Yeah....well documented for a couple of years now. So why do A Williams and Reed need to lift up a dead horse to show us its teeth?
It’s just excuse making at this point. They need to move on...
Reed was on a radio show and asked about his experience coaching in Buffalo and whether or not he planned to coach in the future. He answered the questions honestly. That's why he made his comments.
Now as for Aaron Williams and Jerry Hughes, not sure.

So what? He was brought in as a coach, not another player to whine about the system.
You and I could recognize the problem, doesn't make either of us a great coach.
In the end, Rex tossed Ed a bone. Years later, Reed's spitting it back.
That's the exact point I made. The story isn't about whether or not Reed is a good coach. I don't think anyone cares about that. People are discussing the problems with Rex and his defense, which are well documented.

I was Rex's biggest critic, but Ed Reed was a huge favor. He should STFU and enjoy his retirement. No one took him seriously as a coach. Why would they be impressed with his thoughts now?
See you in Canton Ed. Hope you saved all that green.
All the players seem to agree with him. Doesn't make him a great coach, but it shows that there was a disconnect and turbulence between the players and coaches. Ed Reed recognized the problem, which probably anyone could do.

Well Jerry Hughes was pretty much a failure before we traded for him. Players can get better and they can thrive in certain systems.
And Shaq will always have a job as a rotational defensive end.

Players don't "develop" other players.
McCoy will need a police escort to increase his production at this point. True pro like Frank Gore is gonna steal his carries.
You don't think McCoy is a true pro? He's one of the most accomplished running backs currently in the league.

This was discussed awhile ago already after the inteview. But the Aaron Williams tweets and Hughes stuff is new.
Ultimately we all knew the problem at the time and this is all just confirmation. Rex Ryan was unwilling to change his scheme to fit the players, and he was unwilling to work with his players and coaches to increase effectiveness. It was his way and no other option. He also got way too complicated for the players to execute on the field (even Ed Reed confirmed this saying they needed to simplify their on-field communication and he was ignored).
All in all, more condemnation for Rex.

Is he tired of going through the grind or Physically unable to continue? Seems like an outright release was a dick move if later is the case... Come September, October he would be an interesting guy to follow.
He failed his physical.

Mentor gone, but that's ok. A #3 QB does not make or break the team. I wonder if they will go with 2 QB's or if Jackson will now make the team.
I expect we'll bring in another camp arm regardless.

Good for him to do what helps him. Good for me because I enjoy seeing the Jags suck. Win-Win.

Already a thread on this. We don't need another.

Good news for Shaqs sack numbers two games this year. If he can’t land a couple on mills he just can’t sack the qb ??
Doesn't mean he won't get held, though.

Always good when “the media” includes everyone’s opinion at any given moment during a fluid situation like a negotiation
It was widely reported by the media. It wasn't just everyone's opinion.
-
Well, just a short while ago the media claimed that Buffalo was the front runner to sign Ansah. So really they had their bases covered.

Bills did nothing but sign mediocre free agents, other than the center there was really nothing to get excited about. You win games in this league because of match ups and having guys who can make huge plays. I don't see any of that and their draft was not much better other than first round pick, i thought with our record we really need to sign 2-3 big time players. The DE Murphy who Beane signed last season is a classic example of the types of players Beane is bringing to Buffalo. Guys who come here because they don't have many other options.
The biggest spenders in free agency usually aren't the most successful teams.
32 minutes ago, VADC Bills said:I totally agree. Beane has not demonstrated he can close the deal on any type of player beyond mediocre without over paying.
I am a Murphy fan and I believe he can get you 8-10 sacks when healthy. With that being said I will still be excited as I am always at the beginning of the season. Waiting to see the rookies.
Uh, that's because everyone else is over paying. He wants to build the team the right way, which is NOT in free agency. Once our team is more set and we are missing one or two pieces that would put us over the top, that's when you'll see some big names in free agency. We are nowhere near that point.
-
I doubt Duke Williams makes the team. I doubt we go with only 2 QB's. I doubt Bodine or Fisher make the team.
It's also strange to include players that are not even on the roster yet, like Ansah. There is no indication, as of right now, that he will be signed.

Thats surprise considering Joe is, I believe the director of sports for WKBW. So you would think that would be a well paying job for him, considering he came from radio.
Yes, but it is dying a slow death, so it makes sense for anyone there to be looking for opportunities to jump ship before it sinks completely into oblivion.

We are set. One of the two guys we have will win the job and do a fine job.

I see no reason why we can't bring him in for a tryout. He isn't going to get a big deal
Well, it would be a waste of reps and take opportunity away from the younger WR's. That's why I'd be against it.

The Jets got three really, really good Front 7 players this Draft. Quinnen Williams, Jachai Polite and Blake Cashman. It's a good return for them.
Yeah, well they probably should have built around their young QB a little more.
Seems like the Jets have been focusing on their defense and ignoring the offense ever since the Rex Ryan days.

5 teams will battle for 2 WC slots after all the divisions develop. NE, Pitt, Indy, LAC win their divisions then:
KC
Houston
Cleveland
Buffalo
NYJ
....in that order
I could see that happening. Buffalo and NY Jets are pretty equal if you ask me. I don't think Cleveland will be as good as everyone thinks, but I do think they will have a winning season and contend for a wild card spot.

GMFB is pretty good and gives Buffalo props.
However I did have a small issue with one of them thinking the next QB rivalry will be Rosen versus Darnold.
Yeah. That's pretty silly. Clearly it is Darnold vs Allen for the time being. Rosen isn't even in the equation yet. We still don't know if he will even be the starter week 1.

Painful to listen to with his cellphone connection unfortunately. Also threw rex's staff under the bus unprompted which was interesting.
Yep. He had a lot of bad things to say about Rex and company. He said they never took his advice and ignored him when he said they should try to simplify the on-field communication (I remember everyone complaining about how complex and confusing the scheme was, and how poor the defense did with communicating on the field).
Rex brought him in as a figure head, it seems, and never intended to let him be a coach, just a guy the players could gawk at.

I guess some people spend their free time digging through old threads. That's my biggest takeaway.
