Ryan oozes Confidence

Not sure how many of you managed to catch Rex Ryan's segment on the Michael Kay show today but even in times of struggle he still oozes the confidence of a Muhammed Ali. Which is a great asset to have, because like Ali, after being knocked down, he is going to have to come out fighting

There really wasn't anything cutting edge discussed today as part of the segment. He basically went over some of the questionable calls. Why he didn't take Mark out, why Sheppard was benched, why he challenged the punt return etc etc

However after he hung up, I was filled with a new found sense of confidence. Something that I needed after being as close to the green cliffs as possible. If the NYPD are looking for a new negotiator, they should probably give Rex a call.

The overriding message is: "Everything Is Going To Be Just Fine"

There were no promises of big wins, Superbowl guarantees with White House visits. He said that he believes that this team can respond, that it can win with a rookie QB. He mixed the perfect amount of confidence with the right restraint.

One step at a time, easy does it, not so fast.

If only confidence kept players healthy

Not sure if all the confidence in the world will put us over the top now. I still think Ryan is right for NY, more than Sanchez or most of our acquisitions, Ryan’s presence could pay off in the long term and I hope the Jets don’t have a knee jerk reaction with him.

To an extent

I agree with you, but you can usually spot when it’s an act, like Mangini last season, he said the same things, but I didn’t believe him. Ryan truly believes in what he is selling. We have had some tough weeks, some of the toughest. However I still believe in Ryan, and I still believe in the players. We just need to cut this losing streak down at the knees right now, and then move on. Like Rex said, ‘one game at a time’.

I like a coach with confidence

but Mangini oozed confidence as well. If you’re behaving like everything is okay, while your team is struggling mightily, I think it’s just an act.

it's not that bad

we still have plenty of playmakers on defense.

if the offense can get going, and if we can stop getting penalties, we still have a great season ahead of us.

and the home of the... JETS!!!

I cant remember the last time we came back from the raiders with a win.A victory in the black hole will go a long way towards filling my heart with joy!
