Rex Ryan Says Jets Are Planning On Winning The Super Bowl

Already in mid-season form, New York Jets coach Rex Ryan predicted big things Monday for his team in 2010. His bold remarks came in response to a quote from New England quarterback Tom Brady, who praised the Jets' blockbuster offseason and indicated the AFC East won't be a walkover for the defending-champion Patriots. "He's a smart guy," Ryan said in an interview on 1050 ESPN Radio. "As I put it, it's on. We're not afraid of that. We're making sure everybody knows it, that we plan of being the team that wins the division this year." The Jets stole most of the offseason headlines, acquiring big names such as LaDainian Tomlinson, Jason Taylor, Antonio Cromartie and Santonio Holmes. Whether it adds up to a division title remains to be seen, but Ryan, never shy about expressing his opinion, expects the Jets to be a special team. "We know it's going to be a great challenge," he said. "We're working so hard in the offseason. I think we've gotten better in the offseason as far as the personnel is concerned. We added a lot of guys that I think will help us. We have only one goal and that's to win the Super Bowl. And that's what we plan on doing this year."

He said that last year as well. Didn't quite work out for him.

 

Every team is "planning" on winning the super bowl. Even McDaniels(at least in his mind) is planning on winning. But most coaches are smart enough to keep his mouth shut so he doesn't look like a giant butt.

 

I'm "planning" on waking up tomorrow.

 

I'd rather not. lol

 

Good. Now back it up on the field.

I honestly don't like it when people talk smack so far before the season starts. If you're going to make a ripple, do it the day before the game so people still care while you're playing.

 

Ryan just likes to run his fat lips.

 

Then he can put them on my fat hog.

 

This is true.

Dont all coaches at this point think their team is going to win the Super Bowl.

 

I could actually see it with the roster they have right now

 

I'd like to think that every team plans on winning the super bowl. I'm sure there are realistic expectations every year and the better your team gets the more you think it but to say we plan on it....well congratulations....you and everyone else in the nfl.

 

i'd love for a coach to come out one year and say something like...hey lets go 0 - 16 and shoot for the number 1 overall draft pick

 

You bought a Harley?

 

I think Rex has too many ego's to keep in check in New York. Including his own. Will be interesting to see how the Police Blotter thingy and the bulletin board material plays out this year with the Jets. Just stirring the Media pot.
