All-Time Underrated Dallas Cowboys team

[jobberone]

lol is that good or bad? I know I'm missing people. and I should change TO because he isn't underrated- I was thinking more of "forgotten Cowboys greats"

Yes.

 

[BAT]

I like your changes. And this is what is great about being a Cowboys fan... what other teams have had names like these that are forgotten about? You could field a Super Bowl championship team with the names on our 4th string all time team

Perkins may not be underrated but he is nearly forgotten. So was on the fence between Herschel and Perkins.

Feel free to sprinkle some Ron Springs & Raghib Ismail in there.

Awesome team

 

[CaptainCreed]

I think Greg Ellis deserves a little love. Everybody throws around the WE COULD HAVE HAD RANDY MOSS but he was a ten year starter and pretty good player.

 

[Hostile]

Awesome team

I changed one.

 

[the_h0wey]

You have some weird definitions of underrated. TO? Flozell? Lett?

I agree. Who has ever underrated the Big Cat?

I think some people have a bad taste in their mouth with Ellis because towards the end of his time here he was a whiny little girl.

Frank Clarke and James Washington, nice! Would throw in Thomas Everett as well.

I like all of the 90's safeties, even Ike Holt

 

[HappyOnions]

LB: Bradie James

[RS12]

All the Dexter Coakley jokes have made me think about this, because Dexter was a terrific football player. But we've had several non-ROH, non-HOF players that I've enjoyed watching over the years so here's a team I threw together... how do you think this team would fare? These are players I've seen play so I can't speak to the Lance Rentzel's of the world. Of course this is not a full roster, so help me fill it in!

QB1- Danny White, QB2- Drew Bledsoe
RB1- Marion Barber III, RB2- Walt Garrison
FB- Robert Newhouse
3rd Down RB- Preston Pearson
TE1-Doug Cosbie. TE-2
WR1- Terrell Owens
WR2- Tony Hill
WR3- Terry Glenn
WR4- Butch Johnson
LT- Flozell Adams
G-John Gesek
C- Tom Rafferty
G-Kevin Gogan
RT- Pat Donovan

Defense:

DE-Jim Jeffcoat
DT-La'Roi Glover
DT-Leon Lett
DE- Tony Tolbert
MLB- Dat Nguyen, MLB2- Randall Godfrey
OLB-Dexter Coakley ,OLB2-Vinson Smith
WLB- Bruce Carter, WLB2- Darrin Smith
CB1-Dennis Thurman
CB2-Kevin Smith
CB3-Orlando Scandrick
SS- Roy Williams
FS- Michael Downs

P-Mike Saxon
K-Chris Boniol

Where is Jay Saldi, Billy Joe Dupree, John Niland, Jethro Pugh and Chuck Howley just to name a few?

 

[TTexasTT]

I say this knowing how good he was and known well but it seems his name never gets mentioned these days.

 

[lane]

My bad.....the Washington game in 83 when they came back from 20 something down on MNF he was amazing in that.

that one handed deep td catch was a thing of beauty i tell ya!!

great throw as well.

 

[BAT]

I like all of the 90's safeties, even Ike Holt

Ike was big but he was a corner. And a heck of a special teamer as well. Had a knack for blocking kicks.

Yikes! Eb Ekuban? There was a reason he was underrated with Cowboys, was better with the Broncos.
