Sideline Footage From Cowboys v Eagles November 18, 1973

[Motorola]

To have a Robert Newhouse now would be amazing.

And a Billy Joe Dupree.

I never had the chance to see Roger Staubach but man what a player
who is number 44?

 

[DandyDon52]

So Garrison with 153 total yards. Calvin Hill with 15 runs for 71 yards and Newhouse 7 carries for 81 yards.

They ran the ball 40 times and averaged 7.2 yards a carry.

Meanwhile Staubach completed 7 of 16 for 108 yards. four of those completions went to RB's. He threw 2 TD's but also 3 INT's that game.

That's what I'm talking about. When the QB, a HOFer, had a bad day, the rest of the team stepped up. The Eagles picked their poison and choked on it.

So Staubach was a bus driver at times ?? lol
If a team can run that good, there is no need to pass.
16 passes and 3 ints! that was a bad day or good pass defense.

It happens.

in 1992, the year of the Cowboys first SB in the 90's, Troy Aikman had a 55.2 passer rating in a game the Cowboys won 27-0. He threw two INT's with zero TD's.

When a team is a true contender and a quarterback has a bad game then that is no excuse for a loss.

Game was 50 seasons ago...but today's Cowboys need to take note for how to do it this fall.
Pollard, Dowdle, Davis, and / or rookie RB --split the carries like they did back then.

Aikman had a similar game in 1992 with a 55.2 passer rating with two INT's, no TD's. The Cowboys won 27-0. As I stated in another thread, when a QB has a bad day then that is not an excuse for a loss if that team is a true contender.

Robert Newhouse.
Back in the day --- Fooball fans across the State of Texas knew and marveled about this player.
He is a Houston Cougars' legend (his college team) and a fan favorite --and accomplished member of the Dallas Cowboys.
Take some time and research his football accompishments.

Rules were different also, WRs could be pushed around all the way down field, more difficult to pass.

 

[Pass2Run]

Was 9 when this was played, love the 70’s.

It looks great, actually. I remember remnants from that era. Gen Xer here, I guess you could say.

 

[ChuckA1]

I was a sophomore in college. Cowboys had just won their first superbowl the year before and hopes were high for a second one.

 

[Cowpolk]

it was reported you were taking up two seats.

Nah it was an isle seat so I was only partially blocking the isle well mostly blocking the isle but to be honest I weighed 175 pounds at that time and was boxing

true, but I wonder did you know that back then?? that was before all the internet stats sites, and in newspaper they didnt give passer ratings.
Today we have way more info, which is why many are more critical.

Back then it was all in the monday paper lol, few articles on the game , if you lived in dallas area, and that one little stats thing with first downs yds rushing etc.

In 92-93 dallas had a great defense and special teams, that are overlooked for winning the SB's.
The offense got all the credit for the wins, but those other 2 won many of those games.

I keep hearing about the defense being the dominant force in the 90's. So.eone even mentioned that their first SB featured the Bill's "prolific" offense matched against the Cowboys defense.

The facts are, the Cowboys offense scored more than the Bills that season. They were ranked higher in scoring points than the Cowboys defense in preventing them.

In 1992 the Cowboys were ranked #2 in scoring. The only reason they weren't ranked higher in yardage is because they were so efficient they didn't need those yards.

The Bills were ranked #3 in scoring and the Cowboys defense, although ranked first in yardage was #5 in preventing points.

In their second SB season both offense and defense was ranked #2 when it came to scoring. They were both ranked #3 in their 3rd SB season. During the season they lost to the 49ers in the conference game the offense was ranked #2 and the defense #3

Their success was both linked to each other. The defense would allow the offense more drives and improved field position while the offensive scoring turned opponent's offense into a one dimensional passing game as they struggled to keep up.

As far as the new improved methods that results in advanced stats, they must rely on more than simple production numbers like frequency and distance and specific results of a play. There is an element of opinion involved, if I'm not mistaken.

One such example is the determination as to whether a ball is "catchable". I'm sure there is some agreed upon "radius" used. However, let me ask as simple question?

Has an "uncatchable" ball ever been caught? For example, the acrobatic catches made by OBJ or some other. Where they deemed catchable at the time and, if so, was that the same criteria placed on all receivers?

Isn't the fact that calling the catch "atrobatic" imply that the ball was initially considered uncatchable?

How does that go down in advanced stats?
