TJ Rosenthal gives a closer look at what the New York Jets need from their head coach in 2012. Make sure you are following TJ both here and here. And if you didn’t read them yet, check out his interviews with Evan Silva and Connie Carberg.  For three seasons Rex Ryan thumped his chest. Guaranteeing Super Bowls in restaurants, at Knicks games, and hockey games, and probably even supermarket aisles to whoever would listen to him. He’s flipped off fans, and cursed out others at offseason events and halftime tunnels. After an 8-8 crash though, Ryan had to swallow the bitter pill that came from understanding that even WITH two AFC Championship appearances on his resume, some things had to change.

Via NY Sports Nut  |  July 27, 2012
Just a little blurb here. Jets Coach Ryan has been hitting the gym lately. He has lost over 100 pounds since lap-band surgery. I have seen some pictures of him and some before and afters.

Rex Ryan is the best defensive coach in football according to Rex Ryan

Via No Guts, No Glory  |  July 27, 2012
Rex Ryan is a talker. That’s just what he does.

And he has finally broke his silence. Rex Ryan has been relatively quiet this past offseason.
