Pulling Out the Scrapbook

Some guys in the media are pulling out the scrapbooks on Old School Washington Football. I can't blame them. There is no real hard evidence on what the Commanders will be this season until September. You get tired of speculating, though some of it is fun.

They were trying to rummage up the Five Most Iconic Plays in Redskin History. Here are a few they were speaking of:

1. Number One was Riggo's Romp.

2. Number Two Darryl Grant taking a pick in for a touchdown against Dallas in the NFC Championship Game.

3. Number Three was Darrell Green jumping out of his rib cage in Chicago.

I lost track after that. Guess I'll conjure up a few more.

4. Charley Taylor's TD Catch against Dallas in the NFC Championship game.

5. Darrell Green's stop against Minnesota. Without Darrell Green, that's a Viking touchdown.

Of course, Santana Moss made TWO ICONIC plays not just one.

It's these guys the whole nickname thing is trying to connect to. It is going to be hard for fans today to remember the Founders, so to speak. The New Owners want the passion back. Just changing the nickname won't do that.

These young fellas today got to start doing it. That's the only thing gets the mojo back in butts to sit in seats and rock stadiums. 

But us geezers who lived through that 70s, 80s, early 90s era we're not in danger of forgetting the guys who put football on the map in D.C. 

I have no doubt that if they start winning these young Washingtonians will go as nuts as we did back in the day.
