Stay In Your Lane Rex

Rex Ryan knows the Jets Super Bowl hopes could be riding on holdout Darrelle Revis, so he has a plan for getting him signed; “We’ll call off practice. We’ll have our whole team there and meet. That way there’s no, ‘He said, She said’ or whatever. Just get the thing done, and let’s work it out that way.” Big man, you know I love your rap; but stay in your lane. I know you want that guy badly, but that plan sounds like something a caller to my radio program would suggest; the type of call that gets a guy banned from the program. For life.

And you’ll tell us no one guy is bigger than the team, but then you say you’ll shut down practice, and have everyone else stop what they’re doing just to focus on that one guy. And the more you say and do things like this, the more leverage he gets, the less likely it is, he signs. You know management doesn’t want you in the middle of this. They get you the players, you coach em. Period. I guess what I’m saying is, stick to f-bombing your way through Hard Knocks, lap banding and telling the hoodie you’re not here to kiss his rings. Players play, Coaches coach and GM’s negotiate.
