Newhouse was a BEAST!!!!! Loved Moose as well. Loved all these guys!!!
Newhouse was a monster!
i wish Football would go back the 70s and early 80s.
MOOOOOSSSEEEE!!!!!. Each time he got a carry the crowd would explode. MOOOOSSEEEEE!!!!
Moooseee!!!!
Even on the road, that Moose call was awesome!!!
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.
Newhouse may have been class act , but Alstott was by far the best on the list. By FAR & AWAY.
Thanks Anthony! Even though I'm could not stand the Cowboys growing up, I loved and revered Robert Newhouse! I wore number 44 my first year at the Garland YMCA!
Ironically, he was also my bankruptcy Trustee when I was dying of a serious illness in 2003!!!!
This show how God has an incredible sense of irony!
I also attended Robert Newhouse's funeral in 2015!!!
I felt I owed it to him!! He was such a humble spirit!!!

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.
Wow! Come to think about it he sure did! No one ever talks about that! We hear about Moose but not Garrison! Thanks bro!
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.
Same here. At Ohio St Springs was the featured back. I remember him being just a great receiver.
Garrison and Moose were both awesome. Darryl being quietly humble and Walt being outspoken, each one were great in their time. America's fullbacks!!!👍🍻
Thanks for watching 🙏!! America's fullbacks 💪
I thought us cowgirls were America's full backs!🍑😉. Luuuv my 'Boys!👌
Your accent makes you sound like you said "Robin Newhouse". It's Robert Newhouse.
@@w.allencaddell6421
Of course it's Robert Newhouse lol
The "Moose" from Syracuse, it's a Moosedown!! -John Madden 😂👍🏈
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.
I laughed so hard reading this! 🤣 😂. Great read!
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.
Wow! Thanks for sharing!
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.
🙏RIP
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!
Wow! He played like a wide receiver too. 73 receptions is ridiculous for a fulback. 73 receptions? SMH... thanks for watching 🙏
Once again 100% on board with your select great job love this album you're creating
Thanks!!
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
Thanks Fig!
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"
Best Dallas Cowboys you tube Channel analysis breakdowns sensational this is awesome channel Go Cowboys
Thanks Chris!!!
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!
Walt is a personal favorite of mines as well! Always a pleasure bro! 🙏
@THE LOGICAL COWBOY but not before you do an all-time 53 man roster, right? 😁
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!
Legendary franchise for sure! Thanks for watching bro
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.
He sure did! Thanks for watching 🙏!
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!
Thanks CJ!
I never saw Walt Garrison play, but I remember the Skoal commercials.
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!
Appreciate you bro!! Welcome to the channel! Good post too.
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
The greatest franchise in sports history! Great analysis on Newhouse!
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.
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!
Thanks bro! Appreciate you!
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.
Thanks bro 🙏!
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
Wow that had to be an amazing experience! Newhouse was a physical marvel. One of the most unique human beings that I've ever researched! Thanks for sharing bro!
The Moose made the Goat possible, both outstanding players we were lucky enough to have them together for all the years they played.
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.
Thanks bro! Good post!
Moose was like having a guard come out of the backfield. The casual fan just does not understand what he was doing.
Grew up watching Newhouse which is why my football jersey was 44. R.i.p!
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.
Thanks Aaron! You too! God bless 🙌
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.
Thanks David! I only got to see Moose play. But you know what's interesting? looking back at these videos it's almost like utube is a time machine. Lol. Oftentimes I find myself getting mad or celebrating like the game is taking place in real time... well not exactly the same way... but you get my point lol. Before I did my research I had only heard about these players. But now after watching hrs of games and countless highlights I'm a fan although i never saw a lot of these players play in real time. I enjoy what I do. Thanks for your support 🙏!
@THE LOGICAL COWBOY you're really good at it! Ron Springs was too fast and too good not to play him, but we already had TD. Newhouse was a fire plug. Walt Garrison was the kind of tough I don't see anymore. Just like the NBA, I think the game has evolved into a kinder, gentler version of its former self. I wish you could have been there. Perkins was tough, too. He could scoot, and you never knew if he was going to put a move on a guy or just run him over. Landry set the bar high for the Cowboys, and Jimmy Johnson upheld the standard. I love the Cowboys. I always will. I just don't recognize them anymore. How long has it been since we went to the NFC championship? Embarrassing!
Everybody loves the Cowboys...
They just can't bring themselves to admit it.
Exactly!
Great list, as usual. I had forgotten what a good player Ron Springs was. Walt Garrison was as tough as they come.
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.
Which makes Don Perkins, and Walt Garrison stats even crazier!
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!
I agree! Thanks Gorn!
The Cowboys best teams always have a great line solid if not top 5 in the league running back and a road grader fullback who can lay some devastating blocks .
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.
Nobody gave Ron Springs enough credit who was the total package
He did everything you asked him to do. The ultimate professional!
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.
Thanks bro!! Fare comment. That was the gist of my argument in this video. Johnston was a major reason why the most dominant run game in the history of the league was successful. That has to be rewarded. The I formation would not have worked without Johnston. Thanks again bro!! 🙏
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.
Thanks bro 🙏
MAN- YOU ARE ON POINT WITH THESE VIDS AND CONTENT. I THOUGHT I HAD ALL THE ANSWERS LLOL
Thanks!!!
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
Bro you have talent!! I enjoy your videos too!
@@thelogicalcowboy thanks dude looking forward to your Robert Newhouse video
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.
Great Point! Thanks for watching 🙏
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.
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.
I completely understand. Prior to this video I had the same thought process when it came to Newhouse. Also Laidlaw was amazing! He's definitely a honorable mention.
Thankyou for the outstanding video.
Thanks for watching! 🙏
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.
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
Yep. He was a fullback for five of his six seasons as a Cowboy.
Perfect list !....COWBOYS 4-EVER
Thanks Eddie!!
Springs filled in for Dorsett when he was hurt and was fantastic. Totally underrated
Ronspringsclutchman
Great content 🏆
Thanks!!
Thank you, Logical Cowboy.
Thanks for watching 🙏!
Cowboys need to draft a true Full Back in this years draft.
You nailed it again, 100%!
Thanks G!
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.
Thanks! Timmy is definitely a honorable mention! Thanks for watching!
robert newhouse was my hero back in the day
I played in high school with Moose (He didn't have that nickname yet). It was cool watching Daryl's career.
Newhouse for sure is my favorite of the list. But they all were great.
Either one could have went number one! That's how legendary we are at the fullback position. Lol. Thanks for watching 🙏
Oh man I haven't had time to comment on your Tight End video and now this! More soon!
Take your time bro! I'll be here! Thanks for your support!
Miss the FB so much....power football!!!!
I agree
Couldn’t agree more ! I’m old enough to have seen all of them play. Great list.
Thanks!
I had forgotten how good Springs and Newhouse was. Walt Garrison and Don Perkins were before my time. Moose was something else...
Great list!
Thanks Wade!
O and it was Fred Newhouse won a gold medal in the 4x400 relay in the 76 Olympics
Thanks for the info!
To me :
#1 Newhouse
#2 Johnston
#3 Springs
#4 Garrison
#5 Perkins
Thanks for watching 🙏
@@thelogicalcowboy 🤘🙏😊
You forgot Marion barber he was a beast .
I love it DC4L
I certainly cant argue with the list but I probably would have Newhouse close or at the top myself. He was a tremendous fullback.
Forgot Marion barber but you hit it on the head Cowboys always had a really good fullback.
Hi! Marion barber was actually a RB. But you're right barber was a beast!
@@thelogicalcowboy just subscribed been a cowboy fan since 1967 5years old went to see cowboys play Mel Renfro took one too the house
@@sunshinegarcia3866
Thanks bro 🙏!!!
@@sunshinegarcia3866
Wow! You saw Renfro play? That had to be crazy!
@@thelogicalcowboy 1971 went to playoff game against the 49ers Roger Staubach legend begins. My favorite quarterback winner could never count him out , as a fan if there was time on the clock I knew Roger would find a way for the Cowboys to win 9-10 times he did awesome great memories. Got a signed football from Lee Roy Jordan .1 from Bob Lilly
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.
😂 😂 good one! Lol thanks for watching 🙏
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."
Nothing else for me to say!! Great post!
@@thelogicalcowboy Thank you.
I almost suggested that you do a feature on Robert Newhouse the other day.
A fascinating player!
1. Walt Garrison
2. Robert Newhouse
3. Don Perkins
4. Moose
5. Scott Laidlaw
6. Ron Springs
Good list!
Tom Landry was that coach from Dallas 40
Moose Johnson...Walt Garrison...Don Perkins...Robert Newhouse...Best all-time Cowboys FBs...Ron Springs was more of a HB...RIP...
Walt Garrison came to my wedding. What an honor.
Wow!
Perkins retired as the 5th all time leading rusher in NFLhistory. That with by far of the majority being up the middle.
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.
Giddy up Cowboys
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.
Good list and good arguments. Thanks for watching!
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.
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.
Yeah I really wanted to mention Timmy! He was really close to being on the list. That's how much respect that I have for him. He had an amazing career. He's definitely a honorable mention but unfortunately the video was getting too long so I didn't want to go beyond my average video length. Utube do not reward you for that lol. There are a few others that I didn't mention as well. Thanks Ashleigh.
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
Wow I didn't know that about Newhouse! Thanks bro!!
@@thelogicalcowboy his name was Albert Newhouse
Perk, Walt, Robert, Daryl, then gimmee Ron or Timmy.
Good lineup
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.
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...
You're reading my mind! That's exactly what I'm planning on doing. You can go on for days with a top 5 list! Lol.
Best news I’ve heard today!
Best news I’ve heard today!
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
Donperkins
Timmy Newsome belongs on this list.
Newhousedorsettwaltgarrison
1: Walt Garrison
2: Moose
3: Ron Springs.
Robert Newhouse set the Standard
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.
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.
The HOUSE!!!!
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
To be honest before I did my research I didn't either! Lol.
Darryl Moose Johnston is my all time favourite player, just ahead of Randy White. But don't tell Randy.
