[Atkins&Rebel]

The article I read was 15 from this list and 3 finalists from the senior committee will go on to get whittled down from there...

[Otis Day]

AI think maybe I just expect more to be in a hall of fame. None of those QBs scream best of the best. RBs the same. WRs, I am thinking Moss and TO. OL I am saying Jacoby and the homer in me says Hilgy.

DL - not really
LBs - tough one really, homer says Url and need to look at others compared to him.
DB - just to piss everyone off, Rodney Harrison. I think his stats are equal to anyone else on the ballot. Also, he is Leatherneck!! he will never get in.

Coaches - I am liking Coryell and Knox.
