The Great Wall of Dallas (A Football Life)

[Ty Cobb]

Did anyone see this special on the NFL Network.  Great story about the OL that paved the way for the COWBOYS in the early 90's.  This group has been considered as the greatest offensive line in the history of football. Look where they came from. 

 

Kevin Gogan-8th round draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys in 1987.

 

Nate Newton-signed with the redskins in 1983 as an undrafted free agent as was cut.  Played in the USFL, then signed with the Cowboys as a free agent in 1986.

 

Mark Stepnoski-3rd round draft pick of the Cowboys in 1989.

 

Mark Tuinei-Undrafted free agent of the Cowboys in 1983 as a defensive lineman.  Stuck behind Randy White on the depth chart so he moved to offensive tackle.

 

Erik Williams-3rd round pick of the Cowboys in 1991 with a choice Dallas received from the Steve Walsh trade.

 

John Gesek-10th round pick in 1987 by the L. A. Raiders.  Traded to Dallas in 1990 for a 5th round pick.

 

 

 

Larry Allen came later, 1994, as a 2nd round pick.

Imagine if Barry Sanders had a o line like that.
