Readers will hear from players, coaches, and management as they discuss their moments of greatness as well as their defeats, making If These Walls Could Dallas Cowboys a keepsake no fan will want to miss.
if you are a Cowboys Fan, die hard fan, you will love the stories that Nick Eatman tells here. Some storiea will really surprise you - Witten was almost drafted by 49ers -. go Cowboys!
Goods stories of the Cowboys, though it mainly focused on early 2000's. I wish it detailed the later years (2008-2013 ?) Other than that though, the interactions and interviews in this book are great !
First of all, this book is filled with fascinating, behind-the-scenes stories, told as only Nick Eatman can. I loved the chapter dedicated to the war room stories during draft day, hearing about the heroics of Jerry Jones, or how the team almost didn't get Jason Witten. There were times when I was actually nervous reading about some of the interactions and transactions, though obviously knowing how each one turned out. To me, where the book falls short is its lack of emphasis on the Tony Romo era. I feel like 75% of what I read took place from 2001-2007, instead of 2008 and beyond. I know Romo has been with the team since 2003, but it would have been great to hear stories about his interactions with T.O., and other events that have happened more recently. Overall though, its a great read for any Cowboys fan. I'd highly recommend it.
