Mr. Nostril Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I'm a 20 year old College student who has been a fan of the skins for a long time. However, being as young as I am Ihave some trouble remembering the great redskins teams. I am trying to remember what the redskins starting lineup was during the '91 season when they went 14-2 and defeated the bills in the super bowl. I can currently remember the following Offense: Quarterback - Mark Rypin Running back - Ernest Byner Wide Recievers - Art Monk, Gary Clark, Rickey Sanders Tight End - ? (perhaps Terry Orr) Center - Jeff Bostic Guards - Russ Grim, ? Tackles - Jim Lachey, Joe Jacoby Defense: Defensive ends - Charles Mann, ? Defnsive Tackles - ?,? Linebackers - Wilbur Marshall, ?, ? Cornerbacks - Darrell Green, ? (perhaps Martin Mayhew) Safeties - ?, ? Special Teams: Kicker - Chip Lohmiller Punter - Kelly Goodburn Kick Returner - Brian Mitchell If anyone can help fill in the gaps that would great.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Eric Williams, Jumpy Geathers were the tackles I think. Fred Stokes was the other DE. Brad Edwards was one of the safeties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbear Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Wasn't Alvin Walton the other safety? I think Mayhew was the other CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Sometimes I wish I could wake up and it be 1991, but then again that was the beginning of a 5 year long nightmare that was called "marriage to my ex.":doh: As much as I loved the 1991 team I can deal with the bad teams as long as I can rest knowing the fact that that marriage is becoming more and more a vague memory.

SonnyJ Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Matt Millen was technically the starting MLB for that team. He was the run-stopping MLB. The funny thing was that, during the playoff run, the Redskins played three teams that threw the ball a lot in the Falcons, Lions, and Bills. Consequently, Millen was de-activated for every game and didn't play a down in the playoffs. Also, wasn't Orr the primary H-Back on that team?

jbooma Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 The question I have is what went wrong in 92? We dominated so much in 91 why were we bad in 92? Unless that was the year when we lost to the 49ers in the NFC championship game, then I understand. Did Gibbs leave after the superbowl or after the 92 season?

TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 In 1992 we sustained some injuries and got to 9-7. We won one playoff game and then played the 49ers in the divisional round. They beat us in a close game in SF and went on to lose to the Cowboys in the NFC Championship game. Then Gibbs retired prior to the 1993 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Nothing went wrong in 92. We were decimated by injuries and still got to the second round of the playoffs. That team had a lot of heart and Gibbs coached the hell out of those guys. Nowadays we'd be 4-8 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnyJ Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 JBooma, I think age was beginning to creep in at that point. I also remember that team having just a boatload of injuries. I recall a game against the Saints when you knew there wasn't a chance they were going to score because they were just pulling guys in off the street in order to field an offense. Rypien came back to Earth that season, too. They had also lost just enough of that edge, too. That '91 team was one of the all-timers. You can't expect to duplicate that. They gave the 49ers a good scare in the playoffs that year, but that was just the last hurrah. When times are lean (like say, now, for instance), I remember the beauty of that '91 team and it helps me feel a whole lot better. And, for the impatient ones in the crowd, that team was 3-4 years in the making. It didn't just happen overnight. Those guys were out of the playoffs twice and a wildcard once in the three season preceding '91. It all came together that season. Sometimes, you just have to let things run their course...

Henry Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Originally posted by TK421CLICKER Didn't Rypien pull a hold out after the Super Bowl win? Yeah, Rypien held out and missed some of the pre-season. We got crushed in week one at Dallas, and in our home opener (against the Falcons I think) he got booed. The QB of the defending SB Champions booed in the home opener. We won a lot of close games and backed into the playoffs, but we came within a fumbled hand-off of the NFC Championship game. We should only be so lucky nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Hog Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Its funny how in the midst of a 4-8 season we quickly bring up the '91 team. haha. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against it whatsoever. Its actually nice thinking about the happy times. In fact, I think I'm gonna pull out the game tape of the '91 Super Bowl and watch how true Washington Redskins football is meant to be played.

Symbol Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Originally posted by TK421CLICKER Didn't Rypien pull a hold out after the Super Bowl win? Good memory, yes he did, and didn't look the same until about week 10, by then the team was only playing to make it to the playoffs, which they did. Of course we lost our back up QB in Stan Humphries the year after we won the Super Bowl too. Maybe that was the beginning of the end for us, losing a good back up that could have taken over for Rypien. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have loved for Humphries to have taken over for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless that was the year when we lost to the 49ers in the NFC championship game, then I understand. Did Gibbs leave after the superbowl or after the 92 season? We lost to San Fran in the Divisional Series by 4, I believe. Monk dropped a pass that was a little behind him on 4th that would have kept the drive alive. They were a decent team (10-6 or 11-5), but didn't have that same swaggar as the best team of all time, the '91 'Skins. You're right...Gibbs was gone to NASCAR after that game. I was only 11, so my memory could be a little faded... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanathos19 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Sorry to the repetitive reply to JBooma...I didn't read all the rest of them. On another note: We tend to have a thing with giving QB's away. Humphries was solid for several years (Chargers to the SB)...Rich Gannon (but who could have seen that coming)...Trent Green (who played well in recovery of Frerotte in lieu of the head-butt-the-wall incident) who now is one of the best in the game. Anymore that I'm missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atloldskin Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 These guys are right; Rypien held out and it seemed every long pass he threw beyond his receivers whereas in 1991 Rypien could not miss with the long ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I'm pretty sure Darrell Green held out for a little bit of camp after that year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
