We talk quite a bit around here about how long we’ve needed some major help in the secondary. I’m old enough to remember what is easily the greatest secondary in Dallas Cowboys history. In fact, this group unbelievably included 3 NFL HOFers.
Between 1970-72, the Cowboys secondary was manned by HOF CBs Mel Renfro and Herb Adderly, and HOF Free Safety Cliff “Captain Crash” Harris, and 4 time All Pro SS Cornell Green, who should at the very least be in the ROH. (Green btw, never missed a single game for 13 straight seasons. One of the toughest Cowboys to ever wear the Star)
Those guys had a whopping 163 interceptions between them. Absolute greatness. Sometimes we forget how many absolutely great players this franchise has had.
