Man I miss those screens from 1978

Drew sprained his knee one year jumping up and doing a spike.

Yes he did.

And next offensive series Landry had Drew run a deep post. He did and he scored. Coach was not happy with Pearson.

Drew used to get very excited during games, I remember him tossing his cookies on Monday night and the camera caught it lol. Greatest clutch receiver I ever saw...should be in HOF.

Heard Herm Edwards name in there at one point.ha. Dorsett was so fast

That he was. If he had a hole, he was gone.

My favorite Cowboy eva!

I remember the camera catching Pearson puking on that Monday Night game I was eating and almost lost my dinner when I saw him. Left me traumatized for about a week. lol

Some regular ol Andy griffiths up in this piece

Vs the Giants IIRC.

Hard to imagine a better play-by-play guy than Pat Summeral.

He was the voice of the NFL in my opinion.

Is anyone even close? Certainly no one currently, but what about historically?

Nobody will or ever... have the voice and delivery of Pat.

Just my 2 cents.

I liked Don Criqui and Lindsay Nelson back in the day.

 

[YosemiteSam]

This one is from 1977, is it okay?

 

[MichaelValentino]

He was the voice of the NFL in my opinion.

Absolutely, Lane.

And John Facenda's narration for NFL Films was almost surreal it was so perfect.

Both of those men left an indelible mark.

All the more reason not to do those things!

 

[DallasDomination]

The linemen stood up in sync with the FB and HB shifting. It was designed to make pre snap reads for the DL and MLB harder.

Plus, it looked cool.

Hell yeah it looked awesome. Every time I watch old games or clips that always sticks out. I've fantasized about the Cowboys returning to glory and the Oline doing this retro move again. Just a dominant force again like the old days. Maybe even add a little intimidation factor too.

The problem with Criqui his voice would crack occasionally.

The only one I can think of historically as far as doing NFL games would be Dick Enberg.

Why did the offensive line stand up and back down like that? Was that a trade mark move or timing thing ? Forgive the ignorance I don't go that far back. But I love it when they do that. Maybe our oline can bust it out on a big drive or something

Not sure if you know this but Romo got together with the offensive line and honored that tradition on kneel down plays at the end of games last year. The whole offensive line went up and reset down again. I don't know how to post a GIF but I bet somebody could find it.

Didn't see it this year because - well we were in no position to take kneel downs at the end of games.

One thing that jumped off the screen at me watching that was how the ball now explodes of kickers legs. Sepiten's ball was going through the middle of the goal posts with not a lot of juice on extra points. Now even from the 30 the ball just jumps. Pretty amazing.

Notice how everyone has on sleeves except for Roger?

Agree - I loved Enberg. Before both of them was Curt Gowdy. He was really the voice of network television sports in the 60's and early 70's.
