'Skins number game

Is Brian Mitchell a Hall of Famer?

That's a tough one. As a special teams ace he's pretty much done it all, I would think that eventually he would have to get in. First ballot..... probably not.

Man, I'm away from the computer for a few hours, and y'all come up with a 19 page thread!

I was trying to remember the names and numbers of the original Hogs. Anyone?

(and if we ever get custom avatars, save me one of Big Route 66, Joe Jacoby.)

Original Hogs were C Jeff Bostic #53, G Russ Grimm #68, G Mark May #73, T Joe Jacoby #66, T George Starke #74, and TE Doc Walker #88.

Hmmmm... Or was Don Warren the Hog?

I think both Doc and Warren were Hogs

I didn't see Kenny Houston mentioned anywhere in there but I can't remember his number. He did a great job for the Skins!!!!

Wow, you don't think mitchell is a first ballot HOF? I know it's special's, but he is the best of all time, I think he deserves to be a first ballot HOF, who know's the way some of these guy's vote.

Deserves and if he'll actually go first ballot are two different things.

there are too many other guys that deserve to go before him, hell get his spot there though for sure

DefenseWins, WOW, I had forgotten all about Mul-Key. Yeah, he was real good on the returns for a while. I guess Mitchell has to be considered the greatest of our kick returners, but Nelms was definitely my favorite. Amazing guy. Just refused to fair catch, period. And always seemed to hold onto the ball and make something happen.

Mike Nelms was my favorite as well. I know this might piss the younger fans off, but I liked Nelms slightly better than Brain Mitchell as well. Mitchell has much more yards because he played alot longer and played on better and more talented teams. But after watching them both play, Mike Nelms (in my opinion) was slightly more explosive as a pure play maker on kick returns.
Plus do you remember Mike Nelms was also the #2 safety and the #1 goal line safety. He would tackle and hit so hard that coaches limited his play on defense because he would end up bruising/hurting his shoulders and they did not want to lose him on returns. He was a big hitter.
