miss the Combine for other reasons. The NFL World descends upon Indianapolis every year and everything truly goes down at the bars and restaurants. So, with no Combine this year, we have stories to share - from one coach trashing his own players after a playoff loss to control a narrative to Jon Gruden hanging out at Hooters to trades that go one way or another. We also take a close look at all of the quarterback movement about to go down in ...
Ryan Leaf: "You're not alone"
February 27, 2021 13:53 - 49 minutes - 45.8 MBOver at GoLongTD.com, we took a close look at mental health in the NFL. Be sure to head on over and subscribe if you'd like.

Eric Wood, Bills survivor
February 26, 2021 03:40 - 1 hour - 64.6 MBSomehow, Eric Wood was able to keep a smile on his face through all of the losses and all of the turmoil his decade as the Buffalo Bills' starting center. How? He explains. And Wood does not disappoint with many, many tales from the locker room and the field fans have not heard before. You'll laugh and, probably, you'll cry a little as well. Buffalo wasn't just close to drafting Patrick Mahomes, no. As Wood reveals, they were damn close to drafting Russell Wilson. Some in the building actuall...
NFL Offseason FEVER: You can win it all with Carson Wentz, please save Deshaun Watson, Allen Robinson speaks out
February 19, 2021 02:51 - 47 minutes - 43.4 MBWe knew this was going to be a wild NFL offseason. It has not disappointed already. Carson Wentz gets his wish in heading to Indianapolis where the fit is absolutely perfect. Jim explains why he loved Wentz so much coming out of college (and wanted to make a run at him running the Bills), and believes the Colts can now win with him at QB. Deshaun Watson is smack dab in the middle of an absolute dumpster fire in Houston. Will he escape? (We think the Texans will come 'round.) And Allen Robinso...
Where do the Bills go from here?
February 11, 2021 16:13 - 1 hour - 65.5 MBThis episode, the guys are joined by Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic for a deep, deep dive into all things Buffalo Bills. What a season it was for the AFC East champs... but now some difficult decisions loom. What exactly do the Bills need to do to become Super Bowl champs? This very well could be the most important offseason in franchise history, from navigating Josh Allen's contract extension, to finding a pass rusher who scares coordinators to, who knows, maybe hearing from Stefon Diggs o...
Super Bowl LV Breakdown: The Buccaneers demolish Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs
February 08, 2021 15:12 - 36 minutes - 33.9 MBSo, did anyone see that coming? What an obliteration. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are Super Bowl champions after a 31-9 dismantlement of the Kansas City Chiefs. The Dunne & Monos Podcast gets into it all... How did Tampa Bay physically punish KC start to finish? This game was so, so good for the sport's soul. And, for whatever reason, Andy Reid never really adjusted. Tom Brady did more Tom Brady things. He changed the culture in Tampa in more ways than one. Nobody's on his level historically. A...
How the Chiefs landed 'Jordan' with Terez Paylor
February 03, 2021 10:00 - 34 minutes - 32.1 MBYou've heard all about how the Buffalo Bills missed on Patrick Mahomes on this podcast. But how did the Chiefs know he'd be special? We check in with the reporter who knows that team better than any other: Yahoo Sports' Terez Paylor. He shares a fascinating perspective on that 2017 draft with a close look at the inner-workings of that Chiefs' front office that included John Dorsey, Brett Veach and Chris Ballard. The Chiefs had conviction on Mahomes, took action and now they're in the Super B...
The Buccaneers are ready for a fight
February 02, 2021 11:00 - 55 minutes - 50.9 MBWhat's up, everyone? Expect plenty of Go Long podcasts this Super Bowl Week. First up, is an incredibly insightful conversation with Buccaneers.com's Carmen Vitali who joins us for the full hour. As Vitali explains, Tampa Bay sees a clear path to the upset, too. Between a ferocious pass rush, old-school corners and, well, quarterback Tom Brady, the Bucs are heading into Super Bowl LV confident as hell. This episode hits on all things Bucs, from how they try to slow down the surreal Patrick Ma...
Donte Whitner drops the hammer

Whitner, a two-time Pro Bowler, is one of the sharpest analysts going today and does not pull any punches on what he's seen in these NFL Playoffs. He also shares some legendary untold stories from his playing days, from Buffalo to his ruthless 49ers' defense (one that eliminated Jim's Saints in 2011) to playing for Jim Harbaugh to playing with, gulp, Johnny Manziel. You won't want to mi...
Where do the Bills (and Sean McDermott) & Packers (and Aaron Rodgers) go from here?
January 26, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 58.7 MBAll season long, the Bills played fearless. With the season on the line, in Kansas City, Sean McDermott certainly did not coach that way. Doug Whaley joins Dunne & Monos to break down what in the hell happened at Arrowhead. There's quite a gap, still, between Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. And McDermott's decision to kick three field goals on fourth and shorts proved to be a losing mentality vs. his mentor Andy Reid. What's next for Buffalo? Finding a way to get past KC. The guys break down ...
Lee Evans joins the show for Bills, AFC/NFC Championship Talk
January 22, 2021 11:30 - 1 hour - 55.4 MBAnd then there were four. The guys break down how Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen got to this point in the AFC. Both found a way to improve their games drastically at specific turning points. Now, they're the future of the league itself. Dan Campbell's press conference was a kneecap-gnawing hoot. The guys talk Ted Thompson's legacy, Packers/Bucs and more before bringing on former Bills wideout Lee Evans who shares stories from his playing days. He is quite excited about these current Bills, to...
Championship Sunday is Set (and Buffalo is electric)

So, former Bills GM Doug Whaley joins the guys for the whole show to break down how they completely shut down Lamar Jackson and what this means for the city of Buffalo. Also, what happened to Jackson before his concussion? Whaley's skeptical he'll ever turn the corner. Plus, we look back at the trades that brought Jerry Hughes and LeSean McCoy to Buffalo, discuss all of the weapons in Green Bay, b...
