He will probably gamble more and blitz more with their offense leading or capable of scoring so many points

According to Einstein, as you approach light-speed time moves much slower than on Earth.

So as Rob was traveling at warp for five minutes, five weeks passed by on Earth.

As Spock might say: "Fascinating"

What do you guys think? Good move or bad? The Saints also select a couple picks before us in the draft and need D-Line help badly. I bet they take the best DT/DE available. Could directly affect who we draft.

Great move for Ryan because he doesn't have to have a great defense for the Saints to succeed, just a good one.

Good hire for the Saints. As long as we keep Matt Eberflus, I am good

Guess Sean Payton is a moron now.

I would have went with Romeo Crennel, but Ryan should be able to improve that defense. He's not a great coach, but he's a good one. Of course, I thought Spagnuolo was a pretty good defensive coach, too, and he crapped out in New Orleans. So Ryan might have more problems there than one would think.

They're switching to the 34, it's a good fit.

He will likely have better luck there because the Saints' offense will take the pressure off of him and the defense which will give them the ability to be more aggressive. Of course this means we get to look forward to the endless "We should have kept Rob Ryan" rants next season as if the last two years of low turnover, bend and break defense never happened!

If Ryan can get that defense to be average than it's a positive for the team overall.

But then again the players complained about Spag's defense because it was too complicated.

Yeah, I'm a little shocked the Saints didn't do better with Spags' defense.

Romeo Crennel would have been the better choice of the two IMHO.

Is it out of the question to think that SP would hire Ryan after failing in Dallas to prove a point to 'ol Jerruh?

Good move for the Saints because the only Bounty that Ryan knows of is the one he tucks in his collar before second dinners.

UPDATE 9:09 p.m. ET: Larry Holder of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that Ryan will interview Friday, and that Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham will interview on Thursday. Which suggests that the Ryan hire isn’t quite a done deal. Just like it wasn’t in St. Louis.

Spags couldn't get them to buy into his defense and they complained that "it takes time" to learn all of the intricacies of the scheme.

Things were much simpler under Williams but considering the issues we had here in Dallas with assigment busts in Ryan's 2 years the players might have the same objections when they see his playbook in the Spring.

All Ryan needs to strive for is to be average there though, anything more is a plus-plus.

His defense relies on double A gap penetration. When they get stonewalled, that leaves a lot of guys out on an island. The bottom line is that they don't have much talent on the defense.

Man, I was going to say that in my first post in this thread: That we better hold off because it's probably just another case of someone jumping the gun.
