Eight of Rob Ryan's nine defenses were in the bottom 5-10 against the run.

How's that?

Oh you sly sly devil you.

Thought this was interesting.. Jerry Jones' rationale for firing Rob...

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made his first public comments about the release of defensive coordinator Rob Ryan during a taped interview that aired Wednesday.
Jones alluded to two losses -- at Seattle in Week 2 and to Chicago at Cowboys Stadium in Week 4, when Dallas' defense was almost completely healthy -- as part of the reasons why he let Ryan go.

The Cowboys lost to the Seahawks, 27-7, but two special-teams turnovers put Dallas into a 10-0 hole in the first quarter. As a defense, the Cowboys were missing only one starter, nose tackleJay Ratliff, to injury.
In the 34-18 loss to the Bears, quarterback Tony Romo threw five interceptions, with two of those returned for touchdowns. The Cowboys were missing two defensive starters to injury in that game, Anthony Spencer and Ratliff.
"I didn't like the way we were playing in a lot of cases," Jones said in the taped interview that will air in its entirety Saturday night on KTVT-TV in Dallas. "I thought we could play better before the injuries, and so I factored that in. It wasn't like we had a lot of injuries out here when we played Chicago. It wasn't like we had a lot of injuries when we played Seattle. I didn't like the way we played there.

So basically, Rob used the argument that injuries hurt them (completely true, but definitely not early on) So Jerry Jones referenced THESE two games? Where Rob clearly had nothing to do with the loss..

This guy may be worse than Woody.

Things are different now and Rex has consolidated his power. Who can he trust with his kingdom more than his own brother?

Ah, the Cain defense.
