It seems easy for Rex Ryan to take shots at former Jets tight end Jace Amaro for his raising of accountability questions.
The Bills coach has painted Amaro as young and perhaps immature, but now a veteran teammate has chimed in, saying there were issues last year.
Via the Seth Walder of the New York Daily News, guard Willie Colon acknowledged that lateness was an “issue” for the team.
“It’s the little things like that, the little things you just don’t talk about,” Colon told Alex Marvez and Ross Tucker on SiriusXM NFL Radio, in an interview on April 10. “You be on time; you be accountable for your actions. . . .
“It’s one of those things where as a pro ballplayer it’s not hard to be there on time.”
Ryan has taken numerous shots at Amaro since the original remarks, far more attention than Amaro has gotten for much of anything else. But having a longtime pro like Colon backing his story helps establish some credibility, especially after Geno Smith missed a meeting the night before a game and still played, while Calvin Pryor missed a meeting and was benched for a week.
