Bills pass rusher Mario Williams is excited about the new defense in Buffalo.

Williams said that as he learns new coach Rex Ryan’s scheme, he sees it as a perfect fit for what he does.

“Understanding the defense, I love it,” Williams told the Buffalo News. “It gives everybody ample opportunities to just do different things and just be able to bring different looks, different angles, and attacks, stuff like that. So I’m ecstatic.”

The Bills’ defense was plenty good last year as well, but Williams thinks Ryan has what it takes to make it better.

“Obviously, with the scheme, with Rex, anything’s possible. So I think right now, we’re just doing building blocks. But the sky’s the limit, so I’m pretty sure there will be a lot of changes and things as we progress and become readapted to a hybrid defense,” Williams said.

Ryan always exudes confidence as a coach. His players are taking after him.
