Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 This quote from Damien Woody proves that Ryan is the right coach for this team right now to put us over the top. "Players also appreciate Ryan’s ability to convince them they can reach heights they didn’t think were possible. For instance, Woody recalled a meeting Ryan had with the offensive linemen after he first took over the Jets. “He said, ‘Guys, we’re going to lead the NFL in rushing. Get it in your minds right now. We are going to be the No. 1 team in the league in rushing,’ ” Woody said. Sure enough, the Jets ranked first in the league that season with 2,756 rushing yards. “He said, ‘For me, it’s about rushing attempts and completions. We do that, the defense is going to play great and I promise you we’re going to make a run at this thing this year,’ ” Woody said. “And I’ll be damned if we weren’t knocking. We almost kicked down the door in consecutive years,” reaching the AFC Championship Game in 2009 and 2010. “It’s just amazing, just the confidence that he instills in players. “I’ve never been around a coach like that before.” http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/bills-nfl/bills8217-new-coach-rex-ryan-held-in-high-regard-by-his-former-players-20150111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 ANd then 2011 happened... And still he kept promising those SB titles... When your GM is getting rid of your good players you can only do so much. He can't make bad players great but he can make make good players great and that will help our offense a lot.

The Big Cat Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 It certainly (a) pumps the brakes on the whole "our QB's were neutered" theory or (b) fully substantiates it if/when our signal caller plays with noticeably more swagger next year (as I expect he will).

Big C Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I definitely got the feeling that Marrone did the opposite of motivate EJ. The good thing is that EJ seems very self-motivated. I really want to believe in him and I like Rex as a guy who can instill some confidence that was lacking before, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJ was average to poor in college and he is still the same now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Is Rex the Pete Carroll of the East? Both are great motivators who preach team unity and maximum effort. Both are 'player-coaches' loved by their players. And both are brilliant defensive tacticians. In fact, Rex and Pete may possess the two best defensive minds in the NFL today. But Pete has more player-talent in Seattle than Rex had in NY. Might we remedy that in Buffalo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete, despite having just hired Flynn as his presumed starter at like 25 million, drafted Wilson---and then chose him as starter in the preseason. Rex was HC when they brought in Vick, Tebow and Geno. He also chose Scottenheimer then Sporano then Mornihinweg as OC. Each was a disaster. The contrast in management is stark. Rex never gave the O much thought and it showed--in fact that sealed his fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your Jauron and raise you a Dungy (with superbowl ring) and a Levy (with four AFC champ rings). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex never gave the O much thought and it showed--in fact that sealed his fate. And you wonder why the Jets weren't successful? Rex wasn't in charge of personnel; he tried to make it work but while the QB talent was substandard, his defense (particularly the secondary) was also gutted. I'd suggest it was damn near a miracle the Jets won 8 games a year ago. In Buffalo he's getting a "fresh start" with the offense and a fully stocked cupboard on defense. Greg Roman has been successful and the Bills have some weapons. EJ is still an unknown, but the little bit he has played is still better than the three chumps referenced above.

Did Rex want Vick or geno? http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000312949/article/pete-carroll-had-to-be-convinced-to-draft-russell-wilson The HC is often at the mercy of his GM. That's reality. Rex's talent in NY was a joke the last couple years. Just bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
