A defensive coach in the NFL for the best part of 20 years, Rob Ryan is lending his expertise to the Sky Sports studios for the month of November.
A two-time Super Bowl winner as linebackers coach with the New England Patriots in the 2001 and 2003 seasons, Ryan took to Facebook Live to answer your Twitter questions.
Click on the video above to watch in full, and read on below, as Ryan gives his thoughts on the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles, picks his favourite of the teams' two young QBs, points out what's going wrong with the New York Giants and says who he found the toughest player to coach against...
I love the question. I'm going to go with Carson Wentz - both guys are smart, love the game, but I like the bigger bodied guy, with the big arm. They say in the NFL, 'there's a place for a good little man, but it's not in front of a good big one'. I'll take Wentz to have greater long-term success.
What Wentz is doing, is looking at the defense, seeing what formation they're in, then changing the entire play. Usually, that comes with your fifth or sixth year in the league, after playing every day, but he is way ahead of schedule. He doesn't flinch, he's the star of the team and knows it, yet he holds himself very well. I'm not saying Jared Goff doesn't - he is in a great situation with Sean McVay, growing together - but I see Wentz further ahead than Goff.
That is going to be interesting, to watch that situation play out. It's going to be tough, obviously, if and when you take a star player like Ezekiel Elliott off the field, but if the Cowboys have enough time to prepare for life without him, then they'll have a better chance of executing it. If you lose a star player in the middle of a game, for example, it devastates you.
I know this, Scott Linehan does a great job with their offense, Jason Garrett as head coach. So, with those two at the helm, I think they'll be ok - though they won't be as dynamic - as long as they have time to prepare. They've still got Dak Prescott, Dez Bryant, Jason Witten and that offensive line - I think they can still have success.
I'm not going to blame the owners and, anyway, they're not going to fire themselves! General manager Jerry Reese, I think, has done a great job for a long time, assembling players. It's hard to win in this league though, especially when you have injuries - they have had so many that this year is lost.
If you're going to have to get rid of one of them, it doesn't look good on Ben McAdoo. He and his slicked back hair-do have to go! Even when guys like Odell Beckham Jr and Brandon Marshall were healthy, they weren't moving the football. He is a young guy that got thrust into a head coaching position, and in New York! There are many easier places to be.
They're for real, in my opinion. They have an excellent coaching staff, a veteran staff, with the exception of the head coach Sean McVay, who does an excellent job designing and calling plays on offense. Aaron Kromer is the offensive line coach, Skip Peete is the running backs coach - those guys have been around for it seems like a hundred years - and then on defense you have the great Wade Phillips. What a great staff!
Also, general manager Les Snead has done a really nice job of drafting really good players. Despite having troubles over the last couple of years, before McVay arrived, they've stockpiled a lot of really good players, especially on defense. This group will be there for a really long time!
What I saw when they played the Oakland Raiders the other night, was they threw the ball well. There's your Jay Ajayi replacement! They weren't dropping passes.
Having said that, Ajayi is a really strong, tough runner - he is one of the finer running backs in the league. So, are you going to be able to replace him? No. But, maybe as a team they can grow together and be a better unit. I think that's the intention behind what head coach Adam Gase is doing. But he has a lot of work to do.
Wow. Good question. I think the combination of Antonio Brown and Julio Jones proved to be the toughest guys, especially as both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Atlanta Falcons are good at running the ball. It makes it extra challenging - how are you going to stop those receivers, but also stop the run?
Those weeks, as a coach, you don't get much sleep! That's really difficult to defend, especially when you consider both guys have good quarterbacks throwing them the ball too. With such elite receivers, you have to double cover them, but then how do you stop the rest of the offense?
I love the Eagles! Especially getting the opportunity to watch them play a full game, like we did on Sunday in seeing them dominate the Denver Broncos - they looked exceptional on both sides of the ball. On offense, they scored 51 points against that great defense.
And then on defense themselves, they have the No 1 unit against the rush in football right now! You've got to tip your hat to their defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, he has done a great job. Plus, you've got Howie Roseman adding players to fit Schwartz's scheme.
