Rex Ryan: Bills tried to 'merge' defensive schemes in 2015

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- As the Buffalo Bills' defense sank in several statistical categories this season, questions on social media poured in about why the Bills couldn't return to the scheme that worked so well under former defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz the season prior.

But on Monday, Rex Ryan told "Mike and Mike" on ESPN Radio that trying to incorporate what was familiar to the Bills' defense actually backfired, and he indicated that the Bills would run a more pure version of Ryan's defense next season.
