    I liked James Washington too. I still have a big memory of him in the playoffs against the Eagles in Texas stadium when he knocked Via Sikahema's lights out on a punt return. That was my most favorite hit in all of football.

    He wasn't called 'Drive By' for nothing !  He picked up this nickname because of his special teams hits !!!
    DOMINATE IN 08 !!!!!!

    Go 'Boys !!!!

    PS. Giants Suck !!!

    I think DD Lewis still holds the Cowboys record for most playoff appearances. I don't know the number but he's played in a bunch and held the record for a long time.

    I mentioned #26 Preston Pearson in my original post.  He was a good all-around back for the Cowboys and one of my favorites from my childhood memories of the 70s.  I remember I thought it was weird that the Cowboys had Preston and Drew Pearson, the Rams had Jack and Jim Youngblood and the Browns had Greg and Mike Pruitt... and NONE of them were related.

    I remember when Eugene "The Hitting Machine" Lockhart was traded to the Patriots along with David Howard and Ron Francis.  I was kind of upset, but then the Cowboys took Russell Maryland with the #1 overall pick and he helped anchor the defensive line that won the Super Bowls.

    Poor Lockhart got stuck on one lousy Patriots team too.  I remember he was blocking on a punt and the punter hit him right in the groove-thing with the ball.  Nice hangtime there punter... whoever you were.

    Lee Roy Jordan. Why the heck isn't this guy in the Hall of Fame. Take a look at some the linebackers that are in there. Lee Roy played in 186 games. He had 32 interceptions and returned 3 for TDs and 16 fumble recoveries. He is my  favorite player of all. I liked watching Lee Roy, D. D. and Dave Edwards play as a group.

    Issiac Holt #30 -- part of the Herschel Walker trade.  I don't know if anyone remembers this, but in 1990 the Cowboys were falling to the Bucs.  Vinny Testaverde backed up and threw a pass to the flat that was intercepted and returned for a TD by Holt.  I say this play was the one that inspired the entire emergence of the Cowboys in the early 90s.  It seemed like that was the spark that ignited the dynasty and they played like they BELIEVED they could win from then on.

    Rember? Heck yeah i remember.  I was at that game.  I remember the Bucs taking the lead and getting the ball back and thinking they don't come back very well.  Ike took care of that for me. I remember how gracious the Buc fans were by not throwing solid things at me, they threw like paper wads, crunched up styrofome cups and such instead of the usual beer bottles or rocks.

    Tony (Thrill) Hill #80 -- not really an obscure player, but often overshadowed by Drew Pearson and Butch Johnson.  Hill caught many great passes including one in that huge comeback against the Redskins at RFK in the 80s.

    It's still the greatest Cowboy catch i've ever seen, how he reached out and snagged it one handed, and never broke stride. if i remember correctly, it was the opening monday night,  we were down 28-3 at half time and came back to win 31-28. 

    Gonna pass on Teauge, got a little different opinion of the whole star thing.  Some of us think respect is learned and can't tell fact from opinion. 

    Don't care if they tape us, they can know what we're gonna do, they won't be able to stop it.
