As the Redskins coaching search drags on in secrecy, we at The Redskin Report turn our attention to something even more frustrating for Washington Redskins fans – the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Despite winning three Super Bowls in Joe Gibbs’ first tenure, the Redskins have exactly one player (John Riggins) represented in the Hall of Fame from that period. So in an effort to right this great injustice, over the next two weeks, we will present the case for the three Redskin players among the finalists for this year’s Hall of Fame vote. Here’s our schedule:
Wednesday (tomorrow) – Reposting of the 4 part case for Art Monk originally published in 2006
Friday Jan 25th – Art Monk vs Cris Carter (I’m curious to see how this comes out)
Monday Jan 28th – The Case for Russ Grimm
Wednesday Jan 30th – The Case for Darrell Green (I promise this article will contain more than just ‘duh’)

Oh come now Lee, Darrell truly is a “Duh!” kind of post; it’s MORE than a no-brainer, it’s a Brainectomy for someone to not vote him in; he’s widely acknowledged to be the greatest Cornerback of All Time.
And if that doesn’t work, just link to the clip of the Rookie, number 28, running down Tony Dorsett on Monday Night Football…. I remember that day, and thinking “Oh my! Looks like we’ve got a barnburner in the guy!”
