Michael Irvin: Aikman lined up under guard in his first start

[WoodysGirl]

He said how impressed he was with him in the huddle. Really giving him props about how he called the play in the huddle. How he was walking around with authority. But he thought it was gonna be a long day when he line under the guard and yelled "Blue 18" lol

On a side note Sapp said Jamarcus Russell came into the locker room, had music turned on to "Make it Rain" and started throwing money in the locker room. Lol

I remember Aikman doing that(Elway did the same thing). I didn't remember it being Aikman's first start.

The segment on NFLN was about QBs first start, so in the context of the segment, I added it to the thread.

I don't personally remember that. I was still a touch young back then.

I didn't mean to imply that it didn't happen his first start. I just didn't recall it being his first start. I just remember him doing it.

For clarity on the Russell thing..





Sapp said, "You gone turn down free money?"

It's no problem. It may very well not have been and I misunderstood the timeframe. I was going off the segment title instead of following Irvin's exact words. Hard to do a recap from your phone. lol

I believe Crawford Kerr was the guard

I believe Crawford Kerr was the guard

He had to be wondering why Troy's hands were up his butt.

I love that one LOL

 

[KJJ]

I've seen veteran QB's line up under the guard.

Whoever the Guard was, I remember them telling the story that he said "it's not me big boy" or something like that to Aikman.
