Rob Ryan Reacts To DeSean Jackson’s Comments

First during the summer, Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan called the Eagles the “All-Hype Team” rather than the “Dream Team”. Earlier this week, Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson said that Ryan should have much to say because he doesn’t play.

“For a coach to say that, it’s hard for me to. . . . I wouldn’t expect that from a coach because he’s not out there playing,” Jackson said. “He’s calling plays and putting his defense in the right position to stop the offense. But as far as a defensive coordinator, that’s kind of unheard of, uncalled for.

“It [would] be good if his players said that. Then I could understand that, because we’re all out on the field with them so I’d be able to get a shot at that player who said something crazy. But for a coach, it ain’t like I can go run on the sideline and cut up the coach, run past them and score a touchdown.”

Ryan shot back at Jackson today.

“I know that Jackson said it’s not right for me to comment, and he’s right about that, that I don’t play on Sunday,” Ryan said in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “I know he wishes I did. I mean, hell, he doesn’t have to worry about tackling me. If he does, he can tackle me. That’d be great, because I’m going to land on his shoulder and put him out. So that’ll be awesome. Hell, he can tackle me two or three times.”

This is a lot to do about nothing. Jackson’s battle isn’t with Ryan, it’s going to be with the Cowboys players. If he can get deep on the Dallas corners, quarterback Michael Vick will get the chance connect deep for a big play. Getting ahead of the Cowboys could make Dallas quarterback Tony Romo to start forcing things as he looks for the big play.

I think this game is going to be decided by which team turns the ball over. Both quarterbacks will get pressured, but one of them will likely let the pressure cause them turn the ball over.

Oh Boy,
He really needs to worry about having his team ready to play on Sunday. The only thing he is going to see is DJ’s dust as he is running past the Dallas sideline going in for the final game winning touchdown!! Book It!!!

They have to effectively run the ball FIRST. Clay Harbor and Steve Smith and Jason Avant should also get some extra playing time in that 3rd WR spot

Guys you want to hear something crazy?

Andy’s qoute from yesterday.

“We’re going to run the football. That’s what we do,” Reid said. “We’re not going to stop running the ball.”

Tell me this guy is not delusional.

Take away Vick’s scrambling out of broken pass plays and we’re no where near the top team in rushing.

but, for those who haven’t been watching Andy’s game plan for years sniff what he’s shoveling…..

“We’re going to run the football. That’s what we do,” Reid said. “We’re not going to stop running the ball.”

THAT’S WHAT WE DO!
