I wasn't a big fan of the Rob Ryan hiring, but I hope he proves me wrong. I will gladly grill the crow burgers myself and wash them down with a fifth of Old Crow if he brings this defense back to being respectable.

he has to sell me on the field not in pre game or post game.

his ability to adjust game plans in Oakland and Dallas during the game have been, well let see, to be polite, less than impressive. both teams had a history of getting chewed up and spit out in the second half. but here he only has to hold the lead and not surrender too many points. unlike the teams he was with in the past were the defenses were asked most of the time to win the games die to poor offensive play.

the dude has an easy job

Saints’ Malcolm Jenkins says Rob Ryan is like Gregg Williams

“Personality-wise they are very similar,” Jenkins told the Associated Press.

"They’re cut from the same cloth...”

“They’re all from the same school...there are a lot of similarities between what Gregg was running and what Rob is bringing,” Jenkins said.

“There’s a line and you don’t cross it, but you want to get as close to that line as you can,” Jenkins said. “We definitely want to be a physical, feared defense.”
