Creating the all-time Dallas Cowboys 53-man roster: Offense and Defense

[Blackrain]

I'm going to say it's a pretty accurate list my only revisions would be Pearson over CD lamb.

Bob Hayes in today's NFL would be absolutely incredible to watch and could not be covered with today's rules he would continually draw pass interference.

Roger staubach's leadership quality and ability to run with the football elevate him above aikman
No one in the NFL thought any lead was safe with time left on the clock and Roger Staubach in the game.

I guess I just can't let go of that bad pass he threw to a wide open Jackie Harris in the end zone in the Super Bowl.

No. It's a grudge that should never wither....with those stakes on the line you have to wedge it in the face mask

 

[gtb1943]

That’s Smith

you can tell who was not around to watch that game

 

[erod]

I would have put in Jay Novacek instead of Witten.

No.

 

[erod]

Aikman was a better playoff QB than Staubach.

Erik Williams pre wreck was better than Tyron Smith.

No, he wasn't. He didn't even play left tackle. But he was better than Rayfield Wright before the injury.

Tyron was the best tackle in Cowboys history.

This should create some discussion.

Defense

that is one scary offense.

CeeDee Lamb starts over Drew Pearson????.

 

[Blackrain]

No.

I might have put in Mike ditka before either one of them but I'm not sure didn't see enough of Mike ditka to make an accurate assessment but he was a good tight end

Ditka was past his prime when he played TE for us but still a very good player

That wasn't a bad pass. It hit Harris in the chest. Harris tried catching it with his pads and not his hands. Staubach took the blame but video doesn't lie.

There are other things I can point to in that game that ticked me off, like the ref blocking for Franco, or the phantom PI against Benny Barnes.

T.O. Needs to be on this, he’s top 3 all time… I’d take Hayes out for him.

T.O. was a mercenary, not a true Dallas Cowboy.... doesn't qualify, especially since he desecrated the star to promote himself.

guys it was Jackie SMITH as has been mentioned SEVERAL times in this thread.


He was falling backwards and Staubach put it right there, Smith has said that time and again that he blew it not Roger. Anyone watching that video and claiming otherwise if full of crap

 

[TwentyOne]

Was Jay Ratliff better than La'Roi Glover? I honestly can't remember.

Glover was way better.

Come on stop that nonsense.

You have issues with the person. Thats fine. But step out of your own big egos shadow. Not everything is about your feelings.

The guy was a great player. 2nd best wr all time. And he produced big time for us. There was never an issue with him when he was in DC. Heck Dez created more problems for the team than TO.

No... he stood on the star and mocked all Dallas fans to promote his ego.... Yeah, he's done.

C'mon stop that nonsense. TO is not close to 2nd best WR all time. You have a crush on the player, that's fine. But step out of your own love ego. Not everything is about your feelings.

Ellis was a good player, but Jeffcoat was a better DE.

Good list, though, only disagree w/ a few. Meredith over White.

Very creative using my answer and copy & pasting it.

Rest does not need an answer. You are to full of yourself no place for other views.

CeeDee Lamb starts over Drew Pearson????.

I would take Dez over CeeDee. Dez has heart. Unlike CeeDee who gets pushed in the back against GB in the Playoffs and does nothing. Soft.
