Scott Dierking Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 From Glazer: it wasn't the trash talk that helped the Jets beat the Pats Sunday. It was the chalk talk. Sure, the Jets talked tons of smack going into their battle vs. New England, and who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned, violent, trash-talking rivalry? But take the trash out of the equation for a minute. The real dirty work was done with some behind-the-scenes intrigue on the part of the Jets and head coach Rex Ryan. This week Ryan used former Patriots QB and Tom Brady understudy Kevin O'Connell to prepare for the Pats. Team sources told FOXSports.com that Ryan took O'Connell and pretty much passed him around from coach to coach this week to give a group-by-group tutorial of New England's tendencies. In fact, he was so helpful that Ryan named O'Connell team captain for today's game. That's right, a No. 3 QB as team captain. And the Jets showed how good they can be with a little captain in 'em. "It was just another shot across their bow," said one team source of why Ryan made the surprising move. Sources said while the former Patriot QB was revealing in helping with tendencies of different players and schemes, he was most helpful in revealing the tendencies the Patriots use to adjust against different blitz packages the Jets will try to employ. Basically, he's able to say, "Hey, when you use this blitz they like to check it over here. When you use that blitz their tendency will be to use this guy, here." In addition to the strategic assist, O'Connell also revealed something else that Ryan could sink his teeth into for motivational purposes. Brady's former backup informed the Jets coach that New England began intently breaking down and studying Ryan's defense all the way back to March. Players say Ryan used this info to deliver this message: "You don't think they aren't worried about us? They're definitely thinking about us!"

hoping4ASuperBowl Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 yeah cause its not like Rex could have learned anything from last weeks game when the Bills handed the Pats the ball and let Brady sit comfortably in the pocket and pick apart their Bills D. yeah O'Connell really pushed the Jets over the hump there.

ZachEY Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 There is a difference between "morals" and professional ethics Ok, whether or not you think Spygate was a big deal, it's hilarious that a fan of a team who got caught and penalized for cheating is talking about professional ethics and morality with regard to naming captains for the game.

#27TheDominator Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Agreed, I felt bad for them just reading that one thread. Eh. I don't see them as so bad. There are a couple of rational people (Garb? ) and a bunch of nuts. There are also a bunch of Jets fans that don't regularly post there going over just to troll and rile them up. It's one thing taking **** from Alk, Garb, Gainzo or even Tex, but it's pretty douchey just to pop in after a win. I don't see why that one genius keeps referring to us as "trailer trash". Are there a lot of trailers in NYC? I haven't been back in a year, but I don't remember many in Brooklyn. Guess it's the only insult he could come up with.

They should put a giant mirror over Gillette stadium so they can see themselves. Boston people are pretty trashy...have you seen Goodwill Hunting and Mystic River?

bobbyjet69 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 pretty funny crap! the one guy goes on about how the Jets are "built to win now" and the core players will "age out". I guess Sanchez, Harris, Mangold, Ferguson, Rhodes ,Revis, etc.... are "older" than we all thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
