Unfiltered Notebook 9/25: Brady, White excited for Buffalo’s tough environment

‘We’ve respect what they’ve been able to do. I think you do that. If you don’t do that, if you don’t watch and you don’t learn from other people, especially people that have been the best, and they’re defending champs right so then, you’re ignorant to a model out there.

So, that would be a long conversation, but I’m confident that mostly driven by the people, that our culture has changed. Still with work to do. But I’m confident that we’ve moved that meter.’
