What the Dallas Cowboys documentary DIDN'T show (ex-defensive coordinator tells all)
The Netflix documentary, “America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys,” chronicles the highs and lows of the 90’s Cowboys from the perspectives of those who lived it — and willed it into existence. Across eight episodes Jerry Jones, Jimmy Johnson, Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, Barry Switzer and many others in the Cowboys universe describe what made that time and those teams so special. Often compared to “The Last Dance,” the seminal documentary on the power of the 1990’s Chicago Bulls, “America’s Team” shows how not just the Cowboys but the whole NFL evolved throughout the decade. On this episode of The Takeaway with Alex, Dave Wannstedt, the Cowboys defensive coordinator for the ascent of that dynasty, shares more of his perspective, including some details about the Jerry Jones-Jimmy Johnson relationship that didn’t make it into the final cut of the series.
