Throwback

Who on the current Redskins roster would be a starter on that team?

Scherff over RC Thielmann and Hopkins over Zendejas are the only sure things IMO.

Love TW but 86 Jacoby is better than 2019 Trent.

Place kickers and punters are usually an after thought on teams that have good offenses. I am a transplant Redskin fan since I moved east in 2011. I left my 40 years of 49er fandom in Cali when I left. I used to go to a couple 49er fan websites. Most the older guys like me (Late 50's on up) could not name one of the place kickers or punters on the 80's teams.

naw...I love some Jacoby...But a healthy TW is a load and is an amazing athlete.

Silverback > Jacoby

I'm curious how people would rank:

Jacoby - Samuels - Trent

MAN...to be honest we've had some damn good tackles.

I like Trent over both, but Samuels and Jacoby are a toss up, probably lean Jacoby

Trent is a physical freak and when healthy is the best athlete on the field.

He is the 1% of the 1%.

I am not sure the comparison is fair. They are both very different.
Jacoby was 6'7" 325 at a time very few were that big.
Plus he had the footspeed to pull on the counter trey like nobody else that size.
Jacoby used to battle one on one with Lawrence Taylor, Reggie White and Ed too Tall Jones twice a year.
I am not sure there is anyone in the NFC east right now that is as good as Lawrence Taylor and Reggie White.
When both are healthy TW is maybe a little better than Jacoby, but TW has had some knee problems that have made him miss some time and makes him susceptible to injury. Jacoby did not.
It is very close.

Glad you mentioned this. Jacoby was just so far ahead of his time. He's a HOF player, Trent I'm not so sure. I think Trent gets hurt cause he plays on so so teams. On top of that the quality of the defenses that Jacoby played against were 2nd to none. People may not remember but the Eagles literally had some of the best defenses ever back in those days. Truly great defenses. We all know about the Giants cause they won a couple SB's.

To add, Jacoby played against the famed Bears 85-86 defense, Cowboys Doomsday defenses, , 49ers Montana and Young teams. Before salary cap the top teams were better and deeper than today.
There were Dynasty teams and there were multiple multiple dynasty teams. Teams stayed together. Look at the Patroits and Eagles championship teams from last two year already lost players.

I can’t argue against that...but the way TW gets out in space at second level or contorts to reach a blocker in small spaces...doing that at his size. It’s kray
