AFC East Rivalry Heats Up

Everyone likes to trash talk. No matter who you are. Usually teams wait at least till the preseason to start taking jabs at one another. In the AFC east we do it in mini camp. Jets head coach Rex Ryan is already boasting that he has the best defense in the division. What is this guy a comedian? A down hasn’t been played and he wasn’t to start saying that he has the best defense. We can’t completely blame him though. His defense is playing against an atrocious offense so of course it looks good. I personally think that the Jets are in last place right now. They gave up a lot to get a QB that could be a hit or miss. They were desperate to find a quarterback. Every other team has changed for the better. I don’t think I could say the same about the Jets.

So LB Channing Crowder had a few words exchanged with Rex Ryan. It was mostly about how the Patriots were considered the team to beat in the AFC East when the Dolphins are the reigning AFC East champs. What was really funny was that Rex said if he was younger he could whoop Channing. I laugh that a guy bigger than his O-linemen, all fat no muscle, thinks he could fight. He’d run out of breath on his first swing.

I like what this division looks like its shaping up to be. I hate the Pats and I hate the Jets. Now that T.O. is with the Bills I will probably hate them, too. I think it is going to get nasty off the field but more importantly on the field. The season can’t come soon enough.
