Go prove everyone wrong. Thanks for the memories.

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

Do you really believe after finishing 4th in defense the previous season Payton had anything to do with the scheme change? Because if you do I have some bridges I'd like to sell you, real cheap. Ryan tried to do the same thing in Dallas. It didn't work and he can't blame that on Payton.

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

here is where you can see what people thought about his hiring. It is kind of cool to go back and see what you thought:

The game shouldn't have been that close to begin with. Vernon Davis should have been doubled off the line. None of their wideouts would've hurt us. But, what's done is done.

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

In 2013 his last year, Malcolm gave up only 486 yards which was second best among Safeties. The kid worked perfectly with Kenny because they both were versatile. We lost that versatility with Byrd. But hey, to each his own.

Here is what I said:

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

In 2010 Seattle kept attacking Roman Harper in coverage. If Jenkins plays that game that TE doesn't go crazy with the catches.

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

of course they attacked him in coverage because Harper couldn't cover my grandmother and she's been dead for years.

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

Exactly and that was because Jenkins missed that game due to injury. If he had played, he would covered the TE not Harper.

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

By no means am I trying to remove Rob Ryan from blame(he deserves it), but certain moves shouldn't have been made.

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

Stfu Rob, so it was the head coaches fault when the other teams fired you too?

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

Why hasn't this thread been merged with the 2016 Coaching Staff thread?

Hahahahaha!

He did a damned bad job and got paid for it!

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

I was talking about 2014. We lost the division because of the offensive ineptness against Atlanta.

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

We lost the division because we won 7 ( one Tampa gave us ) ganes that year. We won 7 games because our d stunk and the online, especially at center, wasn't very good.

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

Average talent at best on defense. Bad coaching overall. The situational coaching in particular was horrible. There's just no other way to see it.

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

He is an unsuccessful DC. His record proves it. If not for his lineage and his larger than life persona(not a jab at his weight)he'd probably be coaching in some small state college.

His game plans are overly complicated and he can't make in game adjustments.

When he has all the players healthy and he has talent he can produce an adequate defense. He was decent in Dallas until injuries struck hard and got him fired. Then the bad luck followed him to New Orleans. It's hard to beat a good team when you are starting backups and they are missing assignments.

One of the analysts on the NFL channel made a good point when he said Rob Ryan didn't miss tackles or take bad angles. And this is true. They backups were not really ready to play in a starting role. However, he didn't hold them accountable either.

Sean Payton could see that his defense was floundering which is when he insisted that Ryan simplify his defense. Having said that I want to say this. Don't ever let Payton influence the defense!!!
He is great with the offense but he just doesn't get "it" when it comes to defense. Hopefully DA will get the job done. We shall see. But I think we've got the pieces in place to be a good defense. We have returning valuable rookies. We are getting back players from IR. And this years rookie class appears to be highly talented. Screw Rob Ryan! He'll throw his brother under the bus next.

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

Apparently Rob is up in Buffalo **** talking the patriots...moron

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

Didnt he also make excuses after he was fired in Dallas? I wish it would've worked out w him here cuz I would've started showing up at Ms Mae's on Sunday nights.

Well lets look at the games we lost. I will give you Atlanta on defense. However, Ingram was the best player that game. The offense still had the chance to win in OT. We were up 20-7 at halftime. On the other team's turf week 1 you cannot expect them not to try to come back. Brees did not put this game away.

Week 2-Cleveland, this is again on the offense, we had the ball and the chance to put the game away. Oline got Brees sacked on a big play. That Cleveland team ended up starting out 6-3.

Week 4-Defense was bad but offense didn't deliver either until it was too late. We held Bryant to 44 yards on top of it. Graham gave up on a pass that got picked when the saints were trying to get within 7.

Week 5-Again, Brees struggled early which led to the bucs nearly winning but somehow they tightened up in the second half and got to OT where we won.

Week 7-Had Brees not thrown that int, we don't lose that game.

Week 10-Again, this was a tight game, and the big fourth down play was what led to this loss. However, Graham really lost this game. And, Colston put a cap on it. This was the second OT this season he lost the game. But it was SF and we basically just allowed three more points in regulation compared to the season before.

Week 11-The offense did nothing this game. 27 points allowed does not happen without some offensive production.

Week 12-The defense lost this one here, yes.

Week 14-We never even put up a fight.

Week 16-Again, I already explained.

I'm not defending RR but I was more annoyed with the offense this year(and Graham) than I was the defense.

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

Who cares... offense or defense; RR is gone now and the DA era has begun...

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

So we have the worst defense in the NFL and you find a way to put most of the losses on the offense...

You can't expect the offense to play a perfect game every week just to try and keep up/cover up for a poor defense.

"We lost that game because Brees threw a pick. Yeah, so what the defense gave up 42 pts, but remember the 1 interception Brees threw." lol....

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

WE WON 7 GAMES, AND ONE WAS GIVEN TO US...

I mean this is why we lost the division.

I don't care who your annoyed with, the defense was ranked 32.

You're right about the oline, however, especially at center, which was why we moved Jimmy and his huge contract for Max.

It was a mixture of things in '14, the oline and the defense, but the defense being 32 is a huge problem. That said you're right about the oline, I don't think anyone would say otherwise, I remember a sackless **** like Atlanta destroying Drew all game in the dome

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

That's it. The oline had issues, no doubt, but being 32 is a problem...no way around it

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

And I couldn't be happier

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

So I remember saying this on the other forum and it makes a lot of sense. Seattle got in our heads in 2013 and forced SP to try to implement a Seattle-style defense that RR was not accustomed to. That is losing your identity. The defense was not why we lost that game, we lost that game because we were in Seattle and we were in Seattle because they won 13 games that year. We needed to win three more games and we had a chance to do that but the offense gives the ball back to the team to to win two of them and the other we just struggled against a team who was undefeated at home.

To absolutely neglect the offense that season was no excuse. We could held on to what we had on defense and put our focus on oline and receiver that offseason. Would the defense have been as bad had we done that? I'm not sure. but at least we would not have struggled on the offensive side as well.

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

In 2013 the defense got the offense out of a lot of jams they go themselves into. That's the kind of defense I want, only better against the run.

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... What? Izzit football season already????

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

Only in the first couple weeks and in Atlanta and against SF. Otherwise, we were dominant at home and lost our last three road games. I mean I don't know if that defense is coming back but the offense should not be in those situations to begin with, especially at home. Brown's problems did not cost us at home that year, but on the road it did.

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

I did say I want them to be better against the run. The season we lost those road games is because that defense was such a disaster against the run. The reason we beat Atlanta was because they had no run game. We beat SF because all they tried to do was run and Ryan put 8 men in the box. Kap couldn't capitalize. And the offense put themselves in those situations. Who is Brown?

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

Yeah! But What If?

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

I'm pretty sure "did a damn good job" and 31st ranked defense are mutually exclusive standards.

In his 12 seasons as a Defensive Coordinator he only had 3 that ranked in the top half of the league.

He has a history of making excuses but not good defenses.

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

So what you are saying Rob, is; I'm pissed I lost my job while performing poorly at it. So, I'll take my ball and go to my brother's home.

Now go get some GD snacks with Rex! Loser.

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

The Rougarou is just mad because the food was better in New Orleans.
Plus now he has to deal with getting wing sauce stuck all over his face.
I'm just glad that he's up North outta here.

Re: Rob Ryan: "I did a damn good job and got fired for it"
 

Now can we please let this ****in' thread die?

LOL Indeed!
