Jerry Jones: Why DC Ryan Was Fired

Dallas Cowboy DC Rob Ryan was fired because of the way the Cowboys played in Week 2 against Seattle and Week 4 against Chicago- both losses.

The Cowboys Week 2 loss to Seattle was 27-7 when the Cowboys committed 2 special teams turnovers reaulting in a very quick 10-0 first quarter lead. Special teams problems...so fire the DC.

They also lost to Chicago by a 34-18 score when Tony Romo threw 5 interceptions, 2 of which were pick-6's. 2 defensive line starters were out for that game as well, Anthony Spencer and Jaty Ratliffe.

So, Jerry, let me get this straight. You lost 2 games during the first month of the season by a combined score of 61-25. In those two games, special teams cost you 10 and Tony Romo's two pick-6's cost you another 14. Take those 24 points from the 61 scored against you and you have a 37-25 ball game. 12 points.

Your offense can't score 12 more points in 8 quarters of football and you're blaming the defense? Your offense put up 7 points in a game and it's the defense? Your offense put up 18 points in another game and it's the defense?

If your offense cannot score 23 points or more in any game and you're probably going to lose. But go ahead and fire the DC... that'll solve the problem with the pick-6's and special team turnovers.

If I were a Cowboys fan I might actually have stopped rooting for them with how inept JJ is. He needs to hire someone who knows how to run a football team and cede any personnel administration responsibilities because he's pretty much proven he can't run a football team.

He's almost exactly like Richardson, great businessman, bad at running a football team

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure.
