Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 The NFL hasn't accepted these stats yet (don't know if they ever will), so it's unofficial for the time being. The now unofficial franchise Top 5 is this: 1) Dexter Manley - 97 sacks 2) Ryan Kerrigan - 95.5 sacks 3) Charles Mann - 82 sacks 4) Diron Talbert - 65.5 sacks 5) Dave Butz - 59 sacks Some more recent guys like Brian Orakpo have fallen to a tie at 12th in franchise rankings, with 40 sacks. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/was/career-defense.htm 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dissident2 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) Anyone here old enough to remember Coy Bacon? He was one of my favorites in the pre-Gibbs days. Granted he wasn't with the team nearly long enough to set any sack records, but overall, he's credited unofficially with I think something like 130 sacks and supposedly had 26 in one season (again, unofficial), which would give him the all-time record.

RFK Lives Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Loved Coy Bacon, between him and Hanburger, was always hungry watching the Pardee Redskins. Joe Lavender was another of my favorites from that era. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Acre Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Coy made most of his bacon with the Bengals. I was thrilled when we got him. The 70's in D.C.: strong defenses, decent running game, but probably the worst receiving corps in the league after Roy Jefferson became a backup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerrigan was a great 'skin (Teamster?), but I like it when the records are associated with winning. That way the stats mattered. Dex helped along with Mann, Grant, and Butz formed a key component of the early glory years. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made the Pro Bowl both years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
