Rex Ryan knows a false start to the season could end his tenure long before Week 17. Mike Tannenbaum and the rest of his yes-men can't save his skin now.
If last week's declaration that David Harris is the most underrated player in the NFL is any indication, Rex Ryan will be as bombastic as ever this season -- mostly because he's right.
"I look forward to the old-school aspects of training camp. It's just us. We're trudging through the challenging days together and we're going to come together as a team."
What would training camp be without Rex Ryan shooting off at the mouth? Love him or hate him, he's always good for a bold statement every, oh, day or so.
The New York Jets are doing away with paper tickets for season ticket holders, while offering those fans a rewards plan for showing up regularly and behaving properly.
As the Jets head to Cortland for training camp this week, questions abound related to the specifics of general manager John Idzik's offseason retooling. For instance, is Eric Decker really a No. 1 receiver? And where did all the corners go?
Rex Ryan's job could be in jeopardy if the Jets fail to make the playoffs for the fourth straight year. But he doesn't think that'll be an issue. Neither do his players.
A backup QB -- albeit an ultra-popular one -- was tops in jerseys sold. There was a Manning, but it wasn't Eli. The 10th best-seller didn't even belong to a player.
Rex Ryan often gets singled out for what is perceived as an over-the-top cockiness. DeMario Davis simply calls what his coach has confidence -- and says it's something the Jets have to a man.
Since the glory days of Broadway Joe, finding a franchise quarterback has been an elusive and often frustrating undertaking for a team that has rarely had a dominant player at the position.
Rex Ryan is no longer the emasculated head coach of the Jets, neutered by the talk of being fired. The guns are blazing and he's a little cocky again – though he likely would call it confidence. Either way, his team will need him that way.
New playmakers, fresh-faced rookies and a rejuvenated Rex Ryan. They all have the New York Jets feeling pretty optimistic heading into training camp, with their sights set on ending a three-year playoff drought.
Rex Ryan expects the Jets to do something special this season. And he says his nemesis in New England -- Patriots coach Bill Belichick -- should be thinking along those lines, too.
The Jets have much to accomplish this camp. If they get it done, Rex might just have a shot at sticking around.
"I believe we're a lot better than that. 8-8 would be a hell of a disappointment for us. I'm just telling you that I believe this team is on the cusp of doing some special things ... I'm confident we will be a playoff team."
The New York Yankees are the most valuable North American sports franchise, but sit behind three world renowned soccer powers in the global rankings.
Johnson reportedly wants out of Houston. But don't expect the Jets to make a play for the All-Pro wide receiver. At least not yet.
In 1982, Lyons decided that he was going to make a difference. He did so the same way he played football: with passion, and by following the simple premise that actions speak louder than words.
Andre Johnson has reportedly asked Houston for a trade, and though the Texans sound like they are not interested in moving the future Hall of Fame wide receiver right now, the suitors are already lining up.
One week he's called the worst starting quarterback in the NFL; the next he's talking Super Bowl. If nothing else, Geno Smith wants everyone to believe he's got the Jets' best interests in mind.
It's always football season. That's why it's not premature to contemplate the Jets and realize that 2014 has a chance to be much better and more exciting than last year.
