I had always thought that Landry had stashed White as a LB just to keep him on the team that first year. He definitely played lights out on the line. Every time I see a picture of him today, I think he still might be able to play. Probably only situational now though.....

I don't understand what you mean. Dallas drafted White as the #2 overall pick in 1975. He was going to be on the team no matter what.

6'4"? Never knew he was that tall.

Mike, you missed a great decade of football in the 70's is all I can say. Some great players and exciting teams and games. Honestly it was kind of a golden era and the Cowboys always made for great TV. Did not have the number of great athletes that exist now but I think the game was fundamentally better played than it is now. Not nearly as many "me first" athletes with their hand out and mugging for the cameras.

70's were awesome, pretty much each of the 6 divisions had 1 dominant team
miami, pitt, oak, dall, minn, rams
there were other teams who snuck into post season here and there - kc, wash, clev, balt, sf

it gave so much gravitas to the playoffs
