Some claim that the defense is just a front 46 to eight. It's like saying that Marilyn Monroe is just a girl.
The coordinator acquires the position in 1978. He inherits a unit unable to stop the run and generate pressure. Among the forces available is Doug PLANK, a safety who likes contact and connects the tackles. Buddy Ryan decides to exploit this profile. During a tactical implementation, he draws an unusual formation on the blackboard. He places the safety close to the line of scrimmage to take a role similar to that of middle linebacker . He do not call anyone by name. It reduces their favorites to their number, the other unpleasant adjectives. As any singularity ( blitz , cover, forehead ...) refers to the advocate concerned and comes Defense 46, in connection with the jersey worn by Doug PLANK. Alternative option for the third attempts and / or obvious pass situations, it evolves into ultra complex base around which the whole system was built in 1981. That year, the draft of middle linebacker Mike Singletary provides a lieutenant, real relay on the ground in charge of guiding the troops. Impact: strong safety slides out, sometimes weak side (mostly), sometimes strong side (sometimes). Simplistically , the defense 46 consists of a front eight with four linemen and two linebackers distributed the line of scrimmage , a linebacker behind in support, and especially the 46 at his side as linebacker substitution. The idea: send between five and eight players chasing the quarterback or the running back . The purpose is to flood protection. The proliferation of threats occupies and / or cloudy various blockers. A crowd expected to clear the way ball carrier, passer or runner. Those assigned to cover use of decoy, since the initial alignment suggests a blitz . An approach known as the blitz area , especially dear to Dick Lebeau and present in all the books of contemporary games. The cornerbacks , meanwhile, play in man free and bump and run . The second possibility disrupts short routes; it desynchronizes the quarterback and immediate solutions. Safety at linebacker , defensive end cover, defensive back pressure, alignments changes ... A diversification of roles and movements pre- snap common now, unpublished in that time. The safeties hybrid playing in traffic are spreading these days, it is a novelty at the time. The eleven is not content to read, react or respond, he impulse movement and submits his will. He simply attack. Tirelessly. Again and again. Buddy Ryan is the father of modern defenses: fast, versatile, varied, allowing the elements to fit on the lawn by counting on their football IQ, adopting automated training and blankets depending on personal and offensive alignments, sowing confusion. Over the seasons, as and as talents abound in the workforce, the scheme grows. With a view to efficiency, it is easier to stick more to the qualities of each, perfect, reaching maturity in 1984. The Monsters of the Midway perform their return to Chicago. Begins for them three years of domination of unrivaled resonance. And a decade of defensive excellence to the tactician, who then exports its expertise in the Eagles (1986 coach in 1990), the Oilers (coordinator in 1993) and Cardinals (coach in 1994 and 1995). While the competition is moving towards the attack spread in response, her baby suits, comes in various forms and survives. There is renewed, mostly because his parent has an undeniable gift for finding pearls. He drafted Dan HAMPTON and Al Harris in 1979, Otis Wilson in 1980, Todd Bell, Leslie Frazier and Mike Singletary in 1981, Richard Dent, Dave Duerson and Mike Richardson in 1983, Wilber Marshall in 1984, Clyde Simmons and Seth Joyner in 1986 Jerome Brown and Byron Evans in 1987, Eric Allen in 1988, Blaine BISHOP in 1993. Through their production with him to the wand, three of his foals get individual sesame: Mike Singletary and Reggie WHITE elected defender of 1985 and 1987, Richard Dent was elected MVP of Super Bowl XX. HAMPTON with Dan and Aeneas Williams (Cardinal the first two appointments All-Pro back to 1994 and 1995), they integrate the Hall of Fame . The defense was Buddy Ryan.
A quarterback has never completed a pass when lying on your back. We need to shake violently and often. The quarterbacks are overpaid, premiums, pompous bastards and we must punish them.
The centerpiece haunts his thoughts crystallized his resentment reflects his aversion. He loathes. His dream: to send the mat snap after snap . Resentment, fury cultivated with his players. If ball back following a turnover , their mission is to locate the smuggler to administer destructive block. Winning the war back to win the game; win the battle comes down to what the attacker resorts to his quarterback replacement, sign that the harassment of the owner prevented him from continuing the game. In 1985, the Bears won 11 battles in 19 games. The whole approach to Buddy RYAN part of the same mindset. He has a deep aversion to the overall attack. It is his intimate enemy. His animosity is materialized by a hyper-aggressive style. It requires tough action, rough, bestial, ruthless, to traumatize physically and mentally. Bullying is part of his arsenal. He urged the cruelty. Hence the name Buddy Ball to summarize this philosophy to the limit of regularity, termed Neanderthal Ball Bill PARCELLS, head of Giants . Indeed, the border turns out thin between commitment and villainous attitude. By dint of continually exacerbate tensions, perpetually warm the spirits, to constantly encourage tangent behavior, the line is crossed repeatedly. As evidenced by the Bounty Bowl and the Body Bag Game . Hatred of the attack, for better or for worse, it was Buddy Ryan.
Kevin Gilbride sell insurance in two years.
The enemy attacks are not the only ones to suffer his wrath. His own colleagues are the subject of his ire. Starting with its counterparts when coordinator. Some too intense workouts lead to altercations. The reason: its defenders too virulent towards their partners. Question confrontation, it is not the last. Its made of the most infamous weapon occurred in 1993. Since the off-season, cohabitation is tense with Kevin Gilbride, his alter ego directing the attack. The first follower of athletic game and thus the race, not publicly continually taunt the attack of the second based on the air. He described pejoratively the Run and Shoot of Chuck and Duck , a loose style that he considers too low in testosterone to succeed in this manly sport. The pace and the glut of passes cause incompletions, stopping the timer, additional opportunities for the opponent, so a defense sought more. According Buddy Ryan, disdain of the race to close the half-time or overexposed matches his group and indirectly causes the injury of two of his men. The dissension culminated during the final day of the regular season against the Jets. The attack Oilers gets the ball on his 33 yards, there remain a few seconds before the break. Instead of chaining kneel downs to go to the locker room to 14-0, Kevin Gilbride wants to register other points, called passes. The first ends incomplete, the second fumble lost following a sack . This forces the defense to come back with a short field to protect. In sum, the straw that broke the camel. The ardent competitor furious. It explodes. He tries to land a punch at his colleague. The bench separates quickly. ESPN cameras capture the surreal scene replays are quick. The incident takes exponential proportions due to the distorting prism of prime time, because it happens live, on national TV, which is more open Monday Night Football , institution in this period. [ Earnest JACKSON -its future running back to Philadelphie-?] against the Redeem a six pack, not even need it to be cool. When the boss, subordinates suffer the same treatment. Exterior, boredom disappears with it. It brings excitement and hope in Philadelphia (and Arizona within one season). It may not be the finished work, but it straightens a franchise in distress and gives them pride to support local. They flee Veterans Stadium in the mid 80s; the enclosure starts to fill in the RYAN era. The war waged to ancestral rivals in the NFC East delights. It offers fans memories they cherish. Souvenirs substantially generated by the brutality of Gang Green , the perks, the skids. The coordinators promoted coaches inevitably encounter this issue : to develop the side of the balloon to which they are unaccustomed. From this point of view, Buddy Ryan fails in a big way with the Eagles and the Cardinals. Back with his attack and / or too involved with his defense, stables and struggle inevitably become unbalanced. So difficult to compete in the conference and the Queens division. This is also where the shoe pinches. Unanimously acclaimed as defensive master, his inability to advance enough the other half cost him a worthy track record of a career full and fulfilled. Like father, like son: the RYAN win five Super Bowls in six appearances, each time as assistants and not head coaches. Rex wins XXXV with the Ravens in 2000 as coach of the defensive line. Rob wins in XXXVI with the Patriots in 2001 and XXXVIII with the Patriots in 2003 as coach of linebackers . Buddy, meanwhile, conquers III with the Jets in 1969 as coach of the defensive line tilts in the XI with the Vikings in 1976 and won the XX with the Bears in 1985 as defensive coordinator. Captain of the ship? Too suit apparently. The tumultuous coexistence with the attack, including with his, it was Buddy Ryan.
Idiots make the mouth. You never see the smart guys sulk. Hey, they are well paid. If they do not do their job, their accounts will be asked. Good players always react in the right way.
The brilliant technician is especially a colorful figure, the embodiment of passion, the excitement insidiously mixing love and hate. Adored by some, reviled by others. He practices tough love. Surely the embers of his brief military experience. An operation aimed at breaking the individual and the collective emergence. The disappearance of egos in favor of an egocentric mix on defense, the diagram and instructions, is his ideal. The guru removes individuals but retains personalities. Everyone is free to remain himself, provided it meets the requirements and does not commit an error. On this particular aspect, he wants uncompromising, specifically with his favorite. With opponents like with his own, he stirs friction. It shapes the skills to respond to that scheme, it shapes the pattern to respond to skills. Discipline and rigor concern responsibilities in the field, not the way to behave. He model the skills and mindset, not souls. Farewell repression and rigid shackles, hello externalization and freedom. The process does not go smoothly. All fear becoming a target for lack of fighting and / or malice, to be called a girl in front of others. However, through this same process, they forge an ethic of precious effort. And a sense of fidelity and loyalty without equal, allowing each to be sublimated and all supplant the sum of its parts. All aspire to one thing: receive recognition on his part as brief and fleeting were it. In the image of a "good job" launched on the fly, or a pat on the back. They discover anything to, with and through him. [Mike Ditka and I] rarely discussed. I just put my game plan on the office of his secretary, who lays it on his own. At the same time, it's not as if he understood something. Loved by players (not all), he is not afraid of making enemies even in his own locker room. Manifestation of this tendency: the power struggles involved with colleagues to define and mark its territory. In Chicago, he has a dysfunctional electrical and conflicted relationship with the temperamental yet Mike Ditka. By order of the owner, the owner must keep it in the staff when he took office in 1982. He tried to implant the defense Flex . In vain, because Buddy Ryan replied curtly not to interfere. He made it clear that we should not interfere in its field. Bitterness not get the key position for one coupled with the frustration of not control all the other trigger and fuel the fighting. The turbulent coordinator sometimes launches gums towards the door when the coach arrives to the meetings. When he suggests preventive mode at the end of games where the outcome is decided, it speaks to a wall that ignores and turns his heels. Common life in four seasons, they must be separated several times because of situations fester in training or at halftime. Despite the deleterious environment, the Bears won the Super Bowl XX. On this occasion, Buddy Ryan becomes the first and certainly the only assistant carried in triumph. A privilege to number normally. HAMPTON Dan confesses post it as a spontaneous gesture, amazement followed by a calculated action. Indeed, while defenders immediately think of their mentor and prepare their shot, they realize that we must also celebrate Mike Ditka to respect the tradition, not to create a precedent and spare his susceptibility. Videos of the event also show that the first rises in heaven Superdome few seconds before the second. Additional evidence of the importance covered by the fiery scholar with his flock, division of power within this picturesque team. Ironically, later, they did not succeed separately as well as when they are associated. To believe that the folly of one is ultimately necessary to channel that of the other. [Harry GAMBLE -to the meteoric rise in the organization of Eagles-] to be the illegitimate son of [Norman] BRAMAN the owner. Press conferences polemics, noisy declarations, provocations, field trips without greeting the opposing party, inappropriate comments towards his superiors ... all factors that enrich its dark side. Impetuous, irascible, stubborn, irreverent, authentic, aggressive, raw ... These distinctive features of his being. Never stingy with devastating formulas, it is the media happy. Nothing stops; he does not hesitate to attack the emblematic figures of the league. As in 1987. At the resumption of the match after the strike, he distinguished himself against the Cowboys by feinting a kneel down for ten seconds from the end, with a lead of ten points. He calls a long pass leading to a penalty and a touchdown , sealing the lead to 37-20. Unconventional behavior as a revenge on Tom Landry, accused of the same during the previous match played in full strike. At that time, the Dallas coach uses several stars who crossed the picket face the Philadelphia replacements. Vindictive, Buddy Ryan was quick to return the favor. The wave of sympathy aroused by his death should not mislead about the nature of man. During his lifetime, when it operates, its reputation is terrible. There is unanimous in the negative. His peers see it as a nuisance, a troublemaker to avoid. Her questionable methods have earned him a ban for sure in the current NFL. The character Buddy Ryan, that was it.
I will not take anything for Jim MCMAHON and attack, but we probably would have won [the Super Bowl] without them.
This final quote sums it almost alone: conductor historically dominant squads first critic attacks, source eccentricities which spare neither rivals nor partners, professional and technically well done defensively and offensively and humanly criticism. Without someone who can not tell the NFL history is generally regarded as a Hall of Famer . If it never really attracted the attention of the highest individual honor, Buddy Ryan does remains a key protagonist without which the genealogy of the defense would be imperfect. Most community stakeholders fear for their jobs and show cautious. They seek neither innovation nor creation; they remain conservative and are content to fragile gains. Not him. Each week, he tries something original. He constantly thought through, lawful or unlawful, to procure an advantage to his. Once the recipe found, the revolution starts, the situation changes and the league tremble. Ahead of its time, the frightening defense 46 lays down the law for years. She shows an aggressiveness and a physical dimension unusual. A defense that attack. Everybody. All the time. And forced to adjust to it instead of the reverse. The work of Buddy Ryan can not be grasped without two major components responsible both for his defensive success of its collective failures: the antagonism with the attack, especially the quarterback , and his strong character. Duality large coordinator / coach poor, ambivalence loved by his players / hated by others stick to his skin. Political correctness, unspoken, restraint ... he does not know. Precursor, polarizing, unique, iconic ... it leaves no one indifferent. We love it, hate it. We like the same hate. The good and the bad, the ups as downs, the forgettable as the unforgettable ... A genius inseparable from his escapades. The legacy of Buddy Ryan is everything. All that was Buddy Ryan. At a time when everything seems sanitized, the characters of that stamp no longer exist. It will no doubt sincerely regretted. Although ... though? Whatever. Thank you for the indelible mark on this side of the ball. Rest in peace, Mr. RYAN.
