Charles Mann vs. Sam Huff
Advantage: Mann
As was pointed out by many of you during the Huff-Hanburger matchup in the first round, many of Huff's greatest accomplishments came when he was with the Giants. While Mann did play with the 49ers at the end of his career, he still had his best years in Washington. The edge here goes to Mann because of his contributions to a pair of Redskins championship teams.

It's absurd that Huff has made it this far- as someone else noted, voting for Huff here is like voting for Art Monk on a list of all-time greatest Jets. Mann may not have been one of the greatest DEs of his era, but he was a great leader and great contributor to the first Gibbs era. In other words, he may not have been a Hall of Famer, but he was a great Redskin. Mann by a mile!

mann over Manley. No way!!!!! But I am just glad my 2 favorite Redskins are facing off in the final round. Green and Monk. I am not sure they are the greatest Skins, but they sure are great people.

What bonehead put this list together? Mann certainly deserves "nicest" Redskin but if Gibbs had lost him in '82 he wouldn't have cried as much as if he'd lost ANY of the Hogs. or Warren. Or Walker. Or, for Heaven's sake, Joe Washington! The team just didn't live or die on the play of its defensive line. Mann played in a 4-3, meaning he had 25% more help on the line than most DE's get. The problem is neither guy in this bracket should beat any number of Skins including the fellas I mentioned and plenty more.
