Williams, Humphrey and of course Guy were all great picks.

Ray Guy was more than a punter. He was an artiste, back fromwhen the Raiders were fun. Biletnikoff, and that guy with the stickum) and even Mark Van Eeghan made for a great team to watch.

I’m very glad for Ray Guy. I don’t know that there are many HOF-worthy punters/kickers, but he certainly is.

Yes. I'm old enough to know when wide receivers not only couldn't wear gloves, but if a guy had stickum on his hands it was considered "cheating".

Belitnikoff was considered a "cheater" at the time.

Don't get me started on just WHY Snake Stabler is not in the HOF.

Some say it's because the Raiders of the time were considered "dirty" players.

Ergo, why only a few of them made the HOF.

IMHO, the 70s Raiders were awesome. And I'm not even a Raiders fan.
