Cowboys news: The Mike Zimmer era has officially begun... again

Dallas’ new DC brings an intensity that every defense should have.

About 30 years ago, Darren Woodson was coming off his first Pro Bowl selection, to go along with two Super Bowl rings. In three seasons, he was already considered one of the NFL’s best safeties.

And then Mike Zimmer was named the new secondary coach heading into the 1995 season and it wasn’t long before he asked Woodson to visit him in his new office.

“He sat me down and we pulled out the tape and we went over every one of my bad plays from the previous year,” Woodson recalled.
