Let's see if Rex Ryan gets invited to the FOX NFL pregame show.

Host Terry Bradshaw became the latest in a growing line to rip Rex Ryan for his bragging nature, saying once the regular season starts the Jets head coach will "shut up real quick."

"He doesn't play, easy for him to shoot his mouth off," the former Steelers quarterback told Louisiana television station KTBS. "He doesn't make a tackle, he doesn't run the ball, he doesn't make a catch or throw the ball.

"He just sits over there ... unfortunately, I don't think his players are quite as strong minded as he is, and he's putting a lot of pressure on his young quarterback, so if they can't run the football, they're going to have to throw it, and they can't pass protect ... He'll shut up real quick."

Bradshaw then added, "Y'know what, I don't like guys like that, OK."

Bradshaw joins Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, former Patriots safety and NBC analyst Rodney Harrison, former Colts coach Tony Dungy, and Cowboys linebacker Keith Brooking as some of the high-profile NFLers who have ripped Ryan's act, featured weekly on HBO's "Hard Knocks."

"I don't think it's a good deal, but for Ryan, he feeds on that stuff, he likes that. So be it," Bradshaw said.
