If anyone wonders why Rob Ryan's players love him so much, here is a good example of why:

There’s a couple things in our scheme that we’re getting fixed, you just blame me for.. I know we could have done better. We’ve got that worked out.

The run defenders played terribly last year, missing tackle after tackle and being out of position on a regular basis in every game. But RR takes the blame himself instead of throwing players under the bus.
I'm sure that he's telling the truth that the scheme was flawed somehow and it will be addressed. But if he doesn't live up to his word about fixing the tackling problem the scheme won't matter.
