Dolphins respond to Jets' disrespect

PrintEarlier today I posted some of the ridiculous comments made by Jets' linebackers Calvin Pace and Bart Scott following the Dolphins' win over the Jets on Monday night. Truth be told, it seemed like the Jets didn't realize after the game that they did indeed get beat. Why else would they make some of those dumb comments?
Regardless, today was the first time since those comments were made that Miami's players were available to the media. And, of course, the media made sure to bring up the comments. Some Dolphins responded.
Channing Crowder, of course, led the parade, saying:
"We nonsensed their ass all the way up and down the field. Nonsense, I love nonsense. They say gimmick, gimmick this, gimmick that. We’ve won games with the Wildcat."
"They ran two fake punts. So if you’re going to say gimmicks, those are real gimmicks. Wildcat is an offensive formation. They have thousands of plays on film about it, go stop it."
"Shut up about all the junk talking. We’ll see them in three more weeks, so the hell with them."
Jason Ferguson was also asked for a reaction to the comments made by Calvin Pace:
"Wow, really? Who is this guy? What's his name again? Ain't he a rookie or something? Isn't that the rookie from Ohio State? Or you talking about the guy from Arizona? Yeah, ok, it's cool, if that's what he sees. It ain't nothing. That's how ya'll want to treat it, it's cool. You'll see it again in two weeks. No comments here. I'm good. I'll stay away from that one. He's fooling himself."
"I got nothing for Calvin. I don't even know that dude. I'll let him have his battle with the Wildcat. It looks like he lost already."
But I think it's Ronnie Brown - the Wildcat's triggerman - who said it best, with his "patented smile":
"I think we’re all afraid of what we do not understand."
"Coming into the game we're watching how they blitz and we were like, 'OK we'll just sit back and play football then and let's see who has the tougher 11 people on the field.' "

I agree 1000%. I have heard the argument on here that you can find backs in every draft.
This is true but no one runs the Wildcat like Ronnie. Its like the offense that was designed for him.

THE WILDCAT IS A GIMMICK. PERIOD!!!
The AFC East runs through New England.
The Dolphins success in 2008 was due to their soft schedule.
These are just some of the things that we Dolphin fans were told at the beginning of the season. These are the things that almost everyone but us believed. Especially Rex Ryan.
And can you really blame him? In two games last season Ryan’s Baltimore Ravens defense held the Dolphin rush attack to just 123 yards on about 43 attempts. That’s about 2.8 yards per carry. They also picked off our tried and true veteran qurterback 5 times. So in other words Rex Ryan owned THAT Dolphin team. So with all of that out of the way I will now attempt to put myself in the Jets locker room Monday evening at about 4:30 p.m.
“We are 3-1, our opponent is 1-3. Their running game is strong but our defense is stronger. I have faced this wildcat and its A GIMMICK. It can be stopped and we will stop it and we will take decisive command of the AFC East. We are not the Buffalo Bills and their quarterback whoever his name is, is going to get a rude awakening tonight. PERIOD!!!”
Obviously I am just speculating but I feel pretty confident that this was the feel in the Jets pre game dicussion. The players did not believe that their head coach could lose to this Dolphins team. But THIS Dolphin team is not THAT Dolphin team. Rex Ryan prepared for the Dolphins of 2008. Well I’m sorry brother but we are one year stonger, one year smarter, and light years better, and when it’s all said and done the moral of the story is this…
The wildcat is a gimmick. It’s a college formation. It’s nonsense. It’s whatever they want to call it whoever they are. The New York Jets, the rest of the league, the critics/anylists, but I call it something else. I call it a dream come true. I haven’t watched my team with boyhood wonderment since the late 20th century and I haven’t enjoyed a game more than Monday nights smack down since the 2000 Wildcard upset over the Indianopolis Colts. We’re one game out and I think we still have a couple of tricks up our sleeve. Do the Jets? Do the Patriots?
Hey Rex you’ve got three weeks. I suggest you get off your ass and study up.
i love this rivalry

All this shit is so funny but Ronnie said it best
When it comes right down to it the guys who work the hardest and pound the ball will come out on top. Ronnie Brown must be resigned.

The NYJ
Coaches, players, fans are the biggest bunch of spoiled lil cry babies I’ve ever seen in my enitre life.
Ryan is going around thinking he is great. Telling his defense (and they are believing it) they are God’s gift to the NFL). And getting the Jets fans more arrogant (if thats possible) by saying these things. Hell they thought that before he said.
Maybe it was just the @ss kissing they got from ESPN since he became coach of the NYJs. Or possibly the dick rubbing they got from the refs on Monday night.
Either way, they can’t accept the fact that their nuts are thier new tonsils. Thanks Fins, this helps me get through the days.

It's just too bad we have a low-class team like this in our division...
Instead of being respectful towards your opponent, and respecting the game, they are just trying to shit on everyone in their division. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Bill’s beat them next week. Just take your ass whipping and shut the F#CK up you little bitches!!! Go home and try to figure out how you are gonna stop us in three weeks.
Of course Tom Brady has to marry someone with Giz in her name. How fitting???

Rex Ryan Sucks
He won’t be a head coach very long. He won’t deliver and will be forced out within a year or two. Arrogance+no results=FIRED

rex
As a Ravens fan, i don’t think you phins fan have too much to worry about as far as the jets goes. Ravens have produced many great def coordinators but none of that has exactly translated to consistent on-field success.
Have any of them been as big a douche as Rex?
I agree. The Ravens always seem to have one of if not the best defenses every single year.

He nailed it.
It seems I will need to post this link every year until the national sports media, and Calvin Pace (both synonymous with unlearned) shoot their mouths off about the “wildcat.”
Check out the reference to Favre’s 6 TD game against the Cardinals. Wonder if Minnesota fans know that their season ends with interceptions in cold weather?
It’s also funny that I wrote that post on October 2nd of last year. I’d say that the team we have right now with Henne’s potential, no slight to CP10, is better than last years by a lot.

How bout this one from Smiley?
“What I really think I’m not going to say, honestly, because we play in a couple of weeks,” guard Justin Smiley said. "I have a lot of respect for Calvin Pace because I think he’s a heck of a football player. But the one thing I am going to say is we have game upon games of game film to watch. People know what we run.
“We’re not running Statue of Liberties out of Wildcat. We’re running base and power. You have to stop it. You have to stop it, and until you stop it, nothing’s going to change. That’s the way we approach it. One-on-one, man-on-man, and whatever anybody wants to say about it, that’s their opinion. But until you stop it, nothing’s going to change.”

Its not something that they Jets dont already know. They are making excused because
they got lost. They have taken on the personality of there coach. Its the typical bully. All talk and when one of the kids gets tired of his smack and lays him out he has to make excuses even though he know he just got his ass kicked by the quiet kid.

Dolphins and Gators baby!
THE Wildcat
Look we invented this formation to highlight our strengths and it worked. Now the whole league is trying to copy our success. Let the nay sayers call it a fad. I call it a smash mouth running formation period!!!!
And no one comes close to reproducing it!

Not enough Ricky props in this thread
Just saying….
I don't wear jerseys anymore
But I wore my Ricky jersey Tuesday morning. How’s that xiola.
I hate the wildcat
if not for that damn formation, The Colts would have been a top 5 rush defense. That said, if it ain’t broke dont fix it. I dont hate Rex and the Jets as much as you guys do given that I am a Colts fan and hope the Patriots get destroyed by their rivals (BTW please destroy them, thanks), but it was kind of nice to see Ryan shove it when the Wildcat decimated that defense.
PS- I HATE THE WILDCAT!
We will always do our best. Hate the Jets!

Congrats on the win guys
Ronnie was dead on. You guys killed us with the Wildcat last year.
You could call the formation the “Fluffy puppies”.
If it kicks your ass, it really doesn’t matter. You’ve got to find a way to stop it.
Hopefully, they’ll be thinking the same thing the next time you meet.
Then you can “gimmick” them twice.
