JetNation Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Another day, another media firestorm caused by a Jets player discussing chemistry issues in the locker room. Wednesday’s “story of the day” was generated by rookie quarterback Greg McElroy who shared some very strong opinions about the Jets locker room. McElroy offered: “It’s the first time I’ve ever been around extremely selfish individuals. I think that’s maybe the nature of the NFL. But there were people within our lockerroom that didn’t care whether we won or loss… as long as they got their… they really had a good game individually. And that’s the disappointing thing. It’s going to take a lot to kind of come together next year. I think the fact that we struggled at times this year really led to a really corrupt mindset within the locker room. But I think we’re going to regroup and I know that we’ll be a better team because of the trials and tribulations this year.” These are some harsh words from a rookie player and I can only imagine how the veterans on the team are going to react to this. With that being said I think it is time for Rex Ryan to put some type of gag order on his players. Enough is enough with this teammate bashing and it is time to unite forces. Rex Ryan should implement some type of media policy that limits the type of quotes that will create dissension in the locker room. It is one thing to be a player’s coach, it is another to foster a circus like environment. It is time for a change Rex before you truly lose control of your locker room. </img> </img> View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetman_67 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I hope Woody is paying close attention to the mess. He needs to be questioning if Tanny and Rex really know what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone paying attention over the last week has any question whether or not these two know what's going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villain_the_foe Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 No need for Rex to silence anyone. Besides, McElroy seemed to be telling the truth. Sometimes you have to hear stuff like that from a back up. When things are going well no one wants silence. It works the same when when you go 8-8.

Il Mostro Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 The problem is Rex has been great at being a clownish defensive coordinator. He has proven the Peter Principle by rising in title/position to his own personal level of incompetence. The fact is he is not, and will never be, a competent NFL head coach.

JohnnyB Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Before Rex cab silence his players, ne needs to silence himself, and I am not sure he knows how to do that. An old saying- lead by example- is lost on the Jets, and it starts at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
