Joe Namath believes Rex Ryan has been "too darn nice" to the 2-3 New York Jets. The Jets legend said Thursday on ESPN New York 1050's "The Michael Kay Show" by way of Ian Begley of ESPNNewYork that Ryan's lax attitude is one of many reasons the team has lost three straight games. "Rex is Mr. Good Guy to these guys. He has been. He's been talking about how good they are all the time. He's doing everything to win their favor. He bends over backwards for the guys to be on their side," Namath said. "It might work in the long run, I don't know," he added. "I just think he's been too darn nice to this team." "These guys aren't as smart as they think they are," Namath said. "They're making too many penalties; they're busting too many assignments. They just haven't been focused the way you need to focus to win consistently in the league." "We've lost three in a row and if it wasn't for Tony Romo it may be a 1-4 record. That game (a 27-24 win over Dallas), thank goodness we won, but it wasn't a particularly great effort," said Namath, who led the franchise to its only Super Bowl win. "They need to come out and play some really sound football and we haven't seen that yet." Source: The Redzone
If I hear from this bum one more time I'm going to head butt a butter knife. I mean really. I know wishing death on someone is foul so I'm not going to do that. But I will say that once this man kicks the bucket I will smile a bit on the inside.
football is different nowdays. coaches that scream and yell will not make it anymore. you have to kiss the players asses now to get them to play. Joe needs to take another drink and shut up.
I would have also. just not get drunk first. kinda turns women off when you do that. Suzy gives me low blood pressure. And so does Rachel Nichols.
He has a point sort of. Ryan runs a loose ship and it's very easy for this kind of crap to happen under that kind of watch...
