\"Geno<\/a>Geno Smith spoke to the media today and here is what he had to say about the Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n

On whether he\u2019s talked to Rex Ryan about Buffalo\u2019s defense\u2026<\/b>
\nYes, so I\u2019ve talked to Rex and they play a similar style to us. (They) like to attack the quarterback. They\u2019ll try and confuse me and send some looks I probably haven\u2019t seen before. But for the most part, watching them on tape, they do mix it up. Multiple fronts. Multiple blitzes. It\u2019s going to take some extra preparation. I\u2019ve got to be able to see it out there on the field, see everything clearly. I\u2019ve been watching a ton of tape. I\u2019ll be here all night and tomorrow watching tape. So, I\u2019ll be prepared for it.<\/p>\n

On whether it has any meaning going up against E.J. Manuel\u2026<\/b>
\nIt\u2019s about the Bills and the Jets. That\u2019s it. I know the storyline\u2019s going to be two rookie quarterbacks competing, but at the end of the day it\u2019s about this team. It\u2019s about us going out there and winning the game as a team.<\/p>\n

On whether he got to know Manuel during the draft process\u2026<\/b>
\nYeah, we talked a little. He\u2019s a great guy.<\/p>\n

On whether facing the team\u2019s defense in practice will prepare him for facing the Buffalo defense\u2026<\/b>
\nYeah, I think that\u2019s already helped me. Seeing those fronts and the blitzes and the looks that I got up in Cortland and my time here was beneficial in many ways because it made me process things faster. It allows me to go out there on the field with a ton of confidence knowing that if you can move the ball against this defense, which is a great defense, then you can go up against anyone.<\/p>\n

On finishing drives and scoring when the offense gets into the redzone\u2026<\/b>
\nYeah that\u2019s a big emphasis, us finishing drives. In our first two games we were able to move the ball pretty well, but got into the redzone, got some opportunities and kind of stalled a bit. All it takes is a little bit of extra focus down there. It could be me just reminding guys, \u2018Hey, we\u2019re in the redzone, let\u2019s punch this thing in.\u2019 We\u2019re definitely going to emphasize that. We want to score more points. We can. I believe we can be an explosive offense and it\u2019s going to take all 11 of us on the field.<\/p>\n

On whether his ankle is back to 100 percent healthy\u2026<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s getting there day-by-day. Not quite 100 (percent) yet, but it\u2019ll be there soon.<\/p>\n

On how to avoid forcing throws when the game is on the line\u2026<\/b>
\nYou\u2019ve got to do it. You can\u2019t have those mistakes. You can\u2019t have those turnovers and regardless of whose fault it is, it can\u2019t happen. The way to avoid it is to emphasize it in practice (and) to stick to your fundamentals when you\u2019re out there on the field. Just go out there and play aggressive, but at the same time be mindful of the situation. I think down there in the redzone, I could\u2019ve maybe tucked the ball and ran instead of trying to fit it into a tight window. Keep three points on the board (and) just managing the situations, continuing to stick to my fundamentals and just going out there being aggressive and having fun.<\/p>\n

On if him running the ball is a goal of his moving forward\u2026<\/b>
\nMy goal is to take what the defense gives me. I do have the ability to run. In those times, if need be, I got to tuck the ball down and run. Along with that, comes not turning the ball over, not making mistakes and also giving us a better opportunity. We may pick up a first down or we can get extra yards for the kicker<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
