I completely disagree....
I think, it is perfectly clear.... Rex Ryan told those SIX coaches to stand on the edge of the sideline (2 yards OFF the field of play)... and, NOT move if the gunner gets knocked into them...
... THAT was, 'The Plan'.
The problem with 'The Plan' is.... ANY person, standing there... knowing you're about to have an NFL player running at high speed run into your knee... will LEAN into the blow, to prevent damage to yourself.
Have you ever tried to hold your hand on a glass jar when a rattlesnake inside the jar strikes at you?? I've tried... you CANNOT do it. No one can. Not even people who work with the damn snakes every day. It's hard-wired into your nervious system. I think, the same is true in this case.
This was a REX RYAN plan.... it is a DAMN SHAME they have suspended this coach. I am SICK about this...
LOL! Okay, you know I live in the PRM, so there is no slack for the Jets from me, but hey, if that was the plan that they stand two yards off and not move, they didn’t execute very well! Maybe Coach Ryan SHOULD be fired...he is having enough trouble getting his players to execute, now his his assistant coaches are on the blink!
Seriously, though...how the heck would you set it up, all the coaches standing in a line at that one solitary six yard segment where the guy would angle over and make a pass right at that point? I like a good conspiracy theory as much as anyone, but I don’t see it.
Plus, that trainer must have felt sick seeing that guy lolling on the ground, even if he was acting a bit.
