I loved Big Willie, but was he really facing off against those guys?  Bruce Smith was practically always a RDE from memory, which would mean he didn't line up against Anderson.  I do seem to remember the '06 Carolina game where Peppers did line up against him on a number of occasion.

I hope he makes it to the Hall, and believe he will eventually.  But I'm a bit skeptical of that endorsement.
