You're correct.
Late 60s / Early 70s: Howley, Jordan, Dave Edwards
Mid to late 70s: Lewis, Breunig, Henderson, Hegman
Early 90s: Dixon Edwards, Jones, Norton, V. Smith, D. Smith

If Clark heals and produces, this linebacking trio could be amongst these great sets of linebackers. So many Cowboy fans today just do not realize and appreciate how good these units are/were. They all have rings to back it up also.
That was a sweet trip down memory lane!
Thanks for posting!

Tell you what, at the very least this team may be getting really good at properly pricing a rebuild project with tremendous upside.
We used to reserve the 2nd round for that right to stake our claim.
A 5th on Clark will be a steal Risen and a soon to be fan favorite, just trust me on this one.

If Williams and Ridgeway can be legit and Clark can return to form, this defense has a chance to be legit in 2023.

A lot of ifs but the potential's there to have a better front seven than they've had in many years.

I actually think Ridgeway might be the steal we got late. That dude can push the pocket. Super impressed watching him play last year.

100%

Like you said, if Clark can come back at full strength he really changes the LB group. Kazee leaving is an addition through subtraction. Hooker exceeded my expectations and should be even better another year out from his Achilles injury. Donovan Wilson shouldn't be slept-on too; dude was an absolute playmaker in 2020 and struggled through injuries last year.

I think the one big question I have is the availability of Joseph.

What a steal this guy will be if he can get back to form.
Totally agree, @Risen Star !

I believe there are going to be several "steals" to come out of this year's draft:

1) OG/OT Tyler Smith being taken late in the 1st round...will prove he should have been taken earlier.
2) DE/Edge Sam Williams most definitely after being taken late in the 2nd round.
3) WR Jalen Tolbert will surprise from the start of the season as he starts for Michael Gallup until he comes back from injury.
4) TE Jake Ferguson will prove to be much better than a late 4th round pick.
5) DT/NT John Ridgeway will prove to be much better than a late 5th rounder and the missing piece to help stop/slow down opposing teams' rushing attack up the middle.

I agree completely. Wish Jones and company valued the LB and safety positions the same way we do.....

Damone as far as comfort goes, wait until the peak of summer when the cleats and rubber soles on your foot gear will melt.

It's all about the mental reps and working toward getting on the field. Keep plugging away, rook.

Taking a 5th round flyer on amed case is a much better prop than when they use the 2nd round... its a good risk for the reward.

..this promo does well, with smart players. If you don't have them, then adaptation for newer video is best.

Watch this one be a fan favorite in no time Joe.
This pick gets the Typhus over the fishing limit guarantee..
Cowboys will have an elite level defense in a very short time frame,, I will gladly eat my words if Im wrong.
