I like to thank the Martinez family for opening my eyes in 74.....and steering me in the the right way when it came to football n becoming a cowboy fan since then.

Wow. Otto Stowe. What a memory. What a team. Love hearing all those names and seeing them put to life here (even Mike Montgomery). As a 12-year-old, discovering NFL Films was to me, pure, clean, fun and honest entertainment of the highest order. It was exciting every time I caught an episode (seems like it was irregular programming. I always stumbled across "This Week in the NFL". or other shows. The team's year recap of the previous year was a real treat.). I could not get enough. Seeing the players and the action move in slow motion was a revelation of the ballet contained in these battles. You can see them beautifully execute those hours of practice. You see synchronicity at work. I enjoyed the films more than the actual games. The music tracks provided exposure to brands of classical and jazz music I might never have explored on my own. The narrators perfectly described the action and dramas we were witnessing so I could follow along clearly. Better than movies to me. The late, great, John Facenda's voice (he was Shakespear), routinely coined phrases I can always hear clearly: "The frozen tundra of Lambeau Field." or "The grim specter of Bob Lilly." I would even read the credits. Thank you to the late, great, Ed Sabol and crews. And equal thanks to his late, great, son Steve, who took it to the next level. And thank you, Sports Odessey or posting!

The Dallas franchise had sharp people, who knew what they were doing, at every level. That's why they just kept on chugging, no matter what, or no matter who retired. If Lilly retired, Randy White took over, etc, etc...they traded wisely to get great players, and they scouted and drafted well, had great coaches, shrewd game plans, and the on-field product rarely faltered, until they ran out of gas in the late 1980s.

The best thing the early 70s Cowboys did was get rid of Craig Morton. If only they'd done it sooner, but Landry had a strange fascination with him for too long.
@cordellsenior993511 ай бұрын
There were numerous dynamics involved. It was because Craig was actually very good. He could sling it. He could read defenses and was in control. Had a great arm and an enviable/ great pro career. (He got traded to the AFC and took Denver to its first Super Bowl.) Landry took so long because it was hard and rare to play rookies and young QBs in the NFL (until the 90s or so). It was hard to pull the trigger and demote a starter, short of injury in those days. It was hard to move off of him, but Roger had all that and more, and had a massive X factor. Moton did not go quietly. But ultimately, Craig was a pure pocket passer, and was exposed as such when the 'Boys smashed him Sb 12. He could not get out of the way. It was like Tom Brady against the Giants. Fair to say they "knew his weaknesses". So, he didn't suck, by any real NFL metric; it's that Roger was a next level Hall of Famer who had to wait his turn until it was painfully obvious (to Tom) who he needed to start.
