Jets' Mike Westhoff Rips Steve Weatherford

PrintToday must be 'rip on the New York Giants Day' in Florham Park, home of the New York Jets. Although, in Rex Ryan's world, that might be every day.
Did you hear about Jets special teams coach Mike Westhoff criticizing the work done last year by Steve Weatherford, who the Giants are quite happy to have punting for them this season?
"I was very happy in Steve with some things he did and very, very disappointed in others," Westhoff said. "To tell you the truth, I don't want to be 23rd. We're not 23rd in anything else. Wherever we are, I am trying to get better, so that's why we made the move. ...
"I was disappointed with some of the performances he had at the end of the year," Westhoff said. "It wasn't very good. You were there. You were up in New England. The ball went straight out (of bounds)....There were times when he just didn't do the job. I was looking to get better than what he did at that point in time. Wasn't good enough, in my opinion. It wasn't. I don't want to be 23rd in the NFL. That's where he was."
What do you think of that, Giants' fans? A special teams coach actually complaining about his punter putting the ball out of bounds. Seems to me, the Giants would have won at least one more game last season with a punter who could do that. And I think Tom Coughlin would be happy if every punt went out of bounds.
Even Gang Green Nation editor John B. had a hard time buying what Westhoff was selling. He wrote "I do not find this criticism particularly fair" and "I find it difficult to square Westhoff's words with Weatherford's performance."
Let's see how much Westhoff enjoys dealing with an unpredictable rookie punter this season, which is what he has in T.J. Conley. Weatherford is not the second coming of Ray Guy, or even Jeff Feagles, but the Giants are happy to have him.

I'm surprised...
…he wasn’t too busy teaching his assistants how to trip players to make these comments. The Jets’ tripping wall is very nuanced and takes a long time to perfect.
Damn, who's the jerkoff that let out the inferiority complex again?
It smells…

More Jest trying to get their 15 minutes of fame
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
The media, former players, other teams coaches, and a ton of arm chair GMs
are busy ripping this team. I wonder why they would spend so much time spewing hatred towards the Giants when they feel as if we are not a contender. Athletes rarely need extra motivation, but hopefully all of this hate can help them play with an extra chip on their shoulders.

Even when the Giants are good
Media loves to hate them. I’ll never understand it.
Such as this year
Because the Giants are good.

just a bit

Giant LB'z SUCK!!? Mark Herzlich, Greg Jones,Spencer Paysinger...Maybe not..
isnt it great
This team loves nothing more than when the world hates them. We play our best with our backs against the wall. So let whoever wants say whatever they want. The true Giant fans can sit back at the end of the season & just smile as everyone else is silently backpeddling on all the negative statements
Nobody wins the SB in August
Talk is Cheap! Play the Game!
Quoting myself from the other thread
This is the guy who threw an assistant under the bus after he deliberately tripped a gunner along the sideline on punt coverage.
The worst thing was that Westhoff first pretended to have no idea that his players were lining up along the edge of the six foot white sideline strip with the specific intention of getting in the way of gunners who were blocked out of bounds.
Then he said that every team did it.
Especially the Patriots.
Yep – nothing but class over there in Jetland.

I agree
there’s no way that just happened by accident.

What the hell is going on today?
It’s like Football Wive’s of NY NJ around here.
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
He said She said My feelings Your feelings Bla Bla BLa
STFU! Ladies[Jet’s ] and worry about your own team. You know you play Dallas on Monday.
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
And if he were still on the jets
Him and rexy would be calling him the #1 punter in “da league”
So, in other words, the jest, like espn have lost all their credibility

Douchey comments from a douchey guy.

Yeah another opportunity to use my new favorite quote
You mad bro :D
The guy would be no one if it were not for his 15 minutes of fame during Hard Knocks. Who cares about what a ST coach has to say?

And here is the difference between the prestigious team we root for and the Jest
What Steve said when he signed…
I’m on my way back to NYC but my helmet has changed. I’m excited to get the opportunity to help this prestigious franchise win a world title …Very blessed to help carry on a prestigious tradition in the greatest city in the world. New York Football Giants!!! Go Blue!!!
And his response to Westhoff…
Steve Weatherford took the high road regarding Westhoff comments. He said he enjoyed playing for the HOF coach.

Just visited Gang Green Nation
I was wondering what the hell is going on. I mean Jets/Cowboys is the marquee game on Sunday. Primetime at “Jetlife” Stadium. And all they can do is talk about us?
There was actually a good item about the Mangold/Ratliff match-up.
Then I saw that the most commented post had like 25 comments.
So the short answer is nothing is going on at Gang Green Nation.

So?
I never attempted to “egg-on” or degrade the jets on their blog. Does it really matter what was on my fan pages?

Our blog is relatively small by SBN standards, but we were also the last of the 32 to launch. Pretty much every other blog has at least a year on us, and most have two so other sites have had longer to build followings. We might look a bit small by comparison.
PS Gracias for the kind words.

What's up with the myths that are surrounding the Eagles comeback last year?
“the Giants would have won at least one more game last season with a punter who could [punt the ball out of bounds]”
The game would have still went to overtime and after that huge point swing, it would have been tough for the Giants to come out victorious.
The punter wasn’t why we lost that game.
I gave us a 20% chance of winning at best
It’s almost impossible to pull out of a dive like that.
Then again we should have done it against the 49ers in 2002. AAAAAAAAAARGH
Time to go to my happy place…

We lost, they won
We let that game slip right thourgh our fingers, got to give the Eagles their due, but it’s going to make beating them this season that much sweeter!

Travis Beckum.......
Travis Beckum had to leave practice on Friday when his right hamstring tightened up.
The injury probably will give the starting job to free agent Jake Ballard, who spent most of last season on the Giants practice
Needs to go
Beckum is a waste, when are the gmen finaly going to figure that out?
I think this season
They will finally accept what most of us know.
He is an unproductive wuss.
Potential is just that. Results count and Becks has none to speak of. Watch out, R44 will come and ban us both for speaking the truth!
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.
Tom Quinn Must Go!
It is equally worthless when people are always optimistic or always pessimistic. Either way I take their opinion with a pound of salt because I know they only have one setting. I post my own thoughts, not what either side wants to read.

Very appropriate
Since it’s “I hate myself for loving you” by Joan Jett
Blue is the color of melancholy and honesty
Green is the color of inexperience, envy and nausea.
Westhoff's comments are totally unnecessary and show a lack of class
Imagine if you bought Jets’ seasons tickets and you wound up sitting behind Fireman Ed? You would spend the whole season watching his tuchas.
I like Ballard. I think he is a young Boss. Beckum not so much. Beckum to IR, sign a free agent TE after week 1?
I think Boss is doubtful for week 1. Does he think he is still on the Giants and is supposed to be injured?
whats there not to love....

Fireman Ed is the biggest ass clown in the world...
…and he’s been on permanent disability with the FDNY for a looong time now…but somehow manages to ride some other douches shoulders every sunday, waving his arms around like a retard, doing his stupid YMCA ripoff…just look at that picture…what a tool.
this is what the jets call an 'icon'
you here how some jets fans talk about him and you think fireman ed was 12 year vet on the team anchoring the linebacking core.

It's not gang green anymore
More like “gang queen” – as in the drama type
Quit playing not to lose. Start playing to WIN! Geeez...
They cut him to make the failed run at Nnamdi and hoped to resign him
I think Westhof may be doing full contact drills without his helmet
"That's mostly fans who say that kind of stuff and they really don't understand the process. We have good players on the team. We're not looking to go out and make every sexy splash that can be made. We make solid football decisions. That's been happening for a long time," Reese said
I wonder if Rex encourages the team to rip on the Giants
He’s so preoccupied with making sure his team is the best in area, it’s too bad nobody told him you earn respect with championships, not headlines.
Meh to this and Plaxico

Die hard Giants fan since wide Right! I was 5...
