Not even mad about that
I was gonna post that Ed Reed news too lol, it's to me but he should be a solid asset especially for the secondary
to me but he should be a solid asset especially for the secondary
Rex claimed that he tried merge some of what the defense did last year with what he likes to do.
Whether or not he's just making excuses we'll never know but he said it's gonna be his defense next year.
I think the Reed hire means he's at least serious about that. Reed isn't just a future HOF but he knows
Rex's defenses

2015 Breakout Player of the Year | Pro Football Focus
Tyrod Taylor, QB, Buffalo Bills

After backing up Joe Flacco in Baltimore for four seasons, Taylor signed with Rex Ryan and the Buffalo Bills and beat out Matt Cassel and E.J. Manuel for the starting spot. Taylor didn’t take long to breakout as he was extremely efficient (14-19, 195 yards, 1 TD) in a Week 1 upset of Indianapolis but also showcased his dual-threat capabilities rushing for 39 yards and a touchdown.
One of the most impressive areas of Taylor’s game was his deep passing abilities, as he attempted an NFL high 18.2 percent of his total passes 20-plus yards downfield. He ranked second with 12 touchdowns and fifth with 1,014 yards. Despite attempting so many deep passes, Taylor kept a respectable 44.9 accuracy percentage that was good for 10th in the NFL.
Another area of Taylor’s game that surprised was his enhanced ability under pressure. While all quarterbacks become worse under pressure (and Taylor is no exception), he was less worse than the NFL average, as his passer rating dipped just 16.7 points (from 104.3 with no pressure to 87.6 under pressure) compared to 26.5 avg. (98.2 to 71.7).
Of all the things Taylor brings to the table, the most impressive part of his game is his uncanny ability to make the “wow” throws. He ranked third in the league in such throws with nine, behind Ben Roethlisberger (11) and Carson Palmer (10) and just ahead of Derek Carr at six. These “wow” throws are of variety that take incredible accuracy and timing, while beating extremely tight coverage.
The Bills landed an absolute steal, particularly because Taylor’s cap hit was less than either of the two players he beat out and also less than other backups such as Matt Schaub, Charlie Whitehurst, and Derek Anderson.

Tyrod
fukk REX RYAN PERIOD:You can read more how much an overrated, hotbag HC Rex Ryan at this link to the story:
Bills’ pairing of Rex Ryan, Jim Schwartz never stood a chance - BN Blitz
the beginning of another re-build
I'm indifferent about Mario. Rex could have done things differently but Mario didn't even show up in a lot of games. Getting blocked up by tight ends. He really didn't even drop back into coverage that much. Hughes wasn't thrilled with the defense either but he still brought it every game.
Even still, they have to re-sign Incognito and Glenn, extend Gilmore next year and possibly Tyrod. No way they were gonna keep everybody

2015 Bills Defensive Study: Defensive Line - Cover 1
Very insightful analysis of the D-Line play of the Bills this past season
Some key points:
-Kyle Williams injury was a bigger loss than people realized; every other starter on the line performance dipped
-Scheme: Rex really tried to retain some of Schwartz scheme, I kinda thought he was just saying that to save face.
Incorporated more of his own later in the season. Obviously not the best decision
"One final reason why there was a decline in production in sacks was because of the strict assignments that the defensive lineman are asked to execute. On certain pressures or just play calls in general defensive ends such as Mario are asked to rush in a certain manner. They weren’t able to freestyle as often in this scheme as in Schwartz’ scheme. Here are a few examples. Explanations are in the captions below the images.
As you can see, the defensive line had specific assignments on some plays. Specific guidelines to each play, which is why Mario and others showed frustration. They were not used to the strict parameters on most of the play-calls. Which led to some players not “buying” in. The scheme is one that tries to get a specific player unblocked. Sometimes Mario wasn’t that called player and based on his body language you could tell he was not happy with his role in the defense.
The Bills need players that understand their role and execute their assignments from play to play. Just because their number isn’t called on a specific play, breakdowns in the offensive blocking could still lead to good things if they play 110 %. At the same time, this defense needs guys that can be difference makers when their number is called."
-Mario dropped into coverage a total of 28 times the whole season. People were carrying on like Rex had him playing safety. And actually did drop into coverage in Schwartz's defense, albeit about half as much
It's long but a pretty informative breakdown. He does the linebackers and secondary too
