First team
Bob Lilly
Randy White
Harvey Martin
Charles Haley

Second team
Too Tall Jones
Demarcus Ware
Jethro Pugh
La'Roi Glover

Underrated team
Greg Ellis
Jay Ratliff (before he went nuts)
Tony Tolbert
Jim Jeffcoat

I'm sure I forgot somebody obvious, but I did this in two minutes. Russell Maryland comes to mind.

I always wondered what kind of super human careers could Randy White, Harvey Martin, Too Tall could have had if they had played in a pressure defense, instead of Landry's flex defense.

The hardest part of this exercise is coming up with a starting RDE: Haley, Martin, Andrie all deserve top billing. One can also consider Ware, but when I think of the all-time Dallas Cowboys defensive line-up, I have Ware as a pass rushing OLB.

LDE- Too Tall Jones
LDT - Randy White (moving the Manster over, keeping Lilly at RDT)
RDT - Bob Lilly
RDE - Charles Haley, narrowly over The Beautiful Harvey Martin

Key back-ups

DE - Martin, Andrie, Tony Tolbert
DT - L'Roi Glover, Jethro Pugh, Leon Lett, Russell Maryland

Other than possibly the Rams (Merlin Olsen, Aaron Donald), I can't think of one NFL team that can produce starting DTs as great as Lilly and White, not even the Steelers or Vikings.
