Guys like Too Tall and Martin spoiled me early in life when I was first introduced to football. I thought every guy with size and speed could play defensive end and pressure quarterbacks throughout entire games. Then I grew up.

If they had a record for batted down passes Too Tall would hold that record.

If they kept track of sacks...Martin would be in the HOF.

That's possible but he's not even in the Cowboys ROH.

also nice having the Manster (Randy White) blowing up double teams in the middle.

JJ needs to recognize the players prior to 1989. He and Randy White were the dominant forces on the Cowboys defense in the 70's, early 80's.

Randy White overshadowed Harvey Martin. Had Martin been the sole MVP of SB XII that would have done more for his career than to share the award with Randy White. White was the dominate force of our Doomsday defenses.

Which one was that? I think I missed it.

Is Too Tall a HOFer but for the boxing distraction?

Shoot...I am going to have to find that one to stream...loved that show!

My brother was actually in the costuming dept for that show when it first launched and I got to visit the set (this was back in the late 80's).

Thx!!!
