Rob Ryan: Everybody is Competing on Defense

Re: DC Rob Ryan talks Defense/being with Saints
 

I will trust in The Big Lebowski & hope that he can put our guys in the right postions to make plays in 2013. Time to go to work!

Re: DC Rob Ryan talks Defense/being with Saints
 

How can you not like this guy?

Re: DC Rob Ryan talks Defense/being with Saints
 

He seems like a good fit for the defensive side opposite SP.

He certainly can talk the talk, but I'm more excited to see if he can produce on the field when it really matters.

Re: DC Rob Ryan talks Defense/being with Saints
 

yep same old same old. bill taught him well. say little kiss the right butts and get out of there.

Re: DC Rob Ryan talks Defense/being with Saints
 

But Bill also taught him to win championships with the right formula.

Re: DC Rob Ryan talks Defense/being with Saints
 

Yea I loved the guy with the press. He was funny. He also showed he could be hard ass when he needs to be. He said he has never been with a defense that has been able to pick up on a scheme in the classroom. He did go on to say that weather or not it translates to the field is yet to be seen.

Give this guy some Gumbo already!

"The Big Lebowski"...

...LOL

Reminds me of one of the best football quotes of all time...

"There are teams that are fair-haired, and those that aren't so fair-haired. Some teams are named Smith, some Grabowski. We're Grabowskis."-Mike Ditka, January 1986

Re: DC Rob Ryan talks Defense/being with Saints
 

players love a coach like him.

they'll go the extra mile for a coach like that.

The Dude Abides

Re: DC Rob Ryan talks Defense/being with Saints
 

I just hope he's a little more technically sound than Williams was. I liked that he said he wanted to get better on the back end as well. I also think that if Robinson doesn't get his act together this year he'll be gone next year, because right now he's a TD waiting to happen, even a completion waiting to happen.

Re: DC Rob Ryan talks Defense/being with Saints
 

Oh dear don't insult "the Dude" in that fashion.

I am nervous about Ryan. He talks a good talk. I want to see what come for all the "talk".

Yes - I continue to compare him to his foot fetish brother who does almost noting BUT talk....

So... I am cautious. :brood:

Re: DC Rob Ryan talks Defense/being with Saints
 

Don't care if the players love or hate him. Just want to see some plays being made & a lot of tackles NOT missed

Re: DC Rob Ryan talks Defense/being with Saints
 

+1 !!

Re: DC Rob Ryan talks Defense/being with Saints
 

Relax brother, he assembled a respectable defense for the Cowgirls before key players starting to drop off like flies in 2012. With the addition of players like Victor Butler, Keenan Lewis & drafting young talent (Jenkins, Armstead, KV, Stills etc... ... TRUST and BELIEVE.

More importantly, we have our Captain back.

Re: DC Rob Ryan talks Defense/being with Saints
 

Looks like he is going to coach with fire, I like that.

Re: DC Rob Ryan talks Defense/being with Saints
 

I am not nervous about him,for sure our defense could not be much worse than last years. We already know he can talk and does that on a regular basis but he is paid for results. So when the season begins we will all see if our D is greatly improved then we can like him.

Re: DC Rob Ryan talks Defense/being with Saints
 

All we need right now is adequate.

Just an adequate defense catapults us to top 3 (on paper) in the NFC easily.

Re: DC Rob Ryan talks Defense/being with Saints
 

he was and is one of the best LB coaches in the NFL and thats it. i am still waiting on him to put it all together.

Sorry i can not jump on this band wagon. i have followed him here in new england and around the league.

We already have the talent for a mid twenty defense with any coach that can be flexible. that he can do and so can a monkey

The bark is just that a bark and he always had the bark. it is the bite he lacks.

i want to see product and adjustments then i will drive this wagon

Re: DC Rob Ryan talks Defense/being with Saints
 

If we made more tackles we'd win more games. If we had only learned how to tackle during the season we would have been better last year.

Throw in all the young new talent and we look like a defense with a chance.
