Be a great DC on teams that win and maybe win a Super Bowl ring or two. I still think he is a great defensive coach. He needs someone else to run the team. There were some games when he was here that his defense looked totally different... Like Rex actually worked that week. That's what ticked me off most Pettine ran Rex's defense better. 6 minutes ago, Boyst62 said: The coaches would get drunk at the facility nearly every night and the night before the game sure they did.

I think he's willing to teach. Huge problem with Rex wherever he goes if Dc I think his days are over. Among other things.

Thurman#1 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 10 hours ago, TheFunPolice said: Rex was shot from his time with the Jets He needed to take a year off and recharge but came in here running on fumes and just didn't have the passion for the work Happens in every profession. I think he truly believed that he was all in but once it was time to grind he didn't have it. IMO that's why the Pegulas fired him so quickly. His record here was .500 and get didn't even get 2 years. This seems like a very reasonable guess. Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Among other things. plus the players attacked instead of making 8000 decisions before the snap and then ended being confused , out of position and not making plays.

SF Bills Fan Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 It carried over on the field with loads of unnecessary penalties. Penalties that cost us some games. Rex was folksy and a players coach but not a good HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purple haze Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 12 hours ago, CommonCents said: Yeah, I felt the same way reading this. Reggie really isn’t in position to point fingers, he should have declined comment. He's in great position to speak on HIS experience. He was there. He's not saying anything people on this board didn't see and mention over two years, and none of us were verifiably on the team or working in the organization. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan692 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Rexs problem was that he took a top 5 defense and turned it into a bottom feeder. Thats pretty damning for a defensive mastermind. Plus he made the mistake of hiring his own POS brother. Bills improved on offense as whaley sold the farm and our future over the last 2 or 3 years like we were in some kind of win now mode and we couldnt even make the playoffs. Yeah. Good riddance! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't recall other things similar anymore, but there were many. Those are the types of things regardless of the talent, won't change the person. Oh, I can recall a doozy: http://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/rex-ryan-challenge-arrowhead-bills-chiefs-chris-hogan-james-trapp/1p374npxbp44pzn889dwanu8m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Rex's personality and his faults are why we have McDermott now, or at least that type of person. Pegula got burned by Rex and he went out of his way to find the polar opposite with his replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 1 hour ago, Captain Murica said: I disagree completely with Schopp. 1) neither of Rex’s teams were better than last year’s Bills IMO. His best year was 8-8. Last year the Bills went 9-7 and made the playoffs for the first time in almost 2 decades, and they had a lot less raw talent than either of Rex’s teams did. 2) his offense was, for the most part, better than his defense during his time in Buffalo. The 2015 offense was #7 in scoring, and iirc I believe the 2016 offense was also top 10. How many times did we fans say “if only we had our 2014 defense with this 2015/16 offense...” ? If anything, I feel his defense held him back in his time here. 3) discipline definitely held the Bills back. They were one of the most penalized teams in the NFL (if not the most penalized). Penalties cost them wins in some games. I feel that The lack of discipline trickled throughout the entire team and showed in numerous forms. To name a few - effort level on the field, execution of play calls, a general level of confusion among the players, lack of preparation, and the list goes on... I believe that a lack of discipline showed up on game days and hurt the Bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Schopp is too smart to think these things are important. He only cares about stats and NEVER running the ball, which he has stated many times and he ignores when running wins in the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDermott got to 9-7 last year with half the talent Rex had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
