Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan "Regrets" Trash talk with Dolphins LB Channing Crowder.

Rex Ryan said he regrets trash talking with Dolphins LB Channing Crowder in the offseason. In press conference in south Miami, reporters brought up this subject, Ryan responded with - "I think the thing with Channing Crowder, if I had to do one thing over, that would probably be it," Ryan said, "because clearly I was joking about the whole thing, which I had done before in the past in Baltimore with Chad Johnson [Ochocinco] and with some other guys". "For some reason, I don't think the tone was reflected that way. That is what it is. I'll say this to you guys: I'm not going to be hard to find out there. I'll be wearing a white jersey with a 77 on it."

He also had this to say (Rex Ryan).

"I think bulletin board material is something that if I was being disrespectful, or somebody's being disrespectful to an opponent, I think that's where it could probably motivate you," Ryan said, "but I've never been disrespectful to anybody.

"But also understand this: We think we have a heck of a football team, and we're confident. We're not afraid of anybody. We're not backing down from anybody. We came here to try to win a championship, and if people have a tough time with it, so be it.


Crowder said he has no hard feelings toward Rex Ryan.


Though he hates RB Leon Washington of the New York Jets,

"We do not like each other," Crowder said Wednesday. "With Florida State, I hated him. I hate him now. If I see him out, I'm not going to talk to him. I'm not going to slap him, but I'm not going to be pleasant.

"Every time he sees me, he starts cussing. I see him and I start cussing. It's going to be like that the whole game."


Crowder says he feels the same about everyone on the jets Including Rookie QB Mark Sanchez.

He said he hasn't been cussed out yet, because he's a rookie but will this week.


So some feud heading into this weeks match up, expect that in every rivalry game. And if I was Mark Sanchez I wouldn't want to be hit by Channing Crowder.
