Ryan calls Spagnuolo's defensive scheme "unsound"

[jonathanlambert33]

In evaluating the 2012 Saints defense, Ryan found fundamental flaws in former defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's scheme. Ryan didn't mention specifics but his comments echoed what some Saints players have alluded to at various times this offseason.


"Honestly, I don't think the scheme was very sound in the running game," Ryan said in the interview, which aired over the weekend. "That's not a fault of anybody else. I've just been around football my whole life. I know it wasn't (sound). We're going to fix it. That's definitely been fixed."

People love to hate on Rob, but he's fucking excellent. I'm still furious that Dallas fired him and made him the scapegoat. Had that defense stayed healthy all last year, they were going to be top of the league.
