Pat Swilling in the HOF?

I loved Swilling too. My favorite of the Dome Patrol.

I don't think he will have any chance as he was not the complete LB that Jackson was.

He was a rush end specialist, and a great one at that.

One of my greatest memories of Swilling was at the dome when he dropped back into coverage, intercepted a pass and took it to the house. Opening game against the Seahawks in '91 I believe.

For the numbers that D put up, they should all get in, that being said, Pat's stint with the Lion's killed his chances.

Swilling made the Pro-Bowl his first season with Detroit with 6.5 sacks and 3 interceptions. He had a 13.5 sack season with Oakland two years later.

It's one thing to believe he isn't worthy of the HOF, but it's another to spew non-sense that he became a non-factor once he left the Saints, or was only a pass rush specialist.
