Stiff arm? That was a roundhouse punch!

Jay Novacek.

I'd have taken all of them.

about any particular division rivals. I must have, but I don’t remember.

Of course, I was jealous of the entire Dallas organization in the 70s when the Giants were straight up incompetent and Dallas was a perennial contender.

There were guys on the Jets “Sack Exchange” defense who would have looked great in Giants blue, and some guys from the Montana-Lott 49ers. No Washington or Philly players come to mind.

Jason Kelce
Brian Dawkins
Demarcus Ware
Jason Witten
Marion Barber
Chris Cooley
London Fletcher
Jonathan Allen
De’Ron Payne
Sean Taylor

Ryan Kerrigan
Sean Lee
Trent Williams

White, John Riggins.

... I forgot about Bob Lily and Jay Novacek

If Eli wasn’t the pick in 2004, I was all about Taylor.

It woulda been fun to root for Marian Barber

Were 2 Cowboys I wished were Giants.

it would be Tony Dorset and Roger Staubach. So many others. Reggie White would have looked spectacular lining up alongside LT.

defensive player I've ever seen other than Lawrence Taylor was Reggie White.

Dan Dierdorf - very approachable nice guy, was sitting next to him at an airport gate waiting to board a flight. He started the conversation . . .

Roy Green - great guy and his 1984 season is one of the best ever

Bill Bates - hated him growing up in the 80's because he was a hard hitter and playmaker, then I met him at Dallas' training camp in 1989 . . . nicest guy in the world, actually felt bad that I had a low opinion of him

physical safety we've never had

!

Cox.

Dude destroys us.

of LT, they would have wrecked offenses.

This was my answer

Michael Irvin
Larry Allen
Sean Taylor
Micah Parsons

Dez Bryant
Marion Barber
Brian Westbrook
Terrell Owens

(them as players not as people )

It was a compilation of mainly his ex-teammates talking about him in awe. So many stories. Was quickly able to find it below…

Again, I really enjoyed the whole video. He was clearly on a different level as an athlete. But one story that stood out was his bench press challenge story vs. Isaac Sopoaga (330 lb NT beast from Samao). Story starts at about 5:30 in and it’s from Adam Snyder (325 lb 10 year vet OL).

Long story short. Isa’ako aka Isaac finished with 65 reps of 225. Larry Allen finished with 70+ and could’ve went for more.

Just a scary man.

Allen
Eric Swann
Jerome Brown
Reggie White
Darell Green
Art Monk

Williams was also an amazing corner. Just thinking of players from when I was young.

Reggie White would/could have been the #1 choice for the this OP.

But the Jason's are very nice gets indeed.

So he would be top of the list, with Reggie White right behind.

guy killed us.

Harvey Martin
Ed Jones (too tall)
Reggie White/Jerome Brown
Drew Pearson
