Cowboys we really didn't get to know

Reggie Collier.

I would give you 1000 likes for this one. I was at Cowboys camp when Collier came out the USFL. He was ahead of his time and confirmed Landry was headed to senility.

Scott Laidlaw, had a few great games with the Boys in late 70s then he just disappeared....don't even know if he ever caught on with another team after Dallas..

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

One of Michael Irvin's Favs.

Can you guys think of others while we wait in boredom for the Draft?

Que in the guy, yeah, you, that guy. "I hate the off-season."

 

[plasticman]

During the pre-internet days of the Dallas Cowboy Weekly, the greatest publication in the history of mankind, they had detailed biographies of almost every Cowboy.

I remembered them all. Nowadays I can't remember were I put my car keys.

Ebenezer Ekuban
He is distinguished as being the first Ghanaian to play in the National Football League.

Matt Johnson
Devonte Holloman
Charles Tapper

Yup...we gave up on Tapper to quickly...but then again....he's done nothing in the league. Maybe his injury just ruined his career.

Jesse Holley celebrating like he won the damn super bowl with that play.

Gotta grab your moment when you can!

Matt Johnson has never left my heart. He'll have a lasting impact on me. Same goes for Chad Hutchinson.

It seemed liked only one week of training would pass...then Mart Johnson would get injured. That went for three preseasons.

Back in the very late 80s early 90s I had this gf and we'd go to her neighbors house for bbqs occasionally and he had a subscription, I'd pretty much ignore the convo and read those.
Now you hear about news in minutes that you'd probably never know about back then

Danny Amendola. Laurent Robinson(only 1 year)

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Billy Cannon Jr, 1st round pick LB, who suffered a severe neck injury the following year which ended his career at age 23.

 

[windward]

My answer is always Carl Pickens and Quentin Coryatt

 

[mrmojo]

Robert Shaw, had potential to be a great center but had career ending injury.....

 

[eromeopolk]

The reason why Landry got fired and the Dallas Cowboys went down the drain in the later 80's....
Robert Shaw (knee)
Mike Sherrad (given number 88, broken leg)
Jesse Penn (4.55 40 yd time, neck injury)
Billy Cannon Jr. (4.45 40yd time, neck injury)
Kevin Brooks (another Michigan DL 1st rounder let go)

All these players had Pro Bowl level talent out of college. Flashed but injuries ruined everything.

Yeah and every preseason we were getting our hopes up he could be a player. Then first day of camp he'd pull his hamstring in pre-practice stretching and then be "day to day" for the rest of the season.
