    Tony Sparano sounds a lot like his new boss, Rex Ryan. He wants a tough, physical offense. In Rex-speak, it's called "Ground & Pound." First, Sparano needs to get the players to stop grounding and pounding each other.

    The New York Jets' new offensive coordinator steps into a volatile situation, a dysfunctional locker room divided by rifts, finger pointing and clashing egos. Before he can get around to coaching, Sparano will have to be a peace keeper.

    "I'm kind of a show-me guy," said Sparano, who was introduced Friday via a conference call with reporters. "This is a show-me business, it's a show-me game ... Once these players get here, there will be a blank piece of paper as far as I'm concerned. I think that's a positive, OK? Sometimes change is good."
