Rob Ryan Reboots

[Mr. Scot]

Apparently this year, the first rule of Saints Defense is "Do not talk about Saints Defense."

Producing good defenses and good quotes have been constants throughout the careers of Buddy, Rex and Rob Ryan, but Rob says that he’ll only be producing one of them as the defensive coordinator in New Orleans this season.

After a lot of talk about how good the Saints Defense would be in 2014, they flopped on the field. That’s why Ryan says this year will be all action, at least it will be now that he made one last prediction in line with Ryan family traditions.

“The thing is, we did a lot of talking last year and got our butts kicked,” Ryan said, via the New Orleans Advocate. “So I know we’ll be great, but we’ll just prove it this year.”

 

None of that guarantees success any more than last year’s guarantees did, of course, and that’s likely why Ryan’s trying for a silent but deadly approach this time around.

"We'll be a great defense, but we won't talk about it."

 

So are they now officially dubbed the "Silent but Deadly" defense?

They maintain the silent mantra all the way to the field.  They havent been heard from in 2 years.

This thread's gonna be a chorus of fart jokes, isn't it?

[Mother Grabber]

lol...still Rob Ryan.  Not talking about him won't make him a better coach.

They talked about what they aren't gonna talk about? 

 

Rob is an idiot.

Ooh maybe he is unleashing his 1-0-10 Defense

By the time the Saints finally piece together a halfway respectable defense Brees will be retired and their offense will be garbage.

Here he was discussing his amazing defense with his awestruck head coach last season.

What do you suppose Payton is saying in that clip?

[saints4lifeagain]

This isn't the first time he's said something like this this offseason. He's said multiple times that he thought the defense bought into its own hype. I agree, but there was also a lack of talent at imperative spots. 

Im glad he's telling them to shut up. Now, he'll do it, they can get started.

"He who smelt it, dealt it." It may not be 100% accurate or admissible in a court of law, but it is a trusted guideline that has been used for decades by police forces everywhere.
