According to ESPN.com, Ryan said that he expects to put up another playoff run in 2011, but also pointed out that the Patriots aren’t as much of a concern to the Jets considering their recent successes against New England.
”This isn't just about beating New England because, quite honestly, we've done a pretty good job of it," he said. "It seems like nobody else in the league can beat them, so we've got to find ways to beat Green Bay, to beat Baltimore, to beat these other teams we lost to."
The Jets beat the Patriots in two out of three matchups this season, but suffered losses to both the Packers and Ravens earlier in the regular season.
Ryan, as usual, was not shy to flaunt his confidence in the upcoming season, adding that he believes quarterback Mark Sanchez will continue to perform, despite a nagging shoulder injury that could require surgery.
He also all but guaranteed that the Jets would make it to the Super Bowl under his leadership, saying, “In my heart, I’ll believe that we’ll be champs.”
