Agree or Disagree?Everson Walls was best CB in Dallas ever

[juck]

I think he was.The man picked off more balls than should be legal.Deion was great too but not Walls.

 

[jobberone]

Not even close. We have a HOF CB and Herb Adderley played for awhile. That's in two seconds of thought.

Hey dont forget about Mel Renfro

But Deion was the best

 

[FCBarca]

I think this is ludicrous as a question...Walls, people seem to forget, wasn't a great cover corner...He got burned a lot but did have a knack for the INT...Not sure how anyone could ever make a legitimate argument that Deion wasn't the best cover corner ever for Dallas, even in the short time he was here.

Deion was the best in Cowboys history.
And the best in NFL history.

Walls is pee-wee league in comparison. And unlike Deion, Walls never caught passes, either.

Walls was a good corner, but everytime you watch the replay of "The Catch"....

Also, I tend to remember one of his last games here. Troy got knocked out and threw a long TD to James Dixon. I thought we won the game thus we played prevent. Next thing you know the Cardinals win the game on a long throw. I was soo pisseed.... I was also cursing at Walls....

That was the play that Jimmy and Everson got into a heated arguement over. Still to this day....

Jimmy then let Everson go.... but to the eventual superbowl champs (Giants).

Mel Renfro.

 

[DaBoys4Life]

I think Deion was

 

[Mansta54]

I luv Walls, he's a TRUE COWBOY but PRIME was the best without a doubt..

Deion didn't have the highest int numbers because they didn't throw in his direction. He literally took away half the field.

He may not be considered the best Cowboy CB because a lot of people will look at him as a hired gun.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Deion was the best and if you didn't want to give it to him it has to be Renfro.

 

[QT]

Actually, I prefer Kevin Smith over Walls. The Kevin Smith before the achilles.

 

[Nav22]

If you have an intense hatred for Deion Sanders and you allow that to cloud your better judgment, then absolutely... Everson Walls was #1!

If you're unbiased, it's not even close. Prime Time was a freak.

 

[Don Corleone]

I'll never forgive Walls. He looked lost while Dwight Clark was reaching up to catch that pass known as "The Catch". That play washes away all the good things he did before.

Walls was great, Deion was super. Deion forced teams to play on one side of the field and once Deion had the ball the guy was as dangerous as any CB I have seen

That's absurd. How long is a DB supposed to cover a guy? Walls was still with his man after Montana's drop back, scramble roll out, desperation heave toward the end line that required a fingertip catch by Clark...and it's all on Walls. You know, the rookie that in that game had 7 tackles, three deflected passes, two interceptions, and a fumble recovery?

Sure.

1. Deon Sanders
1a. Mel Renfro
2. Kevin Smith (when he was healthy...before Deon)
3. Everson Walls
4. Herb Adderly (the Dallas years)

I agree and face it, it took a great leaping play by Clark to come down with that pass.

 

[kmd24]

Walls was my favorite player when I was a kid, but he's not the best Cowboy CB ever.

I might be wrong, but I don't think that Clark was Everson's man, I think he got away from Ron Fellows.
