Paying the penalty: Scott has to pony up for game balls

"Coach Rex Ryan announced on Monday that there would

be "ramifications" regarding Bart Scott's personal foul in Sunday's game, a penalty that cost the Jets their second shutout of the season.

Yesterday, Scott's bill came due. Ryan, who traditionally gives his entire defense game balls for a shutout, will have Scott take care of those duties. Scott, usually very available in the locker room to reporters, was nowhere to be found yesterday.

Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis revealed that he called out Scott on the sideline right after the penalty, telling him what he did was "selfish."

"I kind of got on him and told him that was a selfish play," Revis said. "That wasn't a smart play on his part. You've got to be smart and be wise about those situations. He didn't take it as me trying to come down on him or anything. I heard him and I said, 'OK, just be smart.'?"

Neither Falcons starting QB Matt Ryan (turf toe) nor starting RB Michael Turner (ankle) practiced yesterday, and the status of both for Sunday's game is in question."
