The other four though, they're beginning to make their own history right next to the Hogs if you ask me. But too often, I think we get hung up on names that are nothing more than a familiarity to us as fans. When you actually get down to examination of their contribution on the field though, it gets difficult -- objectivity loses out. Take Renaldo Wynn for instance. He seems to be a fan favorite, and for the life of me I cannot figure out why. People talk about him as the "locker room leader" and BINGO! ... he gets the tag of a 'core Redskin' and his complete and utter lack of any playmaking ability whatsoever gets tossed out the window, and gets a pass. Check these numbers: in the last two seasons ('05 & '06) he has played in 15 games each year, has 30 and 14 tackles for the seasons respectively, and one half sack. He'd have serious trouble making the roster of any other team in the league. Someone please explain that one to me.

Forgot to add Randle El and Ladell to my list. They definitely should be included. Bill B 01-04-2007, 06:22 PM I thought I heard Gibbs say in an interview that James Thrash was a core Redskin? Also what exactly does a Core redskin mean? Is it a term to describe players who have outstanding work ethic and lead by example? Or is it a term to mean guys we absolutely have to have on our team to win the games? Couldn't stating that you are a core Redskin make some of the lesser known guys feel a little slighted? I don't see other teams terming their players as core guys - why do the Skins do this?

That is an excellent point. Gibbs may not single out players who are underperforming, but what does it say to a player who gets omitted from the "core" list that Gibbs always talks about? Props to Bill B on that one. firstdown 01-04-2007, 06:35 PM I thought I heard Gibbs say in an interview that James Thrash was a core Redskin? Also what exactly does a Core redskin mean?

Gmanc711 01-04-2007, 06:35 PM Mike Sellers should be on everyones list. skinsfan69 01-04-2007, 07:20 PM I've been thinking about this since all the articles have been written about the internal challenges we've gone through this year. I love every player on the current team....Archuletta included:) But I was thinking if I absolutely had to start over with the current group we have and build from there, who would I keep. Again, I'm making this decision based on what I perceive as a core Skin and not neccessarily their talent or what I've seen on the field. I would have to start with Jon Jansen. I think this guy truly bleeds burgundy and gold. Chris Samuels. Rock Cartwright. Mike Sellers. Ethan Albright. Randy Thomas LaDell Betts Ade Jimoh Chris Cooley Jason Campbell Sean Taylor Santana Moss Reynaldo Wynn Phillip Daniels Derrick Dockery Yep, that's it. Why do so many people have Wynn and Daniels. Becasue they are good locker room guys? I think you have to be productive on the field too and neither of them are productive.
