SkinsGuy Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Great news and long deserved. Darrell Green was "Mr. Redskin" when he was playing and is still one of the greatest cornerbacks, not just in Washington history, but in NFL history. Congrats #28. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringMetheHeadofBruceAllen Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) Harvey Weinstein's conviction was just overturned by a panel of all-female judges...maybe the ball will get rolling to bring the old name back...but I think Redwolves is better. I'm convince the old unis (sans logo) will come back in some form. Edited April 25 by BringMetheHeadofBruceAllen 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFK Lives Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 This was so well done. Now mind you, everything decent to us is foreign and new since the previous regime jaded us into oblivion but the video, the strategy and everything, it had more to it than the pathetic rebranding effort by those who's name will no longer be spoken. And I love Riggo, Monk and Joey T. but I feel like this is the one you retire to represent the longevity, decency and level of excellence of Green and that era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profusion Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Darrell Green basically IS the Washington Redskins, as far as I'm concerned. Way overdue to have 28 be officially retired. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder if Jason Wright was even involved in the whole process...after all, he didn't just suddenly figure out how to properly plan and execute a project like this, especially based on his previous FUBARs with Sean Taylor and others.

Probos Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 It's about ****ing time! I am so happy but at the same time,...it just rekindles my hatred for the previous regime. Congratulations Darrell -- overdue but much, much deserved. A legendary Redskin and NFL player. One of the best ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key guy in team history but not sure his # should be retired. Heck, he quit on the team once, though it may have eventually led to the hiring of Gibbs.

Conn Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Great move. Maybe unpopular but I think Green should be only the second jersey number we have retired (after Baugh). I won’t argue anyone about it but imo it should only be Baugh and Green right now. Ring of fame, statues, whatever else—tons of deserving players, especially from the original Gibbs era. But as far as jersey number retirements, you can only do so many of those throughout a franchise’s history. Baugh and Green stand above the rest as being deserving, each representing an important historic era and historic career. But again, I get this is very personal and arbitrary, so I won’t argue others who feel differently. I just think retiring a number should be the absolute greatest, rarest honor, even above a gold HOF jacket or a Ring of Honor placement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that's more than deserving of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think I don’t, give my post another read lol. I said in my ideal world, only Baugh and Green have retired numbers for us (but that I know many won’t agree) Edited April 25 by Conn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
