Dreaming of the days when it was Dallas & Green Bay (we couldn't beat them). Lombardi & Landry. Bart Star and Dandy Don.
Smash mouth and no crying about it. Yes, those were the days. You knew what the Packers were going to run, yet you couldn't
stop them. Sounds a bit like the 90's Cowboys right?

Wow. I'll admit - I'm 31 years old and never got a chance to see this generation of Cowboys.

That play at 2:22 is so freaking unbelievable. All-out effort and heart there

You missed some great ones. The Landry era had some thrillers, success, and heartbreaks. The one thing for sure is we knew how to get into the playoffs year after year, and many times at least to the Championship Game if not the Super Bowl.

I always wondered how utterly devastating White and Too Tall could have been playing in an attacking pressure defense instead of that reading Landry Flex defense.

Anything that makes Mark May unhappy makes me happy. He's truly objectionable.

Manster would be small to play DT today. Not in heart or desire but in stature. I don't think he ever weighed much over 260 pounds. Even OT and G were smaller back in the day though. Heck Rayfield Wright only weighed around 280 pounds

Manster would be a LB'er today and a damned good one. My favorite Manster story was when he drove through a picket line because the players were on strike and if players wanted their annuity they had to cross the line. He just wanted to play football, screw the rules and the money wasn't big back then. I think the story was he drove up in a big old truck with Don Smerik beside him, revved the engine, popped the clutch and the players had to let him through. It was ugly but that was Manster.

Landry played him at linebacker his first year.
