Best Ever Series: OUTSIDE LINEBACKER

I'm going with Marshall. He was the complete package at LB, and he was one bad MF.

Marshall was a one man show in 91 & 92, and before that he was pretty good for us & a pro bowler w/the bears. Total package as Matty said.

Hanburger would be a close 2nd. I love M. Coleman but he was a solid LB, not a game changer. He's one of those guys that in today's game would likely play for 3 to 5 teams in his career.

Lavar & Harvey aren't much in the discussion IMO, though Lavar has a nicer highlight reel.

Hanburger and Harvey get my vote for OLBs.

Marshall and Coleman are close behind...

I'm just asking but are you talking about the best Redskin OLBer as a career or who was the best at the position and played for the Skins.Point San Huff was a great MLB but he was n't great when he played for the Skins, my opinion Neil Oakawitz(sp)was the best Skins MLB,Wilbur Marshal had his best years with the Bears not the Skins,to me Ken Harvey .....Chris Hanburger(my vote) were two of the best.

I don't see how Olkewicz didn't win MLB. I missed that poll.

One vote for OLB has to be Hanburger; 9 Pro Bowls, 5 1st Team All-Pro selections, all as a Redskin. Harvey would be second, 4 Consecutive Pro Bowls as a Redskin. Marshall was a dynamic player, but only five years here and 1 Pro Bowl. Arrington - negatives outweigh positives. He gets a -1 from me too.

With any poll it's completely subjective, but if we're voting for best all-time Redskin, a player's production in B & G should only be considered IMO.

Marshall was one bad mofo. He get's my vote.

You make a valid point. Both Hanburger and Marshall were great players as Redskins but Chris was here longer and did more in B&G. Chris Hanburger should get the nod but he probably won't because only old farts like me saw him play.
