The Pro Football Hall of Fame has released its list of preliminary nominees for 2008, and the list includes seven players who are eligible for the first time.

Among those on the list are Darrell Green, who should get in first, and Art Monk, who should've been in ages ago. Here is the full list and here, complements the Official Site, are all the Redskins(ish) players on it:

Gary Clark, WR, 1985-92
Henry Ellard, WR, 1993-97
Darrell Green, CB, 1983-2002
Russ Grimm, G, 1981-91
Ken Harvey, LB, 1994-98
Joe Jacoby, T, 1981-93
Jim Lachey, OL, 1988-95
Wilber Marshall, LB, 1988-92
Mark May, OL, 1981-89
Art Monk, WR, 1980-93
Joe Theismann, QB, 1974-85
Doug Williams, QB, 1986-89...

Frank "Bucko" Kilroy, scout, 1962-64
Eric Metcalf, KR, 2002
Andre Reed, WR, 2000
Reggie Roby, P, 1993-94;
Clark Shaughnessy, coach, 1944-47
Ernie Zampese, coach, 2004.

Give me Darrell Green, Art Monk, and one member of the Hogs, and I'll be a happy camper.

Mister Irrelevant, Darrell Green Will Be a HOFer, Goddammit

No kidding....

Of Course Darrell is a lock, and Art Monk sitting out this long is almost as bad as Goose Gossage and Jim Rice sitting out of the MLB hall of fame. That said, for your third entry I think it would be a crime to not get both Joe Jacoby AND Russ Grimm in the hall. Those guy were anchors pure and simple.

And they were defining members

of the most famous offensive line in NFL history. Anyone who thinks it is a shame that offensive linemen don't get the credit they deserve for the work done need to fight this fight, Redskins fans or not. If The Hogs can't get a representative in the Hall of Fame then it's hard to imagine many other deserving linemen getting the opportunity.

Go Register. Or else.
