I want to hear the story, IFL I believe it was, that couldn't be told on the radio today at Morton's...

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

What would be the greatest piece of advice you could give to any player coming into the league or even struggling to stay in it?

I'll need some more details

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

Sweet!

Dexter,

What was your favorite game during your time as a Redskin? If you're still a fan of the team, what has been your favorite Skins' moment since your departure?

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

If you don't mind, please explain how mind-bendingly awesome it was playing with those Super Bowl winning teams in the 80's? As a younger fan who couldn't witness those days I'd love to know how it felt with that group of guys in the locker room, and how it felt knowing you had a great team and a great leader in Joe Gibbs that could lead you to the promised land.

Or for a more simple question: What did it feel like being on the field with your teammates knowing that the Washington Redskins just won the Super Bowl?

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

Dexter, man you are one of my all time favorite skins, you gave me and my family plenty of thrills and reasons to cheer on so many Sundays. I want to Thank You for all you did for this franchise and the fans of the Redskins.

Other than playing and winning the Superbowls what are some of your favorite memories of playing for the Redskins?

We as Redskins fans defend, debate, and on occasion may fight with friends, family, and strangers who cheer for that hated franchise in Dallas. What did the Redskins vs. Cowboys Rivalry mean to you?

Hey man welcome back, it's been a while

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

One of my greatest childhood memories was meeting you at Georgetown Leather. I was 10 and you were very gracious and kind. Thank you.

My question:

How you would respond if you were on a team that had a coaching change and the new staff wanted you to play end in a 3-4 minimizing your great pass rushing skills? And, how do you think Butz would have been as the space eater NT?

This. How big of a game was it? Was it "circled on the calendar" and do you think it still is today? I'm not so sure current players or fans think as much of the rivalry as they/we used. I know I, for one, think it's a bigger game than most, but it's not necessarily THE biggest game on the schedule either time they play.

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

Favorite sack of all time?

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

What is your most memorable moment as a Redskin?

I heard Dex on the radio yesterday and he was great. I think all you need to do is ask him anything about his days with the Skins and let him talk.

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

Who is the best O-lineman he went up against?

Hardest QB to sack in his day?

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

Who was the player/players you disliked the most?

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

What's your thoughts on the NFC East? How does it compared to when you played?

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley

He said on the radio yesterday Elway was the hardest to bring down, you'd have him wrapped up or put a good hit on him and he just wouldnt go down. He said Randall Cummingham was the most elusive and toughest to get ahold of.

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

Dexter,

My favorite Redskins play of all-time is when you knocked Danny White out of the NFC championship game in '82. Thanks again for that.

Being a Canadian I figured I'd ask - How'd you like the CFL? What about Ottawa?

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

Do you agree with the way they handle college athletes, and the lack of ANY compensation, given the millions upon millions they generate for their given schools in ticket sales, memorbilia, jerseys, etc.......?


What are your thoughts on the college player that is being suspended for alledgedly selling his game worn jersey on ebay for some money?

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

Oh, and have you kept any of the jerseys you wore at Oklahoma State? Did you ever sell them for some cash to get some top ramen or pizza??????

He said Danny cried like a baby when he hit him. It was great to hear him talk about it on radio.

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

Might as well just interview irish.

Ya I read the transcript of that interview... loved it.

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

Dexter...MAN...nobody...NOBODY whipped a team into a frenzy like you did to our Defense. UNSTOPPABLE. GREAT radio interview yesterday.
I know Joe Gibbs has been a good influence in your life. I wonder do you still keep in contact with him? What is the most meaningful memory you have of Joe?
Big Congratulations on your fourth birthday!!
Good luck to you!

:lol:

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

Will keep this open until tomorrow night. Get your questions in

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

Do you still hate the Cowboys?

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

Dexter,

Would you consider coming back to help coach the Redskins defense? ;-)

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

If you could have 1 play back from your career to re-do, what would it be and why? Thanks man, your the best!!!

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

Smoot anyword on when we may get some answers, lol. I am excited to hear what some of DMs responses will be.

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

Dexter you Legend!!!! Who is the best Redskin pass rusher you have seen since your days in the game? I love me some defense, so figured I would ask an expert! HAIL!!!!

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

Dexter's had to take care of a few things unexpectedly so it may be a little while. I'll follow up soon

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

So I talked to Dexter and his manager the other day, and unfortunately this isn't going to happen. At least not for now. And when I say not for now, I mean not this season

Don't really want to get into the why, but I appreciate them being upfront about it...unlike a certain former kicker...

Sorry folks

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

Disappointing..........but life happens

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

Sad... we will get by though! I was realy looking forward to hearing from him. Hope all is well Dex.

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

Oh well it happens, thanks for letting us know!

Re: Warpath Q&A with Dexter Manley
 

Dexter, you were one of the most clever and cunning Defensive players I ever had the pleasure of watching. Do you feel you were discriminated against by your school teachers because you were so physcially gifted? It seems that they assumed you were unable to learn because you had superior size and atheletic skill.
