"First game as an NFL pro," Darby said. "Just adjusting to the game speed, tempo, understanding things. First piece is the game, got it under my belt, so I'm just going to continue to get better each week."
"We'll conduct business if business is being done to us, but you don't want a pillow fight," Ryan said. "You want to compete. It should be a higher intensity level when you're going against an opponent."
PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills rookie Ronald Darby had a tough NFL debut on Friday.
"Very grounded, takes care of business off the field and that's all you can ask for," Bills wide receiver Marquise Goodwin said. "As long as he gives his best when he's out there, he'll get better each day."
"It was a lateral move and a lot of guys left,NFL Jerseys Supply, didn't they?" Ryan before adding, "I wonder why that is. Any time you've got a new GM, it's like 'Get out'."
"We're very similar," Ryan said. "Even to the same slogans and things we picked up that we all believed in."
Buffalo is dealing with injuries after Friday's loss. Ryan said defensive tackle Jarius Wynn might be lost for the season after a "serious" ACL injury,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, and called the injury "devastating" to both the Bills and Wynn.
"You throw him to the wolves and that's no easy thing,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys," Ryan said. "He did get a little baptism by fire and things, but I like the way the kid's responded."
However, coach Rex Ryan loves his cornerback's response.
Darby started with the first unit because of an injury to Leodis McKelvin,Cheap Jerseys From China, and he was picked on by Carolina in the 25-24 loss.
And Ryan's going against a kindred spirit in Pettine.
The game reunites Ryan with his good friend, former Jets defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, who's now the head coach of the Browns.
Ryan is ready for the pair of practices, and Pettine has said they won't be a "pillow fight", and Browns linebacker Karlos Dansby promised "fireworks".
Darby knew it wouldn't be easy to adjust to the NFL, but says his confidence is far from fragile after his spotty start. And his teammates have been impressed by the rookie.
Buffalo added kicker Dan Carpenter to the active roster, moving him off the active/non-football injury list.
The second-round pick out of Florida State was late turning around in being beaten on Kelvin Benjamin's TD catch. Darby had solid coverage on Ginn's 38-yard catch, but was beaten by Cam Newton's perfectly placed pass.
Ryan also said running back Bryce Brown has a minor hamstring injury and may not play on Thursday,Wholesale Jerseys China, though wide receiver Percy Harvin should debut for the Bills.
Pettine left New York to take the same position with the Bills last season, and Ryan understands his friend's decision.
Darby will have another new experience Monday,Jerseys Cheap, when Buffalo will host the Cleveland Browns for two days of combined practices before Thursday night's preseason game in Ohio. |
