00:00:00And we'll see you here next week
00:00:27cool clear day in Irving Texas
00:00:30Dallas Cowboys a battle for
00:00:33first place before a sold out
00:00:35crowd over sixty thousand in
00:00:37attendance.
00:00:39Here's the way it looks in the
00:00:40NFC East.
00:00:42The Cowboys who've won five
00:00:43straight five and two along with
00:00:46the Giants who lost that
00:00:47heartbreaker to the Jets last
00:00:49week also five and two Dan
00:00:51Reeves the giant coach first
00:00:54regular season visit ever to
00:00:56Texas Stadium as a head coach
00:00:58here at Summer Hall with John
00:00:59Madden.
00:01:00What do the Giants have to do to
00:01:02win this game.
00:01:03Well of course they were
00:01:04counting on having their all pro
00:01:06running back Rodney Hampton back
00:01:08today.
00:01:08They tried Rodney Hampton out in
00:01:10the pregame warm up and decided
00:01:13that he couldn't go.
00:01:14So they're going to start Lewis
00:01:15Tillman again and Lewis Tillman
00:01:17isn't bad.
00:01:18He's averaging five point three
00:01:19yards a carry.
00:01:20So what they'll do is they'll
00:01:22play Tillman and Dave Megan try
00:01:24and control the ball.
00:01:26I think a lot of it is this
00:01:27defensive line.
00:01:28They have to control that
00:01:30Dallas defense both on run
00:01:32blocking and pass protection and
00:01:33the Cowboys have a lot of fire
00:01:35power.
00:01:36You talk about a running back
00:01:38that's hot.
00:01:38But this guy Evan Smith last
00:01:40week he gave two hundred and
00:01:42thirty seven yards.
00:01:43He said yesterday he's ready for
00:01:45another day like that today.
00:01:47Brad D'Alessio set to kick it
00:01:50off temperature right now.
00:01:51Fifty four degrees.
00:01:52It's supposed to get up in the
00:01:53low 60s partly sunny all day
00:01:56long the wind 10 or 15 miles an
00:01:59hour.
00:01:59Kevin Williams and Kenneth Gant
00:02:02back for Dallas Brad D'Alessio
00:02:05to kick it off good coverage.
00:02:20Troy Aikman the quarterback for
00:02:23Dallas operating behind a
00:02:27veteran big strong offing some
00:02:29offensive line to an eight
00:02:30Newton Stepnowski Gogan and Eric
00:02:33Williams and the fellows who
00:02:35handle the ball Emmett Smith
00:02:37Darrell Johnson the two running
00:02:39backs Irvin Harper wide J.
00:02:41Novacek is the tight end first
00:02:45in 10 Dallas at their own twenty
00:02:47two as good as there is.
00:02:53He's going to be outside the 25
00:03:03and let's look at the giant
00:03:04defense three man front Fox
00:03:06Dillard and Hamilton the four
00:03:10linebackers who make most of the
00:03:11tackles can Avis McGee Brooks
00:03:14Bailey and Miller and the
00:03:16secondary Perry Williams and
00:03:18Mark Collins the cornerbacks
00:03:19Jackson and Guyton the two
00:03:20safeties they're playing well I
00:03:22mean when you look at those New
00:03:24York giant linebackers you don't
00:03:26see number 56 Lawrence Taylor as
00:03:28a starter he may be used on
00:03:31special occasions this is Smith
00:03:32the lead job close to a first
00:03:36down Corey Miller made the stop
00:03:40with Stacey Dillard you know the
00:03:43guys are really have to make the
00:03:44tackles the way this defense of
00:03:46the Giants is set up is Michael
00:03:49Brooks and Carlton Bailey the two
00:03:51defensive line guys what the
00:03:52defensive line does is they try
00:03:54and just follow up blocking
00:03:56combinations hold the offensive
00:03:58line not let them get to the
00:04:00inside linebackers and then
00:04:01Bailey and Brooks are the
00:04:02leading tacklers on this team
00:04:04and they have to be because
00:04:05they're the guys they try and
00:04:06free up to make the third and
00:04:08short about a yard.
00:04:09No one checked by Jackson here
00:04:20and the two linebackers in the
00:04:22middle and look if you look here
00:04:24right here these are the two
00:04:26guys right and the whole defense
00:04:28is made up for the two inside
00:04:30linebackers make the tackle
00:04:32down the front group Dillard and
00:04:34Fox and Hamilton.
00:04:35They're in there just to try and
00:04:37keep those blockers off these
00:04:39two inside guys just to hold
00:04:41their ground.
00:04:42If they do that they feel they've
00:04:43done a good job.
00:04:44To the forty three forty two
00:04:46maybe stop by Mark Cullen and
00:04:49Michael Brooks in the Dallas
00:04:53Cowboys are you are going to use
00:04:54Johnston more as a receiver
00:04:56today out here in this short
00:04:58flat like a tight end Jim Price
00:05:01who's their second tight end is
00:05:02injured and isn't going to play
00:05:03today so they're going to use
00:05:05Johnston as a receiver.
00:05:07He's going to be the one to
00:05:08get the ball and he's going to
00:05:09be the one to get the ball.
00:05:10He's going to be the one to get
00:05:11the ball and he's going to be
00:05:12the one to get the ball.
00:05:13He's going to be the one to get
00:05:14the ball.
00:05:15He's going to be the one to get
00:05:16the ball.
00:05:16He's going to use Johnston as a
00:05:19fullback but also as a second
00:05:21tight end type second and five
00:05:26he of course is a fine blocker
00:05:29for him and he's a good football
00:05:32player hit right at the line of
00:05:35scrimmage by Brooks and it's
00:05:39good to start with Brooks didn't
00:05:41get the ball but the inside
00:05:44linebackers making the tackle
00:05:46Michael Brooks the guy you see
00:05:48the line is going to take on the
00:05:49blocks and you're going to see
00:05:51ninety four boom right there
00:05:52sees free no blocker could get
00:05:54on him so he's free and when
00:05:56you're free you have to make
00:05:57that tackle that was well done
00:06:01by Michael Brooks third and four
00:06:04Smith got perhaps a yard here's
00:06:07the one to get the ball take it
00:06:09down by a comment now the Giants
00:06:12are trying to get David take
00:06:14their play and take on Novak
00:06:15check tape was on Novak check
00:06:17but Aikman is so hot now and he
00:06:20is so accurate with his passing
00:06:22that the coverage was there and
00:06:24he still threw the ball in there
00:06:26and watch Aikman he's gonna he's
00:06:28going to put that ball in there
00:06:30number forty nine Tate is on
00:06:31Novak check he's right there
00:06:33Aikman put the ball to Novak
00:06:35check the only place that he
00:06:37could catch it first and ten
00:06:39close to midfield this is one of
00:06:52the things that Cowboys felt
00:06:54that they had to start their
00:06:55passing game with the way they
00:06:57the giant defense play was
00:06:59you're not going to be able to
00:07:01hit the outside receivers a lot
00:07:03so they're going to work this
00:07:04inside they're going to work
00:07:06underneath and they're going to
00:07:08work the short area you see they
00:07:11have the underneath and now they
00:07:12hit the back coming out of the
00:07:13backfield so they've thrown to
00:07:15Smith they've thrown to Novak
00:07:16check and then throw to Johnson
00:07:18and haven't gone to their outside
00:07:20receivership Smith again inside
00:07:24the giant forty nine Tate
00:07:28inside the giant forty to about
00:07:30the thirty eight Brooks and
00:07:32McGee Byron Guyton with an
00:07:37assist he's going to get right
00:07:38in here behind his right guard
00:07:41you watch Gogan here and
00:07:43Williams there those are two big
00:07:44guys they weigh about six
00:07:45hundred and twenty pounds that
00:07:47you get that lead block there by
00:07:49Johnston and just some great
00:07:51running by Emmitt Smith Smith if
00:07:55you look at him physically he
00:07:56doesn't look that big but he is
00:07:59two hundred and ten pounds and
00:08:00strong that's the first pass to
00:08:17a wide receiver and they know
00:08:19they have to get the ball to
00:08:20Michael Irvin so what they said
00:08:22is they could get it to him
00:08:23underneath and you can see by by
00:08:26coming under in this area right
00:08:28here is where they can do it if
00:08:30we can just start it and show
00:08:31what underneath me we see the
00:08:33motion come here Irvin is left
00:08:36up on this side right here.
00:08:38See now he starts here now
00:08:40underneath the linebackers and
00:08:41secondary come here and he just
00:08:43runs right underneath on a
00:08:44crossing pattern and he hits he
00:08:47hits that pass there.
00:08:48See so they had to start him on
00:08:50one side motion him to the other
00:08:52side and then bring him
00:08:53underneath the pass to the
00:08:55right side.
00:08:56So the Cowboys have taken their
00:08:58first time out.
00:09:00He went over to the sideline to
00:09:02check 916 the Cowboys left on
00:09:05the move.
00:09:10Cowboys have had nine plays
00:09:13there is Lawrence Taylor.
00:09:14No action as yet.
00:09:16He's been bothered by that bad
00:09:18hamstring he's just going to
00:09:19play on special occasions and
00:09:21those special occasions I think
00:09:23he's been bothered by passing
00:09:25down like long yardage
00:09:27situations and the giant defense
00:09:29haven't put the Cowboys in that
00:09:31situation yet too tight and set
00:09:33up for the Cowboys.
00:09:34Joey Mickey lined up on the
00:09:36right.
00:09:40Down to about the 22 stopped by
00:09:42Michael Brooks again.
00:09:44Smith is now the fourth all time
00:09:47rusher in Cowboy history.
00:09:50He is broken that record held by
00:09:52the Cowboys to move into fourth
00:09:54place.
00:09:55Yeah he's just an amazing guy.
00:09:57I mean I think he has a perfect
00:09:58build for a running back is your
00:10:00five nine two hundred and ten
00:10:03pounds.
00:10:04Not a lot to see not a lot to
00:10:06see but he's very quick and
00:10:08very very powerful and durable.
00:10:12I think he's one of the toughest
00:10:13running back from all the
00:10:14football second reception for
00:10:24Darryl Johnston known as the
00:10:26moose again because we don't
00:10:28have our second tight end Jim
00:10:30Price.
00:10:31We're going to throw him the
00:10:32ball a little more and I said
00:10:34you mean you're going to feature
00:10:35the moose and he laughed it'll
00:10:38be a cold day before we ever
00:10:40feature the moose.
00:10:42We'll utilize the moose but not
00:10:45feature it.
00:10:46I'll tell you he's a very
00:10:47important part of this offense.
00:10:49I mean you know you I mean you
00:10:50get your Michael Irvin's and you
00:10:51get your Harper's and your Emmitt
00:10:53Smith but a guy like Johnston
00:10:56makes a lot of it possible.
00:10:57He's the guy that'll catch that
00:10:58short pass.
00:10:59He's the guy that'll make that
00:11:00lead block for Emmitt Smith.
00:11:03He's a very important part of
00:11:04this offense.
00:11:05He's the guy that's going to
00:11:06catch for a first down.
00:11:07Aikman by the way is five out of
00:11:09five in this opening drive.
00:11:13This is when you love to be a
00:11:14coach when you got things going
00:11:16like this.
00:11:17But second and real short is the
00:11:19easiest down to call a play on
00:11:21because you can do anything.
00:11:23And if it doesn't work well you
00:11:25still got third down and if it
00:11:26does work he's a look at that
00:11:28and he's a look at the third and
00:11:31one very short Jimmy Johnston
00:11:38will take a gamble once in a
00:11:39while.
00:11:42He loves to gamble.
00:11:44I think I think I think that's
00:11:45one thing that makes him the top
00:11:47coach in the years is that he
00:11:49will gamble in all areas.
00:11:51He's got a lot of emotion.
00:12:04They look like that Kevin
00:12:06Golden.
00:12:06They they didn't get it.
00:12:08Kevin Golden was the tight end
00:12:10on that side.
00:12:11I don't think he got off in the
00:12:12ball.
00:12:13I don't play off the ball.
00:12:13You're right.
00:12:14They start there.
00:12:15Now he looks like the ball
00:12:17snapped and he doesn't move.
00:12:18You see he gets off there late
00:12:21and he's got to get up and get
00:12:22penetration.
00:12:23Somehow the ball came loose.
00:12:28The Cowboys got it back.
00:12:29This is a 30 yard field goal
00:12:31attempt.
00:12:32We have one Eddie Murray was a
00:12:36short guy but they didn't have a
00:12:39wing on the left side.
00:12:40The Cowboys only had 10 guys
00:12:42here.
00:12:42He comes down.
00:12:43It was a moose.
00:12:45He was loose.
00:12:47They couldn't find him.
00:12:50They couldn't find him.
00:12:51They couldn't find him.
00:12:52They couldn't find him.

00:13:10Bayer select cold and blue
00:13:12products.
00:13:13Exactly what's right for exactly
00:13:14what's wrong.
00:13:15Eddie Murray sets up to attempt
00:13:18a 34 yard field goal.
00:13:20Jay Novacek holding.
00:13:22Now they've got all 12 11 in
00:13:24there.
00:13:29Murray is good.
00:13:33The Cowboys after that long time
00:13:35consuming drive get a field goal
00:13:39and lead three nothing.
00:13:41The giant office then will be
00:13:43followed by Phil Sims in front
00:13:47of him a good offensive line.
00:13:49Elliot Roberts Oaks Cratchit
00:13:51Riesenberg Lewis Tillman starts
00:13:56at running back again.
00:13:57Jared Bunch locker for him
00:14:00McCaffrey and Jackson the wide
00:14:02receivers Howard cross the tight
00:14:04end 13 plays for the Cowboys 61
00:14:07yards and he kept the ball seven
00:14:10and he's got the ball seven
00:14:11yards and he's got the ball
00:14:12seven yards.
00:14:16Now we're going to see number
00:14:17twenty nine there.
00:14:18Kenneth Gant he's he's one of
00:14:20the top cover guys in the
00:14:22National Football League.
00:14:23But before he covers he goes
00:14:26through a little deal.
00:14:27He's going to walk back here and
00:14:28get the fans excited.
00:14:31You get the other cover guys
00:14:32they're just regular cover guys
00:14:34and see that Gant's getting
00:14:35started now.
00:14:37CNN he'll walk back there and
00:14:39get himself started to make it
00:14:58hard to get away.
00:15:00Not make it the Cowboy defense
00:15:08and the number four man up front
00:15:09Haley Maryland Casillas and
00:15:11Tolbert the Giants they do a lot
00:15:13of changing Darren Smith Ken
00:15:15Norton while he can and Nixon
00:15:17Edwards Norman has that
00:15:19separated bicep muscle to about
00:15:33the 30 stop by Norton.
00:15:37That's an interesting thing the
00:15:39Cowboys used a new defense on
00:15:41that when they put Charles Haley
00:15:42on the strong side then they put
00:15:44a linebacker on the tight end
00:15:46inside so they doubled up on
00:15:48crossover and then on that side
00:15:50expecting the strong side run
00:15:52and the Giants on the first play
00:15:55came back away from that.
00:15:57This now is their normal
00:15:58defensive setup with Haley on
00:16:01the outside hit first by Darren
00:16:12Smith Charles Haley with the
00:16:17assist.
00:16:18One thing about Tillman he's a
00:16:20he's a slasher.
00:16:21He is going to get into and out
00:16:23of the hole quickly.
00:16:25I mean he gets there and that
00:16:26hand off and he sees something
00:16:28he's going to put his head down
00:16:29and run right through it.
00:16:31He's not a shaker he's not
00:16:32moving and going back and forth.
00:16:34He's a slasher.
00:16:35That's the word all the coaches
00:16:37and all the opponents used to
00:16:39describe it.
00:16:40Slasher Darren Smith wasn't
00:16:56blocked and he came flying in
00:16:58that backfield.
00:16:59He's going to take off and he's
00:17:00just running a little delay up
00:17:02the middle.
00:17:03And there comes Darren Smith.
00:17:04He blitzes in the hole that
00:17:06Megan was trying to run into and
00:17:08no one blocked him.
00:17:10Landed a back to back standing
00:17:12at about his own twenty one
00:17:29thirty one 5 0 6 left to play in
00:17:45the first quarter in Texas
00:17:46Stadium.
00:17:47Three nothing Cowboy 5 0 6 left
00:17:59to play in the ring of honor.
00:18:02Cowboy players the outstanding
00:18:04players of the past some of them
00:18:06at least inducted into the ring
00:18:09of honor and at the half today
00:18:13the former coach Tom Landry will
00:18:15be put into that ring of honor.
00:18:18Quite an emotional week.
00:18:22Dan Reed said for work for Tom
00:18:24Landry there'd be no ring of
00:18:26honor.
00:18:29And that's what he's going to do
00:18:30in the second half.
00:18:32Stopped by Carlin Bailey the 35
00:18:35of you before Ray Miller.
00:18:38And those are the two guys again
00:18:39the the linebackers we talked
00:18:41about this this defensive line
00:18:43they're up there they're trying
00:18:45to take the blocking
00:18:46combinations on keep those line
00:18:49men off those linebackers.
00:18:50And if you do that the line
00:18:52backers then have to make the
00:18:54tackle and then they can use
00:18:56that loose umbrella that loose
00:18:58umbrella to get the ball back to
00:19:00the plate.
00:19:00And that's the way they get man
00:19:02to man.
00:19:03The Giants usually play zone
00:19:05defense.
00:19:06That time they were man to man
00:19:08because they had a blitz and
00:19:09you're going to see here's
00:19:10Michael Irvin here he's going
00:19:11against Collins.
00:19:12He just runs his pattern up here
00:19:14you see because of the blitz you
00:19:16see the blitz inside.
00:19:17Now that makes him play man to
00:19:19man.
00:19:20Michael Irvin is going to be
00:19:21the man to man.
00:19:23He's going to be the man to man
00:19:24and he's going to be the man to
00:19:25man.
00:19:25He's going to be the man to man
00:19:26and he's going to be the man to
00:19:27man.
00:19:27He's going to be the man to man
00:19:28and he's going to be the man to
00:19:29man.
00:19:30Michael Irvin just runs it out.
00:19:32He just runs Collins deep
00:19:33Collins was playing like a post
00:19:35for a deeper pattern and then
00:19:37Michael Irvin just cut it out.
00:19:39Sixteen yard game for Dallas.
00:19:42They move into giant territory.
00:19:53About the 41 stopped by
00:19:55Hamilton.
00:19:56What they're talking about is
00:19:57how they're going to get their
00:19:59running game going.
00:19:59In fact there's Megan.
00:20:00They wonder where that blitz
00:20:02came from on that third down
00:20:04play.
00:20:05The Giants are going to have any
00:20:07chance today.
00:20:08They have to have ball control.
00:20:11They have to win the battle of
00:20:13possession and they have to keep
00:20:15the Dallas offense off the
00:20:16field.
00:20:17They haven't been able to do any
00:20:18of those things so far.
00:20:20Emmett Smith already with nine
00:20:21innings to Harper from Aikman
00:20:26stopped by Guyton.
00:20:28Boy Aikman is throwing it about
00:20:30as well as you can throw it.
00:20:32Yeah he's so accurate right
00:20:33here he can throw right into
00:20:34coverage.
00:20:35You watch Perry Williams is
00:20:37there.
00:20:37That double zone and all Harper
00:20:39does is just get inside of
00:20:41Williams a little and he has to
00:20:43hit him between Perry Williams a
00:20:45corner and Greg Jackson to
00:20:47safety.
00:20:48And he put it in there
00:20:49perfectly.
00:20:50I mean Troy Aikman right now is
00:20:52the most accurate passer in the
00:20:53National Football League.
00:20:55He hasn't missed today seven of
00:20:56seven.
00:20:57This is Emmett Smith down as he
00:21:00tried to take it to the outside
00:21:01by Cannabis McGee I think about
00:21:06the Giants the way they play if
00:21:07you can just look here you see
00:21:08they have these linemen in here
00:21:10so they want to stop the inside
00:21:12running and make Smith take it
00:21:14or bounce it to the outside.
00:21:17And that's what they're doing
00:21:18and that's what they've been
00:21:18able to see how tough they are
00:21:20and how they've been able to
00:21:21keep the inside.
00:21:22You see everyone takes the
00:21:24inside and they make him bounce
00:21:26it to the outside and that's
00:21:27what they want to do.
00:21:28Michael Brooks took the inside
00:21:30didn't let him have a cutback
00:21:32didn't let him have an inside
00:21:33hole bounce them out again the
00:21:43perfect throw from 28 yards away
00:21:50and that's what they've been
00:21:51able to do.
00:21:51They've been able to get to the
00:21:52outside and they've been able to
00:21:54get to their wide receivers.
00:21:57Anytime they catch him in
00:21:58anything except that double zone
00:22:00they want to get to their wide
00:22:01receivers.
00:22:04They beat Mark Collins on and
00:22:05out when he played the post and
00:22:07that time they beat him on a
00:22:09post when he played something
00:22:11else.
00:22:12Aikman is eight out of eight
00:22:15and has shown us how you play
00:22:16quarterback in the National
00:22:18Football League.
00:22:19If you want to win back to back
00:22:20Super Bowl Murray for the extra
00:22:23point two minutes five seconds
00:22:32left to play in the first
00:22:33quarter.
00:22:34Cowboys lead it 10 nothing.
00:22:36Cowboys again going through his
00:22:41little cheerleading procedure
00:22:45excite himself and the crowd and
00:22:46the rest of the coverage team.
00:22:49Michael Irvin was saying that
00:22:50you know he is really feeling
00:22:52his oats now.
00:22:53Michael Irvin said you have a
00:22:54say and don't rock the boat
00:22:56until you make sure you're on it.
00:22:58He said get those on the boat.
00:22:59Now he's sure that rock in it.
00:23:02Murray's kick.
00:23:03Handled by Megan at the Vander
00:23:12beat down to make the stop and
00:23:15then make it return.
00:23:17Yeah that's the thing that the
00:23:18Cowboys have is they have real
00:23:21good cover guys.
00:23:23They have Bill Bates and they
00:23:24have Kenny Gantz here now.
00:23:25Gantz is the guy that we talked
00:23:27about to go through all the
00:23:28things that you're going to go
00:23:29through all the things that
00:23:30you're going to go through.
00:23:30Once that ball's kicked you
00:23:32better run down there and take
00:23:34on blocks and not pull up and
00:23:35just keep going.
00:24:00He's going to be able to make a
00:24:01secondary outside the 40 to
00:24:04about the 43.
00:24:10I think with the Giants have to
00:24:11do now and they start off here
00:24:12with just a screen pass against
00:24:15Sims is going to come back.
00:24:16Let Tillman fake like he's
00:24:18blocking.
00:24:18He takes a block on there.
00:24:20But the screen the line get out
00:24:22in front of good block there by
00:24:23crash and just get something
00:24:25going.
00:24:26Just think now let's get some
00:24:28frame shots didn't start off
00:24:32very well.
00:24:33I did start a little juggling
00:24:36first down giant at their own 42
00:24:48back field at midfield.
00:24:51The reason that one to tell me
00:24:52that didn't look too good is
00:24:53Gillman doesn't have a lot of
00:24:55experience catching a football.
00:24:57He's a runner if they're going
00:24:58to pass they usually put in
00:25:00Dave Megan.
00:25:01In fact that was the first
00:25:02reception that Tillman has had
00:25:05this year.
00:25:06It's a little screen pass.
00:25:07He kind of bobbled it once he
00:25:10went once he caught it he could
00:25:11run with it.
00:25:27He's a runner and a free game
00:25:36show we see in Ken Norton and we
00:25:38know that last week he tore his
00:25:40bicep.
00:25:41And there's a question whether
00:25:43he was going to be able to play
00:25:44or not.
00:25:44But that was a good read right
00:25:46there.
00:25:47He just read that thing and then
00:25:49he found that gap.
00:25:49That was his gap.
00:25:51It was almost like a blitz
00:25:52getting in that hole.
00:25:55That's the end of the first
00:25:56quarter beginning in the second
00:26:06quarter.
00:26:07The Cowboys lead the Giants 10
00:26:09nothing third and about four.
00:26:14If you look at those first half
00:26:15statistics they want to control
00:26:16the clock.
00:26:27Cowboys showing blitz McCaffrey
00:26:35flag on the play.
00:26:40Jimmy Jones might have jumped
00:26:42off sides early.
00:26:45Then there's another flag
00:26:46downfield.
00:26:48Of course that was the nickel
00:26:50defense of the Cowboys.
00:26:52The Giants had their three wide
00:26:54receivers in their red blitz so
00:26:56they were trying to just get
00:26:58that quick up out there.
00:27:03Jimmy Jones is one of the past
00:27:05rushing inside guys for the
00:27:07Cowboys and it didn't look like
00:27:09he'd jump and there was another
00:27:11flag downfield.
00:27:14Dick Hantag is the referee.
00:27:20Bill Sims is still full of
00:27:21enthusiasm.
00:27:28Well I think I think they have a
00:27:29pass interference.
00:27:30I think so.
00:27:31There's a one that they'll
00:27:32probably take because that's
00:27:33going to help any any penalty
00:27:35would give the Giants a first
00:27:37down here.
00:27:40That's probably what Bill Sims
00:27:41is talking Dick Hantag about
00:27:43right now.
00:27:43We'll take the longest one.
00:27:44Yeah of course if it were
00:27:45interference if it's interference
00:27:47then it's going to be a real
00:27:48long one.
00:27:50If it's just pushing or hitting
00:27:51the ball.
00:27:52It's going to be a long one.
00:27:53We have no fouls on the defense
00:27:56offside defense number 94.
00:27:59Kelly is declined pass
00:28:01interference defense number 26.
00:28:04Kelly is accepted first down
00:28:06from the far long penalty is
00:28:09against Kevin Smith.
00:28:12Haley was the man they named as
00:28:13jumping off sides.
00:28:14I don't think it was Haley I
00:28:17think it was Jimmy Jones.
00:28:19I think Jimmy Jones jumped in
00:28:21and took anyway with the one on
00:28:23Kevin Smith right inside the
00:28:38Dallas twenty five about the
00:28:39twenty three.
00:28:40That's one thing that you can do
00:28:42against this Dallas Cowboy
00:28:43defense.
00:28:44You're talking to Jimmy Johnson
00:28:46he said the the matchup that we
00:28:49really have is is this one our
00:28:52defense against their offense.
00:28:54Now watch this hole out.
00:28:55You see you just stretch it
00:28:57stretch it stretch it.
00:28:58And the minute you see daylight
00:28:59now that is daylight.
00:29:01Anyone who runs that you see
00:29:03remember old Mr. Barton run the
00:29:04daylight.
00:29:05That's a big old daylight.
00:29:07Not much daylight on the next
00:29:09play however but a flag on the
00:29:10play.
00:29:11Welcome to Maryland and that
00:29:12would be the defense in charge
00:29:14of black Boston.
00:29:16That was one of those that came
00:29:18from that deep official that is
00:29:19usually against the tight end
00:29:21one way or another either the
00:29:23tight end face mask defense five
00:29:26yards repeat the down first
00:29:28down or someone against the
00:29:30tight end.
00:29:31Jimmy Johnson hates this.
00:29:32I mean Jimmy Johnson is a neat
00:29:34freak and he likes his players
00:29:37to play perfectly and he doesn't
00:29:39want any penalties.
00:29:41He doesn't want any turnover.
00:29:44These two things in a row or
00:29:45three penalties really in a row
00:29:47are driving him crazy right now.
00:29:49Guaranteed good play by Darren
00:30:14Smith got his hand up and knock
00:30:17down a little too much air under
00:30:20that one because as you said he
00:30:22had Megan but one thing about
00:30:24Darren Smith he's a he's a
00:30:26rookie but he's a rookie that
00:30:27can really run the Cowboys love
00:30:30speed and this is where speed
00:30:32helps our defense see that ball
00:30:34is thrown up.
00:30:35It has a little too much air
00:30:36under it.
00:30:37In other words he kind of lobbed
00:30:38the ball in there and he let
00:30:40Darren Smith catch up to it.
00:30:42He had time to get their second
00:30:44and two having a lot of success
00:30:59and they were having a lot of
00:31:00success running to their left
00:31:02side in there behind Jumbo
00:31:03Elliott.
00:31:05The Giants have a good offensive
00:31:07line and up their offensive
00:31:08lineman number 76 here Jumbo
00:31:11Elliott is the best Mark Jackson
00:31:36knocked out of bounds.
00:31:37He's got to be enough to make it
00:31:38first and goal.
00:31:41I like that.
00:31:43I like that call here.
00:31:44It's kind of third short
00:31:45instead of going to two tight
00:31:47ends they go to three wide
00:31:48receivers.
00:31:49They spread the defense out.
00:31:51They just get man to man out
00:31:53there and Jackson and boom he
00:31:55just hit Mark Jackson out there.
00:31:57I was on Kenny Gantz.
00:31:58I made the made him on short
00:32:00yardage and made the Cowboys
00:32:01play nickel by spreading them
00:32:03out.
00:32:04That's not a bad move.
00:32:06So it's first and goal at about
00:32:08the seven and a half.
00:32:23By Ken Norton Russell Maryland
00:32:25was the guy who made the play
00:32:26again when you're going to run
00:32:28anywhere you have to stop
00:32:29penetration or if you're on
00:32:31defense.
00:32:32The first thing you have to do
00:32:34is you have to get penetration
00:32:36and watch Russell Maryland here.
00:32:38He's going to get penetration
00:32:40and that's the thing you see
00:32:41they start the block right now
00:32:43he go right there he gets the
00:32:44penetration he did a lot of
00:32:46things up before he got that
00:32:47same day and he really played
00:32:48that block.
00:32:49Well he's manhandling the block
00:32:51second and goal at the seven
00:32:53seems to throw it had to wait a
00:33:01minute.
00:33:01It's Jackson got both feet down
00:33:04in the corner of the end zone
00:33:06flag on the play.
00:33:07However we're talking about
00:33:09Troy Aikman getting the ball in
00:33:11a tight place.
00:33:12I'll tell you Phil Sims did too.
00:33:15Watch this ball.
00:33:16It looked like it took off a
00:33:17little on him but there's not a
00:33:19lot of room out there.
00:33:20And that's a perfect pass to
00:33:22Mark Jackson.
00:33:23Although there's a penalty and
00:33:24it's going to come back.
00:33:25It was still a great path.
00:33:26Only holding offense number 61
00:33:30to the left of the plate.
00:33:31That's a good job.
00:33:32That's a good job.
00:33:32That's a good job.
00:33:33Ten yard penalty.
00:33:35Repeat the down second down
00:33:38holding call against Bob Trench
00:33:59Simms back again.
00:34:02The time has completed McCaffrey
00:34:06bounced around all tacklers
00:34:09finally taken down by again.
00:34:11What about the five yard line.
00:34:13Yeah I thought those passes to
00:34:14the outside took off a little on
00:34:16Sam.
00:34:17I thought that one touchdown
00:34:18they heard of Mark Jackson and
00:34:20that one he threw in the end
00:34:21zone to make it.
00:34:22I'll tell you about one there.
00:34:24He's just that ball in the
00:34:25McCaffrey there.
00:34:26That was a heck of a throw.
00:34:29That's just what I mean.
00:34:30This one is a line drive.
00:34:32I mean he threw a rope there.
00:34:59And they'll have to settle for a
00:35:01field goal.
00:35:03You make it in the backfield.
00:35:04Now any time it's third down and
00:35:06less than five yards the
00:35:08defenses are going to play make
00:35:10it.
00:35:11You see right there.
00:35:11Kenny Norton was just waiting.
00:35:13He was just waiting waiting and
00:35:15then behind him he had Thomas
00:35:17Everett so they double and make
00:35:19it on that play and I think most
00:35:21teams will do that against the
00:35:22Giants.
00:35:23That's a passing down.
00:35:24Less than five.
00:35:25David Treadwell 21 yards away.
00:35:30It's the field goal 11 0 7 left
00:35:33to play in the first half.
00:35:35Cowboys 10 Giants 3 this game
00:35:41summary is sponsored by Budweiser
00:35:46Rodney Hampton inactive today
00:35:47Aikman is eight out of eight for
00:35:49Dallas Smith 10 carats and
00:35:51Both teams trying to run the
00:35:54ball and use as much of the
00:35:56clock as they can.
00:35:58I thought the Giants on that
00:35:59last drive through the ball well
00:36:01that pass was really a heck of a
00:36:04throw as was the touchdown pass
00:36:07to Mark Jackson was called back
00:36:09because the holding on Bob
00:36:10Kratz
00:36:11He was a heck of a throw as was
00:36:13the touchdown pass to Mark
00:36:15Jackson who was called back
00:36:17because the holding on Bob
00:36:18Cratchy.
00:36:19Here he goes.
00:36:21I can't.
00:36:23Kevin William.
00:36:24At the one.
00:36:26Room.
00:36:31We so finally got him on the
00:36:33balance at midfield.
00:36:36They've been waiting for that.
00:36:40Here's the touchdown play.
00:36:41Now the guy that they call is
00:36:43Bob Cratch there for holding.
00:36:45It's going to be a touchdown
00:36:47pass.
00:36:48It was called back.
00:36:49Cratch is blocking against
00:36:50Casillas.
00:36:51And it's where he got his hand
00:36:53out there.
00:36:54I guess what they have to call
00:36:55then.
00:36:56Then he grabs him with that
00:36:57right hand.
00:36:58So.
00:36:59And he fell right in front of
00:37:00Sam.
00:37:01So I think they had a couple of
00:37:02things they probably could have
00:37:04called on Bob Cratchy.
00:37:05And they did.
00:37:06First attend the ball at
00:37:07midfield.
00:37:35He's got the ball.
00:38:03We've seen some great
00:38:04quarterbacks and some great
00:38:05midfielders.
00:38:06But what the Giants could do now
00:38:08is throw a bucket of ice on
00:38:10Aikman because he is hot.
00:38:21Alvin Harper is going to just
00:38:22run right by number forty seven
00:38:25Greg Jackson.
00:38:27They play that double coverage
00:38:28of safety has to take him.
00:38:31Now we're going to see Alvin
00:38:33Harper right here.
00:38:34The Giants play a double zone.
00:38:36We're going to get a rotation by
00:38:38Perry Williams and then Jackson
00:38:40coming deep.
00:38:41Harper gets by the ball and then
00:38:43just runs right by Jackson.
00:38:47See the bump here.
00:38:48I want to say he just has too
00:38:49much speed.
00:38:50He just runs right by Greg
00:38:51Jackson.
00:38:52And it's a perfect throw by
00:38:53trade.
00:39:08Let's go back to that
00:39:09touchdown again.
00:39:10There are more reasons than one.
00:39:11Well and I'll tell you what the
00:39:13reasons are is right here this
00:39:15front group of the pass
00:39:16protection because to be able to
00:39:18throw deep like that.
00:39:19When the guy does get bumped you
00:39:20have to have time.
00:39:21What's your time.
00:39:22Aikman has pump pump and then be
00:39:24able to stand and throw the ball
00:39:26like that.
00:39:27That's excellent pass protection
00:39:29and that's where it all starts.
00:39:33I'll tell you this day that
00:39:34Aikman is has a just a man but
00:39:36he's not just throwing little
00:39:37short dinky passes.
00:39:38I mean he's he's throwing some
00:39:40bombs in there too.
00:39:42He's throwing it very straight
00:39:47punch over the left side.
00:39:49We get stopped by Dixon Edwards
00:39:51first time I came to see it.
00:39:55Hey you watch it.
00:39:56You see you see there's there's
00:39:58Casillas here.
00:39:59He's going to he's going to take
00:40:00on Williams the center because
00:40:02they play over and under.
00:40:03He plays a little thing in the
00:40:05middle of the field.
00:40:06He's going to take on Williams
00:40:08because they play over and under
00:40:09and he plays a little thing in
00:40:11the minute that he feels that
00:40:13double team he turns his back
00:40:15and you turn your back on the
00:40:16double team and then a lot of
00:40:18times when they slip block that
00:40:20will push you right into the
00:40:21runner as it did that time.
00:40:23Second at five the door shut
00:40:34very quickly led by Ken Norton.
00:40:37This is a thing that these ball
00:40:39control teams really have
00:40:41trouble with is getting down 17
00:40:43to three and that was the point
00:40:45I was making earlier is that you
00:40:47can run you can have a good line
00:40:49but at some point when you play
00:40:51the Cowboys because they're so
00:40:53explosive they have so many
00:40:55weapons their quarterback is so
00:40:57hot you have to you have to be
00:41:00careful when you get behind as
00:41:02you say like this.
00:41:25I don't know why he just didn't
00:41:26keep running straight.
00:41:27I don't know either.
00:41:28Kevin Smith was coming across the
00:41:30Callaway just ran right into him
00:41:32doesn't look like he had a
00:41:33touchdown.
00:41:34If you just watch this he's out
00:41:35here to the right of the screen
00:41:37Sims drops back.
00:41:38He kind of throws the ball side
00:41:40arm gets it here.
00:41:41Now look I'm just run straight
00:41:42ahead.
00:41:43Just keep coming this way.
00:41:44Keep coming here.
00:41:45Here here.
00:41:46Just keep that seat turns back
00:41:47right into the guy.
00:41:49That's unbelievable.
00:41:51A lot of looking.
00:41:53I don't know.
00:41:54I don't know.
00:41:55You're mean.
00:41:56You're part of it.
00:41:57You see what you saw.
00:41:59You can look at the ends of
00:42:01filming you just smell it and go
00:42:02to it.
00:42:03Forty seven yard pickup they
00:42:10try to go in a hurry too big of
00:42:15a hurry.
00:42:18And they try to go in a hurry
00:42:19with a with a trick play and it
00:42:21didn't work.
00:42:24They were trying to get the ball
00:42:25away from you see hands it to
00:42:29Tillman now Gilman tries to take
00:42:31it up as far as he can and then
00:42:33throw it back when he throws it
00:42:35back he throws it back in an
00:42:37errant way now Sims has the ball
00:42:41the plays over and you see Tony
00:42:44to see is trying to take it away
00:42:46from him.
00:42:46Yeah that's what she was
00:42:48laughing about not to play.
00:42:50I don't know if he's laughing or
00:42:51grimacing.
00:42:51Well you know how you kind of do
00:42:52it kind of a nervous way.
00:42:53You really don't mean you look
00:43:10at Jeff go and he doesn't start
00:43:13any more late 11 years in this
00:43:15league but he's sure hustled on
00:43:17that play.
00:43:19I mean they got a good block to
00:43:21the outside.
00:43:22They made make it cut back and
00:43:24there was Jeff go to end game.
00:43:27Whenever you see a defensive
00:43:28lineman down field making a
00:43:31tackle on a screen on a cutback.
00:43:33That means the guy's hustling
00:43:35third and twenty five gets him
00:43:51back in field goal range at
00:43:52least he's going to have to take
00:44:02some shots and he always has
00:44:04trick plays in his bag and
00:44:06sometimes they work.
00:44:07Remember we did the Washington
00:44:08Redskins game and every
00:44:10everything that he did work.
00:44:12That time it didn't work.
00:44:14The bag wasn't quite big enough.
00:44:16Flag on the play the field goal
00:44:18is good but there's a penalty
00:44:20marker down 45 yards away like
00:44:38fish back might have rolled into
00:44:39the kicker.
00:44:40Well it could be a five yard
00:44:42penalty or it could be a 15 yard
00:44:44I think a 15 yard penalty would
00:44:46give him a first down then they
00:44:48would have to take the points
00:44:49off the board going to be
00:44:54against Dallas.
00:44:54Yeah.
00:44:55So is it going to be a five yard
00:44:57against him or a 15 yard.
00:44:59Now if it's a 15 and a first
00:45:00down do you take the points off
00:45:02maybe just outside line up in
00:45:04the neutral zone.
00:45:05Fifty eight and forty three.
00:45:07The penalty is declined.
00:45:09The field goal is good.
00:45:10That was a no brainer.
00:45:11You had to do it.
00:45:12So the points stay on the board
00:45:14as Cowboys 17 giant six back at
00:45:19Texas Stadium.
00:45:21Cowboys 17 the Giants six Pat
00:45:23Somerville with John Madden Troy
00:45:27Aikman his last five games his
00:45:30first 10 passes.
00:45:32You know he had an area there.
00:45:34He didn't do well last week.
00:45:36He's got a lot of ground.
00:45:36He's got a lot of ground.
00:45:37He's got a lot of ground.
00:45:38He's got a lot of ground.
00:45:39He's got a lot of ground.
00:45:39He's got a lot of ground.
00:45:40He's got a lot of ground.
00:45:41He's got a lot of ground.
00:45:42He's got a lot of ground.
00:45:42He's got a lot of ground.
00:45:44He's got a lot of ground.
00:45:45He's got a lot of ground.
00:45:46He's got a lot of ground.
00:45:46He's got a lot of ground.
00:45:47Last week because it was raining
00:45:49in Philadelphia.
00:45:50Forty nine or seven for 10 but
00:45:52those other three games he was
00:45:53nine out of 10 and today of
00:45:55course he started with nine out
00:45:57of nine and it's going to be
00:46:00Williams two yards deep in the
00:46:02end zone and this one is going
00:46:07to be no it's not.
00:46:10He's a guy that had to play and
00:46:12got caught it could have been a
00:46:13touchdown and then on that play
00:46:15he had a tackle and he just kind
00:46:17of came up with air on that one.
00:46:21It was an ugly looking run and
00:46:22an ugly looking tackle.
00:46:2647 yard return.
00:46:31First down.
00:46:33Cowboys at their own 43.
00:46:39Harper is left.
00:46:41Irvin is right.
00:46:42That's still the check in motion.
00:46:47Nudges it up past the 45.
00:46:53Dallas started their own 22.
00:46:56Got a field goal on 32.
00:46:57Got a touchdown midfield.
00:46:59Took them one play.
00:47:00They got another touch.
00:47:02You know they've done that
00:47:03without Lawrence Taylor playing
00:47:05on defense.
00:47:06He just came in.
00:47:07This is the first play that
00:47:08Taylor's been in there.
00:47:09They've been waiting to put him
00:47:10in I think on that third and
00:47:11long and their defense couldn't
00:47:13get him in the third and long.
00:47:15So this is a second down a
00:47:17second and long situation.
00:47:29Let's watch Lawrence Taylor.
00:47:31He's going to get to mark two
00:47:32and a mark two and a big strong
00:47:35tackle and Taylor you know has
00:47:37that bad hamstring.
00:47:38So he's just trying to make a
00:47:40quick move and two and a just
00:47:42lets him go and just pushes him
00:47:44right by Lawrence Taylor.
00:47:46I think that hamstring has just
00:47:48been driving him crazy.
00:47:49You know he's tried all the
00:47:50regular treatments.
00:47:52Last week they played the Jets
00:47:54and after the game Ronnie Lott
00:47:55says why don't you try
00:47:56acupuncture.
00:47:57So he's tried acupuncture a
00:47:59couple of times this week.
00:48:00Says it feels looser than it
00:48:03has in a number of weeks.
00:48:04Third and five.
00:48:08Finally missed one.
00:48:09But there's a flag on the play
00:48:11intended for Novichok.
00:48:13You don't think Dan Reeves is
00:48:15excited.
00:48:16Dan Reeves thought that all the
00:48:17way and he doesn't want it on
00:48:21his guy.
00:48:22He says the offense can push off
00:48:24too.
00:48:32We're seeing more and more of
00:48:33that and I think they do get
00:48:34away with it more and more as
00:48:35the offensive receivers pushing
00:48:37off the defensive back.
00:48:40Although this I think is going
00:48:41to go against the Giants.
00:48:44There's no foul on the play as
00:48:47the ball had been tipped.
00:48:53That's what Dan Reeves was
00:48:54saying that you can't have a
00:48:56penalty if the ball is tipped
00:48:58after it's tipped you can once
00:49:00once the ball is tipped and
00:49:02then it's a free ball then you
00:49:03can go for it.
00:49:04You can fight for it.
00:49:05You can do anything for the
00:49:07ball.
00:49:08Corey Miller tipped it right at
00:49:10the line.
00:49:13The Giants will take over at
00:49:33their own twenty seventeen six
00:49:37what first down Giants at their
00:49:42own 20.
00:49:43I think if one big man's out I
00:49:46don't think you'd go with the
00:49:47other big man.
00:49:48I think you'd go with Sean
00:49:49Salford before you go with Ed
00:49:51McMahon until he gets a better
00:49:54helmet for a better passing
00:49:57motion.
00:50:04Out to Chris Calloway talking
00:50:09about how well a couple of those
00:50:13took off early but the last few
00:50:15have been right on the money.
00:50:16He's going to have to throw the
00:50:17ball because you know the the
00:50:20running game isn't doing in fact
00:50:21the Giants lead the NFL in
00:50:23rushing with one hundred and
00:50:24fifty eight yards per game.
00:50:27Today they only have thirty one
00:50:29yards and part of that is
00:50:31because the Cowboys have had to
00:50:32ball so much.
00:50:33Another part of it is the score
00:50:3517 to six in favor of the
00:50:37Cowboys.
00:50:38So those things keep changing
00:50:39during the game.
00:50:52Charles you know the guy that's
00:50:53always in there.
00:50:54Watch this guy right here.
00:50:55Charles Haley just seems like
00:50:57whatever he does whether it's a
00:50:59run or pass he just kind of
00:51:01raises havoc.
00:51:02I mean he takes on a block.
00:51:04He's all he always knows where
00:51:06his blocker is and he always
00:51:08knows where the ball carrier
00:51:09quarterback is and he can always
00:51:11play the one against the other
00:51:13and he uses leverage better than
00:51:17he did in the first half.
00:51:18He's going to get it again.
00:51:20Close to a first down should
00:51:23have it.
00:51:24Larry Brown the defender but
00:51:27again the pass right on the
00:51:29money.
00:51:31Watch Charles Haley.
00:51:32Now he's playing on the other
00:51:33side.
00:51:34And again you talk about
00:51:35leverage.
00:51:36Leverage is getting your
00:51:37shoulder pads underneath the guy
00:51:39and lifting him up.
00:51:40Now we're talking about the
00:51:42guy up like that.
00:51:43That takes all his power out and
00:51:45it gives you the power
00:51:47advantage.
00:51:48And Haley like I said does that
00:51:50as well as anyone but if the
00:52:08Giants had a little speed and
00:52:10their wide receivers they could
00:52:11really do some business today
00:52:13because Callaway really was open
00:52:15him.
00:52:16I mean I mean I mean he beat the
00:52:17double coverage.
00:52:18I mean I mean I mean he beat the
00:52:20double coverage and that's what
00:52:21Sims is telling me just keep
00:52:22going.
00:52:23And he was trying to lead him
00:52:24because he could have led him
00:52:26right through that coverage.
00:52:32Like some sort of a penalty.
00:52:35Against Dallas.
00:52:42I still never did hear it it's
00:52:43against Larry Brown.
00:52:45Yeah.
00:52:45It had to be defensive holding
00:52:47it was five yards so it had to
00:52:48be that he was a guy that hit
00:52:50Calloway after he went five
00:52:53yards.
00:52:54So it's a first down in any
00:52:56case.
00:52:57They're on 48.
00:52:58And those penalties for driving
00:53:00Jimmy Johnson crazy.
00:53:01I mean he liked he liked 17 to
00:53:03six but he doesn't like the
00:53:05number of penalties this cowboy
00:53:06team has had today.
00:53:18I mean he did well to make it
00:53:21back to the line of scrimmage if
00:53:22he did.
00:53:23Jimmy Jones the Cowboys are a
00:53:27tough team to run a draw on
00:53:28because they're so fast.
00:53:30If you look at those defensive
00:53:31guys in the defensive line and
00:53:34the linebackers they aren't big
00:53:37guys.
00:53:38They aren't real big but they're
00:53:40they're very very quick so they
00:53:42can start on a pass rush and
00:53:43react to a draw.
00:53:45And they're all good tacklers
00:53:47and they've been doing that for
00:53:48a long time.
00:53:49So the last couple of weeks
00:53:51Jimmy Johnson they haven't been
00:53:52tackling well.
00:53:53Second at 11 I think that first
00:54:09guy in there was Darren Smith.
00:54:12He was the first guy there and
00:54:13he just he just missed the
00:54:15thing you always want to do when
00:54:17you're a quarterback is you
00:54:18always want to run through a
00:54:20quarterback.
00:54:21Now watch him.
00:54:22He's up here.
00:54:23Now when you you don't want to
00:54:24jump you never want to leave
00:54:26leave your feet.
00:54:26He really has a free shot there
00:54:29and William Roberts just knocked
00:54:31him off a little.
00:54:33We always want to keep your feet
00:54:34and run right through him like
00:54:36Ken Norton to the end of the
00:54:37game.
00:54:53But the Giants will have to put
00:54:55again the Sims under hard
00:54:56pressure.
00:54:57Yeah.
00:54:58Almost almost got an
00:54:59interception.
00:55:00We'll watch Haley here.
00:55:01Ninety four.
00:55:02He's a guy who hit Sims just as
00:55:04he threw the ball.
00:55:05That's a stunning Haley starts
00:55:07with the right hand.
00:55:08He's got the right hand.
00:55:09He really does.
00:55:10Yeah.
00:55:11How he raises have it.
00:55:12He's always in there grabbing
00:55:14something.
00:55:14His left hand grabbed Phil Simpson
00:55:17right arm just as he was throwing
00:55:19the ball.
00:55:35Not much of a signal but it was
00:55:36a good thing that he got that
00:55:38because he he had some things
00:55:39open.
00:55:40He thought he had Calloway open.
00:55:42He thought he probably had
00:55:43something when he didn't have
00:55:45have some time there.
00:55:47He's thinking of this.
00:55:48He hasn't been sacked although
00:55:50he's been hurried three times.
00:55:52He's been knocked down three
00:55:53times so far.
00:55:55That could make you punch the
00:55:56Gatorade ball.
00:56:01I think he threw one to Calloway
00:56:03there that he should have scored
00:56:04a touchdown on.
00:56:05He kept going on another one.
00:56:11He did have one that he threw to
00:56:13Mark Jackson in the end zone to
00:56:15his front back gets out to about
00:56:20the 19 two minutes left to play
00:56:24in the first half.
00:56:26The score in Texas Stadium is
00:56:28the Cowboys 17 the Giants 6.
00:56:35The Giants 7 last night here at
00:56:42Texas Stadium inside that tent
00:56:45was a reception in honor of
00:56:48coach Tom Landry there seen on
00:56:50the right that's Crawford Kerr
00:56:51with him.
00:56:52Jerry Jones and Dan Ray Don
00:56:55Meredith Bob Hayes.
00:56:57He gave me a man there is quite
00:57:01an affair honoring Tom Landry
00:57:04and it's a great honor here at
00:57:06halftime today and that's where
00:57:07his plaque his name it's nice to
00:57:25see Tom Landry go in this ring
00:57:27of honor and be here today.
00:57:29It's a first time since he was
00:57:32the Cowboys and Tom Landry has
00:57:34been here in the stadium.
00:57:36First game he's come to Keith
00:57:49Hamilton is the man who got the
00:57:52sack on Troy Aikman.
00:57:55Cowboys have one time out.
00:57:58That could be a big play going
00:58:00into halftime because Troy
00:58:01Aikman had really in his first
00:58:03half done everything he wanted
00:58:05to do this giant defense.
00:58:07Maybe this is the start of
00:58:08turning it around.
00:58:12I'm at a twenty one left to play
00:58:13in the first half one twenty one
00:58:19left to play in the first half
00:58:23as they prepared to get ready
00:58:26for the halftime ceremony.
00:58:28That was Bob Lilly in the first
00:58:30half of the second half.
00:58:31That was Bob Lilly in the first
00:58:32half of the second half.
00:58:35You talk about a defensive line
00:58:36but now there was a great role
00:58:38in the line to get to him.
00:58:44I'm a rafferty who was a long
00:58:45time New York center for the
00:58:49Cowboys.
00:58:49There's Bob Lilly.
00:58:52Bob Lilly is starting to wave
00:58:54before the parade starts.
00:58:55He's practicing his wave and
00:58:57shaking hands and stuff.
00:58:58He's got a great ring of honor.
00:59:00He made quite a speech last
00:59:01night.
00:59:03Why was he tough to block.
00:59:04You know you you think of pass
00:59:06rushers as being defensive ends
00:59:08and although four man line Bob
00:59:10Lilly was a defensive tackle.
00:59:14When you see that thanks Mr.
00:59:15Landry.
00:59:16Dan Raves says all those years
00:59:18he could not call him.
00:59:20He could not call him Tom Landry
00:59:24was saying back during the
00:59:26heyday of Bob Lilly he said
00:59:27there's a lot of outstanding
00:59:28players but there's only one
00:59:31Bob Lilly.
00:59:33I remember you know he was one
00:59:35of the first great pass rushers
00:59:37inside there was a tall guy.
00:59:39I mean the other defensive
00:59:40tacklers used to kind of be
00:59:41short guy.
00:59:42Yeah I believe the Giants will
00:59:53take a timeout stop by David
00:59:55Landry Dan Raves could not be
01:00:00part of the ceremonies here at
01:00:01the half today honoring Coach
01:00:02Landry but he did have some
01:00:04thoughts about his former
01:00:05coach.
01:00:07Well first of all coach I've got
01:00:09to thank CBS for giving me this
01:00:10opportunity.
01:00:11They know I'm going to be busy
01:00:12at halftime and won't be able to
01:00:14take part in the ceremony.
01:00:16I just want to say
01:00:17congratulations.
01:00:19It'll be nice to come into the
01:00:21Texas Stadium now every year and
01:00:23look up and see your name up
01:00:24there on the bronze.
01:00:26You meant so much to so many
01:00:27people.
01:00:28Nobody that you meant more to
01:00:29than me.
01:00:29I thank you for what you've done
01:00:31for me and from the bottom of my
01:00:32heart I just say I love you.
01:00:34Thank you Dan Reeves with his
01:00:38quarterback Phil Simms dance and
01:00:41organization coach Landry talk
01:00:43taught him preparation I guess
01:00:47you could just go down a long
01:00:48list and class.
01:00:51I think you know when you think
01:00:52about the Cowboys and Tom Landry
01:00:55and Dan Reeves and you just
01:00:57think the word class set back
01:01:03to bottom and Megan deep for the
01:01:06first time 53 yard putt by Jet
01:01:30could return by Megan.
01:01:32The Giants have made a couple of
01:01:33plays here at the end of the
01:01:34season and they've got a lot of
01:01:36momentum going into halftime.
01:01:37That was one we just saw there.
01:01:39But before that on defense when
01:01:41Keith Hamilton got a sack on
01:01:43Troy and they finally got some
01:01:45pressure there.
01:01:46They finally made something
01:01:48happen defensively in the
01:01:49passing game.
01:01:50Now if they can get a couple of
01:01:52plays here and get something
01:01:54going then they can go into this
01:01:55halftime feeling pretty good.
01:02:05Here's Sims the screen pass to
01:02:07Megan he got one block steps out
01:02:10of bounds at midfield.
01:02:19That's a great memory there.
01:02:20You always think of Texas
01:02:23Stadium and the hole in the roof
01:02:25and a man in a hat.
01:02:26Mr. Landry a lot of fans call
01:02:32him Mr. Landry and the heck of
01:02:59an effort by Tony Tolbert.
01:03:00Tony Tolbert came from the left
01:03:02side all the way around the
01:03:04horn like Phil Simms is trying
01:03:09to go out but watch Tolbert.
01:03:12He just goes around his blocker
01:03:14and he just keeps running.
01:03:16Sims had to take himself out.
01:03:17Ken Graham is coming in.
01:03:22Tolbert just put that arm up
01:03:24around.
01:03:25He just drove him into the turf
01:03:27and can't grab the ball.
01:03:29Graham with no time to warm up
01:03:36pressure from the Cowboys this
01:03:37time from Jeff Cole there.
01:03:39Don Merida looking on so much
01:03:42for momentum.
01:03:44I think the Cowboys felt that
01:03:45the Giants may have been getting
01:03:46some and they just took it away.
01:03:49First it was Tony Tolbert and
01:03:51then this play it's Jim Jeff go.
01:03:53They knocked Phil Sims out of
01:03:54the game.
01:03:55Can't get it.
01:03:56He's going to get it.
01:03:57He's going to get it.
01:03:58He knocked Phil Sims out of the
01:03:59game.
01:04:00Ken Graham comes in the game and
01:04:02Jeff says welcome to the game.
01:04:06This cowboy team sure came alive
01:04:09here on defense at the end of
01:04:10this half.
01:04:13Don Perkins led the team in
01:04:17rushing every year he was here I
01:04:19think.
01:04:21Landata comes on to the Giants
01:04:27that's probably the best deal
01:04:36they ever made.
01:04:38And Leroy Jordan's here I saw
01:04:40Leroy Jordan last night.
01:04:41I came over here to the stadium
01:04:43to watch the fight here on pay
01:04:47per view.
01:04:47I'll tell you we've got a lot of
01:04:49stuff going on here for the
01:04:51first place.
01:04:52We're talking about ring honor
01:04:53but that heavyweight championship
01:04:55fight last night was a great
01:04:57night that had its own ring of
01:04:59honor Williams retreats to about
01:05:11the sixty not much there this
01:05:17time.
01:05:26He's a thing about Tom Landry.
01:05:35He didn't change much.
01:05:37Here's the gentleman who
01:05:38succeeded him.
01:05:40They've had two head coaches in
01:05:42the history of this franchise.
01:05:44That one Jimmy Johnson the way
01:05:49this one is going.
01:05:51He's going to be in that ring on
01:05:53or something.
01:05:53He's going to be in the
01:05:55championship.
01:05:56He's done a heck of a job.
01:05:58He came in here and really did
01:06:01not have a heck of a lot going
01:06:02for him and built the
01:06:03championship team and right now
01:06:06they they still look like
01:06:07they're the best team in the
01:06:08NFL.
01:06:09The Dallas Cowboys look as if he
01:06:13is OK.
01:06:14He was stunned a bit.
01:06:16That's the end of the first half
01:06:18with the score.
01:06:19Dallas 17 back at Texas Stadium
01:06:31Pat Summer all with John Madden
01:06:34the Cowboys lead the Giants 17
01:06:36to six just about set to start
01:06:38the third quarter.
01:06:41He may have started more than
01:06:42the third quarter.
01:06:46It doesn't take a long time.
01:06:48Well they have a ceremony they
01:06:50inducted.
01:06:52Well the thing you have is a
01:06:53mascot there.
01:06:55I think they planned ahead.
01:06:57Oh there's the mask.
01:07:00There's the hat no mask.
01:07:05Murray's kick to make it.
01:07:09He will stay in the zone.
01:07:11Half time statistics.
01:07:14Oh pretty even.
