The best documentary on Waters on the web! Your storytelling is always phenomenal!! Wonderful video!
@@Jackson-kq4ro
Appreciate you 🙏
Man one of my heroes in my early childhood
Childhood hero. Should be in ROH. He was clutch in playoff games
@@garytruex6906
He should be.
Charlie Waters was a top notch defender. He was also a ball hawk. And let's not forget he was to me one of the best hitters. Smart and able to understand how the plays develop. And being a member of the great Doomsday defense didn't hurt at all. Thank you so much LC for the excellent work and have a great weekend.🙏
@aaronlopez492
One of a kind player! Enjoy your weekend bro!
Charlie should be in the HOF, period. He always played best in big games.
@@butcherofntexas4966
Definitely!
Charlie Waters is one of my very favorite Cowboys ever. I LOVED #41. Great video!
@aktxag
appreciate you bro!
Best Secondary that the Cowboys EVER had. Yes, better than Deion. Why Waters isn’t in the NFL Hall of Fame is beyond me. He holds the record of most interceptions in the post season and in one game on top of being a Super Bowl Champion. He was also apart of Thurman’s Thieves.
@@appollosharris6319
And Charlie’s Angels!
Agree a true hall of famer ,nfl should have have there
I beg to differ. Great secondary. I wouldn't call it the best. They gave up the deep ball too much. That's why the Steelers beat em in those Super Bowls. You could beat em deep
I wore #41 playing Free Safety in Highschool because of Charlie Waters. He was my favorite player on my favorite team; the Dallas Cowboys.
Man how I luvd to watch that defense play football. Not only dealing with the heartbreaking defeat against the niners, dealing with Waters retirement added more heartbreak. Charlie always seemed to be in the right place.

good post!
An extraordinary story, extraordinarily told.
Thanks bro!!
My heroes have always been Cowboys!
@@robertmorris8997
Great heroes.
Tom Landry had the patience to keep Waters on the team because he most likely would have been cut after the 1972 NFC Championship as Charlie Taylor of the Redskins was torching him. Even Charlie Waters said in an interview that he didn't have the speed for a corner and like Landry was a better safety. Once he made the switch to safety, he made the defense even better.

facts!!
All facts
great player hard worker good holder excellent mid fielder great defensive coordinator. Thanks for doing this video
@@paulwidener5691
Should be in the hall of fame! Thanks for watching!
@@thelogicalcowboy completely agree
Man that was awesome! Ive been a Cowboys fan since i was a day old! I remember playing football with my brothers and intersept a pass and holla Charlie Walters when i was running it in for a touchdown. He should be in the hall of fame. I cant believe hes not.
Thanks! Good post!
Pure gold. Great video man. 👍😎⭐️
@@drakulie
Appreciate you bro!
If Cliff Harris got into the Hall of Fame, Charlie Waters should be there too
@michaelleroy9281
Charlie should definitely be in the Hall of Fame. But what's a crime is that he's not in the ring of honor.
Belongs in the NFL Hall of Fame 🏈🥇🎖️🏆
@@previnlubom4498
He sure does!
He played in 5 Super Bowls for one team. That's enough to get you in imo
What a journey. I never realized he went through all of that to become a dominant safety.
Thanks for another great video! Waters, like all the Cowboys, was one of my favorite players.
@davidmauldin6295
Thanks, for watching!
Charlie Waters was one of my favorite players growing up. The word perseverance perfectly describes him. He was smart, determined and a class act, a great role model. He will always be one of my favorite Cowboys. LC, you are the goat of Cowboys content! Thanks for another great video.
@@_Dave_S
Great point! Thanks for watching bro!
Great stuff. Don't forget Randy Hughes he was up there with Cliff Harris and Waters ,
Charlie Waters was a beast when I was in elementary school I would always pretend to be him and always made my friends feel jealous that I was Charlie Waters
@ChandlerHearn
Lol. Good days! I did the same with Michael Irvin! My brother used to be Emmitt Smith. Childhood football memories are the best! Thanks for watching bro!
Great Video!!!!! Being a child in the 70s, I grew up watching Charlie Waters and dude was always there when you needed him. A very great underrated player. Charlie is still third in career interceptions for the Cowboys (behind Mel Renfro and Everson Walls) after being retired over forty years and is #9 in most post season appearances. the fact he is not in ROH is a disrespectful travesty. Awesome video, and thank you for shining light on one of the greatest Cowboys.
@@cjtexas9646
Great info! Appreciate you bro!

I remember that Harold Jackson game
4 TDs was amazing. I was 12 and a rams fan
Nice video. As a long time fan, I always saw Charlie and Cliff as a reflection of each each. He was a big play maker and the quarterback of the defense. If Cliff is in the RoR and HoF so should Charlie.
Great post! I absolutely agree! He was just as important to those '70s defenses as Harris. Always an honor hearing from you bro!
you taking the time to do this video is beautiful History, just awesome and Thank you
Appreciate you!!
I attended Clemson starting in '68 and Charlie was our QB. Those years were Frank Howard's final years and those teams were bad. I liked Waters as a QB but was not surprised that he got drafted in a different position. I'm sure all Clemson alumni were so very proud of Waters' success at Dallas. In those days, Clemson did not have very many players to be drafted, so it was great for those few.
Thanks for sharing this!!
Waters is amazing. I may be mistaken, but I believe the first choice at FS that year was Richmond Flowers. I'm not 100% on the sequence but. I think it went Flowers for 3 games, Harris for 5, then Waters for 6. Flowers either was injured or didn't measure up or both, opening the door for Harris. I really love how you highlight that 1970 was a makeover year for the secondary. Imagine, one of the top teams in the NFL in 1969 and it completely makes over its secondary (and O-line) the following year. Every starter was in a new position in the backfield. Add to that the effort they went to, to add new talent, with 5 draft picks, a big FA rookie, and a major trade. What they got short term was their best secondary ever (IMO). What they got long term were two awesome safety's and a fair CB in Mark Washington. What they didn't get, and never really did get, was a shut down corner like Renfro. Aaron Kyle came the closest, but not getting another Renfro was one of the major reasons Dallas' defenses began to ebb after 1978. Back to Waters, his big play ability was just insane. Th epics, the blocked kicks, the fumbler recoveries- just a remarkable nose of the ball. But I think his biggest contribution to the team form '75 on was just how respected he was by the players on that defense. respected of this hustle, his grit and more than anything, his brains.
@christianstough6337
As always, great and informative post!
@@thelogicalcowboy Thanks man. I'm up to 1977 in my draft data journey. 12 more year s to go and I'll give you the results.
If everyone tried as hard as Charlie we would never lose...
Coach Tom Landry
@@chrisneuman550
Great quote!
I never knew how difficult it was for Waters' journey to greatness. He had to overcome a lot. Very good video! I still learn a lot from you despite my huge amount of knowledge for Cowboys history as a fan.
He's inspiring. Thanks bro! Appreciate the compliment.
After “The Manster” Charlie is probably my fav Defense Player from those 70’s early 80’s teams. Landry loved him because their careers were very similar. Listen to a lot of those Dallas players from that time & Charlie is at the top of the list of most respected. Great video as always!!
Good post bro!!
Great story and narration.
@@pe7143
Thanks bro!
The defensive backs we have had since Renfro...its astounding. Waters is forgotten overall but old time Cowboy fans know who he was AND WHAT HE MEANT. Perfect player for Landry.
Get him in the HOF!!!
Logical, awesome as usual. Thanks.
@@Brad_Huff
Appreciate you bro!
When I saw the thumbnail I thought his journey to greatness might involve a haircut. ; ) Charlie Waters is one of the most thoughtful players in NFL history. He was the one who coined nicknames for his teammates like "Manster". He was the shaper of narratives, many of which we've heard that persist to this day. He lifted up the reputations of his team, but from I can tell has been humble about his own underrated legacy. This was an awesome deep dive into his story. Thank you for this video!
@@krl97a
Always enjoy your post bro. Glad you liked the video!
Great Cowboy, responsible for many key plays and victories, including big playoff games!!
Great presentation LC. I have 3 Cowboys 'throwback' jerseys. 74 Bob Lily, 32 Walt Garrison, the third is none other than 41 Charlie Waters.

Appreciate you bro!!
That picture of him to start the video, I thought he was nepolian dynamites uncle……😂😂😂😂
😂 😂
Good research, good clips, good storyline. Waters should have been in the HOF before Harris. I often wonder what the HOF voters actually evaluate.
@texasstadium
Appreciate you bro. I don't understand. I think it's political. I also think it's a crime that he's not in the ring of honor!
Wasn't there a time when Coach Landry was really laying into Charlie Waters for a missed play in the Cowboys team conference room and Charlie was really feeling Coach Landry's wrath, when sudden Landry stops where Charlie was seating at stated something like "If I had 45 players like Charlie Waters, the heart of a lion, we'd never lose a game.' Don't quote me but something like that. Hope I didn't mess that up to badly. THE SARGE
@@thesarge4457
Thanks for sharing that Sarge!
Love it !❤❤❤
Thanks bro
I've always liked Charlie Waters as a Cowboys safety. He was a competitor who always gave 100 percent to the game and was a student of the game which all greats are.
Great video man. Love that secondary
Thanks bro!!
Interesting as all get out. Didn't know one tenth of this before viewing this video.
@@robertwildes7550
Wow! Thanks for watching!
Charlie Waters was great reminds me invincible but a better career needs to be in the Hall of Fame
I did it. I evaluated every draft pick from 1967-1988 using AV. Which means I can give an average for every draft pick in the draft and evaluate trades not by who was picked, but by the value of the draft pick. I can also evaluate drafts based on expected AV versus actual AV acquired. I can also evaluate who did a better job of accumulating picks for the draft. Was Ralph Neely really worth a 1st rounder, a second rounder, and two 5th rounders (beyond the fact that the trade was needed to resolve a dispute between Houston and Dallas and therefor crucial to the merger). The answer is yes. Those draft picks had a combined expected value of 77.9 AV (a huge AV sum), but Ralph Neely produced 113 AV for Dallas, so Dallas came out on top by 35.1 AV in the trade. We really should share email.
Wow!! I said it once and I'll say it again. You're a genius my friend.
Incredible video. Keep up the great work.
@@robertsaunders1345
Thanks bro!
Oak Farms "Player Of The Week" almost every week.
@@robprice5489
Wow!
I still remember the Cowboys playing the Rams the season that John Hadl was QB and they had traded for Harold Jackson. Hadl threw one of his old Sid Gillman plays at Waters at CB, and Jackson scored on a 60-yard TD pass. Jackson went on to get another 3 TD receptions after that. I think Landry moved Waters to safety shortly after that game. Waters was a good, hard-nosed player, but was a much better NFL safety than an NFL corner. The man was the real deal in that era of the league, despite a tough game against Jackson.
Belongs in hof and ring of honor

@@ripkobe248 thanks bro
@@thelogicalcowboy please keep doing more, some of us can’t get enough of cowboy lore like this
LC - you know I’m a Redskins fan. Glad to get this video though… I think he was the first Cowboy I liked on football merits (liked Drew for his class at the end of 1982 NFC championship)… my feeling was that Cliff was a dirty player but Charlie always a class act…
As a Cowboys fan from 1960 through 1988, I would wholeheartedly agree.
@@texasstadium thanks - my least favorite Cowboy in the 1970s is now my favorite….total class act….that of course would be Roger!
Miss those days… I live in DC area but we have a 2 Redskins and 2 Cowboys fans family… quite the battles back in the day…
@davidfiddleman2312
Most non-Cowboys fans will agree. Lol. I completely understand bro! But A lot of players played that way back then. From Butkus, Lambert, to Tatum. That's how it was in the 60s and 70s. If those kinds of players were on your team you loved them. If they weren't you hated them. So I completely understand. Always appreciate you, bro!
@@thelogicalcowboy truth!
Charlie waters cursed me out. When I was 18 years old at six flags over Texas all I said was hello
Charlie Waters was one of those guys who wasn't the fastest, most athletic, or strongest guy on the field but he had a keen instinct for the game. I have several books on the Cowboys and one of them is about Charlie Waters and Cliff Harris. It's titled "Tales From the Dallas Cowboys Sideline." It was part of a series of books about different NFL teams and this one is one of four about the Cowboys. It's one of those books that you want to read if you are a Cowboys fan.
@@komradkolonel
That's on my bucket list.
The best Cowboys safety before Darren Woodson. Both are so underrated.
@@richardcoronado4081
Completely agree!
Cliff Harris and Charlie Waters were awesome at safety for the 70s Cowboys. Both could REALLY hit, Harris was probably a better player. Charlie was a fierce hitter, but Cliff Harris was an even more lethal when "laying the wood". Charlie finally started playing along side of Harris and his insticts back there were great. He was always breaking up and even intercepting passes. I was too young to remember Watters at corner, but I doubt he had the speed to play CB. (I honestly can't believe they played him there) GREAT SAFETY, never should have been at corner. As a safety, he made big plays, weather it was a key interception or a big hit. He played both free and strong safety, but he was better around the line of scrimmage. I personally dont think he's a H.o.Fer, but he's close. I think you have to be GREAT to be in the HoF, its not the Hall of very good.
Wait, Charlie Waters is not in the HOF? I am a 70's Steelers fan, and it's a crime that CW is not in the HOF.
@richardc7497
Nope. It's crazy! Thanks for watching bro!
I wonder what Ricky Waters is doing today? NP LC
@BonnScott1980
They just did an NFL film on him a few months back. He looks like he's doing well.

@@TheMick126
I agree!
Waters was WAY too slow to play cornerback. Luckily he was extremely smart in football. Second best studies on defense. Cliff Harrison was even more extreme. They said Harris and Waters would know the defense tendencies for every down and situation in the opponents last game. Harris would then go back and look at games further back in the season. The Cowboys were almost always in the top of the NFL in pass defense and against the run. Man I miss the way football use to be -laced.
If you ever want to know what angles not to take watch Waters in Super Bowls against Steelers. Waters and Harris got burned by Swann and Stallworth.
Any fool says that Charlie water was better then Deon is a complete nut. 😅
University of Tennessee
I like c water but come on he was close to deon.😂😂
Charley waters used to get beat all the time he was sorry
“Digressed”?
Lol
Terrible corner
Another great video! You make better documentaries on the Cowboys than the so-called professionals. Thanks for shining the spotlight on Waters!
