The positive Rob Ryan thread

I think because Dennis Allen was once a head coach (a bad one) people automatically assume he's calling the shots over Rob. There is no evidence of that. He's an assistant, period.

Rob doesn't run the 3-4 or 4-3 exclusively. He runs whatever he feels like. He thinks he's going to fool someone that way, and if you look at what's happening, it isn't exactly working. Everyone keeps trying to say we're running a system Rob doesn't want to run. What system deos he run? Do you really know? The guy outmarts himself and everybody wants to give him a pass. I don't get it.

I don't know if DA can run a D or not, but I think his D in Denver was better than what RR has fielded here

It was pretty much exactly the same. They beat the Cowboys in a game that year by a very similar score as the Saints vs. Giants game. It took 50 something points to win. And that whole year they were giving up 30 plus to everyone. And he had both Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil up front.
