Rex Ryan: Bills need to give Sammy Watkins more looks
And another one. And another one.
Still, there is a pretty thick line between hard-nosed, aggressive football and delivering a completely unnecessary late hit on the other team’s best player; which is exactly what Bills linebacker Nigel Bradham did to Tom Brady on Monday Night.
Is it even possible for a 10-0 team to be in crisis mode? The Ravens beat them to it. Losing out on Jimmy Clausen should tell you all you need to know about the sorry state of the Broncos quarterback position.
“It’s better than some of the days he’s had against us”, Buffalo coach Rex Ryan said.
Tom Brady is running out of receivers.
Well, you have to give Rex Ryan credit.
On Monday, Manning flew to Charlotte, North Carolina, to seek a second opinion from renowned foot and ankle specialist Dr. Robert Anderson, who recommended the five-time MVP spend at least the next week in a walking cast before beginning additional rehab.
The Patriots still have a lot to offer for fantasy teams, but consistency is far more hard to find as stars continue to go down. For comparison, eight other Patriots receivers had 160 yards combined.
The Patriots were down to two receivers and one of them, Chris Harper, had just been brought back from the practice squad.
The Bills lost because of poor game management and the insistence of Rex Ryan to stick with a quarterback who could throw the football about 10 yards after injuring his shoulder at the tail end of the game.
“We’ll see how the week progresses”, Ryan said, without revealing the nature of Taylor’s injury. “But I think we have the right guys to accept that challenge and we’re looking forward to the matchup this weekend”. We’re playing against a good team next week.
That call paled in comparison to what happened in the third quarter, though. Williams did not return after being hurt in the second half. So that’ll leave a battered Brady potentially without three of his most trusted operatives in Amendola, Julian Edelman and Dion Lewis. Amendola appeared to have a virtual clear run to the end zone with just one defender between him and a touchdown.
But a whistle was blown while the pass was in the air.
Ryan has a long track record of being an aggressive schemer and play-caller, sending blitzers from every conceivable spot on the field.
But after making six Super Bowl appearances and hoisting four Vince Lombardi trophies, here they are again, unbeaten and unrepentant.
During his weekly program on the NFL Network Tuesday night, the NFL’s vice president of officiating Dean Blandino said Watkins was never touched on his way out of bounds, which means the clock should’ve stopped running. “I should have taken that approach instead of, ‘Hey, we got this talent, we can do this”.
In the end, several field goal kicks and a trio of touchdowns marked the only big scoring plays.
