Default Ryan allegedly "extremely concerned about Pats espionage"

Anyone caught this? It appears in the very end of the CBS story today:

Patriots prove they're best team in NFL, let alone division - NFL - CBSSports.com Football

============

There was a report Ryan was extremely concerned about Patriots espionage, even in the Jets' hotel in the New England area. So concerned, he asked his players to bring their playbooks to team meetings so potential spies couldn't steal them from the players' hotel rooms. CBSSports.com was able to confirm the story from a former Jets player who added that Ryan made a similar request of his players last year when the Jets traveled to New England.

============

I needed something to bring me back to earth (and get back doing somethign productive at work), and this did it.

Fuming now and hope it drives BB mad enough to get no defeats for another five years.

He was just laying in a stockpile of excuses to shift the blame for losing. Ryan is a pro at adopting the "victim's" mantle.

He also asked the players to bring all their snacks to team meetings, but that was for more personal reasons.

Jay Glazer tweeted about this yesterday.

Matt Bowen also wrote about this as a common practice last week:

Quote:
Let’s start with playbooks. You don’t think those find their way into the hands of opposing players? I saw plenty of offensive playbooks during game weeks in my career. Printed, stapled and handed out to the defense. Magically they appeared in our meeting rooms, complete with route schemes, exotic plays and top concepts.

Sure, you can get some of that from the film, but it still an advantage to see the depth of the routes, blocking schemes, etc. that are coached by your opponent. The ideal study guide.

Game plans—left behind in the hotel. Everyone has a “guy” that will scour over the visiting teams hotel room before the cleaning service has a chance to get in.
'Cheating' in the NFL goes beyond the camera - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

There's probably a long list of precautions BB and his team take on the road as well, but they don't go blabbing to the media so they can go all bogey man about it.

He should be more concerned with extreme Jets suckage

It's a nonstory. The Jets got their asses kicked ON THE FIELD. No ifs ands or buts about it.

These teams have swapped players (Crable, Woodhead) this year and in prior year - I am sure intel has gone back and forth.

There are no secrets in this league - the Jets know what the Pats run and vice versa. Ryan should've spent more time worrying about execution and less about shenanigans.

Oh, please, you'd have to be an absolute idiot NOT to worry about stuff like this with ANY team.

But because it's us, I guess it's now newsworthy. And it also makes it seem like its unusual. I HATE the media.
