In general, defensive line candidates are always tough to judge and compare. It seems there are so many factors involved outside of sacks that 'regular' fans don't really think about, making DE's, DT's, and Nose Tackles especially difficult positions to get a clear picture of. Contrast it with assessing a QB, where you can usually make a perfectly clear case (statistically speaking) for or against any field general's enshrinement.
Growing up in Queens in the shadow of Shea Stadium, though, I say hell yeah!!!!!!!
