News: DMN: The five best Cowboys defensive linemen of all time, ranked: Other than QB, is this

[lurkercowboy]

The caption on the Haley photo is incorrect. Haley did not retire after the 1994 playoff game against the 49ers.

I stopped reading once I didn't see Demarcus Ware #1. Maybe they don't consider Ware a lineman but rather a LB?

Me too.

I expect Ware is going to sign back here for a final season

 

[jobberone]

Bob Lilly, Jethro Pugh, Willie Townes, George Andre, Larry Cole

No school like old school.

 

[Tractor1]

It's difficult to determine who was the best, but a rotation of Lilly, White, Lett, and Casillas on the inside with Haley, Martin, Jones, and Tolbert coming off the edge sure would be something to see.

1. Peppi Zellner
2. Antonio Anderson
3. John Nix
4. Devonte Coleman
5. Michael Myers

Pretty sure that's the case

 

[Chuck 54]

Yup. He's ranked #2 in their LB rankings behind Howley.

Chuck 54 ... still my favorite Cowboy.

 

[Q_the_man]

Cowlishaw would put Aikman as the greatest Cowboys QB of all time. I guess someone has to be the tool

It's a relatively slow week so this is welcome IMO.

Lilly gets my vote and all listed are worthy although I soured on Ratliff.

Yeah, having Ratliff even mentioned among those names seems like sacrilege.

 

[noshame]

Lilly
followed by too mean

how the hell is Harvey Martin not in the Hall of Fame?!!?

How is Harvey Martin not in the ROH?

I'm sure Jerry would agree with you. LOL!!!

 

[TheHerd]

Ratliff?

 

[pugilist]

Bob Lily

<huge gap>

the rest

 

[BourbonBalz]

I agree with the top five they have, but not the order. For me, it's as follows:

1). Randy White ( I know most will have Lily here, but I prefer Manster)
2). Bob Lily
3). Harvey Martin
4). Ed Jones
5). Charles Haley

Tyrone Contract has 12.5 sacks in his career. How is he not on this list?
