Kelly the Dog Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 how about Spikes? can we should Bills keep him under Rex ? Would love to. I think that Rex is going to lobby hard for the Bills to sign David Harris, who is a stud. I always liked him so I would be thrilled with him. I'm not convinced that Rex is going to a 3-4 defense. He may stay with our basic system, or the hybrid that Pettine ran, and then add his inspired chaos to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Jerky Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) how about Spikes? can we should Bills keep him under Rex ?Rex actually seems to love Spikes attitude and toughness. Ryan was being asked about Buffalos defense in one of his conference calls this past season and he quickly mentioned two players specifically in his comment. (Brandon) Spikes is one of those guys that I like because he's a tough guy, a mean guy, a tough a**, said Ryan. I like guys that are competitors and that's why I like him so much. That's why I like Kyle Williams so much. Ryan has mentioned Kyle Williams almost every season he has been head coach of the Jets on his conference calls, so the new Bills head coach has to be pretty pumped that he now gets a chance to coach him. http://m.buffalobills.com/s/30841/367?itemPos=3&itemUri=1439349777%2F98714116141215159051090151342 Edited January 13, 2015 by Beef Jerky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJDK Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I am feeling like they will let Hughes go and bring in a pass rushing OLB from somewhere... not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I wanted Schwartz to stay. He did a great job last year. But I would imagine if you asked 32 owners and 32 GMs and 31 Head Coaches who would you want running your defense, Jim Schwartz or Rex Ryan, it would probably be somewhere about 85-10 Ryan. Maybe 90-5. It's just a guess but it seems that everyone thinks he's just about the best. Rex Ryan is generally regarded as the 1-2 best defensive minds in the game, right up there with Bellichick as far as straight defense goes (because Bellichick seems to be involved in the entire team and not just defense) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want his coordinators to be the best at their respective positions. Having the HC focused on one side of the ball is not wise. Besides Seattle schwartz might well have the best defense in the league. I dont care to change what worked very very well this past year.

Dorkington Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hate to see Schwartz go... I think his scheme fits our team better... but onward and forward, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I want Rex to stay away from the offense. I'm prepared to volunteer as all-time-snack-guy. Anytime Rex has an inkling to find out what Roman's up to, my job would be to lure him back to his office with a different tasty snack and/or foot-fetish websites.

Kelly the Dog Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 theres my conundrum KTD. We had fielded a very strong defense this past season. its the Offense that needed fixin And he's already got a guy with a good foundation and history to run it. Hopefully Rex will be able to draw a terrific OL coach to the team, too, establish his philosophy and then step out of Roman's way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not at the table Karlos Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Exactly. It made no sense, and once they hired Ryan this outcome was inevitable. So now they blow it all up AGAIN, Rex fires a prerfectly good, successful defensive staff, brings in his own toadies and spends all his time obsessed with the defense. Sixth defensive coordinator change in eight years. Idiocy. Rex wants to keep schwartz. He did not fire him. Jim left on his own...I am feeling like they will let Hughes go and bring in a pass rushing OLB from somewhere... not good. why... not... just... keep...hughes......o_0 Edited January 13, 2015 by kr632 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I want Rex to stay away from the offense. I don't know if you're just having a bit 'o' fun, but if you're serious then I disagree. I want Rex very involved with the offense once the season starts, particularly on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want Rex very involved with the offense once the season starts, particularly on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. It depends on who comes on board with Roman. If he gets a guy like Callahan to be the OL coach I want Rex on O less and less. I do agree with game planning and how to combat defenses mid week, and that kind of stuff. But I want him to do what he does best, concentrate on the D, and let the offensive guys mostly run the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as far as analyzing opponents/game-planning/self-scouting/quality control/etc Rex can provide a unique perspective on how oppoinents are likely to attack the Bills and how that can compromise the integrity of opposing defenses. When they're implementing the offense during the offseason and calling it on gameday, I agree Rex should be concentrating elsewhere, but he's got too valuable a pair of eyes to not utilize them as much as possible. That would be as dumb as acquiring a stud WR and then making him an afterthought in your offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uffalo Ills Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 .... ... ... ... wow, dismantled the #4 defense already.... switching from a 4-3 to a 3-4 now? I don't get this hire at all. Yep, i'd be ok switching scheme, just not DC, Db coach, or DLine Coach... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Rex wants to keep schwartz. He did not fire him. Jim left on his own... why... not... just... keep...hughes......o_0 I couldn't see Schwartz staying with either a new defensive coordinator-type HC (Rex) or with any first-time coach without a pedigree (Gase, etc.). In fact, I'm having trouble thinking of what new HC he'd be comfortable staying with, knowing that he was passed over for the job. John Fox maybe? So he was good as gone when Marrone skipped town. As for Hughes: I like him. Fine player. But probably no better than the 5th most important player on this defense (Mario, Dareus, Bradham, Gilmore, Kyle, even maybe Brown and Kiko if healthy), due a huge salary. We kind of need to apply that money to a pathetic offense, no? Edited January 13, 2015 by The Frankish Reich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
