More MMQB: For the Bills, It’s All Going According to Plan | NFL Week 6 Takeaways: Joe Burrow Dressed for Success Thanks to Ja’Marr Chase | NFL Scouting Notes: Hendon Hooker, Zay Flowers
On ESPN’s pregame show, Rex Ryan told a story we covered in the Sept. 5 MMQB—one that explained how the outgrowth of Ryan ripping Jets coach Robert Saleh was a conversation between the two that led to material changes in the team’s roster. Ryan explained to Saleh the value he got in bringing program guys such as Bart Scott and Jim Leonhard with him from the Ravens to the Jets and suggested the Jets coach do the same in Year 2.
Saleh took Ryan’s words to heart, and imported Kwon Alexander, Laken Tomlinson and D.J. Reed, who were with him in San Francisco.
