Video: Harvey Martin on one drive

In Super Bowl 27, Harvey Martin and Randy White dominated the Denver Broncos so thoroughly, that their starting quarterback, Craig Morton, recorded a zero passer rating.

Those were the days....

Was JG Coaching the Cards....Green flash backs hitting me..."Umm your LT can not handle that guy at all!"

 

[Hagman]

Someone send this to Jerry and tell him to put Harvey in the Ring of Honor.

Two other thoughts:
1. I wonder if that #60 on the Cardinals decided to give up football and enter the priesthood after this game.
2. I hated Jim Hart. Most of my memories of him are of his Cardinals giving us absolute fits.

The backup comes in, sees Martin bull rushing toward him and just sits down.

Yeah he did! Harvey was a fast bull, look how much bigger and faster he is than that LT..lol, Maybe the coach was asking the RB to chip and the RB was like "F that"

This was from 1977. Martin had 23 sacks that year (sacks were an unofficial statistic up until 1982), and won not only the Super Bowl MVP (along with Randy White), but also the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award. He was lights out that season.

#60 was Roger Finnie who played 11 years in the NFL. He retired after the 1979 season.

Pearson & Harris' respective HOF cases were the most well known from the Cowboys of the '70s, but the late Harvey Martin was so good, but now so forgotten his own franchise has not enshrined him.

Martin is not going to be in the HOF until the Cowboys put him in their Ring of Honor. And Jimmy Johnson is in the HOF but not in Dallas's Ring of Honor. WTH Jerry? Why don't you have someone handling this department being you're too busy?!

That last play the QB just gave up.
Guess they never heard of chipping…

 

[conner01]

Those were the days....

Yep
Half of the snaps would have been a penalty today

 

[big dog cowboy]

The disrespect shown to Martin really pisses me off.

Opposing QBs did not want to get Martinized.

 

[Concord]

It's absolutely ridiculous that Martin isn't in the Hall of Fame and the Ring of Honor.
If you disagree, you never saw the man play or you don't know football.

 

[Bullflop]

Coach Ernie Stautner told Martin he was "too nice" one day early in his career, in practice! That really got him going. After that, he was a changed player who took delight in dishing out pain to anyone that got into his way. The change was drastic and extremely dramatic. That was all he needed to hear.

He got meaner than a junk yard dog, giving roundhouse forearm smashes to QBs necks with great regularity. It made me wince, just imagining the pain he caused. Many of those QBs didn't get up for a good while, if they did at all. Nobody said he was "too nice" after that. It became his calling card.

 

[Captain-Crash]

ole Jim hart. you gotta have hart. lol, I remember that game.

The disrespect shown to Martin really pisses me off.

And It’s not just Martin. It’s Martin, Ed Jones, Waters, Green, etc….

The Ring of Honor is a perfect metaphor Jerry Jones. Incomplete and symbol of incompetence.

 

[mrmojo]

His resume is as comparable to any DL in the HOF right now.....its a mystery to me why he isn't in the HOF....one of the best at his position during his era and had dominant years...
