A quick question...

...with all the talk of us loosing Smoot it got me to thinking. When was the last time we had a pair of standout CBs. We always seem to have one great CB and one either getting there or past it.

One thing I always remember about Green being here were we seemed to perpetually looking for another guy on the other corner. I rememer us having some other good guys here I just cannot remember thier names . I seem to recall Mark Mayhew but not sure if he played CB or if he was any good...also was it Chris Dishman who used to partner Green just before we drafted Bailey? Was it him who was crying in the locker room because he realised he didn't physically have it in him to play the game anymore?

Smoot and Bailey were sick last year and Springs and Smoot were sick this year. I have thought that the last 2 years we have had standout corners.

I think you mean Martin Mayhew, and yes he played CB. I think now he's like the player personnel director (or something like that) with the Lions

And yes, I think you're right about Dishman crying that he had suddenly lost it. It was kind of sad actually because he was really good when he came here but things just fell apart

That's right in 96' he was a pro bowl caliber CB. Then in 97' He sucked! I have never seen someone loose there ablitiy so fast. It was sad,for our team :banghead: and Dishman. :doh:

Well, until Mark Brunell perhaps.

Hahaha...nice one.

Dishman had one good season with us in '97, but didn't he move on somewhere else and actually play ok for a season or two?

Didn't Alvin Walton play Corner opposite of Green? Or maybe he was safety. I remember him being pretty decent.....

Alvin Walton was a safety

Dishman I believe played a year with the Vikings and then the Chiefs after leaving Washington

Alvin Walton was a safety. His tackling style involved sticking his head down and trying to spear the other team's players, which is probably enough to make him my favorite player in Redskins history.
