Ringmaster Rex Signs John Connor to Bills

Buffalo Bills sign fullback John 'The Terminator' Conner
 

Rex Ryan loves him some Terminator.

The Buffalo Bills announced they signed fullback John Conner, nicknamed The Terminator.

Conner was Ryan's "hand-picked" fullback in 2010 while the coach was with the New York Jets.

Ryan famously gushed over the Conner during HBO's Hard Knocks, which filmed in Florham Park that season.

A bone-crushing blocker, Conner spent three seasons with the Jets from 2010 to 2012, before brief stints with the Bengals and Giants. He returned to the Jets in Ryan's final season with Gang Green, appearing in 12 games with three starts in 2014.

It's natural that Ryan would reunite with The Terminator in Buffalo. The Bills plan to pound the ball on the ground heavily in 2015. However, he'll have to beat out Jerome Felton out for the job. The Bills wooed Felton heavily during free agency, famously sending a private jet to pick up the fullback.

Felton has been the more productive blocker in recent years. So while Conner reunites with Ryan, the Terminator might not be back for long.

Rex went to Kentucky to draft a linebacker.

 

He comes back with Conner who by all accounts would have been undrafted.

 

That is REX.

 

he draft a LB from clemson this year who wasn't even watching the draft and was shocked he was even drafted at all

Idzik should be getting his next gm job any day now

 

The commentary on Rex impacting the roster spans 6 years. Idzik ****ed up 2 of them. In other words, whatever your ******* point is, it's irrelevant to the Rex wisecracks we're making. :P

Reminds me of the story of the little boy that was told to go sell the family cow and came back with a handful of magic beans

That's Tony Steward.   Wonder if he'll survive the cut when training camp is over.

Oh he will survive even if he stinks up the room. Tough guy Rex will never admit a mistake.

What did he do?

I heard he showed up for practice late.  Before that,  he talked  to the media and said that he was so shocked (or words to that affect) that he was chosen because he really didn't talk much to the Bills.  Only about 15 minutes.  Rex didn't have much to say about him in his mini-camp training conference.  Ryan was really high a number of rookies.
