The V2 Hogs
|
| Many people feel that despite some different members, the offensive line that rolled the Redskins into Super Bowl XXVI wore the name Hog deservedly. Jacoby was still at right tackle, Bostic was still starting at center, and Grimm was now a reserve. Jim Lachey took Starke's spot at left tackle, Raleigh McKenzie was at left guard, and Mark Schlereth was at right guard. |
 | Jim Lachey
Left Tackle, # 79, 1988-1995
Acquired from the Raiders in 1988 in the Jay Schroeder trade, Lachey's injuries are all that kept him from being legendary. |
 | Raleigh McKenzie
Left Guard, # 63, 1985-1994
McKenzie personified diversity and played every position on the offensive line. |
 | Mark Schlereth
Right Guard, # 69, 1989-1994
'Stinky' holds the distinction of being one of the most operated on players in NFL history. |
