Re: Redskins Innovations

Sammy Baugh wasn't the first to make a forward pass but he is credited for making it an integral part of an offensive gameplan. Semi quoted from wiki.

Yeah, I'd put this #1. The NFL is a passing league and it all really started with Sammy Baugh, the greatest Redskin of all time IMO. Waterfield, Graham, and other early great passers were copy-catting Baugh.

Re: Redskins Innovations

Didn't the Skins have one of the first soccer-style kickers in the NFL (one of the Gogolak brothers)?

Re: Redskins Innovations

Sammy Baugh himself was an innovation, from being the first great passer in the sport, to setting the bar for an all-around player on offense, defense and special teams. Sure, back in the day, many players lined up on both sides of the ball, but no one ever did it as well as Sammy. Many since then have tried to imitate, such as Deion Sanders, none have been able to succeed.

Re: Redskins Innovations

How about the first owner's wife seen hurtling down M Street NW in Georgetown with a man clinging to the hood of her Jaguar convertible and pounding the windshield?

Re: Redskins Innovations

I almost forgot about that one. Didn't she also contest the will and try to get more money....or something like that? I just remember it got ugly between her and one of JKC's sons in regards to settlement.
