Rob Ryan Blames Sean Payton, Front Office for Saints Defensive Failures

The former Saints defensive coordinator goes on the attack and holds nothing back in a recent interview with Sports Illustrated.

Former Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan has finally broken his silence about his time here in New Orleans. In an interview with Sports Illustrated's Jenny Vrentas, he opens up about why his defense was a failure during his last two years. In no uncertain terms, Ryan blames Sean Payton and the front office for making poor roster and scheme decisions, and himself for just keeping his mouth shut and accepting it.

None of this is really surprising, at least not to me.
