Rex Ryan won’t ‘pull the Arkansas coach’ regarding schedule

We have great coaches, great players, great staff so, we’re just going to leave everything on the field and I cant wait for Sunday.

Ryan isn’t worried about how he comes off. He’s fine standing up to the challenge and doesn’t care if it’s the same thing people have heard in the past.

Belichick was asked why Rex Ryan has had success against Tom Brady with his defenses, and he replied, “I think our record against him has been OK”. The Saints should handle the Bucs, the Dolphins should handle the Jags, and as such, I fully expect 20-25 touches for each of these guys. “I don’t care if I sound like whoever”. The game’s at our place on Sunday. “But this year’s a different year”, he said.

This game is the real test to see if this Bills team is different from years past.

Here are the rest of Rex’s best quotes from Wednesday.

Perhaps the most pleasant surprise from the New England Patriots season opening win against the Pittsburgh Steelers was the performance of the offensive line.

Ryan’s teams tend to take on his personality: Brash, outspoken, aggressive, maybe over the line at times.

While I agree with you that the Pats will prevail in the AFC East, I will say that I am mindful of the competition.

At age 30, veteran defensive end Mario Williams is still one of the most-feared pass rushers in the league. But like I said, it’s whatever the coaches want me to do to help this team win. This is what it took for the Seahawks to beat Green Bay in the NFC Championship the last time these two met. One can only hope we will see something similar but even without these events, this should prove to be one of the games of the week. To beat Brady, you need to get in his face, and get in it often. “Going back to the conservation with Tyrod Taylor, he’s a guy that can hurt you on the ground with his legs and he has a strong arm”. “I’d rather have a win against a first-ballot Hall of Fame coach in Belichick than a slappy coach. So hell yeah there is”.

3) Let’s be honest, Tom Brady has pretty much had his way against Buffalo throughout his career. Ryan is the common folk’s coach who talks a big game and often backs it up, all the while being refreshingly relatable to fans. Me saying that may ruin a lot of stories, but that’s just the way I feel personally. Are you good enough as a team to beat the New England Patriots? “So we’ll find out where we stack up”.

When Belichick does say anything that has the slightest hint of controversy, it tends to create headlines as it did Tuesday when Belichick told reporters the Ralph Wilson Stadium crowd will “be as loud as we allow it to be” based on their ball control. “But I don’t think we’re gonna focus on that kid”, Ryan said very recently about Patriots running back Dion Lewis.

I was most impressed by how deliberately they targeted Rob Gronkowski. I’m going to do my job whether they do or don’t, so I could care less. They lost some good players so hopefully we have closed the gap.

This is the 111th meeting between The Bison and the Fighting Sioux dating back to 1894 but only their first game since 2003. I think that’s what makes them… But the intensity they brought was surprising.

Tom Brady has only lost twice to the Bills in Orchard Park in 2003 and 2001.
