The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

I was reading the article about Art Monk and Russ Grimmm being in the selection process for the HofF and took time to again look at the list of 70 grestest Redskins. I went down the list and started checking of the names of the players I have seen play. I was amazed that there are only 5 on the list that I have not seen play. That is a lot of Redskins history! I am curious as to how many of the greatest others on THN have seen play?

21 Terry Allen RB 1995-98
53 Jeff Bostic C 1980-93
21 Earnest Byner RB 1989-93
84 Gary Clark WR 1985-92

This is kind of fun.

Here's the list of the players and coaches:

Live, or do highlights count?

You must be an "old fart" aswas71788

Very cool. The easiest way for me to do this is to submit the list of Redskins I haven't seen:

Cliff Battles
Sammy Baugh
Al DeMao
Bill Dudley
Turk Edwards
Andy Farkas
Charlie Justice
Wayne Millner
Hugh Taylor

And, Coach Ray Flaherty.

That's 10 of the 70. If they played from '55 on, I've watched them.

Oh... Griffith Stadium doesn't count? As I said, I've seen 60 of the 70 listed. My memories of some of the earlier ones aren't terribly vivid, but they are there.
