Is that list in a random order? pretty weird seeing the top 2 guys were on the LA teams when they relocated

 

[David Yudkin]

If by random you mean alphabetical, then yes.

 

[David Yudkin]

We discussed this when the names were first announced . . .

[moondog]

In no particular order - Dawson, Faulk, Sanders, Sabol, Sharpe, and Hanburger.

 

[Deranged Hermit]

In no particular order - Dawson, Faulk, Sanders, Sabol, Sharpe, and Hanburger.

I'm thinking along the same lines as you, but I'll replace Hanburger with Richard Dent.

You can''t swap Hanburger with Dent. Only 5 players can get inducted and 1 senior nominee.

man i suck at this

 

[Tau837]

In no particular order - Dawson, Faulk, Sanders, Sabol, Sharpe, and Hanburger.

Almost the same:

My immediate reaction to this list of finalists without giving it more thought is that I think the non-senior choices should be Faulk, Sanders, Sharpe, Carter, and Dawson.

Actually, both senior nominees can go in, along with up to 5 non-senior finalists. Agree it isn't possible to switch Hanburger for Dent.

Brain fart, I was just picking 6 guys. Forgot about the senior nominee rule. Swap Dent and Sabol than.

These are locks.

 

[David Yudkin]

I'm not sure how Dawson is a lock, seeing how he didn't make it in 5 times already.

 

[Frenchy Fuqua]

In no particular order - Dawson, Faulk, Sanders, Sabol, Sharpe, and Hanburger.

Almost the same:

My immediate reaction to this list of finalists without giving it more thought is that I think the non-senior choices should be Faulk, Sanders, Sharpe, Carter, and Dawson.

You're coming around on Dirt, I like it! Agreed with your list. Although I could see Curtis Martin replacing either Sharpe or Carter.

I've always felt Dawson is a HOFer, I just don't necessarily think he is the best center of all time.

 

[hauser42]

Ed Sabol he added a ton to the NFL with his creation.

Neon Deion effected every game he was in.

D. Dawson one of the best during his time.

M Faulk top 3 all around back in my book in the history of NFL

 

[Orange Crush]

Vote for who you think should go in HERE

 

[Dexter Manley]

Who I would put in:

Sanders

Faulk

Dawson

Roaf

Sabol

Hanburger

Lead pipe.

 

[dgreen]

Rumor around here is that Dawson is in this year.

That's more of a prediction than a rumor since they haven't voted yet.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

I can't decide between Dent and Ed Sabol. Dent was a sensational pass rusher, but Sabol was just so stout at the point of attack, and such a great tackler.

Seriously, how do you have voters decide between players and non-players? There should be different categories.
