    You're actually trying to compare 4 different positions when you consider 4-3 and 3-4 systems, and inside outside LB in both systems.

    I'd put Ham over Lambert by a small margin. I'd also put Harrison over TJ for now, though only because of longevity.

    I'd take Kevin Green off the list entirely simply because he only played for the Steelers for a few years.

    My biggest problem with your list is Andy Russell. I'd rank him up there with Harrison and TJ. He was overshadowed by 58 and 59, but damn was he a great LB! IMO he's the biggest HOF snub in team history, even moreso than LC & Ward

    Have to agree with the Dentist and I'm a well known anti-dentite;) Green was good but I never would put him on list.

    Where is Bush? He makes Watt;)
