Speeps said:Uhm. Guys, I don't know how I feel about this move. Has Rob ever ran a 4-3?
I don't know how I feel about switching to a 3-4. It would mean another draft just trying to fill holes, whereas this draft we potentially could be adding depth and talent because we don't need to fill so many holes. I do trust Fisher's judgment though, and if he believes Rob Ryan would be a good choice, then I'll welcome him aboard, and root for him as a member of the Rams coaching staff.CGI_Ram said:Speeps said:Uhm.

That was my first reaction.
But; he's another EXPERIENCED guy on this staff.
