FRISCO, Texas -- In studying the Dallas Cowboys' offense the past week, Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer can’t help but think he has seen this before.
Zimmer joined the Cowboys as an assistant coach in 1994 and won a Super Bowl the following season. He saw the Triplets -- Hall of Famers Michael Irvin, Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith -- in practice every day and in games. He saw Jay Novacek, Daryl Johnston and an offensive line that had four Pro Bowlers: Mark Tuinei, Nate Newton, Ray Donaldson and Larry Allen.
As Zimmer has watched current Cowboys Ezekiel Elliott, Dez Bryant, Jason Witten, Dak Prescott and the offensive line, he sees the Cowboys’ offense of the 1990s.
