I can't say I didn't have my doubts, I think I was more suprised that spagnola was the scapegoat for everything that happened last year defensively....I thought Shawn would give him a pass..... I'm really glad he didn't. I want the win, no doubt.... Get this bullish-- road playoff record crap off our shoulders....

I was good with it. Ryan has had plenty of good defenses. He didn't make his name just by being Rex's brother, he has always been a good DC.

Guilty also......just couldn't see what Ryan would bring to the team when he was signed. I couldn't get past the "goof" image Rob portrays, but he has some serious skills as a DC! I will gladly eat crow on this one!

i am not there yet. i will give him time to get some players but sing his praise? nope not yet.

i have seen too many cowgirl flash back with this defense. adjustments on the fly so far in close games or games were we are getting blown out have been unsatisfactory to say the least. defense is easy when your ahead.

one year of Spag does not make me forget what williams was trying to build and his philosophy he was putting in place. The pieces were here before roy boy showed up. he fell into a sweet position and to this point IMO is getting an easy pass to sainthood.

but i will give him time. i still would prefer to have Williams back at this point

my number one complaint is attacking without discipline is the fault of the coaching.

discipline discipline discipline discipline discipline discipline discipline discipline

we lack discipline

but i will give him time.

I was good with it. I knew it couldn't get any worse.

I was just so glad to see Payton have the balls to fire Spaz after just one year that I didn't think much about RR.

Will be interesting to see what Crennel does next year, assuming he is a DC somewhere
