CORTLAND - Rex Ryan is not pleased with Jeremy Kerley.

The wide receiver sat out of Saturday's practice with a minor hamstring injury and is expected to miss about a week, Ryan said. But that isn't all Ryan had to say about the young wideout.

"Jeremy needs to step it up," the coach said. "Quite honestly I was a little disappointed in him in the off season."

Ryan went on to say that if Kerley is unable to quickly adapt to the new Tony Sparano offense he may find himself out of a job at the slot receiver position. "He's got to pick up this new system," Ryan said. "You got to put the time in it."

In the event that Kerley is out of the job at slot receiver, Santonio Holmes would probably fill the void, which would most likely put a combination of Chaz Schilens, Stephen Hill or Patrick Turner on the outside in three-receiver sets.

"Clearly, you want Jeremy to be that guy," said Ryan. "He did a good job for us last year as a slot receiver. He's got the makeup of a slot receiver: a guy that's tough, a guy that can catch the football and obviously has unusual change of direction."

Not good. Looks as if he wasn't in the new playbook during the off-season.

Woah, Rex actually calling a player out? WTF is this?!

He keeps having hamstring problems. He struggled with it in OTAs and now it flared up again.
