Klecko73isGod Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Exactly what role did he play? Marvin Lewis was the genius behind that great defense. Rex was Billick's donut boy. In 1998, the year before Ryan got hired as the Ravens D-Line coach, they ranked 17th in rushing yards allowed. In his first year, they were 2nd (76.9 yards per game) in the NFL and gave up a full 1/2 yard less per carry than they had prior to his arrival. Lewis had been there since 1996. In his three years prior to Ryan's arrival, they never allowed fewer than 101 yards rushing per game. In 2000, they allowed only 60.6 yards rushing per game and only 2.7 yards per carry. In the year before Ryan arrived, they got 39 sacks and allowed an 80.1 passer rating. In his first year they got 49 sacks and allowed a 67.1 rating. Starting in Marvin Lewis' first year as DC in Baltimore, the Ravens ranked dead last, 25th out of 30 and 22nd out of 30 prior to Rex's arrival. In 1999, Rex's first year as D-Line coach, The Ravens jumped to 2nd overall and then number 1 in 2000. Marvin Lewis and Ray Lewis both got there in 1996. They never ranked in the top 20 before Rex arrived. Rex starts coaching the D-line and everything turns around. Coincidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klecko73isGod Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Oh my. It gets worse. PatsFanTx's genius Marvin Lewis has only twice had a defense rank in the top 10 of the league without having Rex on his staff according to Football Outsiders and only once in the top five and never first until this year which is only three games old for them. Rex's defenses have ranked in the top 10 all but one year as Ravens DC and Jets HC, mainly in the top 5 and number one overall 6 times. Yeah, 2000 was the result of the "genius of Marvin Lewis." It must suck to not know a ******* thing about football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 If we're basing it on rankings, here ya go- http://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2014/ Offense- PPG-23rd Rushing Yards-2nd Passing Yards-16th Defense- PPG-19th Rushing Yards allowed-3rd Passing Yards allowed-15th Few things- Despite being in the middle in both passing and overall and near top in rushing, the offense doesn't score enough. -8 turnover differential will do that. Stopping the run and running the ball doesn't so far seem to correlate with winning football games.In short either pass well or die. from fivethirtyeight- http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/skeptical-football-dynasties-perfect-kickers-and-a-weird-nfl-rule/ Chart doesn't load, but you get the idea-rush while the game is still in doubt or when you're ahead, pass a lot if you're behind. Chart of the week In their 41-17 thrashing of Tennessee, Indianapolis had exactly 41 pass attempts and 41 rushes. Balance! The Colts’ number of rushing attempts tied for third-most in the league last week, yet they gained only 2.56 yards per carry, good for fourth-worst. So let’s keep it simple and use this space for a fun demonstration of a football truism: How often a team runs the ball is mostly a function of whether it’s winning, rather than the other way around. In the chart below, I’ve organized plays by the quarter in which they occurred and what the score differential was at the time of the play, and showed the percentage of those plays that were passes as opposed to runs. (For example, the giant circle in the middle of the first-quarter plot tells us the percentage of passes called on plays from scrimmage when the game was tied in the first quarter: about 56 percent.) It’s like watching a trend line develop in the womb. As the game goes on, the pass-versus-run percentages become more and more a function of a team’s lead or deficit. Interestingly, the overall percentage of passes rises from about 56 percent in the first quarter to more than 64 percent in the second — regardless of whether a team is ahead or behind. That suggests that the trailing team tends to throw more often (presumably to help catch up), and the team that’s ahead also throws more often (maybe to try to put its opponent away). But this likely means there’s some inefficiency in there somewhere: If throwing more is better across the board, then coaches are probably calling too many runs in the first quarter. (Conversely, it’s technically possible that teams are throwing too often in the second.) In the third quarter, most teams are still throwing more often than they run, but the relationship between margin and play selection crystallizes quickly, and by the fourth quarter it’s very clear. Aside from some smallish outliers, there’s an incredibly steep (and mostly linear) trend between the two: Teams that are substantially down mostly pass, while teams that are way ahead mostly run.

bergenjets Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Back in 09 and 10, the Jets needed to sack the QB more to be great, even though they were turning the ball over faster than Sanchez could give it back. Jet fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrunder Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I really think that if the Jets make the mistake of firing Rex, we will have the absolute worst defense in the league next year, and maybe for the next 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex's defenses = Cumar Compiles absolutely meaningless stats, but $hits the bed when the game is on the line. Hell, Tim Tebow lead a 93-yard drive with a 1:53 left in the game to beat the Jets. Ryan's defenses are nothing more than smoke and mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 can you at least tell us what he is known for ? what innovation is he credited with ? I think a very good way to judge a defense is redzone TD %. even last year they were #4 in the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about points given up in the final 2 minutes of the half and the final 2 minutes of the game? Over the last 5 years, no NFL team has given up more points than Rex's "elite" defense.

Bugg Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 While driving in Virginia this summer, we saw a driver in the other lane who looked like Ned Flanders come to life. A short time later, we saw another driver who was King Friday from "Mister Rogers" except no crown. Looked like both had copied their style form such TV characters.
