Buddy Ryan had great football quotes. One of my favorites was when he arrived to coach the Philadelphia Eagles he was asked about former All Pro running back Wilbert Montgomery being a great running back. He replied along the lines of, "Other than he can't catch, can't block, or run the football, yea he's a great back."

Tough guy.
