The 1979 Dallas Cowboys were really a championship team in transition from the apex of the championship teams of the 1970’s…..as “Captain Comeback” to this lil ole Chiweenie….”Roger the Dodger” to millions more….was coming to the end of a brilliant career….now don’t get me wrong…..just like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees of today…..Captain Comeback could still deliver the mail….and put his offense on his back….in his hands….and carry them to victory…..no matter how much time was left in the game…..just gimme the ball…..and Staubach still had it in 1979. In my Sportsphile opinion….they were a championship calibre offense….but The Boys didn’t have the same quality of defense….that their fans, like me, were used to seeing….I am talking about outstanding defensive lines….with linebackers to die for…..fast and hitters….a batch of defensive backs that could go one on one….and deliver the goods when plugging the holes in the run game….for that is what the championships years had provided….but…..they were still the Dallas Cowboys….as this video so aptly shows.
