Rex gets love from opponents - Jets Blog - ESPN New York
Personally, I thought that the assertion that BB doesn't rest his players was a little misguided. I believe that during the 07 season and other seasons, BB kept the heat on as not to lose momentum and also were still gunning for a particular seeding in the playoffs, but to say that he doesn't rest his players is unfounded.

In the current issue of Sports Illustrated, there's a survery of NFL players, based on the following question: For which other coach would you like to play for?
The winner, in a landslide, is Rex Ryan of the New York Jets. A total of 279 players were polled from across the league, and Ryan received nearly one quarter of the votes. Here's the breakdown:
Ryan, 21%
Mike Tomlin (Pittsburgh Steelers), 12%
Sean Payton (New Orleans Saints), 9%
Jeff Fisher (Tennessee Titans), 8%
Bill Belichick (New England Patriots), 7%
This was interesting...... He also doesn't run a boot camp; he tries to pace players through a season by allowing their bodies to rest. Not all coaches are like that. (See Belichick).
