08:58 AM ET 10.01 | Rob Ryan faces perhaps his toughest task yet as the Cowboys defensive coordinator: This week, Ryan has to find a way to slow Detroit standout receiver Calvin Johnson. Ryan said Friday that Johnson is "a great receiver," but not as good as the Cowboys receiving duo of Miles Austin and Dez Bryant. Johnson has two touchdowns in each of the Lions' three games so far. "We work against better receivers with Miles Austin and Dez Bryant. They are probably two of the premier receivers in football, but this guy is right there," Ryan said. "He's almost that good. He's excellent."

Must be they are running defensive schemes in the trainers room because that is where Miles Austin and Dez Bryant have been spending most of their time this season.
Maybe he is talking about covering the bike?

Miles Austin is a talented receiver and Bryant has the potential but right now, Calvin Johnson is the best WR in the NFL.

Calvin Johnson is pretty darn good, but I think the Cowboys should be more concerned with the Lions' front seven on defense. They are scary!

Exactly. How could he know. If the Cowboys ever get Dez, Miles, and Whitten on the field at the same time it might shift the balance of earth's magnetic field.

He used to say this stuff all the time in Oakland....He'd be talking about how ineffective some team's offense would be ... right before they come into Oak and lay 600 yards of offense down on Rob's D.
