I really feel for Everson Walls. He had two interceptions in the '81 NFC championship game and the Cowboy defense had 6 turnovers on the 49ers. Unfortunately, he was the guy defending Dwight Clark when ''The Catch'' happened. Like you said he was a ''true ball hawker.'' No one can argue with this list, total agreement.

When Walls won the Super Bowl with the Giants, it was Walls who made the Sports Illustrated cover. To this day, I believe they did that as sort of a make-up call for Walls’ previous SI cover.

[@aaronlopez492]

LC your approach on chosing the best defensive players for your scheme was spot on. Harris to some was a headhunter. To me he was a legendary and intelligent player who converged to his target with a purpose. 1. No one gets a catch for free. 2. Pain has a unique way of reminding us all " there's more to come" if you repeat your actions. 3. Every action in life has an equal and opposite reaction. A rule that when ignored has a definite impact on the naive individual. My homework today, is to catch up with a couple of videos I missed due to work. And as always my friend have a blessed weekend.🙏. PS; The boy's are going to need more power and speed in the backfield.

[@brockgeorge777]

Thanks for mentioning Thomas Everett. We played (and lost) to the smaller school Daingerfield Tigers team he starred for in high school. In 1982 he hit our starting QB so hard it put him in hospital and he almost died from a punctured lung. (Needless to say we lost him for the year.) Even *scarier* the next year, sans Everett, Daingerfield went 16-0 and easily won State3A title after allowing only 8 points (eight) all season long. And 6 of those were against our 4A District Champion that year and the other two on an *intentional* safety while mopping up the floor with us 35-2. Think of it. Only 8 points in 16 games all of them against larger schools and 2 of them optional.

[@aaropajari7058]

I could not be more proud of our DB tradition. Hordes of top level Corners and safeties.

[@deadlyoneable]

Great video, and I get what you are going for here…….but I’ve always had this thing with Deon sanders. Yes, he is one of the greatest, yes I see why he would be on this “best defense team”……but I’ve never really considered him a “real” cowboy…..but more like a hired hand, or mercenary. His time was split with several teams and any of them could claim him too. Maybe I’m being difficult here, but the most endearing players on this team to me, are the ones that spent the majority of their career with Dallas.

[@thelogicalcowboy]

@deadlyoneable I definitely see what you're saying. That's why he's not on my official all-time starting Dallas Cowboys defense.

[@drakulie]

Agree. No doubt Deion was phenomenal, but I never really considered him a cowboy.

[@richardcoronado4081]

Count in Darren Woodson. He's one of my all-time fav players on the Dallas defense, plus he was a Cowboy his whole career.

[@appollosharris6319]

Have to admit, that’s a dangerous secondary. My picks for the Front four Ed “Too Tall” Jones, Charles Haley, Randy white, Leon Lett.

"Weaknesses", lol? No, sir. Well done. Of course all those guys are on my All Time roster, and I like the scheme. Harris, Woodson, and Renfro bring enough physicality and range to effectively shut down the run even in a 4-2, especially in the modern era. I look forward to the next installment!

Another great video LC!!! You had me going there for a minute, I was like "Hey wait a minute, what about......."then BOOM you threw 'em in on me at the end. Downs, Bates, Waters, Thurman, K Smith, Larry Brown, etc. Bro, keep this content coming. I can't wait for the DL edition, and LB edition. I can actually remember some of these plays you feature in the film clips from the old days of the franchise. It helps because I have a lot of it on tape as well from 87 on.

[@cjtexas9646]

Great video LC!!! can't see any weaknesses! Lots of people forget about Mel Renfro he was definitely the Deion of his day just a hair slower and didn't mind laying the wood on people. He still leads Dallas in interceptions after being retired over forty years which says a lot about him. You going to have to have a good back up for Harris because he would be suspended in 2024 by game five for hitting people like he did in the 70s. Once again, awesome picks for an awesome video.

[@thelogicalcowboy]

@cjtexas9646 You are right! 😂 😂 once Harris is suspended. Then I'll switch out Harris with Renfro. And bring in Watters as the nickel flex db.

I can only imagine how good Thomas Henderson would have been if he hadn't been plagued by so many demons. He probably would have been enshrined in Canton.

[@stevemoore3951]

And no doubt maybe more post season success for Coach Landry. Cowboys never won another Super Bowl under him after Hollywood was gone. I definitely wonder what could have been if Hollywood and before him Duane Thomas had stayed longer in Dallas. I suppose we should be thankful for the time they were both in Dallas and each got to appear in multiple Super Bowls.

[@thelogicalcowboy]

@@komradkolonel I believe that he would have. Thanks for watching

[@SCO-96]

Landry showed up at a party honoring Henderson's 10 years of sobriety unexpectedly. He told Thomas and the audience that he handled him wrong & then remarked that Dallas could have won several more SBs if Henderson had remained with the team. Dallas didn't have a big playmaker at the LB spot during those painful NFC title game losses from 1980-1982. Hollywood probably would/could have made a big difference in those games

[@stevemoore3951]

@@SCO-96 I didn’t know Coach Landry did that. I’m glad he did. Hindsight is 20/20. His hard work and creative mind made the Cowboys the team with the highest winning percentage in the NFL since entering the league in 1960. That period between 1970 to 1980 was remarkable. We were blessed to have Coach Landry and players like Thomas Henderson and Duane Thomas.

@@thelogicalcowboy I always appreciate your videos my friend. That they would be a penalty in today’s game shows just how much the game has changed. It’s easy for people to just compare touchdown/interception ratio with today and yesterday’s QBs without acknowledging how much more protection has been given to QB’s over the years. In the 1960’s and 1970’s QBs and WRs had to fade a lot of injuries. I personally liked the heavy hitting but understand if it is to protect the players long term health then so be it. Keep it up !!

[@joshuahendricks7701]

Good list. I think Larry Brown was vastly underrated. Especially for being a 12th round pick. His was another career destroyed by free agency. Jeff Pearlman listed him as one of the 100 worst players in NFL history. A moronic position. You can’t claim that a 12th round pick who was a five year starter for a 3 time super bowl champion was horrible. He had an amazing 1995 regular season including TWO pick sixes in different games against the Eagles. He had 6 picks during the regular season and then his amazing playoff run including the Super Bowl. I think Dallas had the perfect corners for them. Larry never should have left. Russell Maryland didn’t want to either. Unfortunately Dallas couldn’t afford either with so much money tied up in Deion and Haley. Jeff Pearlman was just making one of those absurd “hot takes” to sound intelligent. Former Cowboys first round pick Rod Hill was a far worse player than Brown and a Huuuge disappointment. There’s no way he shouldn’t be on that list instead of Brown.

Renfro was great. He played on probably one of the greatest high school teams in history. His brother Ray and Heisman trophy winner Terry Baker was there too. I actually lived in the district of that high school but transferred out my freshman year for an academic program. That’s was 30 years after him though.

[@thelogicalcowboy]

@joshuahendricks7701 Yep. One of the greatest running backs in Oregon high school history! Was also a track and field legend.

[@joshuahendricks7701]

Yeah, we moved to Portland at the end of my freshman year. We moved from the small town we had moved to Dallas from. The funny thing is that little high school also had two NFL players who had played in the 70s. One was another receiver on the same team from the movie invincible. The other was actually a first round pick. That’s why I loved that little town. Football was everything there too. Much like Texas.
