A quick question...

Didn't Green play by himself and covered two receivers until he slowed a little in the late 90s.

god i loved alvin walton.

green and dishman made the probowl together. dishman had a good year because teams challanged him.
same mayhew. martin covered the #2 wr and got thrown on because opposing teams wouldnt challenge green.

mayhew didnt lose his ability in tampa, he was just exposed for what he is, a decent corner when he is covering a #2 wr. he was not capable of shutting down a #1 wr.

remember when larry brown of the cowboys intercepted a couple of balls in the superbowl and won MVP of the game? he went to the raiders and sucked.



how i would rank green and his teammates are as follows.

#1 dishman - a former probowler before he arrived. played great his first year in dc and made the probowl with green.

#2 barry wilburn - he had 9 interceptions that year and 2 in the superbowl.

#3 mayhew - had 7 ints in 90' season and 3 in the 91 superbowl season.
SIDE NOTE ON MAYHEW!!! when looking for his stats, i stubbled across this article about martin who is the assistant general manager in detriot and assistant vice presidant of the team. also he went back to school to get his law degree. Awesome job martin mayhew, too bad espn doesnt recognize real men like him. (http://www.detroitlions.com/bio.cfm?cont_id=161741)

#4 chump bailey - rookie year he intercepted 3 balls against arizona on a sundaynight game. my dad, brother and i drove to tempe from sandiego to watch the game, it was a great time for us.

tom carter was pretty good, then kinda bombed with the bears. man that guy was an amazing athlete.

alvoid mays had a great name.
aj johnson had a good rookie year.

Well, until Mark Brunell perhaps.
Touch'e. :)
I must be subconsciously trying to block Brunell from my memory! :frusty:

Yeah I'm definitely happy for Mayhew. Good guy, he was a law school classmate of my brother's.

jamf, couldn't you make the argument that Larry Brown and for that matter Wilburn and even Mayhew had inflated interception numbers because of the guys playing on the opposite side-Deion and Darrell? Since no one dared challenge those guys?

Also, you forgot Vernon Dean

if you think about it green and bailey together were a tandem of shutdown corners. if only green was 5 years younger at the time. and bailey were 5 years older

Barry Wilburn used to pair with Darrell Green and was a fine player, winning a Super Bowl in 1988 with us.

Before the advent of Darrell Green, in the late 70's we had LeMar Parrish and Joe Lavender who were considered two of the best in the game.

Before them we had Pat Fischer and Mike Bass who were fine players.

All through the 1970's the Redskins were considered to have one of the very top secondaries in the NFL.
