Anybody Remember Mike Nelms?

GREAT Redskin!! #21. Made the All-Madden team in the early days. Nelms was an amazing return man and Wayne Seviere (sp?) used to figure out new ways of getting him the ball on special teams plays.

If I remember correctly, Nelms never had a fair catch

Now Dblanch66, there's a name - Wayne Sevier (sp). You talk about a special teams coach! Guys would run through a wall for that coach!

The good old days, huh?

Wasn't he the guy who had a hot dog stand just down the street from the White House. Some of the past Presidents would have the secret service sneak down and get them a few dogs when the first lady wasn't watching.

I believe and I'm stretching the brain cells on this...I think it was that he went an entire season without a fair catch.

i remember Mike Nelms as being the first great return man the skins had. i think he was a defensive back, but don't remember him doing anything but returning kicks. anyone remember Herb Mul-key? how about Eddie Brown? the skins have had some good return men over the years

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?

Yeah, B. Mitch pretty much made people forget about Nelms...but I gotta tell you, if I had to choose, I'd probably take Nelms although B.Mitch could end up in the Hall.

nelms was good a few years,mitchell was great every year.i still get pissed off cause snyder and turner cut him to sign mr asswipe sanders.:hater:
mitchell should be a first ballot hofamer.the only player that has more total yards combined in the league's history is jerry rice ,and brian mitchell is second.i just hope he goes in as a redskin and not an eagle or giant!

I think most of B-Mitch's issues were actually with Cerrato. Either way, he did re-sign with the Redskins last year (or the year before) and retire a Redskin

Anyhow, greatest Redskins punt returner? Darrell Green. Remember the hurdle?
