He's kissing bootie to put his name out there for the open Eagles HC job next season.

One of these years the NFL will record the games so coaches can watch opposing teams in the offseason and before they play. That should really help defensive coordinators like Ryan.

I won't complain that Ryan needs to improve faster or anticipate better.

If Ryan is able to improve against the Eagles offense like he improved against the Giants offense, the Cowboys might just walk out of Lincoln Financial Field with a win tomorrow -- provided they avoid turnovers.

The defense is the only part of the team that has shown tangible improvement this season. We can point to actual results rather than anecdotal accounts of how the players are acting or what they're saying.

At this point, any kind of improvement, no matter how long it takes, should be welcome.

“That was a poor, poor job of coaching,” the Cowboys defensive coordinator said Friday in his weekly meeting with reporters at Valley Ranch. “The second time we played them was more up to what we need to do. Took me a while to learn this NFC East, but we’ll see if all the work we’ve done in the offseason until now is going to pay off.

“The Giants and the Eagles had their way with us. A lot of that was me not knowing the league, but I know the league now, so we’ll see how it goes.”
Ryan called LeSean McCoy of the Eagles “the best back in football” and the Eagles themselves the “most talented team in football.” He said a first-hand view last year convinced him.

Well that means he should be fired last year since he refused to do his homework on the most important offenses in the division. How stupid is that?? What new DC comes to a new division and not study the offenses?
