Heels20X6 Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Did anyone get a chance to see Rex Ryan's press conference on the NFL Network where he's introduced to the New York Media? What he said was pretty ballsy and will make for great material if he fails, but you gotta respect the determination he has for turning the Jets' fortunes around. Some of the highlights are here: http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d80e4407b Among some of the things he said (and I'm paraphrasing so I apologize if I'm not exact): - The Jets are coming and they're going to give you everything they've got...and you're not going to be able to handle it. - Made a comment about being a Super Bowl winning team in 2 years when asked by a reporter of "goals" - If anybody takes a run at one of his guys, his guys will take a run at TWO of yours. Compare that to Limp Dick's introductory presser with the classic "It's hard to win in the NFL" attitude and you can see why this team is mired in mediocrity 3 years later....

It's good entertainment but who knows how things will play out on the field. Didn't Gregg Williams promise to break the NFL sack record?

One Jets fan I know said as long as Ryan bring Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs, and Ed Reed along with him they should be okay.
Kingfish Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 One Jets fan I know said as long as Ryan bring Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs, and Ed Reed along with him they should be okay. Maybe David Harris can be the Ray Lewis, Calvin Pace can be Terrell Suggs, and Kerry Rhodes can be Ed Reed?
PastaJoe Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 It's good entertainment but who knows how things will play out on the field. Didn't Gregg Williams promise to break the NFL sack record? I think by sack record, he was referring to how many times he could get fired by a team and rehired by another.
BuffaloBaumer Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Man, it just makes me realize how much of a dead beat loser team we have here...this atmosphere sucks
Mike in Syracuse Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Sorry, the bravado routine doesn't do much for me. Greg Williams was big on bravado, what's he doing now?
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 The Ravens players, the one's on defense were very sad to see him go, but they understood it's the nature of the biz...people are promoted.
Heels20X6 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 Sorry, the bravado routine doesn't do much for me. Greg Williams was big on bravado, what's he doing now? That bravado disappeared the minute he got down to the sidelines and realized he was in over his own head. You won't seem the same from Ryan. That fire and desire that the Ravens D have, they attribute to him. Face it, a hard coach builds a hard team. Our coach looks for guys who try...and the end product reflects that attitude.

Someone should have told him he doesn't have the Bills on his schedule for 16 weeks.
silvermike Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 - If anybody takes a run at one of his guys, his guys will take a run at TWO of yours. Sounds like a recipe for fines, suspensions, and 15-yard personal fouls. Rex Ryan so far has shown he's a top-notch defensive coordinator when he has world class talent, and that he's got a gift for working the New York media. I'm not going to crown him coach of the year just yet, but I do understand why Jets fans are excited.

Our coach looks for guys who try...and the end product reflects that attitude. If you've played any sport at a high level you'd realize just how ridiculous that comment is. A "hard" coach doesn't build anything other than resentment. Do you seriously think if you named Ryan the Bills HC tomorrow that they'd tougher? Look at Coughlin's first few years with the Giants. A coach who knows WTF he's doing builds a good team. No amount of screaming can make up for a lack of physical talent or desire.
stuckincincy Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Baltimore's D had this same attitude under Marvin Lewis and Mike Nolan as well. BAL's front office is second to none.

A coach who knows WTF he's doing builds a good team. No amount of screaming can make up for a lack of physical talent or desire. Have to disagree. The head coach sets the tone. He can set it how he wants. He impacts the teams attitude which is a huge factor in performance. Attitude affects desire. Certainly a hard tone can have a negative effect, but a soft tone can as well. Anyone notice that Vernon Davis performed better after Singletary sent him to the showers? Would DJ have gotten the same results from that player dealing with the problem in a more gentlemanly way? Players that don't respond to "hard" coaching might be a bigger problem than a "hard" coach.
silvermike Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I'd say last year, the worst coach in the league was the hardass Rod Marinelli and the best was the soft-spoken Belichick. Sideline/press conference emotion isn't a good indicator of coaching talent; it's something you pay attention to when you're already doubting the HC.
Wilson from Gamehendge Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 dont know if anyone saw this one... http://www.newyorkjets.com/ *his video message/introduction to the fans. he says..."blah blah blah...but we WONT be one of those bend, but don't break defense." I have liked him for a couple years, thought he would be a good coach. I think he will succeed within time. He has the makings of a pretty good defense there. If he can keep Favre and draft a young guy, get one somehow, I think they will might win the division if Brady is out. New England is declining...quick fast. Not really sure what Buffalo is up to?
lets_go_bills Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 What's he gonna do, come in and say we stink, don't expect much, we have no QB?

I respect a little 'tude...now he and his team get to go out and back it up.
