100% agree. I have had a soft spot for that man since his first time round with us. Just an infectious character. I Hope he sticks around for many more years. What he said about Epps was just so brilliantly insightful too. Far too often fans just look at stats and come to the conclusion, incorrectly, that the player in question is simply not impactful enough.
This coaching staff is hands down the best I’ve watched at giving press conferences. AP Rob and the special team coordinator are the main stand outs. AP is allowing folks to be real not the fake PR prep versions we’re use to in the past.
I loved when Rob Ryan says he's only been around football 30 years. It makes me think of all the 30 year olds out there that talk like they know the game better than anyone.
I haven't been this excited about my Raiders in YEARS! Rob Ryan got me pumped up, as well as Antonio Pierce, who can motivate a rock into becoming a mountain! This coaching staff and these players all wear capes🦸♂️. Go, Raiders! 🏈
“When I had Sapp and Burgess” reminiscing on his days as Raider DC. “I think we’ll have a great defense infact I know we’ll have a great defense” Love him man.
I had the pleasure of meeting Rob when John Madden(R.I.P. Coach) got inducted into the hall of fame 2006. I have it all on video because I brought my camera... because phones didn't have video cameras then. Lol!! Also met Otis Sistrunk. Got to hold his super bowl ring and he said I could have it. I said really!! He said if you have two dollars in pennies right now it's yours!! Everybody laughed!!🤣🤣🤣 Also met Kevin Green the same day.(R.I.P). Also met Dave Wannstedt who by the way is very tall. It's one of those days that you don't think about too much but when you look back you're like holy crap that was special!!! 🏴☠️💀🏴☠️💯💯💯💯
Rob Ryan is a raider alumni to me… should retire as a raider. Our defense was great under him at its peak and he’s apart of bringing together a defense that I believe is going to be special!
The Ryans are a great football family, and I am very happy to have Rob on the coaching staff, as he is a great hype man, but his Xs and Os are questionable. Thankfully that is not his job.
Just type the name in on Google. You will get a pic and full bio on each guy. It's a bit of work but it's worth doing. Are you pumped up for training camp and the season yet?
Finally confirmation I'm tired of listening to Hondo's nonsense. Ham got moved to the right because he was much better on the right and he struggled on the left period.
