Ryan: "We'll Play Their 6 SB Trophies... If They Put Them On The Field"

[SteelerEmpire]

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Rex Ryan and the New York Jets might as well have exchanged Valentine's Day cards this week with the Pittsburgh Steelers, considering how much praise they've expressed for one another.

Ryan warned everyone Friday, however, not to think that the Jets are any less motivated because they aren't preparing for the AFC Championship Game with splashy quotes.

And then he threw out a splashy quote.

"They've had six Super Bowl trophies," Ryan said of the Steelers organization. "If they want to put them on the field, we will play them, too."

Ah, Rex, you wish you could even touch one. But it doesn't have feet, so no dice, tubby.

When you listen to it in context of the question and answer, it makes more sense. It was a throw away line, nothing more. Idiot reporter. http://www.newyorkjets.com/photos-and-videos/videos/121-Coach-Ryan-News-Conference/49d83b5f-62c4-435f-9776-b6778d3d56e9

In short, he was being questioned about the lack of smack talk, and his team not being prepared as a result. His answer was basically, yes, we are prepared, they'll get everything we have.... then a pause, then, the comment about the trophies. In other words,

"Shut up you idiot reporter, we'll be ready to play them."
