So glad Troy is in the HOF.
But i did not think he's elite, and he came away with some clutch NFC title games, but that 90's team more so rode the back of Emmitt Smith than Troy.

- during Emmitt's contract hold out, and starting the season winless at 0-2 the call out was ..... " we need Emmitt "

- in a game where all the NFC division and playoff advantage stakes were on the line at season's end vs NY Giants, the team rode the
back of shoulder- separated Emmitt. .. instead of Troy.

- in the Super Bowl where Troy was obviously still dingy from a previous concussion and off his game, the team again rode the back of Emmitt
en route to a back to back Super bowl win.

- Aikman came in the most handy when defenses boxed up, sold out vs the run, and Troy could sizzle the ball to Irvin, underneath in slants or over the top of defenses.
You are preaching to the choir, my friend..

I want to say Irvin or Troy but it has to be Emmit. He was the guy and every team that played us knew it.
You're absolutely right.. Every team knew [Emmitt Smith] and [The Great Wall] was coming for their throats, but they couldn't do a damn thing about it lol.. That is called TRUE DOMINANCE.

Note - If you didn’t pick only one player as asked, your vote wasn’t counted unless you made it obvious who you wanted. I did ask only for players, not Coaches, but went ahead and included Landry for those who only listed one name.

1st place (45 votes) - Roger Staubach out front and the runaway lead! Captain America Forever for anyone who lived and died with the 70’s team!
ATL-Roger-Staubach-1.ashx


2nd place (22 votes) - The overwhelming favorite for those who love the 90’s team memories and holder of one record that will most likely never be broken, #22 Emmitt Smith.
