31st in total yards
30th in points allowed.

He has to say "Me too!"
They are dying out there.
Shoulder the blame so the guys don't give up and quit on him.
Step out front and take the beating from the media.
What he needs to do is teach the DB's how to turn back and make a play on the ball.
Teach somebody how to wrap and roll when tackling.
Simplify the puzzle so everybody can see the picture.
It's still 11 on 11.
Did bounty gate outlaw a "Missed tackle" pot too?
How about a "blown coverage" fund for the homeless?
End-zone pass interference costs them double.
Let's see how soon things turn for the better.

Give him time ya'll. He'll either give better results with our healthy players returning and getting back in the groove or he'll help improve our draft status. It's a win/win situation. :razz:

With great yardage given up comes great draft picks. Also firings.

What's disturbing is we are turning into one of those team loaded with #1 picks but get no production. I don't even know how many now but we are getting stacked with them.

Seattle and San Fran had the same problem for years, then they got the right coaches.

Re: Rob Ryan: 'Blame me' for Saints' defense, but breakthrough coming
 

Let me tell you what you just read. You just read a man begging for his players to do something...he knows it is absolute **** and garbage and he is hoping that if he strokes them enough they might do something for him. Remember how he had to go in against tampa and give a speech so we could win a game against a team that had the worst record in the league and actually laid down for us

Guess RR is not going to Ms Mae's then?

Re: Rob Ryan: 'Blame me' for Saints' defense, but breakthrough coming
 

I was wondering this

Re: Rob Ryan: 'Blame me' for Saints' defense, but breakthrough coming
 

RR through his whole career has only had 2 good season as a DC, who the hell else is there to blame.
