this is the same list i would put up exactly.. And in the order you mentioned them. You mentioned Pugh and Wathers as well, which came to mind as well. Great work as usual bro
What makes it even worse is the fact that they'll probably induct him into the HOF now that he is no longer alive. If I were him and I was resurrected, and then I found out that in my death, I was finally inducted into the HOF, I'd be upset about that. I would like to have received that honor while I was still alive. At least allow me some time to enjoy the moment. Why wait until I'm dead?
I would add Erik Williams. In 92, he became a starter and rhat when they started winning Super Bowls. In fact the whole 90s offensive line belongs in the Hall for carrying the triplets to the Super Bowl.
100% agreement. I remember back in 74 or 75, we were gathered around the tv watching the Cowboys. I cannot remember who we were playing. It was a goal line stand. The running back took the hand off and dove over the O line. Jordan came running from the end zone and dove over the D line. They had a head on, mid-air collision. It was like a Mac truck hitting a butterfly. Jordan knocked him back into the backfield. Everyone in the room let out, in unison, a giant oooooohhhhh! It's all we talked about in practice for a week. Everson walls was not a corner. He was a ball hawk. Corners play the receiver and ball hawks play the ball. Corners are defensive and ball hawks are aggressive, offensive, pirates. Woodson was the best of both Jordan and Walls. Jones and Martin were yhe best bookends in NFL histoy. The hall of fame really ought to be held accountable for their failures. Great video! Thank you!
Agreed! I believe a lot goes because of a hatred for Texas. Cowboy's label, America's Team? Who knows. There are a lot of Cowboys and simply, players born in Texas and playing high school and college in Texas that will never be HOF.
One of the biggest obstacles (besides the obvious voter bias for the HOF) for Walls, Martin and Jones is that they aren't even in the Cowboys Ring Of Honor. I think that really hurt Bob Hayes and Drew Pearson taking forever to get into HOF because it took too long to induct them into the ROH. All these anti-Cowboy writers that have votes can just use the excuse, "He's not even in the team's own ROH so why put them in Canton?" Somebody REALLY needs to get Jerry to rectify that. I was hoping that Gil Brandt could've been an influence, but look how long it took Jerry to put Gil in the ROH.
Jordan's held out for a better contract which caused a long time rift with Tex Schramm. Tex was a an old fashioned guy and was a notorious cheapskate when it came to paying the players (but he spent lavishly on frills that he liked). Landry was the "yes sir" military man as long as Schramm left him alone with team on the field. Later, in the 1980's, the Dallas "salary structure" caused a lot of morale problems particularly when playing the highly paid (and therefore loyal and motivated) Washington Redskins, SanFrancisco 49ers, and others. Tex hamstrung Landry big time.@@cliftonconnor9389
People forget that Everson Walls won a Super Bowl as well when he went to the Giants in 1990 as a safety. For the Giants he was a great pick up. I think with Too Tall him leaving the NFL for boxing for a year left a bad taste in a lot of people. For Harvey Martin, that's just insane that from the mid 70's up to the early 80's he was the most feared defensive end. Winning defensive player of the year and having all those sacks. I think his drug use kept him out so far. For Darren Woodson, that's the crazy part why he's not in the hall. 3 Super Bowl wins, and being a good that could be played anywhere as a linebacker and as a safety is beyond me.

What's even worse to me than the fact that these 5 guys aren't in the HOF is that Jones, Martin and Walls aren't even in the Ring of Honor. Think about that one for a second, even within the Cowboys organization those guys got snubbed. And given how petty Jerry Jones can be on the one hand and how long it's been since those guys retired it's extremely unlikely that they will ever be added to the ROH. It's a downright crime as far as I'm concerned!
Jerry Jones is the kid who takes his football and goes home because he's mad and knowing it's the only football there ,big spoiled baby brat sure he's been this way his entire life 🙄..
Oh they won’t! They weren’t Jerry jones players. In order for them to get consideration they’d have to make the HOF… I’d Walls has the best chance because of Landry’s men he’s come the closest.
Great assessment. Too Tall absolutely belongs. And Lee Roy Jordan? Far and away the #1 candidate for HOF. He was a little smaller in size but played BIG. And he played at a high level in more post season games than any linebacker that I remember. When you look at linebackers in the HOF, it is absolute travesty that Jordan is not there.
The HOF does seem to constantly overlook Cowboys. I just remember at one point I was reading the All 70's team, and only two players on that team at the time weren't in the HOF - Drew Pearson and Cliff Harris. This was in the 2010's I read that list.

Having been a Redskin’s fan, I hated the Cowboys…because they were good. Nowadays I could care less but I really enjoy watching the channels that show highlights of games and/or players and appreciate their talent and contributions to the game. I really enjoy the decades of the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s.
Man, I love you videos and the information you provide. So thorough, Jerry needs to hire you! I don't know if anyone provides the information that you do. Bravo!
I feel bad about having nothing unique or smart to say but GREAT VIDEO!!!!! once again! i can't argue with the list and I'm happy to say I watched all those guys play as a child/teen ager and young adult. Everson Walls is way overdue, and I remember how happy I was for him when the Giants won that Super Bowl. Hopefully Woodson will get in this year. Jerry needs to at least get Charlie Waters into the ROH just on his post season deeds alone. Waters has more post season starts in his career than Jerry has post season appearances in twenty five years....
To me Harvey Martin is the biggest snub, the only players of the all decade team (1970's) not in HOF, his 1977 season might be the greatest season by any player ever imo. Great stuff as always.
Great excellent Dallas Cowboys Every one who is a old old old school Cowboy die hard fan we know hall of fame forever go cowboys cowboys rolling down the with a super bowl victory 🎉🎉
I'm not surprised these GREAT players aren't in the HOF. I think it has to do with a deep dislike for the brand, together with unhealthy doze of envy of "America's team". LC thank you so much for this unexpected Christmas treat. Have a wonderful Merry Christmas surrounded by your loved ones and a healthy and prosperous new year. 🎄🎉🎊
Dallas isn't the only team to have players snubbed. Off the top of my head, I can think of two players, Randall Cunningham (briefly a Cowboy) and Roger Craig that belong in the Hall of Fame. I do think the entire 90s Cowboys offensive line belongs in the Hall for carrying the triplets to the Super Bowl.
Great list, arguments, and presentation. I especially agree strongly with #1 and #2. Those should be the top priorities for Dallas HoF induction, Jordan senior and Woodson modern. Other legitimate candidates include George Andrie, Cornell Green, Don Perkins, John Niland, Ralph Neely, Herschel Walker (unique case focusing on APY), Mark Stepnoski, Erik Williams, Nate Newton, and Jay Novacek. Your top 5 list is solid though.
Yes, that is a great list. Dallas would dominate the HOF if all was fair. Everyone of the guy you mention were better players and in more big games than many current HOFers.
I'm not a Dallas Cowboys fan. I do remember those 5 great players that have been snubbed. All through the 1970's I was a Minnesota Vikings fan. Well actually I really liked to watch Fran Tarkenton's creative will to make inspired drives to the end zone. So that lets you know that every time the Cowboys eliminated the Vikings in the playoffs... I had a bad day. Because of those great Dallas Cowboys players, those tremendous efforts for a trip to the Superbowl made watching them a pleasure. Those 5 great Dallas Cowboys players really do deserve to be in the NFL Hall of Fame.
I think this is the best channel on RUclips…and yes absolutely agree . With exception of Jordan I watched all these guys play and they all belong in HOF.
SF 49ers running back Roger Craig is the biggest snub ever! Three time Super Bowl Champion, the first RB with 1,000 yards rushing and receiving, all decade team of the 1980s, two time All Pro, 4 time Pro Bowler, 1988 OPOY!
I totally agree on your selections.In the 1970s and 1990s Dallas's back ups could start for most other NFL teams.Wishing you a very merry Christmas 🎅🎄and a happy New Year.
True. Look at Jimmy Smith in the early 90s for proof. Barely plays for Dallas, mostly special teams, then makes 5 Pro Bowls with the Jaguars. Announcers called Randy Hughes, the Cowboys backup S in the late 70s, the 3rd best safety in the NFL, behind starting Cowboys Harris and Waters.
@troyc4250 I think the more intriguing question is, *Can* Dallas beat Miami? I think they can. Quinn's scheme is made for passing offenses like Miami. Miami leads the league in 2.1 pocket time, so their scheme is not an explosive downfield offense. They typically rely on YAC yards. If we tackle, we should be fine. Believe it or not, I'm worried about their run game, if anything. It looks like we can't stop the run, but that's not true at all. Yes, Miami is 2nd in the league in rushing YAC after contact, but believe it or not, Dallas leads the league in not missing tackles. They are 13th in the league in yards allowed per carry. It's not an elite defense vs. the run, I'll say that. But there are about 12 other teams who are worse. Dallas is 14th in rushing yards allowed. But because our passing defense is so deadly in pass rushing and coverage, teams will try and run the ball. So what do you do to teams who will try to use that as a weakness on our defense? On offense, score points. This game is going to come down to Dallas dictating the flow on their side of the ball by getting a lead early. What this will do is force Miami to take chances down the field, which is something that they hardly ever do. They are currently ranked 26th in the league in intended air yards. And if they do throw down the field, that means their league-leading 2.1 pocket time for Tua is going to increase due to longer routes. Trust me, they don't want that because Parsons is going to get his wish. If Dallas is going to win this, it's going to come down to how our offense plays vs. their defense. Not the other way around. Sorry for the long post. I probably should have done a video on this, lol.
Man this is a GREAT VIDEO! I met Harvey Martin when i was a little boy in the children's hospital. I instantly became a Cowboys fan ever since. Its a damn shame none of these great players are not even in the Ring of Honor as well as the Hall of Fame.
I definitely agree with you 100 % about this list. I'm deeply surprised that Leroy Jordan is not in the Hall Of Fame. I do believe that this year will be the year for Darren Woodson though. He should have been in over 20 years ago! Every single player on this list needs to be voted into the Pro Football Hall Of Fame immediately!
I really thought Leeroy Jordan was a HOF’er. They finally let Chuck Howley in, to bad his condition prevented him to attend. These 5 need to be considered, no bias, just true stats show how great they were to the game
Somehow, I missed this video 5 months ago. I totally agree with all of these snubbed HOF players. Top of the list Too Tall Jones. I watched film where Too Tall deflected passes and resulted in defensive TDs by Jeffcoat against the Giants and the Rams (I think). All of these players bring a warm feeling to my heart as part of my SE Texas upbringing and my Dad's undying love for the Dallas Cowboys, which inevitably, I share to this day. I sincerely hope that one day we will be able to overcome the decades long curse that has pervaded our Cowboys from reaching that ultimate pinnacle of Super Bowl Champion, even though it seems not to be such a great achievement in this sad modern day. I won't go on about that, and I praise the motivation of today's athletes in their quest for greatness. Keep it up people, keep striving to be the best. We have seen what a whole team of the best can accomplish. Even as a Dallas Cowboy!!!
Thank you for this great video! I was an NFL and especially a Cowboys fanatic from 1976 to 1981 then just pretty much dropped off. But I will never forget the feeling of hearing Pat Summerall calling a Cowboys game on a Sunday afternoon. Some of the best memories of my childhood. And Harvey was my favorite player. Watching him harass QBs and RBs was pure bliss. For me Harvey stood out which was to say a lot considering teammates like Staubach, Dorsett, Drew, Randy, Hollywood, Cliff and Charlie. And FK the Cowboys franchise for omitting Harvey and Ed and Everson from the ROH. Embarrassing. Sorry to end on a downer but that’s just ridiculous. Thx again!
Fantastic list. I got to watch Too-Tall, Bates, and Woodson. Jones was really special though -- the only line-backer who could be completely held back and still make the play with his height and those big paws. Just awesome.
Great list. I agree with all 5, I would rate Woody and Harvey as my top two but all are worthy. I started watching the Cowboys as Jordan was retiring. I knew he was good but had no idea he had that many interceptions.
Absolutely correct on those five!!! There should be a great deal more than those as well. My dad worked for the Cowboys as the visiting team clubhouse manager from 1961-1996 and we have seen some players in our lifetime. The Cowboys have long been a non favorite of the hall of fame voters who prefer brown nosers like howie long and many others.
I agree with that list. I believe Jay Novacek, Darryl the Moose Johnson, Nate Newton, Erik Williams, Mark Tuina, and Mark Stepnoski were also snubbed from the HOF. Why only one offensive lineman from what is considered the greatest O-line of all time was inducted into the HOF is beyond my comprehension. I was about to say that there was a bias against the Dallas Cowboys but then I reviewed the top teams with the most HOF inductees. The Dallas Cowboys are in a 3 way tie for 3rd place all time with 32 players in the HOF. Just shy of the Packers at 33 and the Bears at 37. In light of this information it's hard to make such a case considering that the Packers and Bears have been around since the birth of the NFL and the Cowboys have been around since 1960. The two teams tied with the Dallas Cowboys are the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins. They also have been in the NFL way longer than the Cowboys. So it's rather impressive for the Cowboys to be that competitive with teams who have been around for a much longer time period.
About half those players primarily played for other teams. There was a strong anti-Cowboys bias in HoF voting from around 1980 through the mid 2000s. Until 2006 Dallas only had 5(!) primary players in the HoF. But it's true that a good amount of Cowboys have been inducted in recent years, making up a lot of lost ground. The Cowboys should have more in the HoF than other teams because they've been more successful and have more great players than other teams. So, while I don't think the current snubs are travesties yet the way Howley's, Pearson's, and Harris' exclusions were, as long as the top guys on this list are inducted eventually, it's likely that without the bias some like Jordan or Woodson would already be in.
Man I'm old timer I became a cowboy fan when I saw Roger throw a football ( all my friends were Steelers fans) but my fav cowboy of all time is Walls I saw him flip over the back of a wr running curl and make the int it was the most amazing play I ever saw to include obj's one handed catch
It's a shame. Those men were top notch players of many exciting games. Players who didn't celebrated in the in zone like players of today. They earned and deserved a place in the Hall of Fame.
You can easily make a case for every one of these guys especially Too Tall and Everson Walls. The thing I used to think of when Walls was in his first two years was how did all the other teams that drafted ahead of us pass on him? It was like with Larry Allen in that if people had known how good he was going to be both of them might have been the overall #1 pick.
back then Dallas did a very good job of drafting players from small unknown colleges. Gil Brandt is the grandfather of modern day scouting. Ed Jones and Everson Walls both went to HBCUs. Brandt was a forward thinker in the 60s and 70s. scouting at black colleges. so if the other teams weren't sending scouts to HBCUs then they probably didn't thing these guys were going to be good. Larry Allen went to a college that doesn't even have a football team anymore. Sonoma St. We would call Allen Walls and Jones diamonds in the rough. But the schools and people who watched them play already knew these guys were destined to be special players.
Great list. Too Tall didn’t get tons of sacks, which probably hurt him, but b disrupted passing lanes better than anyone. Also played the run better than most ends.
They finally put they original 54 Chuck Howley in and the original 88 Drew Pearson in and about time. I agree with your list, but like you said, those other players are deserving as well. Crazy how disrespected Cowboys players are when it comes to the HOF.
I agree wholeheartedly with this list. These are absolute snubs. I still don’t know why Ed “Too Tall” Jones has been snubbed. I even thought that Walls was inducted, but how can he not be? This is beyond ridiculous! I know people say that Woodson’s time will eventually come, but I also thought that about Charlie Waters, who I believe would have been #6 on this list. The inane arguments against Martin is bull. The claim he wasn’t dominant enough long enough is a false excuse, and the one about Jordan is insane too, claiming that he didn’t get selected because of the time he played, which coincided with the times of other great middle linebackers like Dick Butkus, Ray Nitschke and Sam Huff. Those are false excuses because for years they maintained the reason against Drew Pearson before he finally got elected is because his numbers did not match up with the numbers put up by receivers since then that have been due to the many change in the rules to promote a passing game and to protect quarterbacks and receivers against the brutal hits he endured and still thrived in when he played. This is a great list and I appreciate it. Thanks again for your brilliance.
Bravo!! Great list. You could have done a top ten oe even 20 and still been on point. So many that deserve to be HOF. But how this list isn't in can only be contributed to the haters.
I had no idea Woodson wasn't in the Hall. I didn't know who Martin was due to my age, but Woodson was the best secondary player in the league for several years; including Sanders. Teams were able to game Sanders. No team ever gamed Woodson.
Harvey Martin ABSOLUTELY belongs in the Hall of Fame ! 1977 NFL Defensive Player of the year ! ( How many Cowboys ever won that award ? Answer 0 ). CO MVP of Super Bowl XII , All Decade Team of the 70’s ! SERIOUSLY!! 🤷🏽♂️
Charlie waters is on my top 5 ,woodson ,Ed too Tall Jones ,Harvey Martin, Jethro Pugh ,Billy Joe Dupree ,Tony Hill ,Williams offense tackle , Tony Romo ,Dez Bryant offense top 5
Thank you for doing your homework, totally agree with list, and I'm not a Dallas fan!what a D line that was, Jones, Martin, white, now I know why they won the championship!! what's the saying a Great defense will win you a championship!! not sure how true that is, its definitely a big part but every championship team had some type of great QB with an OL to go with it!! no doubt!! That list needs to be looked at, and I'm sure your not the only one saying this,, but ty again great stuff!
@@thelogicalcowboy It hard to believe, really is, if you play that video for the elite who vote on Hall of Fame, they should be ashamed of themselves!! idk just my opinion!! But the proof is right here! Thanks Man ,, really great call!!
I did not know Jordan held the interception record for a linebacker. I just thought he earned it for being the best hard-hitting and mentally tough linebacker of his time.
This sort of points out what I already suspected. The HOF is really more a popularity contest, and conversely there are some guys in the Hall who don't belong there.
Iam asking all hall of fame voters to put this group of Dallas cowboy players in the hall of fame. It is because of these players why the game is play the way the game is play today. They change the not only for their team but for the NFL.
The biggest reason is that they played for the Cowboys. Point...blank...period. The hate is so strong. But Kurt Warner is in and he only played for a short time.
EVERSON WALLS IS THE ONLY CORNERBACK IN HISTORY TO LEAD THE LEAGUE INTERCEPTIONS 3 TIMES!! The greatest Ball hawking Cornerback in history!

Edit ,sorry that was Chuck Howley.My bad.
To me Harvey Martin is the biggest snub, the only players of the all decade team (1970's) not in HOF, his 1977 season might be the greatest season by any player ever imo. Great stuff as always.
Thanks, bro! It's a shame, honestly! Have a Merry Christmas, bro!
@@thelogicalcowboy merry christmas!
Great excellent Dallas Cowboys Every one who is a old old old school Cowboy die hard fan we know hall of fame forever go cowboys cowboys rolling down the with a super bowl victory 🎉🎉
I'm not surprised these GREAT players aren't in the HOF. I think it has to do with a deep dislike for the brand, together with unhealthy doze of envy of "America's team".
LC thank you so much for this unexpected Christmas treat. Have a wonderful Merry Christmas surrounded by your loved ones and a healthy and prosperous new year. 🎄🎉🎊
You too, bro!! blessings 🙌
Dallas isn't the only team to have players snubbed. Off the top of my head, I can think of two players, Randall Cunningham (briefly a Cowboy) and Roger Craig that belong in the Hall of Fame.
I do think the entire 90s Cowboys offensive line belongs in the Hall for carrying the triplets to the Super Bowl.
Great list, arguments, and presentation. I especially agree strongly with #1 and #2. Those should be the top priorities for Dallas HoF induction, Jordan senior and Woodson modern. Other legitimate candidates include George Andrie, Cornell Green, Don Perkins, John Niland, Ralph Neely, Herschel Walker (unique case focusing on APY), Mark Stepnoski, Erik Williams, Nate Newton, and Jay Novacek. Your top 5 list is solid though.
Great list!
Yes, that is a great list. Dallas would dominate the HOF if all was fair. Everyone of the guy you mention were better players and in more big games than many current HOFers.
Having seen all these guys play in person, I wholeheartedly agree ….they are hall of famers without a doubt !
I'm not a Dallas Cowboys fan.
I do remember those 5 great players that have been snubbed.
All through the 1970's I was a Minnesota Vikings fan. Well actually I really liked to watch Fran Tarkenton's creative will to make inspired drives to the end zone.
So that lets you know that every time the Cowboys eliminated the Vikings in the playoffs... I had a bad day.
Because of those great Dallas Cowboys players, those tremendous efforts for a trip to the Superbowl made watching them a pleasure.
Those 5 great Dallas Cowboys players really do deserve to be in the NFL Hall of Fame.
I think this is the best channel on RUclips…and yes absolutely agree . With exception of Jordan I watched all these guys play and they all belong in HOF.
Thanks bro!!
These guys knew how to win. I miss that with todays team. I loved the old Landry teams and Jimmy Johnson teams. If nothing else they knew how to win.
SF 49ers running back Roger Craig is the biggest snub ever! Three time Super Bowl Champion, the first RB with 1,000 yards rushing and receiving, all decade team of the 1980s, two time All Pro, 4 time Pro Bowler, 1988 OPOY!
Facts on facts on FACTS!
I’ve been a Cowboys fan since the 1971 season. These are the SAME players I’ve been saying for YEARS have been snubbed.
It’s crazy that these guys or not in the HOF! Even more sad that I thought these guys were already in the HOF!!
Wow
This is an outstanding list
Thanks!!!
Couldn't agree more with this list. Moose should be in as well. It's a crime that Woody, Martin, and Jordan aren't in.
Moose should definitely be in!
Absolutely. Good Job man. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you, too!
That is quite a list
This is the best Cowboys RUclips channel, No one knows Cowboys history better than Logical Cowboy.
Lol, thanks, bro! Have a merry Christmas!!
I totally agree on your selections.In the 1970s and 1990s Dallas's back ups could start for most other NFL teams.Wishing you a very merry Christmas 🎅🎄and a happy New Year.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, bro.
True. Look at Jimmy Smith in the early 90s for proof. Barely plays for Dallas, mostly special teams, then makes 5 Pro Bowls with the Jaguars. Announcers called Randy Hughes, the Cowboys backup S in the late 70s, the 3rd best safety in the NFL, behind starting Cowboys Harris and Waters.
Very well thought out and informative video. Those were among my favorite players growing up. What a shame they're not in the HOF!
100% Those 5 had much better careers than many first time inductees.
I agree
This is an outstanding list!!! Merry Christmas TLC!
Thanks, bro! Have a Merry Christmas to you too!
@@thelogicalcowboyhey do you think we’ll beat the Dolphins this Sunday?
@troyc4250
I think the more intriguing question is, *Can* Dallas beat Miami? I think they can. Quinn's scheme is made for passing offenses like Miami. Miami leads the league in 2.1 pocket time, so their scheme is not an explosive downfield offense. They typically rely on YAC yards. If we tackle, we should be fine. Believe it or not, I'm worried about their run game, if anything. It looks like we can't stop the run, but that's not true at all. Yes, Miami is 2nd in the league in rushing YAC after contact, but believe it or not, Dallas leads the league in not missing tackles. They are 13th in the league in yards allowed per carry. It's not an elite defense vs. the run, I'll say that. But there are about 12 other teams who are worse. Dallas is 14th in rushing yards allowed. But because our passing defense is so deadly in pass rushing and coverage, teams will try and run the ball.
So what do you do to teams who will try to use that as a weakness on our defense? On offense, score points. This game is going to come down to Dallas dictating the flow on their side of the ball by getting a lead early. What this will do is force Miami to take chances down the field, which is something that they hardly ever do. They are currently ranked 26th in the league in intended air yards. And if they do throw down the field, that means their league-leading 2.1 pocket time for Tua is going to increase due to longer routes. Trust me, they don't want that because Parsons is going to get his wish. If Dallas is going to win this, it's going to come down to how our offense plays vs. their defense. Not the other way around. Sorry for the long post. I probably should have done a video on this, lol.
@@thelogicalcowboy no no it wasn't a long post to me. I like your thoughts. It makes sense. Thanks for taking your time to answer me.
Another excellent video man
Appreciate you bro!
Man this is a GREAT VIDEO! I met Harvey Martin when i was a little boy in the children's hospital. I instantly became a Cowboys fan ever since. Its a damn shame none of these great players are not even in the Ring of Honor as well as the Hall of Fame.
Appreciate you bro
Excellent five…….there are so many that deserve consideration league wide.
I definitely agree with you 100 % about this list. I'm deeply surprised that Leroy Jordan is not in the Hall Of Fame. I do believe that this year will be the year for Darren Woodson though. He should have been in over 20 years ago! Every single player on this list needs to be voted into the Pro Football Hall Of Fame immediately!
Doom's Day Defense, one of the best ever, they should all be in the HOF.
I really thought Leeroy Jordan was a HOF’er. They finally let Chuck Howley in, to bad his condition prevented him to attend. These 5 need to be considered, no bias, just true stats show how great they were to the game
Somehow, I missed this video 5 months ago. I totally agree with all of these snubbed HOF players. Top of the list Too Tall Jones. I watched film where Too Tall deflected passes and resulted in defensive TDs by Jeffcoat against the Giants and the Rams (I think). All of these players bring a warm feeling to my heart as part of my SE Texas upbringing and my Dad's undying love for the Dallas Cowboys, which inevitably, I share to this day. I sincerely hope that one day we will be able to overcome the decades long curse that has pervaded our Cowboys from reaching that ultimate pinnacle of Super Bowl Champion, even though it seems not to be such a great achievement in this sad modern day. I won't go on about that, and I praise the motivation of today's athletes in their quest for greatness. Keep it up people, keep striving to be the best. We have seen what a whole team of the best can accomplish. Even as a Dallas Cowboy!!!
That list is astonishing!!! Those players should absolutely be enshrined into the HOF!!!
Thank you for this great video! I was an NFL and especially a Cowboys fanatic from 1976 to 1981 then just pretty much dropped off. But I will never forget the feeling of hearing Pat Summerall calling a Cowboys game on a Sunday afternoon. Some of the best memories of my childhood. And Harvey was my favorite player. Watching him harass QBs and RBs was pure bliss. For me Harvey stood out which was to say a lot considering teammates like Staubach, Dorsett, Drew, Randy, Hollywood, Cliff and Charlie. And FK the Cowboys franchise for omitting Harvey and Ed and Everson from the ROH. Embarrassing. Sorry to end on a downer but that’s just ridiculous. Thx again!
Great post! I could've read more.
You are right. I agree w all your selections. I was wondering if Jordan would be on your list.
Fantastic list. I got to watch Too-Tall, Bates, and Woodson. Jones was really special though -- the only line-backer who could be completely held back and still make the play with his height and those big paws. Just awesome.
I was shocked that Ed " Too Tall" Jones is not in the Hall of Fame. Following the news that my favorite CB Everson Walls. Great list.
I wish I still had my “Against the Wall” poster from the 80s
I believe you are spot on point,
The Logical Cowboy crushes it again.
How can one disagree ...Cowboys Legends
GREAT list! Holy cow, these guys were legends in their day and should absolutely be looked at for HOF induction.
I think that your list is spot on. Plus Charlie Waters i
Great list. I agree with all 5, I would rate Woody and Harvey as my top two but all are worthy. I started watching the Cowboys as Jordan was retiring. I knew he was good but had no idea he had that many interceptions.
Thanks, bro. Yeah, Harvey really could be anywhere on this list. The guy was a legend! Appreciate you bro!
You are spot on
Absolutely correct on those five!!! There should be a great deal more than those as well.
My dad worked for the Cowboys as the visiting team clubhouse manager from 1961-1996 and we have seen some players in our lifetime.
The Cowboys have long been a non favorite of the hall of fame voters who prefer brown nosers like howie long and many others.
I agree with that list. I believe Jay Novacek, Darryl the Moose Johnson, Nate Newton, Erik Williams, Mark Tuina, and Mark Stepnoski were also snubbed from the HOF. Why only one offensive lineman from what is considered the greatest O-line of all time was inducted into the HOF is beyond my comprehension.
I was about to say that there was a bias against the Dallas Cowboys but then I reviewed the top teams with the most HOF inductees. The Dallas Cowboys are in a 3 way tie for 3rd place all time with 32 players in the HOF. Just shy of the Packers at 33 and the Bears at 37.
In light of this information it's hard to make such a case considering that the Packers and Bears have been around since the birth of the NFL and the Cowboys have been around since 1960. The two teams tied with the Dallas Cowboys are the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins. They also have been in the NFL way longer than the Cowboys.
So it's rather impressive for the Cowboys to be that competitive with teams who have been around for a much longer time period.
About half those players primarily played for other teams. There was a strong anti-Cowboys bias in HoF voting from around 1980 through the mid 2000s. Until 2006 Dallas only had 5(!) primary players in the HoF. But it's true that a good amount of Cowboys have been inducted in recent years, making up a lot of lost ground. The Cowboys should have more in the HoF than other teams because they've been more successful and have more great players than other teams. So, while I don't think the current snubs are travesties yet the way Howley's, Pearson's, and Harris' exclusions were, as long as the top guys on this list are inducted eventually, it's likely that without the bias some like Jordan or Woodson would already be in.
@@krl97a ....Interesting point 🤔
You are right on all the players
There are probably 25 Cowboys players that could be on that list. But I agree with you in all cases you make here. Another great Video.
I agree!
I totally agree, I can't even change your list !
Thank you !!!
Thanks bro!
@@thelogicalcowboy For sure !! You are very welcome.
One of favorite cowboys was Charlie Waters he would 6 on my list.
@@kmjr2400
Waters was a legend!!
@@thelogicalcowboy Yes 💯 percent!!!!
Man I'm old timer I became a cowboy fan when I saw Roger throw a football ( all my friends were Steelers fans) but my fav cowboy of all time is Walls I saw him flip over the back of a wr running curl and make the int it was the most amazing play I ever saw to include obj's one handed catch
It's a shame. Those men were top notch players of many exciting games. Players who didn't celebrated in the in zone like players of today. They earned and deserved a place in the Hall of Fame.
You can easily make a case for every one of these guys especially Too Tall and Everson Walls. The thing I used to think of when Walls was in his first two years was how did all the other teams that drafted ahead of us pass on him? It was like with Larry Allen in that if people had known how good he was going to be both of them might have been the overall #1 pick.
🔥 🔥 great post!
back then Dallas did a very good job of drafting players from small unknown colleges. Gil Brandt is the grandfather of modern day scouting. Ed Jones and Everson Walls both went to HBCUs. Brandt was a forward thinker in the 60s and 70s. scouting at black colleges. so if the other teams weren't sending scouts to HBCUs then they probably didn't thing these guys were going to be good. Larry Allen went to a college that doesn't even have a football team anymore. Sonoma St. We would call Allen Walls and Jones diamonds in the rough. But the schools and people who watched them play already knew these guys were destined to be special players.
😮With the accolades presented here...
It's undoubtedly criminal that neither of these men ever donned the Gold Jacket 😢
Great list. Too Tall didn’t get tons of sacks, which probably hurt him, but b disrupted passing lanes better than anyone. Also played the run better than most ends.
Amen brother!
Damn good list...also Jerry needs to open up the ring of honor too. Jimmy next week is a good start
Thanks, bro. Yep, Jimmy is next man up. Have a Merry Christmas!
They finally put they original 54 Chuck Howley in and the original 88 Drew Pearson in and about time.
I agree with your list, but like you said, those other players are deserving as well.
Crazy how disrespected Cowboys players are when it comes to the HOF.
Great video and agree...
Thank you, bro.
Totally agree with this list.
I agree wholeheartedly with this list. These are absolute snubs. I still don’t know why Ed “Too Tall” Jones has been snubbed. I even thought that Walls was inducted, but how can he not be? This is beyond ridiculous! I know people say that Woodson’s time will eventually come, but I also thought that about Charlie Waters, who I believe would have been #6 on this list. The inane arguments against Martin is bull. The claim he wasn’t dominant enough long enough is a false excuse, and the one about Jordan is insane too, claiming that he didn’t get selected because of the time he played, which coincided with the times of other great middle linebackers like Dick Butkus, Ray Nitschke and Sam Huff. Those are false excuses because for years they maintained the reason against Drew Pearson before he finally got elected is because his
numbers did not match up with the numbers put up by receivers since then that have been due to the many change in the rules to promote a passing game and to protect quarterbacks and receivers against the brutal hits he endured and still thrived in when he played. This is a great list and I appreciate it. Thanks again for your brilliance.
Great list! I have been wondering the same thing for years! Cowboy Bias!
It sure is.
every single 60’s and 70’s Dallas player should be in the HOF! anything pre-Jerry Jones for sure was the REAL COWBOYS…
Bravo!! Great list. You could have done a top ten oe even 20 and still been on point. So many that deserve to be HOF. But how this list isn't in can only be contributed to the haters.
Thanks bro 🙏 GREAT post.
Totally agree with the list. Id add Don Perkins as an honorable mention. You should do a video of Ring of Honor snubs as well.
Yep. But I'm doing a top 10 list instead of top 5.
Good list
Woody will get in this year!🎉
I had no idea Woodson wasn't in the Hall. I didn't know who Martin was due to my age, but Woodson was the best secondary player in the league for several years; including Sanders. Teams were able to game Sanders. No team ever gamed Woodson.
John Madden called Darren Woodson the hardest hitter he’s ever seen
I'm Not a Cowboys Fan But You're Right on All 5 Players. Go Bears & Raiders.
There are multiple Cowboys who deserve to be Hall of Fame.
It's a darn shame all of these guys are not in the Hall!!!!
Harvey Martin ABSOLUTELY belongs in the Hall of Fame ! 1977 NFL Defensive Player of the year ! ( How many Cowboys ever won that award ? Answer 0 ). CO MVP of Super Bowl XII , All Decade Team of the 70’s ! SERIOUSLY!! 🤷🏽♂️
Good picks.
Thanks for watching!
Charlie waters is on my top 5 ,woodson ,Ed too Tall Jones ,Harvey Martin, Jethro Pugh ,Billy Joe Dupree ,Tony Hill ,Williams offense tackle , Tony Romo ,Dez Bryant offense top 5
They just don't want to give DEM BOYS their props!!! DC4L
Thank you for doing your homework, totally agree with list, and I'm not a Dallas fan!what a D line that was, Jones, Martin, white, now I know why they won the championship!! what's the saying a Great defense will win you a championship!! not sure how true that is, its definitely a big part but every championship team had some type of great QB with an OL to go with it!! no doubt!! That list needs to be looked at, and I'm sure your not the only one saying this,, but ty again great stuff!
It's really unfortunate. I can't believe it myself.
@@thelogicalcowboy It hard to believe, really is, if you play that video for the elite who vote on Hall of Fame, they should be ashamed of themselves!! idk just my opinion!! But the proof is right here! Thanks Man ,, really great call!!
I did not know Jordan held the interception record for a linebacker. I just thought he earned it for being the best hard-hitting and mentally tough linebacker of his time.
Yep. He owns the record for *middle* linebackers.
I totally agree with this list
This sort of points out what I already suspected. The HOF is really more a popularity contest, and conversely there are some guys in the Hall who don't belong there.
Iam asking all hall of fame voters to put this group of Dallas cowboy players in the hall of fame. It is because of these players why the game is play the way the game is play today. They change the not only for their team but for the NFL.
The biggest reason is that they played for the Cowboys. Point...blank...period. The hate is so strong. But Kurt Warner is in and he only played for a short time.
Darren Woodson was an absolute head hunter. I've never seen a harder hitter since him.
Ralph Neely and John Niland both 3x All Pros and Neely an all decade team member
Legends!
Great list what about Charlie Waters, Cornell Green, Ralph Neely John Niland
