It is a wide-open year

two yearts ago Tingelhoff was in the final round and was eliminated, then this year he made it.

And others have kind of followed that . . .

this year is tough ... I think the relook at Johnny Robinson, Kramer, and will take hard look at Gradishar. Stabler's name popping up. I hear stuff about Eddie Meador as well . ..

but tough year to predict

With just two, I'd go Kenny Anderson and Chuck Howey. Can i call Del Shofner a contributor to shove him in as well, best player in the entire league at his position three years in a four year span - better than Carter, Reed or Brown could claim.

Most of the names mentioned are certainly worthy of consideration, some I don't like that sometimes get mention, Lester Hayes, the Snake, Donnie Shell, LC, Russ Grimm, Jim Marshall, etc.

Grimm is already inducted. Maybe you mean Joe Jacoby, but he is sill not yet a Senior.

I, for once, want to see Todd Christensen at least in the Seniors semifinalists.

Yup, you got me on confusing Grimm and Jacoby.

I do like Christensen, think he's more HOVG, but absolutely should be discussed, kind of where I am on Zach Thomas, how is there literally NO discussion.

Christensen has the misfortune of no longer being around, which likely is an unspoken mark against him--unfair as that may be.

As mentioned before, Grimm is already in. Of this group, am fine with Shell and Greenwood, on the fence with Hayes and Stabler, no on Marshall.
