1978 - Wk. 08 Oilers vs. Steelers (MNF)

Courtney wide-receiver Lynn Swann is not in there we'll see him of course Randy Grossman is the tight end replacing an injured Benny Cunningham who was up to a great air until two weeks ago against Atlanta John Stallworth he's meant a lot to Terry Bradshaw number 82 really came into his own last year and his son waiting once again this year all right they mark it at the eighth team so to be second down along a quick toss [Applause] it gets close to the 25-yard pickup of six it'll be third down and two Franco Harris loves to play on Monday night we'll take another look at the agility that Frank just mentioned for a big man nobody turns the corner pail and look at that right there Paris and 8:00 Monday night games has gained over 800 yards in five of them more than a hundred yards and 1975 remember Howard against Houston he went 449 yards he loves the pressure left of a game Franco Harris third down and two branch on a third and 82 hours [Applause] there was a mixup in the different defense there's stuff and they come at you from all angles sometimes they'll make the mistake it's the man in the middle you know from years of play curly coat Jim young is a one end elbow buffet the other end there your linebackers probably know better linebacker at least in terms of Kitty and Robert Brazil the defensive secondary the steelers got the first down at ten [Music] eighty-eight of course [Applause] [Music] six yard pickup sixty-five album buffet while he had an inch like opening and that was all we needed because after that Larry Csonka when Zach was in his prime he pauses the rest on his own this man and his eleven tear still all pro Elva buffet Franco Harris seventh leading rusher in the history of the to the rice ball [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] holy Alexander recovery well the crowd is booing because Swan really got it after the play was over swanny has been through this before once he suffered such a serious concussion that was thought he would quit the game prematurely based upon his age look right there and that's why the crowd was going but Swan those smallish and live is terribly durable he'll pull you you have to double up on them really to cover them and then if you double up on stall where if that leaves to dine n loose right Frank third down six weather third down four working will try and keep you abreast [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] have to be concerned with this man [Applause] we have still another look at this play which is exactly why storm earth has become so light plays like that swanny you can't cover one on vice-versa a pair of sensational wide receivers and illustration of the kind of year that branch was having a beautifully thrown book for this break beam bingham finger missin one most famous linebackers giver but he's one of the most effective believes Houston and he'll assisted tackles the linebacker let them a year Paulo Brazil as you notice is the publicized one and a great walls are an all-pro from his inside position Bingham step across the line of scrimmage read the play a yard and a half loss it'll be second down and call it [Applause] [Music] Sidney Thornton back in again he wears number 38 the flyer gets the phone the bully Alexander down he goes back to the original line of scrimmage and inside the 15 for a pickup of about two it'll be third down and nine Rocky Bleier courts history has been often repeated enough the 16th round draft pick years ago 68 didn't think he could make the team to Vietnam wilded came back took him six years before he became a starter here at the Staters and he's been a steady performer in Franco [Applause] Willie Alexander and Kurt not under obvious pressure you sought Bradshaw had to hurry his throw a little bet the swanee that was a safety blitz on that play and now watch linn as he goes into the middle post baton that looked like it might have been caught but not with all that pressure on swanee not even Gifford could have got that to confuse Brett you saw a star with his errand I can say for sure they shouldn't have both been there Roy's irrelevant attempt to 31-yard field goal who six to twelve of the year so the game remains scoreless we'll tell you about the time as soon as we know my just being too easygoing doesn't scrimmage his team in the preseason he says why do that Houston's not on a schedule let them get hurt against the other guys we play first and 10 the Oilers torella missed from 30 when yards off the game is scoreless 525 we're told this is our town I'll up as he gets out close to the 24 yard line for a gain of four the second six white white was over there Lambert was over there look at that graphic and was lamping to make the initial hit by the way tells the story of Harold Campbell he's played in six games 608 total yards pretty good for a run now watch 58 he fought off one block pursued the play laterally and was in on it to help stop second and sixth of all the 24 yard line [Applause] gets out of the bind of the line of scrimmage and roads are closed to the 28 yard line a couple yards short of the first down every third and two again Lambert and Mike Wagner on the stop there's more versatility in this Houston backfield and one would have expected it's not just their old camp capital was on the sidelines in a recent Houston victory over Cleveland coffin sake' min at one point together with Ronnie Coleman he provided spark and why burden to with your tight ends are in if you want to fight rich castewart idea [Applause] [Music] the line of scrimmage he found the opening popped it first down at the 40 yard line taken by Mike Wagner there let's look again because it is a play that happens very often you get just a little crease and the linebackers of course down at the line of scrimmage no one to fill the hole there you see the Miss by Lambert Wagner makes the save and that could have been a butter first and 10 the honors their own 40 Pastorini passing accustomed to 54% of the year that is biggest credential only five times has he been sacked forty-three a flag is down butcha Frank is accurate in that call and I believe he is will temporarily slow this Houston beginning drive and they're doing it on the ground and the Pittsburgh coaching staff led by Chuck Noll knows very well that if there's a way to play Pittsburgh representative LAN hope to beat them it's through the ground game they've been so strong against the past but teams that can run and the Jets for instance played them very representative Lee it was 28 to 17 and closer than that score indicate a fancy legal motion number 26 took time out for the call from the official Jets get it all on the ground against his Pittsburgh but backup quarterback man Robin it was against carpenter is first and 15 Mike barber the Dianetics kept he's at the top of the screen Tripta Lambert boarding across talked about Kinney borough as Pastorini finds himself in the passing situation there is a man that has a great deal of respect for Ken borough - this man with a great record well Chuck Noll has to be respected as does his owner aunt Bruni he came here took over a moribund situation they built this team from within via the ground the 71 draft great start to find a second [Applause] back to the original line of scrimmage not about a half a yard picked up so it's going to be third and the point I was trying to make a moment ago was that Howard touched on it earlier ken borough has scored 25 touchdowns in his career nine years and the average the length of a touchdown catch has been over 50 yards that's double oh he can really fly 6 3 at 210 bounder Pastorini puts him to the left ey two jobs on the slide [Music] mother could receive her Ronnie : right cheers of motion so the special offensive sent from the part of the Oilers pays off as for a first out of the 36 yard line of the Steelers no score in the game well Ronnie Coleman to kid you've got to respect Alabama in fact Johnstone where its quarterback at college he came in as a free agent nobody gave him a chance but he got action immediately in here Rickey produced immediately this is a good running back [Applause] [Music] christened in the Oilers their deepest penetration Barbara to the flag taken at the 31-yard hit there by Lauren tails 59 Jack ham there was a gain of five that is going to be against walls [Applause] coming in Earl Campbell averaging a little over 101 yards per game [Applause] here's our call offensive holding number 73 first down Gregg Samson the left tackle number 73 holding for Houston and it moves the ball back to the 47 yard line they're still adjusting the scoreboard clock we're inside two minutes remaining in the first quarter [Applause] - Oliver's to 31-yard a tip first down in 20 single setback commotion man double-o Kimber Oh Master in extreme taken by jackhammer but he's close to a first down down at the 26 yard line he may have it gift and we told you about carpenter he is no third-rate substitute he can fire up a team look at this again perfectly executed screen Frank looking right going left and with blockers in front of him he left his blocking group and cut back [Applause] 26 yard line the Pittsburgh Steelers [Applause] [Music] seventy-six down is at number 58 the Jack Lambert the end of a couple it'll be second down and eight while Pittsburgh as a matter of record you look at that graphic top rookie rusher in the National Football League last season 652 yards that should tell you something of the young man sir while Pittsburgh has been most successful on Monday night's winning seven and losing three Houston has in the past been notoriously change [Music] inside the 25-yard whenever the first [Applause] [Music] [Applause] just outside the 20-yard line short of the first down by about three four yards it'll be third a man who saw an interesting reflex that yeah a bit of cuteness and cunning on that trying to move the ball forward and then the sudden panic will I lose it will they called it a fumble so quickly he brought it back great young man not only a gift of football players the gun announcing the end of the first quarter a scoreless first quarter so the Steelers scoreless record for first four holes remains intact Stadium Pittsburgh after this the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers have only lost two games since 3/11 Stadium opened in 1972 Central Division opponents both event in 1774 scorn us as we begin the second quarter your honors have the football 20-yard line out of the Steelers camp a single setback number 34 gets the call fake [Music] Kaster gets to the 19 yard line first down good play action on the part of Campbell Pastorini tucked it away gave it to the big man acquired from the Texans you probably know time Crowell bowler for the Jets and still a lot of football player left in this man look at it again caster used to ruin this play for the Jets on occasion the thing about caster is he has an antelope like stride [Applause] with one strike first and pursuing defense mrs. but he's up there to buy a number that's the wookie from Eastern Michigan Ron Johnson but not until he rolls down to the 8 yard line where it remained 2nd and goal here's the young man he's 510 but he has a lot of qualities about him one being that he has good speed and he likes to hit he's a good hard football player very physical football player with all the Steelers [Applause] [Music] 227 pounds and can he accelerate he goes to the department is just a remarkable athlete to watch he's more than just a running back he's a great athlete and he had 26 yards gained going into this play so he's added notably to it with black bags 76 Morris Townsend haiman to make it happen accelerator networks to mention Motown's second yeah man from Missouri numbers eight kammo they're saying he got it in the end zone he brought the plane touched down Houston [Applause] yes headlines been right on the goal line and [Music] remains on the ground he was brilliant as he put the head down but everything he had into the enzone broke that plane that's all he had today let's look at it again getting a block from number 68 Fisher and collides head-on with number 29 Ron Johnson and Mike Wagner of all slow there yes take a look at it again it's just a run for a daylight play moving to the outside getting all zone blocking and then turning it in he's on his feet now yeah just up it went and Frank you've called two names and admission and right there is the reason for the Houston performance thus far tonight not just the excellence of the backs because they don't do it by themselves but the way this Houston offensive line is coming along this year is a positive thing of joy no bump Phillips and everybody connected with the Houston organization as you look at Earl you can sees all right I think he probably was just stunned I will not speculate but he's off on his own faith as always a good sign he gets the touchdown out comes Tony print [Music] head-on collision with Ron Johnson helmet on helmet [Music] the gamble got into the end zone it is on the scoreboard first and Fritch makes it seven to nothing Houston of the Pittsburgh Steelers all right look at that play again Pastorini the handoff to camp not the way he puts his head down bank that's what resulted in the hurt the football into a stomach I'll know it [Music] okay Houston leads will be back Steeler rookie Larry Anderson with 95 yards for a touchdown against the Browns last week awaits the kimkim Tony Fritz [Music] Brett Anderson [Applause] around to the 32-yard line nifty return all Tania that returned was made possible by number 38 Sydney thought to level the key block watch it again Frank and you'll see it that was the fumble the main thing hard he did not flip because he had a great off the right new cliff he let him set up you'll see it right here and that Springs Anderson to the 32 yard line first and 10 Steelers here comes Rocky Bleier [Applause] to the 37-yard line it'll be second and five the word on kampl is that he had the wind knocked out of him he'll be going back can I both fit perhaps a mild concussion because when he went to the well let me tell you they don't look in your eyes for the wind knocked out of you that's what we both observed when he was on the bench [Applause] good laughter this one to the right [Applause] [Music] the quick toss Franco [Applause] still instead to stop for the Houston Oilers so much to be said about this man in his career and it's not all that long he's now in his seventh year 29 games over a hundred yards only two players the history of pro football have better records than that Jim Brown with 58 OJ with 42 and Franco requestors keeps rolling along they run inside the run outside Cindy [Music] [Applause] [Music] the line of scrimmage actually that was the three setback offense that took the likes to go with so it'll be second down at ten will tie you this telecast is presented by authority the National Football League is intended for the private use of our audience any rebroadcast or other use of this telecast without the express written consent of the National Football League is prohibited scoreboard clock and the case number inside 12 minutes remaining in the first half the Oilers leading 7 nothing the Steelers have the football their own 40 I'm second to ten Bradshaw can put for the tide and most enjoy the first time you have to get to the 45 he did Brazil made the stop you know one of the reasons Howard where Terry Bradshaw getting off to a great start was the play the man we mentioned earlier Benny cutting Cunnings out of the lineup now he was super here until he was hurt a couple of weeks ago against Atlanta and he should be gone for another four or five weeks and Randi Grossman back in there now doing the other tight end of course a good player there Larry Brown has been playing tackle and he third in church frankly our systemic life those close to the 40-yard line offended by the flag is down at the line of scrimmage [Music] does little piece of work he came in 1975 got himself a quick 10 for season 76 they went back to five and nine last year 86 I first down he [Music] yes he has some great sayings been around football [Applause] in Texas A&M [Applause] first down a tenth ranked around quick [Applause] [Music] [Applause] sitting over there I believe the Sam Davis what a job Sam Davis is done a veteran of 30 poise surpassed Chuck Knowles expectations he's part of what I meant when I talked about the work of the offensive line of the steel is at the very top of the telecast remember they trade a gym plaque in fact they made three big trades and Steelers and they're all bombs this is a demon [Music] [Applause] right made the stop cause he did [Applause] [Music] and Bradshaw census it picks it up and goes right and anytime now they'll pay more attention to the dine end and Terry might be going to mr. Swann Sidney Thornton Rocky Bleier Franco Harris Swan comes out for the game in this particular set down stall you say the bottom of your screen in the wing position our first intent and goes to Rocky Bleier [Music] [Applause] I tamed Willy Alexander but not before he picks up a couple of yards to be second down today Frank has told you what we all know about rocky about the wart career about the six years of fighting to be recognized on this team does more to him than that he'll fool Yazoo runner he's had a number of hundred yard games and as a human being his work for multiple sclerosis has been just except of course we'll be having are they in New York City on second down and eight [Applause] the two plays that [Applause] superb [Applause] [Laughter] Alexander drags off of the coverage Lynn Swann is running a fast router down around one thing Terry Bradshaw knows as his squad is going to go for it with everything he's got [Applause] against the six points - tired [Applause] to the inside Alexander went all the way with the looked up some rats are rolling out left Swan six points the Steelers and we'll be right back and who would have thought with the exception of alumnus Chris Schenkel that Purdue at this point in the season will be leading the Big Ten college football coming your way on Saturday yeah at me soul that's the Stila scoring drive to tough teams notice how boys Pittsburgh came back from the Houston touchdown Willie Johnson is deep for Houston it'll be fun I talks in front [Applause] Gregg special teams player Thompson goes down at the 23-yard line where we'll be first and ten and Sidney Thornton number 38 Chuck Noll could be the best if he wanted to be and apparently Sydney does on his sixth touchdown of the season there's 36 perception having a superior [Music] first intent history yesterday at 7:00 apiece seventy-six Banaszak was there Dwight wide number 78 Vanna sak has temporarily beaten out Steve Furness though there's some controversy about that because finesse is probably the benefice Russia but Panasonic has proved himself over the last three years and by the way I congratulations to him and his bride bride on a new [Applause] [Music] this is Wilson Tim Wilson vanna's act as howard mentioned trying to maintain a job that he really took over when Furness was hurt warming up first game of the season who saw the sign we referred to her alia the Steel Curtain the ones who really fire up more even than join swans as pastor Amy look awesome site meaning of course green battle Zach Greenwood and white white change the football Barker's receivers will get a little sticky substance on [Music] [Applause] sorry sir [Music] [Applause] [Music] opportunity [Music] for the official true Doni shall now look at bomb he's talking to the officials right now claiming the ball was dead boss it's a judgment call and we've had so many of those this year looking for whistles and move ours [Applause] [Music] let's take a look at it again Pastorini drills it out to barber you'll see him then go into the arms of jack ham there he is ham all over him [Music] I don't think so either first at the 25-yard line of houston bomb is upset we'll be right back let's take a look at that play a moment this op-amp Felicitas upset that had convinced I think that this was an illegal here is Mike barber - knocks the ball on his bar continue the struggle for yardage he'll whistle had been blown the Stingers head of the football key point is that Volvo is still struggling for and we told you about playing this year he's the one Michela Picador three big man offense inside handoff 74 kidding Robert Brazil it's about a yard in the second and nine that's Donnie show good to see you buddy he's a happy man you know how to make room for him that's why they got rid of ed woods you know he's a lot like he used to be nothing but special teams like penny Barnes who were going to see against Minnesota Thursday night at the Dallas Cowboys that is so good both of them Donny shale you just saw Benny Barnes of the Cowboys they finally had to put them in there on permanent basis they earned it on special teams second at night gone back in because of Franco house [Music] inside the 30 [Applause] inside the outside defense but quickly he noticed that the way to go was outside and that's the one of the great things one of the keys to Harris's excellence now watch this gonna cut right now there was the block he took advantage of it and the quick acceleration a lot er it's good first then he was filling in a right when injured Larry Brown about the 12 yard line first and 10 Franco again number 55 the bottom charcoal about this time he'll lose a yard as Steve kinder the inside linebacker Dover DE force him out of bounds right in here called you said that was rape video made the block filling in for Larry Brown and unless one is a close student of professional football the name just falls by the wayside but not to Chuck Noland the whole personnel department of the Steel's he was that top draft choice out of Washington four years ago he's in his fourth year now [Applause] fantastic sure taking a page from the Steelers book come with the safety flex Mike for some crabs Oh to hurry the pass incomplete third down at 11 taeo Bell comes in he wears number 83 single step back Franco Harris so your receivers are Bell Swan and stalwart this one will be up in the air top of your screen in the slot [Applause] [Music] [Applause] in the end zone he drops the football fasik should have been thrown much better than that because he was really wide open terry has got to be upset with himself I can't believe I just saw a smile on Chuck's Noel's face just crossed his lips I don't know if you noticed there's the play again there's John all by himself perfect throw [Applause] he kind of caught a bit he again was concentrating on making - earlier in he's 6 of 13 on the year [Applause] [Music] we're told we made it in the first half that's the score will be back Pittsburgh takes the Tim 7 lead over the Houston Oilers the Steelers undefeated on the season the Oilers but the 4 and 3 mark they feel it should be better this is a man who scares life out of people a special team really watches Johnson returned a couple of kick in his career as you can see returned five bucks [Applause] but this time it's going to be Johnny there too [Music] watching Pittsburgh in this game certainly is far from over watching Pittsburgh you can see a team that feels so secure in its ability so sure of itself and there's the fulcrum for the team the hot quarterback Terry Bradshaw it's a swan he said Frank you know I had a couple years of being an also-ran [Applause] [Music] really [Music] [Applause] [Music] some problems in the early going I wonder Frank how much Campbell's been affected by that hitting gut when he scored the touchdown we've already mentioned that we observed them with the light too as far it when he went open the pitch was reported to us that it was just a loss of win goodness knows well we're not medical they've done a lot of fly swipes on the bench thank you much [Music] suffered in death after any [Applause] 82 have been quite a story for the soilless you might recall about 20 years ago we had a father played for the Cleveland Browns named ray Renfro now and the insurance real estate business down in Fort Worth and he has to be mighty proud of this youngster because he just tore up the Southwest Conference for three years at TCU breaking all kinds of records and he has become quite a little football player interesting the way they cut they were really lucky they got him on the floor you can steal [Applause] [Music] straining look somebody fixed [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and indeed he was Brodus control as Pastorini had to the flag is down now it's going to be roughing the passer as we look again the most difficult pass there is the catch right back over your shoulder but it was a great throw and Barrow shows his speed he's working against Mel Blount then you all know that Mel one been a great defensive back [Music] we're watching the artistry the Pittsburgh Steelers were penalized for roughing the passer defense personal foul roughing the passer number 31 first down Tommy show his hat three sacks on a thus far this year he was and defensive Belvoir they play that receiver very tight the pastor's not going to have time for releasing first and ten the ball that the twenty-seven castorini to the 46-yard line he's collected by jack number 58 and Pastorini down again in the arms of Dwight Dwight he really went down look at it again now faster Rainey watched white white milled Sam Saturday and down went Pastorini Pastorini 'he's often been accused throughout his career as not having touch and that's probably true when touch you mean knowing one diversifying his receipts [Applause] on that reception is second down into the ball at the 46 [Applause] against the cop please go slow first time Tim Wilson a second-year man out of Maryland he was a first-round draft pick last year at over 340 yards as a rookie mainly a blocker in Maryland and his organization thought this man can run a fit that as well they took him in the first round [Applause] the volga short of midfield [Music] at least on the scoreboard clock in the first half [Applause] straining one of the race pieces [Music] [Applause] burnout busting up a little bit there because he's upset flag is down [Applause] Philips with the Cho on his job looking on every Telly's Texas then dry there are three marks enough for now he'll give us the word offense pass interference number 34 first down they're trying to slip through from his fullback spot he's guilty of offensive pass interference down remains the same is first-come twenty the ball is back busted [Applause] caste was in the line use in this life [Music] Kaster over the middle he's open gets back scrimmage any drops immediately by Donny shale back to the original discriminate it'll be second down heli picks up nine so it'll be sucking down at eleven you've got to keep your eye on Richard Gaston when he's in there because he is a superb deep receiver when he holds on to the football he seems to catch the most difficult thorns are that was his history in New York second and 11 castorini [Applause] rabbit was trying to run the football in and of course you can't do that it becomes a dead ball even if it's ruled a ladder all the ball is dead at the point of work oh here it is it's a screen to Campbell Pastorini knows he's going to attract the crowd now bring in there offensive specialists on casting situation that means Ronnie Coleman will be the setback oh yeah a single setback four words cast as an idiot double zero [Music] to burrow under pressure in Pastorini is [Music] and was badly executed from Pastorini himself [Applause] distance sighs I say intended receiver Billy white shoes Johnson Pastorini lifts up sawmill blood all over Johnson ran out of the pocket duct it off fourth down cliff parsley will cut deep is Randy rootin along with teo Bell rotation forty Bell is 83 parsley hangs and I in a big deal bail from his 14 yard to the 26 a good tackle by art stringer or that could have been a long run by deal Bell we'll be back in Pittsburgh animal a Dallas Cowboys of course tied with Washington imme national conferences Eastern Division will be there if they go against the Minnesota Vikings is the little man he just keeps pulling the yesterday up Center for Green Bay Francis three touchdowns we look forward to seeing him against the Cowboys coaches the line of scrimmage number 65 Elvin Bethea at number 52 Robert Brazil okay Robert Brazil give you a pop hey well two-minute

own to the 30-yard line pickup before and it'll be third down and six Jack manda chat mine Jack Manders D remember Jack man does Frank you do yes you're old and I thought played against [Applause] having another big it just seems to like to turn on late Monday night games with the Steelers five times he's been over a hundred yards and of course that he had [Music] this is very same team there's two autos right Claire single setback [Applause] Willie Alexander on they could go to get even play because really he has to be embarrassed about that touchdown that Lauren got from a moment ago but you know he could jump like no one I've never seen his size Howard you see him on that obstacle course when he had him in the supastarz and I am network stops we learned that about them quickly can't blame him for dropping that one no not with Alexander all over good defensive play cold breath drastic that the students this year will punt Billy Johnson is deep [Applause] good defensive play why our upswing down there see there's also getting help from Larry Anderson inside two minutes one minute one second remaining on the clock that's if we can trust that clock I still don't really although

Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Frank's freezing I am frozen I borrowed your old coat under any circumstances Frank there's been so much talk about violence and football these days and the injuries to the quarterbacks we felt an important to talk to two key men on the subject which I did before the game Jack Lambert and Terry Bradshaw Terry do you think there should be any new rules put into play for the safety of the quarterback well I'm one of the few that had spoken out that I've seen enough rule changes in my nine years in NFL for quarterbacks it's something that I believe very firmly and strongly for the quarterbacks an athlete is part of a football team it's an aggressive sometimes vicious game and you have to be prepared mentally and physically to to accept that I know that if older you get the better in shape I think you should stay and I know Coach Madden at Oakland has said there should be more done but I I just feel nuts been said and that's been written about the violence especially against quarterbacks and they'll just let it lie and let's play football do you think there should be any rules changes for the safety of the quarterback well it might be a good idea to put dresses on all of them that might help a little bit I got called last week for a late hit on Brian Sipe and you know in my opinion it wasn't a late hit last Jack Lambert you heard a satirical remark maybe we should put dresses on them he's a tough cookie there's Terry you heard his views just two views they're not necessarily concurred in by many others nonetheless we thought an interesting because the subject is so topical these days on the professional football team we thought an interesting for you to hear their views Jack Lambert who looks Frank almost like a biblical figure with that fear Robert McCartney Heston reincarnated out there he doesn't play like a biblical figure huh yeah he is a very emotional player he's not very big but the spot he plays he came up second-round

that the touchdown they scored of course the biggest evidence as you look there at young mr. carpenter but I think maybe the most impressive thing at all from a ball from a Houston point of view was the steal is playing the play calls on the last series of good execution perhaps more than concern even packed a good defensive player the part of the Oilers she's a wholly inside breaks back picks up six yards he'll be second down in four and the thing about Euston they play the Steelers well you're in and you're out because they like the Steelers they're a physical team and if you're not physical
