Buddy Ryan's defensive dominance didn't translate into much cardboard
He was a coach for two of the greatest teams in NFL history, a defensive mastermind and a coach that his players revered.
He's Buddy Ryan, a 26-year veteran of the coaching ranks and an innovator in the game. He was a young defensive coach for the New York Jets that won Super Bowl III. He was the brains behind the 46 defense and the dominating Chicago Bears that steamrolled their way to a victory in Super Bowl XX.
"Buddy was such an integral part of the Chicago Bears and the '85 Bears, it was unbelievable," former Bears coach Mike Ditka told NFL.com. "There's no way we win anything without that defense, without his coaching and I think everybody understands that. We won because of our defense, we can never forget that. That's just the way it was."
He died on Tuesday at age 82 -- and he's also a legend you won't find often on cardboard.
