Dallas Cowboys Trivia Thread

Oh and the other question about the tallest/strongest/biggest hands players in the 70's... first of all, Phil Pozderac was only 6'9", just like Too Tall. Second, I think the Poz started playing in '83.

And one last thing... Aikman was the leading passer in 89, someone said it was Pelleuer but one of the first things Jimmy did when arriving in Dallas was to trade him to KC...

Oops, I missed the part that said '70s. I remember Madden and Sumerall talking about Pozie being 6'-11". They always seemed to be talking about him since he was always being called for holding.

Tom Tupa is correct.

Blindzebra,

Are you talking about Charlton Heston? Didn't he play the Saints QB?

Was it Warren Beatty from "Heaven Can Wait"? Maybe not because I thought he was a L.A. Ram.

Warren got whacked by the Steelers in the Super Bowl.

Okay, I got another Trivia Question.

We all know Everson Walls has the record for the most Interceptions in 1 Season with 11 his rookie year.

I want to know the 2nd and 3rd Cowboy on the list, the number of interceptions they hauled in and what year they pulled in the 2nd and 3rd most Interceptions for a season.

Good Luck!!!!

Mel Renfro with 10 in 1969 and Everson again with 9 in 1985.

Troy Aikman
Roger Staubach
Don Meredith
Danny White

Which one threw the most INTs and which threw the least INTs?

I love my cowboys database, can come with all kinds of Queries .

Staubach threw the fewest, I don't know who threw the most though, my guess would be Danny White.

[Maikeru-sama]

Yep, Roger threw 109 Ints in his career.

Mr. Troy "8-ball" Aikman threw the most in Cowboys history with 141.

Okay, here is my next Question. Keep in mind the NFL didnt start to record sacks officially until 1982.

Out of these players, who had the most sacks and who had the least sacks?

John Dutton
Chad Hennings
Ed Jones
Tony Tolbert

- Mike G.

Too Tall had the most, and Hennings probably had the fewest.

Edit: If you're only counting the NFL's official sack totals, then it would have to be Tolbert with the most and Dutton with the fewest. But the Cowboys did keep sack totals before 1982, which is why Harvey Martin, Randy White and Too Tall are the top three in Cowboys history.
