Torry Holt's Hall of Fame Snub: An Undeniable Oversight

Torrey Holt, coach, you know, his name gets brought up all the time now for Hall of Fame consideration. I looked at the numbers between Andre Reid, and no shade and no disrespect to Andre Reid at all, but I look at Torrey Holt's numbers and I go, what am I missing here, coach? Seventh time pro bowler, I mean, he's got the numbers, he's got over 1,000 recept, I mean, the guy's got everything that you need. What's the holdup, in your opinion, because him not being in the Pro Football Hall of Fame? Well, he's the fastest guy to 10,000 yards in the history of the league. He's had six 1,300-yard seasons, nobody's ever done that consecutively. He's done things that nobody's even come close to doing. It's a political thing. The three guys that kind of run that committee or headed up have said that we've got too many guys from that offense in the Hall of Fame. They made that comment a couple of times, which just irks me, and Peter King, for some reason, has blasted Torrey and says he doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame. Why or how? I'd like to talk to Peter about this. What's that based on? It can't be based, here's the thing that bothers me the most. They say, well, you're on this team with all this talent. Well, that makes it even harder, because if you're throwing the ball to Oz and to Isaac Bruce and Marshall Falk, then there's less opportunities for you. So to stand out with all that other talent is pretty remarkable. To me, it's an argument that he should be in, but it's probably the biggest travesty in all of football right now that he's not in the Hall of Fame. Wow, that's a great comment there. Marshall Falk, how important, Coach, was Marshall Falk to the engine of the greatest show on turf? Well, he was the greatest show on turf. Without him, we're a good team, but we're not a great team. And you go back and look at the plays that he made at key moments for us to win games. You know, the NFC Championship against Philadelphia is a great example. We come out in the second half and hand him the ball 22 times. He gets two touchdowns, and we win it to go to the Super Bowl. So he could put the team on his back at times, and he'd answer. Yeah, I think he's the primary reason we were such a dynamic offense and such a good football team.
