Football Outsiders has posted some amusing NFL quotes from the last couple of months. They've included some quotes relating to the NY Jets as well:
From Rex Ryan:
"I think with him we'll end up first in the league in defense, and without him we'll end up first in the league in defense. If we get him, great. [But] I'm not worried about him; he's not on our team."
-- Jets coach Rex Ryan's thoughts on the team acquiring free-agent linebacker Adalius Thomas. Ryan coached Thomas in Baltimore from 2001 through 2006. (NY Daily News)
Another from Rex Ryan:
"I'll be honest with you. I'm there to whip somebody's ass. So it doesn't matter who's there, who's not there, whatever. I would love to have our stadium full and the fans going crazy and supporting us. That's what you want. I feel it. We felt the energy from those fans."
-- Jets coach Rex Ryan on the prospect of the Jets not selling all of their Personal Seat Licenses. (NY Daily News)
