Jace Amaro calls out Rex Ryan and the former regime/Rex responds

[Football51]

Sack, I sent you something to take a look at.

In an interview with Sirius XM NFL Radio, Amaro didn't mention Ryan by name. But he didn't have to.


"He's not really playing around with everyone being late," Amaro said of Bowles. "We had an issue with that last year. Guys just weren't accountable last year as much as they could be. I think that's the biggest thing. [Bowles is] making sure everyone's gonna be 100 percent in or he's not going to be on the team."

Smith had missed a meeting because of some time-zone confusion on the night before the Jets got drilled by the Chargers last October. But by saying tardiness was "an issue," Amaro implied the problem wasn't just about that isolated incident involving Smith. Amaro also implied that compared to Ryan, Bowles won't be messing around.

Via Pro Football Talk, you can hear Amaro's comments below:

This is exactly what the kid said.....I dont think it is a big deal AT ALL

anyone that has problem with this..I dont know especially because its not a lie

 

[jetfandreamer]

True, but there is difference between thinking it and saying it. In my mind he didn't have the balls to say it while Rex was there, but now all of a sudden he's grown a pair and wants to call out a coaching staff that's no longer there? It just looks gutless and unnecessary to me. It also doesn't show the new coaching staff much in terms what kind of guy he is, if he's going to publicly embarrass the coaching staff that drafted him and tried to develop him, what kind of trust is the new coaching staff going give him? I just don't think it was a smart move on his part no matter how you spin it.

How do you know he didn't say it to the front office while Rex was there? Just because he didn't say it to the press doesn't mean he didn't say it.

True, but I doubt it. Do you really think he went into Rex's office last season and said that stuff to his face? Honestly?

Not saying it is a big deal in the grand scheme of things, I just think it shows extremely poor judgment by the kid, and maybe a glimpse into his character.

Your reading comprehension skills are still lacking, despite the week long hiatus. I said "front office".

If you are an employee, and you believe your boss to be negligent in his duties, do you go to him? Or do you go to his boss?

So you have come back, have taken a worst case scenario with Amaro as a player, and are now making this out to be a bigger issue than it is.

Basically, you've come back here with the same attitude that got you the week break in the first place.

So how exactly do you get that I'm making it a bigger issue than it is when I say in my very post "Not saying it's big issue in the grand scheme of things.", then you follow up with saying I have poor reading comprehension skills? What exactly is your issue with my post other than I happen to be a fan of another team? Where did I insult, troll, or generally antagonize anyone? Better yet where exactly is my stance any different in form, function, or presentation than many Jets fans that have the similar view? I get it, you don't like a Pats fan having an opinion on anything to do with your team.

kind of weird to see so many posters bashing amaro for saying the exact same types of things about rex that many of the same posters would say here on this board. i guess it's ok for fans to be critical, but young players need to STFU???

This is being blown way out of proportion. Amaro spoke the truth. I don't care if he was a rookie. And his reputation around here with the drops is also being made to be a bigger deal than it really is, too. Yes, Amaro dropped some balls like most TE's and WR's occasionally do. He had a good rookie season. And he looks to be even better this year.

Not sure what you could have been looking at last year that would give you this kind of confidence in a kid that could barley hold on to the ball last year. He should be serviceable TE if he can learn to catch the ball but expecting him to become a "premier TE" this year? I'd say you have a better chance of him becoming a "premier QB" like you originally stated.

Just to keep you informed, Amaro had the best year of any of the TE's drafted, and basically had the identical rookie #'s to Jimmy Graham. ( with Geno at QB)

what did amaro's "spouting" accomplish aside from bulletin board material??

you think bowles is impressed with a kid throwing his former coach under the bus??

i hope gailey drives the point home that amaro better have his head on a swivel against the bills under rex's watch..

I agree. Players should just play and never create headlines for any other reason but their play.

Thanks for this. Rex held people accountable but at the same time there was no depth on his damn teams that would allow him to punish his players appropriately. He would hurt the team if he tried punishing certain players. These are grown men, you just need to talk to them and they will get the point. No need to do something in the face of the media just so you can show that you hold people accountable.

 

[ucrenegade]

some coaches can find a way to talk to individual players bill parcells always had that gift and so did tom landry i don't think rex ever learned how.

 

[sg3]

I hadn't seen that video since HK. I remember thinking then and it came back to me now...

Look.at the expression on.those players faces...they say...

This guy can't be that dumb and lame and still be an NFL head coach...Can he????

Rex is a good football mind but a wimp when it comes to putting the hammer down.....if he doesn't call guys out..it should have been players....HE DID NOT HOLD PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE..he wanted to be everyones friend and a good guy..its not a good guy business...Bill Belicheat is a scumbag....Parcells was a bit of a scumbag....Jimmy Johnson was a scumbag..but they won.....

Well, it's pretty clear when I said that Amaro may have gone to the front office, and you incredulously responded that he wouldn't have gone to Rex to complain about Rex, that you didn't comprehend what I said.

So now you're telling me Amaro is Jimmy Graham??? Ridiculous, he looks like he should develop into a nice starting TE, but you can compare the numbers all you like there was nothing "explosive" about Amaro the way there is with Graham, and Graham never had a problem hanging onto the ball. Besides, this entire topic was about what he said not what he's done, and the bottom line is for a second year player to make comments like he did is just plain stupid. I don't care who he plays for, it could be the Patriots and it would still be a dumb thing to do. If some of you want to pretend it wasn't stupid ill-advised feel free.
