Lubeck Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Pretty sure they do. And all of those you listed deserve entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echochamber Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I can already envision Favre & Strahan cracking jokes about the sack record, and Sapp looking all pissed off in the background. it will be a great day in Canton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at that list VG, it would be hard not to include them all, that's I said earlier that McNair, who would also be on the ballot, will get left off that list. Of those 5, you have to include Ogden and Larry Allen. Think about it, if Strahan is a shoo in, how can you not include Allen who Strahan had little success against. If for some reason you had to leave one of those guys off, it would be Sapp. I'm not as high on Sapp, and I think his years in Oakland really hurt him. Larry Allen was supposed to be finished in Dallas and then went to San Fran and went to the pro bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of the best Offensive linemen ever. 2 of the best defensive linemen ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably didn't meet up much. I can't think of any RT who ever consistently gave Strahan a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boohyah Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Add Seau to that list? I don't think so. I think Seau will play one more year even if it's just holding for field goals, he wants that ring and he's the best player out there that hasn't done so. He will however, have to play for the Giants this year to win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take back my previous comment. it definately would be worth it to see seau leave a team that *almost went undefeated and come to the Giants and actually win the super bowl.
