MOOOOOSSSEEEE!!!!!. Each time he got a carry the crowd would explode. MOOOOSSEEEEE!!!!

Newhouse was a BEAST!!!!! Loved Moose as well. Loved all these guys!!!

Mr. Newhouse was one of my all time favorite Cowboys players. He was incredible in his day. Mike Alstott was like a clone of Mr. Newhouse for those who never saw him play.

I always said that Ron Springs would have been a perennial 1,000 yard rusher if he was used as a premiere back, but of course Dallas also had Dorsett. They were both great and fun to watch.

Good job breaking down the different types of FB over the years. You gave a sound, logical argument for Johnston being #1. One thing I will say though, is that while Johnston was so good they invented the dedicated FB position just so they could send him to the Pro Bowl, Walt Garrison was so good he made the Pro Bowl WITHOUT there being a dedicated FB spot in the Pro Bowl, despite him no longer being a feature runner in 1972. I find both feats impressive, lol.

Garrison and Moose were both awesome. Darryl being quietly humble and Walt being outspoken, each one were great in their time. America's fullbacks!!!👍🍻

The "Moose" from Syracuse, it's a Moosedown!! -John Madden 😂👍🏈

Don Meredith once said of Walt Garrison's consistency "if it's 3rd and 3 give the ball to Walt he'll get you 4 yards if it's 3rd and 20 give the ball to Walt and by God he'll get you 4 yards"

i wish Football would go back the 70s and early 80s.

Walt Garrison was definitely the funniest character of all Cowboys fullbacks. As a rookie, he signed with the Cowboys and negotiated a horse trailer as part of his contract. Once Walt was asked if he ever saw coach Tom Landry smile. "Nope," said Garrison, "but I only played for him nine years." His teammate Roger Staubach had 3-4 daughters and asked Garrison what he was doing to get a boy. Walt replied, "I don't know, but I'll tell you what, if you want to bring Mary Ann (Roger's wife) by the house, I'll try and get ya one." Garrison injured his knee in an exhibition steer wrestling accident at the College National Rodeo Finals in 1974 ended his pro football career. Garrison said that FB Don Perkins taught him how to succeed at the pro level, and then Garrison used that mentoring experience to teach Robert Newhouse what he learned after Newhouse joined the Cowboys late in Garrison’s career.

The Moose made the Goat possible, both outstanding players we were lucky enough to have them together for all the years they played.

There will never be another Moose. He could do whatever was needed, and he showed up as much as anyone in Playoff games and Super Bowls. Smith and Johnston fit together like peanut butter and jelly. Another great list. To show how great Springs was, as a 5-10 year old during his career, I thought he was a WR!

Best Dallas Cowboys you tube Channel analysis breakdowns sensational this is awesome channel Go Cowboys

Moose was like having a guard come out of the backfield. The casual fan just does not understand what he was doing.

100 percent agree with Moose on top. I don’t know why he doesn’t get more HOF consideration. Blocking is an invaluable part of the game and no FB every did it better. He was a perfect soldier, did exactly what was asked of him.

Great that you don't use statistics to compare apples and oranges. So many including politicians do that. You are absolutely correct about the evolving nature of positions especially the fullback position. In a Woody Hayes style of "3 yards in a cloud of dust" the role of a fullback would obviously be different than in a west coast open offense. You take those type of changes into account when making your selection for best. Whether one agrees with your choice or not, your choices are consistent. But, I did love to watch Perkins!

Walt Garrison might have been one of the toughest players of all time. He was a legitimate cowboy off the field. On the field he was slow and almost always looked completely reckless and out of control but none of that mattered because he got the job done.

Well bro, you did it again! Great video!!!!!!!! WOW! I had forgotten how great Ron Springs was…. I have to agree Moose was a road grader…. He would steam roll people so we could all watch Emmitt become the GOAT! I miss those guys

Ron Springs was not only a Great Football Player but He was also a Good & Great Person. May GOD Bless His Soul. He was such a down to earth person that you wouldn’t even think of him being a Football Star celebrity.

Man, another great list. I can't argue with your logic here, my personal favorites are Robert Newhouse and Walt Garrison but what Darryl Johnson had done for Emmit is inmeasurable and Don Perkins... well he's in the Ring of Honor and says enough in itself.

I think moose is one of those players that you had to have seen play or watch a lot of film of. He was the embodiment of team player, like Bates, but absolutely the best of his position. As a child I remembered being enamored with Robert newhouse after I met him and realized his thighs were bigger than I was

They were all great players! If I had to choose one of these guys as my favorite, I would choose Walt Garrison! He once finished a ball game with a broken ankle and if I'm not mistaken, played the next week as well! You really can't go wrong choosing any of these guys! They were all great in their time! I've been waiting for you to come out with this one! Great job! I appreciate you putting these together and sharing! God bless! DC4L! Go Cowboys!

LC, you've hit another one out of the park. Always so insightful. I met Walt Garrison on a book signing tour in 1988. He had just released his book, "Once A Cowboy". The guy is a hoot. Plenty of stories to tell and just an all around great guy.

Great list, as usual. I had forgotten what a good player Ron Springs was. Walt Garrison was as tough as they come.

I liked all the FBs but Newhouse was my favorite. One of my favorite players of all time. A tough man who never got the respect he deserved.

I never saw Walt Garrison play, but I remember the Skoal commercials.

Grew up watching Newhouse which is why my football jersey was 44. R.i.p!

The whole time I was growing up, watching these (pre-1978) Cowboy greats, they only played a 14-game season. Robert Newhouse was my favorite FB. He was built so low to the ground and his legs were so powerful that he was like a mini Earl Campbell. I loved watching him as a kid in Florida, where the Cowboys were on TV just about every Sunday (or MNF). Just an outstanding list. It would be outstanding if it were for the entire NFL, let alone one team. What a rich history we have! #DC4L

Nobody gave Ron Springs enough credit who was the total package

I always liked Ron Springs back in the day! He seemed to take up right where Preston Pearson left off. It's great to see him get some love. The Cowboys certainly don't lack for great players in their history! Awesome video!

I didn’t realize that Ron Springs was a fullback I always thought that he was one of the top 3rd down back in the league a good runner and excellent receiver

Once again 100% on board with your select great job love this album you're creating

They wanted another Preston Pearson in Springs. Springs caught alot of passes but he never wowed me as a runner like Newhouse. Newhouse mostly sat the bench those last four years. When they gave him carries, which were few, he'd run over people like always and then back to the bench he would be sent. I don't know if I ever saw Springs break a tackle the whole time he played. Springs did what he was asked, which was try to be another Preston Pearson, but the Cowboys hurt themselves by relegating Newhouse to the bench. Newhouse and Dorsett in the backfield, was the starting backfield of two straight Super Bowls. They changed that backfield and never appeared in another Super Bowl in that era.

Man, I *just* found your channel (and of course subscribed) and I love your content! I grew up the biggest Cowboy fan on the planet. Your analysis is dead on. I always had Don Perkins as the greatest Cowboy`s fullback, BUT I now agree with your break down, as Johnston was not asked to carry the ball so that can`t be held against him. Good stuff!

Great list! Thanks! I agree that Darryl Johnston was the best fullback of the Cowboys, the best of his time, and maybe the best of all time.

An aspect to consider with the stats for some of the Cowboys fullback was that they were done in the 14 games per season era; as the NFL went to a 16 game season in 1978.

Amazing Content! You never disappoint. One thing I love about all of your lists (besides your amazing statistical analysis) is that Regardless of where we as fans rank each player you always have the right ones in the top 5.

Great video as always!!!! I simply love the detailed way you break down each player. I was too young to watch Perkins, remember Garrison vaguely, watched Newhouse and Springs most of their careers and watched Moose all through the 90s. I remember when Moose and Novacek retired how downhill those teams went. once again great video and thanks for all your effort!

Everybody loves the Cowboys... They just can't bring themselves to admit it.

Good list. Even though he doesn’t belong on the list, I was also a fan of Timmy Newsome, too. Big with deceptive speed, he was a good short yardage runner who was also productive as a receiver. Too bad he was a starter during their decline.

Great presentation. No argument about Moose being number one. But if i had one, it would be that Newsome was more of a weapon in the backfield. Also an honorable mention out to Scott Laidlaw. Keep up the good work.

Perfect list !....COWBOYS 4-EVER

Maybe I'm too old school, but I really wish the league would bring back the FB position. I miss it. I think it's so LAME when a team goes three tight ends or lines up a back up OL or DL player in the backfield. Just get a damn FB for Pete's sake!

Thankyou for the outstanding video.

Newhouse for sure is my favorite of the list. But they all were great.

Above all, what these guys had in common is that they were unselfish team players. They had great attitudes and were humble performers. They are all tied for first on the list.

Man, you kick ass! Glad to see those views creepin up, you deserve it! This was a tough list, putting Johnston at #1 had to be..I grew up with Newhouse and Springs, both were better athletes, but as far as importance to overall team success, has to be #48. Emmitt doesn't break the record w/o DJ.

Well, you did it again. I truly appreciate your insight. These men did as much to contribute to Dallas' success as anyone. I would have put Moose as number 1 and a four-way tie for 2nd. That's why you're the GOAT! You do an amazing job. I don't know if you got to see all these men play or not, but they were all special.

MAN- YOU ARE ON POINT WITH THESE VIDS AND CONTENT. I THOUGHT I HAD ALL THE ANSWERS LLOL

LC, your deductive presentation of who was the best Cowboys fullback was sound and succinct. Moose Johnston to me never received the accolades he so richly deserved. This is a good start. Have a great weekend.

Great content 🏆

You nailed it again, 100%!

Miss the FB so much....power football!!!!

If you’ll look at height, weight. & build, Robert Newhouse and Emmitt Smith look very similar. Don’t know how their 40 times compare, but similar guys from different eras.

Dude I can't wait till your next video your videos are consistent mine well it's kind like playing baseball a lot of times you strike out but every now and then you hit one out of the park lol

I played in high school with Moose (He didn't have that nickname yet). It was cool watching Daryl's career.

I love it DC4L

Great list!

I certainly cant argue with the list but I probably would have Newhouse close or at the top myself. He was a tremendous fullback.

Cowboys need to draft a true Full Back in this years draft.

Thank you, Logical Cowboy.

Oh man I haven't had time to comment on your Tight End video and now this! More soon!

I had forgotten how good Springs and Newhouse was. Walt Garrison and Don Perkins were before my time. Moose was something else...

Hey, Dallas Nation! If you would like to support the channel, you can donate to $ThelogicalCowboy.

O and it was Fred Newhouse won a gold medal in the 4x400 relay in the 76 Olympics

Ronspringsclutchman

Perkins retired as the 5th all time leading rusher in NFLhistory. That with by far of the majority being up the middle.

Couldn’t agree more ! I’m old enough to have seen all of them play. Great list.

As a Cowboys fan as a kid in the '70s and a Cowboys fan as a 20 something in the '90s, it's going to be hard to pick FBs over Robert Newhouse (R.I.P.) and Daryl "MOOSE" Johnston! SIDE NOTE: It's COMPLETE BLASPHEMY that FB "MOOSE" Johnston AND TE Jay Novacek aren't in the RING OF HONOR! COMPLETE BLASPHEMY. I don't think what "MOOSE" did for Cowboys gets him in the HALL OF FAME - BY THEIR LAME A** "MEASURING STICK" - but he would be in mine! But what "MOOSE" did for the Cowboys, he should DEFINITELY be in the RING OF HONOR! Similar situation with Novacek. He didn't have a long enough "SUSTAINED" career by their LAME A** standards, but what he did for the Cowboys should put him in the RING OF HONOR! In the '90s I was never a big fan of all that triplets talk and all the talk about Dallas' offensive line. I think it diminished what "MOOSE" AND Novacek did for them! Same thing or similar with WR Drew Pearson, who FINALLY got into the HALL OF FAME! Every time they talk about Pearson they bring up the HAIL MARY play. Show it enough times to people who didn't actually watch him Play and they'd think that's the only thing he did in his career, so why should he be in the HALL OF FAME? At least that's one of my theories on WHY it took Pearson so long to get in the HALL OF FAME. That, and the fact he played for the "COWBOYS."

Tom Landry was that coach from Dallas 40

Giddy up Cowboys

I have no idea why kickers and punters are in the HOF but Moose is not. His blocking and pass catching were a huge contribution to that dynasty.

I almost suggested that you do a feature on Robert Newhouse the other day.

Forgot Marion barber but you hit it on the head Cowboys always had a really good fullback.

Walt Garrison came to my wedding. What an honor.

Moose Johnson...Walt Garrison...Don Perkins...Robert Newhouse...Best all-time Cowboys FBs...Ron Springs was more of a HB...RIP...

1. Walt Garrison 2. Robert Newhouse 3. Don Perkins 4. Moose 5. Scott Laidlaw 6. Ron Springs

I'm disappointed Timmy Newsome didn't get an honorable mention. He did everything that was asked of him for the team and did it well IMO. I know there are some great players on this list so maybe he doesn't make it but at least mentioning him would be nice.

Walt could only go 5 yards BUT he would get the 5 fn yards when you needed it. And he never fumbled. My old high school Lewisville TX.

Sorry I missed this one, difficult list to do. Landry could approach one of his backs on Tuesday. Tell him to eat these bananas, peanut butter, and ice cream. You’ll be lining up at full back this week. That plus they ran so many split back formations at times it just did not matter what the title was. Thank you logical.

Daryl Johnston was probably the last true fullback lol and who could forget the touchdown pass from Newhouse his brother was a good runner a gold medal winner I think from the university of Houston the one thing a full back should do is block maybe you are right about the boys drafting o line then maybe an edge rusher but you know who will be still sitting Roshon Johnson yep the longhorn that should have fresh legs lol

To me : #1 Newhouse #2 Johnston #3 Springs #4 Garrison #5 Perkins

1. Perkins 2. Newhouse 3. Garrison 4. Springs 5. Moose. I might switch 2 and 3, because Garrison was a great receiver and a legit runner and blocker. Perkins and Newhouse were both light when it came to receiving. But the fact is this- Perkins was over 1000 yards from scrimmage 3 times, the rest of those guys only did it once. Of course, the problem is was Perkins a fullback or halfback in those early days? Amos Marsh looks to me like he was the half back. I know he is listed as the fullback on PFR, but I'm not convince that is correct. If not, then Marsh had 1000 yards from scrimmage as a fullback and Perkins only did it once. If Perkins was actually the fullback, then he did it 3 times and should be #1. BTW, that one year Marsh had was pretty amazing.

Perk, Walt, Robert, Daryl, then gimmee Ron or Timmy.

Meredith told a story on Walt. He said if you need 5 yards Walt would get you 5 yards. If you need 15 yards Walt would get you 5.

Donperkins

Timmy Newsome belongs on this list.

Robert Newhouse is Number one, out the University of Houston Cougars he was the very best. SB Twelve, in New Orleans Super Dome again The Orange 🍊 Crush Denver Broncos. America Team was World 🌎 Championship

The HOUSE!!!!

By the way, I've got another request. You may already plan this, I don't know. Are you doing a free safety and strong safety video? Let's hope so... So I guess this might be a second request. How about after the positions are done, a top five list of role players, regular players who weren't starters but contributed a lot? Oh, here's a third request! How about a 5 best rookies in Cowboy history? I'd better stop before I jam up your video making calendar for the rest of the year...

Fullback was a great position in smashmouth football but today the game is so much faster and the linemen so much bigger it's just not very productive.- I never realized Ron Springs was listed as a FB for 6 of his 8 seasons. it confused me a lil when you had him on the FB list. NP

Mooseontheloose

Newhousedorsettwaltgarrison

Robert Newhouse set the Standard

1: Walt Garrison 2: Moose 3: Ron Springs.

I love Moose. But Newhouse and Ron Springs are the best fullback in Cowboys history.

Johnny Newhouse

I got to give it to you playboy u are the equivalent To NFL films. u just doing cowboys work. if the Jones family was smart they would let run everything media and you got the voice got to have the voices.

I hate the cowboys with a passion. But casting Garrison for the chewin tobacco commercial was genius. Just a pinch between my cheek and gum sell that shit daddio sell that shit.

Mooooooooooose.......
