I'm sure their relationship isn't as bad as the media is trying to make it seem... Everyone gets on edge during the game and arguments happen, it's all squashed afterwords though; and winning always helps :bng:

It does, Mitch. I am telling you though, and I am not saying that SP was blowing smoke, but SP is going to say that no matter what. If he doesn't the season is tanked because the defense completely quits. What he said could be exactly how he feels, but whether he does or does not he is going to say that

Re: Payton says relationship with DC Ryan "Is Great" Praises his work ethic
 

Well I ask a question in response: How do the "media" have any idea what their relationship is like?

Seems to me, they're trying to create drama for whatever reason...

Re: Payton says relationship with DC Ryan "Is Great" Praises his work ethic
 

Yeah, I think you're right and the other guy that posted on this thread nailed it when he said SP just f'ed em all.

Hope SP is using the us vs them thing!

The defense really stood up and played for Ryan last night.
Forget they conceded 32pts 16 of them and close to 200 yards was in the final two drives of a game that was won with a defense on prevent mode that never works anywhere in the league.

My only issue is we need to take the turnovers that are on offer, P Rob dropped too many that could prove costly in other games.


Also stop the prevent defense it doesn't work, carry on being aggressive and we won't be any worse off, too many points given away in thr final 2 of each half all year. The offense also needs to be better in the that time making lobg drives and retaining possessions, too many three and outs.
When you watch Seattle at there best if they are up by three in the final 3-4 mins you know they will pound the ball and eat the clock

We "packed it in" with three minutes on the clock.

lets see
you screw and the boss yells at you
you win and all is good for that moment in time

sounds like a standard boss employee relationship to me.

media sensationalism strikes once again.

As much as people will disagree with this, the defense isn't bad because of Rob Ryan. I would say however he should get 35% of the blame though. He's not responsible for poor tackling in the secondary. He's not responsible for poor gap discipline. He's not responsible for poor pursuit angles and he's not responsible for drive extending penalties.

The areas where I think ryan is responsible is the lack of understanding of situational football by our players. Also, the lack of drafting a capable linebacker. Other than that, I just see a lot of bad play by the players. The coaches job is to put you in the position to succeed. The actual execution is on the player.

Get Ryan a proper NT,ILB,OLB and bit of rotation depth and he should be fine. The pass rushers need less snaps to stay fresh and a coverage ilb will solve many issues.
