He was 12th round draft pick and started early in the season. A good move for our pass defense, as I was sick and tired of seeing Manny Hendrix get toasted.

I agree he should be highlighted. He's better than an all pro or pro bowler. He's a SB MVP......thanks to Neil O'Donnell.

The "highlighted" names are only those who were All Pros or Pro Bowlers while playing for the Cowboys.

Larry Brown was never either. There are several players better who didn't get "highlighted" either.

So SB MVP doesn't rank high enough?

I remember losing to the Giants and falling to 6-5 having to face the undefeated Redskins in DC the following week. The prospects for finally making it back to the playoffs were starting to look bleak.

Then the Boys went into Washington and handed the Redskins their first loss of the year. Then came the Steelers game on Thanksgiving with Irvin making a huge 70 yard TD catch in the fourth to seal the win. That is still one of my most memorable moments of that season. That was followed a couple of weeks later with the win in Philly, which locked up a playoff spot and imo, solidified our turning point. In all we won the last 5 games of the regular season after that Giants loss. I remember the last week of the year there were all kinds of "The Boys Are Back" signs and articles.

I also vividly remember seeing us go into Chicago and beat the Bears setting up a Divisional round game at Detroit. I really thought we were a win away from playing the Redskins for a shot at the Super Bowl. I knew winning at Washington again would be tough but we seemed to always play them well in those days. But the unanticipated thrashing in Detroit put an end to any fairy tale dreams that year. Little did I realize then that we would win three of the next four Super Bowls. It's hard to believe it's been 16 years since our run started.

I think it would have been better to have stayed with Steve in the second half of the Lions playoff game. The game was not over at 17-6 and Troy looked rusty when he came in. The win against Chicago the week before ranks as one of my all-time favorites. Bill Bates' INT to seal the game was awsome! 1991 was just a prelude to what was to come
