Redskins Best Ever Series: DEFENSIVE END

Defensive Ned? Sounds like a good name for a comic strip. I picture some dorky or unfortunate looking fellow (perhaps the 80's guy holding the disc in 70Chip's favorite picture) all defensive about his appearance. LOL

I'll be voting for Charles Mann.

Who is Gene Brito? Oh, he played in 51-53 and 55-58. I wasn't even born. Did they have television, because I haven't seen a highlight or mention of him before. I think it is a no-brainer, Charles Mann, maybe Dexter Manley.

Please. Kenard Lang wipes the floor with Renaldo Wynn. Remember that season where Kenard had 30 sacks.

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.

Love Charles Mann but I'm going with Dexter Manley. He hated Dallas and put their QB's where they belong. On their ass. Of course I wouldn't mind Mann either, great player and one of the classiest guys to ever play.

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.

I'm still seeing the LB poll, but when I can vote it will be for Mann. He was a complete player. Manley got the headlines and was flashier, but give me Mann any day.

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
