YoloinOhio Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Rex Ryan took exception to Colts owner Jim Irsay's suggestion that the reason Indianapolis sat Andrew Luck was that the Buffalo Bills coach doesn't let up in the preseason. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/17297399/buffalo-bills-coach-rex-ryan-takes-exception-indianapolis-colts-owner-jim-irsay-tweet-sitting-andrew-luck-preseason-game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Which pills were Irsay popping to make him paranoid. He had a flash back to the 2015 season opening beat down and got scared for Luck's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I don't think Rex takes anything "too seriously" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy10 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I would like to explicitly state I think Irsay was high as balls when he wrote that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 So Irsay is critical of a coach who is trying to win, create a winning spirit, evaluate players, and create a tough team? I can criticize Rex for a lot, but not this one. I want our 1's when playing the 1's to go after Manning, Cousins, and Stafford. Not to hurt them, but to create a culture of a hard hitting, get after the QB team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 @mikefreemanNFL What Irsay says is 100 percent true. @joebanner13 We had this concern when eagles played jets in pre season every year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was meant as a criticism so I wouldn't read too much into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I would just like to point out that Tyrod Taylor's time in the game was SO SHORT that it didnt even get recorded on the NFL Channel's replay That is how serious Rex takes preseason games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irsay should stop the whine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) I would just like to point out that Tyrod Taylor's time in the game was SO SHORT that it didnt even get recorded on the NFL Channel's replay That is how serious Rex takes preseason games I think Irsay means he really tries to win the games. He doesn't game plan or anything like that but he will blitz a lot if it's the difference between winning and losing. You could tell a lot of this from the Jets Hardknocks.

I didnt see anything in Rex defense that the colts were not doing? In any event......I would rather the bills work on what they are going to employ in the season.....they need it! If he was so serious about the game, he has Carpenter kick an extra point to send the game to OT and then try to win. Irsay should stop the whine. Actually...this is a good point. A 2 point conversion gets the team off the field so that we dont take on additional injuries A failed 2 point conversion accomplishes the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincec Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Look, when you play a blitz heavy defensive scheme then you have to practice blitzing to get better at it. You play your defense. If the other guys don't like it then tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the other guys don't like it then tough. We would all agree with that We would also agree that in practice you likewise must show restraint though. Now what type of practice a preseason game is- that's where Rex and some coaches may disagree Some may recall the 9ers and saints being at odds a few years back when harbaugh wanted to strategize with Payton prior to the game but the saints coach declined as a similar situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
