129 games is remarkable for a lineman with all the banging they do down there....a great accomplishment.
As for the HOF, I don't know. Linemen are tricky. There are not really any stats that you can point to and say they were the best. They have sacks and tackles, but those aren't very accurate. Are they able to get tackles and sacks because they are not being double teamed?? I will leave that question to people that are paid to do it, but I would not have any objection if he were put in.
