Rob Ryan’s defense has been bad this year
The Cowboys had 445 yards against former Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, who directed the scheme that led to one of the franchise’s worst offensive performances in years last season, about 10 months after they fired him.
This year, Rob Ryan’s defense was supposed to be better, but they have been horrible.
The Saints (1-3) couldn’t sustain the momentum from their win over Minnesota and lost to the Cowboys in Texas for the first time since 1991.
This defense overpaid Jairus Byrd who has been horrible so far this year.
