This is how you make a great compilation video. No commentary, no replays, no slow-mos, no BS - just amazing plays. Nice job man!

[@CarlVandenberg]

As a Redskins fan in the 80's you always had to watch for Danny White taking off or throwing on 4th down in punt formation. Probably gave him a couple extra yards on his net punting average as teams had to take into account that he was a skilled quarterback in addition to being the punter.

[@stuartdollar9912]

Danny was an all around athlete. Played Third Base on a pair of Baseball National Championship teams in addition to rewriting the team record books for passing and punting. Might have been the best athlete to ever come out of the State of Arizona.

[@yobsam]

maybe the guys run too fast for them to do that?! Or the announcers talk to slow! They are probably not the ones doing the radio shows!!!

[@Rowgue51]

Part of it is that you don't see nearly as many long runs anymore. Defenses are much faster overall and pretty much every scheme is designed to keep everything in front of you and make offenses execute ten plus play drives if they're going to score on you. Most big plays these days are passes where all of the yardage is gained on the pass and the receiver goes down immediately after the catch. Plays where a guy gets the ball and motors thirty plus yards downfield are exceedingly rare now.

Danny White was quite an athlete, and this compilation helps to show that. He could pass, punt, and as you saw, also could run. He was flying.

[@stuartdollar9912]

At ASU, he was more or less given a green light to run fakes if he saw something that led to believe he could pick up a first down.

Man, there aren't many things more satisfying in football than a successful fake punt. The element of surprise makes it great.

[@DeosPraetorian]

Because QB's are more important

[@Mostlyharmless1985]

Punters are pretty damn important if you want to control field position, generally, you have a backup QB, you don’t have a backup punter. Your kicking dude gets hurt in a game, you have to figure something out to keep field control under control.

[@Mostlyharmless1985]

money gaming yes, they might have some time in high school kicking. But if you want a great defense you need a great punter.

[@AlphaGametauri]

@@Mostlyharmless1985 Couldn't field goal kickers take the place of punters in a back up scenario?

[@Mostlyharmless1985]

Alpha Gametauri sorta yes? That’s usually your first choice as an emergency punter but it’s not an ideal situation to be in. It’s a bit like asking a heart surgeon to do an appendectomy.

[@LC-uh8if]

4:31 Up by 7 from your own Endzone. That was one hell of a gamble. Can you imagine if it failed. I'm shocked by how many of these fake punts were done by teams that were ahead at the time.

[@AlphaFatti]

I feel like that wasn't planned. When the defensive player shifts look out how the receiver waives to the punter, then look at the other rusher, he goes straight not looking for a pass at all.

[@carsonwentz8301]

McCloud has a high IQ

[@dr.albantross1686]

Hell of a gamble is putting it lightly. If that play goes south and ends with a touchdown for the other team they’d never hear the end of it. Like writing yourself in the history books for all the wrong reasons kind of level.

[@samuelcreech8369]

Danny White QB/Punter for the Cowboys ran just about the best fake punts ever. He had good speed as well. Check out 9:52.

[@Stay___Strong]

Coy Groughtenhiemer Doug Cosbie almost had an awesome block on the last play. That might have opened Danny White for a much longer run.

[@Billy.gen-X]

Above average passer as well. Could punt on 4th down too!

[@pcguysoffgridcabin]

Danny White was well known to take off with a punt.

[@ericschminke8233]

In a 1982 game at Washington, the Cowboys were about to punt from deep in their own territory. The Redskins, setting up for a return, didn't rush White. Danny must've thought "If they aren't going to rush I might as well start running." So Danny took off. I don't recall how far he ran, but I'm guessing he had run about 10, maybe 15 yards before the Redskins realized that he hadn't punted. During that first 10-15 yards, except for the punt returner nearly all of the Redskins ran in the same direction as Danny. It would be great to locate the film of that play. The Cowboys won 24-10. It would be the Redskins' only loss during the strike shortened season. Man, Danny was definitely a multi threat.

[@texasstadium]

Danny Whitte was a gifted athlete. Too bad Doomsday wasn't quite what it used to be during his time as Dallas QB.

[@CitizenPerkins]

Haha, some of those plays were sooo pretty! Nice collection, sir!

[@MrBlaser51]

great stuff & brings back so many memories !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@IRanOutOfPhrases]

Honestly, that setup at 5:37 requires a lot of courage from the punter to sell it. Basically has to leave himself completely prone because if the other team figures out he still has the ball, he's getting completely obliterated. Probably not easy to keep your composure as you have two NFLers sprinting directly at you with intent to destroy you, lol

[@mastick5106]
