Doomsday II

Here is something to remember if you are old enough.

I have to say.....I liked Doomsday I much better. Willy, Lilly, Jethro, and George.....I would take that Defensive line over almost any other. Then they had at LB.....Leroy Jordon, Chuck Howley, DD Lewis...CB was Mel Renfro( maybe the GOAT there) with Cornel Green....and Safety was Harris and Waters and Herb Adderly

I saw a documentary on Mel Renfro recently. I don't think people realize what a pioneering thing his debut was. He had speed that was extraordinary. That was quite different than before at that position in the NFL. Renfro was a talented RB at one point that helped him when the Cowboys flipped him to CB.

GOAT is right. He changed the position.

Adderly was pretty good, too. We took him from Green Bay in a rare pickup from another team.

Mel Renfro played running back and DB at Oregon. He led Oregon in rushing three straight seasons (1961-1963). He still holds the university's career record for highest average per play at 6.01 yards. He is considered to be the best running back in the history of the University of Oregon, other than LaMichael James. In 1963, he was even named the team's backup quarterback.

Back when the Dallas Cowboys were a class organization. Stopped being a fan when Jerry took over.

agreed...

Took a photo with Bob Lilly when he spoke at our local FCA banquet. Was still massive individual.

I stopped when Jerry ran off Jimmy. Idiot.

I have a major regret that I can only give one like to this post. Jerra finally beat all the give a shit outta me....so bad that I haven't even watched an NFL game in 25 years. Do they still play on Sundays?

One other note on Mel Renfro..... His stats don't look like much, but that was his greatness....he would literally go GAMES without his man ever being targeted. Can you imagine the advantage the defense had only having to defend half the field? Like I said, his stats might not reflect much, but the HOF committee couldn't vote him in quick enough......Another thing. I was reading an article on Deon one time when the writer asked whatever scout he was interviewing to compare Deon to Renfro....the guy said it was not fair to compare the two. He said Deon is an AllPro....Renfro was so much of a better athlete. Renfro was also a bad assed tackler and vicious against the run.

I had no idea Mel Renfro was such a great guy. What a role model for men in all walks of life.

I got to watch Doomsday 1 and II. Randy White or Bob Lilly ? Mel Renfro was one of a kind. Walt Garrison “if you can’t beat em, cheat em, and if you can beat em, cheat em for practice”
And the cowboys of the 90s with the Tripletts was SO much fun.
And then came Jerry…what a damn shame. Made the team a laughingstock.

I have a cousin who rodeo with Walt Garrison. He told the story they were at Boston. After the rodeo, he, Walt and several others were at a table having some beers. A guy walked over and asked Walt if he was Walt Garrison. Walt replied yes. The guy said he came over with one purpose: kick his @ss. Walt replied "We don't want to do that. We are having fun here. Why don't you sit down at the table with us and have a beer." The guy refused. Nope, I came over her to whip your @ss. Walt replied, "Ok. Let's get this over with." Walt stood up. The guy looked at how big and bulked Walt was. He replied, "I was joking" and walked away.

Randy White was great, but Bob Lilly was the GOAT. Lilly was usually double teamed on any passing down and often was triple teamed. He would fight through the blockers and at least get pressure on the QB, if not a sack. In the Superbowl V, I remember Lilly catching the Norm Bulaich from behind on a quick pitch. He was just incredible. So, I would be taking Lilly for my fantasy team.

Bob put on a show in the Super Bowl win over Miami. He DOMINATED the whole damn game.
So much fun !
Crazy that the cowboys had 2 sure fire hall of famers at that position.
They were both badass players. Got the utmost respect for both men.

Bob Lilly's sack of Bob Griese was iconic.
