Or maybe an audible if ye be of an offense frame of mind.As for the senior old boys Well if they clawed their way out of the deep, dark seniors pool they deserve to get in the Hall.Here we go for a quick audible.? Quarterbacks? Ken Anderson, Randall Cunningham, Boomer Esiason, Rich Gannon, Jim Plunkett, Phil Simms, Joe Theismann, Danny White, Doug Williams? Pass on the passers. I'd say no one in this group makes it unless they get lucky and roll into the final ballot because splintered voting on other players cancel each other other out.The best of the bunch Ken Anderson and Jim Plunkett and his pair of rings.The worst of the bunch: Danny White, Rich Gannon, and Boomer Esiason.The injuries or other things stole my Hall pass bunch. Phil Simms might have made it if he had won that second ring. Roger Craig was a great back on one of the best teams ever, why isn't he in alreadyThe worst of the bunch Leroy Hoard Really Eric Metcalf is not even the best Metcalf not in the Hall.Mike Pruitt What about GregThe odd ball of the bunch If Ricky Waters had played a few more years he would have made it. Not now.Smith is a lock and either Davis or Craig will grab a spot, everyone else is a long shot.? Wide receivers? Cliff Branch, Tim Brown,? Cris Carter, Gary Clark, Henry Ellard, Irving Fryar, Roy Green, Herman Moore, Stanley Morgan, Andre Reed, Jerry Rice,? Sterling Sharpe? Rice like Smith is a sure thing. But the rest of the wide reciever corps is a big backlog.The best of the bunch after RiceCris Carter has come so close and might make it this year.

Henry Ellard has great numbers and Roy Green played great when the game was very different for wide outs.And then there's Andre Reed, a great player on a great team.The live long shot How about Sterling Sharpe and hisinjury shortened careerWhat about Tim Brown See what I mean about the back logThe worst of the bunch Herman Moore seemed a good but not great player.The best shot Rice and Carter.? Tight ends? Mark Bavaro, Todd Christensen, Ben Coates, Russ Francis, Shannon Sharpe, Frank Wycheck? Shannon Sharpe came close and will be pushed ahead again.Todd Christensen was a great player and could sneak in but Sharpe is likely the next tight end up.The worst of the bunch Wycheck was a solid player but a Hall of famer? Offensive linemen? Tony Boselli, Lomas Brown, Jim Covert, Dermontti Dawson, Russ Grimm, Jay Hilgenberg, Chris Hinton, Kent Hull, Joe Jacoby, Mike Kenn, Jim Lachey, Max Montoya, Korey Stringer, Steve Wisniewski? Why aren't any Hogs in the Hall They ought to put them in as a unit.Winsniewki and Dawson have many pro bowls piled on their resumes.And Hilgenberg and Covert anchored those great lines of the eighties that plowed the way for Payton.Mike Kenn was a monster of a pass blocker.The worst of the bunch Korey Stringer. He had a tragic ending but he was not a hall of fame player.Best shotHow about a Hog Grimm has the best shot.? Defensive linemen? Al “Bubba” Baker, Ray Childress, Richard Dent, Chris Doleman, Charles Haley, Ed “Too Tall” Jones, Cortez Kennedy, Joe Klecko, Dexter Manley, Charles Mann, Steve McMichael, Leslie O’Neal, Michael Dean Perry, John Randle, Clyde Simmons, Fred Smerlas? Richard Dent should already be in.I do not know why Joe Klecko gets so little support but with his main man, Paul Zimmerman, off thecommittee it seems like he will still be stuck in limbo.Cortez Kennedy and John Randle almost made the Hall call last year so they both have strong shots. Chris Doleman was a sack machine for a long time.If Charles Haley was not such a weirdo he would have had a better shot.Longest shot Leslie O'Neal a good player not a great one, especially with all the sack men back logged.Best shot Richard Dent, throw the Bear a bone already.? Linebackers? Cornelius Bennett, Matt Blair, Kevin Greene, Ken Harvey, Rickey Jackson, Rod Martin, Clay Matthews, Karl Mecklenburg, Sam Mills, Hardy Nickerson, Chris Spielman, Pat Swilling, Darryl Talley? Best of the bunch Kevin Greene was a sack machine.All the old Saints were great players and might split the vote I'd take Ricky Jackson out of all the Saints linebackers. Like Doleman and Dent he got a late career ring in San Francisco.Longest shots Darrly Talley. If a linebacker gets knocked out in a nightclub by a basketball players bodyguard a few days before the Super Bowl he loses his Hall pass.Spielman was a run stuffer mostly. And how does old Viking Matt Blair go in and not Jim MarshallAndspeaking of Marshalls where's Wilbur Marshall on the linebacker list? Defensive backs? Eric Allen, Steve Atwater, Joey Browner, LeRoy Butler, Raymond Clayborn, Kenny Easley, Lester Hayes, Carnell Lake, Albert Lewis, Frank Minnifield, Donnie Shell,? Aeneas Williams, Darren Woodson, Louis Wright? Best of the bunch Lester! Lester! Lester! Why don't they like LesterLouie Wright was a great old Bronco and Aeneas Williams was a? great player on a very bad team.Longest shot Donnie Shell How many Super Bowl Steelers do they need What about Jack Tatum? Kickers/punters? Gary Anderson, Ray Guy, Nick Lowery, Reggie RobyRay Guy always seems to have the best shot but always gets his Hall punt blocked.Longest shot Nick Lowery? Special teams? Steve TaskerIt will be tough for a special teams guy to sneak in.? Coaches? Bill Arnsparger, Don Coryell, Tom Flores, Jimmy Johnson, Chuck Knox, Buddy Parker, A.O.
