RFKFedEx Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Who was the punter that got his nose shoved into his skull Looked like a pig walking off of the field, the nose was so bad. That was horrible. After Theismann, that's the second grossest Redskins injury I ever witnessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fan4life28 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 here's one that no one has mentioned Fred Smoot Last game, he tricked the trainers to go get something for him just so he could come out and play again after puking his guts out. Also, before he went to minnesota, i remember him having a shoulder injury that was apparantly pretty painful, but he still tackled WR/RB's in the flat like a pro. You could tell each takle hurt him. Also, Darrel green was pretty tough. See punt return vs Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGreenistheBest Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I'll give ya one bro. Dude's got a gizzard. I'm not sure if a tummy ache is the best indicator of toughness. He WAS vomitting blood though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cahones01 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Waaaaay too many to list. Jacoby, Fischer, Riggins, Coleman, Walton, Butz, Hanburger,Portis, Taylor....this could be a very long list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaimeDeCurry Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I'm not sure if a tummy ache is the best indicator of toughness. I don't think 'tummy ache' and throwing up blood and bile on the sidelines are one in the same. Smoot is one tough mother, that's for sure. Remember him playing with a broken sternum or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOF44 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Bubba Tyer thinks the toughest he's seen is Fischer. Legendary Redskins athletic trainer Bubba Tyer characterized #37 as the toughest player he’d ever encountered. When Darrell Green, an NFL great in his own right, one day reportedly described himself as a more "physical" player than Fischer, Tyer claimed all he could think was, "yeah, right."

RFKFedEx Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Does anybody remember that pic of Jacoby's hand in SI when they did that long cover feature on NFL injuries of retirees? Jake's fingers are gnarled like tree roots. This was back in 2001, but I can't imagine they look any better today. Much of the damage probably came in the 1986 (Jan. '87) playoffs when he had his hand completely wrapped into a ball of tape for the NFCC game @the Meadowlands. Looked like a mummy's head on the end of his arm. That was pretty tough not to sit it out when he only had one pincher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikie Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 ken houston... his career was unbelievable and he could lay the wood in the backfield... oh, and you have to mention theisman, any QB that returns punts with a single bar face-mask is gonna make my list... honorable mention for mike "mr. never fair catch" nelms...

RFKFedEx Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 How about an all time "super smartest" thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleycat Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Just food for thought here, but I'm noticing an overwhelming trend........If you tallied the total amount of African American players vs. Caucasian players who have played for the Redskins over the years, the percentage would be overwhelming. HOWEVER, as I go through this thread, 2/3's of the votes are for Caucasian guys. Not attempting to start a racial war here, but merely throwing that out there as food for thought.To me, its of the same ilk as the "smart, heady, white basketball player".....and "the tough white guy football player." I personally disagree with this line of thinking that occurs so naturally to others. That said, Mark Mosely was clearly the toughest Redskin of all-time (just kidding). I can't believe some of ya'll just let this lay !!?? I am continually amazed at BOTH white and Black folk who cannot just LET IT GO !!! That being said... It is obvious that most of you have a prejudice againt Samoans and Inuits !! Mark Schlereth Joe Salavea are the toughest !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estrella117 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I say Darrell Green. 20yrs at db is tough. Or Monte Coleman this guy I don't think ever missed a game and he was a hell of a linebacker. One of my favorite redskin all-time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleycat Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 There seem to be 2 schools of thought here... Ignoring pain Vs. Inflicting Pain The first one...All O-linemen The second...Fischer/Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Dave Butz or Brian Mitchell. I remember Matt Millen calling a Redskins game (when he was in the booth) and a fight erupted between Mitchell and another player. Millen stated that Brian Mitchell was the toughest guy that he had ever played football with, no question.... and that you'd have to be crazy to pick a fight with him. He said nobody on the team every wanted any part of Mitchell, including the linemen :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Schlereth Joe Salavea are the toughest !! Well sometimes things need to be said. Otherwise, actions fall into the category of acceptable b/c noone has said anything about it. Seriously, go through this thread, as I have done, and I will submit that it now appears to be 50/50 in terms of votes.................yet the all-time roster percentage is probably something much more like 75/25 (A.A./C.A.) Its clear based on the votes of this thread that our fans tilt toward the caucasion players more often than the african american players when considering toughness. I posted my comments with the sole purpose of causing some to stop and think about why that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
