Kentucky Jet Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 rRex Ryan raves about Randy Moss Posted by Mike Florio on April 10, 2011, 1:02 PM EDT It’s been nearly three weeks since the league meetings in New Orleans. But intriguing tidbits from Jets coach Rex Ryan continue to emerge. Last night, we posted on Tim Graham’s recent item regarding Ryan’s Louisiana lamentations on Vernon Gholston. Now, Greg Bedard of the Boston Globe explains that Ryan also spoke positively about receiver Randy Moss, who’ll be a free agent whenever free agency begins. “Randy Moss, I’ve said all along, is a great vertical receiver,’’ Ryan said, per Bedard. “And you have to roll coverage. Most teams would have to roll coverage to him. We never did, but we got burned for a touchdown. But he was a weapon. A vertical weapon down the field.’’ Actually, Ryan’s team was burned twice in 2010. With the Patriots, Moss made a great one-handed catch in single coverage from Darrelle Revis (who tweaked a hamstring on the play). Then, after Moss was traded by the Patriots to the Vikings, Moss got behind Antonio Cromartie (who otherwise handled Moss fairly well in single coverage) for a touchdown, the 500th of Brett Favre’s career. For those of you wondering whether Ryan engaged in tampering by mentioning a player under contract with another team, Ryan added that he checked with team spokesman Bruce Speight to make sure that Ryan could say what he said. It’s probably not tampering, given that the contract between Moss and the Titans had expired when Ryan said what he said, and the Titans have done nothing to hold onto his rights. Still, if Ryan deliberately checked with Speight about Moss before saying what Ryan said, it looks like Ryan possibly was trying to send Moss a message. Moss previously had expressed interest in playing for the Jets, when former Marshall teammate Chad Pennington was the starting quarterback. When Moss was last a free agent in 2008, the Jets did not jump into the bidding. Since then, however, the Jets have shown a greater willingness to pursue big-name veteran players, and Moss could fill a void if either or both of the big-name receivers for whom the Jets traded in 2009 and 2010 don’t return. And Ryan surely thinks he can press all the right buttons on Randy Moss, getting the most out of him without Moss becoming a pain in the butt, like he last year was in Minnesota and, to a lesser extent, in New England.

JetsFanInDenver Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 A great Yoda move by Rex Ryan. Our only vertical receiver is a free agent. Gives the JETS some leverage if Randy Moss was in the negotiation conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crusher Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I'd rather have Tone and Braylon back. I think it's safe to say most of us do,,, but if we can't get both signed.. Randy Moss on a one year prove himself rental might not be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives the JETS some leverage if Randy Moss was in the negotiation conversation. Yep. And this is where Rex praising players pays off. We talk about how it hurts us because he pumps up the value of players we need to sign. What we don't consider is all the players on other teams he praises.

JiFtheOracle Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 LOL!!! This would be awesome. It would be pretty sweet. Another dramatic story line to the Jets/Pats rivalry. Hell yeah!!! Did you notice in the article how the defensive Genius that is Rex Ryan said something about rolling coverage, how most team have to, but the Jets dont? Kinda sounds familiar. Either way, it would be so sweet to take the Pats missing weapon and have him running wild on the Jets. The Pats wouldnt have a chance at stopping us. It would open up all the underneath stuff, not to mention, opening running lanes for the run game...you know, all those lanes that the Pats didnt see in the playoffs vs. the Jets.

Darrellegivesmeaboner#24 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 This sounds like a well-planned statement by Rex. I think deep down this organization would rather bring back both Holmes and Braylon, but this would provide us with excellent leverage with the Braylon talks. If Braylon is going to jail, or wants to be paid like a stud receiver, we can let him go and sign this beast on a short term contract... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Randy Moss = 1B to Rice's 1A. Arguably the greatest non-QB playmaker in league history...certainly as a pass catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 LOL!!! This would be awesome. Mark Sanchez: "Coach, can you ask Randy why he's not running any routes? He stopped talking to me back in camp." Brian Schottenheimer: "Randy, why aren't you running your routes?" Randy Moss: "Who the f*ck are you and where's my Gatorade?"

whodeawhodat Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 hell to the no!!!! Revis called him a slouch and we have seen time and time again this guy quit. we dont need that on our team. I would like to stick it to the patsies as much as any of you but this guy is done... I will go ahead and mention his self professed love of BB and TB as well. I trust him even less than I trusted J.Taylor. !$#@ them both... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be cheap and if he comes in motivated, he would be a geat singing. Low Risk; High Reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he motivated when he had 3 TD's in as many games with Pats last season? I dont know, but if thats what he does when he's unmotivated, I'd love to have it.

nodimwithere Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Moss could be protection in case Santonio Holmes does not re-sign. And with the management-labor impasse now, who knows what is going to occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
