Former New York Jets coach Rex Ryan just went absolutely scorched earth on Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty ahead of their Sunday game. Ryan, known for his fiery takes, didn’t hold back, dropping some seriously choice words about Jeanty.
Jeanty’s Words Light the Fuse
This whole thing kicked off when Jeanty was talking to reporters and apparently threw some shade at the Jets’ defense. He said New York has some defensive players “that don’t really want to tackle.” You just *know* a former defensive coach like Rex Ryan wasn’t gonna let that slide.
Ryan’s Brutal Takedown
And slide it did not. Ryan fired back hard, calling the second-year running back “soft as Charmin.” Yeah, you read that right. But he didn’t stop there, either. Ryan went on to assert that Jeanty is “about the worst draft pick in the last 20 years.” That’s a serious bomb to drop just before these teams square off.
This Sunday’s matchup between the Jets and Raiders just got a whole lot more personal. You gotta wonder if those Jets defensive players are going to have Jeanty’s words, and Ryan’s brutal response, ringing in their ears when they hit the field.
