The Rams will be a good situation for Ryan to join, as they were good on defense in 2012. St. Louis finished seventh in Football Outsiders’ weighted DVOA, a metric that measures how a team compares to the average, with emphasis given to recent performance.
Things will certainly get more difficult in the NFC West, with the emergence of strong offenses in San Francisco and Seattle. Both teams have mobile quarterbacks that run the read option, something that Ryan's Cowboy defense struggled to stop against the Redskins in 2012.
