On Monday night, the Jets and Ravens meet at the new Meadowlands Stadium in what Ryan described as "a game people will remember." It's the season opener, but it's also open season on the Jets. In recent weeks, Tony Dungy, Rodney Harrison, Tom Brady and Terry Bradshaw have criticized the Jets for their big-talking, hard-knocking attitude.

 

Ryan claimed his bravado puts the pressure on him, not his players, because he's the one making the bold statements. As for Lewis, whom he called the greatest linebacker he's ever coached, Ryan said he took no offense to the remarks.

 

"It doesn't matter what he says in a negative light, because I still respect him," Ryan said. "But we're going to try to smash him, I can tell you that much."

 

Most Jets players took Lewis' comments in stride, although some thought it was funny that he compared the Ravens to the Los Angeles Lakers. That came in response to cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who compared the Jets to the Miami Heat.

 

"If y'all are the Miami Heat, we've got to be the Lakers, because we're looking for multiple rings," Lewis told the Baltimore media.
