You can always count on senior defensive a sistant Rob Ryan for good quotes when he takes the podium for media availability and he certainly didn't disappoint ahead of the team's second practice of mandatory minicamp on Wednesday, when he took a shot at the Philadelphia Eagles.Ryan heaped praise on the Raiders' defense and mentioned safety Marcus Epps specifically. When talking about the former Eagle, Ryan said Anthony Rush Jersey he thinks Philly's defense suffered a big lo s when Epps left for Las Vegas.And, in the proce s of saying that, he took took a jab at the Eagles, a team that has no doubt seen a ton of i sues on the defensive side of the ball in recent years."Marcus Epps is so much better Briley Moore Jersey than people think," Ryan said, per . "The Eagles blamed the eight coordinators they had, but losing a great player like that really hurts your defense."But Ryan wasn't done there. He also heaped Derick Roberson Jersey praise on head coach Antonio Pierce and defensive coordinator Patrick Graham."We've got the best coach. And Patrick Graham is No. 2."

Wishes offenses good luck against this defense: Vic Tafur (@VicTafur) We still have one more day to go in the Raiders' offseason program, but I'm putting my vote in for Ryan when it comes to the best coach pre ser this year.
