You get one former Cowboy for both offense and defense, go.

LA and Haley

We need some nasty

Exactly what I was thinking. Allen would take our OL to the next level and play anywhere on the line except center. Our running AND passing games would improve. We need a great pass-rushing RDE who would bring a nasty, confident attitude to this D. Allen and Haley would help this team A LOT. If not Haley, then Ware in his prime. Ware doesn't bring the nasty attitude like Haley, but he's probably the best pass rusher in the history of this organization.

Staubach and Lilly.

A few thoughts: I don't think I saw a single LB in anyone's reply. That's pretty interesting. Does it reflect the fan base belief that this team is set at LB or is it an indication that we never really had a dominating LB corps? How about Chuck Howley, D D Lewis (and Dexter Coakley - you know, for trade bait).

The safety question is a good one. Definitely a weakness right now on this team with a lot of question marks. Woody was a dominator, but no love for Charlie Waters?

Yeah Ware is probably the best pure pass rusher in the history of our team. But I agree, I'd sacrifice skill for a little nastiness to strike fear in opposing QBs.

Haley is a catfish also that I think the locker room of RKGs could benefit from. If you haven't seen the movie or heard the quote, this is what I mean by "catfish".

"They used to tank cod from Alaska all the way to China. They’d keep them in vats in the ship. By the time the codfish reached China the flesh was mush and tasteless. So this guy came up with this idea that if you put these cods in these big vats, put some catfish in with them. And the catfish would keep the cod agile. And there are those people who are catfish in life. And they keep you on your toes, they keep you guessin’ they keep you thinkin’ they keep you fresh. And I thank god for the catfish, because we would be dull and boring if we didn’t have somebody nipping at our fin."

Which two Franchise greats do you think could help this team right now.



Give me Larry Allen and Bob Lilly.

Maybe Emmitt and Harvey Martin. Tough decision.

Give me Troy and The Playmaker. The perfectionist and the motivator. Troy did not take any excuses and Michael did not take anybody that wasn't all in.
