Tyrod Taylor Benched vs. Jets; Bills’ Locker Room Reacts
By Ryan Brennan
The Buffalo Bills’ locker room has been very vocal these past few days, in light of the decisions regarding Rex Ryan, Rob Ryan and Tyrod Taylor.
Many players have spoken out about the recent decisions being made by the Buffalo Bills‘ front office. First they fire Rex and Rob Ryan and name Anthony Lynn the interim head coach, but it didn’t stop there. They proceeded to bench Tyrod Taylor and name E.J. Manuel the starter vs. the Jets.
Let’s take a look at what some of the players have said about the recent quarterback change in Buffalo:
Buffalo Bills. COREY GRAHAM. S. That’s different. Normally you don’t have situations like that but that’s the business side of things. They got their reasons for what they’re doing. We don’t worry too much about things like that. When it’s said and done, you’re going out there, you’re playing the game, you’re trying to play to win. You want to put the best thing you can on film because when it’s all said and done, what you put on film is who you are. So we know we’re being evaluated and we got to go out there and do our jobs.. S
WR. I don’t think it’s fair, but that’s the business part of it. It is what it is. That’s part of the game. There’s money involved and there’s playing involved. That part is the money part and that’s their decision and all we can do is just go out there, play with EJ [Manuel] and win the game.. WR. Buffalo Bills. ROBERT WOODS
LG. I think it’s–you know that’s the business side of things. At the end of the day, it’s a business and people have to make decisions, and we kind of just go with it.. LG. Buffalo Bills. RICHIE INCOGNITO

PRESTON BROWN. LB. I think he’s coming off the best game of his life. He went out there and played exceptionally well. I don’t think he has anything to be upset about. It’s a business decision. He can look at his last tape and show the whole league he played extremely well. I don’t know what that is. They say it’s a business decision and all that. I don’t know people’s contracts or what the reason is, but they have a reason for what they’re doing and they still want us to go out there to win the game. I don’t think it’s anything of that nature. We trust EJ or whoever is playing quarterback to go out there and do a good job.. LB. Buffalo Bills
QB. Buffalo Bills. E.J. MANUEL. QB. I mean, of course any time something like this happens – I know when I was a starter and I got replaced, it was awkward for me. Even coming to practice the next day, it just felt weird. I’m sure it’s a little different for him. At least for me, it was good to get back on the saddle and get a chance to get some time with those receivers and tight ends. It was good for me. I felt real good.
I mean, Tyrod, he doesn’t really show his emotions. He comes to work and tries to get better every day even though he’s not starting this week. His still coming to work and getting better. It’s hard to say how he feels, but he’s a competitor. It’s hard to say. It’s unique. Only one quarterback can play.. QB. Buffalo Bills. CARDALE JONES. QB
