Redskins Best Ever Defensive Tackle

No brainer...DAVE BUTZ. That dude was a man amongst boys. Totally dominant. I hope Albert Haynesworth is that type of player for the Skins. If so, the Skins defense will be the best in the league.


. . . and his helmut showed that no one battled more intensively at the line of scrimmage than he did. That helmut deserves its own place in the HOF.

Butz with Hayneworth taking second

I am not getting the C. Griffin hate going on though.

I agree Griff deserves a mention.

It's not hate for Griffin. He's a good player, no doubt.

But to be in the running for the best defensive tackle in the history of the Washington Redskins? Not a chance in hell.

Can someone give me a more modern equivalent for Dave Butz? Like who most resembles Butz from the last nine years?

perhaps Tony Siragusa (Ravens)


my vote is Butz as well...6'7" and well over 300. he just caved in the opposing OL...

I was thinking Haynesworth may be the closest DT we've had to Butz. Butz could do it all, including sacking the QB. If AH can have the impact Butz had, I'll be one happy camper.

I like Dave Butz and I cannot lie, other fans cannot deny...Sorry I got carried away.

Dave Butz was a Warren Sapp and the man played forever. Truly a 'Skin Hall of Famer and with Diron Talbert a close second.

Correction: Warren Sapp was a Dave Butz. Butz was the first huge DT in football and the one to set the standard to today's DT's. When George Allen got him from the Cards it was huge.

Butz.

For one year wonders how about Sean Gilbert and Daryl Gardener?

I was also going to mention Daryl Gardener who came from the Dolphins. He was a beast for the season we had him. He was playing for a new contract but he had some back issues. Denver signed him after the 1 monster season and he never played for them cause his back was injured again. We did do something smart by not resigning him for big money.
