Ok...I'll play Monday morning QB

[TheBigEasy]

After watching these damn Ravens game after game...Rex Ryan should have been the coach of the Cowboys. We have just as much talent on the field as the Ravens. These guys are all of the field....3rd and 15...Dallas gives up the big play...the Ravens make a pick.

I wanted Rex or someone like him. Someone young looking to establish themselves as opposed to say someone like...well...Wade.

I never want anything from the lineage of Buddy Ryan near the Cowboys.

 

[Sarge]

I'd take a hungry R. Ryan over a fat waste product in Holmgren any day of the week.

The Ravens have an All-Star safety in Ed Reed who is 10 times better than anything we have. Their linebacker corps is also much more solid.

I do agree that our Boys can be better, however and New and Improved Coach Cupcake isn't going to cut it.

Why the Holmgren love?

 

[Rampage]

I would want Rex over shanahan

He's completely overrated. There is a reason Seattle is essentially celebrating his departure.

i agree ramp and sarge. TonyS if we got production from our front 7 like the ravens do our secondary would look better

The first mistake was the owner not paying the big o-line guys. When they split em up it was curtains for that run game, which was best in the league. Then they were decimated with injuries, how is all that on Holmgren??

Please......every team has injuries. Put a fork in Holmgren........stand back though.

Hence the reason I stated that their linebackers are much more solid than ours. Our CBs are solid, but our safeties are not.

We need better coaching, that is a moot point.

Wade Phillips is a better DC than Rex Ryan, and he's been doing it a lot longer and has a lot more experience running a team. There's more to being a good head coach than just running a good unit, as I'm so often reminded on this board.

Our defensive talent isn't anywhere close to the Ravens. Our players have never shown anything remotely like they have. We're soft on that side of the ball save for one or two positions.

no....no hes not.

just because you do something for an extended period of time doesn't mean your going to be great at it.

Well let's break it down.

Our front 3 are right there on average since Rat is a BEAST I give us the nod.
Ware is peerless at OLB, Spencer has promise and Ellis was a man possessed last year (coming off the achilles tear)
Brady has had a break out year, Pro Bowl worthy in fact but the competition was too fierce. Zach is not Ray-Ray. KB is not Ray. We are better at OLB but down in ILB and it's exaggerated because Brady is not the leader Ray is. But who is? Strahan type leadership could come from Ware...maybe?
Secondary it gets bad. Newman is well above average but our other guys are rookies. They will take time. Safety. This is the difference. Reed has half our entire secondaries INTs combined in the last 2 games alone. :

 

[Chocolate Lab]

We don't have more talent than the Ravens on defense.

No, def not but we have enough. (to get better results in turnovers that is)

Ok but you ignored the main reason of their decline...
