Rob Ryan to Stay "Sources Say"

Halo · 01-07-2015, 09:26 AM

An OLB and a defensive end because our safeties have to double duty as linebackers because of weak line and linebacker play. Scheme or no, we play like that to cover up a weakness.

Also 1 more "for real" CB. Now, how will Loomis fit all that along with key replacements on the o-line into 1 off-season will be a mystery and require super shuffling.

Great,
Hopefully our offense will be less cavalier and we can improve to 8-8?????
We have athletes on defense. We need a DC that understands there strengths and weaknesses. Our personnel constantly looked lost in space.
This is a very disconcerting that RR after 33 games plus practice and preseason games still has the keys to this defense????????????

I'm sorry and I'm not trying to be negative, but keeping Rob Ryan was a bad move. Especially since the main coaches on defense are returning next year. I know they said there will be some coaching changes, but I really don't think Vitt, Johnson, or McGriff will be leaving. Also are we going to draft player who can help right now or developmentally players to give Rob a shot at success. You got to have talent and we don't have much. I truly hope I'm wrong and the Saint defense of 2015 will be a good one.

Talent is not the issue. Coaching them up to their talent is a different story.

I'm also glad Rob is getting another chance. Hopefully it'll work out for the best. If teams are going to start firing coaches after every down season, there would be absolutely zero stability in this league. You'd be asking for players and coaches to learn and teach different schemes every year.

All it's gonna take is a good #2 CB and the defense will be much better. I think they've realized they need to stop trotting garbage out there opposite Keenan Lewis and hoping the result is good enough.

And 2 coverage LBs, 1 ILB and 1 OLB.
