Ohio State. Adolphus Washington. 51. player. 16. <p>Rex Ryan has never feared giving players a second chance in their football lives, especially if they have talent and ability to offer. Look at his history as a head coach and it’s replete with notable malcontents like Santonio Holmes, Braylon Edwards, LaRon Landry, and Sheldon Richardson among others. All seemed to excel under his watch.</p>
<p>The Buffalo Bills are in a transition state. Their defense was a 4-3 for years and only now have begun the switch to a 3-4 under Ryan. It hasn’t been perfect and will take another off-season of additions before they find the right personnel to fit the scheme. One area they could use help is the defensive line, which hasn’t adapted well to their new responsibilities.</p>
<p>That is why the Bills take a chance on Adolphus Washington. Despite recent run-ins with law enforcement (solicitation) he would make for a great fit in that defense. He’s got length and size to spare, making him a stout run defense and couples it with an explosive lower body, giving him good quickness off the snap and allowing him to shoot gaps and create havoc in the backfield.</p>.
