Saints plan to hire Rob Ryan as Defensive Coordinator

lumm0x · 02-06-2013, 04:16 PM

I am concerned about Ryan's inconsistency as a coordinator. He's done some very good things and he's floundered at times. In Cleveland it looked like he was on a good track to making them better and the wheels fell off. In Oakland he turned it around to a top flight defense and then watched it slip away again. In Dallas I think he did decent considering injuries.

One constant factor is that anywhere he went he has been at the mercy of an offense prone to turnovers and putting the defense in terrible spots. We would hands down be the best offense he's ever supported. Everywhere else it's been a case of "we have to stop everything to have a hope of winning" to where he can have the luxury here of being more opportunistic, aggressive and knowing we have an offense capable of giving him leads or not leaving them in terrible field position.

I am up for giving him the chance. But I always loved Buddy Ryan and the aggressive defense that wanted to beat opponents will away.

Rob Ryan > Spags

heck i would be an upgrade over spag

that aint saying much.

Dallas defense > Saints defense?

we handled their defense way to easy compaired to other 34 defenses we have faced

as for top 5 rating heck that aint hard in the nfc east over the past few years.

just does not hold water in book. still never was impressed with the cowgirls defense over the past 5 years.

That, and the fact that he looks like an aging Thor who lost his powers and fell in love with Beer and Buffalo Wings for 30 years.

Lmao. I just spit out my drink ...
