Can go back to coaches and I remember the great Dick LeBeau being on NFLN years ago (wish I had recorded it, always like hearing him talk football philosophy) and he was talking about how you didn't have to get sacks, and he thought pressure was easily more important (similar to what I've posted a ...

I don't have a problem with either. I think Greene's career was a bit more impressive (160 sacks is 160 sacks and, while maybe not as good all around as someone like Ricky Jackson, he wasn't as one dimensional as someone like Derrick Thomas) but, while his career total (100.5) pales in comparison t...

Let me say first off that I'd be pretty surprised if only one of them gets in and VERY surprised if both are passed over.
