I long for the day when our D-line can wreak as much havoc as these guys :flagwave:

That list is a sham. No Taco or Shante Carver.

JJ Watt seems a little insane at #7

It’s difficult to understand why Martin and Too Tall aren’t in Cowboys Ring of Honor.

He’s OLB in a 3-4, probably not the criteria

Strahan, Doleman, and J. Taylor ranked higher than Haley is a joke. If you are stats guy, I guess you would think the rankings make sense. Crucial games and at crucial times in the game, I would line up Haley above those folks any day.

TOO TALL & BIG HARV :bow:

RING OF HONOR...PLEASE AND THANK YOU :thumbup:

Yeah, Haley was a freak. Used to regularly beat triple teams.

IMO, Haley is top 5 all time. And I don't even like the guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leaving DWare out makes the list completely stupid. DWare is easily top 10 all time.

kskboys · Apr 5, 2020

Does anyone else hate these frickin' lists where each has a pic and it takes forever to go through it? Just show the dam list.

cowboyec · Apr 5, 2020

Jacob Green and Dexter Manley would've made my list some where.

They have LT or DT either. Im guessing they didnt add 3-4 OLB's.

Gil Brandt's lists are terrible.

I was thinking Ebenezer Ekuban.

John813 · Apr 5, 2020

Haley seems too low on the list

JoeyBoy718 · Apr 5, 2020

Should really just do EDGE and include pass rushers. Not including 3-4 OLBs is stupid.
