[quote=Lotus;933024]This is an awesome thread. It brings back so many great memories.[/quote]

I know. Suddenly I can remember all of the names from my childhood that I haven't thought of for a few decades!

This will be a good education for the younger members.

Emtman could have been great... he had a rough time with injuries

[quote=Monkeydad;933027]Anyone else remember Reggie Brooks, #40 RB? He was a 1,000-yard rusher for us.[/quote]

Great one year wonder.

I was so pumped when we drafted him, remember this run from Notre Dame?

Marcus Washington. LOVED that guy when he played for us. Was beast most of the time and one of the nicest players I've ever met off-the-field.

Re: 10 Favorite Redskins That No One Else Knows About
 

We probably have so many QBs no one remembers.

Cary Conklin
Jeff Rutledge
Tony Banks
Shane Matthews
Danny Wuerffel
John Friesz
Ed Rubbert

Unfortunately I'll never forget Heath Shuler. The bum still makes my blood boil. It was like false advertising, bait-and-switch...he was supposed to be so great.

[quote=Monkeydad;932992]I knew that Terry Crews played for us, had one tackle too...but I did not realize he was the Old Spice guy until just now.

[quote=Monkeydad;933027]We have so many players that no one [U]remembers[/U] was on the Redskins. Most were great players with OTHER teams so it's quite sad:
Frank Wycheck
Stan Humpries
Rich Gannon
Gerald Riggs
Henry Ellard
David Akers
Trent Green
Jeff Hostettler
Alvin Harper
Steve Entman (one of the biggest NFL busts ever)[/quote]

Here's another one compliments of the "Way Back Machine": Paul Krause. Krause is a HOF Free Safety. Played his first three seasons with the Skins and was then traded to Minnesota.

Re: 10 Favorite Redskins That No One Else Knows About
 

I'm going to go with Reggie Branch. Not because of his stats, or lack thereof, but because of this story:

While tailgating before the 2004 Redskins/Eagles game in DC, some Eagles fans Reggie knew caught up to him in the parking lot. Apparently he'd bet them in the first game that year that the Skins would win, and since they lost, he had to wear a T.O. jersey into the stadium. He had his 1987 Super Bowl ring on, and since I'm a loudmouth. I yelled "Reggie, you can't wear an Eagles jersey and a ring at the same time!"
He replied, "You're right," and handed me his ring. It was the heaviest piece of jewelry I'd ever touched. I had it for about three minutes before he took it back. Totally worth it.

Great story Brud!...welcome to the board ;)

I forgot Todd Bowles

Re: 10 Favorite Redskins That No One Else Knows About
 

I know he wasnt a player, but I bet alot of people dont know Vince Lombardi was our coach in 1969 - and on top of that completely turned the franchise around.........

[quote=artmonkforhallofamein07;933065]RB Gerald Riggs[/quote]

How strange is it that when I think of Riggs, I think of him in the red Falcons helmet first, despite that he played on the Redskins for a while?

He was one of the best in the league for Atlanta in the mid-80s. In '85, he was a few yards short of 2,000 AP yards.

Re: 10 Favorite Redskins That No One Else Knows About
 

It's funny that a lot of people say Bryant, because at the time many thought he was a bit of a bust with us after his tremendous USFL career

Re: 10 Favorite Redskins That No One Else Knows About

Isn't he on that new show Newsroom now?

I liked Rich Owen too

And though he didn't do much at all while here, I liked Raphel Cherry....until he murdered his wife

Has anyone mentioned Doc Walker?

At the time I always thought Bryant was misused,as in not used enough.He became mostly a 3rd down back and I thought we should have used him more

He had some injury issues didn't he?

George Rogers seems very forgotten when you talk about Redskin RBs (and I guess to some extent Terry Allen as well)

Re: 10 Favorite Redskins That No One Else Knows About
 

Yeah Bryant wasn't a workhorse type of back, he was always dinged up it seemed.

George Rogers had a couple of nice years here.

Re: 10 Favorite Redskins That No One Else Knows About
 

Odell Thurman and Dre Bly. The Redskins that never were.

Re: 10 Favorite Redskins That No One Else Knows About
 

How about Kentwan Balmer? He's the Redskin that no one knows where to find.

Re: 10 Favorite Redskins That No One Else Knows About
 

Actually come to think of it I miss the stars from our one year of Martyball. Kevin Mitchell, Ki-Jana Carter, and mostly David Szott who was a master at running that inside pull where the center and guard would block down and Szott would pull into the hole functioning as a lead blocker.

Also a lot of people forget the greats like Sam Shade and Pete Kendell.

Re: 10 Favorite Redskins That No One Else Knows About
 

RIP Kevin Mitchell

I didn't mean on this list, I just meant in general

I mentioned Rogers along with Bryant because they were the backs (along with Vital I think) on that 1986 team (which was widely underappreciated)

[QUOTE=Mattyk;933262]lol I too thought the idea here was to name some obscure guys[/QUOTE]

Yeah obscure because people other than skins fans dont realize how great they are or they played for a short time with the skins and prople dont know it.
