Can't be quarterback: name one Cowboy player from the past you would put on this current team

[tyke1doe]

I'm trying to avoid the endless Dak debates, though I might just be fooling myself. So, you can't pick Staubach, Aikman or any other Cowboys quarterback. Aside from that, which past Cowboy player and his position would you team with this offense or defense.

Me? It's a tie between Charles Haley, Erik Williams, Larry Allen and Emmitt Smith.

I gotta go Emmitt Smith. His durability, reliability and productivity at the running back position would make us a better balanced team and even more dangerous offensively. I'm okay with the pass rush, and although I'd take an upgrade on the offensive line, I think we can get by with the line we have, provided Tyron Smith returns.
However, the lack of a running game concerns me. And I believe we'll have to lean more on that in the playoffs.

But that's my take. What's yours?

Bill Bates.

Definitely Larry Allen. Line him up next to Tyron instead of Connor Williams and this OL would be dominant. If not Larry Allen then Tony Dorsett. I loved watching him run.

 

[MarcusRock]

With the defense ballin' today I'd say an OL legend or Herschel Walker. His build and speed would translate to today and he'd be challenging Derek Henry for best in the league.

Offense = Larry Allen
Defense = Darren Woodson
Special teams = Dan Bailey (before his injuries)

Bill Bates.

Can't have enough of guys like him. Massive overachiever.

 

[Streifenkarl]

Neon Deion. Imagine two of those ball hawks. The airspace would be shut down completely lol.

 

[Cowpolk]

The Bullitt

Provided I have a healthy Tyron, I would think adding Randy White to our interior DL with these rushers....could work out well lol.

Although inserting Larry Allen at LG could be ok also!

Interesting topic.

 

[G2]

Witten.

 

[D4KADON]

Larry Allen along with Tyron Smith and Zach Martin

oh my god

 

[StuckMojo]

I think I would go with Deion on defense

 

[nightrain]

Can't go wrong with ES. He changes everything for the offense.

Larry Allen is my back up.

I somehow forget my favorite all time player when I give my answer lol.

 

[TheGoat73]

Larry Allen. Easy choice.

 

[JayFord]

Larry Allen

 

[Hagman]

Bob Lilly

And we shut down the opponent's run game, and may the gods have mercy on their quarterbacks.

 

[JustChip]

The Manster. Second choice is Leroy Jordan.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Larry Allen for sure is what we NEED

Bob Lilly could work

Chuck Howley

 

[Ranching]

Randy White was my pick, but it was taken. With this team I would choose Darren Woodson.
