Rex Ryan redux

File for Freezing Cold Takes but Rex could be great for the Jets. He'd bring energy and fun to a lockerroom that needs it after going through Rodgers drama for 2 years

 

The crux of his failure here was shoehorning his 3-4 scheme onto a team who's big name defensive players were suited for a 4-3. Don't have to worry about ruining a great defense here! On the other side, they'll likely be looking for a QB so an Anthony Lynne scheme (Rex's most likely OC choice) that showcases Breece Hall wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

 

Rex showed with us that he's got far too much pride to give up whatever version of the 34 or 46 he's married to.

 

Modern NFl defense seems like a coke binge, where you're either:

 

1. Playing some form of two deep shell with crazy coverage disguises.

2. Firing off Cover 0 blitzes like you don't give a *****.

 

Rex has lots of free time, so he thinks up the perfect defense for every look, down and distance.  It's just no team will ever have the time or brainpower to learn and implement them all.  I remember how his whole scheme fell apart when opposing teams used this secret weapon called "hurry up".

Rex's defenses require an Ed Reed or Ray Lewis type player who can process it all and get everyone on the same page. 

 

His defenses are insanely complex. That's part of the problem. 

 

He's a bit of a mad scientist drawing up all sorts of lines all over the board with tons of "if this happens do ____, but if this other thing happens do _____"

Tom Brady completely dicing us up in week 2 of 2015 and week 4 of 2012 was a master class in QB play. Absolutely destroyed us. 

 

The 12 game was like 6 straight TD drives in the second half lol. 

 

So glad Allen got payback in 20 and 21 

 

The absolute joy I got from the December 2020 game vs bellicheat and Allen's perfect playoff game, 7 tds, 7 possessions, zero punts, no tos, kneel down was incredible. 

 

Allen eviscerated the bellicheat defense

LOL 

 

So true... I imagine being the player who has 5 possible assignments on this play depending upon what happens pre-snap, then 3 different options post snap but forgets to get out onto the field because he's running the scenarios through his head on the sidelines over and over

The one thing I can say about Rex is he is the perfect type of coach and guy for the New York Jets organization. Like two peas in a pod. Will it work, I highly doubt it but they might not have too many candidates willing to jump at that job.

Exactly....it's hard enough for our guys to learn and master McDermott's elaborate disguised zone.  Please Baby Jesus let Rex return.  Guaranteed 2 wins every season.

Has bringing back an old, previously successful coach for a franchise ever helped a team win a SB?

 

The Raiders brought back Art Shell, then fired him after a year.

 

The Raiders also brought back Jon Gruden, but he accomplished nothing.

 

The Colts brought back Ted Marchibroda, and he got them to the playoffs once (all the way to the AFCCG) & was done after that.

 

The Redskins brought back Joe Gibbs, and he at least got them to the playoffs twice, but the other 2 seasons finished last in the division.

 

During the drought, the Bills brought back Marv as a GM, and I remember a LOT of people on the old BBMB were hoping he'd come back to coach (thankfully, he didn't). I'm sure there are others, but I can't think of anyone who actually had more success in their 2nd run than in their first.

We have to at least hope it works in hockey.

Only one way to find out...

 

Time to bring back Dick Jauron...

Haha…and oddly enough, I think it does.  It’s crazy how absurdly incestuous the NHL coaching fraternity is.

 

[ProcessImproverMan]

If the Jets bring him back, the Bills should bring back the Jills to show some feet to get Rexy all distracted and off his game (Ryan has a foot fetish Wes Welker made fun of)

Totally full of bullshite!

 

Ideal for NY! 
 

He was a total clown in Buffalo.
 

Loved that meme of him & his useless brother going over the Falls!

I've been listening to WFAN the past hour & the host, Joe Benigno, has spent the entire 10-11 AM hour begging Woody Johnson to rehire Rex Ryan.  He's saying Rex is the 2nd best coach in Jets history and how great a defense he had.  When someone brought up his time with the Bills, Joe's answer was "he didn't have Josh Allen". Well, the Jets don't have Josh either & they either have to wheel out Rodgers next year or start some backup or a rookie.  

The worse the Jets get the more entertaining it is listening to WFAN.  It was too bad this week the Giants stole most of the Jets time on WFAN with their QB moves.

Sports talk guys aren't the people you want making these decisions.

Might actually be an improvement long-term for the Jets

[BillsFan130]

Rex is such a good sales man, I hope he persuades his way to this job lol.

 

What a disaster hire that would be for the jets

Nah. As bad as things are, they can get even worse.
