Re: Finalists for Hall of Fame's centennial class revealed
Re the OTs on the 80s all-decade team, one wonders why Jackie Slater and Mike Kenn didn’t get selected.

Re: Class of 2020 Centennial Hall of Fame Finalists
Boknows34, I’d also consider adding Jim Ray Smith, Duane Putnam, Dick Barwegen, Jimmy Patton, Dave Grayson, Bill Forester, Gene Brito, Mike Stratton, Ken Gray, Gale Gillingham, Abe Woodson, Art Powell, Riley Matheson, Tommy Davis, Billy Wilson, Tom Sestak, Earl Faison, George Kunz, Mark Gastineau, M...

Re: Class of 2020 Centennial Hall of Fame Finalists
Hmmm, good question. Maybe Chuck Howley, Billy Howton, Maxie Baughan, Del Shofner, and Jim Tyrer.rewing84 wrote:im curious bachs who would you replace sprinkle isbell covert nobis and craig with

Re: Class of 2020 Centennial Hall of Fame Finalists
Gotta say, this is pretty good news. All of Dilweg, Lewellen, Slater, Emerson, Wistert, and Speedie got through, which is the best possible outcome one could expect. Isbell and Sprinkle are pretty marginal and I wouldn't enshrine either, but it does suggest a really strong emphasis on getting in som...

Re: Fullbacks, Halfbacks, Running Backs?
I’m not sure there was a hard and fast rule at the time regarding which type of back carried the ball more. It was often a fullback, but there are exceptions. For example, in the NFL in 1961, the leading rushers for San Francisco (J.D. Smith), Chicago (Willie Galimore), Dallas (Don Perkins), St Loui...

Re: Rookie RBs w/1300 rushing yards; only 1000 yard season
Robert Edwards gained 1115 rushing yards in his rookie year (1998) with the Patriots, then blew out his knee in a Pro Bowl NFL flag football game at the end of the year. He only played one more season in the NFL four years later, gaining 107 yards. He also played three years in the CFL (2005-2007) b...

Re: Troy Polamalu VS Ed Reed
FWIW, Ed Reed (7/9/00s) also has better honors than Troy Polamalu (5/8/00s).

Re: odd careers in the 21st century
Terrelle Pryor has sure played for a lot of teams (5 and on rosters for 3 others). Appears that’s not the record, though. A quick Google search suggests that honor belongs to QB J.T. O’Sullivan — between 2002 and 2012, he was on 11 NFL team rosters as well one each in NFL Europe and the CFL. He was ...

Re: Great, now Doug Atkins "helped revolutionize" DE spot
6'8"? Was there anyone else who played D End anywhere near that height anywhere near as well? He pioneered the stratosphere. Too Tall Jones was 6’9”. WR Harold Carmichael was also 6’8”. OTs Jonathan Ogden and Bob St. Clair were also 6’9”. TE Morris Stroud was 6’10”. DT Richard Sligh was report...
