We revisit the Cowboys’ grit with Daryl “Moose” Johnston and test it against today’s NFL, from camp culture and collisions to fullback value and playoff readiness. Simple rules, versatile personnel, and trench control emerge as the real edge.
• training camp stress, heat, cramps, and building cohesion
• how calibrated physicality prepares teams for collisions
• fullback versatility as a multiplier for modern offenses
• simple run menus, constraints, and post‑huddle disguises
• protection rules, handling blitzes, passing off stunts
• why pads matter for practice
• playoff field parity, line‑of‑scrimmage dominance
• myths of trap games and tanking vs player pride
• standout defenders like Max Crosby and Miles Garrett
• broadcasting lens that keeps the game simple
