93 vs 2016 O-line

[ringmaster]

He played 7 more seasons after that car accident, which included an all-pro year in 1996. I do think the quality of his play dipped after the accident, but I don't think it really impacted the length of his career. He admitted he never really worked out until he had to rehab after that accident. Late in his career he didn't look that fit.

Thanks for the correction.

It's a different era, the first place schedule means nothing. If your team has a stacked schedule, so does every team in your division. Outside of the pats there aren't any teams that dominate their division for years at a time anymore. This years first place teams are next years 3rd or 4th place teams. Just look at the NFC East, there hasn't been a back to back division winner since the eagles won it 4 straight seasons from 01-04. Other than that, there has been a different NFC East champ every season for the last 20 years. This year the only difference between the skins 1st place schedule and the Cowboys last place schedule was them playing the cardinals and panthers versus the Cowboys playing the niners and bucs. If the Cowboys had the 1st place schedule this season, I believe they would've had the exact same record that they have now. It's about beating the teams you have on the schedule, what those teams records were last year is meaningless.

No, a first place schedule is different. Next year we will play Atlanta and Green Bay. Green Bay has dominated their division and are usually in playoff contention. So yes, there is a difference.

The 90s line never had 3 All-pros. I'll take this new group.
