My favorite RB ever is Barry Sanders, but Tony Dorsett is my favorite Cowboys RB ever.

Dorsett is still my best RB... The boy was dangerous.

ME TOO ! 1975 vs OU -- DORSETT 17 YARDS JOE WASHINGTON 166 OU 46-PITT 10 A TOTAL SLOBBERKNOCKIN

@@jimnagel5611 Ahh come on man. While Joe Washington was a bad-boy; imagine if TD would have played for the #1 Sooners and JW for Pitt. BTW, Billy Sims played in the game.

❤️ Tony dorsett T.D

I suppose your talking films of him running cause you were just being born when he played for Pitt.

my mother adored him! they sent a lot of neat stuff to her down in Pensacola.

@@razorsedge7100 I remember him as a cowboy

No. You must hate him. One Star on helmet: Do Not Recommend

And I hated every B-eagles player that ever put on that ugly green uniform except for Reggie White, and he was smart enough to get out of Filthydelphia and go to Green Bay.

When I was a kid we all wanted to be Tony D or Sweetness

Well I'm a cowboys fan and I despise the eagles and I would make a list like yours but I can't remember anybody who played for Philadelphia that was any good. I mean especially during this time it was literally like well there's a W when we saw Philly coming up on the roster.

@@brt-jn7kg Well, perhaps this might jar your memory: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iciderGLsafbdYU.html

I agree!

I really don’t think that was a bad call. Perfect time to call a trick play while the curtain was adjusting, which they would have eventually. The guy fumbled it

@@peteyprimo7173 you are right. Landry was trying something different to surprise the Steelers, so not a bad call. However, I wish Landry would have kept running it with Tony D. He started that game on fire.

My favorite memory of TD is Darrell Green catching him on that famous MNF breakaway in 83. TD was no doubt a fantastic back. He shoulda won the Heisman in 75 over Griffin.

@@natureboy1313 that sounds more like your favorite Darrell Green memory.

Thanks for watching Eddie! 🙏

My favorite also

He had something a lot of backs don't have vision and straight up speed

As a Broncos fan I got victimized twice by Dorset. First time in super bowl 12 and second time when Broncos picked him up when his career was essentially over due to injuries

Emmitt came along at the perfect time, with the privilege to run behind the best offensive line of all time. Definitely a tough guy, and all-around good running back, but you take away the offensive line that Jimmy built and he'd've had an average career, imho. I can't tell you how many times he got to the 2nd level, untouched, not because of anything special he did, but because there was a hole you could drive a truck through.

@harrymills2770 I agree with everything that you've said! Emmitt Smith was an exceptional Running Back. However, he also had one of the best offensive lines in the history of the game. That component can't be overlooked! Larry Allen was possibly the greatest Guard ever! Eric Williams was also great, but, most importantly he was mean as fuck! The rest of that unit such as Newton, Stepnoski, and Tunai were also Pro Bowl level. I'm proud that a COWBOYS player is the all-time rushing leader. But, Tony Dorsett was the GREATEST OF ALL TIME in his respective position!

..Finally..someone into the science of the thing.

It really does not matter if you are a fan or not, probably a pink warrior (San Fransicko), needles and poop on the sidewalk, wink, wink.

@@hankgarza4975 Lol!!LOL!!! Nah....."Hail"

@@hankgarza4975 ..Tony D. fan..since Pitt!

You took the words right out of my mouth. No one like him!

Another delusional Emmitt slight

@lasagnaboy9376 if u don't stop with that foolishness. That man wasn't during sodomcentric stuff. The issue was Emmitt dated a younger women who didn't know how deal with his stardom

Well said brother...well said.

​@@michaelallen8112229 yards with a separated shoulder touched the ball 9 times on 12 plays in the final game winning drive, only missed 2 plays the hold game, Emmitt will never get his due from asshats

BOTH were great running backs. There is NO NEED to say that one was better than the other because they were simply different. Dorsett was very shifty and had more top end speed than Emmitt. Emmitt was also shifty and fumbled much less than Dorsett. Both were really good at catching passes out of the backfield. And I COMPLETELY DISAGREE how you minimized Emmitt's accomplishments by saying that he "almost always had a great offensive line to rely on." In his final season in the NFL, while playing for the Arizona Cardinals, Emmitt Smith rushed for nearly 1,000-yds (937 to be exact). Not to bad for a 35-year-old running back who was at the very end of his career. Arizona had a terrible record of 6-10 that year, so this PROVES that Emmitt could still gain yds even when old and when playing on a terrible team.

Thanks for watching 🙏

Enough said............................he was truly a joy to watch and his 99 yard TD on 01/03/83 was done with only 10 Cowboys on the field at the time.

He had to wait for 5 years after retirement for admission into HOF.

I achieved all that, f*cked Janet Jackson and then some............ and then I woke up

@@sandranorman5469 😞

@@sandranorman5469 What in hell are you trying to say here. You bring up something like there is a Victim here.(well me reading your statement would qualify). Look sweetie, You have to wait 5 years after retirement to be eligible for the HOF.

Dorsett and Payton first 2 great running backs I remember as a kid the murderer was the 3rd but he was on his way out by then.

@@patricksevers8012 Hahahahaha I still think Earl Campbell should be in there as well ( the murder ) was before my time I heard he was great. But TD was my guy being that small and that fast what he was able to accomplish was amazing and Earl was disgusting first big man who ran like that he killed us on thanksgiving day his rookie year I’ll never forget what he did that day

I never liked Killer... because I ❤ 33

Just another black being sold on the auction block

@@Terrill-yd4vp Mr. Tubman?

O also enjoyed watching Tony Dorrsett play for the cowboys! Hopefully he does not have CTE!! The 70s had so many phenom players/ superstars...who doe you think was the more explosive RB between him & OJ Simpson? Who affected their teams' chances for success more?

I agree!! I felt like that with Emmitt Smith. That was heartbreaking for me. Thanks bro!

I was happy for him for leaving and getting another chance and he was playing with Coach Reaves! He had a decent season with the Broncos and I was looking forward for him the next season.

Don’t forget about OJ in a 49ers uniform (killer moves?), Franco Harris in a Seahawks uniform, Montana in a Chiefs uniform, Unitas in a Chargers uniform, Namath with the Rams, Jerry Rice with the Seahawks, the list goes on forever.

I loved Tony as a runner but dont forget his frequent fumbles carried the ball like a loaf of bread

The Juice was better!

Exactly!

Great quote! Thanks for watching bro 🙏

Neither my mom, my sister or I ever really watched football w/my dad who was a diehard football fan but whenever it was game day/night, he had the family room to himself and we'd take him his coke & snacks so he wouldn't miss a touchdown. And we could always hear, loud & clear which way the game was going, lol! I love you dad!💓🏈💓Whenever we were going on any kind of trip, he'd say "Let's go sportsfans!"😊

Thanks bro! Always appropriate your support! Happy Father's day to you too!

Smoothest running back ever, and I'm a Redskin fan

Yea, Seahawks fan since the 70’s and I know we traded the #2 pick and all back then. Would’ve been nice to have him but he didn’t want to come here and his career probably would’ve been shortened on the Kingdome’s green concrete field

He would be great in any era

Thanks for watching 🙏

I agree... Running that reverse in Super Bowl 13 changed the momentum of the game against the Cowboys...Dorsett was running great. He was"juiced up"

Oh I think I'd trust someone who won 20 straight winning seasons in the NFL to some grown man with Kid in his nickname. He was small and light weight. They were never ever gonna over use him as a work horse. If they had, well you might not have watched this video.

@@countfloydschillerhorrorth2090 calm down fella. You kin to Landry or something?

I'm not even saying you are wrong about running Newhouse 8 straight times. I'm just stating the facts that he was a small running back, He would always be a small running back and being a small running back. You couldn't use him like he's Earl Cambell and expect the results to end well.

@@countfloydschillerhorrorth2090 we’ll never know.

Great post bro.

I pitched softball like Greg Maddux, though I always longed to be Bob Gibson. Unfortunately I had the frame of DeSean Jackson.

@@thegorn68 This guys getting Fact Checked to death! 😂

Who was more dangerous on the turf, Tony, Gale sayers, or OJ Simpson,?

Yeah they made some noise that year but like you said it was all for nothing. Thanks for watching 🙏

They had a good team but it fell apart mid-season when Danny White broke his wrist against the Giants when they were tied for the lead in the NFC East.

@@ujohnlynch2341 They started the season great. 6-2 with one loss coming in overtime against the falcons and the 2nd one was either the giants or they were 6-2 when they faced the Giants for the division lead. Yes Banks broke Whites wrist(who then lost his ligament because the doctors didn't know it had severed when they put the cast on) and he was never the same. Pelluer actually played the part that he was ready(Mr. Ice Cold Water in the Veins we all pretended until reality set in) But the cowboys drove like 110 yards on the final drive to win the game. Course this was the legendary start of the Legend of Phill Posderic. A near 7 foot goliath on the right side of the O-line and being so tall he really stood out to the Refs. Sadly two of those 3 or4 holding penalties they called on him was pure Rubbish. In fact it was Banks holding him. But the legend started because those two bogus ones happened on that last drive. and they had two Hershal Walker 40 yard plays called back because of them. Otherwise they win that game in which they were the better team. Things started to slide down hill after that and finding out White was done for the season. But they should have beaten the Giants twice that season(as they had earlier on) even with White out. And this Giant Team. This was the year Bill Parsells was on the hotseat in NY and had to get something done. He did it alright. He won his first Superbowl with the Giants that year. But they had to go thru Dallas and What Could Have Been to do it. Lucky for them Banks broke Whites Wrist and also grabbed Pozderics arm and got the holding call against him. Pozderics had humiliating songs made up by local DJ's mocking him that were pretty popular. He soon faded away as well. Possibly the single most effecting game of 85 thru 90's in all of the NFL. Cowboys were setting scoring records and looking every bit the fav to win it all till this 2nd game against the giants(and for the reasons I stated it changed both franchises Fortunes) This was the one quite possibly for the winner to be the dominate team in the 2nd half of the 80's(which was the Giants). Something that had been done to them 5 years before by The Catch against San Francisco(a QB in Montana that they had on the board as the best to draft from the 1st to either the 4th or 5th round. "And they always went with who the top man on the board was. Not that time they didn't and it came back to bite them hard. Anyway thats another league changing game that happened earlier where dallas fell short. I actually think there is even more to this Giant game that I've forgotten over the years. But obviously it has stayed with me for all this time.

@@ujohnlynch2341Yep. The Phil Pozderic Bowl.

Dorsett was legendary!

If you’re a giants fan how can you hate the cowboys? Tom Landry played for the Giants.

@@James-kk8dw So..... I loved Landry. He was a hell of a coach. The cowboys I didn't like. I really didn't like them when Jerry Jones took over.

Great post!

Good post!

Who was the back up QB?

@helpisontheway9405 WHAT?!

What ever happened to Herschel?

@@mariocastaneda7321 Gary Hogeboom

Thanks bro! Landry was hard-core in his ways wasn't he? Once he made a law it was stapled forever. Lolll thanks for watching 🙏

Yep, Landry had some hard rules he seldom strayed from. QB couldn't start for him until he had at le!st 3 years in the system being the most notable, which kept Staubach on the bench at least one year later than should have been the case. That said, there were 2 really good reasons to bring TD along slowly -- Preston Pearson and a FB who could be a feature back (Robert Newhouse). Landry's way absolutely worked with the way he handled Dorsett as a rookie. Worked well his whole career, actually.

Thanks!!

Great post! I never knew all of the tragedies Dorsett went through in his career. The tragic death of his fiance, his father's tragic death. We never know what people go through until you walk in their shoes. Those things will humble you for sure. Thanks for watching 🙏

I agree with what you said, EXCEPT the part about Darrell Green. Tony was/is my favorite RB. He was STUPID fast, but Green was ELITE track fast. Dude STARTED at Corner for 258/295 over 20 seasons. Not only did he catch TD. He also caught Eric Dickerson and if you know football (and I'm SURE you do because you're smart enough to be here talking about TD), you know ED was an excellent track sprinter in his own right. It wasn't Tony's conditioning, it was that Green had the angle and rocket fuel for blood. Lol

Great post!
