Let's hope that, come tomorrow, Joe Jacoby will be -- deservedly -- in the Hall of Fame.

I hope so. In my opinion he was the best hog.

He deserves to be but nothing is for certain otherwise Jerry kramer would have been inducted years ago.

Rooting BIG time for him. Past time.

The case for Joe Jacoby, Hall of Famer

Excerpt

So maybe it’s better for others to make the case for Jacoby. They will tell you how Jacoby played in 21 playoff games, more than any other Hog, and tied for the most in Redskins franchise history. They will tell you how he started in five NFC championship games and four Super Bowls for perhaps the most dominant team of the 1980s. They will point out how Jacoby was the bedrock of a line that produced two of the three best rushing performances in Super Bowl history, how he won Super Bowls in front of three different quarterbacks and three different running backs. They will note that during his 13-year tenure, the Redskins ranked fourth in the NFL in yards, third in points, second in time of possession and second in wins — just ahead of the Marino Dolphins, and behind only the Montana/Young 49ers.

I have no idea why OL get snubbed. Orlando Pace is not in and that's hard to understand as well. Jake was the anchor of the original Hogs, let's all hope.

Because the Hall Of Fame voting panel is made up mostly of reporters. They tend to vote in the flashy players in droves because thats where they made their money. Reporting on guys like Owens, Favre and your sexy skill positions. As important as O-line is, and as great as some of the guys who are not in the Hall were at their job... The fastest way to the Hall of Fame is to be the center of the news hawks attention for most of your career.

Congrats Jake on the birth of your grandson...future Skins LT

Could?

The kid has the look to. The look of disbelief that his fave squad could ever be the league laughingstock. Cuz his formative years are gonna be filled with NFC East titles and Super Bowl trophies.
