    Perhaps the purest runner the game has ever seen. There was always a smooth effortlessness to his running style.

    Emmett Smith carried the ball 1473 more times than Tony Dorsett!! Tony didn't get the ball 20 times a game!!! Do the math!!! Didn't become an NFL starter til the 10th week of his rookie season and STILL got over 1000 fricking yds!!

      The play against the Rams 6:03 where he breaks 5 tackles was the last carry he got in the NFC Championship game. Landry never gave him a chance to close out the game even after that impressive run, Rams go to Super Bowl.

    When i was young in Pittsburgh we would sit in the stands at the practice field and watch Pitt run plays. Dorsett was awesome fast. He could run sideways faster than most people can run straight.

  • @richardhamblen5526
    @richardhamblen5526 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I could watch that guy all day and I don't impress easily..he is a classy, tough, one of a kind player..played injured for multiple games at a time, no complaining, excuses, or finger-pointing, increases the desire to excel in the other players around him..over 1,300 yards in a 14-game season..

  • @larrycancooke2
    @larrycancooke2 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    In most of Tony's runs... you'll see Tony gearing down about 20yrds from the end zone... That's pure speed..and moving at such a high rate of speed and velocity...his jukes only had to be minor.... He'd hit the hole at about 4.3.. It's nearly impossible for the defense to recover against someone moving that fast from the word hike....

  • @bradleach658
    @bradleach658 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    You got to love the way he raises the ball about shoulder height after scoring a touchdown just a total Class Act you could count on one hand how many times he spiked the ball🙏🇱🇷 you are hands-down Tony one of the all-time greats it was an honor to watch you play

  • @KeithCash62
    @KeithCash62 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    My all time favorite RB. The Hawk, TD, Touchdown Tony. You have to be from Pittsburgh to know him as The Hawk. I don’t know why he is left out when they talk about all time greats. Perhaps it’s because he made it look so easy and we took him for granted. Maybe he is lost in the shuffle between Payton and Campbell. I don’t know... one thing I do know, if I were building a team and I could pick any back in all of history... it would be none other than Anthony Drew Dorsett “The Hawk.”

    • @bradleach658
      @bradleach658 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah Keith I'm with you on that like started team and build around one guy it be Tony Dorsett I'm just curious who picks what number the guy is in the history of the game because 77 is nowhere near where he should be he left College as you all time leading rusher and you left the NFL what the second most all-time rushing yards I don't quite get number 77 all time

    • @KeithCash62
      @KeithCash62 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

I've won many first place awards in the 50 and the 100 yard dashes...Sadly there was never a video of me running...I can only wish my running style was like Tony D. He has the most beautiful running style in ALL of sports and boy oh boy was he FAST. The instant acceleration is breathtaking...Tony D, you were the best and will forever be my all time favorite football player...Thank you for the memories..

    Bill Parcells rates Dorsett as the most difficult offence player to scheme against and he knows a thing or two . Montana Rice Sanders Payton and many other great players didn’t cause him the headaches TD did . That says it all really. The ultimate big play running back . Smith was consistent durable but come on given Smith’s offensive line Dorsett would have cut teams to ribbons with 20 runs a game or even less !!

    • @joseywales4874

    Tony Dorsett was a class act all the way. A great man and a great role model. His United Way commercial was heartwarming. Tony was the only runningback in the history of football to have rushed for over 6,000 yards in college and for over 12,000 yards in the NFL! A remarkable accomplishment!

    I see why Barry Sanders said he would've been mad had TD retired early. Barry Sanders in my opinion is a bigger (weight) version of TD. Just watch Barry's highlights and you'll see exactly what I am talking about. Tony Dorsett is my all-time favorite RB and football player!

    When's the last time you saw players congratulating each other 25 yards before scoring 6 points without a defender on sight??
    Dorsett was indeed and still would be today the "Ferrari" of running backs
    "Lookout, cause he could go all the way!!"
    "He's got the speed to take it the distance"
    "Every single time he's given the football he is a threat to score"
    I don't hear that too much about any player still to this day

    To look at his build, you’d never think he would be as durable as he was. He couldn’t run over many defenses but didn’t have to. He was slick. Hit the hole faster than any and smart enough not to take extreme hits. Downfield vision was unbelievable.

  • @kevinbrooks1104
    @kevinbrooks1104 ปีที่แล้ว

    National champion, Heisman,rookie of the year and a superbowl in one year. Nobody's wagon was loaded with more trophies. Tony was a North South runner with a nose for the end zone. Perhaps Dallas best but then another one came, Emmitt, Hershal gosh us fans are spoiled

  • @nikosuavesworldofsportsmusic
    @nikosuavesworldofsportsmusic 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Tony Dorsett is the most athletically gifted running back in Dallas Cowboys franchise history while Emmitt Smith is HANDS DOWN the greatest, all-around, & most complete running back in ALL facets of the game i.e. running, blocking, pass receiving, lack of fumbles (Dorsett was horrific in that particular category but I digress), & big game clutch performance vs elite defenses to be exact.

    • @TD-ke4vd
      @TD-ke4vd  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Emmitt Smith is one of the most Overrated players in sports history. He was a very good player who played with the probably the best ever O-Line. Dorsett scared defenses. Emmitt's line scared defenses. Smith's greatest asset was his durability which allowed him to get all those carries and yards without injury.

    • @nikosuavesworldofsportsmusic
      @nikosuavesworldofsportsmusic 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @TD No the player that's one of the most OVERRATED in sports history would be your boy as a Denver Broncos fan the injury prone Terrell Davis who was a 6th round bi-product of the LEGENDARY Alex Gibbs Denver Broncos one cut zone blocking scheme. Emmitt Smith was the all-time leading rusher in United States high school football history at Escambia High in Pensacola, Florida with 110 rushing touchdowns, the all-time leading rusher at the University of Florida in his 3 year career, & was ACTUALLY a first round draft pick unlike the overrated Terrell Davis & of course was the '90 Rookie of the Year, '93 NFL & Super Bowl MVP, 4x rushing champion, all-time career leader in rushing attempts, rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, & has the second most total career touchdowns behind NFL G.O.A.T. wide receiver & player Jerry Rice. Unlike Terrell Davis' backup running backs who ALL looked like first ballot Hall of Famers running in that Alex Gibbs one cut zone blocking scheme from Orlandis Gary, Mike Anderson, Clinton Portis, Tatum Bell, Michael Pittman, & Peyton Hillis none of Emmitt Smith's backup running backs produced one fifth of Emmitt's rushing totals behind the SUPREMELY OVERRATED "Great Wall of Dallas" offensive line from Derrick Llassic, Lincoln Coleman, & Sherman Williams. Also after the 1992-93 Dallas Cowboys won their first of 3 Super Bowls in 4 seasons Emmitt Smith proved he was the best & most important player on that team because the 1993-94 Dallas Cowboys got off to an 0-2 start while Smith renegotiated his contract that same Dallas Cowboys team that went 13-3 in 1992 & EVISCERATED the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXVII or 27 52-17 lost 35-16 on opening night MNF to a Washington Redskins team that went 4-12 in their first season without Hall of Fame head coach Joe Gibbs & in Week 2 at home in old Texas Stadium lost 13-10 to that same Buffalo Bills team that they put up 52 points only 9 months prior in Super Bowl XXVII or 27 on 01/31/1993 same overrated "Great Wall of Dallas" offensive line, same Hall of Fame head coach in Jimmy Johnson, same renowned offensive coordinator in Norv Turner, same Hall of Fame quarterback in Troy Aikman, same pro-bowl fullback in Daryl "Moose" Johnston, same Hall of Fame wide receiver in Michael "The Playmaker" Irvin, same big play one dimensional deep threat wide receiver in Alvin Harper, same pro-bowl tight end in Jay Novacek, same defense that was ranked #1 during the 1992-93 season yet not ONE member was named to the pro-bowl that season. The only 2 differences were defensive coordinator Butch Davis who replaced Dave Wandstedt who was named Chicago Bears head coach prior to the 1993-94 season & of course Emmitt Smith the MOST DISRESPECTED great Hall of Fame running back in NFL history. Soon as Emmitt got his new contract the '93 Dallas Cowboys who I repeat started off that season 0-2 went 12-2 the final 14 games to finish 12-4 with the #1 seed & home field advantage in the NFC PLAYOFFS after Emmitt's heroic one arm performance in the season finale at old Giants in the Meadowlands of East Rutherford, New Jersey in the Cowboys 16-13 over time win, Emmitt also won his third consecutive league rushing title, won league MVP honors as well as Super Bowl XXVIII or 28 MVP honors as he helped the Dallas Cowboys win back to back Super Bowls. So in conclusion there's ABSOLUTELY NOTHING at all overrated about the great Emmitt Smith don't allow his lack of flashy TH-cam highlights take away from his abundance of Hall of Fame & clutch substance & FINALLY his resume is Creme Dela Creme in NFL HISTORY & he doesn't owe anybody no explanation because his yeoman work did all of the talking for him.

      @@TD-ke4vd At 5ft 9inches he was perfectly built too short to see over that mammoth o-line and built like a fire hydrant if you "tried" to tackle him one on one. Enmity had impeccable and uncanny vision. And for a short dude wasn't a scat back type, he was straight north/south runna. 5 yards out from the end zone. He was unstoppable.
