Week 2 talk is already starting - Extra Points - Boston.comAnd now, despite the fact that the Jets still haven't played their Week 1 game, coach Rex Ryan isn't tiptoeing around what's ahead. Remember all that talk about not being scared of the Patriots last year? Same deal this time around, even with his Jets putting a bull's eye bigger than Rex's belly on themselves.
"Doesn't matter, because we're putting a target on your team," Ryan told Michelle Tafoya as part of ESPN's Sunday Conversation. "And the target you put on our back isn't anywhere close to the one we're putting on you, and that's it. We're here on a mission to win a Super Bowl, and we're not here to make friends.
"Bill Belichick is a way better coach than I am. There's no question. But I'm not afraid of him, or anybody else. I know I'm a great coach. But more importantly, I know the people in my organization, our organization, are as good as there is. I'm set up to succeed because of the people around me."
Question: how good are the Bengal's D when compared to the Jets D?
I expect the Jets D to be as aggressive as they were last year and wonder if Brady can get this much protection against the Jets. Granted, we have more tape on the Jets D and so will be better prepared but still...
Thanks,
Since they will be compared by some Pats fans for the rest of their careers, I think it is safe to say McCourty won the "who was the better draft pick?" battle with Dez Bryant in the first game of their careers. Just for those keeping score.
Obviously the Jets D is a lot better but I really love the fact that we have all these weapons....They are so confident in Revis vs. Moss 1 on 1 and Cromartie will probably try to cover Welker is my guess unless they stick the rookie kyle wilson on him....That will leave our TE's and Edelman/Tate to make some big plays....If they blitz a lot and have man coverage on the outsides and we hit a pass it has a chance to be a TD everytime if they want to get really aggressive....
I'm not conceding anything to Revis. Moss is fired up right now for all kinds of reasons, and I expect him to be at least as productive next weekend as he was yesterday. His route running yesterday looked much sharper to me, and that RAC yesterday was unusual compared to past years. He's doing more than just streaking downfield.
