Rex Ryan locker room speech, Hard Knocks season 7 episode 1



Alright, guys. Lets go ahead and get started.

We have one goal as an organization, don't we. One goal as an organization. And thats to win a Super Bowl, right? How do we get it done?

I want to lead the league in wins. Thats what I want on offense. Lead the league in wins. Ok? We straight with that?

Defense expectations. Hey guys, we don't have Revis in this building right now. Does it matter that Revis is not here? Goddamn. He's pretty fucking good. [laughter] He's pretty good. Ok? But you know what, guys? It ain't about one guy. Its about leading the league in fucking wins, on defense. Isn't it?

Special teams expectations. I wanna lead the league in something. What is it? Wins. How about that?

If we play at our best, we will beat every team in this fucking league playing at their best. So who's it on? Whose shoulders does it fall on? Ours. We affect how this thing turns out. Don't we? And it starts with training camp. We gotta have great goddamn training camp, man. Last year, 'hey we were under the radar, thats a good place to be.'

Fuck that. The best place to be is when expectations are high. Get used to it. Its always going to be that way.  And now lets go out and prove everybody right.

'We know we're better than you. We dont give a fuck if you know it or not. We dont give a shit if you give us your best game. We're gonna give you our best game and we're gonna beat the fuck out of you.'

How's that? Let's go get it.
