Rex Ryan confident he can take Mark Sanchez

M. Sancheztub

It’s about time Mark Sanchez started taking some grief for his comments in GQ, not to mention the pictures.

Jets coach Rex Ryan surprised Sanchez during a team meeting on Wednesday morning. A few coaches prepared a “Tale of the Tape” comparing Ryan and Sanchez that looked unfavorably at Sanchez’s chances of winning in a fight.

“My keys to victory were ground and pound,” Ryan said.

The Jets head coach, whose fighting record was listed at 1,000-0, said he didn’t expect to ever pull Sanchez from the lineup.

“I don’t anticipate it. With the way Mark has elevated his play, I don’t think I’ll ever have to pull him,” Ryan said.

Oh, and about those pictures: Nick Mangold told reporters he is going to make Sanchez wear his “painted on” white pants for an upcoming road trip.
