Both Rex and Rob Ryan are known to use the Bear front, otherwise known as the double eagle, and in its 1985 incarnation, the 46, and in preseason week 1 year 2011, both brothers flashed some double eagle with 8 man line.
The image above is the most famous Bear of the night, as Jon Gruden mentioned it, but the very next play featured a Bear with a flexed nose tackle.
Rob’s double eagle had 5 down linemen instead of 6, but the 6 players along the line, and two players at linebacker depth and over the tackle leads me to designate this the first Bear the Cowboys have run under Rob Ryan.
