    I haven't really thought of anyone yet but curious to what everyone else thinks.

    Joe Klecko. Versatile player, seems like a Ryan guy.

    John Abraham. Imagine how good he would've been if he was motivated.

    Klecko is the easy answer mainly because he was great enough and versatile enough to play in any type of defense.

    Kyle Clifton would have been very good in this defense.

    Victor Green was the first name in my head.

    I think Klecko would have been a 1st ballot in this system.

    I'd like to add Victor Hobson :wink:

    Kyle Clifton, Victor Green, and even though its almost like it doesn't count, Ronnie Lott would have been perfect.

    Unlike the Mangini D, the Rex Ryan D changes to suit the players' strengths, so anyone that doesn't suck and isn't a pussy would thrive in it.

    Abe, huh? I think Rex Ryan would've sent Jon Abraham packing ten seconds after his first press conference.

    I think Scott-Vilma at ILB would be an insane duo.

    Having Scott-Harris-Vilma would be awesome. Vilma could play the hybrid S/LB Eric Smith role.

    I would have loved to have seen a Vilma-Harris duo. Sweetness comes to mind....
