Bills hire Rex Ryan

[Legatron4]

lol k



his fb post was the first thing i read this morning lol

Lmao. At least he's passionate about them.

Well, they have pieces of an offense. They just don't have a quarterback.

Yeah Ram fans know that story all to well. IMO, they will still go with Manuel. He can run, but I would not be shocked if they traded for Cutler. Rex could think with Cutler a strong running game and a great defense would get him to post season again.

 

[den-the-coach]

That explains that. I think he was a terrific fit for Atlanta. If that offense had a defense they could easily win their division.

Buffalo will have the best defense in the league next year. I'm just not so sure about their offense.

Arthur Blank is all about protocol and professionalism this could be the right fit for Todd Bowles, but I thought Blank would want a Head Coach with experience because they went that way with Mike Smith. Well, with the first hire the dominoes will begin to fall.

 

[den-the-coach]

Stupid hire. They have arguably the best 4-3 in all of football, and they hire a coach whose base formation is 3-4? Remind me how Jerry Hughes did as a rush linebacker in Indy's 3-4 system? What about Mario Williams?

Rex runs variations that defense will be lights out under Ryan that's a given, he's very good at utilizing the talent the offense will be the issue.

I'm just happy he's not going to the niners to be honest

He really doesnt want to kiss belichicks rings and wants to prove it

That's why I like Rex, he wants to put a boot right up Belicheats Ass! And please no foot fetish jokes.

 

[Rambitious1]

The defense will be nasty.
Mark Sanchez a fa? Hmmm

If he were to bring Sanchez in as a FA, he's more dense than I thought he was.

I think you meant the 2nd best right?

Cuz the Rams will be the best next year!!!

Rex doesn't use only a 3-4. He has recently, but with Ravens he did both, incuding some 46 defense . . . but even Rex's 3-4 is not a two-gap 3-4, it's a one-gap 3-4 which is an attacking , not a reading type defense. Some 3-4 defenses are read then react, but not Ryan's/

His base may be 3-4 but Ryan is a good defensive mind that did use 4-3 packages as well as 46 defensive. I don't see a big personnel problem here. He can adjust based on what he is given.

Oh, Rex...

 

[Legatron4]

Im listening to the press conference now. Rex is actually pretty awesome. I see no reason forhim to not predict that they were close last year.

Except for that one giant elephant in the room that they have no QB. Orton retired again and Manuel is crap. Its kinda funny hes now coaching a team that is a mirrors image of his old team the Jets.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday morning that the Buffalo Bills are expected to make Ryan their new coach, per sources involved in the situation. The Bills have offered, and Ryan is planning to accept.

In Buffalo, Ryan will lead an already dominant defense, with pass rushers that will mesh well with his style. However, questions at quarterback persist, which is what sank him during his tenure with the New York Jets.

NFL Media's Kimberly Jones reports that the proposed deal is for five years, who also adds Jets defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman is expected to join Ryan in the same position.

As one of the best minds in football, Ryan will mesh well with the personnel in Buffalo. The defensive line of Marcell Dareus, Mario Williams, Kyle Williamsand Jerry Hughes, is among the best in the NFL. And Buffalo's secondary is better than Ryan was working with the last few years in New York.

Ryan's former confidant and defensive coordinator Mike Pettine led to the Billsdefensive turnaround two years ago, so switching back from a 4-3 to a 3-4 scheme shouldn't be a problem in Western New York.

The biggest question for Ryan will now be the quarterback situation.

Ryan compiled a 46-50 record with the Jets. His team failures were mostly due to struggling quarterback play from young signal callers Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith. Now he'll likely be saddled with another young, inconsistent and unproven quarterback in EJ Manuel.

Who Ryan brings in at offensive coordinator will be key to watch. Rapoport reported Saturday that Ryan wants to team up with former Bears coach -- and noted quarterback whisperer-Marc Trestman. Another name to watch is Niners offensive coordinator Greg Roman, per Rapoport.

Ryan's marriage with Buffalo seems odd, given what he's went through the last few years in New York.

However, there is no doubt the union will make the AFC East even more entertaining (if that's possible). Not only will Ryan face Bill Belichick's rings twice a year, he'll also have two grudge matches a season with the Jets.

Dude (Ryan) is an enormous blow hard.

I think they have a plan at QB. maybe he'll trade for Kaepernick or something considering Roman is now they're OC. I don't think Manuel is bad as people thinks he is though.

I don't know man his players love playing for him. also, you don't take your team to the AFC Championship two years in a row if you suck. I think they'll be ok.

Hopefully they can overtake Brady for the first time in forever.

Rex Ryan: The Bills are going to the playoffs
Posted by Josh Alper on January 14, 2015

AP

In his last couple of years as Jets coach, Rex Ryan toned down his press conference performances quite a bit from the entertaining shows that they were in his first few years with the team.

Ryan’s lack of job security may have had a lot to do with that, but that’s not an issue any more. Ryan has plenty of job security in Buffalo and his press conference was a throwback to his first day on the job with the Jets in 2009.

Ryan opened by tapping the microphone and asking if it was on because “it’s getting ready to be on.” Ryan stopped short of guaranteeing the Super Bowl win he never delivered to the Jets, saying only that the team would pursue the Super Bowl with everything they had in the tank. He was willing to make another promise that probably sounded good to long-suffering Bills fans.

“It’s been 15 years since the Bills made the playoffs. Well get ready, we’re going,” Ryan said.

Ryan, who denied a report that he preferred the Falcons and 49ers jobs to the one in Buffalo, kept going from there. He said that the Bills would build a “bully” and see if other teams want to face them for 60 minutes, that the Bills would lead the league in defense and took a shot at former Buffalo coach Doug Marrone by saying that the team deserved a “loyal coach.”

There was some humility, most notably Ryan’s admission that he needs to do a better job developing a quarterback, but it was mostly a vintage Ryan performance. He invited other teams to put his comments up on their bulletin boards because the Bills would be backing all of them up.

It was definitely a win in the press conference for Ryan and the Bills. One thing we’ve learned over the last six years, though, is that a win at the press conference doesn’t mean nearly as much as a win on the field.

LOL what a bunch of hooey. It is the same rah rah bullshit he says everytime he gets a new job. He is a stooge that makes promises he cannot keep just to get fans fired up.

He took over a pretty talented Jets team - especially on Defense.
And, where are they now? I get that's not all his fault, but he's the guy who cuts and keeps people.
I'm not saying he's horrible, just way over rated. A lot of players think that as well.
