Dipping only my toe into the murky water that is the story of Rex Ryan, let me kick things off with a brief recap of the coach's latest misstep.
Fumbling around this offseason (again) with the position of starting quarterback, Ryan attempted to skip over the disappointment known as Mark Sanchez and start rookie upstart Geno Smith. The problem has been that when he has been thrust into the starting lineup, Smith has seemed unable to get his footing in the battle for top QB against Sanchez. Along the way, Ryan has done nothing to kick away the perception that he is grasping at straws as he works to stomp on whatever confidence the former "Sanchize" has left in him.
But this time, the Big Bipedophile has really stepped in it. Following another stankshow by the uncooked rook Smith, Ryan inserted what is clearly his best current option in Sanchez behind a line of wannabes and really shouldn't-be second liners in a meaningless fourth quarter pre-season football game with just enough time left to watch him get taken out injured after getting pounded into the turf. By making that brainless call, he may have put the proverbial foot in his multi-verbial mouth.
Now, the team is scrambling for scraps in the "is-there-a-job-for-me-in-the-NFL?" netherworlds to try and shore up what is now a desperately thin QB corps.
My, how the mighty arches have fallen! The team owners must now search their soles to find out whether to punt their controversial coach or hope he can still toe the line as he tries to get back on the good foot and stop acting like a heel.
As one Wes Welker once said, it appears that Toerannesaurus Rex might soon be suffering the agony of De-Feet as the other shoe falls and he gets booted out of town.
