Veteran tight end Dalton Schultz, who had played the last four seasons in Dallas and spent 2022 playing on the franchise tag, decided to leave the Cowboys to sign with their in-state rival Houston Texans.
In his first year with the Texans, he racked up 635 total yards with five touchdown on 59 receptions. However, he's made it clear that playing in Dallas is essentially the same as being in a zoo!
While appearing on The Pat McAfee Show, he compared the cultures of Houston and Dallas, saying that Texans players are able to focus on football, while there are multiple distractions with the Cowboys.
“The focus is just football,” Schultz said of playing in Houston. “Going back and telling some people about being around the Cowboys’ practice facility and game day, describing some of the interactions and stuff that you see on a day-to-day basis, it surprises a lot of people. They’re like ‘Holy crap, that actually happens at a practice facility?’ You think it’s normal, and then you come to a place like this.”
“There’s people literally going on tours while you’re lifting in the weight room. They’ve got a one-way mirror for people to look in. It’s literally a zoo,” Schultz said of Dallas. “There’s people tapping on the glass, trying to get people’s attention while they’re doing power cleans or whatever. It’s different. That’s the brand that they’ve built, that’s what Jerry Jones likes, that’s the way they run things, and there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just you don’t realize how many eyeballs and how much that can maybe distract from stuff in the locker room being in the facility, until you go somewhere else and you’re like, ‘Holy crap, there’s none of that.’”
It's clear that there are major differences between the two franchises!
