"The Real Sexy Rexy" of the NFL

The Ravens are a powerhouse for defensive coordinators getting the head coaching nod in the NFL and while I am honestly proud of the fact that our team is noted for the great defensive mindset we have, it scares the hell out of me.

Brian Billick has a great passion for not only the game, but he also brings the best coaches to the sidelines of M&T Bank.

If Rex leaves, I know we can replace him, but I wonder how we can continually replace our leaders. We lose Marvin Lewis to the Redskins and then the Bengals (although I wonder if he wants to be back in Purple or get arrested) and we let Mike Nolan get the nod.


Rex Ryan
is a top notch guy who understands what it takes to win and I am more than happy that the Chargers think the best of him, but I am also selfish within this matter.

The Baltimore Sun reported ...
What caught the eye of everyone in the Chargers' organization was Ryan's jewelry - the Super Bowl ring he won with the Ravens in January 2001.

"That would be something that we'd be targeting," Ryan told San Diego reporters after meeting with Chargers executives yesterday. "We'd like to get several of those, but we want to put a different logo on it."

The Chargers obviously agree...

“It was great to sit down and talk football with Rex,” Smith said. “We exchanged philosophical views, and a lot of it leaned on defense because of my philosophy that defense wins championships. That’s Rex’s expertise. He was born and raised in a football family with a great defensive-minded coach. We talked about his upbringing in football, and I found that very interesting.”
Dont Go Rex...But if you do...I'll root for you, not the Chargers

Is the AFC Central (or "North", as Tagliabue and his goons renamed it) the most raided division in NFL history?

First we had the Oilers in the late 80's and early 90's getting assistant coaches picked off left and right.

Then the Steelers in the mid-90's had a potential dynasty derailed by a yearly wave of free agents leaving for warmer pastures (although, to be fair, there wasn't going to be any Steelers dynasty with Neil O'Donnell or Kordell Stewart at QB).

Since then, the Ravens have been the target, mostly in the coaching staff, but even the defense has been losing players (mostly depth).
