canton?
i hear ya. i think i mentioned the no back to back season dominance. look at everyone with 100+ sacks:nope. and it's not really close.
he had a good run with a few good sack seasons but he was pretty one-dimensional ... wasn't real solid against the run
the guys right around him on the all-time sacks list (neil smith, pat swilling, trace armstrong) did not get into Canton and they were all stronger against the run than elvis.

there are 32. 19 are in canton. after reviewing, it appears 125 is the new 100. nearly everyone with 125+ is is or will be in. there are 17 guys with 125+. 11 are in, and 5-6 are shoe ins.
lotta great names with 100-125 not in, surprised me.
my favorite name on the list of "not ins" is leslie oneal.yeah, i pulled up the list when you posted this thread to see where he fit in on the all-time list. There are a lot of great players over 100 that didn't get in.
Couldn't even get to 106? Not impressed...

4 year stretch with 54 sacks. 13 year career, had fewer than 10 sacks only 5 times (one time being 9).
not in, should be. hes tied with lawrence taylor with 132.5 (tho LT didnt get credit for 9 his rookie year).
and if i recall, at the combine, he couldnt bench over 225 lbs.
Good player. I wouldn't say he is a Hall of Famer.
I forgot about thatHe had another 1/2 sack that would have put him at 106 but it got stuck in the fax machine.
