Jeff Fisher on Mike and Mike said a Cowboys tackle begged off playing Reggie White

[WoodysGirl]

I was watching Mike and Mike and they were talking about the dominance of the Rams DL. He said they weren't as dominating from when Reggie White played.

But he through out a nugget about a Cowboys tackle used to get "tired before playing Reggie and they had a dominating group. "

He must have meant Erik Williams and I have never heard that in all the stories of Cowboys lore. I'd love to hear someone verify that.

I doubt it was Erik Williams. That guy wasn't afraid of anything. He probably was talking about some scrub in the late 80's or something.

 

[Bungarian]

It was not Larry Allen. After that one game Larry dominated Reggie.

I can promise you it wasn't Eric Williams . He seemed to love his battles with Reggie . More like white was a little tired when Eric came to town.

I watched them....BS

 

[Aven8]

Maybe Donaldson?? Eric Williams made everyone mad so I cannot imagine it was him

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Erik Williams owned Reggie White. Everybody who watched those games...even the most diehard Reggie White fans....knew that the one guy that dominated Reggie White was Erik Williams.

Erik Williams made his fame handling Reggie. It was the single biggest accomplishment of his career.
Erik is a Philly guy and playing back home versus RW was his biggest regular season game every year.

So not sure whom Fisher is referring to or how accurate it is.

Gogan??? Didn't he play a little tackle, Flozell??

I know Nate always said Jerome Brown was the toughest guy he ever faced.

 

[rags747]

Big E used to own WHITE, Madden used to rave about it. BIG E would be in the HOF if not for that car accident.

 

[Hoov]

Reggie played a lot of years before e Williams. So it was likely the tackle that played before Erik did.

 

[Primetime42]

Didn't Erik make Reggie cry once?

 

[noshame]

If fact, I'm sure I remember Reggie crying after facing EW didn't he?

 

[BAZ]

I mean it has to be true, no way the great and altruistic Jeff Fisher would hype up something to put himself over. That guy is just way too classy for that.

 

[Everson24]

I just heard that. I think the tackle was Phil Pozderac but I could be wrong on this.

 

[PhillyCowboysFan]

Guys it isn't anyone that has been mentioned. It definitely wasn't during our 90's team. He had to be referring to the late 80's team when Buddy Ryan was the couch of the Eagles. Reggie, Clyde, Mike and Jerome intimated everyone.

Remember Troy's 11 sack game. The Eagles body bag game to mention a few of the games that they just scared the hell out of offensive lineman.

 

[Everson24]

I'm sure it was Pozderac. He retired abrubtly during the 1987 season and right before an Eagles game that featured Reggie White and also had Jeff Fisher as their DB coach.

Erik Williams owned Reggie White. Everybody who watched those games...even the most diehard Reggie White fans....knew that the one guy that dominated Reggie White was Erik Williams.

Erik made the preacher cuss. That's all you really need to know about that matchup to know who dominated who.

East Coast bias.
