Rex Ryan Cries to Team During Meeting

The emotional side of Rex Ryan came out Monday at the Jets’ morning meeting. Ryan gave a speech to his players and ended up crying. After a 3-0 start, the Jets have dropped five of six and are currently 4-5 with slim playoff hopes. Ryan is an emotional guy and cried after the Jets beat Houston in week one, his head coaching debut. He also traded barbs with Channing Crowder of the Dolphins and has been very vocal with the fans and media. The Jets have been very disappointing in their last six games and their 3-0 start is a distant memory.

“He didn’t bash us at all. He was just very emotional. He was crying,” Damien Woody told The New York Post. “Rex believes in our team so much I can’t even put it into words and it would be a shame if we didn’t capitalize on our opportunity.”

The Jets have played several “Super Bowls” this season and this week will be another as they travel to Foxborough to face the first place Patriots. A Jets’ win narrows the Patriot’s division lead to just one game.

“I was a little upset to see him that way,” Darrelle Revis told The New York Post. “I’m upset for the same reasons he’s upset.”

The Jets are playing the Patriots at the worst time. The Pats and head coach Bill Belichick were embarrassed last week against the undefeated Colts when they decided to go for it on fourth-and-two on their own 28 yard line with around two minutes left and didn’t convert. Knowing Belichick, he’s going to want to beat the Jets by 50 to feel better about his gaffe. 

Nine games into the season and we’ve seen several difference sides of first year head coach Rex Ryan. The Jets will need to give their best effort to contend with the Patriots in week 11.
