Daryl Johnston likes Dallas Cowboys' acquisition of Pacman

FILE PHOTO 1998

Former Cowboy Daryl Johnston (above) likes the trade for Pacman Jones because he's heard the team has a strong locker room to help if needed.

Former Dallas Cowboys fullback Daryl Johnston knows the dynastic 1990s Dallas teams were hardly off-field role models. But Johnston feels today's Cowboys could learn from the past. Several Cowboys have said recently it isn't their job to "babysit" guys such as Pacman Jones. That's not Johnston's exact thinking.
