Tony Dorsett or Emmitt Smith

[PDay8810]

wouldn't the greatest oline in the history of professional football have more than ONE in the NFL HOF?

 

[Darrell Green Fan]

Having seen them both, and understanding his OL was great, I have to go with Emmit Smith. Just mad respect for that guy and his ability to pick a hole.

As for all timers the best I ever saw was Earl Campbell, never saw Jim Brown. Tomlinson is one I never thought got his due credit. He was right up there with the best I have ever seen.

nobody here wants to explain this.
You guys keep saying the best oline in the history of football.
BOY...Larry Allen shoulda been inducted twice.

LOL

I still don't know a cowboy fan who would ever say Emmitt Smith was better than Sweetness, Sanders, or Jim Brown. Being one of the best RB's is the point I and other Dallas fans has stated here. Three championship in four years says as much as does all time leader in rush yards.

I'm going to drop one more post about downgrading Emmitt Smith due to having what many here have said was the greatest line in the history of football based on one HOF lineman who played with Smith for nine seasons.

The greatest oline in the history of football remains Lombardi' Green Bay Packers. HOF runners Jim Taylor and Paul Horning played their entire careers running behind HOF tackle Forest Gregg and HOF guard Jerry Kramer. HOF Center Jim Ringo played five years during this time. Three HOF linemen playing together says this is the greatest line to ever play Pro Football.

I was borned in Tyler, Texas. Campbell was special but ...Big Earl played seven seasons in Houston in which he had two seasons with two HOF'ers (Matthews/Munchak) and a third year with Munchak. Do you deduct points for Earl's accomplishments as many do for Emmitt? Eric Dickerson played five years with the Rams, arguably his best years, all 5 season HOF'er Jackie Slater lead the way. Hell, Jim Brown played nine seasons, had two HOF linemen. Gene Hickerson played eight seasons with Brown and Mike McCormach played 6 seasons with Brown. Five of Brown's nine years had two HOF'ers on that line. Even Sweetness had HOF Jimbo Covert for five seasons. OJ had HOF Joe DeLamielleure for five seasons. BUT...Emmitt was nothing without Larry Allen as Troy was nothing without Emmitt with the so called greatest oline in the history of football.

All these years...still the Dallas hate.
I love it. Such bull shit some here spin.

I wasn't aware that only one is in the HOF. Reminds me of the Hogs with only Russ Grimm represented. Larry Allen and Joe Jacoby were certainly Hall of Fame Players.

are you saying Jacoby isnt in the HOF?

 

[Darrell Green Fan]

are you saying Jacoby isnt in the HOF?

Yes that is what I am saying. Big sore spot with Washington fans.

But this is not uncommon with OL so the claim that Dallas didn't have a dominant OL with Emmitt because of the lack of Hall of Famers is a bit off base. You can be a great offensive lineman and not be in the Hall of Fame.

so the claim that Dallas didn't have a dominant OL with Emmitt because of the lack of Hall of Famers is a bit off base.

who said this?

The topic was the greatest oline in the history of pro football to downgrade Emmitt's accomplishments.

Sanders, Walter and Brown
then Emmitt.

anyone else is a shock value statement.

 

[Inquisitor95]

I could have rushed for 1000 yards behind that ‘90’s Cowboys OL.

Running the opposite direction doesn't count.

Explain what......??

You can google it,you can hear on talk shows,you can read stories about it.......
Just because Larry allen I think is the only one in the HOF from that team,does not mean they are not a top oline of all time.
The 70s Raiders has 3 in the Hall,70s Vikes has 2 in the Hall,60s Packers has two I believe in the Hall.....Its. very hard for olineman to get in.....
But that does not mean the 90s Cowboys line won't quite make it yet,cause they may......

...Its. very hard for olineman to get in.....

you again.

Dallas has had many great olines.
Allen and Rayfield Wright are the only Cowboy linemen in. The national media has always shit on Dallas players.

it is what it is

 

[wood20ks]

you again.

it is what it is

So thats just admitting more than tbose two should be in the Hall.

90s Cowboys oline that blocked for Emmitt.......
Nate Newton 6x Pro Bowl 2x All Pro
Mark Tuinea 2x probowl
Mark stepnoski 5x ProBowl
Larry Allen 11x Pro Bowl 6x All Pro HOF
Erik Williams 4x Pro Bowl 2x All Pro
Flozell Adams 4x Pro Bowl(twice for Emmitt)
One year(maybe more) there were 4 teammates that made the ProBowl same season.....

Not too mention he had Aikman and Irvin Hof'ers that he played with.......
How many rbs get that type of team to play with.....??

Don't be pushing that oline off as not being a top oline of all time......you are shitting on those guys just like the media is.....you just said so yourself.

 

[wood20ks]

Barry Sanders had :
Lomas Brown 7x Pro Bowl 1x All Pro
Kevin Glover 3x

As far as the topic of this thread;Dorsett:

Herb Scott 3x ProBowl 2x All Pro
Pat Donovan 4x Pro Bowl......
Rayfield Wright 6x ProBowl 3x All Pro.....none of it was when Tony played....Rayfield retired after Tonys first 3 years....played 2 games started 0 in TDs rookie season,and played very little his last two seasons....


You can Staubach,who actually played during Tonys first 3 year before retirement.....then it was the great Danny White.
Drew Pearson 3x PB 3x AP.....and who just made the Hall after like 40 plus years.

So dont think the Vets committie wont vote any of those 90s line in......cause it very well could happen......

And if you got an extra 3 seconds,I can tupe out Paytons line and teammates......lol


Pretty short list when you start comparing.....

You wanted it explained and I laid it out best it can be laid out.....

woody...reading isn't all that fundamental for you.
The topic was THE Greatest Line in the HISTORY OF FOOTBALL.

If you want to say Emmitt is not at least the 4th best RB in football because of his teammates is just trolling.

Move the fuck on. I'm done tap dancing with you.

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

agreed but I'd rather have Emmitt if we're talking championships.

#completepackage

Emmitt also had one of the best offensive lines of all time to run behind.

Its all good dude......

Its hard to say who is the the best ever breaking down all thats involved with it.....I just laid out what I tjink between TDs and ESs line.....
As I said before in an earlier post:
I watched TD play from a rookie on,sparingly,but most of that had to do with the way tv was.....
Watched the 90s Dallas team,Emmitt was great,theres no doubt,but switch players around,and what would their stats look like.....??....I have no idea.

you don't ven know the topic.
just spewing.

the 1960's lines might of been the best Dallas line ever and I don't need to look um up.
Wright, Ralph Neely, John Niland, Tony Leccio and Dave Manders was the best Dallas unit.

First of all THE topic was Emmitt or Tony....

Lol at getting clowned for trying to explain the differences in their respective /olines.......its right up there all in black and white.,

2ndly I can post the 60s line....but Ive never heard of anyone wanting to bring them up,or even googling top olines and them being brought up......
And Im not 80 yeras old to know of the 60s Cowboys.....I was born in 62.

 

[PDay8810]

thread title YES...which is laughable to compare

the topic switched and you keep responding to where the topic had gone.
