Strahan calls Erik Williams the meanest player

[davey999]

Fighting Erik Williams is a bad idea.

 

[Pacowboy1968]

The ultimate compliment for Big E is that the league rolled out the hands to the face penalty. Ask The Preacher about that.

might be a little tough at this point

 

[Zekeats]

LOL, he took a whipping everytime he faced the BigE.

Reggie got him a couple times too as he did everyone

 

[Roadtrip635]

Patrick said something to the effect that if they fought, White would have God on his side; to which Strahan responded, yeah, but Williams would have the Devil on his side.

I was listening to Dan Patrick this morning too, literally laughed out loud at that......

Big E would have been the greatest tackle of all time had he not been in that accident.

And I will die on that hill forever.

It sucks we didn’t get to see it Along with Larry Allen!! Would have been sick.

A tip of the cap to Jimmy Johnson for trading Steve Walsh the saints and using those picks to get Russell Maryland and Eric and Erik Williams.

Wasn't that Jerrah who did that?? He was really the master mind.

Check this video out... summarizes the matchup between the two.

I've searched for this high and low and can't find it. After the 95 NFC championship game Reggie White was doing a press conference and he was really mad. He was talking about how dirty Erik was and how he got a cut under his eye. He kept saying, "I'm mad about this game". I got a lot of respect for the late Reggie White but he was throwing a temper tantrum at the PC. I wish I had a video of it.

real men, real football

Let's listen to an all time Cowboy, and one of my personal favorites, discuss this.

He did but he won more than he lost, even Jordan missed a game winner here and there but you remember the winners more.

I watched R-White tap out of a game after going heads up with Williams! The announcer was giving Reggie all this love and saying how great he was as Williams was beating AND clubbing White on EVERY play. When the camera was put on White going to the sideline you could tell he was a beat man. I don't think he returned to the game, which was funny because he didn't have any injuries except for the pot marks on his head..................Ha-Haaaaaa!

Remember The BigE delivering a Bolo Punch to William Fuller of the egirls after the play was over. My fellow Co Worker (also a boys fan) the next morning he and I was crying all over our office tables laughing at the Big Nasty.

If you get a chance to hear Michael Strahan's interview with Dan Patrick from today, you should check it out.

He calls Eric Williams the meanest player he ever played against and says "The Preacher", Reggie White, wanted to fight Williams every time they played each other.

Fun to listen to.

Reggie White didn't really want to fight EW. It he wanted to do he would have done it.

Nobody wanted to fight EW.

Larry Allen bullied defenders because it was fun.

Eric Williams wanted to kill them and eat their children.

EW's own teammates were scared of him, especially on game day (per Darren Woodson).

I've heard multiple local DFW media people say that EW was standing behind Jimmy when Jimmy shoved Charles Haley into the toilet, flushed and said that's your career.
- It's well known that Haley avoided EW because there was zero chance that EW would tolerate his antics in the lockerroom.

I’d put my money on Williams. He was a bad ***. White was a Preacher.

Lyle Alzado thought he was the meanest man in the NFL

I think Tyler has that streak in him too.....the problem is that rules now are stricter and he can't get away with half the stuff Williams did. Williams wanted to punish his opponent, Tyler just needs to block/neutralize them. Not get flagged.

But yeah, Erik was one bad dude....

At his peak, Big E was the best OL ever to wear a Cowboys uniform. Unfortunately, his peak was cut short due to that horrendous car accident. I wore 79 in high school & college because of him. He’s one of my top 2 favorite Cowboys of all time, Haley being the other.

Reggie dud that everytime he faced Erik....they always showed him pouting on the sideline... was always a great battle..

Gogan and E. Williams were both nasty. The difference was Gogan was dirty, too.

Imagine an offensive line comprised of two Larry Allen's at guard and two Erik Williams at tackle.....

Center was our only weak spot.

Stepnoski was a technician, and was excellent... so... not as weak as you might think.
