Goodell Says Bills Need New Stadium
Revis To Bills? Adam Schefter reported on ESPN this morning that the Bills and Jets are both interested in signing Darrelle Revis when he becomes a free agent. The Patriots do have a very expensive option on Revis but he is likely to hit the market. The Jets would love to bring him back to the team that he had the majority of his success with. Ryan would love to have him anchor the back of the defense in Buffalo. Ryan's defenses rely on solid man to man coverage from the cornerbacks as they blitz the front seven. If the Bills want to sign Revis it may cost them a chance at keeping Jerry Hughes since they likely will only have the cap space to sign one of them.

Coordinators Introduced: Rex Ryan introduced offensive coordinator Greg Roman and defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman to the Western New York media yesterday. Ryan said to enjoy these guys now because they both will be head coaches someday. Thurman was his right hand man with the Jets and the two work together on the play calling. Thurman admitted that Ryan usually comes up with the plays first. He said they are not tied to a system and will run more of a hybrid offense instead of a straight 3-4 or 4-3. Roman said he's committed to the run and that everyone has a clean slate with them. They may do waht they did before or they may be asked to do different things going forward.
