Rex Ryan Already Predicting Jets as  Super Bowl XLVI Champions Rex Ryan is at it again.

While most NFL teams are thinking about the labor situation and whether or not there will be football to play next season, Ryan steps up to show and tell all of his predictions for the Jets.

“I believe this is the year we’re going to do it,” Ryan said, as reported by The Associated Press. “I believe this is the year we’re going to win the Super Bowl. The fact is, I thought we’d win it the first two years.”

Where have we heard this before?

Ryan spoke to the media at the NFL combine for a lengthy 17-minute news conference on Thursday, where he didn’t let January’s playoff loss in Pittsburgh affect his confidence.

“I care what our organization believes and what our fans believe,” said Ryan. “If we can improve a little more, then why not us?”

Ryan quickly supported up his statement, suggesting that he’s not the smartest person out there, and he’s not promising any guarantees.

“I’m not the smartest guy of all time and the sharpest tack,” he said. “And guarantee? I don’t know. I just know how I feel.”

Ryan went on to describe in detail how his team is going to improve in order to hoist the Lombardi Trophy, and the preparation for the “championship season” has apparently already started.

“You have time to go back, look at the tapes,” he said. “You start looking at the films. Our offensive staff and defensive staff have been hard at work really looking at where we are as a team, breaking down everything, looking at ourselves critically, looking at what we did well, looking at what we can improve.”

The comment made by Ryan does not deter Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum from his admiration for Ryan.

“Anyone that’s down or feeling bad about themselves, spend a couple hours with him and I promise you’ll laugh a few times,” Tannenbaum said. “He’s a great football coach. There’s a lot been said about his personality, his guarantees, but at the end of the day, we got to judge him by his record. We’re lucky to have him.”
