"We're gonna be a great defense," said the 48-year-old Ryan who inherits a unit that crashed from ninth in the league during the NFC East title season of 2009 to 23rd in the debacle that was Dallas' 2010 campaign. "We're gonna 'sic 'em from the word go. We're gonna be multiple. We're gonna move our 3-4 defense around and get after people. ... The right guy (to make that happen) is standing here in front of you.
"Anybody can talk the talk, but I can walk it. I'm just gonna be myself. I don't know if I got I swag or not. I'm sure I do. I'm just gonna be me and that's usually been good enough."
"I'm here to do a great (expletive) job and you're gonna see that. I was guarded early (in the press conference), but that's not me.
"I'm an honest, hard-working guy, not exactly a picture of perfect health (or) a male model. But I'm a damn good football coach. I'm gonna be a strength, not a liability."
During the preseason on the Eagles:
Ryan took a not-so-subtle shot at Jackson's Eagles and their "Dream Team" status during training camp, calling them the "all-hype team" and saying that the Cowboys would (in more colorful terms) beat the Eagles.
After the game vs the Eagles in which the Cowboys lost:
This week, after Jackson said it was inappropriate for Ryan to crow, Ryan said he would relish any contact with Jackson and would seek to injure him.
He will not fear spouting off in the future: "Hell, I got my ass kicked. It's not the first time I've said something and gotten my ass kicked. Hell. I don't say anything that I don't really believe. Hopefully, this will be the last time it happens."
This preseason:
“I just think we’ll be better than I think we’re gonna be,” Ryan said a few minutes ago on the field. “We’re gonna be damn good.”
But like KingsHolyGrail noted, when was the last time you heard an NFL coach say "Well, we suck"
