updating the other HOF thread. DT is still on, and yes, I hope we get a good presenter this year too. 58 forever!
http://www.profootballhof.com/hof/st...?story_id=2285 Listed alphabetically, the 17 finalists with their positions, teams, and years active follow: Fred Dean - Defensive End - 1975-1981 San Diego Chargers, 1981-1985 San Francisco 49ers Richard Dent - Defensive End - 1983-1993, 1995 Chicago Bears, 1994 San Francisco 49ers, 1996 Indianapolis Colts, 1997 Philadelphia Eagles Russ Grimm - Guard - 1981-1991 Washington Redskins Ray Guy - Punter - 1973-1986 Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders Gene Hickerson - Guard - 1958-1973 Cleveland Browns Michael Irvin - Wide Receiver - 1988-1999 Dallas Cowboys Bob Kuechenberg - Guard - 1970-1984 Miami Dolphins Bruce Matthews - Guard, Tackle, Center - 1983-2001 Houston Oilers/Tennessee Oilers/Titans Art Monk - Wide Receiver - 1980-1993 Washington Redskins, 1994 New York Jets, 1995 Philadelphia Eagles Andre Reed - Wide Receiver - 1985-1999 Buffalo Bills, 2000 Washington Redskins Charlie Sanders - Tight End - 1968-1977 Detroit Lions Paul Tagliabue - NFL Commissioner - 1989-2006 Derrick Thomas - Linebacker - 1989-1999 Kansas City Chiefs Thurman Thomas - Running Back - 1988-1999 Buffalo Bills, 2000 Miami Dolphins Andre Tippett - Linebacker - 1982-1993 New England Patriots Roger Wehrli - Cornerback - 1969-1982 St. Louis Cardinals Gary Zimmerman - Tackle - 1986-1992 Minnesota Vikings, 1993-1997 Denver Broncos Dent, Grimm, Guy, Hickerson, Irvin, Kuechenberg, Monk, Derrick Thomas, Thurman Thomas, Wehrli, and Zimmerman have all been finalists in previous years. First to get cut - from the list of 25 (released in Nov) Terrell Davis - so quit talking about if he will make it this year, closet donkey fans Dermontti Dawson Randy Gradishar Kevin Greene Charles Haley Lester Hayes Randall McDaniel Art Modell Ken Stabler Charlie Sanders Gene Hickerson were added from senior members, they were not on the original 25. What is everyone's revised predictions? |

People counted DT out his whole life-doesn't surprise me that folks are still down on him. He should have been a first ballot HOFer if there ever was one.

Yeah, that's why he was passed over until the 4th overall pick of the draft... |

We all loved DT but i dont think he would have had 6 more 13 sack seasons. Maybe a few 10, but he was on the decline. HE was still fast, but you could see it in the last 2 years of him playing he wasnt the same guy.
Anyways, I hope he makes it this year. He certainly deserves it. |

I swear the attitude on this site is soooo wishy washy. how the hell do you compare his sack numbers to those of two DE? Am I missing something, and this isn't just directed at you kciv, I know you were commenting on what others were saying too. DT was a LB, he dropped into coverage, he got his hands on the ball, he disrupted the offensive flow, not just from the sack angle. Yet he was very succesful at that too. He was comparible to a Lawernce taylor, a beast that the Offense was worried about. He should make it this year, regardless of not being the sack leader, or needing 13 sacks in the final 6 years. I doubt that too, unless he was just pinning his ears back every down. but he would have had more to his numbers, because he was that good. HOF + DT = 2007. |
