- In a 1980 game between the San Diego Chargers and Dallas Cowboys, quarterback and punter Danny White called two fake punts, without telling any of his teammates what he was doing. Both times, he was successful. This is the story of the time that Danny White fooled everyone twice in the same game

Danny White was not given the credit he deserved!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not intentional grounding because he was hit while throwing, not throwing to avoid a sack.
Yep. Pretty obvious.
I was about to write the same :). It's a fairly routine and obvious conclusion.
I agree it wasn’t even questionably close to intentionally grounding. I think the commentator of this video didn’t clearly look at the better angle of the play. Danny white was one tough cookie!! Quarter back. iLife hard enough scrambling .running , eye wide open darting left right and everywhere to find Oppenheimer receivers ten trying to keeps a peripheral vision around ur self so u can stay alive,, then most don’t know this but I remember Tom Landry saying he Lars Danny call almost every play in the huddle, oh and then after exhaustion from quarterbacking and exhaustion from ur brain handling everything physically and intellectually for a good offense drive . Lol lol damn now I got to throw all my power in a big striking punt!! You’d think the legs wouldn’t handle it well. But amazingly he actually was better punter than 90’percent of the nfl punters that only powered up for couple punts a game!! Incredible athlete he was.. and he hold’s the record in Dallas for the best on punt yaardage percentage still. They say he was the Tony romp of the 80’s.. Danny was wasaay waaay.better than romo.
It was great having a starting qb as the punter too. My favorite qb ever.
I really like Danny White too. Would've been nice if he made a Superbowl.
Danny White was the original Tony Romo
So true
@@christinablakley7261 dude was exciting to watch but always lost the big game
@@amancalledhawk5575 What BIG games did Danny lose all by himself? It's a TEAM sport.
No grounding because it was a throw affected by the hit....
I don't think this is correct. Brady got hit with intentional grounding when he got hit by Justin Tuck during the 2011 Super Bowl. Sure Brady's throw was farther but that doesn't make a difference on that kind of call. Here's the clip in question. czcams.com/video/9PsA_9qIIcI/video.html
Yes, it's a fairly routine call to make, or in this case, not to call. I'm not sure why this CZcamsr brought it up.
If I recall correctly, Coach Landry always gave Danny White the choice to fake the punt if he saw an opportunity.
Having your QB as the punter was certainly a unique situation. Danny White was an excellent athlete
1980 Raiders/Seahawks MNF. The Seahawks pull a fake field goal touchdown. Second half Ray Guy runs a fake punt, 24 yards, wakes up offense and helps Raiders win.
Danny is my second favorite Cowboy QB behind Roger. Probably the most underrated QB ever.
I was at that game!!! My first Dallas Cowboys game live. I was 13 !
Many consider BOTH the 1980-81 Cowboys and Chargers as two of the all-time best teams never to win it all.
Neat video, always liked Danny white. I agree with what's already been said, Danny white was hit in the back by 71 before he releases the ball..
Also of note, Danny white caught a few touchdown passes in his career decades before the "Philly special"
I remember when I played HS football.. and the punter often was also another starter somewhere else.. and guys like Danny White, who was the punter AND the teams starting quarterback, well we prepared for this kind of thing every time that happened... and at the HS level.. that was about once per year.... So that would not be a surprise to me.. at least not as much as some take it for... I always loved watching White.. kind of a throwback in being a QB and Punter too.... He was the last and I remember they tried to replace him at P... but the guys they tried to replace him with, never could out-kick him...
i loved danny white, just didnt quite make superbowl, but thats ok, he played great
Those 2 successful fake punts made the difference in the ball game!
DW kinda reminds me of Romo. Both made unbelievable plays at times and playing in the shadow of legends (Staubach /Aikman). They put up the numbers but never got the the big game. Although DW made it farther in the playoffs.
Danny had the HOF coach
Tell me you don't know the intentional grounding rule, without telling me you don't know the intentional grounding rule.
Danny White doesn't get a lot of credit as he never led the Cowboys to the Super Bowl. Injuries derailed him from 84-88.
Air Coryell vs America’s Team
Listening to Don Meredith..."I know he did that on his own!"
Dang. Wish you played the MNF boys' reactions to the 2nd one. That would have been fun to hear
Danny white was a heck of a player, unfortunately the rest of the team was not and HOF coach was already too well known!!
intentional grounding....seriously.....he got drilled in back while releasing the ball.....thats why no flag....
Haha! I was age 15 in stands that night. I heard Dandy Don say White tried a fake in 1979 "and it backfired" (I don't remember it), because before I heard that I was going to ask if you know what White's fake punt success rate was. Maybe I'm wrong in how often he did it and how successful he was, but if I had to make a pure guess, I would say 7 out of 8
Still my favorite Cowboys QB.
Tony Dorsett didn't play this game, which probably made the decision easier for White to gamble.
Always a big Danny White fan. Both fakes were outstanding but that 2nd
one was pure White the athlete. Excellent editing. I had problem w/audio on my end
It's wa i'm here I remember a lot of fake punts
IMO this wasn’t going off the grid, most great coaches gives a specific player the freedom to check into specific fakes if they get the right look whether it’s the punter or the personal protector. Landry would never admit this to the press though because teams would start lining up to take away those fakes away or worse teams would line up in a way to trick them into attempting those fakes while knowing full well what to expect.
Amazing Sunday night game was a rarity... I think why people hate my cowboys so much is that when it did happen it was always the BOYS
OK son when you say the ref's were wrong, and you go out of your way to announce there was no way that his pass was anything but intentional grounding. take another look Whites arm when he was hit. The defense hit his arm and the ball. There was no way to determine what the intended target was. There can be no grounding when the defense completely changes the ball's trajectory by contact. You may have an argument for fumble because its hard to see if the impact to the arm came when it was going back or forward. Back would be fumble, forward incomplete pass.
The premise of this video is false, or at least misleading. This wasn't a bizarre or unusual occurrence. Landry treated Danny White like a great base-stealer; he had the green light to go whenever he saw an opening. None of his fake punts were called from the sidelines.
The title says "2 Fake Punts in 1 Game".
Perhaps reading English and having a comprehension level higher than than the average Philadelphia Eagles fan just isn't your game...
@@tdpittman5676 It's almost like a magic trick, right? That one person who calls out another for a lack of English comprehension and then, of course, makes a grammatical error.
* than (only one is necessary, Stretch)
I'm not even sorry.
@@anthonystone8270 @TD Pittman We found them, the PC police is right here. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Give it a break. The pittman's english comment was bad and then anthony doubles down on it. Yikes.
@@sicily7220
The "PC Police". Even more magic.
Plus, you said "yikes".
I don't know if I can argue with someone who affiliates proper grammar with political correctness. I always understood speaking The King's was apolitical.
But, I digress. You said "yikes" so I suppose cartoons are your preferred choice of entertainment. Nothing wrong with that but it means I will have to adjust my expectations in how we move forward.
Can I tempt you with a sandwich Scoob or will a snack suffice until you grasp the knowledge necessary to rise to a higher level of intelligent public debate?
Scooby Dooby Do!!
@@anthonystone8270 lol. poor poor anthony, did mama always know you were special? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
The bum never made a Super Bowl.
Yeah, I hear ya. At least he made it to numerous NFC Championship games. Tony Romo couldn't even do that!
You were a better NFL QB?
@@jamesage24 you were better than both of them?
