[[Please Change Title]Pepper Johnson?]

I'm just not a fan of cronyism and nepotism. I have seen it all my adult life, people getting jobs there not qualified for or maybe are qualified for it but get hired over better candidates because they know the a-hole in charge. I'm sure Rex feels "his guys" are great coaches and maybe they are, but I think there are better candidates out there, thats all.

 

If Pepper was offered a spot and he refused...then that sucks for us. He was a good coach (imo).

 

 

Ummm...Okay? News Flash.... Do you sign a letter you send in the mail even though you add your name and return address to the envelope? They know it's you that sent the letter.

 

Yea... These aren't letters. Also I highly doubt you know better then Rex about candidates for positions coaches... Actually I am sure of it.

[Will Rex's defense work in Buffalo]

20,20,19,24--those are the Jets D rankings in points allowed the past 4 years.

did you take out pick 6's and you forgot offensive turnovers. I also need defenses starting field position on those turnovers. See how much goes into stats, it's why you really shouldn't just post one and think it works.

Well, quoting REX, who is very quotable.....he said (paraphrasing) " I don't believe in putting square pegs in round holes...I use the strengths of the players we have"

If he does that, we are going to be big time winners on the D side of the ball!!! If he forces players to fit his template....we are screwed, and headed for a big turnover of players.

You do know Rex is better then Schwartz and has used every different defensive scheme in the NFL world so he knows what he's doing.

[Spiller sounds like he is likely to come back]

Yep. I think if Chan was the coach in 2014 with this defense we win 1-2 more games and in the playoffs. Chan is a good offensive mind, especially getting the most out of what he has to work with. Marrone was the opposite. Trying to do what he thinks is best without regard to what he has to work with.

Chan was garbage... I cant believe how quick people forget.

[Mermaid wouldya?]

[CJ has Jets "on his list" with Gailey there]

Heh yep CJ is doing the Christian thing... Exploiting stuff for money.

[Will Rex's defense work in Buffalo]

Will water help someone that's dehydrated? That is basically the question the OP asked.

[CJ has Jets "on his list" with Gailey there]

@ProFootballTalk: C.J. Spiller likes the sound of Chan Gailey to the Jets http://t.co/Iqt1rEykP0

 

 

@MMehtaNYDN: CJ Spiller to the Jets? Free-agent RB tells me reunion with Chan Gailey in NY would be "a perfect match" #nyj http://t.co/JGd4ykw2we

No one wants to play for Chan Failey. People forget CJ got "winded" in Chan's failure.

[Championship Sunday Predictions]

Indy 35 - NE 34

 

GB 27 - Seattle 28

 

 

Gonna be some close freaking games.

[[Please Change Title]Pepper Johnson?]

The DL coach replacing Pepper is better. Karl Dunbar.

Yea and Dunbar used to coach Kyle Williams at LSU

But I don't think you're taking this into account "I would rather he being looking at the best he can not just those he know."

I think Rex knows who is best.

[[Please Change Title]Pepper Johnson?]

The Defensive coaching staff hires just seem to be cronyism at its finest, and i don't mean it in a good way. What happened to find the best guy available, not just the shmuck you worked with at your last job because that's who you know. Just pathetic! Maybe it will turn out to be a good staff but, i just don't like how its playing out for hiring of the defensive staff. Pepper definitely deserved a spot on the staff if he wanted one!

 

JMHO

 

BigPappy

News Flash all coaches bring guys they know and trust in... No need to sign your name, people can see this is your post.

[[closed]Rex Ryan Bringing Mark Sanchez Aboard?]

Nope

[Pegula v Wilson]

Ralph didnt have the money Pegula has and did what he could to keep the team in Buffalo.

[Will Rex's defense work in Buffalo]

The guy got production from Maybin... Now that is impressive.

[I need the Bills to sweep Brady]

Well Marrone took the Flutie curse with him, Bills finally won @Pats Stadium for the first time, and the Bills will be going 8-0 at home next year. So yea I can see a sweep...

[MMQB: Why Rex Ryan Makes Sense in Buffalo]

Actually the article is wrong, the Bills defense is actually much better then the one he started with in NJ.

[NFL Network coverage of the Hiring of Rex]

National media, or more appropriately, the 50 former player talking head panel shows are usually a trailing indicator. How many of those guys picked the Saints and Bears to compete for a SB this year? The flapping heads don't see the progress until its already happened and they don't see the weakness until its already manifested.

/thread ender of all thread enders.

[Brady can't stop. He won't stop...]

Someone needs to go Tonya Harding on Brady.

[Article: Bills who benefit most from Rex Ryan hire]

Those who benefit least: OBB Bradham. He will now be expected to blitz, contribute on effective edge setting and be out of the mix. Occasionally pressed in to larger pass coverage roles to make up for blitzers.

Jerry Hughes or any DE will no longer be all go after the QB and be expected to occupy space on the DL

Kyle Williams same as above.

The TE unit. I've never seen a TE work in any Rex Ryan team and not sure Roman utilizes the TE unit well.

Funny Kyle Williams is actually Rex's favorite player.

marrone and 2014 crew had a philosophy directly against their roster in every way. Lee smith over Goodwin/Williams etcfair enough but I have a lot of questions about what the plan is and I am concerned with the future of Hughes and Bradham is for our team

If the defense is #1 like I expect with or without them it doesn't really matter.

 

The fact that Rex was able to get something out of Maybin, even though it wasn't much, shows me how good Rex is at putting his defensive players in position to succeed.

[King of the pick 6....]

Wow this thread is gold.

[Who will the Bills bring in at QB?]

Matt Moore would add good competition. That is what we are doing having a QB competition, if EJ beat him out awesome and if not Moore is not a bad stop gap. Also draft a guy Garret Grayson.

[UFA offensive linemen we need to sign in free agency.]

Well thus thread is over already... Glenn isn't moving. Willie Colon would be a good stop gap for a guard and he seems to want to possibly follow Rex from the Jets.

[Chan Gailey OC for the Jets?]

@MMehtaNYDN: RT @NYDNSports: "Creative" Chan Gailey good for @nyjets: Fred Jackson. http://t.co/XGn19BonZN#nyj

Sometimes white lies aren't a bad thing. Chan Failey

[Write ESPN to tell them to fire Mike Rodak]

Yes, that is exactly what some people want. For that though just stick to buffalobills.com

I think they just want someone that actually knows Bills football and Rodak doesnt know much.

[Write ESPN to tell them to fire Mike Rodak]

Mommy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mike Rodak isn't a homer for the team he covers and he writes mean stuff about our team. Make ESPN fire him.

So you like that he is a Pats fan that knows nothing about the Bills?

[Will knowing Pettine's defense give Buffalo an edge?]

No since Pettine's defense isn't the same as Rex's. He may have been coached under Rex but Rex runs his defense much better then Pettine runs his. Also these guys should have no problem adjusting. #1 defense next year.
