Jets coach Rex Ryan has taken tips from Joe Gibbs on how to navigate an NFL work stoppage. "I called Joe Gibbs," Ryan told a small group of prospective Jets business partners. "When they went through some work stoppages, the last two times the Washington Redskins won two Super Bowls. So I figured that would be a good guy to call." Gibbs led the Redskins to the Super Bowl title following a strike-shortened 1982 season, beating the Dolphins 27-17 in Super Bowl XVII. Five years later, the Redskins won Super Bowl XXII, routing the Broncos 42-10 after a 24-day players' strike trimmed the regular season to 15 games, three of them with replacement players. Ryan says he plans to meet in the next few days with Gibbs. "He said take this time to get better," Ryan said. "Take time to gain an advantage on your opponents and whatever you think that is. He gave me some ideas, and I followed them to a T."
