I doubt it was Belichick's respect for Rex but whatever makes Ryan happy I suppose

Memo to Rex: as difficult as this may be to fathom, it's not all about you.


If you want to read everything Ryan had to say today - he took full advantage of the opportunity and talked for 75 minutes to the media - here is a link to his 2,600 words of wisdom: Rex Ryan, Jets coach, talks about Bill Belichick, Wes Welker, AFC Championship game loss to Steelers - NYPOST.com

Personally I'm hesitant to click on the link and see what he had to say for two reasons. First, the more people read that stuff, the more the media loves that increase in readers, and as a result the more likely they (the media) will portray Ryan favorably.

Second, earlier today the writer of this article said "31 coaches showed up for the NFL media breakfast. Only exception: Belichick. Once again, Bill acts like the rules don't apply to him. ... I hear Belichick had a legit excuse for his no-show today. He was busy studying illicit videotape of opponents' defensive signals."

So I don't really want to give him the benefit of hits to his article, but I do want to make Ryan's full commentary available to those who might be interested. The link is there, I'll leave it up to each individual to decide whether or not they want to read it. If I find another link to everything Ryan said I'll replace it.

I believe it was out of professional respect for the coaching profession in the NFL, not necessarily Coach Ryan.

The thing is that there are few if any coaches with the lack of morale like Rex Ryan so in reality...its Ryan ahead of the other 31 coaches by a monster mile in terms of coaches that are laughable and made fun of.

He is a coach in the NFL and measured by his success to date is a very good
one. I don't particularly care for his personal life and demeanor but I am sure
that he isn't the only coach that rubs (pun intended) opposing fans the wrong
way. As far as morals and coaches, I would believe that you are way off base
assuming that he is alone in the "few if any" category. You must be new to
football if you believe that.

he's a blowhard, but his approach is so obvious to try and take media light off all his players, which i believe they appreciate.


it's worked pretty well up till now aside from not winning the superbowl, his team has been quite good in the playoffs

of course, they've got some problems possibly if there's a cap this year

Rexy is partially right. BB did not like Wes' veiled referencing of Mrs. Rexy with his repeated foot references. That's why Wes was benched. It was a benching that would have happened no matter the coach so in that sense Rexy is wrong. It wasn't about Rexy being personally respected by BB. It's all about the profession of NFL coaching being respected by BB.

While there may be coaches with lower moral than others,Rex stands out from the crowd because of his media activity and his 'loudness' compared to other coaches who may be similar but are much quieter about it.

It wasn't about Wrecks at all, it was about Welker violating a team directive. Wrecks is a narcissist.
