Way down on my list. But still a deserving enshrine ... just hate to see Kramer and Robinson getting shafted again.

The more I'm thinking about this, I wonder if the recent Seahawks defensive dominance had any influence on this choice. :roll:

Ron Borges said on the TOF show last week that Jack Tatum was one of the senior finalists.

Easley is eminently more qualified. Also missing from the above outstanding is Del Shofner who, like Easley, is one of the few old-timers you can say was at one point the best in the entire NFL at his position.
