LONDON -- We have cro sed the great ocean in order to track the movements of two NFL clubs -- the and -- primed to get it on this .While Jacksonville is aiming to get back on track and salvage coach Gus Bradley's third campaign, Buffalo's 3-3 start is an appropriate mark for a team that underwent a ma sive face-lift last offseason.Like the before them, the are being constructed in the image of Rex Ryan, their pa sionate coach who wants to win division titles with a smothering defense and just enough offense.Soon after hiring Ryan, Buffalo emerged as one of free agency's most aggre sive clubs, signing a batch of playmakers and swinging a blockbuster deal for franchise back .Rex faithfully delivers headlines wherever he goes, but how do his grade out after six games? Let's take a look:The Good1. : Signed as a project under center to a two-year pact with $1.2 million in guarantees, Taylor on Chris We seling's list of offseason bargains for all the right reasons. The former backup hit Buffalo without an NFL start on his resume, but Taylor has emerged as a productive fit for creative play-caller Greg Roman, who knows how to make the most of mobile pa sers. Taylor can do more than run, though, displaying a live arm and completing 70.1 percent of his pa ses. Much of his impre sive handiwork has come with , and McCoy battling injuries. Taylor is optimistic that a sprained MCL won't prevent him from facing the Jags.3. : Only six tight ends have piled up more yardage than Clay, who has performed as advertised in a Roman-led attack that makes use of the position. Clay isn't , but he piles up yards after the catch and sits behind only in receptions among tight ends. He didn't come cheap, but Clay leads the in targets, has 20 more grabs than and sits atop all other Buffalo pa s catchers with 54 yards per game.4. : Left for dead as Carlos Santana Jersey an apocalyptic locker-room evil, Incognito has operated as a road-grading guard for a team that desperately needed help up front. Only and rank higher at the position, per PFF metrics, highlighting an acquisition that bears Ryan's fingerprints. The coach has always had a soft-spot for written-off types, and -- love him or hate him -- Richie has returned his coach's faith with six straight solid outings.The Bad1. The pa s rush:This must keep Rex twisting and turning all night long. After previous defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz led the to an NFL-best 54 sacks last season, this year's squad ranks a dismal 24th in that category with a measly nine takedowns. What's especially troubling is that Mike Pettine, running a similar scheme to Rex, guided Buffalo to a franchise-record 57 sacks in 2013. Football Outsiders still grades the as having the , but and have Ryan's game planning, blaming their lack of production on being asked to float into coverage instead of heat-seeking signal-callers. "If we're going to be dropping, ," Dareus told Yahoo! Sports on Tuesday. "That's just how it is."2. Shady:It's not McCoy's fault that his hamstring was a me s, but Shady has yet to emerge as the starry centerpiece fans salivated over after Buffalo sent linebacker to Philly for the workhorse runner. Trailing Taylor (6.0) and rookie (5.4) in yards per carry, McCoy (3.9) has yet to cro s the 100-yard barrier in a game all season. On the plus side, he looked great against the . Getting him healthy for the stretch run could change the narrative around McCoy, who signed a deal with $26.05 million in guarantees in March.3. On-field slop: No team in the AFC has suffered more big-name injuries (see: Watkins, Sammy). The physical ailments, though, don't outweigh a sloppy start to the year that has Buffalo with 62 penalties -- 12 more than the second-worst . Opponents have gained a league-high 583 yards off -based flags. Nobody else is within 130 yards of that ugly feat, a problem that has haunted Ryan's team weekly. Buffalo hopes to flip the script this Sunday against a Jags club with plenty of its own problems to figure out.*Wake up and watch with the world.
