What they need is a new owner who will hire good people and let them do their jobs instead of a martinet who thinks he's Vince Lombardi and George Halas rolled into one.
Incredibly gifted athlete for any era, especially the one he played in and even more so considering he was a defensive tackle. It's truly spectacular to watch his athleticism on full display, whether he's chasing down a scrambling quarterback in the backfield or a receiver halfway up the field.
I met Randy White and his hands were the size of lunch boxes. He and Harvey Martin were voted Superbowl MVPS for a reason. They were beasts. I remember seeing Randy knock an offensive lineman down with one stiff arm chasing after the quarterback. Insanely strong !!!
I seen Randy White a few years ago at his BBQ joint, nice guy, he came over and visited with us, bought us beers and he still looked like he could play that day. He was one of the best.
Decades later you can see May's bitterness. With free agency like it is today you don't see that kind of rivalry among division opponents anymore. Players and teams lose their identity and their hatred for their rivals since their constantly on the move. Its truly a shame.
Mark GEORGE On the plus side, the ones producing the money are getting their fair share. If owners would have done right by the players, it probably would have never happened
Well to that point there are times where guys like Eli Manning vouch for guys like DeMarcus Ware to leave so that they DON'T have to see them anymore. Eli telling Peyton that he's "glad DeMarcus is out of the NFC East" was huge. I'm sure Peyton passed that along to Elway to make sure DeMarcus was happy. They faced each other from 05 to 13, I think that's enough time. Speaking of the Giants, there are times where guys like Norman trade INTO a division to get at a rival they don't usually see (Beckham). Sure, the Redskins paid him a ton of money, but there were other teams willing to do so. That move was to get at Beckham. So it works both ways.
My mom used to regale me with stories about these guys and Randy was the guy she talked about the most, my mom had a thing for guys with mustaches and Randy’s was legendary
Mark Mays is an eloquent guy. I think most casual NFL fans never realized how great Randy was, because after a couple of seasons he was double-teamed as much as possible. The rest of the Cowboys' front four -- guys like Harvey Martin and Too Tall Jones -- benefited greatly from the fact that everybody was focused on trying to contain Randy.
@ The Professor: Cant expect everybody to know cowboy history honey . .but OUR cowboy history is wonderful in the bedroom each and every night. LOVE when you wear the cowboy had with the lingerie and heels on when we have our "moments" together . .miss you each day sweetie . .cant wait for you to come home! XOXOOX
He was just fast. It's unbelievable. He could've been a Linebacker, and I think he'd be just as great as he was a defensive tackle. Great player, truly a monster
Randy was a straight up beast! He was double and triple teamed every play,especially in playoff games. Know one had a motor like him. He has been my favorite player for 57 years. I’ll never forget when he ran that receiver down from the backfield. Micah parsons seems to have that same type of motor, I hope we have him for 13 years like we had Randy.
@@ligmaemperor7064 Some people say the sports are bigger and faster, but they actually did a study on this and basically the only thing that changed was the technology used to train the athletes. They were just as big and fast the only difference now would probably be better nutrition so they could be healthier
That guy was a freak athlete. Had big time ability but the motor of a guy that was trying to get the last roster spot. Durable, strong, fast, and mean as hell.
For those of you too young to remember Randy White, he was basically the late 70's and early 80's version of J.J. Watt back then. Just a bad ass that you had to double and even triple team sometimes. #62 is WAY too low for him. He's at least in the top 50 players ever.
He was the GOAT! To do what he did, being double and triple teamed in the weather conditions they played in, and accomplish what he did is the reason why he is the GOAT!
@@brandonmaddox4862 that defensive line was the last thing to give way at the end of the Tom Landry Era. All the way up through 85 and 86 Too Tall and Randy White were still getting it done and when Harvey Martin was long gone Jim Jeffcoat played every bit as well as his two Pro Bowl teammates. The linebackers started falling off in the 80s first and then the secondary became overmatched and too slow but the D Line was still solid almost to the end.
I don't think he got into his head. If that was the case, he wouldn't be here talking about his legendary career. He respects him as a player, just not as a man. But he's honest and man enough to admit that the man was one of the greatest to ever do it.
the funny thing is that he is such a down to earth guy and he’s so sweet! He lives in my town and he’s a regular at the coffee shop I go to and I talk to him all the time❤️
As great as the "Manster" was, Bob Lilly will always be the Cowboys' best DT. BTW the greatest DT of all time resides in Pittsburgh and his name is Mean Joe Greeene. Unlike some other Steeler fans, I have the utmost respect for Dallas and it's disgusting that Harvey Martin and Drew Pearson aren't in the Hall of Fame.
I gave a Steelers fan a thumbs up. I need a shower, and may head to confession... Nice points made, and there is no wrong side of the Lilly vs Greene debate, or White for that matter. Those dudes were beasts.
+E Jax Growing up I haaaated the Cowboys (I'm a Pats fan), but the 2 guys I always admired AND respected on Dallas was Randy White and Roger Staubach. But Randy was just a badass on the field. Didn't talk a lot of trash, but that dude just had an ominous aura about him, along with that iconic #54. He was one of my favorite players.
Ive been obsessed with the Dallas Cowboys since 1981, and Randy White was as good of a football player as the Cowboys has EVER had. I cannot imagine having to fight that guy. For Russ F'ing Grimm to admit to a teammate that he was getting his ass kicked by ANYONE, let alone Randy White, is one of the greatest compliments any football player could get. Grimm was as good as any Guard in the game for YEARS.
I grew up hating the Cowboys, but I always liked Randy White. Back in the time when it was still legal to play defense and intimidate your opponents with brutal physicality. No cowards on that field during those days. Even the QB's had to be tough sob's to handle the punishment.
As I watch this, I recall a clip from the America's Game Redskins '82 season documentary, where Grimm turned the tables on Randy White during the NFC Championship game. 50 Gut was the play. Basic, old fashioned smash mouth football where the offensive line drove into the defensive line, specifically Randy White. They ran the play over and over again. As Theismann said, Grimm and the O-line wanted to make a statement. They wanted to hurt him, bloody him, bury him, and they damn near did. When you have a chance to blast your tormentor in the mouth, and there's nothing that guy can do about it, that's a rare moment so you'd better take it.
Randy was a bad dude...The Steelers and Raiders would have loved to have had him. He would have fit right in. He was like a Steeler or Raider in a Cowboy uniform. However, it worked perfectly as a Cowboy. I remember his number was unusual. His number - 54 - was generally something a Linebacker would wear. It sort of made him look like a linebacker on the offensive line. Had he been more like 75 or something, he would have probably looked more like a traditional Defensive Lineman. Part of it was he was fast and explosive. He probably could have been a linebacker if he wanted. Great player. He set the stage for Reggie White and LT. A lineman with a fierce attitude who got to the QB and the other team was constantly focusing on.
I grew up watchin Randy White,Harvey Martin,Too tall jones and John Dutton,their defensive front was 2nd to none......The Manster definitely my all time favorite Cowboy
I recall actually watching a Maryland game on TV. White was essentially, the whole team. He must have made like 40 tackles or something obscene like that. The Terps got killed anyway because they didn't have anybody but him.
In 1981, Randy White welcomed Mark May to the NFL. Randy's motor was relentless. He loved beating up on the Redskins and Mark May still can't let go. Shows you how Randy was able to get into their heads. Loved it!!
My all time favorite,,this guy would get double and triple team almost every play,and he would still wreck havoc..there have been several players,fellow teammates and players on other teams that have said if they ever had to walk down a dark alley,or mean street they would want Mr.White with them.
You can't blame Mark May, he was a hell of a competitor himself! He sure didn't hold back on the accolades for Randy White, even if he didn't like him.
This was when football players like Jack Tatum, Jack Lambert were fierce men THE MANSTER 54 was one of those guys. (99 Araron Donald is one of those guys too.)
I see Randy occasionally - have always lived in Dallas and we have some mutual friends. Nicest, most generous s guy ever. He still looks like he could play. What’s rarely mentioned was his starting the study of martial arts in the Cowboys. To this day he’s a practitioner of Wing Chun. If you watch films you’ll see it on the field.
Randy White was one of the original "new style" player. He took Martial arts for his hand techniques. He worked out like a madman. he was one of the 1st i heard of back then with a 500 pound bench press. Ran a 4.7 at 260 pounds. He played at 270 later, and was never injured. Landry wanted to convert him to LB because of his speed. That would have been a bad move.
you have to wonder how the 75 and 76 seasons would have turned out had Landry played this future HOFer at the position he should have been playing. Landry did make some pretty bizarre decisions sometimes.
vin russo jon kolb,bob young,doug wilkinson,rich jackson,jim clack and several others could bench 500 before Randy. he may have been the smallest one that could do it back then.
I grew up in Dallas and met the Manster a few times at Signature Health club while I was hooping and he was lifting weights....he was an incredibly friendly guy....May probably cant believe it!! Lol
Been a cowboy fan for 57 years my top three are Randy white, Robert Newhouse, Emmitt smith. So many great cowboys. I’m not happy about too tall and Harvey martin they are not in the ring of honor and the hall of fame. They should have been there 5 years after retirement. Know one is going to tell me different!
Each and every damned weekend watching the NFL you'd see this face of the Cowboys all over the field and making plays. When you thought of the Cowboys, Randy White was always the first name you conjured up. He never seemed to age or slow down. He was just there and had to be dealt with.
I'm a pats fan but i gotta say that this guy could probably single handly rip through any modern offensive line love him or hate him he deserves to be respected as a football all time great!
Randy White used martial arts hand to hand redirection moves on the field. He was a master of it and knew it.....watch and you'll see his hand to hand redirection moves throughout.
Randy’s is one word : powerful , you can’t stop him, the best you can do is slow him down , he’s 260-300 pounds , fastest hands, my brother played in the 80’s and was tackled by randy , he was happy that he didn’t start that many games that randy was in
Funny thing is Dallas tried him at linebacker in 75 and 76 and it wasn't until he was moved to defensive tackle that he truly shined. Undersized or not I think he could still be an All Pro at that position even today. The man was a stout run defender in an era when teams were built around running.
Redman Bros 1023 I remember that play when it happened as a kid. He ran down a Scott Fitzkee a wr he probably outweighed by 50-60 lbs. I'm a Steelers fan and all I could do was say wowwwwwww. Great play!
the doomsday defense, him, hollywood henderson, too tall jones, those 2 safetys i forget the name of, a corner i forget the name of. one of the best defenses of all time.
He was a black belt in Karate, way before anyone in the NFL even knew what it was. He held out on yr and spent his time fishing. Jimmy Johnson showed up after Jerrah bought the team. He was one of the first guys to get cut. His locker room fight with Hollywood Henderson is legendary. I have and always will believe that Larry Cole had alot to do with his success.
White wasn't cut. He retired before anyone could cut him. He had been considering retirement because injuries had taken a toll. Landry being fired was the final deciding factor. He wasn't going to play for anyone else.
Definitely one of the at least the top 10 defensive tackles ever. But for some strange reason a guy named Bob Young used dominate him for about four years with the St. Louis Cardinals I don't know why but it was like man against boy
Dave Akerman i've seen one highlight of Randy White sacking Jim hart and I think that was on a stunt. Don't need revisionist History read the spiral of denial. Read sports illustrated the vault. Bob Young over A short distance was as fast as Randy and much much stronger. Say what you want about the Steelers Bob Young is why Randy started taking steroids. He was by far the strongest player in the NFL and also Had The best network for getting training information and steroids in the United States. Randy still one of the greatest tackles ever just got his ass kicked by a guy who is chemically enhanced
6’4” 260lbs ran the 40 in 4.2 secs. The strongest man in the NFL at one time. He was the reason I played and watched football. Thank you for the years and memories Randy White. One tough customer!
Randy White....generational player....then came Lawrence Taylor, a generational player....NOW, theres Micah Parsons and trust me, he is only gonna get better and i have the utmost confidence that HE will be the next generational player
I grew listening to the story of Randy White stuffing Hollywood Henderson in a locker! I’m irritated that the current front office of this Cowboys team don’t value a beast of a DT that we need like White.
6'4'' and 257 lbs. would be small today compared to a lot of defensive and offensive linemen, but I wouldn't want to try to guard him. He was indeed one of the best of his day.
During my sophmore year at the University of Maryland in 1973, after a late season win vs the University of VA, I waited outside the visiting locker room for a HS football teammate who was a freshman DE for UVA. I asked him about MD's All American candidate lineman Paul Vellano and asked him what he thought. He did not hesitate and told me who the best player MD had , the guy who hit him the hardest he had ever been hit (on a kickoff), that player was Randy White.

Same with Phil Simms. The scar on his chin was from Randy White.

WoW,it was the last :10 secs that say a lot.I knew I hated the Cowgirls for some reason.Steelers baby.Mark you gave 3 bowls Randy has 1.You beat him.

This was when football players like Jack Tatum, Jack Lambert were fierce men THE MANSTER 54 was one of those guys. (99 Araron Donald is one of those guys too.)
I’m 57 soon and remember The “ Man-Ster “ 💪💥
Between him & Dave Butz the All Time NFCE Team would be unstoppable
The manster!!! Top 5 defensive tackle ever.
I see Randy occasionally - have always lived in Dallas and we have some mutual friends. Nicest, most generous s guy ever. He still looks like he could play. What’s rarely mentioned was his starting the study of martial arts in the Cowboys. To this day he’s a practitioner of Wing Chun. If you watch films you’ll see it on the field.
I watched Randy White. That whole “Hes just a high motor guy” bs wasn’t the case. He literally kicked everyones ass. HOFer.
Randy White was one of the original "new style" player. He took Martial arts for his hand techniques. He worked out like a madman. he was one of the 1st i heard of back then with a 500 pound bench press. Ran a 4.7 at 260 pounds. He played at 270 later, and was never injured. Landry wanted to convert him to LB because of his speed. That would have been a bad move.
Landry did do that for White's first two seasons and it was looking as if he might be a bust until he was moved to DT.
you have to wonder how the 75 and 76 seasons would have turned out had Landry played this future HOFer at the position he should have been playing. Landry did make some pretty bizarre decisions sometimes.
Landry always f#ckin something up
vin russo jon kolb,bob young,doug wilkinson,rich jackson,jim clack and several others could bench 500 before Randy. he may have been the smallest one that could do it back then.
I read growing up it was a 4.6 forty
Everybody knows he was at least in top 20 nfl greatest.
That Super Bowl against the Broncos was the fastest I've ever seen a defense play. The entire defense has lights out speed.
3:00 I need more info on this story, especially Randy White’s mom with a blackjack in her pocket book.
I grew up in Dallas and met the Manster a few times at Signature Health club while I was hooping and he was lifting weights....he was an incredibly friendly guy....May probably cant believe it!! Lol
Been a cowboy fan for 57 years my top three are Randy white, Robert Newhouse, Emmitt smith. So many great cowboys. I’m not happy about too tall and Harvey martin they are not in the ring of honor and the hall of fame. They should have been there 5 years after retirement. Know one is going to tell me different!
The play Randy White made chasing and tackling Eagles receiver should be shown to every young football player....
Anytime there was a fight on the field with the Cowboys defense or offense. Randy White was there ready to go. He loved to fight and he didn't lose.
That wide receiver was like "What is Randy White doing next me so far down the field?"
Each and every damned weekend watching the NFL you'd see this face of the Cowboys all over the field and making plays. When you thought of the Cowboys, Randy White was always the first name you conjured up. He never seemed to age or slow down. He was just there and had to be dealt with.
I'm a pats fan but i gotta say that this guy could probably single handly rip through any modern offensive line love him or hate him he deserves to be respected as a football all time great!
Randy White used martial arts hand to hand redirection moves on the field. He was a master of it and knew it.....watch and you'll see his hand to hand redirection moves throughout.
Muay Thai, baby!!
Randy’s is one word : powerful , you can’t stop him, the best you can do is slow him down , he’s 260-300 pounds , fastest hands, my brother played in the 80’s and was tackled by randy , he was happy that he didn’t start that many games that randy was in
He only weighed 254 lbs at the DT position...he'd be an OLB today. His off-season training regiment was brutal.
Funny thing is Dallas tried him at linebacker in 75 and 76 and it wasn't until he was moved to defensive tackle that he truly shined. Undersized or not I think he could still be an All Pro at that position even today. The man was a stout run defender in an era when teams were built around running.
@@ashleighelizabeth5916 He played defensive lineman at Maryland, so that was his natural position.
I remember a story in which Thomas Henderson tried to mess with him in the locker room and wound up being stuffed into a locker.
Good Lord he was fast.
Greatest defensive lineman to ever play the game
Randall Denison Joe Greene and Alan Page were better
McDonogh Rahloh maybe Joe Greene definitely not Alan page
WTF ever
@@mcdonoghrahloh459 The truth is in the pudding
@@dominickdegregorio9834 4 Super Bowls compared to 1.Thanx for the reply
The best part is when he ran that guy down.
Redman Bros 1023 I remember that play when it happened as a kid. He ran down a Scott Fitzkee a wr he probably outweighed by 50-60 lbs. I'm a Steelers fan and all I could do was say wowwwwwww. Great play!
yea a DT tackle takling a tight end
Fitzkee was a wide receiver. All the more impressive.
Never get tired of seeing Randy, a D line tackle run the Eagles receiver down ahead of the Safety’s ….
A DT chasing down a receiver in the open field is the greatest play in NFL history.
na larry allen a O linemen from the cowboys hawking down one of the fastest linebackers in the league was lol but randy is second lol
3:10 RFK is shaking. That was a real rivalry.
Imagine the all time Steelers play the all time cowboys what a game
Is dak your QB since his numbers are better than staubach lol....
@@dustinconnolly7258 I like both. But, have you ever seen Roger "The Dodger" Staubach play? This guy was good.
@Pete Kondolios that would had been nice to see who would be starting quarterbacks of both teams. Dak has a long way to go.
I’d pay to see this
the doomsday defense, him, hollywood henderson, too tall jones, those 2 safetys i forget the name of, a corner i forget the name of. one of the best defenses of all time.
The safeties were Cliff Harris and Charlie Waters.
TrainGuy thx
I don't know of all time but they allowed the least points in the SB 3 points.
You left out Harvey Martin, Bob Breunig, Mike Hegman, Larry Cole, Benny Barnes, Aaron Kyle, Jethro Pugh and DD Lewis.
I was a big Bill Bates fan, he came on a bit later.
When football was real.
He was a black belt in Karate, way before anyone in the NFL even knew what it was. He held out on yr and spent his time fishing. Jimmy Johnson showed up after Jerrah bought the team. He was one of the first guys to get cut. His locker room fight with Hollywood Henderson is legendary. I have and always will believe that Larry Cole had alot to do with his success.
White wasn't cut. He retired before anyone could cut him. He had been considering retirement because injuries had taken a toll. Landry being fired was the final deciding factor. He wasn't going to play for anyone else.
Definitely one of the at least the top 10 defensive tackles ever. But for some strange reason a guy named Bob Young used dominate him for about four years with the St. Louis Cardinals I don't know why but it was like man against boy
Nobody ever dominated Randy White one on one.
Dave Akerman i've seen one highlight of Randy White sacking Jim hart and I think that was on a stunt. Don't need revisionist History read the spiral of denial. Read sports illustrated the vault. Bob Young over A short distance was as fast as Randy and much much stronger. Say what you want about the Steelers Bob Young is why Randy started taking steroids. He was by far the strongest player in the NFL and also Had The best network for getting training information and steroids in the United States. Randy still one of the greatest tackles ever just got his ass kicked by a guy who is chemically enhanced
Because of Randy White, I was called the Cucui, in Spanish “monster “!
6’4” 260lbs ran the 40 in 4.2 secs. The strongest man in the NFL at one time. He was the reason I played and watched football. Thank you for the years and memories Randy White. One tough customer!
Randy did NOT run a 4.2.lol
4.6 is what I read
"Yards after contact" No such thing when Randy White hit you.
Randy White....generational player....then came Lawrence Taylor, a generational player....NOW, theres Micah Parsons and trust me, he is only gonna get better and i have the utmost confidence that HE will be the next generational player
Goodness. Does Mark May age?
I hear you. He looks the same now as he did when he played for Pitt.
John Pottorgg good lord you're a racist well spoken? Really has anybody ever said that about a white player
Stop it, bro. Just stop.
QB just stop what bro? Show me where someone called a white guy well spoken show it to me and I'll apologize. Otherwise shut up
You're just pretending to be offended. I'm black, yet I didn't find it offensive. You people don't know when to stop.
Reminds me of how Aaron Donald plays today.
I grew listening to the story of Randy White stuffing Hollywood Henderson in a locker! I’m irritated that the current front office of this Cowboys team don’t value a beast of a DT that we need like White.
6'4'' and 257 lbs. would be small today compared to a lot of defensive and offensive linemen, but I wouldn't want to try to guard him. He was indeed one of the best of his day.
During my sophmore year at the University of Maryland in 1973, after a late season win vs the University of VA, I waited outside the visiting locker room for a HS football teammate who was a freshman DE for UVA. I asked him about MD's All American candidate lineman Paul Vellano and asked him what he thought. He did not hesitate and told me who the best player MD had , the guy who hit him the hardest he had ever been hit (on a kickoff), that player was Randy White.
