Parcells or Ryan, Parcells or Ryan, Parcells or Ryan.......hmmm
I think free agents would choose Parcells.
He's talking about the Ravens scheduled FA's if I'm not mistaken.
There's no question we have the inside track on guys like Bart Scott and Jim Leonhard. I don't see any way Baltimore lets go of Lewis or Suggs.
All of those guys act as if they would run through a brick wall for Rex.
Here's a few quotes on Rex from the Ravens defense:
LB RAY LEWIS
"Rex is the guru. He's not afraid to be different and move guys around to take advantage of our athletic ability. He trusts us that much."
HEAD COACH JOHN HARBAUGH
"This is a great football coach and even a better person. Rex is going to be a great head coach in the NFL, without a doubt. He's got all the talent, all the ability to do it. He's built something here that is one of the best in the National Football League, and that's the foundation for us to stand on."
S ED REED
"Defense is a tradition here at the Ravens, and I'm just proud to be a part of it. Yes, we try to go out and dominate, but we do it in a structure that is well-coached and proven."
CB SAMARI ROLLE
"Rex is an even better person than a coach, which says something. He cares about you, and he keeps us under control. We're his guys. I mean, look at this locker room. There are some strong personalities on this defense to deal with, real strong personalities. But Rex handles it. He's got a strong personality, too. Nobody disrespects Rex — nobody. We all play for him."
DT TREVOR PRYCE
"It has a lot to do with Rex putting us all in positions to make plays. He takes advantage of our skills and keeps everyone happy by calling plays to give us all a chance to be a hero. It's fun."
S JIM LEONHARD
"Guys would run in front of a bus for Rex. We'd do anything for Rex."
FORMER CB GARY BAXTER
"Every time he gets up to speak in a defensive meeting room, all eyes and ears belong to him."
GENERAL MANAGER OZZIE NEWSOME
"Rex has always been a gym rat for football. It's not work for him. It's pure enjoyment."
LB TERRELL SUGGS
"You want to give your heart out for Rex. I don't know what it is about him, but I hope he never changes. That's exactly why in a heartbeat, no matter what he'll ask me to do, I'll do it. I love Rex Ryan."
