If we presented to you, gentle reader, the words of a second-year tight end who had 38 catches last year, it might pass by without notice.

But because you’re special to us, each and every one, we give you the words of The Guy Getting Ripped By Rex Ryan.

Jets tight end Jace Amaro, who has been an unlikely center of the storm this offseason after comments critical of his previous coach and Ryan’s repeated replies, said he’s not bracing for a fight.

“That’s the way he is, I guess,” Amaro said of the now-Bills coach, via Brian Costello of the New York Post.

Amaro got the ball rolling this offseason by saying Ryan’s Jets weren’t as accountable, a claim that’s been backed up by other teammates since.

“To be honest with you, I really wasn’t worried about it,” Amaro said. “I had no intention of attacking anybody, especially Rex. I have the utmost respect for the guy. He gave me a chance to play in this league before anybody else. That’s an everlasting thank you to him. . . .

“It just feels like he’s [new coach Todd Bowles] a lot more intact. It feels like he’s ready to go as a first-year guy. I think everyone’s excited about it. There’s a lot of energy around here. A lot of guys are working extra hard, doing extra things. I think that’s really the bottom line. He expects a lot from us.”

Of course, we now expect a reply from Ryan in 3, … 2, … 1, …
