Cowboys Nostalgia Thread

By that point in his career, the guy had developed extreme accuracy when his body was right.

We lacked good speed on that offense, with our fastest players being third tier NFL players like Dunbar or Williams. The change from Murray to McFadden was a major drop in power too. That made for a weird offensive identity they ended up never finding.

Three things:

1. I really miss watching Big E play. He was just so damn dominate. People talk about Larry all the time, but E was just about as good.

2. Irvin's bit about "motherfucker, you gonna gettin' in the way of takin' care of my momma" was funny.

3. They need to teach that AI how to properly pronounce Strahan.

Only player in history who could block Reggie White 1 V 1…and dominate. Nuff said …
 
Fun fact I stumbled upon when I went to go refresh my memory:

1992 regular season (Cowboys 20-10 win): Williams held White without a sack (White had just 3 tackles). This earned Williams NFC Offensive Player of the Week — he remains the only offensive lineman in Cowboys history to win that honor. dallascowboys.com

Even LA got his ass handed to him.

Erik Williams was about as street violent as an OL could be back then. And I think that frustrated White. I recall William Fuller being more of his prison bitch though.

He would shove his hands in White’s face over and over again and get away with it. At one point White screamed at the ref pointing at his cheek where Williams’ nails had cut under his eye.

He’d get in his head game after game. Without a doubt Reggie White was the very best DL I’ve ever seen, for a while JJ Watt was contending but he fell off after a few years. When the Eagles had him, Clyde Simmons (who could break a guy), and Jerome Brown, it was completely unfair.

We defeated them in 1991, and K-Mart was the guy the Eagles couldn’t counter. In 91 it was his PR for TD, in 92 it was as a WR.

But that DL was crazy good. If the Eagles offense had any juice at all (they had shitty OL up and down), they’d have beaten us twice I think in 92, especially with Elliott as our kicker. But instead our defense surpassed theirs statistically because we had an offense that could both move and possess the ball.

Jimmy always said he could beat the teams in our division but to get to where we wanted, he had to build a team that could beat the Eagles. Big E was a huge part of that.
