Rex: It's On Me

Joe Giglio — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 06:00:35 +0000

Most of the people who follow the National Football League know how it works with Rex Ryan. He's going to talk no matter what. Win or loss, the Jet coach will have something to say. Coming off of a 45-19 beating at the hands of the then 5-8 Philadelphia Eagles hasn't discouraged the chatter. Heading into the Christmas Eve showdown with the cross town New York Giants, Rex isn't just talking a big game. He's asking for the blame if his team doesn't perform.

Reality Check

Joe Giglio — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 05:56:27 +0000

The New York Jets have two games left in the 2011 season to avenge the disaster that occurred in Philadelphia on Sunday. It's not often that playoff caliber NFL teams lose 45-19 at the hands of a below .500 team. It seems like an even more rare occurrence that a defense like the one in New York gets lit up for nearly 50 points. After watching the 2011 Jets for 14 weeks, maybe it shouldn't be.

Top Of The Class

Rex Ryan has been described in many different ways since taking over as Jet head coach after the 2008 season. Winner, blowhard, insane, genius, fat, overrated, underrated, fraud, future Super Bowl champion, liar and attention hungry. Regardless of what you think of his personality in press conferences and to Hard Knocks cameras, he is undoubtedly the best coach hired in the '08 off-season.

Asmougha The Jet: Best Deal Never Made

Joe Giglio — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 01:40:28 +0000

Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum went hard after one of the most sought after free agents this past summer. The dream scenario would have led to Nnamdi Asomugha signing a lucrative contract to play corner opposite Darrelle Revis for Rex Ryan. When the all-pro decided to take his services to Philadelphia, it was seen as a disappointment. Almost a full season in the books, it doesn't look like that anymore.

Rex Wild For Wildcat

Joe Giglio — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 01:34:14 +0000

The New York Jets offense can get the job done on any given Sunday, but no one around the league would confuse them with the juggernauts in Green Bay, New Orleans and New England. Citing the need for more explosiveness, Rex Ryan wants to make the Wildcat formation a bigger part of the Jets attack in the coming weeks.

Schedule Makers Give Jets Early Christmas Gift

Joe Giglio — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:16:34 +0000

The New York Jets season has been inconsistent and maddening, but still could be destined for a final destination in the postseason for a third straight year. The biggest reason isn't a stout defense, great offense, or opportunistic special teams. Rex Ryan's team might crash the playoff party because of a very favorable schedule down the stretch.

Short Week Creates Obstacles For Jets

Joe Giglio — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 01:15:11 +0000

It seems like everyone has an opinion this week on how long the Denver Broncos run-first/no throw/option offense can be successful in the NFL. From writers to analysts to Darrelle Revis, no one seems to believe in the Broncos one trick pony attack, even if it is led by Tim Tebow. When asked earlier this [...]

Patriots 37, Jets 16: Blame Rex, Not Sanchez

Joe Giglio — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 14:26:18 +0000

There will be plenty of articles and blogs putting Mark Sanchez on blast this morning for a poor performance last night in the Jets biggest test of the season. Don’t count this as one of them.

Fixing The Jets Post Bye Problems

Joe Giglio — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 00:50:33 +0000

"Luck is where opportunity meets preparation." -Denzel Washington

Jets coach Rex Ryan is taking a page out of Herman Boone's book of coaching. Earlier in the week I illustrated how big of an opportunity this next month of games is for the 2011 New York Jets. The first step towards succeeding during this stretch is succeeding out of the bye week. This is something Rex Ryan has failed to do in his first two years as a head coach. He changed his practice approach this week to combat that.

'Make Or Break' Time for New York Jets

Joe Giglio — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 04:39:00 +0000

The 2011 New York Jets fate will be determined over the next month.
