Your probally right on Willie. SA has the TD record, his TD numbers are rediculous. Joey probally should go in the second group. I'm pretty sure TO will make it. His TD #s are rediculously good. He's been very good for many years. I guess he could go in the second group but he's closer than most in that 2nd group.

I dont have a problem with Madison not being in either although at 1 time he was very dominant.

Modern Era (majority of career '46 onward), NFL HOF

16 Linebackers
17 Wide Receivers
1 Kicker

They only vote in 3-6 a year. That includes coaches and "old timers".
I think you have too many at some positions.

Ed Reed (Group 2)
Curtis Martin (Lock)
Jerome Bettis (Lock...I know he retired)

The only guys I think that will drop are:

Anderson
Porter
Madison
Elam

I think that Seau, Brooks, Thomas, Lewis and Urlacher are locks. Lewis, Seau and Urlacher being ahead of Thomas and Brooks slightly.

Shawne Merriman?

Agreed. Vinatieri should get in because of the super bowl kicks, but I doubt Elam will get in.

Reed good one.

Martin, good one as well. Forgot he was still playing.

Anyone have any ideas on any other cover corners? Bailey is honestly the only one of note that's any good and has enough experience to be a lock. I'm running blanks on them and DTs.

If you are going to put Owens in, you better put Moss in.
