Starting the day 21 behind ND for first place all time. Let’s get it down a few more today.

NJshoreCane · Oct 4, 2020

And we're doing it with over 200 less players.

TemplarCane · Oct 4, 2020

Upcoming Canes in the HOF:

RB Frank Gore - lock, eventually. 5 year wait after retirement.

WR Reggie Wayne - should be in the next 2-3 years.
WR Andre Johnson - should be, although TD production and playing on Houston with average-to-bad QBs will hurt.
DT Vince Wilfork - should be.

KR Devin Hester - GOAT but can a player who is primarily a returner get in? We’ll see.

Gore, Wayne, Johnson, Wilfork and Hester all will be in the HOF

️No doubt

B/C Hester was so far & away the greatest return man in NFL history, to the point teams started complaining about KO alignments to slow him down, I think he will. The NFL changed both the pro bowl votes to eliminate specialist & KOs b/c Hester was a lock for a PB slot & TD. My man would have at least 7 PBs on his resume, and he’s missing 4, for sure b/c I personally witnessed them, return TDs that weren’t accredited to him due to KO blocking scheme rule changes.

Guy will be the first to open up the door to specialist.

You may be right. Let’s hope so!

Wilfork is a lock!

Some positions aren’t known for scoring touchdowns...that just means we put significantly more skill positions in the league

Wilfork is a lock - he's arguably the greatest DT who's ever played the game. Guy was the cornerstone for those Patriot defenses.

Wlifork was great but the greatest DT to ever play the game? Where do people come up with this stuff?

This is my take as well. It's all well and good to say special teams players don't do as well, but when you're talking about one who changed games and took the role to a whole other level, you have no choice.

Hester to the hall.

Incorrect.
Total RBs, TEs, and WRs in the League:
ND -125
Miami - 105

Quick count, I may have missed 1 or 2.
I also have no clue what the "B" position is, which ND has 14 of and we have 2. So they're excluded.

???

First of all, I said arguably. And yes, he is one of the best DTs to ever play the game. Do you not remember how dominant he was? Belichick built his entire 3-4 defense around Wilfork.

Brains · Oct 4, 2020

It will take a long time, but eventually Devin H and Vince will get in, because they are best in class at their respective crafts.

No he's not....he's not even a Top 4-5 UM DT.....

Come on man... I'm old school as you are, and even I see wilfork as one of our all time best

AlphaMarshan · Oct 4, 2020

Belichick says he's the greatest D-Lineman he's ever coached. You can find article after article talking about Vince being among the best - if not the best - DTs ever.

Cryptical Envelopment · Oct 4, 2020

Us being #2 is statistically INSANE when you consider we got started decades later than these "blue blood" programs.

SayWhat · Oct 4, 2020

There's a stay for everything is my take away on this. Never would've even crossed my mind.
