I guess we're picking our top 5 now, haha.

Don Warren- We need a TE
Brian Mitchell- Good kickoff speciallist
Charles Mann- We could use some DE help
Chris Hanberger- Did I spell that correctly? Anyway, a MLB would help out a lot
Art Monk- We could really use another reciever

Man, that would make us a superbowl contender for sure!

Ditto. He could help us at QB and CB and punter!

But Art Monk would really help this team!

Sam Huff would look good in the middle. or how about Wilber Marshall opposite Arrington and put Washington in the middle.

And as much as I love Darrel Green, Pat Fischer was better.

Diron Talbert.

He would never tolerate 6 gazillion losses to Dallas in a row.

Pat Fischer.

A little nasty attitude never hurts a defense.

Larry Brown.

Has no idea when to quit.

Lenny Haus

You want a Center? Here's your Center.

Dave Butz

Don't even think of running up the middle.

Joe Jacoby

The over-acheiver of over-achievers.

Really?

Do you mean the mouse:

was better than:

I am sorry but I can not agree. I feel it is too close to call but if push comes to shove: Darrell Green.

Art Monk for sure - is there even a debate?!!!

On D, I can't pick between Butz, Mann, Manley and Green.

DG Definately!! Still, Jacoby could really put some punch into our offence. :wink:

RIC has it right. There is no greater fan of Pat Fischer than me. But, there can be no doubt... DG was the greatest Corner in Redskins history, and one of the greatest ever.

Pat Fischer would not make a team today. The rules have changed too much in favor of primadonna wideouts. He was lucky if he could run 4.7... and that would have required a strong tail wind. Fischer's forte was tenacity and a remarkable ability, for a man who weighed about 175, to intimidate receivers. Ask Harold Charmichael, a man who TOWERED over Fischer, and who probably still has scars from Fischer's cleats in his calves. An opposing receiver always paid attention to where Pat Fischer was... and that no doubt accounted for a good deal of his effectiveness.

Pat Fischer was a Pit Bull in a slow cornerback's body.

Who's the coach, Gibbs or Lombardi? Remember, it's "in his prime."

JPFair · Post by **JPFair** » Sat May 07, 2005 11:49 pm

In their prime: Jim Lachey and Dexter Manley.

I've always beleived that if Manley stayed away from drugs, he'd be in the Hall of Fame today. He was that good!!

Hog Heaven · Post by **Hog Heaven** » Sat May 07, 2005 11:50 pm

Monk, Green, Harvey, Davis, Green, Clark, Grimm

Glad to see Clark on the lists - GO JMU DUKES!

Having said that, "football" or whatever his name is said it true - we cannot live in the past.

We have awesome talent. The chemistry needs to build, and it will. Ramsey will be a good, solid QB this year and lead the Skins to thw playoffs behind a much improved O-line. Let Portis take the brunt of the D, let Ramsey air it out, and let our D take care of the rest.

We stand to win a good many games. Health, as it is for all teams, is the key.

Just think, with Jansen healthy last year, add at least 2 more wins.

#28 is legendary. Let the past be, and let's move on with a new generation and a new fight for the NFC.

It didn't help that he smoked like a chimney! They say he used to be so nervous before games he would be smoking a cigarette while waiting to run out on the field for introductions.

One rule change they made was no longer allowing receivers to be cut down on the line of scrimmage. It was the "George Allen rule" because the 'skins defense really started the trend, with Fischer and Mike Bass literally taking out opposing wide outs right on the line of scrimmage.

I love the old guys, but Green was definitely better.

Unfortunately, he played outside linebacker.
