My View of the Dallas Cowboys Top 50 No. 26-30







Number 26- Ed "Too Tall" Jones
This three time Pro Bowler was also a professional boxer between his stints with the Cowboys. Jones' nickname is not ironic as he stands 6' 9" and was a beast at swatting passes coming from opposing quaterbacks at the line. This monster size of a man has played in more games in Cowboys history than any other player.







Number 27- Everson Walls
Walls was a four time Pro Bowler that led the NFL in interceptions three times, including eleven picks his rookie season. Walls is unfortunately known for the game against the San Francisco 49ers for the 1981 NFC Championship game where he was covering Dwight Clark who made "The Catch." But thankfully he will be remembered as well for donating a kidney to teammate Ron Springs.




Number 28- Jay Novacek
This five time Pro Bowler was yet another security blanket in a great line of tight ends for the Cowboys. Novacek was great for Troy Aikman as Jason Witten is great for Tony Romo. Some people see him as the greatest tight end to play for the Cowboys but I see him as number two behind Witten.






Number 29- Charlie Waters
Waters was a three time Pro Bowler and teamed up with Cliff Harris in the '70s to form one of the greatest safety combinations in leagtue history. He is third all time in Cowboys history with 41 interceptions.







Number 30- Nate Newton
Newton made 6 Pro Bowls and is yet another great lineman in 'Boys history. A huge part of the three Super Bowls in the '90s, Nasty Nate has also been spotted on Michael Irvin's show "4th and Long" as the guy who brought the players who were going to get cut to Irvin and the coaches.
