I'm aware that Dorsett won the starting position in 77. But to me he put to bed any questions in 1978 of a dual running back tandem that Landry was known for. Dorsett changed the league he is still one of the smallest backs to ever make the hall of fame.

When Tom Landry in a team meeting told his offensive linemen that "Tony is a different type of runner, you guys just put your hat on your man, and he'll run to what he sees" the Cowboys knew they had something special. We all love Emmitt Smith, and he has the rushing title but if I'm building a Dallas Cowboys team from scratch with all Cowboys players in their history, I'm starting with TD as my running back.

@@senecanicholson1090 the ones he started out with were easily that good. But the Steelers of the late '70s were miles better, comparatively, than the AFC teams of the '90s. Ralph Neely, Herb Scott, John Fitzgerald, Tom Rafferty, and Pat Donavan were solid in '77. Rayfield Wright, a HOFer, missed most of '77 but was back in '78 in place of Donavan, who was still damn good. Don't get me wrong: the '90s line was terrific, and I don't know which one I'd take over the other, but you wouldn't want to stand out there in the flat with any of the '70s guys pulling on you.

Amen preaching the gospel truth about this subject matter, Tony Dorsett was running all over the Steel Curtian Defense in Superbowl #13 , and Tom Landry was being conservative, and not using Tony Dorsett the right way against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cowboys got away from running to being fancy and it Cast Dallas Cowboys Franchise a Superbowl Championship. Dallas should've beaten the Steelers that day, I can't look at the tape of that game . Heartbreaking . And Jackie Smith drop a Touchdown in the Third quarter, and Randy White fumble the kick of return .

Speaking of pretty....Phyllis George. Yes sir. : ) Dorsett had the fastest straight ahead acceleration to top speed I think I've seen in the NFL. That may be why he was so good running inside, as Landry said. Criminally underrated by some bloggers over the past decade who don't know their stuff. He's one of the greatest RBs of all time. Reminding people of his historic greatness in college only reinforces that. I'm liking these bio backstories, and how closely you're examining this footage. Keep up the good work.

Excellent video on a true legendary player who was one of my heroes when I was a child. Then somehow the Cowboys got him & he led them to 2 Super Bowls. TD is the reason that I liked the Cowboys in addition to being a Steelers fan. Even when they faced each other in the Super Bowl I would've been fine with a Cowboys victory because TD was from Pittsburgh. So I watched the Cowboys when possible & learned about other great Cowboys players & realized the entire NFL had lots of great men like Roger Staubach. Again thanks for a great video that does justice to TD.

TD one of the best to ever touch the football...believe that! Great video Logical, keep up the good work bro! I remember watching the 77 season and being mad at Landry for not running TD enough! I loved Newhouse and he was an underrated back himself, however, TD would be the key component that made the Boys champions again!!! The Cowboys would have had one or two more titles had Staubach not retired when he did, as he was playing his best football. Danny White was a good quarterback, but he had a knack for horrible interceptions and fumbles in crunch time. We had three consecutive losses in the NFC championship in the 80, 81, and 82 seasons, and I guarantee you we won at least one, if not two or three, with Roger. Tony was great and one of the top 5 backs to ever play (my opinion). He was number two in rushing yards at the time of his retirement. A great back with otherworldly speed and vision.

@@christophertracy2807I can’t hold that against Landry. Dorsett was much older when Walker came. Now don’t get me started on Walker. I think he was not the back he could have been. Mainly because of his lack of vision. It was like he ran through the line with his eyes closed, he ran right into situations that a man with his speed and agility could have easily gotten out of. But this ain’t a Walker video. I think that maybe Landry’s problem was that Walker wasn’t the back that TD was. That team was designed around TD and Walker couldn’t fit.

It is funny how your memory works. It has been decades since I can recall seeing TD's college highlights and the iconic memories seemed to have always been in a dark jersey, clearly he had the more memorable runs in the white Panther uniforms. Maybe my memories of him running in all of those college highlights just transformed into a Cowboy jersey after all of the years seeing him playing for The 'Boys. Either way, TD had a memorable style that was smoother than Dickerson and shifty in a style of a Barry Sanders, while acknowledging Barry's shiftiness was all together different. Another awesome video.

If you take the time to watch his teammates in the backfield, you’ll see guys just blowing out the opposing players time after time…. Which allowed TD to get to the next level… great blocking!!!

Maybe Tony Dorsett could do better than what we have now in the backfield, but sadly TD has CTE symptoms. He even said in a 2017 interview he was fighting CTE symptoms. I know you can only be diagnosed with a brain biopsy after you die, but you can be diagnosed with the symptoms of it. Still when TD was playing, he was a big part why the Cowboys succeeded in the 1977 season and Super Bowl. They finally had that speedster running back who could take it to the 2nd level once he got past the linebackers on run plays. He was a dual threat running and as a receiver.

I think I told you how I used to run into this guy a lot when I worked in Dallas. He always ate at this seafood place that we liked to go to for lunch. He would sit near the window by himself with a bucket of crawdads. I’m proud to say I resisted the urge to bug him. Not even once. I let the man eat in peace. Anyways, great video.

@@thelogicalcowboy I teach 10th grade English and our textbook had a “Newsweek” article about how he brought together his small town in Texas through his football talent that was racially divided. I made a little highlight video of some of his tackles as a Cowboy, but you have WAYYY more talent than I do to make a video! I like to show the students his playing along with reading and discussing the article.

If Landry hadn’t been so stuck in his ways, TD would have helped them win one or two more Super Bowls. I was a cowboys fan back then, but the constant let down after those glory years, wore my heart out. The Smith, Aikman, Jimmy Johnson years were good for the cowboys faithful. I was done by then and only rooted for them when they played the hated, Pittsburgh Steelers. 🎉

Tony Dorsett had an interesting statistic with the Cowboys. Dallas won 80% of games where TD ran for 100 yards or more. That may have also been as a result of Tom Landry taking him out of games that were out of reach of winning. Landry didn't want to run his star runner into the ground for no reason, to his credit. Either way he was a great back and great to watch....
