Redskins Mt. Rushmore

Paintrain · 02-20-2009, 10:00 AM

ESPN's latest "Hey look at us" feature on Sportscenter has fans voting for who they would put on a Mt. Rushmore for sports figures from their state. That got me thinking (see ESPN, it works!) about who you'd put on your Redskins Mt. Rushmore. 4 faces, players or coaches, here's the caveat-that you saw play or coach for the Redskins. Who would you put up there?

Here's mine:
Darrell Green
Art Monk
John Riggins
Joe Gibbs

Those would be my 4 as well. Very easy choice.

Baugh, Gibbs, Riggins, and Green

djnemo65 · 02-20-2009, 10:27 AM

Yeah, I'm with dirthogs. As great as Monk was, an argument can be made for Baugh being the greatest player of all time, any era any position.

You guys saw Sammy Baugh play, what was that like?

(maybe if more people read the original post...)

LOL, I knew that would happen.. I was waiting for the first Baugh, George Allen, Darrell Green, Sean Taylor entry.

Note the one caveat that Paintrain presented.

djnemo65 · 02-20-2009, 10:38 AM

Well, it's 11:30 here and I've been drinking so I missed the BOLDED CAVEAT.

So I'd go D. Green, Gibbs, Monk, and maybe Charles Mann, given that Riggins retired when I was like 4.

SmootSmack · 02-20-2009, 10:45 AM

PT, the four you picked would probably be mine as well. Just to be different though, I'll pick four others

Dexter Manley
Joe Bugel
Gary Clark
Monte Coleman

I agree with PT, but along the lines of what you did:

Ken Houston
Jacoby & Grimm (squeezed into one space, yes I'm cheating)
Charles Mann
Dave Butz

That's about right. If you saw the Redskins play during the glory days it's REALLY hard to pick anybody else.

I don't know some could make a case for Charlie Brown, Theisman, Clark, the Hogs(even though they get no recognition), ...

For my era late 70's throught the 80's my Mt. RushSkins would look something like:

Gibbs
Doug Williams(made history)
Charlie Brown
Monk

Why Charlie Brown? Because he was on winning teams?

I may be wrong but I thought he still held some of the Redskins records. Wasn't he paired up with Riggo. Riggo being the diesel would run over people hard hitting HB and Brown would be the fast shifty RB?

Like I said we could put alot of people up their but most would be from the SB yrs I would guess. Thiesman was not the greates QB but got the job done. Riggo was a beast at RB. Green is one of the best CB's. Hell I remember him getting the nod to play in his first game and had to run back a kick off or punt. I remember him jumping/hurdling people and taking it to the end zone. Then later they questioned him about the run and he said something like yeah coach's told him don't be hurdling people anymore. Cause I think he broke his ribs on that play. Then came out the next game and played.

Mann, Manley, the smurfs. Those were the days. The end zone high fives.

I guess I'm the only one who would pick Doug Williams. Man made history with the Skins being the first African American QB to win a SB brought the team back in one quarter to win a SB. No big deal. Mosely....one of the only straight on soccer style kickers and one of the last. Those were the days. I hope we get a new generation of SB players to talk about.
