Can we put to rest the rues and cries for the departed Rob Ryan and his full-term beer gut?

Not only did he fail to show up for his own meetings at Valley Ranch routinely, his defense has coughed up two games in back-to-back weeks in New Orleans.

Sean Payton was visibly upset with him yesterday. Ryan doesn't have his brother's feel when it comes to when to call what.

Marinelli is eons better than Ryan when he has legitimate NFL players to work with instead of those misfits and vagabonds he had to patch together last year.
 
Was thinking this earlier about Ryan. Seems his 2nd year is worse than his first year with a new team.
 
I like Rob & wish him well. Payton will figure all that out. He's too good a coach not to. No bounties though guys.
 
His defense has definitely looked pretty out of it so far. That final play yesterday was just...ugh. Awful. If that QB had thrown any better a pass that kid could have walked into the endzone.
 
I was never a fan of Rob, some folks thinks he got a raw deal... I think he got the inevitable.

But i'm a fan of the 4-3.... what do i know.

Wow!

Only on a Cowboys message board I guess...

Two games somehow negates a top 5 defensive finish last year?

And a decent defensive performance against an outright lousy quarterback somehow means the Dallas defense is now good?!?!

Marinelli gets a pass for 'misfits and vagabonds', as if Ryan has a defense chock full of Pro Bowlers?

These claims are laughable.
 
I never was impressed with Ryan and he is being exposed this year. Anyone can look could playing for Saints high power offense. I think there D is not that good. Neither is the coach.

Yeah, that should have been a td with a decent throw. That kid is Andrew Hawkins. Michael Irvin chose Jesse Holley in 4th and Long over that guy. Thought he was wrong then and can only laugh at Irvin over it now.

Yeah I liked Hawkins better because I thought he gave you more all around, special teams and everything. I think Irvin only went with Holley because he was a bigger guy and it was nothing more than that.
 
This one I think both the offense and defense were to blame in the Cleveland game. Drew Brees couldn't do anything in that 1st quarter and he also threw a pick 6.

Saints does struggle on D, especially on the side with Patrick Robinson. But, I think the offense should share some of the blame too because Rob Ryan defense actually kept it from not being a blowout.

The problems with his defense will always be there: It's often boom or bust and it's often confusing to his own players. I think Ryan's issues are due to the fact he has too much in his playbook and overthinks things at times.

I don't think he's a bad coordinator, but I do think he has some bad habits that keep him from being a really good one.

Say what you want...Sean Payton was tearing Rob Ryan a new behind on the sidelines yesterday.

Never did like that decision.
