After suffering a close loss to the Miami Dolphins last week, the New York Jets will play the Minnesota Vikings in an away game. Here’s some of the latest rumors and updates:
Ryan denies locker room is ’toxic’
Coach Rex Ryan said Friday that the Jets’ locker room situation isn’t “toxic.” He was responding to a report from SB Nation that made those claims.
In the report, it claimed Ryan was trying to fire offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg.
“I give no credibility to that story,” Ryan said on Friday, according to NFL.com. “I thought there were some other things in that story, the same one, that I thought were hilarious. The one about, I’ve already told you guys how I thought about how I was trying to stick it to John (Idzik), about that’s why we never threw the ball.
“And then as it turns out, Marty was trying to stick it to me. This is like, ‘What?’ They’re going all over the place, and none of them make sense. We’re trying to win a game. And that’s as simple as it is.”
Ryan said that the story originates from an outside reporter who doesn’t know the team.
Mornhinweg also refuted the SB Nation report.
“Rex and I are close. Everything we do is about getting better and figuring out a way to win football games,” he said.
