The Cowboys, Redskins and Cardinals had a tremendous three way rivalry during the Coryell era in St. Louis. Every game was an event and most were classics.
Speaking of Billy Joe DuPree: he was chosen by Dallas ahead of Ray Guy whom Gil Brandt wanted to draft. Though Guy would be the only punter in the HOF, DuPree was a valuable addition the Cowboys offense.
Staubach's ability to roll to either side of the field, torque/square his body, and throw darts is a reminder of his versatility. One could argue that Staubach had no major weaknesses and he literally carried the 1975 Cowboys in the 1st half of the season.
He did not LITERALLY carry the Cowboys. He FIGURATIVELY carried them. Not even Captain America was physically strong enough to pick up the whole team and carry them. Maybe Superman could but not Roger.
@@yourroyalhighness7662 Sans the 2007 Giants, the 1975 Cowboys faced the most daunting competition in NFL playoff history, and Roger was the main reason why the team came very close to raising the Lombardi Trophy. Staubach played extremely well against the 12-2 Vikings, 12-2 Rams, and 12-2 Steelers. The Vikings ranked #1 in total defense, the Rams #2, and the Steelers #4. He began this magical playoff run by completing THE Hail Mary pass against the Vikings, he threw 4 touchdown passes against a Rams team that only gave up 10 points a game in the 1975 regular season, and he was throwing passes into the end zone in the final seconds of a 4 point loss to the Steelers in Super Bowl 10.
@helpisontheway9405 Staubach won 4 passing titles to Bradshaw's O passing titles, Roger retired in 1980 with the highest passer rating in NFL history, and his career passer rating was a whopping 13 points higher than Bradshaw. Staubach also had a passer rating of 100 plus in 3 of his 4 Super Bowl appearances. Pretty impressive when you consider the fact that the Dolphins, Broncos, and Steelers twice all had dominant defenses. In the only Super Bowl where his passer rating was below 100 (e.g., Super Bowl 10), Roger still played well enough to throw not 1, but 2 Hail Mary's into the end zone in the final 10 seconds of a 4 point game. Interesting factoid...in the 1975 playoffs, the Cowboys faced 3 of the top 4 defenses in the NFL (e.g., Vikings #1, Rams #2, Steelers #4), they defeated the Vikings and Rams on the road, and their Super Bowl 10 matchup with the Steelers was the first GREAT Super Bowl.
@helpisontheway9405 It's important to note that Jake Scott was not covering Bob Hayes on the attempted bomb by Staubach. Scott came completely free on a safety blitz and lit up Roger with a brutal hit that resulted in a misfire. That didn't deter Staubach from throwing 2 touchdown passes, having a QB rating of 115.9, and being named the MVP of Super Bowl 6. Implying that Staubach was the main reason for the Cowboys not scoring 42 points in Super Bowl 12 is an odd take. The main factors for the Cowboys "only" scoring 27 points were 3 missed field goals by Efren Herrera, fumble by Billy Joe Dupree in the red zone, and Drew Peason dropping a touchdown pass in the end zone. As I mentioned in my prior post, Staubach played great in 3 Super Bowls and considering the opposition (e.g., Steel Curtain defense) in his 4th Super Bowl, he played really well and came within back to back end zone Hail Mary passes of winning the game in the final seconds.
I went to the final Saints game at Tulane Stadium on Dec 8, 1974..we beat the Cardinals 14-0, with rookie QB Larry Cipa, as Archie Manning and Bobby Scott were both sidelined....the Cardiac Cards clinched the division in the final season game(#14) the next week, but I think our win forced them on the road at the Vikings who won 30-13 in Bloomington.
Basically same offense he employed when he went to San Diego with Dan Fouts, Chuck Muncie (RB), Charlie Joiner (WR), John Jefferson (WR), Wes Chandler (WR), and my favorite TE of all time Kellen Winslow Sr. My favorite offense of all-time along with The Greatest Show on Turf.
Thanks for posting this, though as a Cowboy fan, i approved of the outcome. 3 TDs in 36 seconds during that wild third quarter! That was the start of Henderson's few years in the spotlight. He could have been an all-timer. One thing I recall from when I saw that game in '75 was that Drew Pearson's right foot actually came down out of bounds on his TD catch, which was noted on the network replay. Cardinals had the game all but won in OT (Bakken was a great kicker.) before Hart unwisely threw over the middle into coverage. Jordan showed why he was one of the best MLBs of all time. He should have gone into the HoF long ago.
Ed "Too Tall" Jones and Drew Pearson should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Pro Football Hall of Fame members. Dallas Cowboys: Roger Staubach, Rayfield Wright, Mel Renfo, Tom Landry. St. Louis Cardinals: Dan Dierdorf, Jackie Smith.
@@Jetsea Gil Brandt, Tex Schramm, Cliff Harris, Randy White are Pro Football Hall of Fame members of the Dallas Cowboys. Larry Cole should be in as well.
The Cardiac Cards era ended all too soon. After a disappointing 8-6 season the Cowboys with 12 rookies would go to the Super Bowl. For us, just because Don Coryell wanted more of a voice in the draft and decision making the owner went nuts.
@@StLouisFootballCardinals let's just disagree. Steelers wouldn't have come back that late. Don't get me wrong. I'm a Cowboys fan, but I liked Jackie. Came out of retirement for that one game. Great guy. Also, some of the greatest NFC games were between the Cowboys and Cardinals. I hated it when they changed to Arizona. I always think of them as the St. Louis Cardinals. And it soooo pissed me off when they put them in the West. That's not natural.
I have been a Cowboy fan since the Ice Bowl NFL Championship game between the Cowboys and Packers. Please forgive me for bringing politics into this but I sure wish that Roger Staubach had refused to accept the Presidential Medal of Freedom from soon to be ex president trump. If Bill Belichick of the Patriots can refuse to accept the award Mr. Staubach can return his. Everything trump touches dies. Seven days...
@@TDL-xg5nn You mean the man himself should be tossed off of Mt. Rushmore? I agree! The man who belongs ON Mt. Rushmore is Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He would join his distant cousin Theodore. After Roosevelt should be Barack Obama, the greatest modern president.

This era of music is the best ever from NFL films ...
This was used in all the highlight reals from the time.
The football back then wasn't bad either.
You beat me to it.
Don Coryell's Cardinals. One of the most entertaining teams I've ever seen.
Air Coryell MkI
And he repeated the excitement with his next team, the San Diego Chargers.
These videos bring back memories of the 70's Dallas cowboys roger staubach.

I love that Charlie waters dive to that intense groovy William loose music at 12:10
I love Jim Hart's hip pads. In ninth grade our coach Mr. Richardson made everybody wear a neck roll, quarterbacks included.

Don't forget Coach Coreayl and Roger Werhli.

Thanks for the upload. Do you have any Cardinals games from 1984 season?
As a Cowboys fan, I hated those 70s Cardinals. They would lay down against the shitiest team and then play the Cowboys like it was the Superbowl
Just like the 'Air Coryell' teams in San Diego
The Cowboys had three different opportunities to put that game away.
cardnials had some scary weapons on offensive
First slam dunk in the NFL.
love my CARDIAC CARDS!!! dallas was good then but not now-a-days
This must be the BLduMb sponsored section of the crowd: 0:45
Jackie Smith. Lost a Super Bowl for the Cowboys. God don't you know he was sick after that play. Dallas would have won.
If anyone "lost" that Super Bowl it was Randy White who fumbled a 4th quarter kickoff. Steelers scored on the next play and the game was over.
@@StLouisFootballCardinals let's just disagree. Steelers wouldn't have come back that late. Don't get me wrong. I'm a Cowboys fan, but I liked Jackie. Came out of retirement for that one game.

Lot's of commentary but not much of the actual game.
Tell this guy to wear a mask and he might shoot you: 0:35 Though he's probably dead from having been shot. RIP
