Re: Rob Ryan tried yelling, crying to motivate Saints' defense
 

I would start with yelling at Vitt and Johnson while working my way to the DB coach. Then I would turn around and FIRE THEIR A$$, they have to go first. Then if the players don't fit, wheel and deal, cut, bench , then draft players that fit the mold, get FA that fit the mold. I'm so sick of trying to play the players to their strength crap, teach them to the scheme. It's hard to believe with the DC's that we have had, recently , Williams, Spags, and now Ryan that our D is not at least consistant by now. I don't believe at all with those DC's track records they are bad at all, but all have a common denominator, Vitt and Johnson , those 2 have seen DC's come and go and are still here. I remember the team quitting on Spags when Payton was suspended also, now their quitting on Ryan and Payton, never ever a good sign.

simple they have lost respect in Rob.

Re: Rob Ryan tried yelling, crying to motivate Saints' defense
 

I think thats part of the problem. His players love him. They stand up for him. But he's more of a friend. They're not afraid to disappoint him. Or defy him.These guys have huge incomes. So even though they're friends with Rob, they don't respect him enough to work hard for him.

His players have turned into buddies. And buddies have a sense of entitlement because there's a big difference between working for your boss and working for your bro.

What kind of crying? Did he sob or jst a generic cry? If he tries sobbing maybe that will work?

You know, I wonder sometimes how prevalent this really is in the NFL. I see the new breed of NFL players like Ndamukong Suh, Cam Newton, Reggie Bush, Russell Wilson, RGIII, (the list goes on) et ... and I see guys that come from pretty solid backgrounds ... of course, none of those guys listed have reported having money problems either and I don't disagree that there still aren't players that have to overcome obstacles to an NFL career, just that it's not as common or as big an excuse as it has been in the past, :shrug:.
