Living the Dream Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) I was curious on what some of the teams would look like and discussions on who should and should not be on the list. DALLAS COWBOYS DEFENSE: Cornerback Deion Sanders Mel Renfro Safety Darren Woodson Cliff Harris Linebacker DeMarcus Ware Chuck Howley Lee Roy Jordan Defensive End Ed "Too Tall" Jones Charles Haley Defensive Tackle Randy White Bob Lilly OFFENSE: Offensive Tackle Rayfield Wright Erik Williams Offensive Guard Larry Allen Nate Newton Center Mark Stepnoski Wide Receiver Michael Irvin Bob Hayes Tight End Jason Witten Running Back Emmitt Smith Tony Dorsett Quarterback Troy Aikman Kicker Rafael Septien Punter Mat McBriar Returner Herschel Walker Coach Tom Landry Harvey Martin over Too Tall at DE Rodger over Troy at QB Danny White at Punter And there is no way Im putting a child molester in my All Time Starters, sorry no Septien at K Also not sure I put in 4 OL from the 90s team. I think Id consider Ralph Neely over Nate Newton I also think you have to get Everson Walls in there, he wasnt better than Deion, but Deion didnt play here that long. Here is a list of the Cowboys top 50 players not playing today. http://uweblogsports.blogspot.com/2008/07/...s-all-time.html 50. Erik Williams Personal issues, yes. One of the best offensive linemen in the game for a decade? Yes. 49. Duane Thomas Just two seasons, but what he lacked in franchise longevity he made up for in punch. And being kinda weird. 48. Robert Newhouse Good pass-catching back, who served as a very useful ying to Dorsett's yang. 47. Tom Rafferty Played 13 long seasons in the trenches of the offensive line. 46. Michael Downs Every year, the Cowboys didn't need to worry about cornerbacks the way they do now. Thanks to guys like Downs, they knew they were solid on the sidelines. 45. Doug Cosbie Cowboys tight ends are always so lovable. Cosbie was no exception much like two dudes that will follow. 44. Calvin Hill Nice running back who could catch a pass or two out of the backfield. Two 1,000-yard seasons. 43. Thomas Henderson Just when you thought this list would be boring with a ton of hillbilly white dudes. 42. Mark Stepnoski Greatest center in franchise history. The blue behind those 1990s offensive lines that ruled the roost for so long. 41. Nate Newton A Butterball turkey of personality. And Josh Gordon. 40. Kevin Gogan A mammoth of a dude who helped win two rings. 39. Herb Scott Another very, very solid offensive lineman during those great teams of the late-1970s and early-1980s. 38. Billy Joe Dupree Fantastic second fiddle to Drew Pearson in the 1970s. Of his 34 catches in 1978, nine were for touchdowns. 37. Jethro Pugh In the words of Hank Hill, "Sweet Jethro Pugh!" Thirteen seasons on great teams playing at least 12 games. 36. Darryl Johnston Fullbacks are a tough read. The Moose was great, no doubt. But considering the running back (Emmitt Smith) and that offensive line (arguably the best ever) could a lesser fullback have been just as good. Sub-question: Would Johnston be as revered had he toiled on the Bucs or Colts? 35. Walt Garrison Tough-nosed, hard-working local guy, who's as rugged as barbed wire. 34. Frank Clarke For the early-1960s, Clarke was as "big play" as you got. Lead the league twice with 22 yards per reception. Perpetually in the top 10 in receiving categories. 33. Rafael Septien Emmitt Smith scores two less touchdowns and Septien's your franchise-leading scorer. 32. Jim Jeffcoat A quiet, hard worker. Never got the big headlines nationally, nor did he get the big sack totals. He didn't mouth off to opponents in the press. He played the game like it should be played. It's easy to forget that he was around for those first two Super Bowl teams. 31. Jay Novacek I don't remember the Cowboys signing Jay Novacek. I do remember his 1989 football card and his first year as a Cowboy. Otherwise, I don't know if the Cowboys really knew what they were getting. He was so ordinary and non-existent in St. Louis and Phoenix. Then he becomes one of the best tight ends in the game as a Dallas Cowboy. All six of his Pro Bowls and all NFL accolades came in his final six years wearing silver and blue. 30. Jason Witten Witten was good before 2007. But 2007 made him a superstar in the NFL. I can imagine him here for the next decade 'til he retires. 29. Deion Sanders Athletic and exciting, he brought all the glitz and glamour that is Primetime to the biggest stage of Dallas. 28. Larry Cole Very durable for 13 years playing in the trenches of the NFL through three decades. A remarkable number of touchdowns by interception (3) for a defensive tackle. 27. Don Perkins Really nice succinct career. His numbers never really dropped off. Consistent force out of the backfield for those early Cowboys. 26. Everson Walls Arguably the best cornerback in franchise history. 25. Lee Roy Jordan Thirteen years as a Cowboy, six Pro Bowls. Solid, solid linebacker. 24. Bill Bates What he lacked in physical ability, he made up for with hard work, determination and heart. When Bates intercepted Jim Harbaugh to seal the 1991 Wild Card game, it was the turning of a franchise's tide and a cherry on top of a fine career. He bleeds blue and silver as much as anyone. 23. Ralph Neely Renowned offensive lineman, who helped anchor those nice 1960s, 1970s teams. 22. Herschel Walker Walker gets knocked for just three seasons with the Cowboys (the 1996-97 seasons don't count) and only one really fantastic season. He's probably the best athlete Dallas has ever had. 21. Darren Woodson Compared to the Irvins, Williamses and Letts of those 1990s teams, Woodson was everything we loved about those teams. 20. John Niland Six Pro Bowls and annually considered one of the best in the league. Anchored some mighty O-lines on some good teams. 19. Harvey Martin Another local guy who was perpetually one of the best defensive linemen in the game. A Super Bowl co-MVP doesn't hurt. 18. Ed Jones Helped define the team when the NFL was becoming a top-tier sport and the Cowboys could easily be seen by millions thanks to cable and network TV. Just a monster on the line. If only he could've tipped Joe Montana's pass to Dwight Clark. 17. Danny White He's the type that slung it around so much you had to like him. He was the motor in those early 1980s teams. 16. Drew Pearson For the time, he put up gigantic receiving numbers for a series of Super Bowl-caliber teams. Some of his franchise numbers still stick even after 30 years of some nice offenses. 15. Tony Dorsett It's very important to denote the running game. The Cowboys have been a running team for years especially during their good years (1970s, 1990s, now). Dorsett was the second best back in franchise history. He was game-breaking, he was a horse. 14. Don Meredith Sure his stats speak for themselves and he was annually in the top 10 in the league in about every passing category, but it meant a lot that he was a local kid and he was so damn likable. The Monday Night Football stuff is gravy. 13. Bob Hayes He was TO before there was a TO. A killer game-changing receiver that just made you better. 12. Cliff Harris There were few defensive backs better in his era in the NFL. 11. Michael Irvin Someone should write a book about the triplets -- Irvin, Emmitt Smith and Troy Aikman -- and look into the roles they played for Cowboys fans. Irvin, I say, was the guts. He re-wrote the way receivers play the game and he played balls out. Other receivers just caught touchdowns, but Irvin just won 10. Larry Allen The best offensive lineman in franchise history on the best offensive line in history. 9. Emmitt Smith Did anyone else get the feeling Smith didn't want to be there? Maybe it's because he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. He always came off as aloof and spacey. The hold-out in 1993 just exacerbated this feeling. 8. Charlie Waters Between the stout playing career in the secondary and the post-career association with the team, he's a lifer. He's the type of guy that will make the top 10 of a lot of lists, including this one. 7. Chuck Howley Name me a better linebacker. Go on. Howley is all-Cowboy team, representin' those early years. 6. Mel Renfro A stalwart in the defensive secondary of some fantastic Cowboys teams. He made plays, plain and simple. 5. Rayfield Wright Let's see: Larry Allen on the left; Wright on the right. I don't think a defensive end would've breathed on a Cowboy quarterback if they played together. Also, one of the nicest guys around. 4. Troy Aikman You match the stats with the intensity, attitude and the indeliable ability to win and you have a modern hero of the game. He's as big of a cog in the success of this franchise as any other player. 3. Randy White The honors, stats, attitude, longevity and play speak for themselves. He's an active guy in the area. That mustache is as much of a team symbol as Crazy Ray or the star. 2. Bob Lilly There's tough, then there's Lilly. There's good, then there's Lilly. There have been hundreds of Dallas Cowboys. Most couldn't sniff Lilly's jock. 1. Roger Staubach He means everything. A no-brainer. Edited January 27, 2011 by Living the Dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'll preface this by saying that I didn't include anyone who played before the 70's, as not only wasn't I old enough to watch them play, I've never even seen enough highlights to warrant an opinion. Therefore, greats that I've read about, like Jack Butler (CB), John Henry Johnson (RB), Bobby Layne (QB), Ernie Stautner (DT), Elbie Nickel (TE) & Frank Varrichone (OT) weren't considered. Also, I went with the 3-4 defense, because I liked the defense I put together better that way. Pittsburgh Steelers DEFENSE: Cornerback Mel Blount Rod Woodson Safety Troy Polamalu Carnell Lake Inside Linebacker Jack Lambert Levon Kirkland Outside Linebacker Jack Ham Greg Lloyd Defensive End L.C. Greenwood Dwight White Defensive Tackle Joe Greene OFFENSE: Offensive Tackle Jon Kolb Larry Brown Offensive Guard Alan Faneca Sam Davis Center Mike Webster Wide Receiver Hines Ward Lynn Swann Tight End Heath Miller Running Back Franco Harris Jerome Bettis Quarterback Terry Bradshaw Kicker Gary Anderson Punter Bobby Walden Returner Rod Woodson Coach Chuck Knoll Toughest Omissions Dermonti Dawson © - He would make almost anyone else's team, but, I had to go with Webster. John Stallworth (WR) - It is tough to choose two between Stallworth, Swann & Ward Donnie Shell (SS) - Shell was great, but, I think Carnell Lake was under-appreciated because they never won it all Aaron Smith (DE) - Another guy who is under-appreciated. He has meant a lot to that defensive line for a long time. It was a tough call between him and White. Andy Russell (LB) - Tough to leave him off of the list, but, I think Greg Lloyd was well on his way to the Hall of Fame before tearing up his knee. Other Tough Omissions Ben Roethlisberger (QB) Casey Hampton (DT) James Harrison (LB) Joey Porter (LB) James Farrior (LB) Louis Lipps (WR) Mike Wagner (FS) Rocky Bleier (RB) Barry Foster (RB) Mark Bruener (TE) Eric Greene (TE) Bruce Van Dyke (OG) Bill Cowher (Coach) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) MN Vikings DEFENSE: Cornerback Bobby Bryant Carl Lee Honorable Mention: Antoine Winfield Safety Paul Krause Joey Browner Linebacker Matt Blair Scott Studwell Jeff Siemon / Wally Hilgenberg ?? Defensive End Carl Eller Jim Marshall Honorable Mention: Chris Doleman, Jared Allen Defensive Tackle Alan Page John Randall Honorable Mention: Keith Millard, Kevin Williams, Gary Larsen OFFENSE: Offensive Tackle Gary Zimmerman, Ron Yary Honorable Mention: Grady Alderman Offensive Guard Randall McDaniel, Ed White Honorable Mention: Steve Hutchinson, David Dixon Center Mick Tinglehoff Honorable Mention: Matt Birk Wide Receiver Chris Carter Randy Moss Honorable Mention: Ahmad Rashad, Anthony Carter Tight End Steve Jordan Honorable Mention: Joe Sensor Running Back Chuck Foreman Adrian Peterson Honorable Mention: Bill Brown, Robert Smith, Ted Brown Quarterback Fran Tarkenton Honorable Mention: Kramer, Culpepper Kicker Fred Cox Punter Greg Coleman Returner Percy Harvin Coach Bud Grant Admittedly, I was born in 1975, and don't remember watching Vikings' games until the early 80's. So, for some of the Minnesota fans who have been around longer than I, feel free to chime in. A couple of comments: - Seems like a pretty solid roster, at most of the offensive positions. Moss is in the top two WR's, no doubt, based on numbers alone. If I go with my heart, it's either Rashad or Anthony Carter. - On defense, I'm not sure you'll find a stronger all-time defensive line, especially the defensive tackles... Page, Randall, Williams, and one-time NFL Defensive POY Millard as honorable mention. That's tough to beat. On the flipside, linebacker and cornerback are VERY weak. Safeties are pretty solid... Krause is the all-time INT leader (in NFL history), and you could make a highlight video of Browner's one-handed tackles alone. - For return guys, there haven't been any true studs in recent history. Darren Nelson leads the team, all-time, in KR yards, but never returned a kickoff for a TD. Leo Lewis leads in PR yards, and had one return for a TD. David Palmer leads in combined return yards, and had three combined return TD's. Buster Rhymes has the coolest name. I'm going with Harvin, who in just two seasons, has already tied Palmer with three touchdown returns. Edited to fix "I'M A TOOL" Eller and Lee.

no one Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 Harvey Martin over Too Tall at DERodger over Troy at QB Danny White at Punter And there is no way Im putting a child molester in my All Time Starters, sorry no Septien at K Also not sure I put in 4 OL from the 90s team. I think Id consider Ralph Neely over Nate Newton I also think you have to get Everson Walls in there, he wasnt better than Deion, but Deion didnt play here that long. Martin or Too Tall -- Rodger or Trop = Nice problems to have Danny at punter ... I'll never forget the sack that knocks him silly and he wobbles back to punt ... shank! Septien ON THE FIELD is the second all time Dallas Cowboys scorer. We have had a few others that could go in at OL Neely def fits the bill. Everson was one of my all time fav Cowboys but Deion is HOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Colts. My criteria is what they did w/the Colts, not career (obvious for some it's the same).

SheikYerbuti Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 PKVandy. Yes Vandy, the stupid idiot kicker, despite a big miss or 2. No other Colt PK matches him overall. IIRC, it was "liquored up kicker", which is one of the all time great Manning lines. Better than any commercial or SNL skit he's ever done.
