Rob Ryan needs to go, someone other than Ingram needs to run the ball.

There it is in Black & White!! Defense ranked 29th. out of 32 teams.

Re: Statistical rankings
 

When was the last time we won a game?

Re: Statistical rankings
 

Actually it is an improvement believe it or not. I know the season is young but in total defense we rank

29 New Orleans Saints

opppsss that is after 3 games. but the way things are going I will take anything as a sign of victory.

Beats 31st

Re: Statistical rankings
 

It's not Ingram. It's the O Line.

Maybe Ryan can play Left Guard?? :beer:

Re: Statistical rankings
 

From 31st to 29th, at this pace it will only take 12 1/2 years and we'll be a top 5 D. Something to look forward too isn't it.

Re: Statistical rankings
 

It has more to do with tge type of run plays being called.

When was the last time we ran a draw? Or out of a passing formation?

Payton is the most predictable play caller in the game. He'll load the line in 2 or 3 TE sets with a FB allowing the D to load the box. Now that was ok in the past when we had a vertical passing attack because the d still needed to respect the pass. However now the d knows its a run or a pa pass so you have the front 7 play run and your FS stay deep waiting for the bomb.

We should be running out of passing sets and shotgun, but we have a coach who hasn't changed his playbook in 10 years. Everyone including my wife can predict 90% of what he is calling.

Additionally going to the zone blocking scheme to better suit ingram was a mistake and hasn't paid off.

Re: Statistical rankings
 

No doubt, the line on both side of the ball are struggling so far.

Re: Statistical rankings
 

I don't remember.

Re: Statistical rankings
 

Actually this team had NEVER WON a game

Re: Statistical rankings
 

How sad! Being "happy" about being 29th!

Re: Statistical rankings
 

Sad is that our defense is 29th after facing Tampa's & Carolina's offenses. It'd be different if it was after facing New England's & Green Bay's offenses.

Key stat. 0-3. Dead last.

Re: Statistical rankings
 

Hey, we were fifth in passing.......seriously, who woulda' thunk it?

Re: Statistical rankings
 

True. Won't surprise me if we make Weeden look like Marino on sunday. Especially behind that O-line.

I'll be curious to see how we defend Witten. If that crap vs Carolina repeats itself (defending Olsen) then this coaches either are stupd or they don't care enough.
