The case for Rex Ryan as new DC

[BossChief]

Here’s why I’d be happy bringing in Rex Ryan to coach the defense...

1st is we wouldn’t need to overhaul the entire defense as the schemes are similar...but the philosophy is different.

Bob Sutton’s years as NYJs DC team rankings

First year
13th yards ...6th in points
2nd year
18th yards...19th points
3rd year
17th yards...18th points

Rex Ryan takes over HC the following year in09

1st year
1st in yards...1st in points

2nd year
3rd in yards....6th in points

Drastic and immediate improvement

More stats to come on why I think Rex would be a good hire...

The Ryan family hasn't exactly had a great history serving as the defensive coordinator for teams with explosive offenses.

Rob Ryan clashed with Sean Payton and things ended badly for him with the Saints.

And of course Buddy Ryan famously clashed with Kevin Gilbride (punching him in the face) when he was DC with the Houston Oilers.

"Everyone is fighting for their position, so we're at a point where we have to make a change."

Asked why he thought the Bills' defense seemed to regress under Ryan, Dareus told Anderson that he believes "we should've been more aggressive on defense ... because that's the kind of players we have."

"We want to put our foot on the pedal and keep it down knowing what we're doing and being strategic on what we're doing," Dareus said. "Not trying to match up with this team or that team. We want to have our identity [knowing] this is who we are and what we're going to do."

Dareus indicated Ryan's defense was too complicated.

"It was just too much detail for a lot of guys, and I feel like for a lot of guys it was too much going on for them to check here and check there, if this happens and that happens," he said. "Then nine times out of 10, a team will throw something out there that we weren't prepared for -- and then the adjustment to it we had to get used to and try to make it happen and make plays."

"Too complicated. Not aggressive enough."

****. No.

That season the NFL players went on strike. Throughout this period of time, Del Rio and teammates picketed outside of Arrowhead stadium and were vigilantly watching for replacement players attempting to enter the facility. Del Rio mistakenly mistook former Chiefs wide receiver Otis Taylor for a replacement player and assaulted him. At the time, Taylor was a scout for the Chiefs organization and had been retired for 12 years. Chiefs fans who came across the assault told Del Rio that Taylor was actually an 11-year veteran and legend in the Kansas City Chiefs organization. Taylor would later press charges and the two would settle out of court.[11]

Not on the Del Rio express, but holding 3 decade old grudges can't be healthy.

Well this doesn't sounds familiar AT ALL.

I think del Rio is basically the DC for cincy once the Bengals announce their new head coach.

For those of you saying HELL NO to Rex Ryan I'd like to point out a couple of things..............

Rex Ryan's Worst:

Points = 24th

Rushing Defense = 29th

Passing Defense = 22nd

Yards = 19th

Below I have highlighted with green boxes EVERYTIME his defense was top 10 in each of those categories

So for those of you keeping count...........

Rex Ryan's Career Averaged out where his defense ranks

Yards = 7th
Passing Defense = 9th
Rushing Defense = 10th
Points = 13th

The Ravens defense is making everyone want Ryan.

We don't have Ed Reid or Ray Lewis on this defense.

So according to this, the last time he had a consistently good defense was...

NINE seasons ago.

Rex Ryan was in the top 10 every year he coached at either pass defense or run defense. We were 29th and 31st in run and pass

[mcaj22]

Yo I'll say it

Those Jets teams that prop up guys like Sutton and Ryan were absolutely STACKED with talent. The fact that Sutton and Ryan have held onto jobs this long after all those guys on the Jets have been out of the league is amazing. Anyone on this board could have coached those Jets defenses to top 10 finishes.

They were solid at every single position on the field. They carried MARK SANCHEZ at QB to two AFC Conference games for goodness sake. Those coaches should get zero credit for that. There was no development, it was all veterans or can't miss prospects that played above and beyond the scheme.

Bob Sutton fielded FOUR top 10 scoring defenses when he was here. In 2014 and 2015, they were one of the best defenses in the league.

Stats don't tell the whole story.

DO NOT want Rex Ryan, there is no case for him. This team needs NEW blood.
