To hear Rex Ryan and James Ihedigbo talk about it, the fact that there were a bunch of fights at Jets camp today is just evidence of how much these guys really love each other. Here’s what Diggs had to say:
On how much of the fight with Thomas Jones was real…
It’s 100% real. It’s football. We are out here getting better. We’re out here playing hard. We are out here pushing each other to get better. With that, it’s 100% real. There’s no faking that. We are all out here for one common goal, and that’s to win. We all want to achieve that goal.
On if there’s something going on with him and Jones…
It’s just offense and defense. It wasn’t specific players. But that’s just the kind of edge we’re going to have with the team. And you learn that going against each other and against your opponents is a different story.
On if something set him off…
Nothing really set me off, we’re just out here getting better. It wasn’t a switch that flipped and that’s part of the game.
On how Jones and him laughed about the fight after…
It’s about enjoying it. That’s the kind of edge that we want to have and that’s the kind of attitude we want to develop as a team. We are going to enjoy each others’ company off the field and on the field. Tempers may flare, but that’s a part of playing football.
On if he likes to see that aggression in his teammates…
It’s not so much we want to see that aggression, but that’s the kind of mentality we want to have against the other team. As I said, against the other opponents you are going to see that aggression on Sundays. You’re going to see that type of attitude and that’s what we bring to the table and that’s what we are as New York Jets.

So, Aggression is good…got it. I’d like to know if this “style” of coaching breeds unusually high levels of penalties during the season. Will they be serving raw meat at the new stadium in New Jersey so the fans can get in the spirit of this new aggressiveness? Perhaps fans will be also be inspired to be aggressive, like Soccer fans in Liverpool?
I can hardly wait
[...] knows they are all feelin’ the love in New [...]
In it anything can be. Currently just about all started to be very clear with me, Thank you for any info.
