Plus, the 1988 roster had Ken Norton jr., Irvin, Gogan, Jeffcoat (not old), Nate, Tuniei, Hershel on the roster, with a #1 pick coming the next year. Jimmie made the genius move of stocking up on draft picks. Not sure Tom would have done that. So there's that. But the 90's dominant offensive line was pretty much on the roster!
I was there too. I remember chants of Landry's washed up. The team was losing money, headed in the wrong direction and hadn't chipped since the year I was born.
Jimmy is a God. He's honestly one of my favorite people.
