Both will get in at some point. both players are SB champions, Have well over 100 sacks in there careers. Now they will probably end up having to wait like Kevin Greene did for nearly 20 years and he had over 160 sacks but never won a SB as a player I don't think. He played in 2 1 with Carolina and 1 with Steelers.

 

I think the committee hold players with SB wins in higher regard though in general. I don't agree with it but I think they do

If Doleman isn't in,  How could freeney ir Mathis get in?  

 

Edit,   I didn't realize doleman was elected.   Not sure how I missed that.    Maybe they do have a shot at getting in

Mathis being #1 all time in strip sacks has to help his case IMO

He and freeney are behind a bunch of pass rushers.  I doubt either ever get in

I never said it'd be instant or first ballot, but I do think eventually he'll get in
