Rob Ryan Has Photo of Model Diora Baird on His Defensive Play Sheet (Photo)

As defensive coordinator of the Cowboys, Rob Ryan‘s job is as stressful as they come.

The 48-year-old spends his week watching game film, coaching his players on the practice field and making the necessary adjustments on gameday. With high aspirations in Big D this season, Ryan is expected to have his defense perform well.

But it seems that between deciding whether or not to dial up a blitz on second and 6 and advising his secondary on adjusting bump and run coverage, Ryan still has the time to sneak a peak at the lovely Diora Baird.

During Dallas’ Sunday afternoon contest at San Francisco, television cameras zoomed in on Ryan as he called a defensive assignment from his play sheet and found a surprising discovery: a photo of the bikini-clad Baird.

One might wonder how having a model on an NFL play sheet is in any way helpful to winning a game. In fact, upon getting a glimpse of Baird it is a wonder how Ryan could concentrate on the game at all. To his credit, the Cowboys allowed only 10 second half points on Sunday as the ‘Boys overcame a 10-point deficit to win 27-24 in overtime.

Here is a better look at the photo of Baird from Ryan’s play sheet:
