Sorry if this is already up, I searched and I didn't see it.

 

Rex Ryan Weds Presser, highlights by Ty Dunne

 

Rex Ryan must be a pretty smart guy under the brag and bluster. He's too "fast on his feet" (verbally) to be a dodo.

My personal faves:

 

On Belichick saying he'll take his record vs. Rex... I'd take his record, too. I'd take the wins.

 

On if he's ever looked at Belichick's quieter approach and thought 'He has four Super Bowl rings' ... No, I get it. But do you think if we muzzled it, I'd have four Super Bowl rings? If we would, I wouldn't say I word.

 

On Rob Gronkowski...is he as big a challenge as you'll face in the league at tight end? Absolutely he is. His size, his speed, his strength, this just in, he's pretty good. ... We're not going to ask one guy, 'Hey, this is your guy.' Shoot, he'd have to look like King Kong or something. 'You got him! You've got the Gronk!' Put Kong on him. I'm not going to get into how we're going to cover him. On if he's his kind of guy/doesn't care what people think... Of course he is but he's on the other team so you can't stand him. (my personal fave)

 

On if he has learned the Patriots' RB's name... Yeah, Blount. That's who it's going to be. That's who it would've been in Week 1.

 

On players saying they want that challenge of Gronkowski... Oh yeah, everybody does. But here's a common theme thing you'll see. Most secondary coaches that I've ever been around, early in the week, they'll say 'Hey, let's get up on him! Let's press these guys. We'll do this and that.' As the week goes on, it's 'Well, let's back him off a little bit.' And then all you hear gameday is 'Get your ass back!' That's true. (my second fave)

Nice. Thanks for the summary!

Takes a shot at Pittsburgh's pathetic strategy

 

@MikeReiss: Rex Ryan on conference call: (on Gronkowski) "I will say this, it is better to put one guy on him than no guy on him."

 

And this gem, which I love

 

@jeffphowe: Rexy on not muzzling his players: "We're not performing heart surgery or anything like that. This is the NFL."
