mzkp54 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d822b98aa/article/austin-bryant-better-than-megatron-cowboys-ryan-says-yes?module=HP11_headline_stack By a show of hands, who thinks Dez Bryant and Miles Austin are better wide receivers than Calvin Johnson?Well, regardless of what you think, Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan believes it to be true -- which is why he's not stressing as he prepares to stop the Lions' go-to guy Sunday. "We work against better receivers with Miles Austin and Dez Bryant," Ryan said Friday, according to The Dallas Morning News (via ProFootballTalk.com). By Ryan's assessment, that means Megatron wouldn't be any higher than the No. 3 receiver in Dallas. Anybody else agree with that? At least after saying Austin and Miles were better, Ryan had it in him to offer that Johnson is "almost that good." Look, Ryan's confidence in his own guys is a great thing. But it's probably not smart to create bulletin-board material for Johnson, who leads the NFL in touchdown receptions (six) as he clicks with quarterback Matthew Stafford. Speaking of Stafford, he's probably the guy Ryan should be worried about infuriating. Because if Stafford couldn't let go of Cris Carter's diss of Johnson, then we'd expect him to come out firing passes his friend's way in Dallas -- just to prove a point. Could a fourth consecutive two-touchdown game be in the works for Megatron? Ryan isn't worried about it, but he might want to be. "We're going to get after him," Ryan said. "I know he's on some touchdown thing like that, whatever. (Lions offensive coordinator) Scott Linehan has done this before with great receivers with Randy Moss. If the guy is as good as Randy Moss, I'm going to go in there and hide. Thank God he's not, but he's a pretty (expletive) good player." What a joke. I hope the Lions embarrass the Cowpukes. I wish both the Ryan brothers would just shut up. Everything they say is just so abrasive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Megatron is as talented as any player in the NFL but I think an argument can be made for Austin. Bryant hasn't done anything yet and has a lot to learn before being considered better than Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACW Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 The ONLY ones who'd I'd put up there with Megatron is Andre Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald. Those three are IMHO 1-3, but the order is practically interchangeable. EDIT: I will say that Dez has the PHYSICAL tools to maybe become one.

Bibby Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Yes, Megatron is better than Austin and a WAY bigger threat then Bryant. That secondary will get abused by Calvin Johnson. I have no doubt about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least with the other 2 they were somewhat in the realm of belief with their smack talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACW Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 The Ryans are both idiots.

Mr. Jones Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 When Austin and Romo sits to pee are both starting they're as productive a duo to be found in the NFL, but I wouldn't say he's flat out better. Dez may have the physical skills to be as dominant a WR as anyone in the NFL, but he's a lot of work and maturity from making that happn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsGuy Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Meh, just a coach talking his own guys up... Austin and Bryant are pretty damn good. Not Calvin Johnson good, but pretty good. It wasn't the talking his guys up that make folks go :doh: It's his implying that Calvin Johnson is good, but nothing special. It makes him look like a fool. Al least when his brother Rex talks trash, you can tell it is aimed at his team for consumption, not really to diss anybody. Rob Ryan, OTOH, just comes off as a loud-mouthed braggart, who doesn't think before he speaks. I hope Stafford and Johnson destroy his defense this week.

Miles Austin isn't a top 5 receiver in the NFL. Why not just rank the Cowboys starters as the best player at each position and be done with it?

MrSilverMaC Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Well, lets hope Johnson is of the mind that he'd like to show mr. ryan just how wide a gulf there is between him and any wr on the dallas roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
