Rex is fat and lazy and has an appalling lack of self-discipline. And the team, unfortunately, reflects those traits.
If your point is that this team lacks discipline, I'd agree. Where you blow gases out your manhole is when you try to equate that with Rex Ryan being fat. Cite some examples of laziness to support your argument, if you would.
best young head coach in the business defensive mimded head coach...the best kind no other coach i'd rather have light yrs ahead of belicheck at this point in their respective careers... needs to get get rid of schott...his only true weakness...
His number 1 fault that may kill him in NY was falling for Panzy Cali-Boy and thinking he should pick the pretty boy over the guy with a better overall talent ceiling.... And falling for him so hard that they traded picks to move up.
The difference between Rex and BB is that BB is completely involved in all aspects of his team; offense, defense and special teams. That is not "raping coaches of responsibility" but rather taking ownership and accountability of the entire football team. Rex might want to give that a shot and get more involved in the offense.
I agree that Rex needs to be more involved in all phases of the game, but Belichick was working directly from the Bill Parcells Textbook Of Micromanagement. Seemed to work with the offense, at the detriment of the defense. You're good at spinning that stuff though, probably because on the surface it appears that you buy into the Patriots Creed as if it were the Koran and you were a jihadist. Edit: you just gotta love Google Ads...
1) Poor preparation. Team never comes out looking like it is ready to play ball. Even in the games they win, team doesn't get goin untill the second half. 2) Team is undisciplined. Bad penalties, turnovers, stupid shenannigans on the field. NFL HCs have to impose their will on the players sometimes. They may not like it, but thats the way successful teams get successful. 3) If he is involved in personnel decisions, he has done a lousy job, especially for this season 4) The offense has been a disaster all season, and he seemingly has done nothing to address it. Is he the HC, or not? He is not just the defensive coordinator anymore. If that what he wants to do, go do that, but don't be an HC unless you are going to control ALL aspects of the team. 5) Says stupid things, and puts undue pressure on the team by writing checks the talent level of the team obviously can't cash, and doesn't seem interested in changing his methods even a little bit. Hey, its only his 3rd season, but if he doesn't do some self reflection and make some adjustments this off season, then he will not be around much longer.
Yeah well, it's a nice thought, I don't want to find out that my new purchase has a vag full of plastic explosive.
The fact that this thread exists is appalling. We are bashing Rex for 1 bad season? You guys realize Rex has been our best head coach since Ewbank right? I will always have support for this man considering he has brought this organization in the right direction. Who cares about the smack talk he brings. In fact, the smack talking makes us a more recognizable team. I can guarantee fans of other teams wish they had Rex because of his confidence. You want another Herm, Mangini, or Kottite?! Rex has been the best thing to happen for this franchise in the last 40 years. stop whining because we are missing the playoffs this year (probably). We just need a right tackle and safety...relax you drama queens.
So... I guess you didn't bother reading the OP? Let me share with you one of the bolded and enlarged portions that were meant for posts like yours: "Don't get me wrong, I love Rex and he has already done a lot for this team, but he shouldn't be immune to criticism." And it's right. We're in year 3 of the Rex Ryan era, and now we have a valid amount of time in which to evaluate his pros and cons. I don't see the OP bashing the guy, just trying to figure out the faults that cause this team to sputter so characteristically. Try not to homer it up too much. Most of us dig the hell out of Rex. But he is not perfect, he is a work in progress, and will have his share of struggles as a head coach.
What a load of crap! Belichik lets his coaches do their job, and lets them handle their responsibilities. What he doesn't do is hang them out to dry when things go badly. Rex has the kind of great character that allows him to complain about how many passe his team threw after the game, when he simply could have turned to the man, who was standing right next to him all afternoon, and said run the ball! Where is he when the gameplan is put in place? It takes great character to not be involved in it? It takes great character to throw your OC under the bus, especially when you know the fans are pissed and don't like him already. Sacrificial lamb time.
ive said it many times on MANY threads.......i gave up on REX with his lapband...told me everything i need to know about who he is as a man. chose lapbound instead of shutting his f*cking mouth and eating correctly...and moving his fat ass in the world class facilities of the JETS.....Rex is all about the easy way...doesnt like to feel uncomfortable....not an ounce of self discipline.
Talk about load of crap... show one occasion where Rex has thrown anyone under the bus. Even once? The fact - FACT - is that Brian Schottenheimer called 64+ passing plays in that game on Saturday for an offense suited best for overall rushing. And that's not counting the number of passing plays that Sanchez checked out of, which is at least 4 if I counted the number of 'KILL KILL KILL' calls followed by runs on Saturday. 64. That's 6 passing plays short of the record 70 passing attempts in a single game. And, if you'd pause to pull your head out, and understand why Rex mentioned the number of passing plays, something I'm not sure you're capable of, you'd find out that it was in direct response to the question of why so many passing plays were called. And Rex was attempting to reason it out for Jane McManus or Jenny Vrentas or whatever skirt had difficulty phrasing the question. But go ahead and pick and choose whatever out of context quote you can to pretend that Rex has ever thrown anyone - anyone - under the bus, because that's what guys like you do. BTW - Belichick is a micromanager, and any attempt to spin it otherwise makes you a shill. But at least he kept the D competitive while tearing the reins of the offense away from his minions. Heh.
Wow. You make judgments on men based on their eating habits? Like character judgments? Does that mean it's okay to judge you on your pathetic grasp of the English language? Because the lack of discipline you show in presenting your ideas on a medium based entirely on that English language is astounding. What a terrible human being you must be.
i'd like to start off by saying that i am a fan of the trash talk. rex doesn't seem to know much about offense. what makes this worse is that it doesn't seem like his oc knows much about offense either. but he's not going to turn into an offensive guru at this point. he is a defensive minded coach and i have no problem with that. but what does get annoying is the seeming lack of accountability in the locker room. rex seems to just want to be one of the guys. rah rah i have your back 100% and you have mine. not 100% of players actions should be supported. it's not rex's job to support them. he's supposed to coach them. sometimes that means kicking their ass. westhoff is an asshole but you know he has everyone's respect 100%. i wish rex would be more of the same.
I shared your views to a point, but the more mic'd up film and Rex Ryan pressers I watch, and that is a lot, the more I get the man behind the big, cuddly teddy bear that he wants the world to see. I bolded those two words in your post because they are operative. The Jets went Iron Curtain on us during the Mangini years, and everyone wants to assume that this approach went out the window when Rex walked into the building carrying a 2x4 and pissing in the magnolias. Not so, not in the least. The Jets not only hired a defensive prodigy, they also hired a charismatic used car salesman and a propaganda minister. And you can tell that the Jets beat writers are finally figuring that out in the types of questions they will ask him, versus the ones they ask the coordinators. There is far more to Rex than the buddy-buddy (pun intended) facade that we receive in his interviews and pressers. And he knows much more about offense than you give him credit for, he just prefers to devote his attention to his true love. Defense. Plus, the guy detests Dan Leberfeld. How can you not dig that?
yeah, i actually started off the post saying that i don't know much about rex as a person but it got lost as i rewrote my post. i'm sure he's not clueless about offense. he is an nfl coach after all. but it seems more of a hands-off approach. it's not really a fault. not even something i have a problem with, just a casual observation. all in all, i love rex. i was just nitpicking. i think he's done more than enough to warrant a lengthy period of time to get the team just how he wants it.
