Trying to weed out the best six was a task. The Cowboys historically have had a lot of great linebackers.

Try to run the ball up the middle against these guys. (Photo by Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)Įvery opposing quarterback on the schedule would immediately retire rather than face this rotation. Defensive EndĪNAHEIM, CA – 1985: Defensive lineman Ed “Too Tall” Jones #72 of the Dallas Cowboys during a 1985 NFL game against the Los Angeles Rams at Anaheim Stadium in Anaheim, California. Plus he was a threat to run or pass at any time.īetter yet, he's a nice emergency fourth quarterback in case Staubach and Aikman get knocked out and Romo breaks his collarbone again. While Dan Bailey was rock-solid for a few years, Septien was a steady presence on special teams for a lot longer. Not too many kickers stayed on the roster for multiple years in Dallas. But if you get a chance, check out some of the games from the 1960s and 70s. Most modern-day Cowboys' fans will easily recognize Wright, Smith, and Tuinei. These four moved defensive lines like they weren't even there. How would you like to line up against Allen and Martin, have them pound on you for a few drives, and then get relived by Scott and Nye.īetter have plenty of ice baths up and running after the game. I want that leadership in the middle of the line. But his career was cut well short by his illness.īoth Stepnoski and Fitzgerald anchored lines that collected four of Dallas' Super Bowl wins. I know a lot of people are asking where Travis Frederick is. They both have the rings on their fingers to show for it. The team's all-time leader in receptions and yards made some iconic plays during his time.ĭuPree and Novacek were no slouches in that respect. It's a shame Witten never even saw a Super Bowl in a Cowboys' uniform. Dallas won the preseason game, 3-0, played at the Oakland Coliseum on Aug. Tight Endĭallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten was injured during this tackle by two Oakland Raiders defenders. Hill was overshadowed for most of his Cowboys career, but he made some huge plays for Dallas over the years. He's third all-time in receiving yards for the Cowboys. Each of them made memorable catches during their time in Dallas.įor those wondering how Hill made the team there's a simple explanation. These six would give defensive coordinators nightmares. Newhouse was not only a great blocking back, he also led the team in rushing in one of his seasons too. The Moose was also a threat to score in short-yardage situations in his own right.

You have to have the guy that plowed the way for much of Smith's all-time best rushing yards. Mandatory Credit: Jed Jacobsohn /Allsport : Running back Daryl Johnston #48 of the Dallas Cowboys carries the football during the Cowboys 25-22 loss to the Arizona Cardinals at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona. The big problem would be getting them enough touches. The NFL's all-time leading rusher (Smith), the only player to win a Heisman and a National Championship in his last year in college, then win a Super Bowl as a rookie (Dorsett), and a living bulldozer (Barber). 22, 1992 at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, AZ. Running BackĮmmitt Smith eludes the tackle of Tyronne Stowe during the Dallas Cowboys' 16-10 victory over the Phoenix Cardinals on Nov. If I'm bringing in my QB3 I want a man who thrives in chaos under pressure. I grabbed Romo for QB3 because both Staubach and Aikman were concussion prone. Aikman was close to unbeatable in the playoffs. Staubach was almost automatic in the regular season. The only problem is trying to figure out who starts between Staubach and Aikman. Here's mine, be sure to leave yours in the comments below. Sure, it's only useful in the old Strat-O-Matic board games, or in video games that allow for building custom players. While that outcome won't be settled for two months, what better time to come up with an all-time Ultimate 53-man Cowboys roster to field in a single game? At stake? Who will comprise the final 53-man roster that opens the season in New York.
