My View of the Dallas Cowboys Top 50 No. 36-40






Number 40- La'Roi Glover
Glover only played for the Cowboys for 4 seasons but made the Pro Bowl in all of them, including six straight. A great free agent pick up in 2002, had a great first game with the Cowboys with six tackles, a sack and a half, and an interception; even though the Cowboys would lose that game to the expansion Texans. Glover was unfortunately let go after the 2005 season when Bill Parcels decided to switch to a 3-4 defense and wanted a large nose tackle instead.






Number 39- Jethro Pugh
Bob Lilly's defensive tackle side kick, Pugh never made the Pro Bowl. He was dominant for the twelve years that he started for the Cowboys, but had to play along side and in the shadow of the greatest defensive tackle in Cowboys history. He lead the Cowboys in sacks for five straight seasons from 1968- 1972, the only player to do that in Dallas history. He has 95 and a half sacks over his career, which puts him fifth all time in the NFL.






Number 38- Billy Joe DuPree
DuPree was a durable three time Pro Bowler who never missed a game in his eleven year career. DuPree was to Roger Staubach what Jason Witten is to Tony Romo. The tight end is tenth in receiving yards in 'Boys history and sixth in touchdowns. He is probably the third best tight end in Cowboys history.






Number 37- Daryl "Moose" Johnston
Without a doubt the greatest fullback to ever have a star on his helmet. Moose spent almost all of his career blocking for Emmitt Smith was the first true fullback to become a Pro Bowler in 1993. One of the most reconizable Cowboys to play in Dallas and is without a doubt one of the greatest fan favorites to play.







Number 36- Tony Hill
The three time Pro Bowler ranks second in Cowboys history in receiving yards and third in touchdowns. Hill played opposite Drew Pearson and became the first Cowboys duo to post a thousand yards each in the same season. Another great wide receiver in a long line in Cowboys history.
