Rex Ryan should put his money where his mouth is after trashing Bengals defense

Somebody needs to light a fire beneath the Cincinnati Bengals' defense, and perhaps Rex Ryan is just the man for the job.

Once upon a time, Ryan was the head coach of the New York Jets and led them to two straight AFC Championship Games. Cincinnati accomplished that feat too many moons ago, and are on course to miss the playoffs for the third season running since then.

Ryan had some choice words for the Bengals' defensive unit, none of it particularly positive. His rant came in response to Chase Brown's profane postgame monologue, which implored the defense to do better.
