F-16 CHIEF Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Where is this guy now? He was one of my favorites. He was a head hunter in the truest sense. He had one of those late 80's early 90's face masks that looked like the grill of a Mack truck. He loved to hit people and had some good Superbowl plays. I did a search on him and couldn't find any info. Number 40 was the man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWinzit Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Certainly nobody that watched him would forget him!!! He is a favorite of many of us. Definitely a throwback player! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teller Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 #40 is one of my all-time favorites. I remember him describing once how he hit so hard. He said, "I don't try to hit the ball carrier. I try to hit two or three yards beyond him. That way, I know I'm hitting him at full speed." I loved that guy. The mohawk, the huge pads and neck roll, and the aforementioned facemask. It all combined to make an image that would have caused Freddie Mitchell to die on the spot; before the ball was ever snapped. I'd be excited to here what AW is doing now too if anybody knows. Also, I'll repeat my prior request for any old pics of him anyone might have. Google doesn't return much. Thanks in advance, and thanks for the thread, CHIEF.

I don't have any good pics of him, but I have a football card of him. Man, does he look scary. I would rather be hit by almost anyone than him. The picture on this card makes him look like a machine. It's sweet! :notworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsfaninSD Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Walton was one of my first favorite defensive players. I loved the relentless hard hitting at such a young age when I would watch him. I didnt know if that made me a violent kid or what, but that's how I played in our playground battles. I remember once a year, my dad's boss would give him and I his season tickets for a game, and I would just love watching Walton line up with his neck roll and just see how bad he wanted to hit someone. Good memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltimateSkins Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 He was a good tackler, but a huge liability in coverage. Kinda like Archuleta. Hopefully AA gets a little better in coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruffylookin Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Danny Copeland was brought in as an FA from KC and he ultimately beat out Walton for the SS spot in 91 training camp. I don't think that's correct. I believe Walton started the first two games of the 91 season but got hurt in the Dallas game. Copeland took over and kept the job when Walton came back later. Walton was sort of the Roy Williams of his day (though not as good as RW). He was a fearsome hitter and effective blitzer but had serious problems in coverage.

RedskinsFanInTX Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Alvin Walton had two of the team's five sacks in Super Bowl XXII. The guy was a hitting machine.:point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddyork Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Speaking of favorite Redskins, remember Wilbur Marshall and the night in Dallas that he tried to take off a Cowboys lineman's head in the end zone. I think there had been a fumble. They said he would go into a "zone" whenever we played the Cowboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins4ever Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Alvin Walton could hit! He could hit harder than hard. I remember back in '86 or '87 he had the mohawk. He could have made a heck of a coach if that's what he decided to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinzplay Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 One of my favorite Redskins defenders of all time. The man was an absolute beast in that secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
