Rex Ryan was paranoid the Pats would pay a Buffalo janitor to steal their game plans

[mosi]

Again, it brings up the argument, is BB that good or are the rest of the NFL coaches just dumb. Someone else said it is probably both and I would agree. How many smart NFL coaches are there?

 

[skspikex2]

I'm more baffled that Rex got a playbook...

 

[PatsBoy12]

Why?

 

[The Boston Patriot]

Bills Playbook? We're' talkin' 'bout Bills Playbooks?

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

Why do their janitors have access to the gameplans is the real question...basic security for anybody...

This.

The silly, unserious 'stuff' never ends. I expect Rex is just trying to get headlines and nothing more. However, the larger issue is noteworthy.

From the sidelines coaches shouldn't be shouting their unencoded play out or even openly mouthing it for lip reading. They should as a matter of good coaching be guarding and coding it. Before the snap QB signal calls aren't yelling out "hey WR, just go long, I'll throw the ball over the top to you". The signals are coded. Playbooks shouldn't be posted online so players yet many others would have easy access to them. Coaches and players aren't going on BSPN to outline precise strategy for next week's opponent (unless it is propaganda to throw off the other team). You don't publicize a player has a painful smarting bruise on his thigh (unless you absolutely have to). Etc etc etc.
This is the highest of high level of sports competition with numerous millions at stake for franchises that are 'winners'. Nearly all manners of recon are not only open but if a team is not guarding their inter-workings and strategies, they absolutely aren't doing their jobs. And if you think sports is the only place this is applicable? You need to read up industrial and political espionage.

If the playbook is left unguarded to be seen and studied then it's fair game in competition. A bruise that will slow a player down, a decrypted call/play signal, interpreting a lip read, finding out if the opposing QB is going through divorce or likes to booze it before Monday night games -- all fair game. Anyone who sees that as a problem is living in a pearl clutching world where the sky is a fluffy orange.

F Rex Ryan.

 

[PatsFanSince74]

Silly me.
I misread the Thread Title.
I thought it said "Rex Ryan paid a janitor to read his game plans."

 

[RecoveringCowboy]

How odd a comment/report coming out a day after he joins BSPN

So THIS is what they are paying him for!

 

[Stumpy]

And now sir, I'm in your head.

It's how we beat the Seahawks two years ago, Carroll over thought that fateful play because Bill Belichick gets in your head.

 

[mgcolby]

Was shown on NFLN.

That is pathetic. You know what that screams? Projection! I'm cheating so my spouse must be too!

 

[anditsgood]

So Rex is admitting he has zero in game adjustments, no wonder why his lard ass keeps getting fired

 

[convertedpatsfan]

Some pages made it past the shredder:




Wow, ****ing awesome playcall Rex. No wonder BB is dying to get his hands on more of this...

Geezus ****. Nobody wants your ****ty playbook. Not even your own damn players. Go get a goddamn snack.

 

[BKapatsfan]

That is pathetic. You know what that screams? Projection! I'm cheating so my spouse must be too!

So what you do there is put one of those uncuttable bicycle locks on before halftime.

 

[SalemPats]

This is Rex trying to be in the news. Another dumb BSPN hire and article

At least he finally made it to the Super Bowl, like he promised so many times before...

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

Rex Ryan, concentrate on the game you hippo.

 

[deroc5050]

The scary part is, there is technology out there that can do it (read minds and you wouldn't even know it, I believe government and I would assume people with money have access to this kind of technology but as of now its a dirty little secret.. and a scary one). You gotta wonder what NFL billionares owners are capable of. You would be shocked if you knew what went on behind the scenes. I think anyway.

I could go on in a little more detail but you probably wouldn't believe me. And I don't have any proof that this goes on in pro sports. But I would be surprised if it didn't.

The Patriots stole Rex Ryan's Playboy? Wha? Was there a special "Playmate Toes" portfolio ? Is this repugnant, deviant, fat slob hog/human EVER going away?
