| Jets Coach Rex Ryan To Call The Defense During Games | | | Jets head coach Rex Ryan Thursday repeated his intention to call the defenses during games this season. He'll work in concert with his trusted defensive coordinator, Mike Pettine. Ryan says the administrative part of being a head coach isn't exact his strong point. ''I'm kind of looking forward to that a little bit, getting away from training camp and focusing more on the defense,'' said Ryan Thursday. The team breaks camp Friday. ''I'm kind of a head coach/coordinator. 'I even asked (Rams coach Steve) Spagnuolo if he was calling the defenses, and he said 'no' because there are so many administrative things. I have a tough time doing that. You work all your life to get to this shot. 'One of the reasons you get here is because you're probably pretty decent at what you do and to just turn it completely over and then if it doesn't go right, you have somebody else to blame instead of just putting it on yourself. If our defense doesn't do well, then that's going to be a reflection on me.'' Source: Newark Star-Ledger | | |
