Whether or not this ranks high on the importance meter, anything that occurs for the first time in 21 seasons is deemed noteworthy – especially in late January.
But stumbling along the fact that Danny McCray led the team in special teams tackles once again, it made me wonder when the last time it had occurred. I assumed someone like Keith Davis or Sam Hurd had done that, or maybe even a guy like Jim Schwantz or Kenny Gant back in the 1990’s.
But of course, I had to go all the way back to Bill Bates to find the last time a Cowboys player led the team in special teams tackles two straight years.
Bates had a team-high 19 in 1989 and then 23 in 1990....
