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.

I vote for Flanders
And Charles Mann, one of my favorite people. Extremely underrated player. And the guy who helped get us Tony McGee to be a regular contributor on the Warpath

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.

My vote is for Charles Mann. Put up very good sack totals from LDE. Complete LDEs who can rush the passer and shut down the run are few and far between. Great team leader also. 4 Pro Bowls, 2 SBs. Manley, while putting up dynamic sack totals for a 4 year stint, only reached 1 Pro Bowl. While not suspect against the run, wasn't as consistent or solid as Mann. Brito earned 5 Pro Bowls and 3 All-Pros, but tackle and sack numbers weren't kept back then and I've never heard of him prior to this poll.

Since a team needs two defensive ends, let me vote for Charles Mann and Gene Brito.
Charles Mann needs no introduction to the folks here. Gene Brito may need some introduction...
Here is a stat on Brito that was given to me by a pro football writer whose work has been recognized by the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton:
Gene Brito was never called for a 15-yard penalty in his entire career in the NFL. [Back then; all penalties were 5 yards or 15 yards or "spot of the foul".]
He played 6 or 7 years with the Skins in the 1950s and then played for the Rams for another year - - maybe another 2 years? He died back in the 60s at a very early age.
In his 6 or 7 years with Washington, he went to the Pro Bowl 5 times.
He also played tight end for the Redskins.
