Aikman as a rookie had Mark Tuinei (Pro Bowl), Nate Newton (Pro Bowl), Tom Rafferty, Crawford Ker, and Kevin Gogan (Pro Bowl) as his o-line. 

Big difference compared to this Bengals o-line

Gogan's first pro bowl was 5 years later. Newton's first was 4 years later. Tuinei's was 5 years later.

Rafferty was 35 and started half the games in his last season.

The way Crawford Ker anchored that line on a team that went 25-54 in 5 years makes him one of the all-time great Cowboys. 🤣

 

Aikman got sacked 90 times in his first 3 years (38 games)

These sacks were Reggie, Clyde, LT, and others actually falling on him.

Then the Cowboys line got really good in 1992.  Erik Williams was literally a massive reason why.

Larry Allen joined the lineup in 1994 and they were beastly

 

Take a look at Emmitt's production in years 1 and 2 before Williams and then the 4 Super Bowl/NFCCG years with him.

Or you could pretend just they were a great line before 1992.
