You mean when he finally had players around him? No way, Roy says he just wasn't trying. Gotta be it.Well, he did have a MONSTER one in the SB… as a Bronco

Haley played next to studs, but that's not a factor.I'll take Haley. He was nasty and he played best when the games meant the most.
Ware was more talented though.
No danger of anyone mistaking ware being in the SB with DallasWell, he did have a MONSTER one in the SB… as a Bronco
Does the current DL have 90 collectivelyTo have 9 guys with over 90 sacks is downright filthy.

You wouldn’t believe the biggest nugget they uncovered. Check out this Bombshell:
Purple People Eaters
8th / Alan Page / 1967-1981 / 148.5
18th / Carl Eller / 1964–1979 / 133.5
22nd / Jim Marshall / 1960-1979 / 130.5
Ladies and Gentleman, the greatest D-line of all time.
OUTSTANDING WORK!!!!Recently, Statistic-accumulating website ProFootball-Reference went on the arduous journey of combing through old film and play-by-play scorecards to count all sacks made by defensive players all the way back to 1960.
The reason is because today, only sacks made after the 1982 season are officially acknowledged by the NFL. They haven’t even bothered to research what happened prior to that season. However, since some of the greatest pass rushers who ever lived were at the ends of their careers or outright retired at that point, PFR wanted to rectify the disservice to the older players. For instance:
The greatest season in NFL history, unofficially, was by Arizona Cardinals rookie Al Baker, who amassed 23 sacks in 1978. Strahan’s faux sack of Favre in 2001 never mattered, because it still wasn’t enough. Al Baker started crying when he heard the news.
What won’t come as a surprise to many, Deacon Jones now has monster year after monster year in sack totals on his career stat sheet. He’s third all-time only behind Bruce Smith and the Minister of Defense (unofficially).
But! The meatiest part for you guys: Randy White, Too Tall Jones, Bob Lilly.
Dallas Cowboys all-time Sack Leaders
(career totals may include stats from additional teams)
Name - Sack Total - NFL Rank
Demarcus Ware - 138.5 - 13th
Harvey Martin - 114 - 32nd
Randy White - 111 - 35th
Ed Jones - 106 - 39th
Jim Jeffcoat - 102.5 - 49th
Charles Haley - 100.5 - 52nd
George Andrie - 98.5 - 57th
Jethro Pugh - 96.5 - 63rd
Bob Lilly - 95.5 - 68th
For me, this is incredibly interesting. Hopefully some of you feel as rewarded as I do by their hard work.
I liked Haley But Ware was better
While I find this interesting and appreciate the work...........it's about dang time!

Ill take Haley over Ware all day and every day. Haley, although he had less sacks overall would get that big sack when we needed at key points in big games. He was an emotional leader on the defense. Had that edge and put people in place in the locker room when needed.
Not even close. Teams feared Haley.
To be fair though, he did play on some teams that had "other guys" who could wreak havoc which helped him. Ware didn't have as much of that.
The only real knock on Haley when he got to Dallas was he wasn't healthy. He only played one full season in Dallas. Even in 1995 he missed the last 3 regular season games and first 2 playoff games. Did play a big role in the Super Bowl game though. But as far as impact goes and making big plays and setting the tone for that defense, you are correct. Even though he didn't have the stats for the 92 and 93 seasons he was a big part of that culture change.Ill take Haley over Ware all day and every day.
