Shaq Thompson, Steve Emtman and cannot forget Lawyer Milloy.

Dashon Goldson,Desmond Trufant and Marcus Peterson honorable mention. Also before my time but Red Badgro is a HoF DE.

I would be curious to how Race, DJ, and others around in the 80's would rank some of the players. I would have to imagine Reggie Rodgers, Ron Holmes, and Joe Kelly would rank very high.

Shaq being anywhere on there is ridiculous. As a college player Mason Foster had a better career. The 2010 team would have went 3-9 or 4-8 without Foster. He was pretty much the only guy worth a shit that we lost off the defense from the 2010 team and we saw how bad the 2011 defense was.

Trufant doesn't belong. It's too bad he had to play under Sark and Holt, but he wasn't even legitimately good until his senior year. A buddy that I used to watch the games with absolutely hated Trufant. I always defended him, but I remember it being kind of tough sometimes.

Where these players are drafted and their NFL careers cloud judgment. Nobody could convince me that Shaq was a better player as a Husky than Jason Chorak.

Lol at Goldson. Another guy where it's a bummer he played on shit teams, but he wasn't even really good at UW. I remember him being hurt quite a bit too.

Peters is one of the most talented players to ever play at UW. He only played 2.5 seasons though. Kikaha had a great career and would probably make my list.

I'm one of the few here that feel this way, but Danny Shelton was an overrated Husky. I liked him, but he parlayed 8 sacks against the sisters of the poor into millions. Kind of like Trufant, he only had one really good season. He was an above average/pretty good player before that. Imo, Tripplett was a better DT for the Dawgs. They are different players, but sub Danny Shelton for Tripplett against Miami and I'm not sure we win that game. We for sure don't win the next game against Colorado.

These kind of lists are fucking hard.

There's Stan Emptermann at #1 and then there's everyone else.

I agree that Shaq, Trufant, Goldson, Shelton and Peters don't make a top 10 list of all-time Husky defensive players.

That guy probably thinks Marcel Reece is a top 3 offensive player too. FTG.

lol at Trufant. Had to be a whoosh unless it was krisvashon.

Not sure about Shelton. Guy was pretty fucking good, and Washington isn't exactly D line U.

If you're just going by d line he's up there.

I mean he's not even close to Tank Johnson.

There was 30 to 40 years where they rolled out defensive players like an assembly line going back to Owens . If I pick 3 I doubt any of them are past 1991

3 best UW defensive players of all time?

I had to go a ways back but I came up with

1) Shaq Thompson
2) Buddha Baker
3) Camilo Eifler

haie

Shaq shouldn't even have been playing defense his last year at UW.

Dumbshit Reddit doog. It's Marcus Petersen, not Peterson.

RaceBannon

Victor Azeem, Buddah Baker, and Long Neck

DerekJohnson

Based on my experience I would say:

1. Stan Emptermanan
2. Ronnie Holmes
3. Michael Jackson

Honorable Mention: Dave Hoffmann, Reggie Rogers and Doug Martin

I would like to hear @RaceBannon's take on Rick Redman since he saw him play.

Wasn't Johnson more of a 3-technique? I don't recall exactly what kind of defense the Huskies were running under Neuheisel.

Rick Redman was always the star of the Varsity Alumni game as an Alum. Good NFL player, he would punt at the spring game. Redman was a consensus All American. That is the minimum requirement in my book

LOL

Emtman is obvious. Milloy is debatably outside the top 3, but not far outside.

The rest of those names?

Emtman Rogers Peters

In my lifetime, it has to be Milloy, Emtman, and Kikaha.

There was a serious 20 year gap without any decent defensive players. Larry Tripplet, Chorak, Shelton, and Peters are on the outside looking in.

Edit: Jeremiah Pharms was pretty scary too.

You'd piss yourself to be half as good as Pharms.
