Anybody remember Thurman's Thieves?

[GimmeTheBall!]

Now that the Boys are causing turnovers....
In 1985, these chaps Dennis Thurman, safety Bill Bates, safety Michael Downs and corners Everson Walls and Ron Fellows, in no particular order, were Thurman's Thieves. But blimey! Who are the others?

As I recall they were just an adequate crew despite the costume drama.

I know Dexter Clintscale is one of the others. Would have said Benny Barnes but he was gone in 84.

Clinkscale, Victor Scott, Vince Albritton.....don't know how the heck I knew that....

I remember that Landry masterfully revamped the secondary for the 81 season.

Not sure when Thurman came into the mix. Was definitely around then.

Loved Michael Downs. Underrated.

Jesus, talk about overreacting. The Dallas Jerry’s beat up on three of the worst teams in the league.

Think he meant that secondary could get interceptions in there sleep without drops.

Bates is best remembered by his "Kick Butt" t-shirts he marketed --- during a Super Bowl year in which he spent most of the season in IR!
