Jeff Fisher says Rob Ryan 'made a commitment' to St. Louis Rams before opting for New Orleans Saints

Jack Vegas · 12-12-2013, 12:46 AM

As I recall at the time the story was Ryan wanted some control over the defensive scheme and they were dead-set on a 4-3. Purely a philosophical difference. And if you look at the timing there is no way he was leaving the Rams to come here. There was not anything even close to a rumor about him coming to the Saints until a couple weeks after he left the Rams.

But the good thing is, they're making tackles and stopping plays instead of wasting their time TRYING to strip the ball. Make the tackle first. A punt, in my opinion, IS a turnover.

Fisher has some gall.... He tells Rob Ryan that he is a bad fit for what the Rams want to do, then comments he has no hard feelings towards Rob Ryan for coming to the Saints?

Fisher says some times people "change their minds"? Jeff.. you told the man he was not a good fit, did you expect him to stay and be your minion to do things your way?

As far as for turnovers... You don't just go on the field and "get turn overs" be it INTs or fumble recoveries. You have to force them and a lot of that is luck and being at the right place at the right time.

Darren Sharper had 9 interceptions in 2009 but he didn't just start each game and go get one lol.

We have missed a few opportunities but those are opportunities, not part of anyone's job description.

Ryan just didn't fit the Rams.

I hope Rob has made a new commitment to the rams, to kick their a$$!

He made a commitment:

I'm going to check this out and see if there's a fit. If not, I'm out.

Sounds like the floor clerk at the Discount Shoe Warehouse is pissed the customer went to Sachs.
