Mario Williams suggests the Buffalo Bills' personnel doesn't fitBen Grubbs Jersey coach Rex Ryan's defensive scheme, insisting he's simply stating a fact and not intending to be critical.As for whether he is the right fit, the Bills' top pass-rusher referred to how Buffalo's defense has failed to play to its high-priced expectations this season.''A scheme's a scheme, but to say that it's going to produce, we haven't had the numbers,''http://www.saintsofficialonlineshop.com/SUPER-BOWL-BENJAMIN-WATSON-JERSEY Williams said Wednesday. ''There's nobody saying anything that what (Ryan's) doing is wrong. But for what's out there, the personnel might not be the right personnel.''The underperforming defense and Williams' role in it have been a season-long issue, a key reason why Buffalo (6-8) has been eliminated from playoff contention as it prepares to host Dallas (4-10) on Sunday.Buffalo ranks 21st in yards http://www.saintsofficialonlineshop.com/SUPER-BOWL-AKIEM-HICKS-JERSEYallowed and 30th with 20 sacks.That's hardly what anyone expected from a unit that returned mostly intact a year after finishing fourth in the NFL in yards allowed and had a league-leading 54 sacks. It's an even a bigger disappointment to happen under Ryan, the first-year coach with a respected track record as a defensive specialist.Williams' numbers are down. A year after he had aJason Heyward Jersey career-best 14-1/2 sacks, he's managed just four.The issue for Williams is Ryan's system relies more on linebackers and safeties than linemen.''What we're doing ashttp://www.officialcardinalsmlbshop.com/authentic-37-keith-hernandez-jersey.html a defense just has not worked for us this year,'' Williams said. ''Now I'm not saying about the scheme (like), 'Throw it out. It's garbage or whatever.' No. I'm just saying what is what. That's it.''Williams spoke for 15 minutes at his locker in front of a large group of reporters. The crowd eventually included linebacker Manny Lawson and safety Aaron Williams, who craned their necks to hear.Lawson eventually told Mario Williams to stop talking because it was time for them to work out.This isn't the first time Williams has shared his opinions on what's gone wrong this season. In October, he questioned why he was being asked to drop back in coverage, something he's never done in his previous nine seasons. Following a 35-25 loss at Washington on Sunday, Williams wondered why the Bills were changing players even with the opposing offense breaking the huddle.
