From 1992 to 1995, together with Erik Williams, Mark Tuinei, Mark Stepnoski, John Gesek and Kevin Gogan, he was part of some of the best offensive lines to play in NFL history, known as “The Great Wall of Dallas”. In 1992, because of the improved play of Erik Williams, he was moved back to left guard, in order for the team to have the best player combination possible in the offensive line. Jimmy Johnson became the Cowboys coach in 1989 and eventually moved him to the starting right tackle position and forced him to get into better shape after Johnson beat him in a running race. Even though he became a starter at left guard in 1987, his struggles to maintain his playing weight almost cost him being waived. He started out as a reserve offensive lineman, and was nicknamed 'the Kitchen' because he was bigger than William 'The Refrigerator' Perry, of Chicago Bears fame.
