James Washington was straight thug on and off the field. I remember reading somewhere that Charles Haley would mess with most guys on the Cowboys squad, but he was scared of Washington. I think Washington grew up in South Central, Los Angeles or maybe Compton.

Haley wasn't afraid of Nobody. Dude once went into Eddie DeBartolo's office and took a whiz on it. That Dude was crazy, he wasn't scared.

That's not the report I heard when it came to Washington. I'm going to see if I can find it.

This is what a poster (bsheern) said of a Haley encounter with Randy White.

Here's a story that never gets old. The Randy White/Charles Haley night. This Comes from Jody Dean that was there this particular night.

"To Randy. As he'll admit, he used to fight ANYBODY back when he was drinking. Haley came into Randy's place off Stemmons one night drunker that Cooter Brown. Rode his new Harley right through the front door. Jerry Jones begged Randy not to let him have any more booze. Randy went over to Charles and tried to ask nicely, but Haley stuck a finger in Randy's chest. Next thing we knew, Haley was on his back - out cold. They loaded Charles in a cab with a couple of Cowboys front office people, and sent him home - still unconscious. The best part was watching Randy and Mark Tunei pick that bike up and throw it in the back of a pick-up truck - and I mean THROW it. Not sure where they took it, but Haley never rode it again that I know of.

Charles did have some serious clinical issues - and as fierce as he was on the field , he always was something of a chicken---- off it. Last time I saw him he was on meds, and had ballooned up to about 350lbs."

He filled in for My choice Ray Donaldson when He was injured if I remember correctly, started in the SB against Pittsburgh and played well.
Donaldson took over at centre when Step left and the line didn't miss a beat.

Yes, he played in 94 then retired in 95 around the start of camp, IIRC. Then they called him during the season after weeks or months of sitting on the sofa. Then he started the rest of the season all the way to the super bowl.

He could have played longer and could have been an elite player if he had wanted to keep his weight down.

John Madden loved to talk about Kennard's large backside which might be the biggest butt in sports history.

Anyone recall, OT, Flozell Adams? Really big OT -- he ruled the left side for a long time. Jim Jeffcoat was another who deserved more credit.

I see lots of great answers in here. I didn’t read through all five pages but one name i didn’t see on page one is Chad Hennings. His pressure on Neil O’Donnel forced the pick that sealed the game. Always loved that guy and his game.

Jay Novacek. Guy was a huge part of our success. Other then that I would say the defense has a whole. Absolutely monsters.
