Houston Oilers

The Houston Oilers selected Dishman in the fifth round (125th overall) of the 1988 NFL Draft. He was the 15th cornerback drafted in 1988.

1988 season

On July 16, 1988, the Houston Oilers signed Dishman to a four–year rookie contract that would keep him under contract with the Oilers throughout the 1991 NFL season. [6]

Throughout training camp, he competed against Richard Johnson to possibly be the No. 2 starting cornerback due to a contract holdout by Patrick Allen. Head coach Jerry Glanville named Dishman a backup and listed him as the third cornerback on the depth chart to begin the season, behind Steve Brown and Richard Johnson.

On September 4, 1988, Dishman made his professional regular season debut in the Houston Oilers’ season-opener at the Indianapolis Colts and recorded four solo tackles as they won in overtime 17–14. [7] In Week 2, Dishman earned his first career start in place of Steve Brown who was inactive due to a hamstring injury and set a season-high with three pass deflections as the Oilers defeated the Los Angeles Raiders 38–35. He finished his rookie season in 1988 with 20 combined tackles (16 solo), five pass deflections, and a forced fumble in 15 games and two starts. [8]

1989 season

He returned to training camp slated as a backup cornerback and special teams player. Head coach Jerry Glanville named Dishman a backup and listed him as the third cornerback on the depth chart to start the season, behind starting duo Patrick Allen and Steve Brown.

On October 15, 1989, Dishman made two solo tackles, a pass deflection, and made his first career interception off a pass thrown by Mike Tomczak to wide receiver Glen Kozlowski during a 33–28 victory at the Chicago Bears. [9] In Week 4, he recorded two combined tackles (one solo) and set a season-high with four pass deflections as the Oilers routed the Miami Dolphins 39–7.

[14] On January 10, 1990, the Houston Oilers announced their decision to hire Jack Pardee to be their new head coach. [15] Throughout training camp, Dishman was impressive in the absence of starters Steve Brown and Patrick Allen. Steve Brown would miss the majority of training camp due to an injury while Patrick Allen was in the midst of a holdout due to a contract dispute. Head coach Jack Pardee named Dishman and Richard Johnson the starting cornerbacks to begin the season. [16]

On October 14, 1990, Dishman set a season-high with six combined tackles (five solo), made two pass deflections, and intercepted a pass Boomer Esiason threw to Kendal Smith as the Oilers routed the Cincinnati Bengals 17–48. [17] In Week 13, he recorded three solo tackles, tied his season-high with three pass deflections, and intercepted a pass attempt Dave Krieg threw to wide receiver Jeff Chadwick during a 10–13 loss at the Seattle Seahawks. [18] He started in all 16 games throughout the 1990 NFL season for the first time in his career and finished with 51 combined tackles (48 solo), 25 pass deflections, four interceptions, and a forced fumble. [19] Pro Football Reference recorded 62 total tackles for Dishman in 1990. [8]

1991 season

The Houston Oilers selected cornerbacks Darryll Lewis in the second round (58th overall) and Steve Jackson in the third round (71st overall) of the 1991 NFL Draft following the departures of Patrick Allen and Steve Brown.

Along with safeties Bubba McDowell and Michael Dumas, the Oilers secondary became known as “the Young Guns”. [20]

On September 16, 1991, Dishman made four combined tackles (three solo), one pass deflection, and secured a 7–17 win against the Kansas City Chiefs by intercepting a pass Steve DeBerg threw to wide receiver Fred Jones in the fourth quarter.

He set a career-high with six interceptions throughout the season. [8] His performance earned him a selection to the 1992 Pro Bowl, marking the first Pro Bowl selection of his career.

1992 season

Dishman had fully completed his four–year rookie contract, but was unable to negotiate with any teams as the Oilers still held his player rights without the existence of free agency prior to 1993. He was unable to come to terms on a contract and subsequently was a training camp holdout along with seven other teammates, including Pro Bowlers Warren Moon, Mike Munchak, William Fuller, Sean Jones, and Curtis Duncan. [27] On September 2, 1992, the Atlanta Falcons proposed a trade for Dishman and a high round draft selection to the Houston Oilers in return for wide receiver Andre Rison. [28] Head coach Jack Pardee named Richard Johnson and Jerry Gray the starting cornerbacks to begin the season with Dishman continuing to holdout due to his contract throughout Week 1.

On September 10, 1992, the Houston Oilers re-signed Dishman to a two–year, $1.55 million contract that would keep him under contract with the team throughout the 1994 NFL season.

On January 5, 1993, the Houston Oilers fired defensive coordinator Jim Eddy after finishing the 1992 NFL season with a 10–6 record and losing in the first round of the playoffs to the Buffalo Bills who overcame a 35–3 deficit known as ”The Comeback”. [33] On January 30, 1993, the Houston Oilers hired former Philadelphia Eagles’ head coach Buddy Ryan to be their new defensive coordinator. [34] Head coach Jack Pardee named Dishman as the No. 1 starting cornerback to begin the season and paired him with Darryll Lewis.

On September 12, 1993, Dishman recorded five solo tackles, made two pass deflections, and forced a fumble by tight end Mike Dyal, recovered, and returned it 58–yards for a touchdown during a 0–30 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs.

He set career-highs in pass deflections and forced fumbles and tied his career-high of six interceptions. [36] [8]

The Houston Oilers finished the 1993 NFL season first in the AFC Central with a 12–4 record and earned a first-round bye in the playoffs. On January 16, 1994, Dishman made seven combined tackles (four solo) and two pass deflections as they lost 28–20 to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Divisional Round. [37]
