Dat Nguyen's Career Break Down! Cowboys Legends!

[@thelogicalcowboy]

Please don't mind the graphics. I have to add in the graphics so that the video won't be copyrighted. Thanks for watching guys! Also when Parcells first arrived he kept Zimmer's 43 defense. It took Parcells a few years to implement his 34 defense. But Dat and Coakley had great seasons in both concepts. Particularly the 34 defense as undersized linebackers. Two very underrated linebackers in our rich history of legendary linebackers.

[@paulwidener5691]

@@thelogicalcowboy spot on assessment. Even bradie james had a couple of seasons with parcells defense. coakley was the man and he could run sideline to sideline

[@freddymatt9614]

I had the privilege of playing against Dat in college. He was a phenomenal LB and was maybe the most frustrating opponent I can recall. It was difficult to even get a hand on him. He would duck under, run around and literally jump over blockers. He was one of a kind.

[@terrenceliburd8655]

I paused it @0:01 mark to say THANK YOU for profiling this great but almost forgotten LB. Him, Coakley, and Sean Lee are the best "tacklers" ive seen at the LB position. I havent seem them all but i know a great player when i see one Dat was him!!!

Great effort player. I'm glad his other old team lost last night though. ; ) 🤘 The 2003 Cowboys defense ranked #1 in yards, #2 in scoring. I'm glad you showed the historical context. A lot of people aren't aware of the plight of the Indochina boat people fleeing the horrors of the communist takeover in Vietnam and Cambodia. True refugees. Hundreds of thousands of them died in the attempt. To go from that to making millions as a pro football player is an amazing success story. Thanks for another awesome video!

[@_DB.COOPER]

Well Logical, what can I say, when I think you can’t get any better, anymore in-depth analysis on a player, you continually prove me wrong. It’s a travesty that you don’t have a Million subscribers. I urge everybody who follows you to spread the word about your hard work, dedication and what you do for Cowboy Nation. Like you said Dat Nyguen and Dexter Coakley were special. You know who is going to be truly special, DeMarvion Overshown. I’ve been with the Cowboys since 1966 and I have never seen a Linebacker with his kind of raw talent. He’s a Scud Missile right now but once he gets a guidance system the rest of the NFL will draw up game plans on how to avoid him. I predict he will leave a lasting impression on this league and I hope I’m still around to see your video about him. Keep up the good work my friend. Thank you.

Again proven,jerry keeps forgetting about the defense paying dak and CD all the money ,over the years we have lost great players to other teams and seeing it again in 2024 were if not for D we would not have won some crucial games with backup QB ho can barley move the offense. Just completely tired of an owner who doesn't know how to keep a team just like it started when he got rid of the best coach ever who didn't even reach his Potential. Just pure shame all these years and still stubborn in his lack of knowledge for the game.

[@shakarussanders9911]

@thelogicalcowboy Yep! That was Parcels first year and I'm sure you know he didn't like small linebackers. But Dat and Dexter Coaxley got his respect as tough small linebackers

[@komradkolonel]

He wasn't that big, he wasn't that fast, he wasn't that strong, but he had this ability to know where the ball was going to be and when it was going to be there. That's something that just can't be coached.

[@DavidCooper-d9t]

Dat Nguyen was a BAD, BAD MAN! "UNFORTUNATELY" - FOR HIM - he was a "VICTIM" of a few things. 1.) Injuries. He got hurt often. 2.) Genetics. Which goes a long with the injuries. I also I was believed he probably "MAXED OUT" his body. 3.) Bad Cowboys teams. Dat Nguyen "UNFORTUNATELY" "JOINED THE RANKS" of former Cowboys players "NEVER" to "WIN" a RING - with them. Something being a Cowboys fan since I was a kid, I thought I would NEVER, NEVER, EVER SEE. NEXT UP - if things don't "TURN AROUND" - FAST: Zach Martin. I could always live with the Cowboys having "BAD SEASON" and when they had "BAD PLAYERS", like in 1989. It's sports after all. Nobody can "WIN" forever. During the '90's I KNEW Dallas would "FALL BACK TO EARTH." There's NO WAY they were going to keep that run up. But if you would've told me - in or after 1995 - 1996 - it'd be 2024, going on 2025 and Dallas wouldn't even have SNIFFED THE SUPER BOWL, I would've LOST all the money in the bank, the house, the car, and all assets BETTING "AGAINST" THAT. Dallas has "UNFORTUNATELY" become like all those "OTHER", "REGULAR" teams that have "GREAT PLAYERS" - with NO SUPER BOWL - with them. The names are now PILING UP. Dez Bryant. Tony Romo. Tyron Smith. Jason Witten. DeMarcus Ware (though he "WON" a "SUPER BOWL" with Denver, that doesn't count for the Cowboys). Travis Frederick. About this video: Dat Nguyen. Dexter Coakley. Terence Newman. Sean Lee. The names are starting to add up at an alarmingly high rate, just like those "OTHER", "REGULAR" teams, like I said earlier, something I thought I would see, especially at the number Dallas' "GREAT PLAYERS" are starting to get at. The Jones' have really, really made a mess of things. SIDE NOTE NO. 1: When I first saw that Dallas had drafted Overshown, one of the FIRST THINGS I thought about was - even though it's still early in his career - I hope he doesn't play his career in Dallas and "NOT" GET A "RING" like Nguyen and Coakley, etc. SIDE NOTE NO. 2: Yet another great, great video, out of many great, great videos you've put out.

​@@thelogicalcowboy Once again, thank you. It's much, much appreciated. Yeah, I'm still thinking about starting a Cowboys theme channel. A couple of channels, actually, on different topics. I've always had a lot to say and I've come across multiple people who have suggested I start a channel or two, ect, about such things. MY THING HAS ALWAYS BEEN THIS: Politics, sports, religion (I always tell people, you'll find out just how much a person "DOESN'T KNOW" when the topics turn to politics, sports or religion) or any other topic. It's doesn't matter to me. Nobody has to agree with me on anything, on any topic. I'm not looking for any "PARTNERS" with what I think and believe, with my time on this planet. That's not "MY STYLE" - AT ALL. Someone, anyone or everyone can say, they don't agree with me - AT ALL. That's cool. But what they won't say is, I don't know what I'm talking about. Those are two completely different things. Don't agree with me. That's fine. But don't say, I don't know what I'm talking about - ON ANY TOPIC. If I don't know the topic we're having a discussion about, you can bet, I'm going to educate myself on it. THAT'S JUST WHO I AM. ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. ALWAYS WILL. Once again, thank you, and I'm looking forward to your next video - as usual. Thank you.
