Career Summary:
Rex Ryan is in his fourth year coaching the Ravens’ defensive line. The Ravens’ record-setting defense has not permitted a 100-yard rusher in 33 games (37 including the playoffs), the longest streak since the 1993-95 Chargers had a string of 34 games without allowing a 100-yard rusher. The longest such streak prior to the Chargers streak was 53 consecutive games by the Eagles from 1989 to 1992. Last season, Sam Adams earned his first trip to the Pro Bowl and the Ravens set a 16-game NFL record by allowing only 970 yards rushing and 2.68 yards per rushing attempt.
Baltimore’s streak was the longest since the 1993-95 Chargers had a string of 34 games without allowing a 100-yard rusher. Prior to the Chargers, the Eagles’ 53-game streak occurred in 1989-92. The Ravens set a 16-game NFL record in 2000 by allowing only 970 yards rushing and 2.68 yards per rushing attempt.
In 2002, Ryan will help defensive coordinator Mike Nolan implement the 3-4 defense, but the Ravens will continue to use a number of different defensive looks, including the 4-3. Last season, Baltimore finished second in the NFL in defense, fourth against the run and eighth against the pass. The Ravens’ defense finished in the NFL’s top four in several important categories, including first in total yards allowed per play
(4.4), second in total yards allowed per game (277.9), and third in rushing average allowed per play (3.4). Baltimore was fourth in the NFL in fewest points allowed with 265.
Rex joined Brian Billick’s staff in 1999 after spending the 1998 season as Oklahoma’s defensive coordinator. Rex coached the Sooners defense after spending two seasons as defensive coordinator at the University of Cincinnati. He has used the “46” defense, created by his father, Buddy, throughout his coaching career. Oklahoma’s defense ranked sixth in the nation in total defense. While at Cincinnati (1996-97), the defense ranked 5th and 13th in his two seasons.
“Rex is an extremely enthusiastic coach with NFL experience,” said Brian Billick. “He’s considered one of the best young defensive minds in the game today.”
Ryan spent two seasons (1994 and ‘95) with the Arizona Cardinals, his first season coaching the defensive line and his second, the linebackers. In 1994, the Cardinals ranked in the NFL’s top five in every defensive statistical category, including third in overall defense
