BP Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Rex Ryan says Wayne Hunter will sign with Buffalo Bills At the close of the Buffalo Bills' final offseason team activity on Thursday, head coach Rex Ryan told reporters that he is expecting the team to sign free agent offensive tackle Wayne Hunter at some point before training camp. Hunter, who turns 34 on July 2, had spent the past two days practicing with the Bills during their mandatory minicamp, albeit on a tryout basis. When he signs, he'll immediately become the second-oldest player on Buffalo's roster, behind only running back Fred Jackson (who turned 34 in February). Ryan is familiar with Hunter, having coached him during his first three seasons with theNew York Jets from 2009-11. Eventually, during the 2012 preseason, the Jets grew weary of Hunter's iffy performances, removing him as their starting right tackle and then trading him to the St. Louis Rams for former No. 2 overall pick Jason Smith. Hunter spent one season with the Rams, was released by the team prior to the 2013 season, and has not been in the NFL for the past two years. Given the most recent years on his CV, it is excessively difficult to imagine Hunter making the Bills' final 53-man roster. But if Ryan wants a veteran player with a good work ethic to be in the same meeting rooms as Cyrus Kouandjio and Seantrel Henderson, then the eventual signing at least makes a modicum of sense. www.buffalorumblings.com/buffalo-bills-news/2015/6/18/8805877/rex-ryan-wayne-hunter-signs-buffalo-bills-cyrus-kouandjio But I thought he has absolutely no voice on personnel decisions? So you have somebody (Rex) who's clueless when it comes to the offensive side of the ball making decisions on offensive personnel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their names both start with H, 2 syllables, both common-sounding names, played the same position, and both were briefly good. Pretty funny though, my going back for seconds in particular, I'll admit.

Integrity28 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Thank you Integrity, I'm just a little inquisitive as to why we would hire Hunter who has been off for a year but more importantly 34 years old. Coaches get hired. Players get signed. Rex had his GM sign (or acquire) several players that hadn't been on the field in a few years while he was here, most notably Santonio Holmes and Plaxico Burress. Rex's reasoning was, to paraphrase, "look what they did 2-3 years ago, or in the 20 seconds of film I've watched on them". Rex having any involvement in the makeup of your roster is not good for the long-term, may not even be good for the short-term. Rex is a 3-trick pony. He is a great motivator for short stints, he can pump up the fans for 1-2 seasons, and he knows how to do what his father taught him, which is to scheme his defense to attack the protection of the QB, not the QB himself. He really has no business making decisions on who the team should and should not acquire as well as who should and should not start. He's not a good head coach. He's a good coordinator. We've been trying to explain this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeaniec Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 We've been trying to explain this And, I think I am beginning to understand. It's pretty difficult for me to place 100% of the blame on Rex for what happened over the past couple of years with the Jets. I just remember all of the negativity about Idzik. I also believe, towards the end, Johnson sided with Idzik and against Ryan. Am I correct in my assumption (Idzik/Johnson)? |For the most part, I am pleased with the players we've signed. However, a 34 year old who has not played for a while is a concern of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idzik's final year just punctuated the fact that we weren't going to outrun 5 years of roster neglect. Woody didn't side with either of them, which is why they both got fired. So, your assumption is inaccurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenoandtheJets Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I definitely remember Wayne Hunter he was obviously the worst offensive tackle I have ever seen. He couldn't block a tree standing still he was so bad. I felt bad for the quarterback behind center who had to deal with a really incompetent offensive lineman such as Hunter. He was one of the reasons why the jets didn't do so well in the 2011 season because every time the linebacker he was guarding went past him and got to the quarterback. I remember most of the time his awful blocking made it easy for the opposition to get to Mark Sanchez quickly. those were some bad memories especially that Baltimore game with their defense. The fact that Rex Ryan thinks he's good to sign him with the bills is really comical. I hope Wayne Hunter starts for Buffalo just for the fact that when the Jets play the Bills the Linebacker matched up against Hunter will get past him and tackle the quarterback because then the Jets can exploit the weakness of the O-Line which Wayne Hunter will be. Lets go Jets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, a 34 year old who has not played for a while is a concern of mine. As you know I admire the Bills after having lived there during their championship runs. But the key which some miss is that it is not the signing of players that is the problem it is the lack of a coherent organizational development plan as to what Rex and hence the team is looking for. You get it, you don't sign underachieving OL men who haven't played in a year when you can sign even a long shot developmental player in his stead. Folks can defend him all they like but Rex even extends this foolishness to his coaching staff. He had several key positional coaches who were woefully inadequate. Rex even hired friends who didn't work hard according to published reports and even drafted a player no one thought should be drafted because he was a friend of an underperforming Sanchez. I wish Rex well but he needs to be firmly directed if he and the Bills are gong t have any long term success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Rex Ryan once got leg tattooed to woo Wayne Hunter 1d Back in 2011, when Hunter was a free agent during the NFL lockout, Rex Ryan took extreme measures to keep Hunter on the New York Jets. According to the 2013 book "Collision Low Crossers," which followed the Ryan-era Jets, Ryan tattooed his leg with a Hawaiian tribal marking to help woo Hunter back. The tattoo apparently means "believe in yourself." This time, all it took for Hunter to rejoin Ryan was a two-day minicamp tryout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
