    WASHINGTON REDSKINS 1975 - 1988
    ONE OF THE GREAT TRADES IN REDSKINS HISTORY & THE PRICE WAS ONLY TWO 1ST ROUND DRAFT PICKS & A SECOND ROUNDER. PART OF THE REASON WASHINGTON ONCE WENT 11 YEARS WITHOUT MAKING A FIRST ROUND DRAFT CHOICE. AND WELL WORTH IT.

    Dave Butz recently fought a battle with covid and had to be hospitalized and hooked up to a ventilator according to John Riggins on the John Riggins show, but thankfully he recovered and is doing well. Dave Butz has always been one of the toughest men in the NFL and in life! Hail to Dave Butz! Hail to the Redskins!

    I can't think of Mr. Butz without hearing John Madden calling him "BIG" Dave Butz during the games. In fact to me, it's become part of his name. R.I.P. Dave. You'll be missed, but never forgotten.

    I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years after he retired. He then was wearing his SB XXII ring on his middle finger, as he dropped weight to about 260. He told me that he took up carving duck decoys in order to stave off arthritis in his hands.

    DB was a beast on the field. I had the pleasure of seeing him play many times at old RFK stadium from the 70's into the 80's. Not many can play that position for that long. DB is an amazing athlete.

    @65TossTrap 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    The game up in New England 1978 is illustrative of what Butz could do. One minute to go. New England ahead and running the ball to kill the clock. They are on their own 30. Butz breaks through the line. Strips the ball. Dusek recovers and scores the winning TD.

    Contrary to what's going on now with our defense, Big Dave and Grant is the measuring stick in our history for inside duo and individuals. Dave will always be my favorite Tackle of all time. He didn't get enough notoriety but the memories.... he's a HOF'er in my book.

    @johnliberty3647 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Any notice how fast Butz was to wrap up legs and feet during his tackles. When I stopped watching football there was a lot less of that instinctive wrapping up the legs during a tackle. Everyone had the instinct to make a big hit though. I got sick of the big hits because players would celebrate them even after the offense got the first down. Game changed too much, had to stop watching.
