After listening to Rex Ryan's introductory news conference on the radio, I'm wishing training camp started today. Seriously, this guy is good. Funny, smart, dynamic ... he seems like the total package and, more importantly, the anti-Mangini. Some highlights:

* Mike Pettine will be the Jets' defensive coordinator. Pettine was the Ravens' outside linebackers coach last season.

* This Jets defense (and team, as a whole), will be far different from what we saw under Mangini. "Aggressive" was a word Ryan often used. “The message to the rest of the league is, ‘hey, the Jets are coming,’” said Ryan. “We want to be known as the most physical football team in the NFL.” (Swagger, anyone?)

* Plenty of questions were thrown Ryan's way regarding Brett Favre. He did a good job of dodging those questions before finally admitting he's not ready to answer whether or not Favre should be back next season. But he did give somewhat of an endorsement to Favre returning, saying, “My point right now is that anybody would want Brett Favre to be their quarterback. Not just me, anybody.”

* Ryan also didn't go as far as saying Brian Schottenheimer has the final say as to whether he returns as offensive coordinator, but he did praise Schottenheimer and seemed to want him to stay on. “I would be doing myself a disservice by not talking to him and seeing if he wants to be a part of this Jets family,” said Ryan.
