With PERHAPS the exception of Harvey Martin, Randy White is the most famed member of the second generation Doomsday Defense, a moniker given to the mid 70’s-early 80’s defenses of the Dallas Cowboys.  White was drafted by the Cowboys as a linebacker in the 1975 draft, largely on the merit of his speed and high motor.  Soon, though, White found himself anchoring the Cowboy defensive line, primarily as an inside tackle.  His speed made him a nightmare for offensive linemen.  Beginning in 1977, and running through 1985, White earned pro bowl honors, and his performance throughout the 1978 season led to being named Defensive Player of the year.

Thus far, in the Tecmo Legacy League (TLL) 78 season White is on the same trajectory, as through six games he heads the league in sacks with 10, while adding a ridiculous 29 tackles, good for sixth amongst all defenders. 

In Week 4, the ‘Manimal’ aka the 'Manster' (half man/half monster) earned defensive player of the week, as individually he made 9 tackles, while in the meantime sacking Joe Pisarcik 4 times.  As a unit the Dallas defense gave up three total yards.  Ha-What?  We do not currently have the official records but that has to be the TLL all-time record.

Throughout his 14 season, hall of fame career White missed just one game.  It is safe to say that the TLL Cowboys will have the ‘Manimal Manster’ prowling offensive backfields for years yet to come.
