    I'd like Jimmy, Haley, and Woodson to get in, but they probably won't.:-(

    An all-Cowboys class...plus Kurt Warner. Sounds right :D

    I'd also like to see Terrell Davis get in. I don't think he will because of his short carreer...but he should...

    TD should get in because not only did he have to go up against NFL defenses, but he had to battle chronic migraines as well. How he played to the level he did was amazing.

    Woodson is never going to get in. Great player, but Steve Atwater is not even in. Safeties get no love from the HOF

    haley should get in and so should johnson,woodson? not worth it and greatly overated.
    roger craig and tim brown both deserve a spot.i think dungy was a good enough coach to make it in too.

    You could pretty much make a case for anyone on the list. I say no to Marvin Harrison just because Tim Brown had to wait so long. I like TD a lot, but IMO, he's not Hall of Fame material over a lot of those guys...I'm not sure he's Hall worthy...that's one I go back and forth on.

    What about Witten when it's his time? TEs don't get much love from the HOF either. I think only 8 TEs are there now.

    I Hate dallas,but witten should get in on the 1st ballot.he'll own a lot of the te records by the time he retires.
    I Also think joe jacoby deserves a place in the hall.without grimm and jacoby,it is doubtful the redskins win 3 super bowls and joe gibbs does not make it into the HOF.

    I Think Tim Brown deserves it more than harrison does too.people forget he was also a decent kick returner along with being a great wr.
    I Do not think there will ever be a wr as good as jerry rice.to me,he is a once in a lifetime player to most all of us who saw him play and change the league like he did.

    We'll see how fast Gonzo gets in. If he gets in on his couple tries, Witten will get in at some point

    I think you will see Dawkins and Reed have a much easier time. Safeties are more valued in there era then they were in the 90's.

    Not counting Dawkins ( who is more the next era of safeties), Woodson was probably the 4th or 5th best Safety of his era behind Atwater, Lake, Butler and very close with Robinson. Woodson and Williams got in, but more for their CB play
