MartinC Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Offensive line, no questions asked. I'd agree with this and if you wanted a specific position I would say left tackle. Going back to the early 80's we have had Jacoby, Lachey and now Samuels. All Pro Bowlers and the first two should be HOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmet959 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I think the redskins were redefined during the Allen era We went from being a QB first offense to everything starting and ending with the offensive line Prior to Allen we had two of the best QB's of all time, for long tenures too. With Allen we've had the Hogs, then Hogs II under Gibbs and now Hogs III aka the Dirtbags under Gibbs again. outside of the offensive line i'd say we've had great cornerbacks during the last 40 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flycoach Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 We'll always be rememeberd for having the Hogs - the first O-line with a nickname. Totatlly dominant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwasdoinit Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 The OL has been great, but I remember a lot of talented DB's as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 The Redskins have a long and proud history, unmatched in the NFL, of defensive backs named after colors: Darrell Green Eddie Brown Jeris White Joe Lavender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouvan59 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 WRBobby Mitchell Charley Taylor Roy Jefferson Art Monk Gary Clark Ricky Sanders Santana Moss could be another one?!?!? :applause: Don't forget Henry Ellard and Charlie Brown. We've had a lot of great offensive linemen too but we are talking about 3 of the alltime greats at WR in Mitchell, Taylor and Monk. It's tough to fairly compare them because you have 5 players starting each year on the offensive line and only 2 at WR. Russ Grimm Joe Jacoby Len Hauss Jim Lachey Chris Samuels Jeff Bostic John Jansen Randy Thomas Walt Rock Mark Schlereth Raleigh McKenzie Mark May DBs are also well represented Darrell Green Champ Bailey Sean Taylor Mike Bass Pat Fischer Ken Houston Brig Owens Paul Krause Joe Lavender I'd still give it to WRs.

To be fair, I think you have to break it down to individual OL position. Someone mentioned left tackle as a big strength, with Jacoby, Lachey, and now Samuels. I mentioned center, with 3-time Pro Bowler Jim Shrader, 5-time Pro Bowler Len Hauss, and original Hog Jeff Bostic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Sure weve had some good LBers but when haven't we had a good/great RB? Since I've been watching we've had Riggins, Rogers, Byner, Allen, Davis, Portis. Before that we had Brown, Thomas in the 70's. Our 4 worst years in the past 40 years were the years when one of the above guys wasn't our leading RB. 1993-1994 was Brooks/Ervins and we were 3-13 and 4-12, 2003 was Candidate and we were 5-11, last year was 5-11 and it was Betts. So I'd say that it has been RB that we have been consistently winning with, and when we don't have a dominant RB we don't win games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoot Point Really Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Offensive Line isn't exactly a position... It's 5 positions. The common factor was great offensive line coaches like Joe Bugel and Jim Hanifan. I think Center is probably the best of the 5 positions, as said above... BUT! I'll go QB: Baugh, Jurgensen, Kilmer, Thiesmann, Williams, Rypien, and hopefully Jason Campbell What other team in the NFL has won 3 different Super Bowls with 3 different QBs? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the answer is 0... Teams with 3 wins (or more): GB - Starr, Favre Dallas - Staubach, Aikman SF - Montana, Young NE - Brady Pittsburgh - Bradshaw, Roethlisberger Oakland - Stabler, Plunkett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Deadman Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Offensive line, no questions asked. Yep, most famous O-line in the league. Nobody talks about O-lines throughout history but the Hogs...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I'd say O-line, RB and Secondary. I mean O-line is obvious, our secondary has had the likes of DG, Ken Houston, ST, and Champ. Then Riggins pretty much makes RB a go all by himself...then there's always that Clinton Portis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

method man Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 What about LB? Huff, Hanburger, Gouveia, Washington, and a whole bunch of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EersSkins05 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 It can't be RB when Clinton Portis had an average year (for him) and broke the single season all-time yardage record in '05. I'd say it has to go to O-linemen. (Despite the Hogs' relative absence in Canton) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I think it's been running back. In the last 40 years or so (Since Larry Brown was drafted... 69 i believe.) we've consistently had a running back that was a threat to reckon with. Larry Brown to Mike Thomas to John Riggins to George Rogers to Ernest Byner to Terry Allen to Stephen Davis to Clinton Portis ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfbovey Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 The running backs of the 80s and 90s benefited greatly from playing behind the best offensive line of all time. The Hogs. I think if you poll fans of other teams that's the position that would get the most respect. Very hard to believe that there isn't a single hall of famer from that group. Out of out 3 Superbowl wins, they were the constant. They were the reason the team won the Superbowl with 3 different QBs and 3 different starting runningbacks. The only other constant was the WR squad and #28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
