Joe Caporoso - I hate to reiterate what most of our writers are saying but how could you not look forward to Rex Ryan’s defense versus Brian Schottenheimer’s offense? Without question a low point in a year full of them would be to watch Schottenheimer hang a 35 spot on Ryan. Considering how much crap Schotty took while he was here and how much pride Rex takes in his defense, it would be an ultimate gut punch to this organization. You can bet on Rex throwing the kitchen sink out there this week and likely playing more aggressive than usual. Are the Jets up to representing their now beleaguered head coach against a very average offense? Or will they let the humiliation continue? Chris Gross - Match Up: Rex Ryan’s Defense vs. Brian Schottenheimer’s offense – Everyone has been talking about the eagerness to see Mark Sanchez face the Rams defense, for the world seems convinced that Sanchez’s former tutor, now Rams Offensive Coordinator, Brian Schottenheimer will have the exact script nec...

Rex Ryan Reportedly Cried in Front of Jets Players Following Team’s Loss to Seahawks

The Jets continue to reinvent rock bottom every week, and it certainly seems to be taking quite the toll on head coach Rex Ryan. ESPN.com reports that Ryan actually broke down in tears following his team’s 28-7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, at least according to some of his players. “In his postgame address to the team,” ESPN.com’s Rich Cimini writes, “Ryan got...

Debate: Rex Ryan as Patriots Defensive Coordinator in 2013?

It seems impossible, but for the sake of fun, let's not rule it out. Would you want Rex Ryan to come to New England to coach the much maligned Patriots defense? Would Rex want to do that? Would Belichick?  These are the questions we at PatriotsLife had some varying opinions on. Here's a recap of our e-mail debate. Be sure to chime in with your thoughts in the comments section...

Rex Ryan Calls Anonymous Jets Players 'Cowardly'

Rex Ryan spent the morning with his team addressing anonymous players talking trash about one another in the media, Conor Orr of the Newark Star-Ledger reports. "We're not going to say 'Hey this is what we're saying to the media, this is what we're telling everybody,'" Rex Ryan said. "We're not always going to be lined up ... we're going...

Ryan stands by Sanchez, no QB change planned

Ryan: Anonymous Tebow attacks could unite team

Rex Ryan is no dummy, and so after he read off the Jets' injury report at his press conference Wednesday, he grinned at the reporters and into the glare of the television cameras crowded into the media room at the Jets' training facility. "Fire away, let's go," Ryan said. "Ask the questions you want to ask." An awkward silence ensued. "I...

Rex Ryan Defends Jets Beleaguered Offensive Coordinator Tony Sparano

Despite the Jets offense being ranked 30th in the NFL, coach Rex Ryan and offensive coordinator Tony Sparano both said they see signs of improvement. The Jets failed to score an offensive touchdown in Seattle last week and have scored six touchdowns total in seven of their nine games. Even with those struggles, Ryan said he is happy with the job Sparano has done in his first season...

Pete Carroll feels bad for Jets' Mark Sanchez

Pete Carroll knows a little about the media pouncing on their prey. He took every attack the Boston media threw at him while he was head coach of the New England Patriots. After his dismissal from New England, he went back to sunny Southern California and built a powerhouse USC program that turned him into an icon in those parts. Carroll also knows young quarterbacks and Mark Sanchez...

Who is to blame for the New York Jets turmoil?

Sunday’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks put the final nail in the coffin for the New York Jets 2012 season. The Jets are much closer to earning the No. 1 draft pick than they are to earning a spot in the playoffs. This is very far to fall for a team that was one game away from the Super Bowl just two seasons ago. There are plenty of theories about who is the root of this fiasco....

Rams' Schottenheimer set to face former team

ST. LOUIS (AP) Brian Schottenheimer is trying to treat the St. Louis Rams' game against his former team, the New York Jets, this weekend as just another game. "I want to win because it's the next game and we need to get to four wins," the Rams' offensive coordinator said. "It's fun to compete against your friends, but (the games) are all the same....

Seahawks crush Jets 28-7

The Seattle Seahawks (6-4) beat the New York Jets (3-6) 28-7, this past Sunday at CentruyLink Field from Seattle, WA. As soon as the Jets told media before this game saying they were going to make the playoffs, but that likely won't happen now as they got crushed by Seattle. It's time for Rex Ryan to pull Mark Sanchez from the starting QB position, although it is unlikely...

Shonn Greene denies that he wants Mark Sanchez to be replaced

New York Jets running back Shonn Greene did not have many nice things to say about teammate Mark Sanchez during his interview with Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports on Wednesday, but at least he attached his name to the quotes. Greene said he felt badly for Sanchez, but it seemed clear that he believes the Jets need to give Tim Tebow a shot given their 3-6 record with Sanchez starting...

It's Safe to Say The Jets Won't Make The Playoffs

It was funny to hear members of the New York Jets say they will make the playoffs last week. If this past Sunday was any indication, it's safe to say the Jets will fall short of making the playoffs for the second straight year. The Jets got blasted by the Seattle Seahawks 28-7 in the Pacific Northwest, dropping them to a 3-6 record and three games behind the New England Patriots...

Jeff Fisher says Jets' receivers have been 'unfairly criticized'

Not many quarterbacks in the NFL have less to work with than New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, which is why he's been given an unprecedented amount of slack during his tumultuous 2012 season. After losing Santonio Holmes for the season to a Week 4 injury, Sanchez's No. 1 target has been second-year slot receiver Jeremy Kerley, who has actually been really good. But...
