We need Rex Ryan back

[Mt. Crushmore]

Well, our monthly Rex Ryan for DC thread.

[Mr.Roberts810]

Pees is, in my opinion, a little on the soft side when it comes to bringing pressure. I think we should give him a little time though...should Spagnuolo be questioned??

[K-Dog]

How in the man of all that is good and pure is this thread five pages long ?

 This starts with coaching, you have to play to the personnel strengths. We succeeded under Rex Ryan because of that, we had an aggressive physical roster on defense so he built a game plan on defense that emphasized just that.

 

Rex Ryan's defense was fun to watch, but I don't miss the meltdowns that seemed to always happen on the defensive side of the ball under him.  Remove the Steelers game this year and I haven't seen that from the Ravens for a lonnnnggg time.   Rex comes back, expect undisciplined football in important games and player melt downs.  (Think the game from when the Patriots were undefeated and Bart Scott threw a flag in the stands, lol). 

 

I do agree that a D Coord should scheme to the strengths of his players.  Also it is frustrating, the "Bend but don't Break" mentality.  How about they don't bend either.  But, I just don't see Rex as the answer... or that we need an answer at all right now.  They are playing well, our secondary is just depleted and we haven't had a ball hawker.  If some of these newly signed players begin to develop and create disturbances for receivers I'll be just fine being frustrated

[Bmore#410]

This is the obvious answer and it is YES please Ozzie mend the broken fence we knew he wanted the head caoch job. But john was what the Dr orderd and with the jets failing and failing since 09. I hope he comes here and back to his rootes as the Defensive cordinator of the Baltimore Ravens. We wont hace mcphee but we will have urban and K.L.M back hopefully they both can stay healthy.Maybe pick up a gem in the draft pass rusher sign will hill to a 3 year contract or go with Brooks. But 

i think he will thrive here with jimmy and webby as corners he will be creative and dial up the right amout of pressure and you know our players will love to have him back. Maybe we can restruct suggs and ngata and webbys contracts to create cap room. So we can dip into the Free agent market and then maybe be able to keep Mcphee. I agree with the talent we have and the young players we can be a top 5 defense with a offense thats ready to thrive.

idk, didn't read much of it, but it prbably morphed into a Flacco "discussion".

We need Samari Rolle and Chris McAlister circa 2006 back.

[JEEPercreepermd]

I'd take Rex back for a few reasons. I think we need to be just a little more agressive defensively at times, and deceptive as well. Also, Rex was GREAT at making halftime adjustments. I can't count many times would we see the defense giving up some ground in the first half, then go lights out in the 2nd half.

Only problem is that I don't think Rex would come back. Remember, he wasn't happy that the Ravens took Harbaugh over him, for a while he was supposed to be the heir apparent after Billick.

Honestly, I don't think Dean Pees is going anywhere soon unless the defense completely fails without any major injuries being the reason why. His scheme fits within the parameters of what the organization wants to do ect...

[JEEPercreepermd]

Duse our defense was STACKED that year..Gregg Ngata and Pryce strating Dline.. Suggs, A.D , Lewis, and Scott starting linebackers. McAlister, Rolle, Landry and Reed starting DB's.

Easily one of the most dominant defenses ever.

[The Mom Gene]

Bisciotti didn't hire Rex as the HC for a reason...  and after watching him on the field recently, I understand why.  I'm glad we have a classy HC...  Rex has been nothing short of a disaster in NY.  Stay classy Baltimore.

Yeah that was a stacked group

[Fear_the_Raven]

There's some Indy fans already tiring of Pagano.  That's the man I'd love to have back coaching the defense.

Those exact same fans will be calling for him to win coach of the year if they go on a three-game winning run. I wouldn't read too much into that.

[Guest I-70WestRaven]

No thanks. Rex is not the kind of personality that fosters a total team sense of unity. If he was Steve would have hired him instead of Harbs when he had the chance. We may need a change at DC but we should look in if a different direction, IMO.

Wade Phillips and call it a day

I approve these messages.

[Bltravens]

Wade Phillips and call it a day

One of the more under rated DCs in the last 10 years.  His defenses have always been stout when not decimated by injury.  He does however have a penchant for not dialing back his playbook when faced with injuries I believe.

[Gordo52]

Wade Phillips and call it a day

Would absolutely love

No idea how he doesn't have a job unless he doesn't want one

[Militant X 1]

Rex and his personality doesn't bother me.

[GrimCoconut]

I've always liked Wade Phillips and I would like him here but I don't think Pees goes anywhere. Phillips would be near of not at the top of my list as a replacement, with perhaps Muschamp from Florida if he wants to come here.

[JEEPercreepermd]

I can't see Pees going anywhere. He's the safe option from a FO standpoint.. not a huge name, not a HC canidate, not too agressive, not too conservative..like Mattison but a little better.

However, if the Ravens were to hire a new DC.

Wade Phillips, Rex, or even Rob Ryan would be a good choice too.

[RaineV1]

Wade Phillips would be a good choice but I'd like to see the Ravens try for some new blood. Maybe Charles Kelly from Florida St. He seems to get the best out of his players and the Ravens have two young players that were coached by him, Brooks and Jernigan.

[The Mom Gene]

We do not need Rex Ryan Back....  Sorry...  I will ask this once again....  Do you honestly think he'd come back here and go to work under John, after being overlooked for the HC job???  I don't see it.  He's not that kind of guy.  He's gonna look for another HC position somewhere else.  I really don't see Bisciotti doing that either.  Bisciotti is a classy guy.  There is a reason he didn't give the job to him to begin with...  and he does not tolerate the behavior you see out of Rex on the sidelines lately...

[The Mom Gene]

There's some Indy fans already tiring of Pagano.  That's the man I'd love to have back coaching the defense.

Me too...  but he's a Colt now....  and he's having another decent season.  He's not going anywhere.

[MissRay27]

Not happening. Rex will wait for another Head coaching job. There must an innovative younger defensive coach out there, like the SEC?

I want the Ravens to steal Keenan McCardell from Maryland to truly help develop a home grown #1 wide receiver which has not truly happened as of yet. All the years of drafting a wide receiver the Ravens have really missed on this one. Sorry Maryland love you too, but love my Ravens more.

I'm not a fan of Rob at all. He's not even half the coordinator his brother Rex is.

[The Raven]

Rob Ryan reminds me of the madden player who blitzes every play just for the sake of blitzing.

[Maryland]

Oh please be true... would take him back in a heartbeat. Irsay needs to get all liquored up and make some rash decisions at 2 in the morning like his father

 

Although until Pees has underperformed with a somewhat talented defense since he became DC, I doubt he'll ever leave. His bend-but-don't-break defense works the same on the field as it does for his job security: just good enough.

I like Dean Pees' "bend but don't break" defense. Our front seven is solid. Our secondary has more

holes in it than a slice of swiss cheese. It is not by coincidence that our red zone defense has

been as good as it has been. The secondary has less field to cover in our red zone defense. If the

Ravens can hold the Saints to FGs instead of TDs, the Ravens will win on Monday night. They will not win by blitzing nearly on every obvious passing down with five rushers. When they do blitz, they

should sell out and send seven but it should be when the Saints least expect it, i.e., on an obvious passing down for short yardage in their own territory versus a third and long situation when they

should stay home so that we don't bail them out by giving up a long play to extend a drive. Most, if not all, of the blitzes should be called in situations to force the Saints to punt from deep in theirown territory rather than in situations where an unsuccessful blitz can set up a FG or the winning

TD. This is common sense and it should go w/o saying but we have lost one or more of our games by

sending one of our secondary guys at the wrong time. The long play to Sanu of Cincy comes to mind.

Stay home and win on Sunday night, secondary!

AND no to Rex Ryan returning as a DC and watch out for Rob Ryan's blitzes on Monday night, Joe!

Ravens win by three --- 27 to 24.
