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

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
