Criminally underrated Skin for sure. Harvey and blast from the distant past Monte Coleman were captains of the Redskins all physique linebacker team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The consumate overachiever. 5' 11" 230 pounds of hard hitting fury. Perhaps the best instincts of any Redskin mlb.

Burgold Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Same era, I remember when we traded two number ones for Wilber Marshall and people were disappointed in him because he wasn't generating huge sack numbers. People wanted him to be our Lawrence Taylor. Pettibone, on the other hand, was ecstatic with him. He used him as an all around backer with lots of coverage responsibility. The other cover linebacker and perhaps the first nicklebacker I can remember was Monte Coleman who was amazing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a bloody Brit, aren't you? I suspected as much when you spelled "defence" with a "c" in a recent post. It appears that we have a very strong following in the UK. Did this originate in the Gibbs 1.0 years? I believe one of the first Superbowls televised there was Riggo's spectacular mvp day in SB 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps due to the no-i-in-team philosophy, i still think of him as a Bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonnySideUp Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year 2 years in a row? Would be nice if it happened. https://www.si.com/nfl/washingtonfootball/news/case-washington-jamin-davis-as-nfl-rookie-year >>.....Rivera swung big in April at the No. 19 pick with the selection of Jamin Davis. The athletic Kentucky linebacker can play sideline to sideline and be effective at near every level of the field. The expectations are high for Davis to step in, learn the playbook and contribute in both the base 4-3 and subpackages as well. How talented can Davis be in his rookie year? CBS Sports' Chris Trapasso has the WFT star as the front-runner for the Defensive Rookie of the Year.... .....This isn't to say that Davis won't have any hiccups transitioning from the college game to the NFL. Every rookie will struggle and needs time to adjust to NFL speed. For Davis, having a cheat code like WFT's defensive line will help plenty in recording tackles. That ultimately gives Washington a chance to land back-to-back DROYs in the short time under Rivera's regime. << 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No team back to back DRPOTY ever (AP or PFW) and only happened for Offense once (AP not PFW) and that was the first 2 years in Detroit (67-68 seasons).

During the draft process instead of admitting he did some bad things that caused his character to he questioned, he basically lashed out and said he wouldn't want to go to a team that made a big deal about it. Then with this thing, instead of just apologizing, he once again lashed out and called others who took offense to it "sick". Then he did the whole passive-aggressive "apology" where he said "If you took offense, sorry". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
