Excellent, accurate and candid post by a Jets fan.
I was thinking about what content would come out of Belichick's and Kraft's mouths if they were doing a press conference similar to this.
First, they wouldn't do a press conference like this. They would make their personnel decisions behind closed doors, say nothing to the media about the guys they ousted, or anything about who they were bringing on board. The personnel stuff is always done discretely, even when a guy like Randy Moss shoots his way out of town.
When reporters ask about how things would change in New England, it would be the usual drivel about how Belichick is looking at everything - coaches, staff, draft, free agents, players, offense, defense, special teams, blah, blah, blah. How the Patriots would get better wouldn't be this macho Jets crap, it would be getting better at preparing for the next opponent.
Rex doesn't understand his job. His job is not to "attack" opponents, his job is to understand what he could be doing to put his players in the best position to win. Successful game preparation and putting a team together is all about adapting week to week or you become predictable and are done.
Clearly we admire Belichick. I also admire John Fox in Denver. Last season in the middle of a circus, he never made it about him as he adapted his offense to be the best fit possible for Tim Tebow with great success. This year, he adapted to Peyton Manning's strengths, and never made it about himself.
When are clowns like Rex and Woody going to learn to shut up and do the hard work necessary to succeed?
