Redskins Mt. Rushmore

[Paintrain]

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.

[dirthogs311]

Baugh, Gibbs, Riggins, and Green

[djnemo65]

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...)

Note the one caveat that Paintrain presented.

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

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]

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

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

Dexter Manley
John riggins
Gibbs
Clint Didier - "Its getting to be Didier time"

Why Charlie Brown? Because he was on winning teams?

I watched the 87 team play in the SuperBowl, but I didn't remember much from it. Now my grandmother tells me that I used to point at John Riggins on the TV and say "That's me!", but if I don't recall it, then I don't count it.

The first year that I fully understood the Game was the 91 season when we went to the Superbowl. Though I am aware of the accloades of all of the 80's teams there is only one team that stands out in my mind. If I were to honestly name 4 coaches or players that I can remember playing and were to put on a Rushmore, then it would have to be.

Joe Gibbs
Darrell Green
Art Monk
Charles Mann

Honorable Mention: Gary Clark

I was talking to Lil' Danny Snyder this a.m., and he wants four busts of himself (different poses with/without sunglasses) created in the highest place known to man! He kept muttering something about short-man-syndrome or something....
