Almost exactly two years ago, former NFL head coach Rex Ryan proclaimed himself to be a ‘toe expert’ on ESPN’s popular morning show Get Up.
“Listen, I’m a toe expert,” Ryan said in a December 2021 episode of the show.
Ryan, who made an appearance on the same ESPN show this Monday morning, is using his self-proclaimed expertise to take a hilarious shot at Chiefs receiver Kadarius Toney.
He has this to say about the Kansas City wideout today in light of the game-changing offensive offsides penalty he committed against Buffalo on Sunday.
“You know I like toes, I don’t like this toe,” Ryan said.
In case you missed it last night, here’s the play in question.
Toney was ultimately flagged for the rare offensive offsides penalty which nullified a wild lateral touchdown.
Kansas City would go on to lose 20-17 after failing on a fourth-and-long attempt later that same possession.
The loss not only moved the Chiefs to 8-5 on the season, but also dropped them to two games back of the Ravens for the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
The Chiefs will be back in action in Week 15 against the Patriots.
There was so much fallout from the Kadarius Toney offsides penalty that wiped out what would’ve been an all-time legendary play by Travis Kelce at the end of Sunday’s Bills-Chiefs game, so let’s go bullet points.
Whether or not you like the call, this overhead shot, when you click on it, gives you the best view of how offsides Toney was on the play.
I am the very last person that wants to defend the officials, and I don’t love the call, but I have to defend the ref who threw the flag on one point. He threw the flag right at the snap. He did not know Kelce was going to make an all-time play. He didn’t throw the flag after the fact. No matter what happened on that play, the offsides was going to be be called.
• Even though it didn’t count, it’s still hard to fathom just how perfectly Kelce threw that lateral to Toney. He couldn’s have had more than maybe half a second, tops, to spot Toney, recognize that he was open and then make the throw.
