Rob Ryan: Everybody is Competing on Defense

Re: Rob Ryan: Everybody is Competing on Defense
 

Ryan must be under some sort of gag order or something . He didn't run his mouth about anything and I was so surprised that he didn't try to be bigger than life.

Re: Rob Ryan: Everybody is Competing on Defense
 

I like it. A new attitude to this defense is just what we need.

Re: Rob Ryan: Everybody is Competing on Defense
 

I think getting fired was a reality check for him. I actually liked what he had to say. I also like that you don't ever have to guess what he's thinking, but it was past time to tone it down. I'm not sure if the D is going to be talented enough to call good, but I think he can build a quality defense in time. It may take a few years for that, but any improvement immediately would be greatly appreciated.

I think most of us would be will to buy him some groceries for just getting this D to be ranked #20 in the league...

Re: Rob Ryan: Everybody is Competing on Defense
 

20 I want a #1 rated D.

Re: Rob Ryan: Everybody is Competing on Defense
 

Thats the way it should be, no ones spot is safe until youve fought for it

Re: Rob Ryan: Everybody is Competing on Defense
 

Is he as much of an ass & a braggart as his brother? Probably not, of course it would be almost impossible

Re: Rob Ryan: Everybody is Competing on Defense
 

For a 15th ranked D ill keep him in hair gel till he is buried.

Re: Rob Ryan: Everybody is Competing on Defense
 

2 seasons ago we were 13th best defense in points allowed, and we didn't have the talent or depth we have now.

We've replaced Shanle, Cassillas, Porter, McBride, Herring, Dunbar, Rogers, Franklin, Charleston, Ellis, and King.

Starters in red.

We can surely become a top tier defense with who we have now. Talent isn't the problem.
