Burgold Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Well, maybe there is a question, but I just read that Raleigh McKenzie was the GM for the Raiders and I think that makes four or five ex-Gibbs Redskins who are currently highly placed personel men in the NFL if not the outright GMs/decisionmakers. Kinda cool, but also frustrating when you think of all the years that we had Vinny when we could have had Martin Mayhew who did such an amazing job with the Lions or one of the others.

Burgold Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Raleigh McKenzie (born February 8, 1963 in Knoxville, Tennessee) is a former American football player in the National Football League who played guard for the Washington Redskins from 1985 to 1994. McKenzie was the epitome of the "Hogs" depth amidst the Redskins famed 1980s and early 1990s offensive line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpskins10 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Yeah, but his brother is the one who is GM. Not Raleigh, but Reggie. ---------- Post added January-17th-2012 at 08:02 PM ---------- Pretty sure Raleigh wasn't a Redskin, it was his brother that played for us. You got it backwards.

Burgold Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Ah, whoops... lazy reading on my part. There still have been a goodly number of ex-Redskins, but it is Reggie... versus Raleigh (who I always really liked as a player... plug and play him anywhere on the line.

The Rook Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Ahh ... Burgold, you have a little something on your face ... not there ... no, not there .... there ... you got it. Would have been a nice thread, though. In fact, I am still amazed by the number of "successful" players from the Gibbs era - Grimm, Stink, May, Walker, ... :helmet: The Rook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsHokieFan Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 It doesn't help that they look EXACTLY the same. At first when I heard of Reggie McKenzie, I thought it was a mistake and it really was Raleigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabidFan Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Don't forget Mark Murphy with the Packers and Todd Bowles was an interim HC and interviewing for HC positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWFLSkins Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Pretty sure Raleigh wasn't a Redskin, it was his brother that played for us. thats okay, it happens.....Raleigh was the Redskin just not the Gm... http://bleacherreport.com/articles/667036-washington-redskins-the-10-biggest-draft-day-steals-in-team-history/page/2 When Raleigh McKenzie was drafted in 1985, he was just supposed to be a depth addition to "The Hogs." At first, he was. Then, as it were in the NFL, he found himself filling in at literally every position on the offensive line, but he excelled at center. McKenzie played for nine years as the wild card of the Hogs, and won Super Bowls XXII and XXVI in the Joe Gibbs era.

HogNose Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Don't worry Burgold. When I saw this hire I immediately thought of our ex-Redskin. I had to look it up and then realized it was his twin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
