Redskins Best Ever Series: DEFENSIVE END

freddyg12 · 06-23-2009, 11:35 AM

Mann was (is) the man.
Dexter was my favorite player for years. Despite some inconsistency & not that stout vs. run, he gave the d a spark & touch of flamboyance to an otherwise quiet group.

YouTube - Ernst & Young "Today's Legend of the Game" Dexter Manley

i agree with this..does anybody remember that game in 89 where he sacked Phil simms 4 times in one quarter? We lost that game, but he was a beast.

I'm going with Gene Brito. That guy was a menace, one of the best DE's to play for any team during the 50's.

I also give props to Mann - good player, good human being.

Wasn't just headlines and flash. Dexter's 90+ sacks still rank the most among any man who wore the burgundy and gold.

No love for Ron McDole. 12 interceptions! What linemen would get that now? Or what about our very own Tony McGee

Anyhow, Mann was no slouch as a pass rusher either, 80+ sacks in his career

Manley was a heck of a pass rusher no doubt, but he wasn't as stout against the run as Mann was. And Mann was a pretty good pass rusher himself.

Dexter Manley and Charles Mann was the best pair of Washington Redskin defensive ends. Maybe the best defensive end pair of all time.

KI Skins Fan · 06-25-2009, 02:15 PM

Dexter Manley. He was the one other teams feared most.

Charles Mann was also an outstanding DE.

skins89moss · 06-27-2009, 08:40 AM

Its really close between Mann and Manley. Charles is a class act and Dexter had his drug addiction and prison. I would have to with total body of work with Charles Mann.

Didn't Deacon Jones and Coy Bacon play for the Redskins back in the day?

I voted Charles "Hungry" Mann, he was always there when you needed him from what I can remember.

steveo395 · 06-27-2009, 10:00 PM

stats?

BringBackJoeT · 06-30-2009, 09:43 AM

Dexter won? Wow. I mean, I did vote for him and made a tiny case for him on the thread, but I thought Mann was the direction most were going in--in fact, he seemed to have a good lead on Dexter when I voted.

Atta boy, Dexter.

Osi and Strahan would beg to differ with that. But they were good.

They......flat-assed scared offenses. Manley had a way of whipping the Defense into a frenzy. It became like a swarming....Juggernaut

Just watched the '87 and the '91 skins on NFL network. Both great shows. They said Mann had a 28" waist. The man looked lean, but WOW!
