[QUOTE=dmek25;328251]offiss, i didn't think you were that old. Eddie Brown single handedly won that game for the redskins[/QUOTE]

LOL, I have been rooting for the skins since I was 8 years old back in 72'.

One of the all-time great REDSKINS, much like Mr. Mitchell. Tough and Gritty football player.

[quote=offiss;328247]Nelms was a tough guy out there but so was B mitch, saw both of their careers in full and you can't compare the 2, Mitch was a game changer, and a field position return man, where as Nelms would provide good field position but he wasen't a game breaker, I liked Nelms but he's no B Mitch.

Eddie Brown deserves some recognition as well, who can forget that great kick return in the rain and mud against the Cards on monday night football to win the game for us. One of the all time great monday night highlights.[/quote] That was one the the all time great performance's on MNF !! NFL network should air that game sometime , was that 1975 ? J. Washington had a night like that also on MNF < as a Colt > , but I do not remember JW returning much for us !

[quote=redskinsfanatic;327763]how about nick"the trashcan"giaquinto,speedy duncan,and of course when joe theisman joined the skins in 1974,he returned punts for awhile.if memory serves me right,brian mitchell broke all mike nelm's punt return records.he sucked at reciever as a redskin,but had gibbs kept on coaching,
desmond howard and mitchell would have been a really great punt return
tandem.anyone remember mitchell throwing that 30 yard across the field lateral to howard that beat the falcons in gibbs last season 1st time around?[/quote]


Herb MulKey wasn't half bad.
