Okay, so, I’ve been digging into this whole Dallas Cowboys thing, and I gotta say, their linebackers are something else. Seriously, I spent a whole afternoon just going through their history, and man, it’s a wild ride.
I started with this guy, Lee Roy Jordan. Now, this dude was a beast! We’re talking about a middle linebacker who played for 14 years! And get this, he was only 6’1″ and 215 pounds. In today’s game, that’s tiny! But back then, he was tackling everyone, taking on all sorts of challenges. I guess it makes sense, the guy’s name is Lee Roy, sounds tough as nails.
Then I stumbled upon this other legend, Chuck Howley. Apparently, he’s considered one of the best, like, ever. I watched some old footage, and yeah, the guy was a machine. It seems like no one could get past him. I saw some old games where he just dominates. It’s easy to see why he’s a legend.
And of course, I had to look into the Super Bowl wins. Five of them! I mean, that’s huge. They say it was mostly because of their offense. And a guy named Roger Staubach was mentioned, nicknamed “Captain America” or something like that. He must be a big deal. Age 82 and 4,522 votes? But, you know, good offense needs a good defense, right? That’s where those linebackers come in, making sure the other team doesn’t score.
I also found some mentions of newer guys, Sean Lee and Bruce Carter. They’re not quite at the “legend” status yet, but people are saying they could be some of the best in the future. I guess we’ll have to wait and see. You know how it is, new guys always trying to make their mark.
Here’s what I managed to put together after going through all this:
- Lee Roy Jordan – The tough, undersized tackler who played forever.
- Chuck Howley – The legend who dominated the field.
- Roger Staubach – Not a linebacker but apparently a key part of those Super Bowl wins, even at 82.
- Sean Lee and Bruce Carter – The up-and-comers, potentially future legends.
So yeah, that was my afternoon. Diving into the history of the Cowboys’ linebackers. It’s a lot of information, but it’s pretty cool to see how these guys shaped the team’s history. It’s like, without them, who knows if the Cowboys would have been as successful. They really are an essential part of the team.
