Can of these traits be taught to some of our current set of cornerbacks? QB's have no fear of throwing at our CB's because there is little chance for an INT.
By the way the 1981 Championship game againat the Niners is still the loss that hurts me the most. I thought we had it when you got your second INT.

Secondary follow up question on this....

Do you feel the front 4 pressure on the QB's resulted in many more chances for interceprions by you?

The head coaches you played under read like a "Top-5 Greatest Coaches of All Time" list. Considering that you played for Eddie Robinson, Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson, Bill Parcells, and Bill Belichick... Which coach had the greatest impact on you as a player and as a man? If these coaches were all in their prime and you had to pick one to play for, which man would you pick?

[The Grim Reaper]

I hope this doesn't sound ghoulish given my username, but whose death impacted your life more, Eddie Robinson's or Tom Landry's, and how did their lives affect the man you are that you could donate a kidney to a teammate?

Everson,

Was there a teammate of yours that took you under their wing, while you were a rookie, and showed you how to apply your talent to the NFL and contribute the best way possible?

Or similarly, which teammate do you feel helped your game the most?

Lastly, that was an incredible feat of humanity you showed helping Ron Springs with your kidney donation. That was truly a first class thing you did.

Best wishes always...

Everson, I know you've been asked a lot about the various coaches you've played for, and so forgive me if I ask again on that subject, but..

You played for both Tom Landry and Bill Parcells. Both are considered Hall of fame coaches today. What do you think, in each case, was their greatest strength as a coach?

Now to playing..

1. What did you think was the best game you ever played in pro ball?

2. Who were the WRs you respected the most?

3. What running back was the hardest to tackle once he made it to the defensive backfield?

4. Who was the toughest QB you ever had to face, the hardest to figure out?

Thank your for your time and consideration.

David Myers.

Mr. Walls,
First I'd like to say I really enjoyed watching you on Sundays growing up as a kid.Is there anything you can tell us about Coach Landry that "we"might not know?Was he always as calm as it seems he was?

[ROMOSAPIEN9]

Hos...you can probably phrase this question better than I can. But I'd like to know some of his recollections of "Thurman's Thieves." Maybe a quick anectdote, and if they as a group still keep in touch.

Gotta love the Thurman's Thieves. Can't let that topic go unmentioned.

Cubby, do you like pudding?

Everson,

First of all thank you for the taking the time to come answer questions and above all for the many years of enjoyment you gave us by your outstanding play on the football field.

What does it mean to you now to be a former star football player for the Cowboys?

Do you still get a certain amount of pride when the current Cowboys do well and perhaps a little pain when Cowboys do not do well? Or is that something only us fans do?

Again, thank you very much for the great memories you provided us Cowboys fans.

Dear Everson Walls,

I remember early in your career ( I was very young) my father would say, "They keep picking on him and he's gonna make em pay again, this kid has talent." Sure enough you always did. That memory of my father will always be in my heart when I see #24. Can you share some fond memories with us about your youth, career, time with Landry, and now your ministry? Thanks and I believe you are already in the hall of fame...

Cubby,How many RC sodas did you win off of Doug Williams in practice?That was one heck of a scout team you played on as a freshman.
