'He's done one thing that I hold true' - Michael Irvin makes bold statement about Brian Schottenheimer's Cowboys after attending practice

It doesn't matter what platform he's on, there's one thing we all know about Dallas Cowboys legend Michael Irvin: He will hype up his former team. 

Whether it was throughout his years at NFL Network, appearances on ESPN, or now, in his YouTube channel, Irvin has a soft spot for the Cowboys. And over the weekend, he found a way to hype up the fanbase with a strong take about the Brian Schottenheimer era. 

"I walked out of (practice) real excited about this season," Irvin said on his YouTube channel. "You're gonna sleep and then we're gonna creep. Everybody talking about Washington, everybody talking about Philadelphia, 'the Cowboys have the hardest schedule we've ever seen, oh my god' (. . .) what y'all are trying to do when you say all of that is create this fear and anxiety." 

Though it was only OTAs, Irvin believes he saw enough in practice to shoot down the negative feelings around Cowboys Nation, which also reflect the oddsmaker's expectations about the team as Dallas is projected to win 7.5 games per Vegas. 

"What I saw today is what I needed to see so I can tell you, that (expletive) ain't going to work, because I saw a man that's trying to grab all of this opportunity that he has," said Irvin about Schottenheimer. "And he's changing that culture, and he's done one thing that I hold true: You must make people comfortable but then two things, competing like a mother problem under pressure."
