Russ Grimm wasn\u2019t just a member of Washington\u2019s iconic Hogs offensive line\u2014he was its blueprint. Drafted in 1981, Grimm brought a mix of raw toughness, unshakable work ethic, and elite skill that made him one of the greatest guards in NFL history. Over 11 seasons, he helped anchor three Super Bowl-winning teams, earned four straight Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors, and inspired the very name \u201cHogs.\u201d Inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010, Grimm\u2019s legacy lives on as the embodiment of the blue-collar lineman\u2014smart, fierce, and unrelenting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russ Grimm Finally Gets Bust-ed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Hogs finally have a representative in the Pro Football Hall Of Fame. Russ Grimm was inducted<\/a> with the 2010 class, and with it, a great wrong was righted. It seems impossible that almost twenty years after dominating the NFL, the venerable offensive line known as the Hogs didn\u2019t have a single member with a bust in Canton, Ohio. Now they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grimm must have thought that the day would never come, after being a finalist for six years, and a candidate for fourteen; but the rough-and-tough lineman was on all three Super Bowl winning Redskin teams, and joins fellow teammates John Riggins, Art Monk, Darrell  Green and Coach Gibbs as the only members in the Hall from that decade of dominance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement was made live on NFL Network from the site of Super Bowl XLIV, and Russ shares some pretty elite company in the 2010 Hall of Fame class: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jerry Rice, Dallas Cowboys running back Emmitt Smith, Minnesota Vikings defensive end John Randle, Denver Broncos running back Floyd Little, New Orleans Saints defensive end Rickey Jackson, and Detroit Lions cornerback Dick LeBeau as part of the 2010 Hall of Fame class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While he played a little at center, Grimm played either the left or right guard spot for the Redskins from 1981-1991. The man who coached him up, Joe Bugel, said that Grimm could play anywhere, \u201cHe was one of the most complete football players, and people, that I\u2019ve ever coached. He could play all the positions \u2013 center, guard and tackle. He was the leader by example. Grimm wasn\u2019t a loudmouth. He just came to work every day. It\u2019s a well deserved honor for a great, great football player and a great, great friend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russ is A Hog<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As a matter of fact, according to the original \u2018Head Hog\u2019 George Starke<\/a>, and who would know better, Grimm is actually the inspiration behind the name Hogs. Following the announcement that Grimm was being inducted, Starke stated, \u201cObviously, everyone knows that Russ is a Hog, but not everyone knows that the name Hogs came from a description of him. He was lying on the ground at the end of a blocking drill and Joe Bugel walked by and Russ had his stomach peeking out of his shirt. Buges said, \u2018Man, Russ get up you look like a Hog laying on the ground.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starke went on to explain that, \u201cAfter that, the rest of us decided to poke fun at Buges and wear white shirts to practice and we all had Hogs written on them. Buges said to us, \u2018Why are you doing that?\u2019 We said, Because we are in solidarity with Russ and if you call him a Hog, you have to call us all Hogs.\u2019 That is where the name came from.\u201d Starke also offered his opinion that, \u201c\u2026 Russ is the greatest guard to ever play pro football. He and Randy White had so many battles and Russ won most of those battles and Randy is in the Hall of Fame. I think it is only fitting that Russ make it in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

50-Gut<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps one of the best \u2018Hogs anecdotes\u2019 involves Grimm, center Jeff Bostic and domination of the aforementioned White of the Dallas Cowboys. There was a particular game where the Redskins were playing their usual brand of smashmouth football, and ran the 50-gut play on NINE straight occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bostic described it thusly: \u201cAfter three or four, in the huddle I said to Russ, \u2018Play along with me,\u2019 \u201d Bostic said. \u201cI got to the line, and I said to Randy White, \u2018Our coaching staff loves you. We\u2019re going to run it over you again.\u2018 Then on the next play Russ told him. Randy wasn\u2019t very happy, but after three or four times, he didn\u2019t say a word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about it \u2013 running the same gut play nine times in a row? When do you ever see the kind of interior line domination that allows you to pound the ball up the middle on nine straight plays? You don\u2019t. The Hogs were special \u2013 all of them \u2013 and Grimm was an integral part of that group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the whole group of Hogs were lunch-box type guys \u2013 Grimm might have been the most, unrefined<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russ Grimm Was A Blue Collar Stiff<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Described as a \u201cblue collar stiff and proud of it,\u201d by Mark May in his book \u201cTales from the Washington Redskins,\u201d May recalled a story about a Christmas party at his house back in 1982: \u201cI iced down a keg of beer and stationed it on the landing between the first floor and basement. Russ turned the landing into his headquarters for the evening. He grabbed a chair and a Hog shot glass (a 60-ounce pitcher) and parked his butt on the landing next to the keg. Except for an occasional trip to the bathroom, we didn\u2019t see Russ on the first level all night\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Redskin fans saw Russ on the \u2018first level\u2019 every time he stepped on to the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russ Grimm And His Pal Big Jake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Paired with left tackle Joe Jacoby, they forged a reputation as the most punishing side of an offensive line in football \u2013 perhaps the most dominant side of all time. By 1983, the two were firmly entrenched as unheralded superstars, but had started earning league accolades. Grimm would run off four consecutive seasons of being named an All-Pro, as well as four straight Pro Bowl selections. Jacoby was right there beside him all four times. Not only were the two of them working together on the field, but they were roommates for eleven years as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great moment. I sat here and cheered, yelled and screamed like I did two years ago when they put Art Monk in finally after all those years. I\u2019m elated,\u201d said Jacoby of Grimm\u2019s induction. \u201cHe had the toughness, as a guy from Pennsylvania. I think he had tremendous leadership qualities, including his uncanny ability to lead on the field. His intelligence and his ability to make things happen on the football field helped lead us to championships. We had a very good player and very good teammate and he helped us come together on and off the field.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was in Pennsylvania, at Southmoreland High School, where Grimm first began to show his football prowess. He played quarterback, linebacker, and punted, as well as earning nine varsity letters, and being a basketball star. From high school, he moved on to the University of Pittsburgh where he was a standout center, and also served as the reserve punter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick Start<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When he was drafted by Washington in the third round (69th overall) of the 1981 draft, the Redskins undoubtedly expected him to be their center eventually; but the native of Scottdale, Pennsylvania won the starting left guard spot in his rookie training camp. Grimm would stay there for the next six seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knee Injury<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 1987, he was moved back to the position that he was drafted to play \u2013 center. After starting the first five games, he tore a ligament in his left knee that kept him out of the lineup until the season\u2019s last game. In 1988, he would miss eleven more games after suffering cartilage damage in that same left knee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A testament to the true warrior spirit that he possesses, Russ returned to play at left guard in 1989, 1990, and 1991, before calling it a career. Injuries had taken their toll, but at no point did Grimm stop being the driving force behind two separate incarnations of that dominant Hogs offensive line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Up Doc?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Following this weekend\u2019s induction, former teammate Doc Walker summed up the affable Hog beautifully, \u201cHe really embodies what I think an offensive lineman is all about. Russ was the toughest guy on the block. He was mean. He had a nasty attitude, and he was a smart guy. Russ played the role of a Hell\u2019s Angel, but the guy is really smart. He would break an opponent down on film. He had great technique, and was explosive. \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walker went on to add that, \u201cThere was nothing he couldn\u2019t do. He probably could have been a Hall of Fame center if he had stayed at center his whole career. A lot of it had to do with the fact that when he grew up, he played quarterback and fullback, he was an athlete trapped in this big body.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was likely that intelligence, and ability to break opponents down on film that allowed Grimm to progress to assistant head coach and offensive line coach for the Arizona Cardinals. Continuously mentioned for head coach openings, he was nearly named as Bill Cowher\u2019s successor in Pittsburgh, but it fell through when the Steelers opted for Mike Tomlin instead. Grimm evolved into not only a great position coach, but someone that could man the sidelines as the top dog for an NFL team, in the very near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Redskin tight end, and a stalwart member of the Hogs himself, Don Warren once said that, \u201cRuss Grimm would swallow his dip by halftime and throw up on somebody\u2019s shoes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On August 7th, 2010, that \u2018blue collar stiff\u2019 got to throw up on his shoes at the Pro Football Hall Of Fame in Canton, Ohio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
