R.I.P. Russ Washington, 74

Easily and without a doubt the best Chargers offensive line group ever and Washington so far is the best tackle ever. Just eliminated pass rushers.

I agree. The best offensive line in the Bolts' history. I will also agree that Russ Washington was the best right tackle the Chargers ever had. I'll qualify that by saying HOF inductee, Ron Mix, was the best left tackle. There's no reason to even try to compare the two. Both were exceptional at their positions. I still can't believe Mix only had two holding calls in his career.

RIP Big Russ.

Damn. I missed this yesterday. Hard to lose one of the Chargers' all-time greats.

Good call on MIx, Roo and Geezbolt. Shame on me for forgetting him! Maybe in my brain I did it because I remember him playing guard (at an all pro level BTW) for a few years. Mix was also (reportedly) one of the smartest men to ever play for the Chargers.
