00:00:00The Eagles of course still alive
00:00:01in the playoff picture.
00:00:05If the Eagles were to lose today
00:00:07than the Cowboys could clinch the
00:00:09NFC.
00:00:13Boneo set to kick off.
00:00:17To Herschel Walker.
00:00:19And Thomas Lewis Lewis number
00:00:20eighty one.
00:00:22Both of them have a lot of speed.
00:00:31It will be Lewis at the ball.
00:00:36With room.
00:00:40Chased down and knocked out of
00:00:41bounds by Darren Woodson.
00:00:45Headed for the Pro Bowl as
00:00:46Woodson deservedly so Dave
00:00:48Brown.
00:00:50Quarterbacks the Giants.
00:00:53The offensive line in front of
00:00:55him Elliott Bishop Williams
00:00:56Lance Smith starting and Doug
00:00:58Riesenberg.
00:01:00And.
00:01:01Hampton the deep back Charles
00:01:02way the blocker Sherrod Callaway
00:01:04wide and Howard cross the tight
00:01:06end.
00:01:07Dave Brown.
00:01:10Five and 0 as a starter in
00:01:12December in his four year
00:01:13career.
00:01:14He did not have a good day.
00:01:16Last year.
00:01:17In this stadium.
00:01:19Fake to Hampton.
00:01:22Rolls.
00:01:27Of a giant receiver.
00:01:29And the Cowboys get a break on
00:01:30the first play from scrimmage.
00:01:43We'd welcome those of you
00:01:44watching Carolina Atlanta.
00:01:46This is the first play at Texas
00:01:47Stadium.
00:01:48And they started to try and.
00:01:50Fool the Cowboys start off with
00:01:52a bootleg pass.
00:01:54It did hold the linebackers but
00:01:55it didn't all Brock Marion.
00:01:57And this is what Dan Reeves said
00:01:58yesterday he hoped would not
00:02:00happen that the Cowboys got a
00:02:02break early and got a chance to
00:02:04break on top early.
00:02:05And Emmett Smith said yesterday
00:02:07he said you know in these last
00:02:08couple of games we haven't
00:02:09gotten any break.
00:02:10They got one there.
00:02:12Incomplete good coverage.
00:02:14Nova check but a flag down is on
00:02:16Michael Irvin beg your pardon.
00:02:28Word from veterans they had.
00:02:31Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia.
00:02:34Davis.
00:02:35Number 22 on the defense.
00:02:37First.
00:02:38Red cash and.
00:02:41The referee again back at
00:02:43Veterans Stadium.
00:02:45Davis the Arizona kicker was
00:02:47short.
00:02:48On a field goal attempt.
00:02:49From near midfield forty seven
00:02:51yards.
00:02:52So the Eagles have the ball
00:02:54leading by a point.
00:02:58And.
00:02:58The.
00:02:58Cowboys.
00:03:04Near the 40 stop by Brooks.
00:03:07Let's look at the Dallas
00:03:08offense number eight is Troy
00:03:10Aikman.
00:03:12And in front of him that massive
00:03:14offensive line to a Newton.
00:03:16Derek Kennard Larry Allen and
00:03:17Eric Williams.
00:03:20Emmett Smith and Darrell
00:03:21Johnston in the backfield Kevin
00:03:22Williams and Michael Irvin wide
00:03:24and J.
00:03:25Nova checks the tight end Nova
00:03:26check that there's some doubt
00:03:27about whether or not he'd be
00:03:28able to play and if he did how
00:03:30long he'd be able to play with a
00:03:31bad knee and a bad ankle.
00:03:33Leaping sparks of the Giants is
00:03:35going wherever Michael Irvin
00:03:37goes today.
00:03:39Check on the move and this is
00:03:40Emmett Smith around the corner.
00:03:46Randolph.
00:03:48Knocked him out of bounds let's
00:03:49look at the giant defensive unit.
00:03:52Jamal Dub.
00:03:53Agnew Hamilton and Harris.
00:03:56Duff instead of straight hand.
00:03:58Pro Brooks and Miller are the
00:04:00linebackers and the secondary.
00:04:03Sparks and Thomas Randolph the
00:04:07cornerbacks and Benzie Glenn and
00:04:08Jesse Campbell.
00:04:11The safety.
00:04:12And there goes Sparks as John
00:04:14Madden said with Michael Irvin.
00:04:17Sparks already has a penalty on
00:04:19him because he says he's going
00:04:20to be more physical than Irvin.
00:04:22Intended for Novak checked.
00:04:25Covered by Jesse Campbell and
00:04:27covered well.
00:04:28Felipe Sparks says he's really
00:04:29looking forward to playing
00:04:31against Michael Irvin because.
00:04:33All defensive backs like that.
00:04:34I mean you know I mean that's a
00:04:35challenge that's what they want.
00:04:37That's the kind of guy you have
00:04:39to be if you're going to be in a
00:04:40corner and.
00:04:41He said Michael Irvin is a
00:04:43physical guy but when he gets
00:04:44physical with me I'm going to
00:04:46be a physical guy.
00:04:47I'm going to be a physical guy.
00:04:48I'm going to be a physical guy.
00:04:49I'm going to be a physical guy.
00:04:50I'm going to be a physical guy.
00:04:51I'm going to be a physical guy.
00:04:52But when he gets physical with
00:04:53me I'm going to get more
00:04:55physical with him.
00:04:57And early in this game he got
00:04:58too physical with him because
00:04:59they called a penalty on him on
00:05:01the first play Dallas ran.
00:05:03It's second and 10 at the giant
00:05:0640.
00:05:07Aikman gives me a Smith.
00:05:11Has no room.
00:05:14Run out of bounds by Sparks and
00:05:16it wasn't Larry Allen's fault.
00:05:17Did you see him.
00:05:18He's so strong and so bad and so
00:05:20fast and and powerful.
00:05:22He just comes out here and
00:05:23knocks Corey Miller down.
00:05:25Watch him.
00:05:25He's just going to pull from
00:05:27right here.
00:05:27Now watch him come out here.
00:05:29Watch the power that he hits
00:05:30with.
00:05:30Boom.
00:05:31I mean guys just crumple.
00:05:32I mean their knees buckle and
00:05:34they just go right to the
00:05:34ground.
00:05:38Look what Sparks has to do now.
00:05:40We talk about Sleepy Sparks
00:05:42being on Michael Irvin.
00:05:44He has to cover him and zone him
00:05:45bump him.
00:05:46But if they sweep towards him he
00:05:48can't do that.
00:05:49He's a guy to support third and
00:05:51can somebody jump Aikman went on
00:05:53a long count.
00:05:54They might have jumped off sides
00:05:55that still wouldn't be enough
00:05:56for a first.
00:05:59I don't know that I've ever seen
00:06:00a guy there is as powerful as
00:06:03Larry Allen.
00:06:05Ball start number 84 on the
00:06:07offense.
00:06:07No but five yards still third
00:06:09down.
00:06:12Eighty four of course is Jay
00:06:13Novacek.
00:06:14He's right up here on top.
00:06:17And you're going to see they're
00:06:17going to start a movement.
00:06:19Jay Novacek moves before the
00:06:20ball snap so it makes it third
00:06:24and even longer.
00:06:25Fifteen sixteen Novacek really
00:06:29only practiced one day all week
00:06:31that he has a knee and ankle
00:06:33injury and only practiced on
00:06:35Friday.
00:06:36Daryl Johnson is the move man
00:06:38and it's meant to throw a flag
00:06:47after the catch that flag came
00:06:49in late.
00:06:50And this is what I think the
00:06:51Cowboys have to do.
00:06:52They just can't say they're
00:06:53doubling Michael Irvin their
00:06:55zone and we're not going to
00:06:56throw it to you.
00:06:57I think a great receiver you
00:06:58have to throw it to him even
00:07:00when he is double the forty
00:07:02niners have done it for years.
00:07:04This is against the Giants and I
00:07:05think that was one of the
00:07:06problems with the Cowboys is
00:07:08that if you would rotate towards
00:07:10Michael Irvin with your corner
00:07:12then the read would take him off
00:07:13him.
00:07:13Number 22 on the defense.
00:07:15That penalty is declined.
00:07:19Sparks said that he was going to
00:07:21be physical with Michael Irvin.
00:07:25Now if you would just watch Troy
00:07:26Aikman here he's going to stay
00:07:28with Michael Irvin.
00:07:29Yeah it's not going to be one of
00:07:30those things where he's going to
00:07:31read.
00:07:32You're going to see the penalty
00:07:33here.
00:07:34There's Felipe Sparks when he
00:07:35puts his hands on him right
00:07:36there.
00:07:37You see that is double coverage
00:07:39but if the quarterback has
00:07:40penalty he's going to be
00:07:41double coverage.
00:07:42It is double coverage but if the
00:07:43quarterback has confidence and
00:07:46you have a great receiver you
00:07:47can still get the ball.
00:07:52Inside the 15.
00:07:55Then see Glenn made the stop.
00:08:02Yeah this is a thing that
00:08:03Felipe Sparks said yesterday
00:08:05bad that when they got close to
00:08:06Michael Irvin got close to him
00:08:08he was going to grab him and you
00:08:10see that jersey there.
00:08:11What that does it's a technique.
00:08:13If you don't get caught it's
00:08:14pretty good because it pulls you
00:08:16towards the receiver.
00:08:18At that time it didn't do him
00:08:19any good either way.
00:08:20Well there's a guy who's been
00:08:21under fire.
00:08:23Not Dan Reeves so much recently
00:08:24although a couple of weeks ago
00:08:26he was Smith again Smith gets
00:08:29down to the 10.
00:08:30I was speaking of Barry Switzer
00:08:34and the criticism that has been
00:08:35aimed at him after those two
00:08:37calls in Philadelphia last week
00:08:39and it's been beyond belief
00:08:41almost it's been incredible all
00:08:42over the country.
00:08:43Yeah.
00:08:44You know because they they win
00:08:46for it and then they didn't get
00:08:47it.
00:08:48And then that put the Eagles in
00:08:49position to win the game and
00:08:51Eagles won the game and you have
00:08:52to live with it was a decision
00:08:55that I didn't agree with but at
00:08:59some point I think I think the
00:09:01players and the coaches and
00:09:03everyone they have to let that
00:09:04one go and get on with it
00:09:06because this is still a team
00:09:08that has been at war and has
00:09:10clinched a playoff berth.
00:09:12Well that's one of the keys as
00:09:13you've often said to play
00:09:14cornerback you've got to have a
00:09:15bad memory and when something
00:09:17like that happens you also need
00:09:19a bad memory.
00:09:20Yeah I always I always thought
00:09:21that the last game in your mind
00:09:23win or lose had to be out of it
00:09:26by Wednesday.
00:09:27You know that you could think
00:09:28about it Sunday night Monday and
00:09:30Tuesday.
00:09:31But on Wednesday you couldn't.
00:09:32The Eagles have clinched the
00:09:34playoffs spot with a one point
00:09:36victory over Arizona twenty one
00:09:38they were down 14 nothing early
00:09:40now let's see if the if the
00:09:41Cowboys can get that yard.
00:09:43Now this is third and short
00:09:44they're not fourth and short
00:09:46right.
00:09:46That same situation they had
00:09:48last week.
00:09:49Different formation different
00:09:52play but he didn't get much.
00:09:54It was him at Smith again.
00:09:59Now Barry Switzer may have that
00:10:01same decision Pat.
00:10:03He may have that fourth down
00:10:04decision here and have to go for
00:10:07it.
00:10:08I don't think that's the same
00:10:09situation.
00:10:10No.
00:10:10Twenty nine.
00:10:11No but you may have that fourth
00:10:12down situation because they
00:10:14didn't get any movement there
00:10:16and Emmitt Smith didn't get a
00:10:18first down on that play.
00:10:20It's very close and they don't
00:10:22show any signs of putting a
00:10:24field goal unit on the team.
00:10:25Well what I was asked for a
00:10:27measurement.
00:10:28I think they're going to be
00:10:29short and I think that the
00:10:31Cowboys will go for it on fourth
00:10:33down and again it will be Emmitt
00:10:35Smith.
00:10:35And they're about a foot short.
00:10:37If you had a quarterback it was
00:10:39a good quarterback sneak runner
00:10:41you would have Troy Aikman
00:10:42statement.
00:10:43He does not run a quarterback
00:10:44sneak.
00:10:46Oh they're going to get a kick
00:10:48the field goal that last week I
00:10:51wouldn't have gone for it on
00:10:52fourth down I would have punted
00:10:54and I'm saying this before they
00:10:55do it this week I would have
00:10:56gone for it on fourth down in
00:10:57this situation.
00:10:58Bonio was on with Novichak to
00:11:00hold decisions decisions as part
00:11:03of being a head coach.
00:11:04Well yeah if last week you did
00:11:05it because you had great
00:11:07confidence in your offensive
00:11:08line what does it mean this week
00:11:10when you're down here and you
00:11:11don't 27 yard field goal by
00:11:17Bonio was good and the Cowboys
00:11:19lead in three nothing on the
00:11:23other side I think it's good to
00:11:25get points on the board.
00:11:26You don't want to come away dry.
00:11:28We've talked about that all the
00:11:29time that you know that the
00:11:30toughest points that you can get
00:11:32those points that you have to
00:11:34get in any football game or the
00:11:36first one because I think the
00:11:41giant defense did a good job
00:11:43because they started off their
00:11:44first play was a turnover and
00:11:46interception and then their
00:11:48defense came in and really the
00:11:50Cowboys had good field position
00:11:52but the giant defense at least
00:11:54didn't let him get seven points
00:11:57if you there's Charles Haley who
00:12:00had the back surgery.
00:12:02He was the man who rushed the
00:12:04passer for the Cowboys.
00:12:06He's out for the rest of the
00:12:07year.
00:12:08Maybe he says he'll be able to
00:12:10come back if they do get to the
00:12:12NFC championship game.
00:12:13I doubt it.
00:12:14Well he had the back surgery a
00:12:15week ago and he said that the
00:12:17doctor told him that he wants
00:12:19him to do nothing.
00:12:20He said in fact he can't do
00:12:21anything now.
00:12:22He said but look at it in two
00:12:24weeks.
00:12:25He said two weeks from now or a
00:12:26week from now you'll have to go
00:12:28back two weeks after the surgery.
00:12:30He said by then he could tell
00:12:32whether he was going to be OK to
00:12:33play this year or not or to play
00:12:36at all or not.
00:12:38Bonio who just hit that 27 yard
00:12:40field goal will kick off the
00:12:44Cowboys got the pass
00:12:45interception a deflection that
00:12:47landed in the hands of Brock
00:12:48Marion and they got three out of
00:12:51it.
00:12:51Herschel Walker and Thomas Lewis
00:12:53back deep for the Giants line
00:12:56drive kick handled by Walker
00:12:59and the Giants.
00:13:00They've played many games here
00:13:12Johnson Davis down to make the
00:13:13tackle.
00:13:14Those of you who watch the
00:13:16Philadelphia victory welcome to
00:13:20Texas Stadium where Dallas is up
00:13:25three nothing St.
00:13:26And the Giants and the St.
00:13:28Louis Rams have been eliminated
00:13:33and those of you who watched
00:13:34that welcome to Texas Stadium
00:13:38first and 10 Giants at their own
00:13:40twenty six Darren Smith made the
00:13:49stop.
00:13:50Let's look at the Cowboy
00:13:51defensive unit Chad Hennings is
00:13:53number ninety five.
00:13:54He's in the middle with Hervin
00:13:56McCormick the two tackles the
00:13:57ends of Leon Lett and Tony
00:14:00Tolbert Smith miles and Edwards
00:14:02the linebackers and a secondary
00:14:06and Deion Sanders Brock Marion
00:14:09Darren Woodson and Larry Brown
00:14:10second and seven Hampton got
00:14:12three Howard cross moves from
00:14:15left to right take it down
00:14:23to thirty five by Dixon Edwards.
00:14:26That's one of the things the
00:14:27Giants want to do today is get
00:14:29some motion and some movement
00:14:30because Deion Sanders is going
00:14:33to the wide receiver on the side
00:14:35of the tight end.
00:14:36What they do is they put the
00:14:37tight end Howard cross on one
00:14:39side and Deion Sanders goes to
00:14:41the wide receiver on that side
00:14:43then they move the tight end to
00:14:45the other side.
00:14:46So then that put him on the weak
00:14:47side.
00:14:49That makes any sense.
00:14:50That's what they did.
00:14:50That's what Deion Sanders does
00:14:52to me.
00:14:54Third about two and brown back
00:15:01to throw away and it'll be a
00:15:05giant first down.
00:15:07And that's the other thing they
00:15:08want to do to Deion Sanders is
00:15:09get some movement.
00:15:10He likes to play the outside
00:15:11receiver.
00:15:12So Callaway started that time as
00:15:14the outside receiver win in
00:15:16motion.
00:15:17Now when Deion goes with him now
00:15:19he's not a receiver anymore.
00:15:21He is a slot receiver.
00:15:25See now here's Deion here.
00:15:27You know now he's the outside
00:15:28guy.
00:15:29And now when he goes in motion
00:15:31you say see what that does to
00:15:32Deion Sanders that puts him
00:15:34inside.
00:15:35Then he becomes the inside
00:15:36corner on the first down Irvin
00:15:43McCormick Russell Maryland you
00:15:48know last week he's not active
00:15:51today and he's the he's the guy
00:15:53that really plays well in there
00:15:54at that tackle for the Cowboys
00:15:56especially against the run
00:15:58Irvin McCormick is playing his
00:16:00place today.
00:16:01Dr. Maryland the other day knew
00:16:03he couldn't play today but he
00:16:04thinks he'll be back for next
00:16:05week.
00:16:07Irvin McCormick is a guy that
00:16:09just hung around for a year and
00:16:10a half and now he's getting a
00:16:12lot of playing time.
00:16:14This is Hampton again.
00:16:15Hampton Hampton ripped up by
00:16:19Deion Sanders for a McDonald's
00:16:22game break.
00:16:22Let's send you back to
00:16:23Hollywood and James Brown.
00:16:25Pat Philadelphia's defense helped
00:16:26them make it into the playoffs.
00:16:28Greg Davis had been pushed back
00:16:30by eight yards because of a sack
00:16:32by the Eagles.
00:16:33He missed that field goal
00:16:34attempt.
00:16:35That was a 47 yarder.
00:16:36The Eagles are in the playoffs
00:16:38with that one point victory over
00:16:40Arizona.
00:16:41Let's take it back to Pat and
00:16:42Ray Rhodes who coaches the
00:16:45Eagles has done one heck of a
00:16:47job third and for the Giants at
00:16:50their own forty nine.
00:16:52Sherrod the man in motion Brown
00:16:55back to throw and takes off with
00:16:57it slides and that's a giant
00:16:59first down slides probably not a
00:17:04good word for it.
00:17:05Dive for a first down this guy
00:17:07in the diver fly.
00:17:08But you see one thing that you
00:17:10can't leave a hole in the
00:17:11ground you can't leave a lane
00:17:13open.
00:17:14See your pass rush lanes and we
00:17:16can just stop it here.
00:17:17You see when you rush out this
00:17:19way and you rush out this way
00:17:20you give a big lane here not
00:17:22only to run in like Dave Brown
00:17:24does but to throw in and that's
00:17:26a tackle's fault.
00:17:27You can't have both of your
00:17:28defensive tackles working
00:17:30outside the guards on a pass
00:17:32run Hampton and Charles way to
00:17:38Dave Brown fake is the Hampton
00:17:40the left was in Brown's face in
00:17:44a hurry.
00:17:46Brown just threw that one away.
00:17:47I mean I do.
00:17:48Yeah that's something when you
00:17:49make a play fake and you see a
00:17:51big number 78 coming at you
00:17:53watch Leon lead here.
00:17:54He's going to be a heck of a
00:17:55defensive end.
00:17:56Well watch him he's just going
00:17:58to go to Jumbo Elliott's inside
00:17:59give him that move and what Dave
00:18:01Brown makes that play fake.
00:18:03He looks to his left and the
00:18:05first thing that he sees is Leon
00:18:07left.
00:18:07Watch this.
00:18:07Watch him he comes out of the
00:18:08play fake and he puts his head
00:18:10up and he sees number 78 white.
00:18:12You don't see people beat Jumbo
00:18:14Elliott like that that cleanly
00:18:16very often.
00:18:17Leon lead is going to be good
00:18:18here and I'm sure that he
00:18:20learned that from Charles Haley
00:18:21I'm sure that's what Charles
00:18:22Haley told him to do.
00:18:23Here's Brown back to throw it
00:18:25swings it outside the Hampton
00:18:26there's not much room there but
00:18:28he makes with his own sheer
00:18:30strength about four yards Dixon
00:18:33Edwards to make the stop.
00:18:35Charles Haley was saying
00:18:36yesterday he told Leon you just
00:18:37got to give him that headbutt
00:18:39in a grunt contest with this
00:18:40guy.
00:18:41I mean if he's back off you have
00:18:42to give him that that headbutt
00:18:44and that bull rush.
00:18:45But when he's up on the line of
00:18:46scrimmage you've got to give him
00:18:47that inside move and that's
00:18:49exactly what Leon did that no
00:18:52teacher over there he'd be
00:18:53pretty proud of that.
00:18:54Yeah he's eating those
00:18:55sunflowers he's he's eating the
00:18:57heck out of those things today.
00:18:58That's good for your back base
00:19:02and case and the cowboy nickel
00:19:05and a three wide receivers for
00:19:09the Giants and here comes Chad
00:19:11Hennig.
00:19:16And that's because Leon Lett
00:19:17went to the inside.
00:19:19That's that stunt that the
00:19:21Cowboys run so well.
00:19:22You see here's Leon Lett and
00:19:24here's Chad Henning.
00:19:25Now when he goes in he's going
00:19:27to come out and they have to be
00:19:28able to zone that.
00:19:30But watch what this does you see
00:19:31when Lett goes to the inside
00:19:33there they pick him off but in
00:19:35the inside when they pick him
00:19:36off they get off at Chad
00:19:38Henning because Bishop was
00:19:39blocking on Henning's then he
00:19:41went to let and then when he
00:19:43went to let Hennings was free
00:19:46Kevin Williams back to Mike
00:19:49Horan the left footed kicker
00:19:57they almost let it bounce and go
00:19:58in the end zone they had it
00:19:59surrounded and they downed it
00:20:02and they got it.
00:20:06Maury Whitmer down to down it
00:20:10teacher and the pupil Dallas
00:20:14three the Giants nothing
00:20:17officials conference and now Red
00:20:22Cashin says timeout the Cowboys
00:20:25three the Giants nothing in the
00:20:28first quarter in Texas Stadium
00:20:30Stadium that wasn't Texas
00:20:31Stadium that was an ice arena in
00:20:33Dallas.
00:20:34Yeah there weren't a lot of
00:20:34people with their ankles
00:20:36pointing out.
00:20:38This is Leon Lett they're fixing
00:20:39his pants on that stunt he blew
00:20:41his pants out.
00:20:42I hope we don't go too deep.
00:20:45Emmett Smith gets it out to the
00:20:46five covers up there from the
00:20:50hit from Corey Miller for him.
00:20:52That must have been some.
00:20:53Well it was that it was that
00:20:54stunt I mean he ran you know we
00:20:56saw the one time where he got
00:20:57the where he hit Dave Brown on
00:20:59that play pass going inside
00:21:01jumbo.
00:21:02Then we saw him take an inside
00:21:03on that stunt.
00:21:04Now they're punching holes in
00:21:05it.
00:21:06He blew out.
00:21:07No he blew out half his clothes
00:21:09so now that was some stunt.
00:21:11Well they punch those holes and
00:21:14they then they laced it up.
00:21:15That's how you lace you punch
00:21:17holes and then you put stuff
00:21:18through it get laced.
00:21:19That's how you laced it up.
00:21:23They want to throw it out of the
00:21:24end zone Kevin Williams and
00:21:29Aikman miscommunication.
00:21:32You see what they're doing there
00:21:33but you see they punch those
00:21:34holes and now they put the shoe
00:21:36string through it.
00:21:37Everybody's got a line of
00:21:38clothing.
00:21:39Maybe this will be less.
00:21:41This isn't bad though.
00:21:42I mean yeah.
00:21:44You just blow out your pants and
00:21:46blow out your shirt on one play
00:21:48and then you take some shoestring
00:21:49and tie you back together.
00:21:51Yeah.
00:21:52They'll probably cut that off.
00:21:53Now you're talking.
00:21:56Beat that.
00:21:58Betsy Ross before we threw
00:22:02Sanders is in as a wide receiver
00:22:05incomplete from Aikman intended
00:22:07for beyond in his direction.
00:22:10I still think that you know when
00:22:12the Cowboys start off if they're
00:22:14going to get in a rhythm and
00:22:16Troy Aikman hasn't been in a
00:22:18rhythm for the last three or
00:22:19four weeks but I think that
00:22:20rhythm has to come from Troy
00:22:22Aikman throw it to Michael Irvin
00:22:24or Jane over check and run in the
00:22:26ball them at Smith.
00:22:28I think when they try and go to
00:22:29Kevin Williams like they did
00:22:30there they get beyond in there.
00:22:32I think that throws their rhythm
00:22:33off.
00:22:34This is jet back at the end of
00:22:37the end zone to put out of there
00:22:39and that's Arthur Marshall Jim
00:22:59Swanson has done a heck of a job
00:23:01lately on special teams for
00:23:03Dallas three nothing.
00:23:05The Cowboys lead a 53 yard punt
00:23:10picture starting to clear a
00:23:12little bit.
00:23:13The top six teams remember make
00:23:15the playoffs San Francisco with
00:23:17the Atlanta loss today clinched
00:23:19the NFC West Dallas is in
00:23:22Philadelphia is in Green Bay is
00:23:25in way the man in motion Hampton
00:23:31the ball carrier chased by
00:23:33Henning missed at the sideline
00:23:37and he's finally knocked out of
00:23:38the game and he's going to be
00:23:39challenged by Brock Marion.
00:23:41That's the thing that Leon lead
00:23:42does well too is he not only is
00:23:44a good pass rusher as a
00:23:46defensive end but he also plays
00:23:48a run well and that's what you
00:23:50have to do you know that I'm in
00:23:51this sweep.
00:23:51He just kept him going right
00:23:53down the line.
00:23:54Just watch him here.
00:23:55You want to boom hang in here
00:23:57and then just come right down a
00:23:58line with your guy.
00:23:59Don't get moved.
00:24:00Don't get hooked.
00:24:01Don't get turned in.
00:24:01See how they try and hook him
00:24:03and he just keeps working the
00:24:04outside working the outside and
00:24:06then right down the line of
00:24:07Rodney Hampton.
00:24:08He never gets to his body to the
00:24:1740 Darren Smith made the stop
00:24:21very close to a giant first down
00:24:23everyone that you talk to when
00:24:25they play the Giants always talk
00:24:27about how big Rodney Hampton is.
00:24:29I mean most most tailbacks
00:24:31aren't that big.
00:24:32I mean he's kind of full back
00:24:33size when you get around two
00:24:35hundred and thirty two hundred
00:24:36pounds and he may not be the
00:24:38fastest or the quickest but when
00:24:41you tackle him it feels like
00:24:43you're tackling a guard.
00:24:44It's not like you're tackling a
00:24:45running back first and can
00:24:51garage demand emotion.
00:24:53Brown back to throw chase
00:24:54against green past and he's got
00:24:57some room Hampton another giant
00:25:00first down to the twenty five
00:25:01not by Woodson 15 yards the
00:25:06screen pass.
00:25:08Here's the thing is a is he's in
00:25:10the backfield so they know that
00:25:12if they're going to run the ball
00:25:13it's going to be Rodney Hampton
00:25:14then they try and throw him the
00:25:15screen it's another way in lieu
00:25:17of a run to get him the ball and
00:25:20get him outside.
00:25:21He got a couple of blocks down
00:25:22there and made a couple of moves
00:25:24and then at the end it takes a
00:25:25whole bunch of guys to get him
00:25:27down but he always gets another
00:25:28yard or two.
00:25:29Most of the guys that get him
00:25:30down and go on in the opposite
00:25:31direction and on their backs
00:25:34first and 10 giants at the
00:25:36Cowboys.
00:25:41Godfrey miles at the bottom of
00:25:43the stack.
00:25:45It's funny you see a guy like
00:25:46Rodney Hampton out here today
00:25:48Pat.
00:25:49I saw him in the lobby of the
00:25:50hotel last night and he was with
00:25:52his his teacher Mrs. Hamilton
00:25:55and she was his 11th grade
00:25:57teacher history teacher and he
00:25:58nominated her for the teacher of
00:26:01the year and she came to this
00:26:02game and came to see him and was
00:26:04talking about what kind of
00:26:05student he was and how they had
00:26:07a rule that you know if you
00:26:09don't if you don't pass you
00:26:10don't play.
00:26:12And she did him a favor one time
00:26:14Herschel Walker split out wide
00:26:15to the left.
00:26:16Give me John Brown gives to
00:26:20Hampton not much there meant
00:26:23quickly by the middle of the
00:26:25Cowboy defense.
00:26:26Leon let go ahead.
00:26:28Anyway so no so he was what.
00:26:30I mean here you see a guy top of
00:26:32the big guy guys are hitting him
00:26:33and last night he was Mrs.
00:26:34Hamilton is Mrs. Hamilton that
00:26:36but he wasn't going to be able
00:26:38to play in a game because he he
00:26:40wasn't passing.
00:26:41And so she said you're not going
00:26:43to play.
00:26:44And then he started to walk out
00:26:46of the room and he said to her
00:26:48please call me back.
00:26:49Please call me back.
00:26:50She did let him do makeup work
00:26:53to pass the play and she's here
00:26:57as a result.
00:27:00And here's Dave Brown Chase
00:27:06finally gets it out of there.
00:27:09Keith Elias flag on the play.
00:27:13And it's right in the area where
00:27:14Dave Brown was where it's going
00:27:16to be either an illegal hit on
00:27:19Dave Brown or it's going to be
00:27:21holding holding.
00:27:23It was a ladder.
00:27:25And when you see that that flag
00:27:27thrown right at the quarterback's
00:27:29feet it's going to be a big
00:27:30deal.
00:27:30It's going to be a big deal.
00:27:37Red Cashin who lives in Fort
00:27:39Worth not far from here.
00:27:40Number 59 on the outfit.
00:27:42You know Ryan Williams the
00:27:45guilty party and number 59 is
00:27:48Brian Williams the center.
00:27:50And again I think it happened
00:27:52late because he starts off he's
00:27:53OK there and then I don't know
00:27:56that that was holding there.
00:27:57I mean you're a big old center
00:27:59and you got stuff like that
00:28:00happening in there.
00:28:01He did get a hold of the
00:28:03Chatham County Jersey I guess.
00:28:05But that's pretty strong play to
00:28:07one third and 15 round shuttle
00:28:13fans ran that a couple of weeks
00:28:16ago and picked up key yardage in
00:28:20their victory over the Cowboys.
00:28:22Now the Giants try it and that's
00:28:25a that's a tough situation there
00:28:26and they didn't get a shovel
00:28:28pass because they needed about
00:28:3015 yards.
00:28:32So that didn't help him there.
00:28:33The thing that did help him now
00:28:36is they got about five or six
00:28:37yards closer for a field goal.
00:28:39So Danny we so will try to feel
00:28:41goal when the second quarter
00:28:43began.
00:28:48You begin the second quarter at
00:28:50Texas Stadium the Cowboys three
00:28:52nothing still working on the
00:28:54sideline.
00:28:55Well you know that's a team that
00:28:58malfunctioned earlier on the
00:29:00Giants sideline.
00:29:01Well you know that's if the if
00:29:03you don't have communication
00:29:04from the booth to the sidelines
00:29:06on one team then the other team
00:29:08has to take theirs out to this
00:29:11will be 40 yards out plus a
00:29:14little bit for Daly we so I mean
00:29:16Maddox told me that we saw is no
00:29:22Maddox and Daly we so signal
00:29:26good but the officials said no
00:29:27good.
00:29:30And there's only one way to win
00:29:31that argument.
00:29:37The missed field goal very
00:29:39close.
00:29:40You can see it's just outside.
00:29:43You know what they do is they
00:29:44put put an official under both
00:29:47ends of the goalpost and then
00:29:50they look as it goes right over
00:29:52their heads.
00:29:54I've done that many times.
00:29:59He's still arguing his case over
00:30:01there but I mean he's saying
00:30:02that it was inside but it it was
00:30:04outside.
00:30:05He's not going to win three
00:30:07nothing.
00:30:08Dallas may have the ball at their
00:30:10own just outside the 30.
00:30:13Moose Johnston Michael Brooks the
00:30:17tackler that was one of the
00:30:19things that the Cowboys added
00:30:21for this week is they aren't a
00:30:23big crossing team where they
00:30:24have their receivers tight ends
00:30:27backs wide receivers coming
00:30:29underneath or coming across.
00:30:32And that was a crossing pattern
00:30:33that time to Moose Johnston.
00:30:37And that's the way it's going to
00:30:38be.
00:30:39It's going to be a tough game
00:30:40tonight.
00:30:40And that's the way it's going to
00:30:41be for the Cowboys and Moose
00:30:42Johnston.
00:30:44They got about oh about four
00:30:47yards second and six.
00:30:49That was one thing that the
00:30:50Cowboys were going to do today
00:30:52is get the moves a little more
00:30:53involved in their passing game.
00:31:01A couple of yards maybe three
00:31:04Brooks again made the tackle
00:31:07Michael Brooks if you can keep
00:31:08him free.
00:31:09He's a good middle linebacker.
00:31:10But if you can keep guys off
00:31:12him he is a good middle
00:31:13linebacker because he's a good
00:31:15tackler.
00:31:16If you can keep him where he
00:31:17could come down the line of
00:31:18scrimmage like he did right
00:31:20there and make plays like that
00:31:21where he doesn't have to take on
00:31:23like big centers and and guards
00:31:25and those big three hundred and
00:31:26twenty pound guys.
00:31:27Of course what linebacker does
00:31:29want to take on three hundred
00:31:30and twenty pound guys.
00:31:31But if you get those linemen
00:31:32could keep the lineman off of
00:31:34him he'll make a heck of a lot
00:31:35of money.
00:31:36Very quick.
00:31:37Aikman tried to come out of the
00:31:39pocket and finally throws it
00:31:41down.
00:31:42But somebody jumped early.
00:31:44No flag.
00:31:45Yeah there is one there is one
00:31:47yet.
00:31:49It came late.
00:31:50That's a surprise because the
00:31:52thing is is is once a
00:31:54quarterback gets outside the
00:31:55pocket he loses his protection.
00:31:58Aikman was really upset.
00:32:02I think he's upset that he had
00:32:03to get out of the pocket.
00:32:04He didn't want to get out of the
00:32:05pocket.
00:32:05Probably also upset.
00:32:07He's upset that no one was open
00:32:09and his third upset is that he
00:32:10got hit late and he's already
00:32:13got two bad legs two bad knees
00:32:16intentional grounding.
00:32:17Number eight the ball was not
00:32:18thrown back to the line of
00:32:19scrimmage.
00:32:20Maybe that's why he's upset.
00:32:24Yeah that's that's the rule.
00:32:25But if he goes out once he gets
00:32:28outside here and he's outside
00:32:29the tackle box now when he
00:32:30throws the ball it has to get
00:32:32back to the line of scrimmage.
00:32:34If not it's throwing the ball
00:32:36away.
00:32:36When he comes out here you see
00:32:37the thirty five is the line of
00:32:39scrimmage and when he comes out
00:32:40here he has to get the ball to
00:32:42the thirty five.
00:32:43I don't know that he didn't look
00:32:46like somebody jumped the ball
00:32:47snapped.
00:32:48I could be wrong about that.
00:32:50Marshall feels the punt by Jeff
00:32:55Marshall still on his feet close
00:32:58to midfield about the forty
00:33:00seven where the Giants take over
00:33:02Dale Hellis stray made the stop
00:33:07Troy Aikman cheering on his
00:33:08offensive teammates these guys
00:33:13don't move.
00:33:13These guys don't move.
00:33:15The Giants move because the ball
00:33:17is staffed.
00:33:17Eric Williams is still in a
00:33:19stand and two and a didn't move
00:33:20until the defender has already
00:33:22passed him.
00:33:23Yeah.
00:33:23And then Troy Aikman had to
00:33:24throw the ball away.
00:33:26That was a legal hit by the
00:33:27Giants and in throwing the ball
00:33:29away.
00:33:29You can do that but it has to
00:33:31get back to the line of
00:33:32scrimmage which it didn't.
00:33:34Tyrone Wheatley for the Giants
00:33:36and he gets his first carry of
00:33:38the day hit by Shantae Carver at
00:33:44about.
00:33:45I got about a yard three nothing
00:33:47Dallas.
00:33:49One of the things that Dan Raves
00:33:50wants to do is to bring in Tyrone
00:33:52Wheatley like every third series
00:33:54and of course that's a that's a
00:33:56change of pace from Rodney
00:33:58Hampton where Rodney Hampton runs
00:34:00more inside the tackles Tyrone
00:34:02Wheatley can get it out.
00:34:03Tyrone Wheatley Rodney Hampton
00:34:06stronger all those different
00:34:08things.
00:34:09They're both about 230 push out
00:34:14of bounds by Marion but that'll
00:34:17be enough for a first down as
00:34:19you watch Dave Brown over the
00:34:21over the year he's become a lot
00:34:23more confident.
00:34:24You know I mean I mean just the
00:34:25way he carries himself and and I
00:34:28think he's a lot better at this
00:34:29a lot better at play faking ball
00:34:32faking getting a spiral a tight
00:34:34spiral on the ball finding
00:34:35things as a little more
00:34:37confidence and he's just a young
00:34:39quarterback that you can see
00:34:41growing.
00:34:42In fact you can see the whole
00:34:44giant offensive unit gaining and
00:34:46confident ran over Howard cross
00:34:54and then Shantae Carver was
00:34:56there he was trying to make a
00:34:57move and he couldn't wait so he
00:34:59had to run into Howard cross his
00:35:01head and he's a young guy that's
00:35:03pretty typical of a young runner
00:35:06can't wait.
00:35:07Yeah and that's then you know
00:35:08that was the thing remember last
00:35:10week Ricky Waters was talking
00:35:11about that he learned from
00:35:13Walter Payton he said that on
00:35:15certain runs you just have to
00:35:17have more patience second and
00:35:20third he just ran over Sanders
00:35:47and that was all about Deion
00:35:48Sanders he was trying to throw
00:35:50away the guy he was trying to
00:35:51throw to watch the whole thing
00:35:52it's all about this he's trying
00:35:54to get Deion in there he's
00:35:55trying to get Callaway there
00:35:57Callaway falls down Deion has
00:35:59good coverage but Dave Brown was
00:36:01looking at Callaway all the way
00:36:03and then when it wasn't when he
00:36:05couldn't throw it to him and he
00:36:06couldn't beat him that way he
00:36:07said well what the heck I'll
00:36:08just run on him but he was
00:36:10watching Deion Sanders all the
00:36:12way on that play and Deion was
00:36:14watching him go by as he ran
00:36:18down the timeout but Deion had
00:36:20good coverage on Callaway.
00:36:21Yeah it's a timeout for the
00:36:27Giants so they'll have to let
00:36:33Christmas is coming.
00:36:35Texas Stadium three nothing
00:36:39Cowboy Calloway lined up in the
00:36:41wrong side.
00:36:44Wide receivers Hershel Walker
00:36:48Brown Brown to the 20 out of
00:36:57bounds at about the five.
00:36:59It'll be first and go from
00:37:01there.
00:37:02You know that happened twice in
00:37:03a row here.
00:37:04Dave Brown was trying to get a
00:37:06crossing pattern.
00:37:07Remember we saw the earlier one
00:37:09he was trying to get it to
00:37:10Calloway this time.
00:37:11Watch Herschel Walker come
00:37:12across.
00:37:13Dave Brown is looking they're
00:37:14trying to get him on the cross.
00:37:16He's trying to get him on the
00:37:17cross.
00:37:17Leon let changes his mind.
00:37:20And when he comes out there
00:37:21there is no containment on his
00:37:23right side at all and there's no
00:37:25one downfield.
00:37:25They'd run the whole defense out
00:37:27and Dave Brown could run all the
00:37:28way down the four yard line
00:37:30first and go Giants at the three
00:37:42got about a yard.
00:37:43If I were Dan Reeves I don't
00:37:45know that I wouldn't put Rodney
00:37:46Hampton in here.
00:37:47I think I would.
00:37:48That Rodney Hampton he's putting
00:37:50an extra tight end and an extra
00:37:51offensive lineman in now taking
00:37:54his two wide receivers out
00:37:55getting two bigger blockers in
00:37:57here.
00:37:59I think I'd put that guy in
00:38:00there too because he he is not
00:38:03only stronger but he also has a
00:38:05great field and down I'm just
00:38:07going to say that down in here
00:38:08he knows how what it takes to
00:38:11get it in the end zone.
00:38:12The best runner for the Giants
00:38:13so far has been Dave Brown
00:38:15weekly deep Tyrone weekly from a
00:38:25yard out and the Giants have
00:38:30taken the lead and they made
00:38:33that field goal that would have
00:38:35been a bigger lead.
00:38:37You think back to last week in
00:38:39Philadelphia when the Cowboys
00:38:41let Rodney Pete scramble this
00:38:45time the key play was a Dave
00:38:46Brown scramble a couple of Dave
00:38:48Brown scrambles and getting them
00:38:50down on the goal line there and
00:38:52that right side of the offensive
00:38:53line you know Lance Smith and
00:38:56Riesenberg and those guys
00:38:57controlling that right side
00:39:02they've already got more points
00:39:04the Giants do than they did on
00:39:05opening night when they were at
00:39:07home at Giants Stadium and
00:39:09they're playing a heck of a lot
00:39:10better to a boy and you can see
00:39:12him gaining that magic
00:39:14confidence down the double team
00:39:19starts here with Doug Riesenberg
00:39:21and Howard Cross they get the
00:39:22belt and this starts a hole then
00:39:24Greg Bishop pulls from here
00:39:26around here to lead Tyrone
00:39:28Wheatley through the hole to the
00:39:29double team starts to give you a
00:39:31hole right there.
00:39:33Now watch Bishop boom right there
00:39:34he gets Watson and that gets
00:39:36Wheatley into the end zone.
00:39:38Now he's so kicked off to Kevin
00:39:40Williams standing at the goal
00:39:42line reverse to Sanders.
00:39:45Nothing.
00:39:47Lost the artist.
00:39:50That didn't fool the Giants at
00:39:51all.
00:39:52That was great specialties
00:39:53coverage.
00:39:54That's that picture.
00:39:56If you can see the stadium in
00:39:58the background is from the
00:39:59blockbuster video blimp you know
00:40:01with appropriate wind conditions
00:40:03it can travel at speeds up to 90
00:40:05miles an hour.
00:40:05It's equipped with rocket
00:40:07boosters.
00:40:07What can no telling how fast it
00:40:10can go with those boosters.
00:40:12Yeah.
00:40:13You know what I did.
00:40:13I challenged him.
00:40:14I don't race.
00:40:15It used to be like 30 miles an
00:40:16hour 35 miles an hour.
00:40:18And I said anything that hovers
00:40:20can't go fast.
00:40:20Now what are you telling me.
00:40:21Ninety miles.
00:40:22You didn't know that when you
00:40:23made the bet.
00:40:24Ninety miles an hour.
00:40:25Yeah.
00:40:26Well it depends on the wind.
00:40:27It can go faster than that with
00:40:29the hurricane.
00:40:31And there have a his a cane.
00:40:33Emmett Smith the ball carrier
00:40:34and the ball carrier.
00:40:36Stacey Dillard made the stop
00:40:39that needed a double his a cane.
00:40:43You didn't know about those
00:40:44ninety five.
00:40:45No those things.
00:40:46They're like those old tackles
00:40:47in the old days that used to
00:40:48stand around the line of
00:40:49scrimmage and watch out for the
00:40:51draw on the screen.
00:40:52They have accepted the challenge
00:40:54and there's Deion Sanders in
00:40:57there not wide receiver lined up
00:40:59way up there in the top.
00:41:01He's on the right.
00:41:01Michael Irvin on the left.
00:41:03Irvin gives it around the corner
00:41:06steps out of bounds again.
00:41:10Let's send you back to
00:41:11Hollywood and James Brown for a
00:41:13McDonald's game break in
00:41:16Philadelphia last night.
00:41:18Now we throw it back to him in
00:41:19Hollywood.
00:41:20He's quick.
00:41:22No one to raise him flag on the
00:41:26play as a man was rushed hard.
00:41:30That was Michael Irvin.
00:41:32Yeah that was Robert Harris.
00:41:34Harris was a guy that that hit
00:41:35Aikman on the sideline when he
00:41:37when he threw the ball away.
00:41:39Harris is the guy that got him
00:41:41here working against Eric
00:41:43Williams.
00:41:44The first time of course I think
00:41:45that was on Derek Kennard
00:41:47because he snapped the ball
00:41:48early bowling number 22 on the
00:41:52defense.
00:41:52Sparks on Irvin you see right
00:41:58there.
00:41:59He's got a lot of power.
00:42:00He's got a lot of power.
00:42:01That's what you see with
00:42:02Felipe Sparks right there.
00:42:04Again they want to bump them.
00:42:06They want to be physical with
00:42:07them.
00:42:08But you have to get off them at
00:42:10a certain point.
00:42:12You know and Michael Irvin is
00:42:13such a physical wide receiver
00:42:15that Felipe Sparks has now had
00:42:17three penalties against him.
00:42:19But to be honest with you that's
00:42:21the only way to play Michael
00:42:22Irvin.
00:42:23That's a good ball.
00:42:23He's got a good ball.
00:42:24He's got a good ball.
00:42:25He's got a good ball.
00:42:26He's going to get the gas.
00:42:28Got about four that time.
00:42:34Even though you're jamming him
00:42:35outside I want you guys still
00:42:36with him.
00:42:37Stay with the right.
00:42:38Keep frustrating him guys you've
00:42:40got to get your hands on them
00:42:41every time.
00:42:42They're talking about Mike
00:42:43Michael Irvin.
00:42:45Good job on this guy.
00:42:47That's seven year rally and he's
00:42:49a defensive backfield coach Pat.
00:42:51That's what he was telling him.
00:42:52He was telling him to get
00:42:53frustrated and that's what teams
00:42:55have been doing to Michael Irvin.
00:42:57They've been frustrating him
00:42:58because he hasn't been getting
00:42:59the ball six reverse.
00:43:06He got a first down with the
00:43:07reverse Coleman Rudolph brought
00:43:10him down but Sanders he has
00:43:14quickness doesn't he.
00:43:15He does.
00:43:16Everyone says that you know
00:43:18who's the fastest player in the
00:43:20National Football League.
00:43:21I mean he's got a lot of
00:43:22experience.
00:43:23He's got a lot of experience
00:43:24here at Deion Sanders.
00:43:26And when he gets motoring he can
00:43:27go.
00:43:28All you have to do is knock a
00:43:29couple guys down because if he
00:43:31ever gets behind him if he ever
00:43:33gets behind him he's going to go
00:43:34all the way.
00:43:35You see he started as a wide
00:43:37receiver there.
00:43:38He got a block run from this
00:43:39Darrell Johnston got one.
00:43:41Michael Irvin didn't get that
00:43:43block for him.
00:43:52Then see Glenn back on the
00:43:53coverage but Michael Irvin made
00:43:55the adjustment.
00:43:57That's what they have to do.
00:43:58I think if you're a playmaker
00:44:00and you're the big guy in the on
00:44:01that team and they're going to
00:44:03get you the ball that even they
00:44:04do rotate towards even if they
00:44:06do get physical with you you
00:44:08still have to get the ball to
00:44:10him.
00:44:11And that's what they're doing
00:44:11here.
00:44:12That was a rotation.
00:44:13They rotated up the safety came
00:44:15over but he just got in between
00:44:17him and he is so physical and so
00:44:19good at the end of the day.
00:44:21He's so good at the end of the
00:44:22play.
00:44:23If the ball is in the air
00:44:24anywhere he is going to get it
00:44:26for you.
00:44:27That ball slipped out of
00:44:27Aikman's hand right there.
00:44:29He hates to throw a wet ball
00:44:30anyway.
00:44:31I know.
00:44:32But look at Michael Irvin will
00:44:33position his body where he's
00:44:35going to catch the ball and then
00:44:37position against the defenders.
00:44:39This is a Dallas timeout.
00:44:43So both teams have to live in
00:44:45the first half.
00:44:46It's seven three Giants to think
00:44:50about it.
00:44:51You have to realize you know he
00:44:53is watching Michael Irvin all
00:44:55the way.
00:44:55Now watch Michael Irvin when the
00:44:57ball's thrown.
00:44:58He doesn't even look.
00:44:59He knows where the ball is going
00:45:00to be.
00:45:01He just goes and goes and goes.
00:45:02Now he takes that peak over his
00:45:04shoulder as he runs by Vincy
00:45:07Glenn.
00:45:07He has to get by Vincy Glenn.
00:45:09Then he positions his body to
00:45:11catch the ball and keep the off
00:45:13safety away from him.
00:45:15In essence on that play there
00:45:17were three defensive backs on
00:45:20the field.
00:45:21Cowboy first down at the Giants
00:45:2418.
00:45:26Eggman intended for Kevin
00:45:31Williams.
00:45:32That's a bad throw there by
00:45:33trying because he had Kevin
00:45:35Williams there was no one on
00:45:36Kevin Williams.
00:45:39I think he's so used to throwing
00:45:41to the other guys he's not used
00:45:42to throw into Kevin Williams but
00:45:44that's not Kevin Williams his
00:45:45fault.
00:45:46And watch Kevin Williams the
00:45:48guy that fell down.
00:45:49You see the ball flutter.
00:45:50He hates as I said a minute ago
00:45:52he just hates to throw a wet
00:45:53ball.
00:45:54Well it's darn near beyond hate
00:45:56it's very close to paranoia
00:45:59about a wet ball.
00:46:01He threw that one like he was
00:46:02flopping one out of there.
00:46:05Here he gets doing it.
00:46:12You know there's a guy that's
00:46:13playing a pretty good game on
00:46:14defense.
00:46:15He was a guy that you know
00:46:16forced Eggman to throw the ball
00:46:17away.
00:46:18He was a guy that hit him although
00:46:20where there was a a penalty on
00:46:22Felipe Sparks and he's a guy
00:46:24here on this play came all the
00:46:25way across the field to tackle
00:46:26Emmitt Smith and in essence put
00:46:29the Cowboys now in a passing
00:46:31situation.
00:46:36There he comes.
00:46:38He came all the way across from
00:46:39left and all the way across the
00:46:40field.
00:46:41Third and.
00:46:45He's going to get it.
00:46:54Roll and try to throw the screen
00:46:56pass to Darryl Johnson.
00:46:58It just didn't get there.
00:46:59Yeah.
00:47:00Stacy Dillard was there.
00:47:01What he tried to do and this
00:47:03really isn't like the Cowboys.
00:47:04I mean I'm surprised they just
00:47:05don't go back and try and throw
00:47:06the ball to Michael Irvin there
00:47:08but they tried to like roll
00:47:09right.
00:47:10You know they don't do a lot of
00:47:12roll right screen back or screen
00:47:15roll out here to his right.
00:47:16Now he's going to try and stop
00:47:18and throw a screen back here to
00:47:20Moose Johnston.
00:47:20But I'm not too sure where that
00:47:23one came from and that one is
00:47:24never going to work.
00:47:26Oh no.
00:47:29It's the field goal.
00:47:30That's his 19th in a row.
00:47:32That one from thirty three
00:47:33yards and it's seven six.
00:47:36The Giants over the Cowboys.
00:47:45The ball carrier here.
00:47:48I'm sure my partner John Madden
00:47:50does.
00:47:51Well you know the funny thing
00:47:52about that play is I had Cotton
00:47:53Davidson later and every time I
00:47:55talk about coverage I'd say boy
00:47:58now this is a tough coverage
00:48:00because the guy disguises and
00:48:01all this and Cotton would say
00:48:03I'll tell you about a tough
00:48:04coverage.
00:48:04He said I'm playing for the
00:48:06Texas we're playing in Boston.
00:48:08I throw a slant to Burford and
00:48:09some fan comes out and knocks the
00:48:11ball down.
00:48:12I said I blown it.
00:48:13You know Cotton was one of those
00:48:14guys that exaggerate.
00:48:15That's the first time I was
00:48:17telling the truth all day and
00:48:19the fan just disappeared back
00:48:20and nothing happened.
00:48:23Games over games over.
00:48:24Here's Dave Brown back to throw
00:48:26it.
00:48:27I'm going to cross the middle
00:48:28with Mike Sherrard who makes the
00:48:30cat.
00:48:33The question the Aflac question
00:48:34is who were the eight original
00:48:36AFL teams.
00:48:38There they are the Boston
00:48:39Patriots the Bill Dallas Cowboys
00:48:41the Dallas Texans not the
00:48:42Cowboys.
00:48:43The New York Raiders the
00:48:45Broncos the Oilers the Chargers
00:48:46the Titans of New York and the
00:48:48Oakland Raiders and that's who
00:48:51they become.
00:48:54Of course like you said Dallas
00:48:55Cowboys are Cowboys then moved
00:48:58in here in the Dallas Texans
00:48:59move to Kansas City.
00:49:03One Hampton past midfield good
00:49:06run by Hampton.
00:49:07You know that crossing pattern
00:49:09that one that Mike Sherrard
00:49:10caught just on the play before
00:49:12this.
00:49:12I'm saying I think that the
00:49:14Cowboy defense is very
00:49:15vulnerable to.
00:49:16I think the forty niners
00:49:18exposed it.
00:49:20Yeah I think the Redskins worked
00:49:23on that game plan and until they
00:49:25put some of those fires out that
00:49:27were lit by the forty niners
00:49:30this Cowboy defense is still
00:49:32going to be susceptible to
00:49:33things especially those crossing
00:49:36pattern.
00:49:38Second down and they give the
00:49:41Hampton.
00:49:42Hampton stretches out but I
00:49:45don't think he got the first
00:49:46down.
00:49:47The other thing that they're
00:49:48susceptible to is movement and
00:49:50motion.
00:49:51That's what the forty niners did
00:49:52and the Redskins did.
00:49:53And the Giants are not a big
00:49:55movement team by by movement I
00:49:57mean you know shifts in motion
00:49:59and those kind of things.
00:50:00But in this first half we're
00:50:01seeing as much motion and
00:50:03shifting from a Giants team that
00:50:05I've seen in a long time.
00:50:07The thing about the Cowboy
00:50:09defense is they don't change a
00:50:10lot of things.
00:50:11They just say sort of here we
00:50:12are.
00:50:13Here's what we're going to do
00:50:14and you got to beat us bad in a
00:50:16part that they have Deion
00:50:17Sanders playing man to man and
00:50:19the other guys playing zone and
00:50:21then they try and get him to
00:50:22look at one thing then do
00:50:24something else.
00:50:26Red Cash says they need about
00:50:28six inches.
00:50:29That has to be quarterback
00:50:31sneak situation.
00:50:31I think Dave Brown is has
00:50:33probably been the most effective
00:50:35runner for the Giants in this
00:50:36first half.
00:50:38I would think if I were going to
00:50:39play and of course Dan Reeves
00:50:41calls the plays.
00:50:43This one has quarterback sneak
00:50:45written all over it.
00:50:46Dan Reeves of course spent many
00:50:48years here as a player and then
00:50:50an assistant coach still well
00:50:54respected and liked by this
00:50:57entire area.
00:50:59He's still talking about Coach
00:51:00Landry.
00:51:03He had dinner with Walt Garrison
00:51:04Friday night.
00:51:05He's going to get the first
00:51:06round just with his strength.
00:51:11Got the first down.
00:51:14That's that's the thing about
00:51:15Rodney Hampton is you're going
00:51:18to have to do some blocking but
00:51:19if you get enough blocking to
00:51:21get him back to the line of
00:51:22scrimmage you know he's going to
00:51:24get the first down for you just
00:51:27on his strength.
00:51:28I think Rodney Hampton has gone
00:51:30to becoming one of the most
00:51:32underrated players in this
00:51:34league.
00:51:36He's certainly a player who
00:51:37would like to have brown bakes
00:51:39to him.
00:51:41Deeper survive beyond Sanders
00:51:45the defender and he was right
00:51:48with him.
00:51:51All the giant receivers were
00:51:53talking this week about who Dion
00:51:55was going to cover.
00:51:55You know one thing is on one
00:51:57part you don't want Dion to
00:51:58cover you because then the
00:52:00quarterback is not going to look
00:52:01there a lot.
00:52:01But on the other hand you want
00:52:03to be the guy.
00:52:05I mean here's Dion Sanders here
00:52:06he's working against Mike
00:52:07Sherrard.
00:52:08So now Sherrard could say hey
00:52:10I'm playing in the game and Dion
00:52:11has covered me and they're
00:52:12throwing deep to me and I beat
00:52:14him.
00:52:15I just didn't have both feet in
00:52:16bound.
00:52:18Mike Sherrard was pushed out
00:52:20there too wasn't it.
00:52:21They both were shot.
00:52:24Second down.
00:52:26Brown to throw.
00:52:27Chase gets the screen pass out
00:52:29to Hampton who's chasing behind
00:52:31by.
00:52:33And Hampton.
00:52:35Gets close to another giant
00:52:37first down stop by five miles
00:52:39finally got three miles.
00:52:42Dan Raiders is doing a good job
00:52:44of mixing up plays here you
00:52:46know you know again you know we
00:52:48talk about Michael Irvin being a
00:52:50physical guy.
00:52:51Dion Sanders is physical when
00:52:53the ball is in the air.
00:52:54So Mike Sherrard was physical
00:52:56there with Dion Sanders but they
00:52:58were both locked up just before
00:52:59that ball got there weren't they
00:53:01really.
00:53:01Third and one.
00:53:04Four out of six.
00:53:05In this game in this situation.
00:53:09Thank the Hampton.
00:53:17The odds handers back with him.
00:53:19They finally got him I think
00:53:21they're going to get one of them
00:53:22this has been a very physical
00:53:23game downfield on both sides by
00:53:26the defensive backs Felipe
00:53:28Sparks and by Dion Sanders.
00:53:30They've gotten Felipe Sparks
00:53:31like three times already and
00:53:33they got Dion Sanders on this
00:53:34one.
00:53:35That was a good call short
00:53:36yardage you know they get all up
00:53:38in their fake fake the run in
00:53:40there and then throw that play
00:53:41pass.
00:53:42You know what.
00:53:43Number 21 on the defense.
00:53:45Yard.
00:53:46First.
00:53:48Dave Brown has gotten to be a
00:53:50much much better faker hiding
00:53:52the ball.
00:53:53Watch how he did that you see I
00:53:54started that then he put his
00:53:55head down and you see what he
00:53:57did.
00:53:58He's got a lot of power in the
00:53:59hand and you see what Dion
00:54:01Sanders is doing.
00:54:02He was all over Aaron Pierce
00:54:04that faking and that ball
00:54:05handling ability goes back to
00:54:07Steve DeBerg right.
00:54:09And part of that is Steve DeBerg
00:54:11Park.
00:54:13Part of that is his good fake by
00:54:17Dave Brown and the other part is
00:54:19what's Rodney Hampton.
00:54:21He puts his hands down like he
00:54:22has a ball and he jumps over
00:54:24like he's going for a short
00:54:26yardage play.
00:54:27Giant first down the give is to
00:54:29Hampton to about the 26 yard
00:54:32line of Dallas two minute
00:54:37warning.
00:54:38Both teams have just been
00:54:39notified and the Giants lead the
00:54:42Cowboys by one point seven six
00:54:47foggy for a couple of days and
00:54:49it hasn't gone away.
00:54:51Obviously Leon let's move back
00:54:54in and tackle now.
00:54:56Brown back to throw it to
00:55:01Charles way out of bounds after
00:55:06he picked up a couple.
00:55:07Yeah the Cowboys like to rotate
00:55:10their defensive lineman.
00:55:12So with Charles Haley being out
00:55:14Leon let his move to end and
00:55:16then when they want to rotate
00:55:18they'll bring Shanti Carver in
00:55:20sometimes as the end and then
00:55:22put Leon let back in it to
00:55:23tackle.
00:55:24I would think that you know with
00:55:26Charles Haley out and needing a
00:55:27dominant player I think I would
00:55:29just leave Leon let out their
00:55:30defensive and let him dominate
00:55:33from there.
00:55:34Elias is in the backfield with
00:55:36Brown.
00:55:39Is Calloway in motion again.
00:55:43Brown gets away from slides out
00:55:48of bounds at the 15 and gets the
00:55:50first down anyway.
00:55:54Dave Brown yesterday and he said
00:55:56the only weather that bothers
00:55:57him is when they said this wet
00:55:59ball and rain and nothing
00:56:00bothers him.
00:56:01But the other thing that he
00:56:02really likes here is he looks
00:56:04and looks and looks and then he
00:56:06always keeps moving.
00:56:07And if you give him an open lane
00:56:09or an open area or a soft spot
00:56:11in the defense he'll not only
00:56:13throw into it but he'll also run
00:56:15into it.
00:56:16And he's been very effective in
00:56:18effective in running into soft
00:56:21spots that this cowboy defense
00:56:23has given him the biggest
00:56:26Hampton Brown intended for
00:56:35Calloway.
00:56:38That was a good play fake there.
00:56:40It was a good fake.
00:56:41But then you throw to the guy
00:56:44that the Deon Sanders is
00:56:45covering.
00:56:46Look at this David Brown 40 42
00:56:49yards Smith 45 yards.
00:56:52But watch a play fake here again
00:56:54good play fake the old bootleg
00:56:57and then he had no one he was
00:56:58trying to go to the middle
00:56:59Calloway on the left side was
00:57:01his second choice second and 10
00:57:05Calloway in motion inside the 10
00:57:11to about the eight couple short
00:57:14of a first down Dixon Edwards
00:57:16and he's got a lot of time to
00:57:17shift him up.
00:57:18You would think the way things
00:57:19are going that they could darn
00:57:21near stay with with Dave Brown
00:57:23running or Rodney Hampton
00:57:24running.
00:57:26I think in this first half that
00:57:27Dan Reeves has done a heck of a
00:57:29job of mixing like he's up
00:57:31raising plays mixing formation
00:57:33mixing personnel shifting guys
00:57:36moving guys and he's kind of
00:57:38kept this cowboy defense off
00:57:40balance third and to their five
00:57:42out of seven on third down
00:57:43Hampton Oh he's like a missile.
00:57:56If you could get that line of
00:57:57scrimmage just like I said
00:57:58before if you can get that line
00:57:59of scrimmage for him so you
00:58:00don't get any penetration and
00:58:02get him there he can just put
00:58:03his head down and just power
00:58:05power powerful power the rest of
00:58:08the way a lot of peas in that.
00:58:10Well they said yesterday and you
00:58:12know in the beginning they had
00:58:13to be able to run and they are
00:58:15doing it Hampton by lead and
00:58:20that's the way to stop it right
00:58:21there.
00:58:22You see like I said you have to
00:58:24stop him before they get to the
00:58:25line of scrimmage so he doesn't
00:58:26get penetration that play.
00:58:28Leon let got penetration giant
00:58:32timeout they have one left the
00:58:37Giants lead the Cowboys by a
00:58:39third they have one time out
00:58:43left.
00:58:43Don't forget coming up at the
00:58:44half the Dockers halftime with
00:58:46J.B. Terry Howie and Jimmy all
00:58:49the scores playoff situation
00:58:54second and go at the five
00:58:56minutes of one time out left
00:59:07he appeared to be open.
00:59:09Oh and Brown's upset.
00:59:10He knows that he had him.
00:59:12He had him wide open that thing
00:59:13all he had to do is get him the
00:59:15ball.
00:59:16Look at this drive here.
00:59:19This is the thing that is great
00:59:21for the Giants and really
00:59:23frustrates the Cowboy.
00:59:25You know 14 plays look almost
00:59:27five minutes.
00:59:28They've had that ball.
00:59:30I don't know if that ball was a
00:59:31little wet or got away but
00:59:32there's no spiral on it.
00:59:34It's wet.
00:59:35It didn't look like a wet ball
00:59:39and that just took off on him.
00:59:41Anytime you put the ball on his
00:59:43carpet it's going to be wet.
00:59:44He had Chris Callaway was wide
00:59:46open on that in line third down
00:59:55and he had a touchdown.
01:00:10They lost his shoe and
01:00:12everything lost his shoe.
01:00:13The ball he sold out on that.
01:00:16That's what you call a
01:00:17quarterback selling out because
01:00:19he knew he was going to take
01:00:21the ball but he is going to
01:00:23watch him he's good he's looking
01:00:25to his left then he looks to the
01:00:27middle then when he looks out
01:00:28here he says oh boy look what I
01:00:29got again finding a soft spot to
01:00:32run in this defense again and
01:00:34then he just put that ball down
01:00:36and now once it breaks the
01:00:37play up that's a touchdown even
01:00:44though it didn't come out hit
01:00:45the ground extra point by
01:00:47Dalloway so it's good and it's
01:00:5114 to 6 Giants nine plays four
01:00:55minutes 17 seconds they kept the
01:00:58ball and there's a guy who was
01:01:02sold out.
01:01:04He still hasn't caught his
01:01:05breath yet.
01:01:06He's still trying to get all the
01:01:07air that he had before that run
01:01:09back into him because he he he
01:01:12dove on that thing lost his
01:01:14shoe his shoe went flopping off
01:01:15and the ball came flying into
01:01:17him and he was on after he had
01:01:19broken the plane watch his eyes
01:01:21here right now when he sees it
01:01:23right there he can say that if
01:01:24he could just beat one guy there
01:01:26that he can get a touchdown and
01:01:28that's exactly what he did.
01:01:30Robert Bailey was a guy.
01:01:32The Cowboys were in their nickel
01:01:33defense Robert Bailey's number
01:01:36twenty three.
01:01:37He was a guy that he ends up
01:01:40having to beat you see but when
01:01:42he looks back here and he sees
01:01:43this you see how soft it is in
01:01:45here.
01:01:45In other words by soft there's
01:01:46no way that he could beat him.
01:01:48He's really between him and the
01:01:49goal line and the only guy there
01:01:51was number twenty three and he
01:01:53beat him Robert Bailey and of
01:01:55course Bill Bates comes across
01:01:57after he got to Dave Brown but
01:02:06stay in the white rushing
01:02:08comparison.
01:02:09Yeah.
01:02:10Who would have thought that you
01:02:10would say that in the first half
