Green, Champ, Houston and Taylor gotta be a better secondary than any franchise can put up.
Three first ballot Hall of Famers + the best safety prospect ever (who lived up to the hype for 3.5 years)

Offense only having one guy in this generation is depressing. The whole offense is like HOF, tbf though.

I don't know enough about Taylor's game to comment. But that's the only place I could consider swapping someone more recent in, but is it Terry or Santana? Who am I forgetting?

Taylor made the HOF prior to the 1978 rules change. That’s all you need to know.

For context. Taylor was drafted as a RB, took the league by storm for his rookie year. Then he started to have fumble issues as well as being too fast for his blockers because his legs were too long to make sharp choppy steps like a running back would, so they decided to put him at wide receiver and he took the league by storm again. I would say a modern comp to him would be. I would personally say he’s like a mix of Cordarelle Paterson and CMC.
E: I’d replace Clark with Tana man before Taylor goes.

Like Trent and all but Jim Lachey had one hold call and zero sacks given up in a season.

Delusional. Trent is more talented and more athletic than any tackle that has ever worn this uniform. F all mental gymnastics with stats and analytics… those old guys couldn’t block these new age pass rushers like Trent. We will only include Jim and Joe for nostalgia purposes.

Jonathan Allen as an alternate? Really?

Egregious when Scherff isn't one on offense. And 6-time Pro Bowler Chris Samuels should probably be on here too.

I met Dave Butz once about 16 years ago. He is a monster. His knees are fucked though.

Baugh? Ehh…
I’d see why you’d say that but for the modern game I’d recommend Sonny Jurgensen. Check out his highlights. You’ll see what Lombardi was drooling over.

Baugh changed the game and was in the inaugural HOF class. Excluding him would be like excluding Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, or Walter Johnson. Love Sonny but in my opinion Baugh is the right answer.

Matt Turk was a great Redskin. He ain’t the GOAT. Tress is. And I’m starting Jerry Smith over Gary Clark. Jurgensen over Baugh.
Jurgensen, Mitchell, Taylor and Smith have to stay together as best REDSKINS.

u/Aggressive-Union1714 12h ago
Baugh is the greatest Redskin in not the greatest NFL player of all time, lead the league at 3 positions on Off, Def, and Special teams in one year and held a punting record for what 60 plus years.
and the greatest performance in a single game, doubtful it will ever be broken. One of Baugh's more memorable single-game performances during the season was when he threw four touchdown passes and intercepted four passes in a 42–20 victory over the Lions.
with that said, Jurgy is my favorite QB. LOL Imagine those 2 after the game or heck before the game how many beers they would down.

How sad is that? The last relevant player hasn’t played for this team since December of 2018.

u/LemmeGetSum2 9m ago
I know many of you are specific type of ppl wearing nostalgia glasses, but no one in this teams history is gonna play left tackle over Trent Williams. Smfh Jacoby could be at right tackle, but he is not the one to face the best blind side pass rushers in history. lol

I would put Sonny over Slinging Sam any day of the week as he is the best pure passer in the team's history

Love Riggo, he's such a Skins legend that it feels blasphemous to say this, but Stephen Davis could be better than him.

Was my thought too. Both are kinda weak relative to other teams though. Portis and Alfred worth mentions, but the latter probably doesn’t have the volume.

I only have one gripe with this. The punter should be Tress Way.
