Rex Ryan fires back at Channing Crowder
So much for Rex Ryan soft-pedaling Channing Crowder's rant the other day on Ryan's big talk about his new team. In response to Ryan predicting his team would win a Super Bowl at his introductory press conference in January, and then saying he didn't plan to kiss Bill Belichick's Super Bowl rings last week, Crowder bristled to Dolphins reporters last Friday: "Oh, he's going crazy. He's going absolutely nuts. I know it's his first chance to be a head coach, and I know he's excited about life. But, like I said, I've never played a football game in June in my whole life. So congratulations to him. He's the OTA, the OTA Super Bowl winner."
Ryan didn't wait to address the remarks. In fact, in his just-concluded presser following a mini-camp practice - and with his father, former Eagles and Cardinals coach Buddy Ryan sitting in on the press conference - Rex Ryan brought the Crowder comments up before anyone asked.
"I don’t know this Channing Crowder," Ryan said. "All I know is that he’s all tatted up. He’s right about one thing. I’m a first-time head coach, but I’ve been around the game all my life. I'm no different than I’ver ever been, just that more people are listening."
Ryan's take on Crowder saying you don't win in June?
"I think he’s wrong," Ryan said. "You do win in June. You win with your preparation. If I was younger, I’d handle him myself. He’s a good player and all that kind of stuff and it is fun to ruffle some feathers. I’ve got no problem doing that. I’m confident in our football team. I'm confident in myself, the players, the coaches and the entire organization. That’s why I say the things I say. I make no apologies for any of those types of things."
More Rex:
"I know one thing. Our football team is going to be prepared and we're’ going to play our tails off and we’re going to give everything we got. If people have trouble with it, live with it, because it's gonna happen."
Asked if Ryan was providing additional motivation for teams with his boastful comments, he said: "If that motivation is going to get them an edge, if they need that, fine. They're going to get 100 percent of what we have. We’ll see if that’s good enough."
On the Belichick comment about not kissing the Patriots coach's three Super Bowl rings: "I'm nog going to concede anything. I’m not inidimidated by him or anyone else in this business, period. Our football lteam certainly won't be intimidated either. If there are issues with that, so be it."

What a idiot, Ryan is.
The guy has done nothing on his own. He inherited a baltimore
defense and just carried on doing the same old.
Lets see how he reacts to NYs Media when his moves are questioned

Ryan seems self-destructive. I had high hopes for him when hired but the more time that passes the more he looks like the Jets next bad move.
Counting on Sanchez at QB is stupid too. He may be a good QB if he could sit and learn and physically develop for two years but playing him early equals next draft bust.

HERM II?????
Cosmo, Bill, and Strummer's Army. What a bunch of BS. A coach comes in here with a bit of brabado and you guys shrink in either fear or potential embarassment. Trust me, ir Rex can't do the job come Sept I'll be the first one calling him out but if you think that Rex being his own man and speaking with confidence is a bad thing you are wtching and a fan of the worng sport. Try T-Ball. Pansies

There's a lot of echo on this board, but for the first three guys who slam the Rex -
you're all full of it
("... ull of it ... ull of it ... ull of it...)
Considering the Jets have been an NFL joke for most of the past 40 years and the only real swagger that team has had was when Parcells was there, you should welcome this guy. He may suck as bad as his father as a head coach, but he will have them competing and playing hard and you can't ask for anything else (unless you rehire Rich "we were unprepared" Kotite to replace him like he replaced his father.)
All Jets fan are stupid...stupid...stupid...stupid...stupid....man this echo is real bad.
Let's try again...all Jets fans are Losers...Losers...Losers...Losers...
The echo only repeats the truth...
Rex Ryan is the perfect choice...he will bring the team down....hahaha
Can tell your a bunch of stinking jet fans. Dont have the comman sense to post just 1 comment
Rex Ryan is like his Father, Buddy and Kevin Gilbride got into it on the sidelines a few years ago
us New Yorkers like brash confidence, bold predictions,
intimidation , not backing down.
But you better deliver, if it becomes action to match the talk then Rex Ryan will have the key to New York,
and New Jersey for that matter..
As a Jet fan, I think Rex has what it takes, we sure have waited a long time.
Jet fan in Florida,

No harm in talking a little trash, either way the team has to win or he's gonna here it from
the media and fans so at least he's entertaining us during the off season. Plus, maybe some
of the cockiness will rub off on our team, you know the guys that lost the 5 of 6 and walked around between plays with
their heads down feeling sorry for themselves.
oooohhh, the haters are OUT.
Here's the picture:
It's June. The coach gets to stand up at a 'media-day' interview and say whatever he desires about his team.
The team, The Jets, need an attitude adjustment, as nicely noted did indeed lose 5 of their last 6.
And in horrendous fashion.
So:
Pump up the volume, roll out the tackling dummies, get me some mini-camp hits and enjoy!
We've got an old-fashioned quarterback battle coming, a defense that, no matter how much you might not like the talk, will definitely be one of the best in the AFC; we've got a TERIFFIC running game, a great offensive line-get it together guys.
Our coach talking ain't an issue.
Period.
Ryan appears to be a real "talker".
You do not need to be brave or tuff to be a successful head coach.
Look at Belichick. He is probably laughing his ars off over the
comments about kissing his rings.
Usually its the RA RA RA talkers that don't amount to much. Too much balls and too little brains
I ee the Jets at 6-10 this year with a rookie coach and qb and no wr's
Cheers

Ryan/Jets......good
F word/Vikings.......bad
And now you've added Gracias Dinada to your stable?
C'mon buddy....get off the newswires for your blogs.
It's summer, head down to the beaches and find out if Manning is throwin' in the wind.
Otherwise go to Kansas and be Dust in the Wind.

These comments are why guys in Baltimore loved him. The players will play extremly hard for him. Some times you need some one who is not gonna kiss ass. This is why Ravens players wanted him to be head coach. This guy knows how to coach. he's been in the league for a number of years. watch out AFC east the Jets are coming. I'm not a Jet lover being from Baltimore. But I can't wait to see them tear things up
talk is cheap.
Im sorry Rex its to bad that Chowder is gonna work your squad. I will let you know that the Dolphins will win more than they did last year. I feel sorry for whoever is in that path, no im not.
