Dallas DC Rob Ryan Fired

The "Idiot Owner" tour for Jerry Jones continues.

I don't like Ryan anymore than the next guy, but the Dallas D wasn't this issue this season. They has a couple injuries along the way, but their pass D was 14 and the run D was 11.

A slightly above average defense with a team 8-8 record. Now, they did have the #3 passing offense, but their rush offense was 31.

Seems to me the D was pretty consistent against the run and pass, but the offense can't run the ball.... so they fire the DC.

Since both team's owners apparently have few answers when it comes to winning, but are good at firing people, maybe our Jerry can fire their Jerry and their Jerry can fire our Jerry, then both franchises can start down the road to recovery from meddlesome owners that do more harm than good.

With the talent they have on the defensive side of the ball and the expensive additions they made to the secondary, the Cowboys defense majorly underachieved this year.

Rob Ryan is just like his brother Rex.....marginal coaches who get by because of their last name.

Agreed, but look at their #3 passing offense and tell me that isn't underachieving as well. When you have zero running game and everybody and their brother knows you're going to pass, and you're still extremely successful doing it... and win 8 games.

I think their D played better than their completely unbalanced, pass-only offense.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
