I'm going to try putting my entire catalog of thoughts on this in one sentence, and then hopefully not address it again: I hate the way that he says the things I'm glad he thinks. 'Bout does for me on this point. I could say more, but I've had my say before, and it's all somewhere in the archives.
gotta love Rex after three years of "It's a process" and five years of "You play to win the game, hello" REX=BEST EVER parcells replacing K----- was the prior winner but Rex has that beat
He can't. The owner told him he could be himself when he got the job. His whole family is a bunch of shit talkers. Bluster is part of his DNA. You might as well ask him to become an offensive coordinator. I sympathize with your outlook, sometimes I just think to myself, 'Rex, for once, just shut your fucking mouth and let the team speak for you on the field. Show some class and show respect for your opponents and the league.' But he did that against the Steelers and the team came out flat. Now I'm just thinking that Rex can do what he does. If it works, don't fuck with it. As long as there's Ws in the wins column, I'm not listening to that internal voice anymore. I watch football to entertain myself. I don't want to turn into champ, where nothing is good enough without a ring. Rex entertains me like no other coach of a sports team that I have ever rooted for. That's got to count for something.
What a great post. Seriously its a sport and a bit of fun its not meant to be serious bizzness - who really gives a fuck what he says.
This is who rex is, he's always going to run his mouth. if they keep going to title games and having chances to get to SBs it will work, if we start missing the playoffs he'll have a ton of pressure on him.
He's always going to have a ton of pressure on him. Because that's when he is at his best. Some guys can't operate without it. I expected him to fold at some point in 2010, honestly. With the foot fetish nonsense, the 45-3 thing hanging over his head, never beating Peyton Manning. I worked with a guy once that would put off every big project until the last minute, because if he knew that he had time to work on something, he'd half-ass it and it wouldn't have been worth the effort. When he had a huge deadline over his head and knew he would be fired immediately if he didn't get it done... he would put out phenomenal work. I never understood how he could do that to himself time and time again, but it's how he lived. Some people are just built differently. What I worry about is when Rex doesn't have a ton of pressure on him. Because his team slacks when that happens.
This is his first guarantee I believe. I have no problem with it, when Rex talks we win. For any Jet fans not happy with his behavior, get over it. This is who Rex has been and will be.
The only way Rex can top himself now is by guaranteeing the Jets are SBXLVII champs before the 2011 season is over.
theres a difference between confidence that your team is going to win and standing up and guaranteeing it. talk is cheap. play the game
You have to be positive, can't worry about what is in the past. Or as they say in your country..."don't look back in an-gah".
rex is starting to look like patrick ewing. hey rex how about we get a season first and then figure out what players we will keep and then we start talking about winning the superbowl. i think someone should ask him at every single press conference if the jets will win the superbowl. then maybe he will get as sick of hearing it as i am.
I wonder if the Pitt game would have been different if Rex didn't spend the whole week fellating the Steelers. The shit talking got them to the AFCCG for the second straight year. Playing it how some of you want him to got the worst tackling performance we have seen from the defense under Rex.
Every week that something controversial wasn't said or if a team related incident didn't happen, the Jets lost. I think you're 100% correct on this one. Its what keeps him focused, which is what keeps the whole team focused and playing well.
Anyone catch NFL Total Access last night? Mayock asked where the story was and then said "Move on" That's why he's awesome. He gets it.
I have no strong opinions either way about Rex's soundbites. The only thing that matters is what we do on the field; everything else is just tomorrow's fish wrappers.
I really don't want to here from Rex about the Super Bowl, maybe he should worry about showing up for the Championship game first!!!
Yet you started a thread about it and riled up the idiot masses that think Rex's bravado negatively affects the team.
