Best Ever Series: OUTSIDE LINEBACKER

I don't see how Olkewicz didn't win MLB. I missed that poll.

One vote for OLB has to be Hanburger; 9 Pro Bowls, 5 1st Team All-Pro selections, all as a Redskin. Harvey would be second, 4 Consecutive Pro Bowls as a Redskin. Marshall was a dynamic player, but only five years here and 1 Pro Bowl. Arrington - negatives outweigh positives. He gets a -1 from me too.

With any poll it's completely subjective, but if we're voting for best all-time Redskin, a player's production in B & G should only be considered IMO.

You make a valid point. Both Hanburger and Marshall were great players as Redskins but Chris was here longer and did more in B&G. Chris Hanburger should get the nod but he probably won't because only old farts like me saw him play.

I'm going to have to go with Wilber on this one. I can't tell you how many games as a kid I'd scream out "WIIIIILLLLLLLBEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR" after an awesome stop. Was a tough poll because I loved Monte Coleman as well, but Marshall was one of my favorite players.

Wasn't around to see Hanburger but all of those Pro Bowls speak for something.
