'“We needed to improve drastically from the previous year offensively and I think we’re heading in the right direction,” said head coach Rex Ryan. “Part of that is staying in front of the sticks and then your pass protection holds up. We had an opportunity to win some battles and I think we’ve done that. And then having the opportunity to run the ball some. When you have players like Tyrod and Shady McCoy you better try to stop them. If not we’ll give the ball to them and let them run for it. It opens up your passing game a little bit. Our guys are taking advantage of some of the talent that we have, Anthony Lynn in particular.”'
