Ryan: This is a resilient, tough football team
Bills Digest|October 30,2016

Bills head coach Rex Ryan has had plenty to say about Buffalo’s offseason to date. Here are some highlights from his press conferences.

Ryan: This is a resilient, tough football team

Rex Ryan’s opening statement after the win over San Francisco: All right, obviously good win for us. Really a good job on all three phases of the game. We did blow a coverage, I’m sure that will be the lead thing that we talk about, but really it’s one of the only ones we’ve blown, I mean bad, all year. So it seems like we’re doing a good job communicating but that was something that obviously was maybe reminiscent of last year so we got to fix that. The young kid (Jonathan Williams) fumbled the ball at the end but other than that I thought ... we grinded out 300 yards rushing I think, so that’s pretty good. I thought we were in control of the game, yet when we made that mistake, I loved the way our team responded. It was clear at halftime we never had to do a whole lot of adjusting, we just had to play better defensively and that’s kind of what we did.

Do you feel this win validates you? After an 0-2 start, you put together four wins in a row. What does it do for you?

RR: No. Nothing, man. We just won four games. We gave up over 20 points against the Jets, I think that’s the only team that’s scored over 20 all year, I’m not sure. But we feel pretty good about where we are defensively and then offensively obviously since the change has taken place, we’re doing a great job and like I said, you’re seeing a football team. I think that’s the big thing. Everybody talks about complementary football but we want to win, that’s the only goal we have. With this staff, there’s no hidden agendas. We just want to play and coach our guys to the best of our abilities, put them in plays to be successful and that’s what we’re doing as coaches and our players are doing an unbelievable job. Because they’re the ones who get all the credit.

Aaron Jones, Packers 5-9 • 208 pounds • 27 years old A fifth-round steal in the 2017 draft out of UTEP, Jones is equally proficient in the running and passing games.

QUARTERBACKS: TOP AVAILABLE FREE AGENTS

Dak Prescott, Cowboys 6-2 • 235 pounds • 27 years old A solid starter who has a nice TD-INT ratio over his first five seasons (104-40), Prescott is an accurate thrower and very mobile. However, he’s coming off a compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle, so it remains to be seen if this will impact his game moving forward.

Hunter Henry, Chargers 6-5 • 250 pounds • 29 years old A very talented player, Henry has had issues staying healthy, unable to complete an NFL season, including missing the entire 2018 season with a torn ACL.
