I actually thought you liked more players. I liked Dillon and Krumrie alot as well. When a nose tackle is on, over 1000 tackles, he is going beyond his job but didnt get the accolades. Montoya and Blados were talented on the offensive line along with Munoz but arent as remembered.

Thanks Robert ... Casanova was good too but a short career like Reid. If Holman at TE had more TD catches, his future case would have been even more solid ...

Dillon is a very interesting case. His numbers are pretty darn good - almost 90 total TDs & over 13,000 total yards. But never an all-pro selection. HOVG lock though. His career is similar to some guys that are in - Floyd Little, Jerome Bettis... and others who should/could be in - Herschel Walker, Marshawn Lynch.

Anderson I see in the HOF at some point.

Cincinnati will be rocking tomorrow if Riley gets the nomination. He has a very cool jersey on ebbetts.com.

Some years ago I saw an article about O.J. Simpson's career as a whole. One point was that on paper O.J.'s numbers look similar to Corey Dillon's career numbers. I agree that Dillon should be in the HOVG.

Though underutilized as a receiver, Dillon was a great blocker to me. I have seen him bury people. That and a championship should help him for HOF ...

Ignoring the fact that OJ played in a 14 game season, and the general consensus that OJ had a five year run as the best RB in the league, and had 2 of the best 5 or 6 seasons by a RB ever. His 2,000 yards in 14 games in 1973 earned him every award an athlete could win for that year.

His 1,800 yards and 23 total touchdowns in 1975 was even better.

Wow-what a year for this team ... A lead they lost in the SB, rising stars on their team and OT Willie Anderson is getting closer to the HOF. If the seniors go for two candidates in September, there will be noise for Riley or Ken Anderson to get one of the slots though this could be the year for Gradishar or Howley.

The Bengals have to upgrade their line and add another running back to their attack. They cant forget more defense as well, especially in the secondary. Though recent SB losers dont make it back, this team should still make the playoffs.
