Before we kick this off, I decided to change up the condition that the Redskin player had to wear the Seahwaks jersey before coming to Washington. Otherwise, the contest is over with Mark Rypien's cup of coffee in Seattle in 2002.
Current Redskins: Josh Wilson, Sean Locklear, Tyler Polumbus
In no particular order:
- Shawn Springs - Drafted and played 7 years in Seattle before signing with the Skins where he had 12 career INTs.
- Phillip Daniels - 4th round pick by SEA in 1996. Played four years for them, then 4 years for the Bears, and then 6 years for the Redskins. (8 sacks in 2005)
- Jim Zorn - I'm not going to even go there. This picture sums up his head coaching career nicely.
- Shaun Alexander - 4 games, 11 carries, 2.2 yards. To his defense, he was signed when Ladell Betts when down.
- Ryan Plackemeier - 7th round pick was only known for "muffin-top" here in D.C. He was horrible.
- Joey Galloway - I'm not going to go there. I still feel sorry for Gary Clark that his number was disgraced like that.
- Mike Tice was actually drafted by the Hawks in 1981 and played 8 years for them before playing one year with the Redskins in 1989 then went back to SEA.
- Pete Kendall - He'll forever be remembered for that fumble vs the Rams.
- D.J. Hackett - Signed by the Redskins when they cut Roydell Williams in August of 2009. DJ was cut 4 months later.
- Andy Heck - 1989 1st round pick for the Hawks played Tackle for the Skins for two years in 1999-2000.
- Fendi Onobun (Tight End practice squad this year)
- Clint Stitser - Kicker Skins brought in this year to test Gano.

Philip Daniels. easy.
PS- In case I don’t get a chance later, Happy Thanksgiving to the whole Hogs Haven community!
i agree
daniels produced on the field and was such a strong locker room presence. A true redskin. I did like shawn springs (whenever he was healthy). I remember it was either his first or second year with us that he led the team in sacks and interceptions.
As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.
*Socrates*
and actually drafted by Shanny
I did feel like I was missing one. Thanks, added.

Are you saying he's as good as Heck was?
Actually, Heck was the worst starting olineman on the team that year. To me its a question of longevity vs. impact. Daniels played longer, but Springs wins by impact. When he was healthy, he may have been the best player on defense. He was the reason losing Bailey was softened for me.He was almost as good as Bailey in coverage and was better than Bailey in covering the run. Too bad he succumbed to injuries because he was such a great player.

Should this be a poll?
Either way, I’d go Phillip Daniels
Follow me on Twitter: @UkRedskin1 feel free to give suggestions on what you'd like to see broken down each week.
It should be one of those joke polls
where the only option is Phillip Daniels

Yea, I thought about it.
Poll with: PDaniels, Springs, and Plackemeier…but all the trolls would vote Plackemeier…heck, Parks probably would too.
Yea, it’s clearly PD.

Springs. Easy.
Love Uncle Phil, but Springs was a top player for us.
Would love a CB like him on the squad now, shutting down big WRs and slot guys alike.

Agree, the obvious answer is Springs.
Daniels should have been nothing more than a rotational guy here, but as with the OL, they were allergic to drafting DL.
@Callahan_9 on the twitter machine.
Yeah only in DC can a backup achieve legendary starter status. Springs was actually a good player when he was healthy for his 4 games per year.
When Gaffney drops the ball I blame Kyle. When Jammal Brown doesn't block I blame Kyle. When Barnes dives out a guys ankles and misses I blame Kyle.

Gotta go Springs.
Daniels is a close second.
And of course, Ryp is the guy the other way, followed (not so closely, but clearly #2) by Vernon Dean.
No Danny, Nooooooo - Tom Landry, 1982., and Washington Redskins fans, 1999-
Springs.....
he played consistently and at a strong level for us at a rough position! PD is close….but I think Springs has an overall better body of work and had a larger effect on the team as a whole!
At least "WE ARE" not Penn State!!!
Shawn Springs
Dude was a pretty good corner for a while. Philip Daniels was an amazing working, great athlete, great run stopping DE, but I just give the edge to Springs.
Springs shutting down T.O.
puts him at the top for me. Springs was the perfect combination of size, strength and speed. If only he had taken better care of himself, he might have made the Ring of Fame.
Stay Frosty & Watch your Six.
When I think TO vs. Springs I think
of TO grabbing four TD’s in a game. November 2007
That was right after Ron Springs went into the hospital
Shawn shouldn’t have even been in that game. They played each other many times over their careers and both players had their moments. I remember Shawn frustrating the hell out of T.O. by jamming him at the LOS and interrupting his routes, basically showcasing to the league how to stop him.
Stay Frosty & Watch your Six.
Jim Zorn!
He will end with a better record then Shanahan.
He also tried his best to help JC.
agreed
I don’t blame Zorn for any of those 2 years he was head coach, because he shouldn’t have been put into that position to begin with. What did you expect him to do, turn down the job? I blame Snyderatto.

You forgot Rusty Tillman
Played for the Skins for seven years. Although not a player for the Seahawks he went there as special Teams coach.

I'll take Springs
Daniels wouldn’t have started on most teams. Not saying he wasn’t valuable, but he should’ve been a third DE. Springs was more than a legit starter. For awhile, he was the best player we had on defense. Unfortunately, he was injury prone, which I think is what has him lower on some people’s list. Had he been able to stay healthy more often, he would’ve made people completely forget about Champ Bailey. As it is, he did make me forget about him.
Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City "Sailor wanna hump-hump" bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
