Twitter: Vanilla Gorilla wants to break necks

[nathanlt]

Is John Ridgeway from Manilla? The thrilla in Manilla, the Vanilla Gorilla.... he's a killa....

Ok, I'm done. <insert puking icon here, it's gone from the list>

The league needs more player nicknames. I like it...

My favorite Cowboys player nickname of all has to be Ed "Too Tall" Jones, he lived up to his name.

Who's your favorite Cowboys player nickname of all time?

Manster- Randy White

 

[Motorola]

Let's hope he's more Vanilla Gorilla and doesn't end up Magilla Gorilla.

A Hanna-Barbera cartoon show from waaay back when...it was created and aired a few years after Cowboys Franchise was founded!!! (1963 to 1965)

Kenny = The Shark

Manster- Randy White

Dandy Don - Meredith
Too Tall - Ed Jones
Bullet - Bob Hayes

I like his spirit and fervently hope he's able to retain it, so that others might follow his lead.

The team that we've had in the past would definitely do well to assimilate that kind of attitude.

Assuming an aggressive way of playing the game would be infinitely preferable to being timid.

 

[Stash]

Hope so, we need some tenacity on the DL.

I agree. We need more ‘fight’ on both the offensive and defensive lines. And based upon early reviews, that’s likely what we’re getting from Ridgeway as well as first rounder Tyler Smith.

 

[Stash]

I love this. No more RKGS!!!!

We’re finally rid of the milquetoast coach, so now we’re finally seeing a much-needed change in drafting philosophy.

We were clearly more talented than the 49’ers team that beat us in the playoffs, but they had more dawgs willing to go out there and fight for it.

Ultimately, that was the difference in the game. We were ‘outfought’ and out-physicaled on both sides of the ball. I’m glad that the people in charge finally see that.

Vanilla Gorilla.....Al Lorenzen is on the team?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Lets see who gets that one

 

[OGCowboy]

I like the nickname...

Kenny The Snake Stabler was a fav....

 

[nathanlt]

Really though.... How about "Big Bad John" Ridgeway.. From a good old country song way back when.

Every morning at the mine you could see him arrive
He stood 6 foot 6 and weighed 245

Too big for that song. Lol

He should've started a military press routine months before that day.

Maybe he can serve up a few Thrillas in Manila.

Yup they came in and punched the private school kids in the mouth

In today’s NFL “Roughing the passer # 94 John Ridgeway” ….

I agree.

I can't get out of my mind that pre-game camera shot against the 49ers when the Cowboys actually looked scared, while San Fran players were loose and ready to rumble.

It had to be the most embarrassing scene I have ever seen pre game.

Saw that too.
I immediately thought "Uh oh, we're in trouble".
