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.
“It’s a day-to-day situation with both of those guys,” Falcons coach Mike Smith said.
Ryan and Turner were two of seven Falcons starters who didn’t practice yesterday. DE John Abraham, the former Jet, was out with an illness. Also out yesterday were DE Jamaal Anderson (chest), DT Jonathan Babineaux (shoulder), OL Sam Baker (elbow, hamstring) and CB Chris Houston (hamstring). . . . OL Robert Turner (knee) was the only player who didn’t practice for the Jets. . . . The Jets signed offensive tackle Dan Gay to the practice squad.
* Kellen Clemens called out himself for coming off as too negative after the Jets win Sunday at Tampa Bay.
“After looking at the tape, I feel a lot better about it,” Clemmens said of his performance (12-of-23, 111 yards). “I shouldn’t have had that demeanor at the podium, especially after a win. That was my mistake.”
* Smith and Ryan are good friends, having worked together with the Ravens when Smith was there from 1999-2002. Both were candidates for the Falcons head-coaching job in 2008, when Smith was hired.
Ryan, who praised Atlanta owner Arthur Blank and said he thought he had a real shot at the job, said jokingly of the Smith hire, “I think they made a great decision. Not the best decision, but a great decision.”
Asked what went wrong for him, Ryan said in jest, “I think I was too fat.”
