Nino11 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Always loved Abe wen he was here and still hate he got hurt that last regular season game in 2012. Some big names eligible so he probably won’t get in https://es.pn/2ZW6He9 Faithful Falcon and rounz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew4719 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 He is the best of all the defensive linemen nominated. If you look at where his career sack total ranks all-time, he should definitely get in sooner or later. On a side note, lol at that QB class. I guess there won't be any new QBs getting in until Manning is eligible (unless one from the group of oldies gets in this year), and after manning, it'll really be a while before any of the candidates that are playing currently are eligible.

Abe was a great one, and gets my vote. But Claude Humphrey is the best DE in this franchise’s history.

Sun Tzu 7 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 This isn't Abe's 1st year of eligibility. I see Richard Seymore and Simeon Rice having a better chance because of the rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazerSlayer Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 He's pretty high up the sack totals list, 12th all time, so he is in with a shout. I suspect he may have to wait but I loved his time here. I remember late in a game against New Orleans, they were driving to tie the game, and on third down he smashed Brees into the dirt to finish it.

In fairness to Coach Smith, resting the starters at the end of 2010 didn’t work that well, either. He tried something different in 2012 and the Falcon curse still found us.

Dr Long Shot Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Every Falcon fan who saw him play knows how special he was. It would solve so many of our problems if we had another Abe on the team right now lol.

Josh and Paul are always helping charities out here. All these guys are awesome and don’t hesitate to get involved in the community.

Nino11 Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 Don’t get me wrong if I had it my way Abe would get in for sure. I still remember how excited I was his first game where he had his was with Carolina and Delhomme. Man that line with him, Kerney, Rod Coleman, and Big Grady Jackson was the greatest that never was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
