For Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Kyle Williams, the offseason usually means going under the knife.

Not in 2015, though, as Williams avoided surgery this time around and is looking forward to another productive campaign.

"This is the first offseason I haven't had surgery in a number of years," Williams told Vic Carucci of The Buffalo News. "I didn't have any procedures this year."

"My arrow's pointing up in all directions. I'm excited about it. I'm excited about the year and everything that's in front of us," he added.

Williams is turning his attention to moving back to a 3-4 scheme under Rex Ryan, something the 32-year-old doesn't feel will hurt the team's run defense.

"I think that what we saw last year is if we can eliminate mental errors, we can stop the run, and we can do just about anything that we want to," he said. "Two years ago, our big problem was the big play. Somebody's in the wrong position, somebody doesn't know exactly what they’re doing, we gave up the big play on the ground."

Without an ideal option at quarterback, Williams understands how critical the defense is to the entire team's success.

"If we can have a dominant defense, if we can get better than where we were last year, it's only going to help the collective," Williams said. "It's only going to help our team win more games."
