124 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Oh boy. Jets' D'Brickashaw Ferguson: 'We're going to win the Super Bowl this year' by USA Today Joe Namath last donned the New York Jets' green and white in 1976. But now it appears that the Hall of Fame quarterback who famously guaranteed the Jets' stunning Super Bowl III victory over the Baltimore Colts in 1969 has found a successor willing to step into his long unfilled shoes. And that man is ... fourth-year T D'Brickashaw Ferguson? "My previous coach, we had a different approach," Ferguson said today, referring to the Jets' former coach, buttoned-up Eric Mangini. "We operated differently. I feel now, with the coach we have, it's important to state what you're going to do and state the goals you're going to attain. I'm adopting that philosophy. When I say I'm going to the Pro Bowl this year, I honestly mean it. When I say we're going to win the Super Bowl this year, I honestly mean that, too. It's up to us, now that we put it out there, we're going to have to do the things that will cause us to be successful. I think we have the formula right." A rather stunning proclamation from the Brick, notes Daily News Jets beat writer Rich Cimini. Ferguson, who's been solid at left tackle since being taken with the No. 4 pick of the 2006 draft but never a Pro Bowler, has been rather soft-spoken to this point of his career. Just shows that the infectious enthusiasm and bravado of rookie coach Rex Ryan continues to pervade the roster on both sides of the ball. As for the team's quarterback battle between first-round rookie Mark Sanchez and veteran Kellen Clemens, Cimini says "pocket presence continues to be an issue for Clemens, who doesn't sense the rush and slide in the pocket as well as he should." Clemens could be feeling the heat on and off the field. Ryan hinted Wednesday morning that he'd like to name a starter by the third week of the preseason. "Obviously, you want to make that decision as fast as you can," Ryan said. "Because now that guy gets all the work with the first group. But we're not there yet. I'm not ready to do that. ... Ideally, you like to have a pretty good idea going into that third preseason game who the guy is." And Ryan did have praise for Clemens. "Clemens has a better grasp of the system than Sanchez does," he said. "They both have their moments. And then they've had their moments when it's like, 'What are you doing?' So I think the competition is good. It seems one guy will be one day and vice versa. The cream will rise to the top and we'll be able to figure it out." Cimini notes that Clemens got 15 of the 16 first-team repetitions this morning in 11-on-11 drills, but Ryan promises an even look for Sanchez. "We obviously have to get him reps with the (first team) to make this a competition," Ryan said. "You got to do that. We never drafted him not to be a guy who's going to compete for the starting job." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 this would be the worst offense to EVER win a title (well, except for the fact we have Jericho Cotchery, the best WR ever) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsis Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 maybe the 2000 Ravens offense was worst If we make the superbowl it means that Sanchez and one of the receivers played above expectations. With our offensive line and Sanchez and a receiver being better than expected the whole worst offense thing would go out the window. This is operating under the assumption that out D is not strong enough to carry us past the Patriots or Steelers in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes and Brick have played in one playoff game in their entire lives. But they want to yap and boast about how great we're going to be. Prove it. Shut the **** up and prove it.

No, I'm a fan that's pissed off that my team, which has made the playoffs a grand total of ONCE in the last FOUR years is talking about winning a Super Bowl eight months after they lost four of their last five games to choke their way out of the playoffs. Win something. Then talk all the **** you want. I'll be right there with you. But right now, stop talking about how ****ing great you think you're gonna be, and for once, ACTUALLY BE GREAT.

I want them to not predict Super Bowl victories when they haven't won a playoff game in 5 ****ing years. You guys act like it's either "We're gonna get a top five pick!" or "We're gonna win the Super Bowl!". There's a medium, you know. A player doesn't have to say the team is going to suck, just as he doesn't have to make predictions about spooning with the Lombardi Trophy.

PS17 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 D'Brick is sure having fun with these quotes. I'm glad he feels that way but I don't like him mouthing off. I gotta agree with Troll, win first, then talk all he crap you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyper Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 We're not winning five games this year, what is he talking about? He's probably referring to the new humble-pie eating contest for NFL coaches and players that the NFL has scheduled as part of the festivities during Super Bowl week. I suppose ol' Rex believes its good to win anything you can during Super Bowl week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villain_the_foe Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I'm really loving the vibe of the Jets this year. I hope no one takes this as pompousness. They really seem to be taking this approach seriously. Its not just Brick and the "D" talking like this, Its the Offense and even the damn special teams. I have to admit. Im proud of these guys already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I want the second thing you suggested. I want Brick to come out and say that it's his goal to wash away the disappointment of last season and say he's going to bust his ass and do everything in his power to help the New York Jets return to the postseason. That's what I want him to say. Not to arrogantly predict a Super Bowl championship for a team that hasn't been to the playoffs in three ****ing years. I heard things like this before 2005. How did that work out for us? Answer: It's the reason Brick is on the team in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.S. Dylan Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Yeah, I ****ing hate players with confidence. False confidence I suppose, which equals too ****iness. We all know how this worked out for Jon Kitna, and I ****ing hate that guy. He just sounds stupid predicting a superbowl win. We need more walking, less talking. Be like NIKE...Just do it!
