Bettis, Dirt in top 15.  DB Jack Butler nominated by senior committee.

Parcells obviously makes it.

I think Bettis would be favored over Martin.  Fewer yards, but the Bus made a bigger impression in the league (no pun intended).  Plus the ring and the story that goes with it puts him over.

Dirt has a shot - couple other good O linemen though (Shields, Roaf).  And if Bettis is in, would they take two Steelers in one year with other options?

Wrs IMO go Reed>Brown>Carter, but Carter has the ESPN bump.

Aneas Williams, Kevin Greene, Cortez Kennedy, DiBartolo longshots IMO.

Doleman & Haley borderline in this group. 

Don't know enough about the old timers.

That all sounds about right.  Except I'd take Dirt first, then Bettis as you're probably right about them only taking one Steeler at a time.
