IRVING, Texas (AP)—Rob Ryan gave brief, bland answers to the first couple questions he was asked at his initial gathering with reporters since becoming defensive coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys. It was so out of character that even he asked, “Am I boring enough yet?”
The charade didn’t last very long.
Once the first cuss word slipped out, Ryan loosened up and offered up the kind of bold predictions Cowboys fans are hoping he can back up.
Ryan insisted his unit can be among the best in the NFL this season despite being among the worst in franchise history last season. He vowed they would be tough and aggressive. He also declared himself the right guy to be running the unit, even if he is the son of former Dallas tormentor Buddy Ryan.
