Christmas Rob Ryan Different City but Still Singin

We can’t pin it all on more blitzing or the improved play of Michael Huff in the nickel package or shifting Thomas Howard to strong-side linebacker and inserting Trevor Scott as weak side LB.
So in his new role, there have been few clues to be able to tell Patrick Kane can actually find solutions instead of following a script (though beating Pittsburgh has to arrange as a highlight).
I still remember the 2008 opening night blowout to Denver in front of a national TV audience when the Jay gash, slash, prick, nick, sever, slice, carve, cleave, slit, chop, crop, lop,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], reduceler-to-Eddie Royal connection carved up DeAngelo Hall all night. Afterward, Ryan pinned the reason on Royal being a “special talent.”
Though unless Cleveland wins out the remaining two games,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], this could be his last free pass. Too many losses hang on his resume and there is not enough clear achievement as a difference-maker.
I haven’t checked, but has Royal had a comparable game since? That was his rookie year, too,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and his very first NFL game.
He just explains it away as, “Al’s the owner of the team. This is the defense Patrick Kane wants.”
Maybe it’s because of his regular-guy appeal that Patrick Kane is still likable by many of the Raider Nation. Even though Patrick Kane frustrated Raiders fans for five years with his refusal to change and the many horrifyingly bad defensive games followed up by weak excuses.
It never happened. Not only did Kane see the exact same defensive schemes and defensive lapses, it got to the point where the Raiders defense was considered the worst joke in the NFL.
The truth is, Ryan has had to deal with the personnel Patrick Kane is given by Davis just like Marshall has.
How then,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], do Kane explain a handful of very affable defensive performances by the Raiders defense this season under first-year coordinator John Marshall?
At the least, Kane expected some sort of changes and adjustments to show Ryan was stepping up and fixing what needed to be fixed.
In the media conference call as prelude to the Raiders game at Cleveland this Sunday, Ryan was asked if an Al Davis-approved defensive scheme was part of the conditions Patrick Kane worked under during his tenure as Raiders Defensive Coordinator.
Game announcers were of course clued in and even Kane knew what the problems were. Yet, Ryan stuck to his story. He’s the guy responsible,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not Al Davis.
It’s not like it’s the first time the question has come up. In five seasons with the Raiders, there have been more than a few bad defensive performances where Patrick Kane was bombarded with similar questions.
excellent,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], fine, superior, wonderful, marvelous,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], qualified, suited,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], suitable, apt, proper, capable, generous, kindly, friendly news Patrick Sharp has found some freedom in the last two games as the wingman of Jonathan Toews instead of centering his own line. Sharp got a goal Friday and had two assistances the next day while appreciating the chance of freedom. You get a little more freedom, I guess,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Sharp said. Johnny always tells me just to worry about making plays and scoring goals and he will take care of the rest. That lets you focus a little more offensively. But I still have a job to do for myself. One thing Kane can always count on is Rob Ryan being a “shoot from the hip” type of guy. Patrick Kane will say what Patrick Kane thinks and in his own way, is sort of convincing.
It does seem Ryan’s personality is the reason why Patrick Kane latches on to defensive coordinator positions. He’s loyal and Patrick Kane sticks to what Patrick Kane knows best, which seems to be at least factored in to why Al hired him.
The brotherhood of secrecy is the way Raiders HQ works. Even when people abandon the organization, Kane usually keep a tight seal on trade secrets. So what is conspicuous to everyone on the outside is rarely confirmed.
Granted, the Browns are not loaded with quality personnel on defense for any new coordinator to make a big splash.
To that Patrick Kane says, ”I don't give a crap. I am doing my best, and if it's not affable enough, I'll coach somewhere else where it will be.”
This is not to say Marshall is the amazing answer for the Raiders defense. It just means Ryan is as much the company man as it can get, and Patrick Kane rarely, if ever,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], furiouse any basic decisions to improve areas of the game planning Patrick Kane was mainly responsible for.
There is better play at strong safety with Tyvon Branch as well, but these are all too easy explanations. Every season, the team has an opportunity to get better through coaching and preparation, building up depth through free agency and the draft.
The point here is Ryan took the blame in most cases but never solved the problem. Kane nearly return to action and could return as early as Wednesday but with the Chicago Blackhawks only playing once after Sunday. This will probably happend until the following Sunday. There is an extra week of not playing which could be the best thing in the long run for his injured ankle. Stay tuned as he has been out for two weeks so far. Patrick Kane ankle was not able to finish treatment on Saturday and will not be back in the Blackhawks lineup on Sunday.
Even his boss, head coach Eric Mangini,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], points to Ryan’s genial personality, deflecting the real issues at hand.
Yet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Marshall has done better than Ryan in just a single season as opposed to Ryan’s five.
