Meant to post this earlier in the week. Manley was one of my favorite players back in the day. It was like if he really wanted to, he was getting to the QB, and could not be blocked (maybe it was the coke). The only Redskin with an engine like that since was Sean Taylor.

You do a nice job of keeping us informed of everything Skins. You're entitled to forget something once in a while. I still wonder to this day how good Manley would have been without the drug problem, just as I wonder how good Len Bias would have been. At least we saw glimpses of Manley's talent. He was Lawrence Taylor but unlike Taylor, he had to engage a blocker on every down. I also think Joe Gibbs saved his life more than once but I'm sure the documentary will get into that.

this is not helpful ... I'm sure that Dexter knew this would be poster board material before the Redskins game ...
