[quote=GridIron26;1375293]One DT from Gibbs 2.0, his last name is Griffin. I cannot remember his first name.[/quote]The 2004 Washington defense was great and had some dudes on it. Griffin, Taylor, M. Washington, Shawn Springs etc. Very fun and good defense.

Re: Underrated Redskins Players
 

Shawn Springs was a solid Redskin. Glad to see multiple people reference him.

I'm a little bias because I'm also a Noles fan, but Chris Thompson was a very good player for us when healthy. Very similar to Jordan Reed. Very good when healthy, but not healthy very often.

Speaking of RB’s Joe Washington. Loved that guy.

Lohmiller. (Off the stone guy.)

Yep CT was a gem and Gruden knew how to utilize him very well

Re: Underrated Redskins Players
 

that gibbs 2.0 D was very good without having any pass real rush (good cover corners and run stuffing line) as an example that it can be done. Though they did let you hit the qb more back then.

Re: Underrated Redskins Players
 

Antonio Pierce was another dude on that 2004 defense also. Loved watching him play. Wish things would have worked out better for him at Vegas.

Re: Underrated Redskins Players
 

Mark Schlreth 10th round pick, yes the draft had 12 rounds back then.
Raeigh McKenzie 11th round pick
Joe Jacoby undrafted.
Jeff Bostic undrafted. Only Clemson player to win 3 super bowls.
Monte Coleman 11th round pick.

GM Bobby Beathard was underrated. One of the best.

[quote=That Guy;1375254]drew brees was the one that got away. Danny could've gotten him. Of all the times to go cheap. Ryan Clark was also danny being cheap at the wrong time.

Alex smith was, imo, a great signing. the knee thing kind of wrecked it all, but that was such a high value/low cost pick up at the time. Shawn springs played way above cost until he couldn't stay on the field, but the first 2-3 years, he was aces.

mike sellers was a real dude. Remeber when fullbacks were still a thing?[/quote]

I believe this happened during Gibbs 2.0 and we ended up with Mark Brunell.

The funny thing is that that the Dolphins almost got Brees as well, but opted for Daunte Culpepper. Brees was coming off a bad shoulder injury and the only team that took a chance on him was New Orleans, and the rest was history.

Brees' book explained this situation. The book is really good, I would recommend any football fans to read the book.

For me, Alvin Walton. That Mohican and he loved to hit.
