This is a damn good hire
http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nfl...ory?id=6027162The Dallas Cowboys will hire Rob Ryan as their defensive coordinator, a team source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
More on the Cowboys
Calvin Watkins, Tim MacMahon and Todd Archer have the Dallas Cowboys blanketed for ESPNDallas.com.
Ryan interviewed with Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett and owner/general manager Jerry Jones on Friday. While Ryan still has a year left on his deal in Cleveland, the Browns will go in a different direction under new coach Pat Shurmur.
Ryan, the twin brother of New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan, has spent the past two seasons as Cleveland's defensive coordinator after a five-year stint with the Oakland Raiders. He won two Super Bowl rings in New England as the Patriots' linebackers coach. His father, Buddy, was a longtime NFL coach and irked many Cowboys fans during his time in Philadelphia.

I wonder if this increases Dallas' interest in Namdi since he played under Rob Ryan in Oakland
gg NFL
Is this the cue to start acting like y bas s again? Or do we have to wait until the offseason?holy !

Let's wait til we know there's actually gonna be a season next year
I feel bad for you guys. Have fun rushing 3 or 4 and keeping 8 back.
ITT: Cowboy fans thinking the Cowboys hired the Jets coach as their defensive coordinator.
Solid joke, but your fan base is comprised mostly of cowboy fans. So this won't get as many lols as your accustom to.
I'm surprised we didn't see the customary "this shtick is just bad, scoff scoff scoff..."
Then a re-edit with what a spur fan would say
Grey Named Spurs Fan
OMG Mavs are losers! LOLOLOLLOL
That's funny, I was thinking the opposite. Have fun watching your corners get left on an island against superior receivers because of reckless all-out blitzes.
ha. Look at 920, followin me around with his little remarks.
For some reason, JoeTait gets asshurt whenever someone leaves Cleveland and thinks they're the worse than dog . If MJ played for the Cavs and then got traded he'd say something like " that gambling piece of , he sucks anyway"
other than that an overall solid poster, imho
Eh, not so much in this case. I'm not hating on Ryan though that's how it comes off. I'm not sure he's a great football mind but he does get guys to play hard for him.
I am saying he's overly blitz-happy, though, because he is. Sending nine guys at the quarterback and leaving Eric Wright one-on-one with Anquan Boldin isn't exactly sound strategy, especially when Boldin had been beating Wright like a rented mule all over the field the entire game.
But yeah, I get butt-hurt at times. Guilty. Who doesn't, though?
Maybe it was just Al. But Oakland blitz'd quite a bit this year.
Maybe Rob changed his MO when he came to Cleveland. We lost the Tampa Bay and first Baltimore games in large part because of ill-advised blitzes that led to big plays to single-covered receivers.
We didn't blitz as much after the first three games. Either Ryan adjusted or Mangini reigned him in a little bit.
As for Ryan, the one thing I like about him is the confusion his defenses create pre-snap. that gets me all tingly inside considering the fact that we just had to deal with the vanilla defenses of Wade Phillips. And I think Dallas is more adept to handle his scheme than Cleveland could simply because of Ratliff, Ware, and Spencer.
No disrespect to Raider, or Browns fans, but Ryan never had a Demarcus Ware to work with like he will now. Ryan should bring some much needed toughness to the Boys D. I like the hire.
Really?
Darrell Russell was 2x All NFL, Charles Woodson plus a host of other All Pros and whatnot. They had a young Woodson, Asomugha, Phillip Buchanon, Ray Buchanan, Eric Allen and Marques Pope all on the field at once in the secondary then. The middle was filled with guys like Biekert and Coleman and they had Russell and Upshaw and the like up front. The D is what made them decent before Grandpa Gannon came off of 20 years on the bench to have one shining MVP season. If you listen to Woodson interview today, he will still tell you the 'tuck rule' defense he played on was his best one (2001), and that's an NFL D MVP.
Right now, Ware is nothing more than a perrineal all pro; Roy Williams was, too, how'd that end out?
You sound a bit butthurt, which wasn't my intent, but meh. My point was Ryan hasn't had a talent to coach like Demarcus Ware as a elite passrusher, be it the Raiders, or Browns.
My point was Ryan had plenty of talent, albiet maybe not someone who hasn't proven to be more than a flash in the pan, yet. Right now, everyone thinks he is the bee's knees because he plays for skeletor, i.e. Roy Williams making pro bowls when he couldn't cover my deceased grandma, Romo making the pro bowl after playing 5 games, and the annual cowgirls of arlington love fest that happens.
Case in point - Ware has zero reason to be named pro bowl this year especially over Briggs and Urlcher and Fletcher and Tuck; but he did because of the uniform he wears. Just like all RW ever did was make a drmatic hit when the WR already caught the ball (couldn't cover) Ware either makes the sack or watches the play go by him - he's all pursuit and no tackle.
I don't think Ware is the best talent Ryan's ever had because I think Ware is vastly overrated.
yeah 15.5 sacks while facing constant double teams is not very impressive.
Your replys have failed in every way so far. You keep bringing up Roy Williams like your zinging me, but in case you haven't noticed, Roy Williams is not with the Cowboys no longer, hasn't been for a few years now. And yes Roy Williams was overated, but what Roy Williams has to do with the hiring of Rob Ryan, or Demarcus Ware, I don't know, maybe you need to enlighten me on that one. You can hate on the Cowboys, but if you think Ware is "vastly overated", I think you need to watch alot more more football.
