Who was a forgettable Cowboys player you'll never forget?

[Supercowboy1986]

Ebenzer eckuban.

I'll never forget that name.

I used it for a pick and roll play we would run when I played in the intramural league during my freshman year of college. We were champs that year. Lost second round in playoffs my sophomore .

Thomas Everett. Only because he went to the same high school as me. Graduated just a few years ahead of me.

You're misinterpreting the topic. It's about "forgettable" players that you can't forget, meaning not very good players. Kelvin Martin was a pretty good receiver/role player who made some impact plays like the one you pointed out at Candlestick.

And my point is proven in this thread...that no one.....I mean absolutely no one....mentioned him in 10 freaking pages. The guy is forgotten...

He wasn't mentioned because he wasn't "forgettable." He was a good player. A player like Jackie Smith was "forgettable" with the Cowboys because he was a player we want to forget for obvious reasons but we can't forget.

Victor Butler. Only got a few snaps here and there but always seemed to make a play. But just not good enough to take over a starting spot over Ware or Spencer. For a few years after he left I kept seeing 57 in preseason and thinking of Butler.

Aww man... I thought of someone but then I forgot who it was.

 

[revospeed]

Lynn Scott.

 

[punchnjudy]

Clay Shiver
Stepfret Williams

For some reason, I'm thinking of Robert Lavette. He was always so good in training camp and preseason. He could never break through the lineup.

Larry Allen

Randy Hughes, Oklahoma. Great potential , next great safety, but injuries caught up with him. Had a great SB against Denver.

 

[punchnjudy]

Couple more:

Antonio Anderson
Solomon Page

I wonder if any of these lesser known guys people are mentioning have posted here before?

 

[robbieruff]

Rod Hill...the symbol of our numerous 80's top pick downfalls...which paved the way to Landry's exit.

 

[mrmojo]

Vinson Smith, he actually started at LB in SB 27.

 

[Melonfeud]

Lance Rentzel

I remember he stayed with the single face mask bar that only kickers had kepted installed on their helmets, I'm thinking I recall watching him rip off a huge gainer on a end around once,also.


I'm seeing very few names that are not unfamiliar to me, 3 or 4 I've never knew that they played pro football or sacked groceries ,,,,

Bobby freakin Carpenter...

talk about a waste from the word go... I think Bill Parcels said it best "I thought I was drafting his dad, I drafted his Mom..."

Ive never heard this, when did he say that.

For me it was Mike Jenkins because I will never forget the time he intentionally whiffed on trying not to tacked that gnats running back on that run play in the red zone. I never liked his approach to the game. I always thought my boy OScan was better than Jenkins and I caught hell on this board for making that known.

98 percent of the board thought there was no contest. That Jenkins was the superior CB... I stayed all up in my feelings about OScan running circles around Jenkins and look who has stood the test of time...

Screw Mike Jenkins. I'll never forget how his lame butt had this board frothing at the mouth.
