To me the most important comment was "Read and react is for other people." That's not just talk - that's a specific comment about the way he plans to have the defense play. That is not at all the way Herm and Mangini had their defenses play. I don't know if it will be successful or not, but I don't think there's any question that it will be different.
This is the guy I wanted as HC so I am happy but I will stay calm till I see the product on the field. This guy is saying all the right things though.
He had me at hello! If that was not enough, he referred to his wife as outkicking the coverage. I loved it.
You did not just say that!!! I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing and was going to post it! GTFO of my heeeeeeeaddddd!
"On defense we want to play defense and on offense we want to play offense. BOOM" I'm ready to go out and lay some hits on people. Chad Pennington should be shaking in his boots and Brady may want to take another year off.
First off I can't believe he called out the fans..I couldn't be happier he did that...I like the fact that he thinks they are part of the team. Also I heard Seragusa say that this new DC runs a 4-3 are we switching..i thought the opposite??
i have to admit, the best press conf . ever... he must be posting here becuase he knows everything that we bitch about
I'm catching the replay on SNY right now. I'm pumped! His words are strong, yet said in a humble manner. Rex Ryan, welcome to New York! :beer:
There was more excitement in that press conference than the combined last three years under Mangini. Since this is going to be the bump thread a few years down the line, I'm going to go on record as saying not only is this the right hire... but this is THE GUY. Rex Ryan will lead the Jets to a Super Bowl! I haven't felt this much Green Sunshine since they hired Bill Parcells.
Yawn. Have heard it all before, a number of times over the last 40 years. Let's see performance on the field. Let's see a team play hard and focused for 60 minutes. If that happens, I will begin to think he may be able to do something. Otherwise, its just gums flapping.
