Ryan Slams Raiders RB Jeanty: 'Soft as Charmin!'

Former New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan has publicly criticized Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty, labeling him a "joke" and "soft as Charmin." Ryan's comments, shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team, were a direct response to Jeanty's remarks about the Jets' tackling abilities ahead of their upcoming matchup.

Ryan, currently an analyst for ESPN, reviewed game tape and stated he saw DeMario Davis playing at a high level, contrasting it with Jeanty's perceived avoidance of contact. This critique from Ryan is likely to resonate with Jets fans. Compounding the situation, Jeanty has reportedly struggled with production in the first half of the season as the Raiders have lost four straight games. His comments could serve as unnecessary bulletin board material for the Jets' defense when the two teams meet on Sunday at 1:00 pm ET.
