IN the Jan 1978 Super Bowl, the Big D suffocated Morton all the game until they knocked him out. It was the greatest display of Doomsday Defense. Let us not forget 3rd safety Randy Hughes, 5 tackles, an interception and two fumbles recoveries. Randy was a superior talent who could have been All-Pro, but he kept getting serious shoulder injuries.

What I remember loving was thinking how the Boys got a number one pick off the Giants for Craig Morton in 1974, which turned out to be Randy White and the Giants released Morton.

Harvey was that good but it looks less impressive against an inferior opponent like the Cardinals. They were NFC East rivals back then and two sure-fire wins almost every season for the Cowboys.

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.
2. Yep, they gave the Cowboys fits, it was that Coryell offense with Terry Metcalf, Mel Gray, Jackie Smith, Jim Otis, Donny Anderson...
