Didn’t Randy White play linebacker
He backed up Lee Roy Jordan for a couple years then Bob Breunig beat him out, another guy that should be considered for the Ring of Honor. White moved to DT and became a hall of famer.

Actually it was just the opposite. He moved from defensive tackle to linebacker

Cowboys have 16 people in the HOF and zero of them are at LB.
Not saying Parsons is a future member, just alittle surprising.

This is not the teams fault for lack of HOF players. As there have ben some worthy of the HOF. But it is a fan agenda thing I guess as to not having a good defense for the last 20 years.

Nope, White played DT his entire starting career in Dallas. He never moved back to LB. He was a 9 time all pro DT.

You guys need to stop it. Dexter Coakley will be there just you wait!

the first two seasons he was tested at the middle linebacker position but he didn't develop into a superstar until his third year, when Coach Tom Landry shifted him to the starting right defensive tackle.

Dallas is the new USC- Linebacker U. When you don't know what do do draft another linebacker.

HUH?

so what was Lawrence Taylor? Derrick Thomas?

If you put your hand in the dirt, you're a DE.
If you're standing up, you're a LB.

C'mon Mike, this a day one stuff, buddy... lol

Actually, White was a DE at Maryland.
They recruited him as a FB.
Imagine what damage Randy White could've done as a FB.

Jabril Cox is the 2nd best LB in the history of the team.

I'm not counting Anthony Spencer as a LB.
I think you're forgetting a man named Dexter Coakley

If we would have traded him in his prime we would have gotten 3 firsts, a player, and cotton candy.

Chuck Howley has been passed up for years. It’s a shame on the HoF voters.
