The Bills have said since the offseason began that their focus would be improvement on defense. To that end, they’ve made three big additions to the defensive coaching staff. And this week, at the NFL Annual Meetings in Florida, Head Coach Rex Ryan talked about all three of his coaching hires, and what he expects from each of them.
The Bills hired Rex’s brother, Rob, in January as the team’s assistant head coach/defense. Also in January, perennial Pro Bowl safety Ed Reed was hired as the team’s assistant defensive backs coach. And last week, Buffalo hired veteran coach John Blake to coach the defensive line.
