Russ Grimm Elected Into Hall of Fame Class of 2010

Was Russ really the best Hog of them all? His career as a great player made it until roughly age 27 or 28. Jacoby, I think, would get my vote as the greatest of the bunch, even though the hall is overrun with offensive tackles, and Lachey might have been even better, although he didn't have all of his very best years in Washington.

I'm happy to see the unit get recognition, but I would have much preferred them to go in together as "The Hogs" because it was truly a unit that was greater than the sum of its parts. Seeing Grimm get elected is bittersweet for me, if only because other players who deserve the honor just as much if not more probably don't get in now. It was, in my opinion, the "get a Hog in the Hall" campaign that got Grimm over the hump, and without that type of moral dilemma to push on otherwise neutral voters, now Jacoby, Lachey, and Bostic have basically no chance. And I don't really like that.

Although I'm very very happy for Grimm I though Jacoby was the best player on the line. Perhaps it wa becuase of his longevity. Lachey simply didn't play long enough to merit any consideration. Bostic was not a great player. Good but not great.

Chris Carter should be pissed. He's is one of the best wr's of his time and of all time. I guess the media people that vote don't like the guy.

I don't think it's that they don't like him, it's that they don't necessarily place him significantly above other WR candidates like Ande Reed, so the votes gets split essentially.

I think Grimm's post-playing career in the NFL helped him as well, though no voter would readily admit to that.

Confirmed''

I would say three words, "It's about time". He can now join the other greats that played alongside him during his career, including his coach. I'm happy for Russ Grimm.

Congrats to Russ Grimm! I honestly didnt think this would be a year he got in..

Grimm was well deserving and if only one Hog is going to be in, I think he's the right choice. I've always thought Skins fans overrated Jacoby just a bit. I think the fact that LT pretty much owned him sticks out to voters and holds him back. Grimm was very much a dominant interior lineman. I don't recall anyone owning him, and his legendary performances against the likes of Randy White is his calling card.

FINALLY a Hog gets in!!! This is very well deserved, and frankly, Joe Jacoby should be in as well.

This is a great thing for the "Hogs" of the 80's. Joe Jacoby deserves it as well. Maybe he will be next from those 80's teams.

Which defensive players do you feel as though should make it from those teams.

How about Charles Mann, Wilber Marshall, or Dexter Manley?

DM will probaly never get in because of his past with Substance abuse, but if LT can make it can't anyone?

I think Grimm just may be the last representative of the Skins glory years of the 80's/early 90's

Chris Carter should be pissed. He's is one of the best wr's of his time and of all time. I guess the media people that vote don't like the guy.

Chris Carter can wait just like Art Monk had to.

Jacoby, Manley and Clark deserve to be there as well.
