I've been clamoring for Jacoby and/or Grimm to get in for years. I can't believe not a single Hog is in
Jacoby was a monster the last Super Bowl year. I believe he did not allow a single sack and was also only whistled for like 2 or 3 penalties. Grimm was a rock on the Hogs line and playeed on the premier offensive line in football for 10 years. Seems the HOF is about offensive scoring numbers and not how many holes were opened for those running touchdowns or how many blocks resulted in allowing the QB time to throw a TD. The stats these boys tallied don't count much with the voters but they are hall of famers with those that know the game.

probably the best offensive line ever assembled. bostic, grimm, may, and jacoby should all be there. can anyone think of a better all round line?
In a word....NO!

An absolute wall. Let's not forget George Starke. Original Hog.

Art Monk should be in, but another player who I really liekd that still isn't in. Thurman Thomas. Why isn't he in?
Thomas has only been eligible for (two?) years. His final seasons were much like Monk's - playing for teams he shouldn't have, and not producing up to his own standards. Despite Thomas's enormous talent, I feel he's a player who benefited greatly from the scheme he played in, and wasn't a first ballot kind of guy. He'll make it, but the wait is appropriate.
ArtMonkDrillz made an interesting statement earlier about Moseley. I must confess I've never put him near the Canton level, but I don't think of kickers that way. Given his MVP status, maybe I should. I think his name should at least enter the conversation, and it's a shame it hasn't.

The Bills with OJ , and the Miami's with Czonka and Kick were both very good,Emmit had a couple of good O line's so were the 49's with Montana.:food-smil

I find it ironic that Joe Gibbs got in as a great head coach and one of the best offenive minds in NFL History yet three of his main cogs on that offense, Jacoby, Grimm and especially Monk dont get their due. Other teams who won as much over an extended period like Gibbs Skins did seem to have gotten more than one player in the HOF yet only Riggins has gotten that respect from the media thus far.
Joe Gibbs to me is one of a handful of the greatest coaches ever to live but he didn't do it alone. He had great players who came up big on the biggest stage. Monk to be is a no brainer yet he isn't in. Jacoby and Grimm were the very best of one of the best offensive lines of all time, an offensive line that Gibbs built his great offense around. No other modern era coach has relyed as much on a great offensive line as Gibbs did IMO because he was the master of ball control which puts a heavy burden on your offensive line.
I hate to whine and say there is an anti Redskins bias going on with the HOF but it sure looks that way...and of course I am biased...LOL.

Is Mark Mosley in? He played mainly before I was born and I've never really checked into his stats (and I'm too lazy to do so now) but I figure any kicker who could be the league MVP is probably HOF worthy.
No he's not. The only Placekicker to make it so far is Jan Stenerud (http://www.profootballhof.com/hof/member.jsp?player_id=203)
