Special Teams

Steve Tasker, probably the greatest player ever to run downfield under a punt, is a freak choice. If the selectors are in a generous mood, he'll somehow get pushed up to the finals. Then I'll have to take a long, serious look at the nominations and life in general. A lot of hearts will be gladdened if little Steve somehow gets enshrined. Mine would be among them.

Thurman & Andre also get mentions.

How sweet would it be if Thurman and Tasker got in I would trek the journey from Austin Tx to Canton to see that enshrinement

Thurman and Andre should be absolute locks. Tasker definitely deseves it as well, but new ground will have to be plowed in order for a special teamer - albeit the greatest of all time - to be enshrined. I don't know if enough of these "follow the crowd" voters will have the cajones to put Tasker in.

Intresting to see what happens with Terrell Davis... He was certainly dominant while he played but how does his 8 years stack up against otheres who played longer?
