10 Favorite Redskins That No One Else Knows About

JoeRedskin · 08-23-2012, 09:18 AM

Okay, so Smoot's thread got me thinking as I was naming the 10 Greatest Redskins that I have seen. Lots of guys I came up with were guys I loved to watch but weren't ever going to be on anybody's "Greatest" anything list. They weren't going to the HOF, maybe never got to the pro-bowl and, if you named them to other teams fans, those folks would never have heard of them or only had some vague recollection of them. Even other Redskins fans might say "Who?". Regardless, you loved to see them play.

Same restriction as in the "10 Greatest" thread - you have to have seen them play (live or tv).

Clint Didier
Brad Dusek
Harald McClinton
Charlie Harraway
Pat Fisher (meanest, toughest bastard in town).
Charlie Brown
Mike Nelms
Neal Olkewicz
Darryl Grant
Jon Jansen

Jeez, this is tough. This will take some time

Chico23231 · 08-23-2012, 09:39 AM

Chip Lohmiller
Lavar Arrington
Santana Moss
John Jansen
Dave Butz
Ricky Sanders
Ernest Byner
Tre Johnson
Wilber Marshall
Brian Mitchell

I left Santana Moss off my other list and that was a big mistake!!! The September 2005 game where he and Brunell beat the Cowboys on Monday night in the Ring of Horror game is on my list of greatest Redskins games ever. I will always like Santana... true professional and Cowboy beater!

ArtMonkDrillz · 08-23-2012, 09:49 AM

Ethan Albright (obviously)
James Thrash
Randy Thomas pre-complete physical breakdown
Mike Sellers
Chip Lohmiller
Cornelius Griffin

I guess I'll think of 4 more later.

JoeRedskin · 08-23-2012, 09:49 AM

Tre' Johnson - good call! Man was a beast. Also liking the R. Sanders and E. Byner picks.

SmootSmack · 08-23-2012, 10:04 AM

I don't know, a lot of the players selected here aren't really "no one else knows about" players. They're borderline Greatest Ever.

I'll go with

RB-Kelvin Bryant
RB-Joe Washington
K/P-Steve Cox
CB-AJ Johnson
S-Curtis Jordan
DE-ND Kalu
WR-Calvin Muhammad

NC_Skins · 08-23-2012, 10:14 AM

Wilber Marshall
Chip Lohmiller
John Jansen
Clint Didier
Darryl Grant
Jeff Bostic
Don Warren
Raleigh McKenzie
Monte Coleman
Mark May

I put May up there because outside of the Redskins fans, most only know him as the ESPN analyst.

I was always fond of Kelvin Bryant because he was representing the area around here. He grew up in a town about 20 mins from where I live. Small town named Tarboro.

MTK · 08-23-2012, 10:38 AM

Nice call on Kelvin Bryant. Great receiver out of the backfield, one of my favs for sure.

Yeah. I was hoping for some guys that made people think - "Oh yeah! I kinda remember him". It's why I didn't put Kilmer on my list.

Kalu and Jordan - Oh yeah! I kinda remember them!

KI Skins Fan · 08-23-2012, 10:44 AM

Nobody knows about Pat Fischer, Wilber Marshall, and Lavar Arrington?

12thMan · 08-23-2012, 11:23 AM

Kelvin Bryant was the first one to come to mind.

Also:

George Starke
Joe Lavender
Rich Milot
Joe Washington
Vernon Dean
Lemar Parrish

12thMan · 08-23-2012, 11:35 AM

Not sure which of my picks show up on the greatest 70, but these are Skins that you rarely hear mentioned.

Joe Lavendar and Lemar Parrish could end up in the Hall some day.

skinsguy · 08-23-2012, 11:44 AM

Tough list, but here we go:

1. Kelvin Bryant RB (I agree with you guys on him)
2. Steve Cox P/K
3. Eric Yarber PR (Never saw him fair catch any punts)
4. Brian Davis S
5. Ricky Ervin RB
6. Joe Washington RB
7. Todd Bowles S
8. Alvin Walton DB (I don't know how "known" he is outside of Redskins fans)
9. Frank Wycheck TE (I know he made his fame with the Titans, but I hated the 'skins given him up!)
10. Kurt Gouveia LB
