You tell that to Tony Casillas. Didn't some call them Doomsday II? I heard that before

It never caught on. I do recall a Choke Them Til They Turn Blue movement also.

Even still, Doomsday II is more associated with late 70s with Too Tall, Manster and Harvey Martin

Actually, I recall them referring to themselves as no-name defense because no Pro Bowlers despite #1 ranking.

Correct. Lilly, Pugh, Andrie and Cole were Doomsday I.

Just think that a while from now, a new generation of Cowboys fans will be debating who the Hot Boyz II were.

That official Cowboys History DVD documented up to 2007.

In the years since, only thing notable about this franchise is the new stadium and the franchise’s rise to Forbes #1

Hot Boyz is entirely forgotten, except for those of us secret societies that speak the lost language.

There will never be a Hot Boyz II because the first version is worth jack and shit to the current/next gen. Winning legacy is so far gone, all they care about are frosty white unis and podcasts

Shit, this defense was 3 times #1 in football been 92 and 95 and were huge in winning 3 Super Bowls.

They also forced 14 Super Bowl turnovers.

Nobody, not even Doomsday, can lay claim to that fame.

They beat Doomsday's record of 8 turnovers in a game (vs Denver) by getting 9 vs Buffalo.

I grew up thinking that record would never be beaten

If not for that accident, he retires as both the greatest O-lineman in franchise history and the greatest RT of all time.

Think about how extraordinary that would have been to have both the greatest tackle and guard ever on the same franchise and playing alongside each other for the majority of their careers?

While I love Big E and think he was great, I don't think he would have been our greatest O-lineman. Larry Allen has that distinction all to himself and probably always will.

Williams was great, no doubt. But his biggest trait was his intimidation. He scared guys shitless with his clubs and meanness. But the league was already taking steps to get rid of stuff like that. He would have been targeted by the refs, fairly and unfairly, for clubbing somebody upside their head. Now, I'm not saying he would have been bad having to take that out of his game. Only that it would have taken a very scary weapon out of his arsenal. He would have still been a force. One that was more than likely headed to the HOF even without the head clubs and choke slams. But Larry Allen was just that damn good. And being considered possibly the 2nd best after Larry Allen is no slight.

Adding brawler Kevin Gogan, it's a feat when it's been said Mark Tuinei is the one out of everyone nobody wanted to fight.
