Re: Giants doing top 100 players ... have released 91-100

Despite his importance in helping the Giants win two championships, Carl Banks accolades and numbers are too light to put him in the HOF. His best season was 1987, when the team went off the rails. He missed a lot of games in 1990 as well. I thought he was in on more tackles than listed, but one of...

1958 NFLCG interception

PFR brought this to my attention, I never noticed that the play-by-play of the 1958 championship game credited Lindon Crow with the interception of Unitas Carl Karilivacz got it --- and replay shows it and newspapers at the time https://youtu.be/93O6qcubTVk?t=1469 I am having trouble attaching files...

Re: Ray Brown (OL)

Wondering what people think. Is offensive lineman Ray Brown a "first ballot" Hall of Very Good inductee after playing in 250 + games and making the Pro Bowl so late in his career? I do not think he is eligible for a while. Quite a player. Thanks. Nick he also missed an entire season or it...

Re: Tight Ends and Defensive Tackles that could be Hall of Very Good

Forgot Tim Krumrie at nose tackle as well. Deserves HOVG, takes on clips and blocks and still tackled the ball carrier. Not sure if he held the point of attack like Smerlas, Baumhower or Charlie Johnson though? Was not as big as Smerlas... but Krumrie got down the line like Baumhaower did and made ...

Re: Tight Ends and Defensive Tackles that could be Hall of Very Good

I feel like Coach Shula put a tremendous amount of responsibility on Bob Baumhower and maybe some of his stats were down because of it? I do not think I listed him as one of my five nominees to the Hall of Very Good this year, hopefully he is a finalist next year. I think Fred Smerlas is in the H o...
