    Tony Dorsett was the only runningback in football history to have rushed for over 6,000 yards in college and for over 12,000 yards in the NFL. A spectacular accomplishment that nobody has mentioned.

    Of all the incredible runs he had including the 99 yarder @ Minnesota, Tony calls a simple Dive play his greatest ever. @ St Louis 1980. Cowboys are at the 5 yard line and he just runs it up the middle a little Dive run but stops in the hole as defenders from either side begin to close the hole and spins out to his right and does a 180 to the left corner endzone without being touched for the TD. It was poeticly beautiful and in its simplest form.

    Dorsett to me was an artist running the 🏈 like a painter uses his brush to convey thoughts, feelings and emotions. Many running backs religiously follow the called to the A, B or C gap and can't adjust to changes. Tony ran with determination and with "a wondering eye" reacting and adjusting to the opportunities that came. He changed on the fly violating many of the law's of physics. Awesome video LC, thank you so much.

    His style of running will always appear to be modern and contemporary. Grace on the field that even a novice of the game will recognize and admire. Glided on the field like a slolom water skier. Always under control. A man among boys. In football, as in chess, the game is won with moves up the middle. Dorsett was successful around the ends because of the shear terror opposing defensive backs had in facing him.

    I'm a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan, began watching in earnest in 1963. Along with my parents, nephew, and cousin l was at the Philly at Dallas game at 🇨🇱Texas🇨🇱 Stadium when #33 Dorsett made his very first start of the season. As all Cowboy fans know, it was a very rare thing for Coach Landry to start rookies.... even one with the talent of the Heisman Trophy RB from Pitt. T. Dorsett set a new team rushing yardage total that day with 206 yards, featuring a run off-tackle for 84 yards. Texas Stadium had no replay screens in 1977, so if anyone wasn't paying attention they missed TD's touchdown jaunt. Tony got to the end zone faster than a minner can swim a dipper. God bless our pro football heroes from a by-gone era 🏈

Also funny I run into him at our corner store often and no one in the store ever knows who he is but me. Mainly because its younger people there who just don't know. Tony doesn't seem to mind though.

    Dick Vermeil once said that he would cringe every time Tony Dorsett touched the ball. I think maybe the only other RB that was about as electrifying as T.D. was Billy SIms. What was really amazing about Dorsett is that he got all of those yards and the Dallas offense wasn't really centered around him. And yes that game against Miami was one that will be remembered and talked about in Cowboys lore forever.

    Although Emmitt is my goat of all running backs, Dorsett is an American icon who is criminally underrated. The NFL still hasn't done 'a football life' on Dorsett. I've never seen a sports icon who has been treated unfairly like Dorsett has. The guy was a legend in high school, a legend in college, and a legend in the pros. If Dorsett wasn't a Dallas Cowboys, the NFL would have had all kinds of documentation videos on him. That's why as long as I have the power I'm going to highlight his greatness on this channel.

Growing up in New England, I vividly remember that game and run against the Patriots. It still gives me goosebumps watching. The 99 yard run against the Vikings does as well.

His cutback abilities, elusiveness, and vision were incredible! He also had good power. However, what always impressed me the most about this superhuman athlete was his first two steps! Dorsett could go from 0 to 60 mph in literally two fuckin' seconds flat! In my opinion, he is the greatest running back in COWBOYS history for too many reasons to explain.

    I grew up watching TD! He was the first slashing, explosive, speedster, with breakaway ability. He was a threat to score everytime he got to the corners and he ran north and south which made him so effective. He was stylish, but quiet. He was tough, in great shape, and ran compact and low to the ground. The Cowboys had two of the best running backs of all time in different years in Tony Dorsett and Emmitt Smith.

    Thank you sir for these Cowboys videos. My parents and I are from Ft Worth and they were fans since 1960 and I grew up a fan. I still remember those SB losses to the Steelers and remember well when TD came into the league, winning the SB that year vs Denver. I have an affinity for the RB position and Dorsett was, I think, the reason for that. Very exciting to watch him as a young fan. There was nothing like him with those moves and that speed. This video was the most I’ve watched him play since watching live back in the day. Brings back memories of watching Dallas play on Sundays with my folks. Thank you so much 🙏

    Think of the 2 short strike seasons and the arrival of Walker as well. He definitely would have had at least 15k yards.

    Tony retired ahead of Jim Brown. He was # 2 all-time behind only Walter Payton. Tony had 12,739 rushing yards. He was spectacular.

    My favorite Cowboy of all time. I will always believe that Landry kept Tonys yardage and td stats down and they were still fantastic. More touches, more yards and more tds. I will always believe that no one scared defenses more than Tony D. Some might have scared them as much but not more.

    His lateral speed may have been his greatest gift. Top 3 ever in that category ( Sayers, Simpson). Sanders was insanely quick laterally but never had their speed. Also very few steps needed for T. D. to reach great speed.

    Dorsett is a top running back of all time and the future.Everyone tends to forget he played in 2 strike seasons and he shared time with Walker at the end of his cowboy career.My #1 RB is Jimmy Brown.He retired WAY too early to pursue an acting career.Brown was a 3 sport athlete at Syracuse.He played football lacrosse and track.Those are my reasons for them to be in my top two.

    You're right. Another good video, lol. Love the in depth play/trait breakdowns. Landry probably did the right thing spelling Dorsett some to prolong his career, but one wonders how spectacular his peak seasons would have been if he had gotten the full feature back treatment some of those other backs did. Still, he retired ranked 2nd in career rushing so not bad on the yardage front!

  • @thelogicalcowboy

    You're right, I think he did prolong his career by limiting his touches, which is scary because, as you said, he still ended his career 2nd in history in yards. The guy is truly underrated and is a shame no one hardly talks about him in their top 10 or top 5 running backs. While I was doing this video I saw like 5 top 10 running back lists that didn't include Tony D. I didn't even participate in the polls.

    I loved watching Tony Dorsett run the football. As crazy as it may sound, he never learned how to properly take a handoff, which is why Landry ran a lot of pitches to him on his outside runs. He was a great receiver, to which I felt if Landry had used him more as a receiver from out of the backfield, he would have been more dangerous because there was not one linebacker in the NFL back then who would have been able to cover him.

    @@thelogicalcowboyYes, if you watch the videos, watch how he took handoffs. I learned when I was a youngster that if taking a handoff to the right of the QB, the left shoulder comes up with the arm pointed inward while the right shoulder is low with the arm pointed inward and the opposite for taking a handoff from the left side. The QB then puts the football into the breadbasket, as the arms clamp down. With Dorsett, he has both of his arms down and facing forward and outward. Early in his career he fumbled a lot, which is why Landry used him at critical times in short yardage situations as a decoy to draw defenders to him while Landry might run a Scissors (inside run) to the fullback going in the other direction. Landry was an excellent coach, and he knew what he was doing. Interestingly, watching film of Duane Thomas getting to the outside, turning that corner and gaining about 7 or 8 yards was eerily similar from Tony Dorsett, only that Dorsett took pitches because of his fumbling issues. It also allowed Dorsett to get to the outside quicker, and his burst of speed was so special. His peripheral vision was also on a level that I can’t even comprehend. No one! Not even Barry Sanders had the peripheral vision Dorsett had. The crazy thing is that he was a power back who was just as dangerous running up the middle, just as long as he held onto the football. Great piece again from what of my all time favorite Dallas Cowboys.

    Tony Dorsett was pure excitement. If he broke threw the line of scrimmage, he could take it 80, like, right now. All of that speed and quickness and vision and acceleration, and he was the smoothest runner out there, at the same time. His runs were akin to a work of art. Idolized him when I was a kid.

    I followed Dorsetts college football career with the Pitt panthers from my time in the army and this guy was also very strong because he worked out with the Olinemen religiously and did the when he came into the NFL. Being stationed in Washington state at that time, I was very disappointed when he announced that he would do whatever possible not to play for the Seahawks, a new NFL franchise man was I disappointed.
