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.

[quote=53Fan;564087]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.

Re: Redskins Best Ever Series: DEFENSIVE END
 

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.

[quote=Mattyk72;564073]I'm still seeing the LB poll, but when I can vote it will be for Mann. He was a complete player. [B]Manley got the headlines and was flashier[/B], but give me Mann any day.[/quote]

Wasn't just headlines and flash. Dexter's 90+ sacks still rank the most among any man who wore the burgundy and gold.

Re: Redskins Best Ever Series: DEFENSIVE END
 

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

Manley was a heck of a pass rusher no doubt, but he wasn't as stout against the run as Mann was. And Mann was a pretty good pass rusher himself.

Re: Redskins Best Ever Series: DEFENSIVE END
 

Dexter Manley and Charles Mann was the best pair of Washington Redskin defensive ends. Maybe the best defensive end pair of all time.

Re: Redskins Best Ever Series: DEFENSIVE END
 

Dexter Manley. He was the one other teams feared most.

Charles Mann was also an outstanding DE.

Re: Redskins Best Ever Series: DEFENSIVE END
 

Its really close between Mann and Manley. Charles is a class act and Dexter had his drug addiction and prison. I would have to with total body of work with Charles Mann.

Didn't Deacon Jones and Coy Bacon play for the Redskins back in the day?

Re: Redskins Best Ever Series: DEFENSIVE END
 

I voted Charles "Hungry" Mann, he was always there when you needed him from what I can remember.

Re: Redskins Best Ever Series: DEFENSIVE END
 

stats?

Re: Redskins Best Ever Series: DEFENSIVE END
 

Dexter won? Wow. I mean, I did vote for him and made a tiny case for him on the thread, but I thought Mann was the direction most were going in--in fact, he seemed to have a good lead on Dexter when I voted.

Atta boy, Dexter.

Osi and Strahan would beg to differ with that. But they were good.

They......flat-assed scared offenses. Manley had a way of whipping the Defense into a frenzy. It became like a swarming....Juggernaut

Re: Redskins Best Ever Series: DEFENSIVE END
 

Just watched the '87 and the '91 skins on NFL network. Both great shows. They said Mann had a 28" waist. The man looked lean, but WOW!
