  What a pleasure it was to watch the career of T.D. A Cowboys legend and one of the greatest pure runners in nfl history. Also, the Cowboys screen game under Landry was absolutely lethal. Especially when Ron Springs and Tony was in the backfield.

  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.

  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. <br>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.

  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.

  I&apos;m a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan, began watching in earnest in 1963.<br>Along with my parents, nephew, and cousin l was at the Philly at Dallas game <br>at 🇨🇱Texas🇨🇱 Stadium when <br>#33 Dorsett made his very first start of the season. &nbsp; 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.<br>T. Dorsett set a new team rushing yardage total that day with 206 yards, featuring a run <br>off-tackle for 84 yards.<br>Texas Stadium had no replay screens in 1977, so if anyone wasn&apos;t paying attention they missed TD&apos;s touchdown jaunt.<br>Tony got to the end zone faster than a minner can swim a dipper.<br>God bless our pro football heroes from a by-gone era 🏈
