D-Coordinator Rob Ryan Not Complaining

One might imagine that by selecting just two defensive players, the fewest the team has drafted since 1962, the Cowboys bosses may have infuriated their new defensive coordinator, Rob Ryan.

It doesn't appear Ryan will get any immediate, significant help from this eight-man draft class. Second-rounder Bruce Carter is still recovering from a serious knee injury. Fifth-rounder Josh Thomas is a depth player for now, at best. Again, this team gave up the second-most points in the league last year.

What is Ryan, a miracle worker? Apparently he didn't complain too much.

"Rob's the best," Stephen Jones said. "When it comes to that he said 'Just tell me who I'm coaching. I'll have them ready.' First draft with him - enjoyed it."

Ryan may not have been expressing frustration with his needs going unmet because, as Jones explained Saturday evening, the Cowboys could still be players to land defensive free agents.

Though Ryan was quiet, one of his defensive assistants did voice some displeasure to head scout Tom Ciskowski on Saturday about his position not landing any young players.

You never can tell.

Depends on how you mean.

I love that Rob Ryan is coaching our defense.

I think for the most part our defense has played like bums.

Im glad we got him on board here with us as well. I think he'll bring some things to this D that will really help, and that have sorely been lacking for awhile now.

However, lets not look at him as a savior just yet. "Rob FRIGGIN Ryan" hasn't exactly coached any defenses into the record books. He's a solid guy, and i believe we have alot of good players on this defense, so it should be a good match.

I don't have a problem with any of that.

My main thing about Fat Rob is his attitude. Some of his swagger is what these players have been lacking, imo. The team has taken on Wade's personality the last few years and has become soft, imo.

Yeah, we need a few more parts, but I'm willing to bet a demanding training camp and attitude adjustment will go a long way for that side of the ball.

And while I agree Rob hasn't coached his teams into the record books, he has done well with his defenses on bad teams. Teams where the offenses haven't really had the talent to do his defenses any favors.
