Le'Ron McClain downplays minor flap with Rex Ryan

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens Pro Bowl fullback Le’Ron McClain declined to escalate a war of words with outspoken Jets coach Rex Ryan.

McClain said Monday that he was glad that Jets star cornerback Darrelle Revis ended his 36-day holdout.

“So, there won’t be no excuses now,” McClain said.

One day later, Ryan responded in kind.

"I don't know what's wrong with Le'Ron,” Ryan said. “He said something about there's no excuses. He must have us confused with somebody else.

“I don't think we make any excuses. Last year, we didn't have our starting 11 guys on defense for a single game and yet we led the league. We don't make excuses. All we do is produce, and that's what we're planning to do Monday night."

So, McClain downplayed the minor controversy Wednesday.

“I think Rex said something already,” McClain said. “I didn’t mean for him to take that the wrong way or anything. I was just saying I hope everybody’s back so neither team would have any excuses of playing, us and them. I’m just looking forward to the game.”
