Rex On His Weight And Overtime


Interesting posts from Bart Hubboch of the New York Post on Rex's post surgery goals:

I just interviewed Rex Ryan here in Orlando. He says he has dropped 20 pounds since his surgery, down to 317. His goal is 250. Rex Ryan expects to lose 5-10 pounds a month. He said the assumed name he checked in under at NYU for the surgery was "Roy Rogers."

I know it's not directly related to football, but I commend the man for making an effort to drop a few lb's. He has started well, and for his health reasons going into the new season and what I hope to be a long reign with him at the helm with the Jets, I think it's quite important. He jumps up and down with the players on the sideline, and sitting at 337lb's he needed to do something about him. So Congratulations to Rex.

He also added his take on the proposal regarding possibly changing the NFL overtime rules:

Rex Ryan says he is opposed to changing the overtime rules. "I like it the way it is."

I agree with him about OT. First off, if your defense can’t stop a team from scoring that’s your problem, not the leagues. Secondly as we’ve already seen there’s no such thing as a Sure Thing FG even from a pro bowl kicker.

Come on Isles! 11-0-0 or 10-0-1 I'm not picky! Playoffs!

I dunno...

I’ve never been a fan of sudden death overtime. I much prefer college—or something similar, only not so close to the goal line.

In a game that’s been a grind, it’s not too bad. (e.g. Two good defenses.) However, in a shootout type game, the team who wins in the coin toss has a pretty substantial disadvantage.

And yeah, field goals aren’t a sure thing and the fact that a lot of teams wuss out and go for the field goal before 4th down is one of the only things that keeps pro overtime somewhat livable.
