cowboy mark....

ive seen your post here for a couple of days, there is just no way
i can pick 10 players from 40+ years of watching the Boys.

the more i thought about it i figured i could maybe pick 10 from each
decade even though for me thats still going to be hard.

and i have to tell you these may not be the greatest they are just the ones
i liked the most.

and after doing this 10 from each decade isnt enough, i feel like i owe
a whole bunch of guys apologies because i couldnt list everybody i liked.

and these are in no order at all...except Meredith, he is/was and will always be my favorite.

60's
don meredith
chuck howley
don perkins
bob lily
lee roy jordan
mel renfro
ralph neely
cornell green
bob hayes
dan reeves

70's
walt garrison
rayfield wright
larry cole
jethro pugh (had to get him in and ran out of room in the 60's)
charlie waters/ cliff harris ( i always think of them as one)
roger staubach ( right behind meredith for all time favorite)
dave manders
billy jo dupree
hollywood henderson ( in spite of his screw-ups)
preston pearson ( the original 3rd down back )

80's
danny white
tony dorsett
drew pearson
ed too-tall jones
everson walls
robert newhouse
dennis thurman
jim jeffcoat
mark tuinei
randy white

90's...this is impossible..the team roster could be listed here as far as i am
concerned, but im trying to stick to 10.

troy aikman
bill bates
michael irvin
nate newton
emmitt smith
daryl johnston
leon lett
mark stepnoski
russell maryland
erik williams

*** george teague gets a mention for you know what !!
** dale hellestrae gets a mention for years of not worrying about bad deep
snaps.
* one star for our hired guns..deion sanders and charles haley
cause yes they did make a difference and i ran out of room.

and yes i know i left off ken norton jr, kenneth gant, jay novacek,
kevin gogan, alvin harper, chad hennings, tony tolbert and way too many
more to list. this was not a fair request !!

2000's

larry allen
darren woodson
flozell adams
dat nguyen
greg ellis
la'roi glover
roy williams
jason witten
terence newman
julius jones

i reserve the right to change this as the decade moves on....
