The WORST Un-Retirement in Philadelphia Eagles HISTORY | Pat Ryan (Eagles @ Redskins- 1991)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- In 1991, following an injury to starting quarterback Randall Cunningham, the Philadelphia Eagles signed former New York Jets quarterback Pat Ryan out of retirement. Even though Ryan hadn't played in over a year, and had stopped thinking about football to an extent, Rich Kotite signed him. The end result was an absolute disaster. This is the story of the 1991 Eagles, the 1991 Monday Night Football game between the Eagles and Redskins, and this disastrous signing

Rich Kotite (coach)
It is astonishing how many stories this guy is able to find in the history of the NFL. He puts up several videos a week, sometimes daily. I’m impressed with his dedication and productivity.
Where does he get them from.
Well Renwick Humphrey I think that Jaguargator9 gets his stories by SPIKING a FOOTBALL into the ground and SCREAMING 39.6.
The spectrum allows one to be hyper focused on any topic
"The Eagles head coach was Rich Kotite."
Say no more. Doom is imminent.
Any connection between Rich Kotite and the Jets have to involve failure on some level.
@@cityhawk ah, give him a break! After the Kotite disaster, the Jets hired Parcells.
@@brianthomas2434 Even a blind squirrel can find a nut every now and again.
Rich Kotite = Eddie Mush
@@mondoseguendo6113 the REMARKABLE thing about Kotite is how the late Leon Hess thought acquiring him was a coup.
His best moment was the 1986 AFC Wild Card game against the Chiefs.
Too be fair, he was going up against one of the greatest teams in history that night. During the month of September, Washington allowed 0 points at home!!!!
Yeah, the weirdest thing in, NFL, history, was, just, how, fast that team fell off of a cliff, no question.
@@matthewdaley746 Since then Washington is the only team without an 11-win season.
@@CTubeMan Is that seriously true?!?! If so, it's mind blowing 🤯
@CTubeMan As long as, "You, Know, Who," owns the team, that's just fine, with, me, really, perfect.
@DolFan316 Yet, even, more, mind-blowing, the, Giants, won, a, pair, of, SBs, neither, year, had, 11, wins.
as a long time Jets fan i love watch Ryan Jets highlights
7:49 timestamp is 1 reason amongst many why I follow this channel faithfully. The dry humor /sarcasm that is OJG9.. love this freakin guy
I remember this one very well--Great job reporting on this story and how it all went very bad incredibly fast. As always, great job. Perfect way to start my weekend with one of your videos.
I love your videos. I always learn something from them. Could you do another video about Kickers or punters? Thanks!
Do a video on Tommy Maddox who fizzled in his first go around in the NFL, didn't play for several years, becomes XFL, then Super Bowl winner
Super Bowl winner as a backup. He didn't Dilfer his way to the Lombardi trophy
I think 1995-2000 is this guys cutoff for these videos.
@@RichV20 seems pretty accurate to me. I enjoy the 70's & 80's stuff the most though. Reminds me of my youth when I fell in love with football.
@@RichV20 He did one for the Texans for the 2021 season
A good backup is lost on today’s NFL.
Poor Pat Ryan, the only QB in the world who could make Richard Todd look like a pro.
And that wasn't easy
I remember this. Despite the QB injuries, the Eagles hung around and had a good shot at the playoffs. They ended up 10-6 and missed. If they had signed Dave Archer, fresh off a World Bowl II win the in WLAF, things could have been different. He was supposed to sign there. Kotite, in his infinite wisdom, signed Ryan...which is why Kotite is, and always has been, a garbage head coach.
The '91 Eagles only allowed four rushing TDs all season BTW. The '85 Bears allowed six. Even the '00 Ravens gave up five. And then they gave up only four the next season too!
yes my eagles defense was so sick in the 90's they would have made corona virus seem like a bad case of hay fever rembe the house of pain houston supplied the house we supplied the PAIN
Best defense ever...
This channel needs way more subscribers. The content is always excellent.
I'm really impressed that Pat Ryan carved out such a nice career for himself under the circumstances. There isn't even an 11th round in the draft anymore...
I forgot about Ryan playing for the Eagles. Maybe that was for the best.
I bet Pat would like to forget too.
2:46 Jets Steelers - the last game at Shea and also the last game for Terry Bradshaw
The Game Art Rooney traded, for, Dan Marino's entire career.
Thank you for making me relive this.
I WOUID LOVE FOR YOU TO DO A VIDEO ON THAT DEFENSE. They were 1-1-1 across the board, very few defenses did that, none of them had 5 different QBs, playing Gibbs, Jimmy Johnson and Parcells’s team 2x
Pat Ryan really was a very solid backup for the Jets as was presented here, with Ken O'Brien being either hurt or inconsistent often you could count on Ryan to make spot starts or even come in cold out of nowhere off the bench and produce.
Kotite gonna Kotite
1991 was that year the eagles had that awesome defense
Analytics sites still insist that D was better than the '85 Bears.
Too bad they had zero offense to go, with, it, awful.
@@DolFan316 The Bears had absolutely no offense, either, that's why they only, won, one, SB.
@@matthewdaley746 Except that they were 2nd in the league in scoring in '85. Just sayin'. And the D scored just five TDs, which isn't an extraordinarily high amount.
@@DolFan316 They didn't even score enough to, beat, Washington, who would, lose, to the Giants, three, times.
Unfair to trash Ryan here. He wasn't brought in to be a starter but McMahon got hurt forcing Ryan into the game and he was rustier than a 48 Packard. So it's tough to blame Ryan here.
Thank you so much for this! This is why Rich Kotite is the worst Eagles Head Coach of my lifetime.
7:31 that was clearly a flag for unnecessary roughness, they dove towards the QB while he was clearly out of bounds. He started the dive when McMahon was already taking the step out of bounds which resulted in the injury.
Not a penalty back then
I swear it sounds like you record the audio for these videos while you're pooping. What's up with the acoustics dude? Anyway, I thoroughly enjoy your content. Keep on pushing, pun intended.
As an Eagles fan, I wish I could erase Kotite's time with the team from history. The guy shouldn't be allowed to run a pee wee team, nevermind an NFL franchise.
I know Pat, and didn't even remember him playing for the Eagles.
Imagine being Pat Ryan and get a good steady paycheck in the 100,000 range. So let's say he made $120,000 in 1985. That's 305,000 today and that's WAY more than enough to live off of. That's before the big sky rocket increase in living of today. So living off of $120,000 back then was again more than enough to provide your family in that time.
He probably made $250k in 1991, the going rate for a back-up QB. Randall Cunningham was at the high end of QB's with a 1991 salary of $2.5million.
Weird how his Wikipedia page has him on the 91 Eagles, yet the 91 Eagles don't have him listed as a Quarterback despite playing in games :/
Today Pat Ryan is the Color Commentator for the Tennessee Vols.
much like richie kotite wasn't an actual nfl coach pat ryan wasn't an actual nfl qb. He just sat the bench for nyj.
This Eagles team had the greatest defense ever in nfl history. Given the fact the offense due to Randall and McMahon both getting injured they often faced teams starting in their side of the field since we had no offense. Later that year was the house of pain game on Monday night where we probably seen the greatest defensive performance ever against what was considered an all time great offense (Oilers). We won that game.
Longtime Bears watcher, which I guess makes me a quasi-expert on bad QBs. This gave me flashbacks to the time they had to start Todd Collins and somehow won anyway. I've literally seen better passing from semipro QBs.
@ Anthony Carr can't forget Vince Evans my favorite back up
Suggestion. You should do on one Bert Jones and that MNF game..I'll never forget that
Good gosh that's a horrific way to return to NFL, what would we consider the failures? Antiderella runs?
Rich Kotite and bad decisions, name a more iconic duo
Pat Ryan was a GREAT NFL Quarterback. Too bad that the teams that he played for were 39.6's. They should have just SPIKED the football into the ground on EVERY single OFFENSIVE play.
Roch Kotite should be in the bad coaches hall of fame he was one of the worst.
To be fair, he was decent with the Eagles going 36-28 with a playoff win which is 1 more playoff wins than Buddy Ryan had. When he went to the Jets, they were so inept with no viable QB's.
@@Rockhound6165 I meant to spell it Rich or how about Roach Hahahahahahaha.
I'd like to see a video about Scott Mitchell's tenure as the QB of the Detroit Lions. In one year, Pro Bowl tackle Lomas Brown admitted (much later) to purposely missing a block that resulted in Mitchell being injured because he didn't like the way he was playing! lol, I remember having one of the old Madden NFL games where Mitchell was on the Lions, and the one fact that John Madden always brought up about him was that he was the biggest QB in the NFL. Like that was the only thing he could think to say about him, haha
Of course, there's so many possible topics about the Lions for this channel, lol
I see what you did at 6:57.
Back when 35 year old QBs were considered ancient. These days a QB is just getting warmed up at that age.
Regardless, of age, an injury can, end, any player's career, there's, truly, no, exception.
@@matthewdaley746 Every NFL player is one play away from the end of their career.
@tygrkhat4087 Yeah, and, the, end, will come, for, everybody, it's just a question of when.
Fun Fact: Rich Kotite is the reason I became a Jets fan. Until a few years ago, he was the only player from my Alma Mater to play in the NFL. So, I started following the Jets when he coached there. Prior, I was a cowboys fan. So, in 1995, they won the Super Bowl and the Jets went 1-15 . . . . I switched to the Jets!
Ouch
SIGNIFICANTLY worse than spiking the ball into the ground on every play
I remember that game. I could smell his stink through the tv screen.
I remember that game and it was pretty sad. Ken O'Brien also played for an injured Cunningham (noticing a theme here?) in 1993 after the Jets let him go playing for who else, Kotite!; Jim McMahon actually looked pretty good that year but they came up just short for playoffs. I think Ryan would have preferred to stay retired. Richard Todd going to the Saints was another former Jet QB disaster story. So many video ideas, so little time!
How the hell did he even get drafted he barely did anything in college
It can only happen to the Jets. 😭
How were you able to access this game? Unable to find it on youtube, would love watch...
This is from a die hard eagles hating Giants fan, but if Randall Cunningham doesnt get hurt in the 1991 opener the eagles win the super bowl that year
@ 10:15 we discover that Pat Ryan achieved a 'diddley poo' rating again!
This is the last Washington shutout to this day. I’m pretty sure every other team has at least one shutout this century.
It was their third shutout that season, though. Damn that was a great year.
When I think of bad decisions coming out of retirement: Trey Junkin
The Giants made a, dumber, decision when they chose to cease scoring.
If he had only spiked the ball every single play, then he would've had a better passer rating.
2:45 - you mention a game against Buffalo, but show a game against Pittsburgh
30 Years Ago
Nevermind. I guess Buddy got fired in 1990.
Rich Kodite -- all right!!!
Pro football outsiders call the 91 eagles the greatest defense ever
Yeah, Pat Ryan wasn't exactly showing off his football knowledge when he came out of retirement in 1991; he played like he forgot everything he ever learned about being a QB in the NFL. Too bad about the 1991 Eagles offense, as their defense was one of the greatest, but the team didn't even qualify for the playoffs due to that damaging 4-game losing streak after that 3-1 start (that loss to Tampa Bay in Week 6 1991 was especially ugly).
Mentioning Randall Cunningham's 1990 season, I still think it was the best season of his career, even better than his 1998 renaissance (not too far behind in passing yards in comparing1991 to 1998; more rushing yards, and also more was expected of Cunningham in 1990, as he was a highly-paid player who was counted on, unless 1998 with the Vikings).
Yeah, too bad Dennis Green coached scared, though, they, most, likely, lose, to the Broncos, anyway.
@@matthewdaley746 Yeah, I don't think it's a good idea to rely on a kicker to seal the game; that should be more of a necessity thing if you ask me. In Green's case, I think his mind went back to the end of the 1st half of the game, when Cunningham was stripped (Cunningham had an elongated delivery & long arms as well; still does!) when the Vikings were trying to put the game away, and the Falcons fumble recovery led to a 20-14 score at the half.
@gluserty It's an even, worse, idea to run, out, the clock, in, regulation, Terrell Davis would have run them, out, of the building if they'd faced him.
@@matthewdaley746 Green was pretty worried & overthinking things a little, but I agree that to rely on a coin flip or the general outcome of overtime is just a dicey as counting on the kicker to clinch it, even if he was perfect up to that point.
@@gluserty Don't sugarcoat it, he didn't have, "The, Killer Instinct," the exactly identical problem that Andy Reid had until Pat Mahomes fell, into, his lap.
A Jets QB? Really? Oh, Kotite? OK, the Eagles only had themselves to blame.
Yes a banner year for the Eagles & there fans. Going from Cunningham to McMahon to Pat Ryan, Jeff Kemp, & a little Brad Goebel as well. Thanks Rich Kotite you were just terrible. Which he proved repeatedly in Philly & then with the Jets.
Beating, the Patriots in, SB 52, totally, made, up, for, all of it, though, great, day.
@@matthewdaley746 winning that Super Bowl made up for a lot. Lol. I enjoyed every minute of it and thought they had it the whole time. (Which is not me. They'll be up by 21 with a minute left, the ball, on first down, with the other team without timeouts or there best players out and I still worry they could lose.)
@@christopherengel7436 That Eagles team did, two, critically important things that the Falcons did, not, they played to, win, and, they made, "The, Play, To, Win, The, Game."
@@matthewdaley746 well said
@christopherengel7436 Thank You, it didn't hurt that the Patriots caught a fatal case of the exact same arrogance that derailed the Seahawks, three, years, before.
I don't remember Steve deberg coming out of retirement how did I miss that one?
I don't think DeBerg is officially retired yet. DeBerg lost his starting jobs to a young Joe Montana, John Elway, Vinnie Testeverde, & a old Dave Krieg.
Why did he comeback was it money problems or chronic boredom what was it?
Soulless things always skip over the first step that they're not God so trying to hurt others to feel good is a pure character issue. They even make having others support them evil by using it to hurt outsiders. That is a complete character issue that can't be fixed. It's being a dry crackhead where you hurt anyone to not hurt. Creepy and sue a side fixes that
10:13
The moment you all came for.
I came for it all right 😉
Let's be real, though, Eagles would have been stomped in that game with McMahon under center.
In 1991, Washington, stomped everybody, their, only, losses, were, a rivalry Game, and, a Game where absolutely none of their starters played.
@@matthewdaley746 They continued to curbstomp through the playoffs too.
@RichV20 Yeah, they just, weren't, really, the same team the following year, though.
Eagles were 3 and 1 and McMahon was the third highest QB going into the game. With that defense, not likely.
@@paulkeilman3510 that vaunted defense gave up over 170 yards rushing in that game, they were going to get stomped. .
Rich Cotext
He even looks lost.
Forget matty ice its patty melt
I've seen worse. I made it to (10:00), can I have those minutes back. What a yawner!!
Kotite gonna Kotite.
