80 Greatest Redskins
 

It's the 80th anniversary of the Washington Redskins (well, going back to Boston in 1932 actually)

And there has been some speculation that the Redskins will add 10 players to this list

So...what 10 players would you add to the list?

Portis deserves some thought considering where he stands on the team's all time rushing list.

Re: 80 Greatest Redskins
 

Marcus Washington
Chris Samuels
Sean Taylor
Santana Moss
Clinton Portis
Philip Daniels
Fred Smoot
Chris Cooley
James Thrash
London Fletcher

Honorable Mention: Todd Collins & The Red Snapper

I'd replace Fred Smoot with Shawn Springs.

Ken Harvey instead of Marcus Washington.

[quote=SFREDSKIN;906289]Ken Harvey instead of Marcus Washington.[/quote]

He is already in the 70 Greatest.

Re: 80 Greatest Redskins
 

Chris Samuels
Sean Taylor
Clinton Portis
Lamar Parrish- 8 time Pro Bowler, Led entire NFL with 9 interceptions 1979.
Joe the Bird Lavender- 29 interceptions as a Redskin
London Fletcher

Re: 80 Greatest Redskins
 

London Fletcher for sure. And it's hard not to put Sean Taylor in there since he's already in the ring of honor. Even though he only played 4 years, I think we all know his ceiling was HOF type stuff.

Re: 80 Greatest Redskins
 

Well, I would add Richie Petitbon. If he is in the Ring of Fame which is a much more exclusive club, then he should also be on the Greatest list.

Re: 80 Greatest Redskins
 

Clinton Portis
Chris Samuels
Joe Bugel
Richie Petitbon
Sean Taylor

I don't know that any current Redskins would get in

I'd second that list.. Cooley is probably borderline off of the current roster.

Is it too early for RGIII? Kidding! (Sort of)

Yeah Pettibone and Buges, should be there, great additions.

Re: 80 Greatest Redskins
 

Roy Jefferson
Chris Samuels
Joe Bugel
Richie Petitbon
Sean Taylor
Charlie Brown
Chris Cooley
Rich Milot
Darryl Grant

Re: 80 Greatest Redskins
 

Obviously Albert Haynesworth.

Re: 80 Greatest Redskins
 

Ade Jimoh

Edit: London as a close 2nd, but Ade first

Great list , almost forgot about L. Parrish . I would consider C. Gouveia and of course Petibon and Bugel .

Re: 80 Greatest Redskins

SS already mentioned it, but I think no current Redskins will make the list. Fletcher will probably make it after he retires or leaves.

Re: 80 Greatest Redskins
 

WOW i assumed Daryl Grant was on it!! Doesnt he deserve it?? I sure think so.He was a beast in the middle.

You didn't actually expect people to check the list first did you? Sucker.

Okay, thanks. I wasn't aware of that. Those others I name deserve to be on the list for the 80 great Redskins.

My bad.

I always thought that if this list had been done a few years later, that Stephen Davis would have replaced Terry Allen.

I'm not entirely certain Stephen Davis would be on any list. The guy retired as a Carolina Panther after all.

Looking at both their numbers, that argument definitely makes sense.

Re: 80 Greatest Redskins
 

Just a question but is Jack Kent Cook already on the list or B.Beathard?(sp)

Charles Mann finished up with the 49ers, Dexter Manley with either the Cards or Tampa. I forget who Monk finished up with, but you get my point.

Re: 80 Greatest Redskins
 

Plenty of guys on the list finished up with other teams. That's just how it goes in the modern era.

Bullet Bill Dudley's best years were as a Steeler, but he is still on the 70 Greatest list. Then you can look at Paul Krause. I had him sign 10 Redskin jerseys with the 70 Greatest inscription. He said he should be putting anything with the word "Greatest" on any Redskins items. His best years were clearly with the Vikings.

Re: 80 Greatest Redskins
 

davis played 7 years w the redskins, 3 w the panthers, and 1 w the rams. he was not fond of the redskins, he chose to retire a panther

I realize your talking players and coaches but without Beatherd and Cook how many of those guys would have been around,same could be said for Vince Lombardi ,yes I realize he was'nt with the Skins very long but he brought in Sam Huff and some others who help build a winning tradition when G .Allen got there,just a thought.

If these guys don't make it it's a shitty list. I think Parrish should come up for HOF vote at some point.

Re: 80 Greatest Redskins
 

Tanna def has to make it.

Re: 80 Greatest Redskins
 

Kurt Gouveia, Alvin Walton, Mark Schlereth, Charlie Johnson, Stephen Davis, Chris Samuels, Darryl Grant, Roy Jefferson, Jon Jansen, Sean Taylor and, Im pretty baffled noone mentioned Larry Michaels

He should at least get an honorary spot or somethin'.....

Re: 80 Greatest Redskins
 

Just a random bit of interesting info. Vince Lombardi did not make the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
