DeMeco Ryans is grateful to have the bye this week

DeMeco Ryans spoke to the media on how the bye week will help the team reset for the rest of the season.

On how much he thinks the bye week will help the players to reset

DeMeco: The much needed rest, it's here and we're going to take advantage of it. We've been going at it for a long time, going back, we were one of the first teams to start training camp with the Hall of Fame game, so it's been a long time going at it and our guys, I feel like they've handled it really well. No excuses, no complaining about our schedule and where our bye week falls. But right now, it's coming at a great time for us and we're excited to get the rest, relaxation and take advantage of it.

On how important it is to prepare during bye week with a short amount of time to prepare for the next three teams

DeMeco: For me, we have the same amount of time from Miami and for Kansas City. We will get a short week with the Christmas game versus Baltimore so we will look ahead on the shorter schedule there but for the other two games it will be the same amount of time we have typically had to prepare for. We will hit the ground running but we will have time to prepare and have our guys ready to go.
