1983 09 08 49ers at Vikings ABC MNF

and apparently is alright meanwhile Tommy Kramer and their win over Cleveland at heat exhaustion he was given fluids on the plane coming back at her Vania Slee so it has not been a lot of time to get ready for tonight's game three days for Minnesota four days for San Francisco and the 49ers have won the toss topping is Dana McLemore fifth round draft pick out of Hawaii last year not quite as gifted on the kickoff returns as he is on that return but he is back there also dropping back it's Carl Boudreau and Vinny Ricardo who got the job only a week ago then Rick Dan Meyer [Applause] SOTA went down with the back injury under with microscopic surgery on the back and he was out and any Ricardo who has been about a half a dozen teams over a career out of football a year ago will put the ball in play for Minnesota we're ready to go the Vikings won their first against Cleveland San Francisco dropped their opener against Philadelphia Dana McLemore from the nine yard line McLemore the big opening and McLemore good field position he is out over the 45 to the 47 yard line hit there by Rufus fest said so Jill Montana will have good field position as he comes out in the time that he did play last week he was 10 of 20 no touchdown one interception and they're lost 22 the 17 to the Eagles we'll take a look at the rest of the offensive unit the great win out of the flank is Dwight Clark and this is the man the Montana likes to go to when he needs to sure past 30 Sullivan also a deep man we'll also watch with all the niyama tonight the great hurdler a potentially dangerous deep threat as a pro receiver christen 10 49ers we'll put it up here and going out to Roger tranquility out of Nebraska and incomplete is Jill Montana let's take a look at the defensive unit for the Minnesota Vikings I like the 49ers they'll change it on a past situation they'll bring in a fourth man Randy Holloway but they opened over three four great outside linebacker is Matt Blair they're tough inside Scott Studwell big strong against the run coming off a ninja to kilise tendon but he did play against Cleveland they say he is a full strength tonight his second down at 10 49ers at their own 47 yard line vodka Craig the wiki second on draft motion in Montana finds the opening and he goes to window Tyler and Tyler up post to a first down he might just be a little short this again depended upon where they market Wendell Tyler of course acquired from the Rams last year with the 49ers so desperately needed to run they were last in the league in rushing the football and he has given them that he's given them a lot of excitement but he's given them some headaches because he came up with the fumble and the final two minutes of last week's game when they were in a position to win the game he hadn't fumbled in the entire preseason yet that continuing wrap upon him gets to him when the regular season begins or apparently so the continuing ramping that Wendell fumbles in Licht watch well not only did he does the fumble in the clutch if you look at his record over the last few years these bubble 21 time so he's humble four times more than any other starting back in the NFL so he does fumble but talking kid off offensive lineman of the 49ers a day they were a little disappointed that the 49ers did more last week they've been given a lot of criticism that they don't block well for the run and last week with the batch averaging over six and a half yards and caridy should run the ball a little more clear it down you saw how much Joe Montana looks it over honey has set the ball just about setenta that in spite of the concussion that he suffered last Saturday takes it in for himself he'll get the first down and we go back to window Tyler a little bit he has been that victim but I'll tell you what he does he provides excitement he scored 30 touchdowns in the last two years and he also had a scintillating 32 yard run last week he makes things happen out there yeah I tell you the linemen they love those great back to the dish off season at the group the linemen went to Walsh and said get us the great back and bill went out and got one of the better ones the pair of tight ends in now RL Cooper joins Russ Francis Roger Craig single setback Montana on top gets it out to Sullivan and Sullivan has the first down inside the 30 steps out of bounds close to the 28 yard line and ready Solomon now in his ninth year picking up where he left off a year ago gifted receiver their all times kinds of rumors to the effect that the nine is with trying to trade Solomon during the offseason didn't happen that he was traded in fact he continues to be as noted in the opening of the program one of the wise receivers in the league only 16 receptions a year ago though they have white Clark will almost parentally it's tough when you're not in Montana field is wide open in front of him wisely stepping out of bounds after a pickup of about seven yards down close to the 22 yard line is Montana John Swain came back to force it out juice I don't take you with me when I was talking to Joe this morning about being felled three times in the opening game against Eagles he said it was a frightening experience the only time in his life he's ever suffered loss of memory and he almost felt he can understand what happens to fight wasn't gonna play five years ago the other feel himself do days ago and we'll see how he goes at second monkey it was Roger quake good defensive effort as the Minnesota Vikings bows down over that left side that should put Joe Montana in a past situation to play with we brought in I talked about the Vikings getting a better pass rush than they did in 1981 last year over nine games they had 30 SEC's if you project that over 16 game season they would have given him 53 and in 81 they were one of the GU that didn't get up over the 35 mark they have 33 in 16 third chased out of the pocket could have been picked off by John Trainor Berner was the only up to 22 even near the football at Montana I think was trying to throw it away and he almost threw it too low John churna is the most versatile back that they have he can play anywhere enough foot speed to even play the corner a fine athlete beautifully built strong enough to play strong safety yet cute enough to be able to play precinct well you certainly can't play offensive or receiver but that ball was thrown right anything that's true 38 yard attempt by Ray wishing we made one from 23 last week he's 12 of 17 a year ago on the way through the uprights in the 49ers their first possession have taken a three-point lead with 12 49 remaining the first quarter is grave wishing rolling it through a year ago out of Stanford if you follow college football you know sensational career out there doing a little bit of everything in first-timers red wine a couple of years out of Nebraska both blazing speed set to kick-off of pushing [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] good wine way back and Darren Nelson wisely tells him to stay there that's his role to look up field and see if there's a possibility to get it out and he kept red wine so the Vikings 11 first antenna their own 20-yard line Tommy Cramer comes out last Sunday 22 of 23 22 of 23 498 yards in the first half alone against the Cleveland Browns becomes [Music] receiver running box hit Brown he doesn't talk to God be fair to 385 [Applause] [Music] splits out of the blanket Ramar on first down will go to the air low and incomplete - Sammy wife who was open for first down yardage out of the 30-yard line turkish-iranian for San Francisco again the 3/4 will watch the San Francisco 49ers worked with that Oh Jay already touched on the problems at linebacker missing are some good ones Bob orange act Gary vote [Applause] ronnie Lott the best never played this game second down and ten just take one setback right [Music] we touch down swiftly family to go he runs into a lot of 49ers over the right side headed by Grant Dean we will see moving in and out of the lineup along with Duane Forde Dean and board the best rushes up to 49 there was Tommy Cramer in almost the shear past situation and in comes Marty McDole the third wide receiver for the Vikings they have lecount leuco Mike Jones and also Sammy white they're four wide receivers and the tight ends come out des against you did not know it Jo Sencha their great idea [Applause] [Music] third and ten samer tried to sneak one in between a pair of defenders white Knicks knocking it away intended for Mike Jones that will see the punting unit for the Vikings [Applause] last couple of years I think he has something like 16 17 interceptions and he has been a super for there do Kentucky boy you read those numbers right seven returns twenty two point three yard average a year ago Dana McLemore I talked about him the opening kickoff he is really dangerous on punky jack he has a gift for cats and downy barold over there by Joey drowner the number one draft pick at a USC for the Minnesota Vikings good athlete gutsy play but very dangerous still he's the man who set up the San Francisco field goal with his first pick run will be back [Applause] on the Russian game that all of their mind it's out of their 35 the end of a couple it'll be second down and eight and when you talk about people like Tyler Oh Jay does carry the ball very wide but once players and it gets around the league that you cough it up a little bit they're gonna go for it every time I've every time to push mid deep it's like the Vikings they've been very opportunistic over the years and they're tackling the ball a lot of times but 49ers offensive line have done a super job over the years they know they're not gonna get there to recognition until I get and they would like to see the team run the ball more second down and eight what would you tell Wendell Tyler boy [Applause] flag is down Montana planted at the screen back to biking very opportunistic we read that beautifully again flags are down at the line of scrimmage what would you tell her when the Tyler will change you know I always throw to be different I felt a coach can't say anything to a bag because once you getting thinking about it he's gonna do it more I think until Walsh got one though Tyler window Tyler was a tumbler in college he's a bumbling pro ball but he gives you a lot of big plays and it's pretty much what you see is what you get you know but you start Tim when I fumbled I came to the sideline I didn't want anybody say anything to me side down remains the same then the second down along to course you'd ever crumbles even they tried to change I care to one hand just like time who never fumbled ask him about the sudden-death playoff oh you and your memory [Music] [Applause] breaks the tackle gets the first down now did you see Willie teal tackling the ball we could maybe get a replay that will see him Willie teal went for the ball by Wendell Tyler [Music] so you'll seize window leave first of all this is why windows so good look how quick he reads it on the McNeil's block he gets up feel it gets a lot of yards breaks the tackle there look at him go to another corner after the ball Willie deal trying to pull it out of there but Tyler gets the first down Minnesota side of the 50 wide open his nehemiah speech gets the first down good reception good pattern by the interesting thing about Skeets is of course a remarkable young man he doesn't even want to talk about track and field anymore it was all the greatest in the world and that's the pattern weather pattern ball speed you see the defensive back turned around immediately and was running away all because of needing respecting nehemiah's fee [Applause] give me a turn he saw John Swain he was to a full sprint the first time the 24-yard line Afeni soda the right now works over the right-side young-ran we've crossed some key parts juice why don't you explain and how Bill Walsh prepares the team for a game giving an X number of plays in advance of the game they must execute you watch yeah well it's quite unusual most teams will come in with a game plan and they'll try to pick on players on the defense bill Ross he gives the players a day that game the first twenty two plays at a game no matter what the situation is people took a play doesn't work he said don't worry about it but we want to set up something we want the defense to see it so we'll take advantage of it later second down and eight from the 41-yard except inside the country the end zone it's quite clark who just worked alone and a typical 49er play of 1981 Montana got in trouble athletic ability he got out of trouble Dwight Clark kept running across the line of sight until they got open touchdown 49ers all right I look at it from the end zone juice and see Montana and one of them value with the most valuable thing he has is his ability to move around and he throws to his favorite receiver you talk about a guy liking to receive it you realize he completed 40% of the third foul passes he's completed in the last few years t Dwight Clark so one of these been troubled the guy he looked for Dwight Clark and he did then Cavanaugh puts it down for Wersching where she puts it through the uprights and the 49ers are on top 10 to nothing 9 35 the first quarter [Applause] options if he at the middle wasn't open I think this was his side of the feel that that he could have ran a post pattern he may have been able to run a stop they do that a lot they give him the side of the field and take on a post pattern I'll run a flag I think I sure passed down they probably shoot them hoping will they kill point is that Montana knows how to read those options very well a great grade of Freeman we'll talk about that later Cramer a work from the shotgun a first down at Ted inside handoff we go to Ted brown big hole and Brown gets out over the 25 to the 27 pickup of seven Andrew second down and three evidence rank of the kind of dramatic rallies of the past I've been talking about for the bikes in 77 prima gesture rookie Niners late 24 to nothing less than four minutes to play in the third quarter Kramer and the leaf of Bob in the fourth quarter bikes won at 28 seven [Music] as the full-time job he took it over in the 79 market it retired at Fran's great records complete goes out for the first town and it is hurry look count who inherited that job when one of the truly great ones Ahmad Rashad decided to join our business he's very good at it we're going to take a look at the reverse angle as he goes to account the surprise thing is interesting being in 1979 the last cutter de 49er that came down between eternal account and who was the third round graduate to you before the blight bark and most of the guys on the team thought they would try to sneak walk through and people account [Applause] who the less stuff on the receiver coach for the Viking news first down and ten Minnesota their own 35-yard line Brewer is Kramer he's taken out of bounds for to the first down a pickup of seven and we're gonna pause five seconds and allow a friends at our local stations around the country identify themselves wabc-tv channel 7 New York Tim Ervin we big right tackle for the Vikings has went off the field he's been replaced by Terry County this is what Beth grant talked about this morning he couldn't do that last year couch desert rentboys deserted back up the township identities in a right tackle [Music] looks to the outside looks back inside and he's buried for a loss of a couple in the 39 yard line it'll be third down and five Bobbie Leopold in there first for the 49ers the 49ers I think they have surprised of the Vikings elope that they've been exclusively a 3-4 team over the last few years and they started this whole Drive playing for three they have four down linemen in there that's saw two uncharacteristic and immobile [Applause] a share pass situation for forty-niners adjust accordingly sixty countries in short supply on Ebates attacker has the first down to the 45 and that's what Katie brown said so well and that's the whole straight the real strength offensively of the bikes they've got for in effect equal backs magnificent as you look the endzone replay at coming out of the backfield whether go ahead you he came out at opulent uh Batgirl that's what they call a hot pattern his job normally is to pick up a linebacker they saw the 49ers were blitzing instead of him stand-in to picked up the Blitz they say just go hot to turn around the backside of the line and will hit you right on the other side of the line of scrimmage and that's exactly what they did they figured they can get the ball to him before the safety can get up the government first quarter the bike move down by Taylor on a glide mrs. Brown big opening outside head Brown down close to the 35 yard line he'll be about a yard short of a first down and now the Vikings have it on the move and when you can use those facts interchangeably accepts in different situations grant will use them you open up the run just as the kit is the case yet the fought back same question Ted Brown Darren Nelson Tony gall grade from Ricky young use young close to the goal line what they did there they took advantage of our pillars of being past Russia they just ran away trap play actually a good girl one Ricky young is in to get the cheaper but they tried with the trap up the middle and he's picked up quickly and taken there by lon Ferrari under 54 who is also seeing duty tonight because we've talked about a couple of times already Tina Turner is out of the lineup Bob horn required from San Diego years ago they wanted to play him on the inside he has a back injury so they are in trouble and I'm back in position at that time he was gone ferrari making a good flight there one maybe because of that our lack of a depth of my back I know they're not comfortable playing four of four three that round again gets through a little battles inside the 30 for another Viking first down starting off with a typical Tet brown day he runs the ball he catches the ball leading receiver leading rusher for the past three years as you can see they're just running a power play off tackle Ricky young normally comes in when they're gonna run the ball cuz he's the best block of they have in the bag feeling this is one thing you get when you have to play a lot of second unit defensive Club people normally they play second unit because they aren't the best accolades we got and the 49ers are doing a pork taco [Applause] and therefore three [Applause] [Music] first down batted away trying to get it to sandy white incomplete Jim Kirwan is back in the game now for Minnesota at right tackle he's a good man they need him he's big tough but she took over that job for on year [Music] superb job if you see that man right there to Wayne board I think he's the most underrated defensive player they got their Super Bowl year he was the only lineman that never left the game and as an example over the last three years in the games that he started in the 49ers of 119 a loss for and the game that he's not been able to play because of injury had won six in long 15 so I think he maybe therefore man down board on the left side and fret keen on the right side second down and ten [Applause] this call by the Minnesota Vikings Tommy Cramer if that was your name they would add gold tenth play of the drive is second down [Applause] [Music] with a good shot he had everyone in the past pattern he finds the first down marker juice is already told you the story of an account almost outlasted Dwight Clark as we look at the end zone replay but the point is everybody's known what counts ability his physical assets is superb his problem has been consistency yet he has moments of tremendous excellence and San Diego will attest to that when he beat them almost single-handedly in a game a year ago I think he's going to see a more consistent Terrell account now because he knows he's the starter and the past he's been a backup the 18 yard line [Applause] [Music] it's a couple of yards forty-niner defense [Music] right there you saw in evidence of San Francisco intensity that was notably lacking in the game against the Eagles yeah with your right because it I was in a meeting with the team this morning and Bill Walsh was pretty Vietminh saying he's tired of reading about the Vikings made a passing team and all their path patterns and all the things about the Vikings a new defense a partisan crowd because they thought the play against Brown should have gone apply was over-aggressive that's right but at the point I discussed quite candidly with Bill Walsh in the halftime feature piece that I mentioned in the opening of the program Walsh a charismatic [Music] who isn't afraid to touch on any issue in the in for speed second down a couple yards probably goes in motion all the folks in the back one of em has to be open and he certainly is Bobbie Leopold they're defending against the tight end Bob Breuer is playing with a very sore ankle but he has to be in there because in an instant earlier Joe Spencer their great tight end has probably gone for the season movie surgery I don't know they can make up the sensor sensor in many respects maybe the single most valuable player on the Vikings team but Brewer a tough hard-nosed and still young player out of Mankato State where indeed the bikes used to train but you can you can tell that the Vikings being a passing team like 49er players but they picked up fewer from the 49ers when they released them the same we're gonna one [Applause] get the first down he wanted the endzone flag is down and it's in an area where we could get a hold you know it's amusing Frank they talk about the one back backfill outside 49ers and they talk about Joe Gibbs and the Redskins and Joe Riggins what they don't say as we look at the replay is that how many years ago Jews was but grant using the one backpack filled with Chuck Forman [Applause] on [Music] remember that Frank oh he's got music for years he's the man who almost took away a game already won by Denver by using the hurry-up two-minute offense with about eight minutes to go in game Leah and used it against [Music] Earl Cooper the tight end was offside first down goal to go for the Vikings near the 5 yard line [Applause] inside the three actually prank on that up outside Sylvie there was a brawny lot number 42 was offsides and that's the value of Ronnie he's a big gambler you know he likes the Western there you almost made a great play in the backfield guess he got a little overanxious I think as this game goes on I was caught by less stuff Oh they're going to take advantage of some of his aggressiveness and try to run play actually passes better and if you recall that breakfast when we were talking to coach of Grant he mentioned that if week if he could take one person away from the 49ers v-fib can understand that [Applause] that will be reported as a finally they're not about the right side be short of the goal line so it will be third down goal to go this is where grant uses Jung in a situation close to the goal line a blocking be receiving and see a power running I think but is just a marvelous coach his idea to I think he said something this week that anytime is fourth and go for it I don't know if that would apply to a field goal versus a touchdown but they don't get it on this play [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] think about on the scoreboard Vic drive 216 here's a lot of time fighting offense though here in a dink there a brick there and the brick there I've heard that but I go there we expected a highly competitive game any Ricardo on for the conversion Steve Dill's a backup quarterback is the quarterback for Bill walked out of Stanford University we'll put it down [Applause] [Music] it's been perfect was father very late exit 1007 give it up sub what [Applause] [Music] Macklemore number 43 in Carl Monroe I have dropped for the 49ers Binney Ricardo with Detroit New Orleans Buffalo right WFL sevens [Applause] [Music] that proved himself that time he had an opening didn't take it ran into his own man down he went [Applause] certain honey was down hurry mind you coming up on Saturday college football and it's at its finest in Baton Rouge Louisiana Tiger stated before to slate led by the nation's leading scorer in 1982 Greg Allen they were a three and Oh last year right number seven by the UPI they go against LSU to top running backs in Dalton Hilliard and Gary James as clea koff live eastern side of the college football other region of game [Music] [Applause] first out of 10 Montana Dwight Clark Clark first down out of the 40-yard line between two defenders gets the first down what a beautifully thrown ball we should maybe a hurt low getting up as you can see might have fallen on the ball whatever daenam octina McLemore might have broken that kickoff Latisse in ransom number 88 couldn't block his man out and thus got in the way of McLemore it's hard to tell where he got hurt but on that play you saw one of great pass by Montana and one of the reasons why Walsh decided to keep Park opposed to the count his height decide that all would have been overthrown if it was theory in there he's holding his left arm like Clark was the senator on the bench he's out of [Music] a spark push down at 10:43 yard line [Applause] he is exciting [Applause] [Music] before John Swain finally collagen this is what I'm talking about this is why you get it back like we'll go Tyler he doesn't have to gain another yards up it's just it's sort of a counter up the middle what I've already told what blog Lee look at stoop to broken tackles and he just about runs away from the third guy now window Tyler now he doesn't have to gain another yard for the rest of the game the defense is aware of him now even if you say where did you see where that ball was than any 49 at all last year your point is well-taken they'll be looking for down whistles Roger Craig the whoopee from Alaska they like it a lot they got it in the second round tailback and a fullback at nebraska hurt for three games a year ago say they were able to get him in the second round and he has come in with a lot of poise it seems to pick up everything very quickly and he may turn into a another effective hunter for the 49ers who had none last year Walt's views Rajic Greg is the type of player that he wanted a draft number one which he openly confessed to me on sports bait he won the draft great James of SMU they got three at second down and seven the ball to the 15 little touchdown - Freddie Sullivan and Sullivan picked up and covered very nice Swayne was there it was interesting it sort of bumped into each other I was looking for a flag it really wasn't swaying position as you can see Solomon wants to run an in pattern he goes then plane is there first he normally you can get a flag on that they bumped in between that position he could have caught a flag very easily he could only make contact within five yards exactly yeah but he didn't make contact he had position [Applause] third down and seven tinks it off to Tyler and Tyler picked it up hard and the official standing right in front of it [Applause] [Music] and Tyler was the first guy to jump off a signal incomplete pass he would have been broken psychologically possibly if that had been ruled a fumble and for the second game in a row he had been victimized by it and importantly a fumble in an important situation I would if he would have been broken psychologically you look into the nuthouse along UCLA field [Music] [Applause] [Music] where's ink now - purr - just from 38 he's hit them 32 and the Vikings pull out by 3:13 to 7 for 36 seconds remaining in the first quarter a real nice 20 point first quarter under somehow I think we're just in the preliminary here let's watch this from the reverse angle that pass earlier to Tyler Montana again great athlete under pressure gets it off to Tyler and he's hit almost as he tries to put the ball away [Applause] so scalded pit really looked like he had let me tell you something my old new city he wants desperately to make good with three teammates and tremendous pressures on the coach of three touchdown passes [Applause] [Music] first time [Applause] to get it off the ground I believe the official who were watching now Darren [Music] go block on Fred Beans lined up in the milk spot back position and he tried to cut for a team we used to call it a drift block as Christine was rushing the quarterback from the outside and a lot of guys have gotten injured very badly from that defensive end to get me and the reason it's now an illegal block I'm sure Fred beam must have mentioned something to the official to watch them the best rules they change about three or four years ago because that end is really bothered that he's concentrating on the quarterback on the river really tear up at me second down and 10 Nelson bobbles it picked out by the 49ers the 49ers have it back good play by wide Knicks very alert but Nelson whether he crumble it in the exchange I don't know but he coughed it up and coming up with it was Dwight Hicks will see it from the other side with a reverse field camera looks like they're trying to run another one of their misdirection plays here he never got to hand on the ball was put in there we placed the golf ball right on the belly button Darrin Justin get up control of it first kind of terrible [Music] [Applause] top 13 to 7 about to trade right side and pray long-running gets down close to the 16 yard line for a gain of 5 it'll be second down and 5 Tommy Hanuman that flare there defensively for Minnesota good quick example air about Prague accelerates young we're looking at Russ Francis leave the field is his arm I guess he's hurt rear injured his wrist and he's leaving the Kill Bill [Music] broke his left hand early pre-season he's holding his right hand down and compounds his problem we'll be back at home side a 22 to 17 on Sunday the 49ers wanna drive following the fumble by Nelson and the second down in for the ball at the 16 yard line side hand off Roger Craig and break moves out to what appears to be first down yardage and we'll take a look at the numbers from the first quarter okay first downs one you down edge to San Francisco rushing yards notice a big edge for San Francisco they'll like to see that their head and passing total yards Minnesota one turnover which resulted in the president San Francisco position on the field threatening the score again Rodgers break the yard short of the first down so it'll be third and short Artie [Applause] [Music] Kippur the tight end in motion [Music] and bought in the surge again it will be dependent upon where they mark a window Tyler indicates that Frank picked up the first down but I think we're going to have a measurement Kraig was running what they call a 30-fold a little trap inside got a good block from Randy cross of trapping out on the backer I guess he trapped on Martin Delany maybe who's Dennis Johnson standing up there looked as if when he was cleared the ball he had a little more yardage than that Kraig will get the first down and keep the forty niners drive alive Roger Craig the fourth leading rusher in the history of Nebraska football was over 2400 yards and still the 49ers able to get him in the second round they turn out great backs Frank I remember when shoeless and called taeseop out the Scout Nebraska everybody wanted him to look good job as red wine [Applause] Franklin - a great way they'll be tough to handle they're good open field tackle by Tommy Hannon Tyler is one of the most elusive fact she will ever see in an open field Nataly Georgia what could be a first down of the one-yard line actually they started this play from split backs they put Tyler in motion which really in effect gave him a one back offense and he just ran a little flat out there caught the ball in the flat and made a real nice move on the corner they really handled that ball with one hand a little frightening lay you saw that too yep but if you take it away from him he may not be the runner that he you know it was tough to go out of my way second down - the first time [Music] right taken back Fred McNeill was there and Dennis Johnson Dennis Johnson putting the key shot on [Applause] and stop inside the three yard line so it'll be third down and a yard for first down he doesn't want to hear for the touchdown I'm sorry gif he doesn't want to have to settle bill walls for it's still another field though we've got a capitalized to the uttermost as Washington learned against Ally [Applause] [Music] - Errol Cooper in the endzone both Tyler and Montana hit the ball I found oil Cooper all along the Royal Cooper found a home you know they moved he was their former number one draft resins are all time they moved him to tie it in last week II Etta 73-yard touching sacks I'm running and you know he's a he's a four five sprinter and when he was playing till I mean four back he never looked like he was before five spinner at tied in he look what he is he's in the vein of the modern-day tight end the deep threat the kick gut pushing to the 49ers move it out to 22:7 over the Vikings we are going to have a lot of points in the scoreboard before the night is over tonight a sprinter goes from Olympic gold to NFL's 49ers with Montana to Cooper and a good call at once in the 2-yard are they needed one for the first down play-action Cooper all alone in the end zone deep our Jarvis red line and Darren Nelson red line 22 Nelson 20 set the kickoff of a worship [Applause] [Music] [Applause] short kick this time an opportunity to return and it be Darren Nelson as an opening in the midfield before he's taken by Ronnie line [Music] he saw that little gap wedge breaker and he really turned it on yeah let's take a look at it you know you got to give Darren Nelson a lot of credit but on this play you got to give to a whole returned unit credit cuz look at the wall they got for him out there that just opened up beautiful but that's the danger of kicking the ball short that's one thing the other thing now is the excellence of the play of both special teams McLemore said San Francisco up early on with a brilliant kick run and right there Nelson did the same and then other bikes a position thus far again and gift is ready to get out the Monday night [Applause] Darrin Nelson forty yard return we're in motion beautiful interception by Eric right stepping right Oh take it in and there are no flags great timing by Eric right it could not have been better slide line beautifully thrown ball he timed it out beautifully he looked like he was gonna be late getting there and he he took a gamble cuz if he wouldn't have intercepted the baller wasn't gonna touch down the other way 49ers are fired up matter of fact weren't you with me when we were talking to Eric's brother Eric of course went to Missouri and Eric's brother and talking with juice and me as you look at it from the ends don't look at the way he had positioned himself kept his balance and look at that just stayed within the side line cut back beautifully behind the block and all the way in for the score Howard telling it like it is it was not a good throw best the poorly County was open the ball was gonna Lubanga we're saying for the conversion and Eric Rida scored his first professional touchdown and the 49ers are on a roll in e27 - seven ball 13 remaining in the half array where she was teeing it up moments ago Tommy Kramer had a picked off by Eric Wright there's a third year man out of Missouri go to watch I tiptoed down the line a marvelous display of balance spectacular even if you're right that the ball was poorly thrown why would the great player right without a doubt [Applause] [Music] [Applause] without the 24-yard line will be first down in check let's take it again you see what count he looks like he's running on out and right here if the ball was thrown in front of him towards the sidelines you see the ball was thrown behind him and here's where right field a lot of athletic ability most guys would have ran out of bounds and if we let it go a little further down the sideline and good job I think the count pony had caught that ball it was that close here the 25-yard line first down in ten [Applause] like last Monday night the Redskins got a 23 degree lead over [Applause] [Music] [Applause] yeah rayma goes right back to throwing at kids unafraid one of his greatest qualities well I think what we've seen a little bit at this point if I could hold ability yeah that's gonna dürdane at this point on the what we're seeing at this point may be the value of an elaborate shot you know they change their offense somewhat without a month it was semi white woods [Music] not with 66 Farva shot was a possession receiver this year they've made Sammy white their possession you see but he may not be comfortable with that and even though their truck they've been going more do I guess the office look a little in just away at this point first down and 20 [Music] the plan he flipped over the 49er lost his balance and couldn't handle the reception we second down in 20 crowds beginning to get on the bikes but they'll change on a moment's notice riding an elevator of momentary emotion [Applause] dami Kramer of course had some well-documented personal problems a couple of years ago he really bounced back and had a tremendous year a year ago the 57% of his master date was laid at 15 touchdowns that there's only two less than the leaders Montana the 49ers in Fouts San Diego they had 17 what's up and down in 20 Kramer we'll pick it off now that was a bad job Dara was intended for Terrill account yards I think he misjudged Ronnie's a leaping ability Ronnie Lott was trying to give him an inch on look like a halfback once he got the ball maybe bang : four touchdowns already in his short career on in a substance Ronny got up there pretty good running with on all the basketball player two years in a row and a pretty good runner you can see their tackles like a linebacker you can do it they're the 19-yard line applied through everywhere look like thick rough Francis is back in there and either missed the counter with a little too anxious I'll tell ya ruff is despite the broken hand and the injury sustained earlier on tonight he's in the best shape I have seen him in juice and all he is I've known him before I made him all world a goofy with his peel calling know what so first out Kellen Winslow now of course but Russ is an absolutely superb shape with that compendious body he looks absolutely trim built like an earlier on Gifford first and 15 at the 19 yard line fifteen Studwell came up there so that's the value of a window Tyler he makes the offensive line look well even if they don't block well at the point of attack that play was designed they go inside and as he was coming across he saw a hole to his left and he just shot over there got little yard the depth for yards it'll be second down and 11 and although Nehemiah comes in Betty Sullivan goes to the sidelines and Nehemiah one of the blank spots out of the backfield I would presume now 60 yards on five [Applause] [Music] [Applause] around a little lazy pattern against John Swain and then put on a burst to speed but Swain was right with him all the way it'll be third down and 11 he's on ice though we see me of my coming out tried to make Swain go to sleep on this oj yeah [Music] I think because of the defense he didn't think he was gonna be the primary receiver because when he he should burst out of that uh you know how to the pattern when you make your move he said first and he didn't burst but on that play I show your value but when the window Pilar is we met a little bunt over the woman had three guys on [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Freddie Salomon diving catch touchdown 49ers in a a really are low tonight they are it's good good comeback pushing all 27 defense flying [Music] touchdown 49ers John Turner was holding obviously decline great catch by Solomon I saw the poll yeah huh they call that a wardrobe foul almost told the numbers off he at this point in the game San Francisco is serving notice that the Niners hopped back at this point well they look like they're good Super Bowl team they were we're seeing a mature through the uprights thirty four to seven and we still have almost 11 minutes remaining in the first half [Applause] in the end zone of the 49ers are lighting up the lights tonight what the Vikings are gonna have any chance to come back they're going to get bigger to get this first half over Nelson are both deep once again Washington rebels up along the down has taken their the stripper following that 40 yards returned by Karen Nelson Wersching advised not to kick away they took a little scribble on the ground and red wine was able to work it up to the 32 yard line and out comes Tommy Cramer and Howard was so right a while ago the guy is really cool the 40 film fast as it was that pottery and but grant has the air phones on Jerry Burns a brilliant offensive mind the coach up in the booth and Ahmad Rashad says to get the air phones but doesn't listen to anyone [Applause] the single setback for Minnesota a typical Minnesota Viking completion to Bob Brewer I know you feel covered but maybe he'll break it and it was no sensor for the past three years who have been breaking tackles you know what I think they're doing now and still trying to get it all at once they have to disk for a period what I'm trying to do is put a good drive together and just get down [Music] by the 49 is Brown short of the first down arrest the 41 yard line the orange here in the two minute on hurry up offense right now they're trying to keep the 49ers for changing their personnel and they will not go into the huddle and let the 49ers change the personnel they did it against ballots here a year ago third down and one [Applause] is a beautiful place Sammy what changed personnel was stuck with Prady trying to cover him and he beat prey a team at the line of scrimmage and so it's sort of paid off what but Grant was trying to do but once again they but the end they weren't able to make the confucian Kramer knew he had a new he had him for not only the first down but maybe big yardage that it brings up fourth down Greg Coleman on for his first punt of the night Teddy Solomon has dropped to the 49ers pretty [Music] yeah [Applause] the outside doesn't get it Bearcats call for executing 18 yard line and the 49ers will begin play there up on top thirty four to seven to nine forty two remaining in the half we're gonna have a busy eighth day when the jewelled Thomas option pass - Carlos Dawson on first down Montana streeted rather abruptly by Dennis Johnson [Applause] I lose a yard on that give us a tag team on the goal line one time I like this indoor atmospherically London hopefully after you come out of Washington where we have temperature of about 90 degrees down there [Music] washing behind door the lost of insider 13 looks at over it short hand off on the I formation to Roger Craig and the Vikings swarm all over it od four to seven 49ers on top of the Vikings highest scoring game in the history of Monday Night Football last December 20th gift and I remember it well charges 50 Bengals 30 for a total of 84 points we're going for it tonight what 49ers look like they're doing now he's trying to eat up time in the clock right her down [Applause] [Music] no taking out about the petty solomon very close but there will be no reception of mostly the punting unit of the 49ers now it's gonna be interesting right now hit the pass from the endzone ready looked like he had a good chance to get me maybe maybe his foot got out of bounds oh why this book sort of went out of aah it's gonna be interesting now his book grant did a smart thing on the last job he went to hurry up offense he tried to create a mismatch he got a mismatch and it's gonna be interesting to see how the 49ers counteract that on this next series of downs if they try it again Tom Morris acquired from Miami the offseason NetZero be a great Bunter Norris Amma's wonder Lucas best at his own 35-yard line and that's up to the 43 yard line so but grant spikings will have good field position let's mrs. Caffey I thought he was a good aggressive football player and said he was the best athlete on his teeth he happily just having a little trouble moving off the starters but you can feels good a rancher once I was here at gym Tunney encouragement defense five-yard still second down I think what they were trying to say was that they were trying to get some buddies here to call timeout because they had 12 men on the field five yards marked off for encroachment second down the 18 yard line we got out of the grasp of Charlie Johnson they've got a post to a first down he says he hasn't Joey Brown his problem we're told is with his left ankle how serious of course we don't know yet George nor does the bench they're taping it up look at that yards per carry the average fatale was so far as we were saying earlier you look at all your all-pro offensive lineman most of them up late the teams that run the ball will they're not gonna get the respect they deserve until they just stop getting criticized for not being able 23 yards flag goes down whipping it was Matt Blair the multiple all-pro outside linebacker who was all over Montana [Applause] [Music] also pick up the holding god it's a quill just about take care of they just as they would have got 51 decline consequently the holding is required of the second down at about 16 [Applause] of all mark inside the 17 yard line thirty four to seven the forty niners on top of the Vikings and the Vikings are beginning to show a little more hustle a little more pursuit [Applause] okay baggage almost goodwill [Applause] [Music] he's after for 22 yard line is going to be third down and 12 for Montana's Matt Blair was right there with Dwight Clark well I'm a Kramer a 19-2 exceptions yeah you know you just want to get back in there start throwing the ball a little bit it's really nothing you can say about a day like that yeah party's over bad day [Music] quarterback he's not going to get the intersection if he can [Applause] that's enough attendant for Tyler overthrown pilot is not Adalind I don't blame Montana for that he was under terrible pressure and indeed was touched by one of the past rushes as he sought to release the ball and must the errant throw pick up a first down Oris bobbled the ball saw that he couldn't get the pun off and he stretched down the sidelines and that is not his bag but he gets the first down and gets hammered in the process hot around the 45 yard line maybe of one super table that normally was a bad snap that punter called fire and he must do fire because the whole offensive line they didn't have to look around and see if he was running they'll get the ball skips to him you'll see the whole left side of the 49er office of wine wastes no time Randy cross the center gets it low he's yelling fire fire right now you can see John Aires and the guys they never look like they took off that way what's interesting this is one of those nights at least thus far that ball bounced right up into Tommy's hands and thus he was able as you said to yell fire and take off that's far the 49ers should be in Vegas [Music] Bunnel going a deep taken by Mike Wilson third year man out of Washington State it'll be mark 7 yard line let me tell you what a difficult chance that was it really wasn't one of the better foam balls Montagnards Boni he's looking for the ball over his right shoulder Montana threw it over the left shoulder and what an adjustment to the ball there as you can see he's got his man almost beat Montana gets the ball up right away he's looking over his right show and look at this look at this adjustment to the ball that's just concentration keeping right eye on the ball what a difference that bounce me after being set five Dallas Mike Wilson has been playing the tacular cats win the title wanna dance on touchdown worked inside Tyler using him almost like a basketball pick that to the outside in Montana was right on target and Tom Morris should get an assist on this touchdown it's taken in don't look at it [Applause] these just beat him he's running a flag pattern you can't see him on the screen with this FEMA right there at the right side of your screaming just he just plain beat his man that was a beautifully thrown ball he beat Turner some a scoreboard Wersching he'll be exhausted at this rate Donna gets it down where she gets it through the uprights 4:45 inning in the first half 41 to 7 San Francisco over pickup of about 1 yeah he's a problem with getting far behind and trying to break it on one run Tony should have stayed outside he wouldn't be would have got 7 or 8 yards he had no blocking but he tried to cut inside one guy and pick up some blocking to go all the way hurry up outfits once again second down and nine Kramer will be sacking back to the 15-yard line he could we was there that it goes back [Music] googly-eye offensive lineman when he gave to the 49ers but it played both offense and defense for Joe Paterno of Penn State Larry pillars of cause a former jet who played very well for the Jets but with the kind of talent they had they just had no place for those are the unhappy numbers the Tommy four down linemen for the 49ers the full funding of Tulio Lewis who was taken out of bound short of the first down at the 29 yard [Music] [Applause] [Music] for town but it's a little too early in the game for that 335 remaining an ass and outcomes about a great Coleman [Applause] so the Green Bay Packers mark the 45 points 1/2 back in 67 is indefinite jeopardy ready Solomon back for the 49ers at the lowest at the Coleman picks it up gets it off does not have to care [Applause] and he is taken there by number 58 best walk early ashley align back the rookie out of penn state that they're very high on here and Italy first down for the 49ers MGA carter stadium and they'll be back this Saturday looking for more fontana goes down [Applause] defensively for the Vikings Mullaney used to play over the left side they moved him over the right to cook duck marked on the left the sack started rolling in I think the 49ers came into this game obviously emotionally up they lost the game last week that almost to the man they felt they should have won and I think what they're doing now they're just a little flat you know you come up emotional I think the biggest problem they're gonna have in the second half to come out and play emotional football they rested on the intensity that they finally are showing the coach tonight second down and long draw play good time to call it in Rogers fake makes the most of it for the 41 yard line gain of about eight yards is play to be third down and eight the big problem coming out in the second half is going to be defensively at so many injuries that most of the second unit is already playing and when you get emotionally up for a game you get way ahead like there are now you always have the danger bug but not being alert the second half and more injuries with a 34-point Lane I don't consider that problems comparable to the bike going to be could not and not get hurt the second half it's hard to be emotional emotional in the game they're down a 41-yard line keep it on the ground when to tie the right side Tyler breaks tackled but he'll be short of the first down as he moves up to the 47 yard line and we're looking for the two-minute warning and located right now it really is but if it gets a lot of snow on in the past Amar's to kick off the Roofus best suit holds one distinction of having returned the only NFL front in the history of Wimbley stated in london against the cardinals in pre-season this year he went 76 yards [Applause] get it to turnover and best ball for it makes the Bearcats at the 15-yard line 153 now the smattering but a food will reap Tommy Cramer coming back into the lineup bikes have two timeouts remaining remember Tommy didn't like what he saw at one point in the first half he called a timeout you know how I don't say something it stuck in his interest came to me you know the Vikings did complain a little bit about the scheduling well I found it rope of surprising yesterday the day before game with only three days between games stay on the field for two-and-a-half hour we were both - first to Ted Kramer go up on time pills a 10 to 20 Galbraith go to the first time out to the 32 and we will not Seattle here there was a gain of seven it'll be second down and three [Applause] I'll make that point where in the normal course of the list most teams around the league the day before a game they practiced about 45 minutes the rest [Applause] he'll have the first down and again we will not Seattle Bobbie Leopold made the stop and the Vikings have two timeouts but we're going to have to do a little more than that to get it into the end zone 115 the clock moving although they Galbraith out of the backfield seven-yard pickup now if Cramer stays with the pattern he'll go back to Brewer on the right side I think they applause called a timeout maybe after this past but they're gonna have to do something quick to get them over to 15 49ers six defensive backs back to Galbraith gets the first down now they're only 45 seconds remaining in that if they stay in this pattern they'll reach the nine is 30-yard line it'll look good on the NFL stats so given the part that he called timeout and called two or three plays at one fire Tulio Lewis lost it for a moment that he comes down with it now market as another first down and they put it inside the 48-yard line 23 seconds on the clock starts memo it's a tenderly Oh Lois they're going to keep the park moving Lewis was in the grasp of Tim Collier fine defensive free-agent 49ers acquired last year well I said with this pattern that reached the 30-yard line they're not quite there yet they're at the 34 well that was a good call by the official because Leo Lewis's forward progress head had been stopped even before he went out of bounds you know Leo Louis's father played not only with Bud Grant in Canada but he of Bud Grant coached him in good grant said today he was the finest player he ever comes yep he's a legend up in Canada played for the Winnipeg farmers under bud he was also a great basketball player leon lewis his father and the youngster has cut in the mold of the father according to grant vikings they'd like to get at least something on the scoreboard at penny ricardo whom they brought in when Rick Dan Meyer had surgery on his back about 10 days ago does not kick the ball very far his longest kick in all the years and all the teams that he traveled with with 48 yards so they're gonna have to move it a little closer food this man Benny Ricardo great sense of humor I keep the ball I get the check for a field goal they're gonna get food anyway but I think they got to throw it in there John [Music] [Applause] [Music] no timeout [Music] good job good effort as a good play if you recall in one big game a Bobby shot they lined up like that the three guys went down field of view the guy's job to jump up and back the ball drop that's the ball to the third guy was to wait around and look for it but what they did it they did a little variation off it made a three game with that play winning the game [Applause] take a look at it from the end zone because this one's going to go up in the air eight seconds remaining and no time outs the short passes completed time the farewell expired [Applause] for the completion of the penalty they got neither one at two seconds we shy but you like to get at least grandma bought juice I disagree with you I think he has go for seven now I think they got a groin the that they can score seven and evidently you are I knew you were Ricardo is a funny kid you know Frank he's a rapid boxing fan and he said to me today what do you think will happen to Duran in the Hagler fight I said if the good Lord is willing and the creek don't rise he'll go to round [Music] and Ricardo puts three so now the Vikings only trailed by 31 and we're at a halftime any Ricardo features featuring this man [Music] you're right about that end of the Super Bowl four different times eleven divisional titles as River she bangs a deep to red wine we'll bring it out why not with a good effort out over the 25 close to the 28 yard line where it will be first down at 10 for the Minnesota Vikings it's the quarterback Ted Brown single setback that Sammy white in motion [Applause] bring down one on one but the jackal executed by driven a tight safety but not until Brown gets the first down and a 49er is shaken up that's what getting up is Ron Ferrari and that is one position the 49ers can ill afford to lose another player the very point that juice made give them is do gift don't take it away from him in the first half what did I say God the first half I said it biggest problem the 49ers would have would be coming out in the second half because there's soap in defensively not being emotional and getting guys hurt of course the power to put it all on you now [Applause] first down and ten all in the 41-yard line get brown got the first down [Music] Ramar with the Blitz on gets it out to bluer and bluer struggles up close to another first down they will market just short right at midfield speaking of cause Williams from the guy that Brugha beat on that pattern was Rick Purvis on his substitution a gotta 49ers cut twice in 82 but he kept hanging around he made a big tackle in his Super Bowl he called the fumble at the hands with Darren Nelson that would have been a first down and complete service picking up Nelson that was a bastard should have been cartons ami creamer and Darren Nelson both realized that if there is to be any vestige of votes for the bikes they've got to score quickly and start to get some confidence back in some intensity and enthusiasm well we just thought what we know is an excellent football player drop the pass we saw Sammy white drop a pass earlier I don't think it's because they don't have the talent out there I think there's a lot of sync which is a sign that they just may be a tired look they're down a one in there to block for this man Chet Brown he explodes over the right side for the first down inside the 47 and Ferrari now we're working on the ankle which is another good sign ankles over knees anytime [Applause] hustle back into this game so they may be dressing a little bit [Applause] three four they said [Music] Brown is an ocean all the people in the pattern in 15 is in the backfield and he'll get the sack of Tommy Cramer chased him out of the pocket pursued him and got him well what Fred deemed it he lined up at the linebacker over on the right side ie Pinson and the device went to a Novak offense the one back there back today put him in motion and fridges fired in there we suggested in the first half that the viewers look for that that Dean would be used some degree in the manner the chillin on foggy use AJ do it yeah sang him down and 20 another good time for a blitz with the 49ers drop into a for six-packs but they do come with the place Cramer looks it right in the eye and down he went the Mendes pressure it was Lawrence killers who is bright in Kramer's face SCOR cream was just having a tough day when he when he has time he's not throwing the ball well and this time he just doesn't have the time to get the ball awfully warm in any way in any event Leo Lewis was covered like a blanket by Eric was right it Judy was right in that you notice gift yep the inside linebacker on the lips third down they're guarded [Applause] is dropped into the four-man front once again it's the country back [Music] [Applause] family white was intended receiver and lot I think is going to be call for interference they was all over but so it seemed well Ronnie with brownie was a victim of having him covered so cleanly that time that he just could wait you know he was there he got elderly he had to do something almost got away with a great play now that was the case of a guy that's been covered too good I mean he was covered very cleanly [Music] contact number 21 right they did not call Ronnie Lott he did a great place where he could see right through first in tan the ball at midfield summer shotgun is Tommy Cramer it seems to work every time nervous made the stop that not until jet round have picked up about eight to the 43 yard line the RIKEN seems to be a one-man team every positive thing they do to look on the field and it's mr. Brown and [Applause] second it too we had the fish down and they're gonna mark it right at the 40 which go get the bike he's a first down ronnie Lott was raining all over him I thought that was a lucky play because I thought the bass was deflected yeah may have been but with what's disturbing here the only positive things yards they're getting is from number 23 is coming off the field right now my tear ground in a biking was something more than a one dimension often [Applause] the shotgun once again there's movement whistles blow the ball that issue just joined us it was an all San Francisco first half and at halftime they had totally dominated 41 to 10 when the early going now the third quarter the penalty indicated by referee Jim honey like stepped off illegal procedure yeah you looking at they call this time number 62 drew the defense say this is a business contract time for the deepest of line cuz you know state their contract certainly related to the sacks that they get right now with a lead like this they're just looking for the side those guys aren't even thinking run Ramar looking for Tammy in complete again good coverage provided by Ronnie Locke we third out of 15 Mitchell league baseball six to two Yanks lead Bruins Bob surely pitching White Sox off by themselves eight one over the Angels in the sixth luzinski and Baines had homers and there used to Nova San Diego the other games latest thoughts as you can see we go back to the action and the Gipper the ball at the 45 yard line Thanks it gonna win easy [Applause] third down 15 river back thanks to reception after 35 yard line correct myself have a second and 15 so that this will bring up the third down and five as we watch again 49 to plan a lot of zone and what my keys are finally doing is just taking advantage of what they're giving them simple out better than Collier this is like [Music] third and five the ball just inside the 36 yard line [Music] that'll be 15 coming in from the right side oh is he quit but we [Music] on that offensive tackle is purely and simply a great place yeah that would clearly speed that was look like you running a 40-yard dash Nellie PD no the relatively dryly so quickly routing every right note to relatively low weight ideally built for linebacker use in the manner of gay Ted Coleman was back in a punt formation you know I think of going for it here at this point of the game have passed the 50-yard line they haven't been there often and they're down by 31 but there's a lot of time get off ready Sullivan you had a quick look at is back for the 49ers Coleman or the corner he's going to catch it without his Dukas hit like bring it out to the 14 yard I'll be first down in ten xlix will have their first possession here in the second half they have a commanding lead a 4110 obviously it's easy to run when you got a big lead Roger Craig within the fresco right side man great running again very smartly out over the 20-yard line he does accelerate well too he does run well he really was just running good in the heart he ran right into I think if he would have been a little looser in your rookie you Chindi gonna be you don't want to courage to be flushed so one of our guy come up the taco you decide to run over him I think as the years go on he had a chance to sidestep is out there a little goodie we made these maybe a little more discerning in the future I think he's concerned right now he took himself out of the game he is flexing his leg on the sidelines ring [Music] in the offensive backfield now they got a yard so suck it down into his very first play in the ballgame and it looks as though he'll pick up the first down ringg start of the last three games a year ago running offense better you can get I thought your comment after the bill waltz piece was most appropriate he wanted them to get it together by midseason I don't think he quite expected this he didn't run out waltz - no he did it right after the interview oh you are such an inspiration of God after the interview he made the speech to the team about intensity [Music] first and Dan's of all of the 24-yard just under 10 minutes remaining in the [Music] your ring running nicely bounces off John Turner and it's a pickup of about eight yards Lily teal covering for John Turner takes him out about cap bill ring I think they picked him up from well Pittsburgh he came in he plays a lot like a old Rocky Bleier used to play the Pittsburgh day using what's like that I noticed 49ers is doing some substituting they got walked down he who was an all-american I guess have at Michigan when he played he's been playing guard mostly for the 49ers and with a league like lead like this I I guess they figured they'd give him a chance to snap the ball to Lopes just look at how the Niners have been using the first down second down and two [Music] two yard line the 49ers [Music] bill ring 510 205 pounder it's out of the 35 yard line for the first down at the 36 49 has really only have four running backs available tonight Jeff Moore's back in San Francisco damaged ribs from last Saturday's encounter with Philadelphia they're thin in a lot of places case you fans a wondering where after now tight end Earl Cooper is he has suffered we're told the mild concussion the natural aids on the side watching us Francis first down offended that gets to the 40-yard line for a gain of about three or four call it second down and six keep running the ball and running the ball chewing up the clock we're at 8:40 and counting down and the third clock instead this is the kind of football when you got a lead like this the offensive linemen they loving it cuz they're coming back to the huddle this North you [Music] they like this kind of football can I get two o'clock for the run it's tough get slapped around on the bass second and six ring flag is down ring will have the guard each for the first town but a flag is down in the backfield and I don't want to belabor the point but the Vikings look like a tire team in the ours I think it was a point well-taken the 40-man is happy extra day but that was not calculated they have a contract with the giant Stan's have priority on the Candlestick Park and they had to play their game on Saturday because the Jazz would play on their Sunday and there's also a concert holding in the part of the 49ers we partnered still in the right side second down and 16 for Montana this time the Blitzer particularly when you Claire Montana reads it dumps it out quickly to Eason Remsen the tight end who was in there now interesting this is the second game the juice is done by this Frank he brought us a 38-7 game the first time Miami over Washington and the preseason like that man in little Abner wasn't they don't put books now he has it forty one to ten what is there about you that induces these shellac needs I have no idea you see the fear though forty wonders hands up a buffalo [Applause] now we have paper cup coming out onto the artificial jerk this is helpful [Applause] [Music] [Applause] 8:13 now remaining in the third quarter Montana has a third down in ten [Applause] [Music] [Applause] look at those boots he has the first down inside the 43 yard line of the Vikings John Swain made the stop there but so with the Renaldo Nehemiah in this kind of a game it would not be a bad idea to work him a little bit what he needs is really the game work not the practice he gets during the week I wouldn't be surprised Bill Walsh did not try to get the ball to Nehemiah just a little more as we see the Tyler pick up the first down Frank is back in the lineup now pull back [Music] Tyler Tyler medical line of scrimmage and maybe eats out of yard the Tyler came for a couple of fourth round draft picks in the Rams offseason with Cody Jones I don't think windows too happy right there he was running the ball he was counting on his guard Randy crossed the kick-out and he was accelerating just expecting you have to have absolute trust in your offensive line when you're running the ball and you see a block that ship he made you you got to assume it's gonna be made and he has seemed at that time it got hit harder than it would've this is why the Jew stayed so close to McKenzie the Lord again he's piled up at the 40-yard line this side of a gain of about a yard and a half and probably one of the reasons he didn't stay with John Arras on this on that play and then 49ers are are that their offensive line is not ideal for running back you know they can run inside or if you can pick locks they're good drive losses but they aren't the best team at getting outside the window window and I spoke a little bit today and he likes one of those tweets a little slow getting out there but they do such a good job on the passes in the 49ers is filled first and foremost a passing team and they do a good job drive lock in the blocking inside we just showed a graphic Lindell elliott onetime Cincinnati Bengal the last man to [Applause] get along would not do that on a 4110 leave five minutes remaining in the third quarter Neil elshire we'll bring up fourth down and one of the heroes of the night for the 49ers Tom Morris comes back out to do the funny although he has definitely become a running ready who has the best goes back for the Vikings they wouldn't let him return once when he was up at Buffalo at Oakland but he started it towards the end of last year and he had seven returns at the end of the last year and averaged just under 12 yards with him and he likes it [Music] as I mentioned earlier with his best at a 76 yard return since the 49ers inside the 42 they're gonna let the clock run down they'll take the five yard Anneliese and now watch Minnesota decline it Illume the third quarter the fine 12 remaining in the third little withers June now this could be a catch-22 what bike ins will be flying this that's the 49ers nevertheless got 30 seconds off the clock yeah but I think I think that I think bill was a little smart thing there and where grant just wouldn't let him at it you know okay thank you 30 seconds no peeking you literally could do that all night could they see it a few more times before the night go good at blocking punch they go for it they miss arse however with a fine kick and he'll market inside the 5-yard line Horace Miami for the past couple of years outstanding at the 46 yard line of the 49ers down forty one to ten the beautiful crown better than gold look we don't see the count he just ran it up we'd be right inside that could have been six you pay the price oh don't you the Vikings the 436 remains in the third quarter [Applause] [Music] it's been tough sledding for the ball [Applause] [Music] [Applause] couple of tackles the South loves it as Nelson gets inside the 42 the 39 a gain of eight after he broke those tackle did you see the way Ronnie lot didn't look like he was trying to put him too bad into this new secret prank they said it all ronnie Lott hits the way dummy shell hits like a linebacker but he also has other gifts that the man has perfect speed for the corner he reads well he's willing to take the gamble he's not shaken up when he gets beat all cornerbacks are gonna get beat leading tackler for the 49ers [Applause] the single step back for the bikes Sammy why they'll have a first down close to the 25-yard line it's covering that he was wide open but there might be a flag on that play juice but no anyway he's got a great career [Music] 45 touchdown [Applause] screwed up to the happy [Music] County's no Lord Kramer did a good job of coming off Sami white with me all of a sudden Terry the count broke free in the end zone and that's one that remember the rest of your life as you can see Terry what he did was they but they try to teach backs catch the ball in your hands and this map in a time he should have started shoulders up there tried to smother the ball back it up it's that too long to look at it [Applause] second down again [Music] a bad idea to come right back to something [Applause] [Music] lose yardage back close to the 30-yard line was their first the safety man we're gonna pause five seconds of our stations to identify themselves Eyewitness News follows the game on wabc-tv New York Brown loses back to the 30 good defensive hustle by the 49ers a year ago at this time they were defending Super Bowl champions they went on to post the three and six record from Paul for those lofty heights last three Super Bowl was [Applause] 3015 full account account has the fall is in the end zone this is what you call it [Applause] the game like this you don't have to think about that one pass no game I'm a little happy for me it may have done just a little bit of a push off he was playing the ball all the way he played this beautiful they came back on the ball which is what a good receiver must do and that's what happened that 30 yard touchdown pass the conversion [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Terral account [Music] that's what they're down [Applause] nice to go ten yards on the travel for 10-yards and a 49er comes down with him yeah you prefer those kicks that go 10 yards but not on the fly Ron Ferrari struts out of the field of while ago comes down with the football for the 49ers we'll be back [Applause] akiza given the 49ers good field position 48 yard line of the Vikings 41 17 to 20 remaining the third quarter the 40 [Applause] movement could be the de 49er pulled a Viking outside rust Frances again looked like you and I think you're right eager think it was clear he missed all of the preseason and played sparingly last week so his timing has to be off a little bit number 77 so first our Jim Tony never changes great personality [Applause] for moving quickly laughs play first down and 15 Roger Craig powering back to midfield is second down and 12 you know big Bubba Paris he weighs in and almost 300 pounds it was the 49ers number one draft choice last year got injured and never really got to play for mush last week he added I guess a decent game II he got a little trouble late the game they took him out of the game in the third quarter I think mr. Hairston was one of the better defensive ends in the game but [Music] first hurt all last year [Applause] [Music] [Applause] sukkah Donna tribe Montana fires and his capito goes to Renaldo Nehemiah hooks up short of the first down by about a yard and a half I like the point you made earlier about picking this kind of game in this point in time to stop working to Nehemiah building his confidence and experience [Applause] Howard he's an amazing athlete down of the superstars championship a couple of years ago when he got into the weightlifting and he showed all those big old boys out of really number one a fine young man [Applause] the last three years in a row he's going to be held short of the first down because to come out of retirement harlot me to get my title back I think you owe it to in the first year not the first that was the year that old jokes don't freeze you almost drown wherever you are do we still love you no I think you owe it to it to Bartlow jr. to pay back some of that money I talk about it he came in at halftime he's one happy man and I know all the people in Youngstown Ohio we call it San Francisco he he's happy and set out that's for them [Applause] fourth down [Music] San Francisco is going to go maybe just tonic there was emotion that they did not call it um I told you earlier about the word Township the two coaches are doing with one another it was doing this week that uh that coach grant said no matter where he's gonna be on the field if it's a few inches to go on fourth down he don't care what he's gonna go for it but look who did it I guess bill has read the papers by the way mentioning it DeBartolo jr. I mentioned earlier he visited the bikes training complex today which i think is the best in all of football he was hugely impressed whether he said I'm gonna build one even better but I'm gonna have have to go south to do it San Jose 49 is using all the time they can they're going to let the third quarter expire that's exactly what they've done the Niners went to 17 as they cut because at one point 41 to 7 [Applause] first down 10 the forty niners with the football 37 yard line of the Vikings and this is Wendell Tyler Tyler barrels inside the 35 the gain of a couple it'll be second down and eight all right there were the halftime stats with flair domination and total the odds and note the turnovers three against the bikes in the first half time of possession relatively even at the end of the third quarter excuse me charm of possession still not a factor and San Francisco still with the audit edge ray washing started it all off the 38-yard field goal [Music] right or the forty-niners Raju cake right side runs into trouble over there [Applause] hey what has this always happened to me after he games now we've gone into the fourth quarter and I think it's been about a fifty point difference in the game but you can't foul up the one a week from Monday from here with us because that's the Dolphins against the Raiders in the Coliseum hey I know al Davis Tom floors and Don Shula won't let me down before it'll be third down at six [Applause] [Music] quickly to the tight-end Russ Francis said he powers his way to what appears to be a first down near the 25-yard line and it will be a first down for the 49ers Thank You bird along with Howard Cosell j7a virtually croakin Howard Cosell that teaches smoking those cigarettes we're lucky Dan Howard get this hit us flying in here yesterday and lost a couple of inches on one that only had three good week for our Don time is short feet there is such a thing as a survive [Music] that was an interesting experience humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis [Music] just got a turnover they have the football back at the old 43 yard line 4117 just under 13 minutes remain later the intended receiver Ted Brown working out of the backfield Jeb Brown is a typical but grant offensive back he did the same thing with Chuck Foreman was here foreman annually with lead in rushing and receiving tit Brown number one graphic in 79 for the past three years has done just that back to 1981 the last complete season he had over a thousand yards rushing and eighty three receptions check him out but he's bought a bunch of yeah yeah [Applause] second down and ten [Applause] second interception of an eye and then falls on it at the 40-yard line this is as bad a time as I've ever seen Jeremy cream a half and as you looked at him walk off the field he's utterly disgusted with himself nobody's perfect second interception up and I just turned the ball back over to his teammates the 49ers for a touchdown earlier from 57 yards out here in the 40 yards out of the Vikings Tyler piling up the numbers getting five yards through the 35-yard line there's Steve bill who else I think we'll see him particularly the 49ers get it in the end zone because I think the bud grant would like the vet bills work a little bit and also get the Kramer out of a contest that would be totally out of reach I think with the 49ers they're doing right now is they got a new back they count on him a lot I think they're trying to get him that hundred yards if he doesn't already have at this game and it's like you get a thousand or fact it's working on the event of it running [Music] boy they're tough man Tyler 198 pounder 10 remind you coming up Saturday Howard gets it all together for you on sports beat the emmy award show here on ABC we're going to talk about pro football's rich Dianna remarkable young man from Yale if with the dolphins left there wants to become a doctor and he's also going to take a look at the misfits and mismatches that plague professional boxing that Saturday on ABC Sports meet with the coach Howard Cosell works it out way back home there he's got a long [Music] down less than a yard [Applause] dr. Craig side come up short bread McNeely ten-year linebacker on the right side was right there to meet Roger break there's a loss yeah I think when we yards I think when does the little tyke does normally you would have taken that ball inside what they are really trying to do is get him his hundred yards and and then get him out of there but he's getting a little tired right now I think they wanted to get it on that play they got the six yards he to get over and written that would have been the last we were seen at window tonight this is interesting because where the ball is located they I guess kind of where she was range and the decision is to go for it with Julie the 4117 on fourth down to bring the frontier in Tom Morris and they brought in Norris and you'll see another penalty assessed against the 49ers and perhaps the Vikings will take this one I think that Bill Walsh is being a little kind here too because even though it may be out of rays of rains they may be a time as season he's gonna have to drive one and you would think that well hey there's no win in there you'd have a a better-than-average chance of making it but with the school being what it was I think that finally had a little more to do with him deciding to punt the ball you got a good point [Applause] rufus best will side of course because ours is either going to kick at very high try and bring it down inside the gym or he's going to look for the corner put a reverse spin on that ball and I'm sure he did it deliberately as Jesse Sapolu got down there to kill it near the 5-yard line if Don Shula is watching yes this is Tom Morris and ice currently last year [Applause] [Music] his fifth year completes it to another Stanford man this is Darren Nelson one else will have a first down to give Dill's a little breathing room but on 81 we saw him Howard remember he started the first two games but Kramer was hurt and it got hurt in our game against the Raiders shoulder injury and missed the entire season [Applause] but Ricky Gervais almost learned a valuable lesson and when you come up on a on a receiver you should wrap your arms around him because he tried to block him down and then almost spin on him to do the spin don't move it all the way to a good time [Applause] because Judas is also our first of ten Darren Nelson this to the 20-yard line again two maybe three yards call it second down and seven right now the most important factor in this game is that Tommy Kramer can't get injured he's out for the night subjected by his coach but grant he had a terrible night but Tommy Kramer it is a great young quarterback and this night will be forgotten yeah he is crazy Harper on that play mayhem excellent play ward off the block and made the tackle I think is the oldest 49er he's been there sick about shoveling for he's had six head coaches yeah okay the five kids value his wife walk second and seven the Blitz is on Dill's resist its one-on-one coverage of fires without complete pictorial account he gets the first down at the 30 yard line you can believe this is irritating to the $40 miners secondary they're trying to make it come back from what wasn't their best year last year and you know you look around the league who has the best secondary and kind a week or so from now you'll be reading the yard said that the Vikings are getting throwing the football right now and it's really sort of misleading secondary Frank in the lake I think whoever has the best office defensive line that's the most pressure on the quarterback Bobby Leopold took the ball when Tony Galbraith left it there boring and the 49ers have turned over to them once again [Applause] looking at the replay here galbart is trying to do I think it's just a little bit late that and come under underneath and that'll be listed as an interception old example don't even need a tip drilled for that what I tell you what when you're on the bill two and a half hours before a game the facts are the guys are doing most of the running then Tony Talbert is they certainly doesn't look like itself good at night you know one run is given what I thought was right [Music] once again I just think they retired football field no Tyler just floating from the line of scrimmage and he's one of those backs and there's so many of them were sitting at one tonight you look down and they look like they didn't do anything and all of a sudden you look down and they moved the marker and he picks up six yards Hey he's fired up now too because normally gets that slow walk with that wiggle going see the turbos over there by the one but right now he's fired up he went to the sideline our best bet so they told him he needed team yards here they have a hundred yard game in eighteen to one at this point all right now but he won't be in the game after difference he's looking for it [Music] he's got his hundred and he has the first down inside the 20 at the nineteen Walker Lee Ashley a rookie for Penn State is in there defensively now for Minnesota he made the stop in the meantime in the US Open tennis tournament even Lendl of Czechoslovakia still has not lost the second entire tournament he did away with the brilliant young Swedish player must be Lunda in straight sets look like they're gonna pad Windows stats a little more maybe event went to Tyler I'm surprised too maybe he's bad seriously more than seven minutes remaining in the game that's a now as Roger Craig upsides it he'll get four yards for the 15 the second item six by the way Frank you'll be interested to know that Jimmy arias defeated Yannick Noah in five sets really calloc know is one of the best-looking athletes I've ever seen did you see him hit that ball the other day between his legs I don't that just I know he shouldn't have been in that position but it was amazing [Music] don't don't don't that kid is getting better every time [Music] they were powerful enough to debug this time on the receiving end gets a couple of yards out of it he burned down and about four [Music] rufus dressed in there defensively now for the Vikings there was a time a couple of years ago when they thought he'd never play again he was in a horrendous automobile accident alive fourth in 1980 almost killed him dislocated a hip came back late in the season and of course put together a thousand yard seasons now he comes out he was in San Francisco he'd get an ovation tonight [Music] his paw Patrol does not get into the end zone but he has a first down near the one-yard line [Applause] at this point juice is still plenty of junk rookie out of Utah in all Monroe yeah I think both grant would mean that that tie in on the headphone that he told us earlier San Francisco by the way will play Sunday at st. Louis while Minnesota's game a week from Sunday will be a Tampa Bay we'll say Minnesota again December 5th but Roger Craig [Applause] touchdown 49ers CB garages first NFL TV that's the first one I got a feeling he's gonna see a few minutes they'll be more forty-niners he dropped their game 22:17 to Philadelphia last Saturday most certainly going to bring it even while the bikes will be one-on-one that was the big there was a tough the beef warm when you score a touchdown call it back for holding they get Tyler's fumble [Music] I was a tough one to lose we'll be back here in a moment the soda gets Detroit for the fifth of December we'll watch the 49ers against Dallas December the 19th again ball of course Monday night will be in Kansas City the city of San Diego Wersching to kickoff well sooner deep for the Vikings goes along do you think it all was working and it's tucked up there by Dave well you tell me how what how do you see that San Diego Kansas City game I think it'll be a close tough game Kansas City upset San Diego last year they've got good defense and they're at their best when they're passed Russell yeah they'll get an opportunity to rush I heard a lot about the improvement in the San Diego defense when they played the chest that very candid place I didn't see that [Music] two of them up here the 35-yard line pillows with the first and and he gets about two Marty but dole dole steps out close to a first down at the 44 yard line Marty McDowell second year a man out of Mississippi State good speed baseball Yanks beating Milwaukee 6 to 2 White Sox leading gallop two in a row for the egg silver don't walk Euston beat San Diego zip-zip Reds Dodgers fought Atlanta trailing Giants [Applause] [Music] [Applause] 45-yard No Tony Galbraith and people were all over galbart Ron Ferrari the principal defender there for 49ers what about the two they lost before these do we haven't see them you know this is I guess the worst I've ever seen a Bud Grant team play as you look at the comparable rushing yardage it's been a flat team tonight a tired team does not represent the way they'll be this year too [Music] get down a 10 for state bills [Applause] will feel it was Bobby Leopold who's had a couple of big plays tonight fourth year man out of Notre Dame the all-rookie team of 1980 when he came up as an eighth round draft pick and then he had a lot of problems injury-wise he had a stress fracture of his leg to bother him a great deal last year but he's filling in nicely tonight when the 49ers are hurting in line back there I tell you in last week uh they were hurting at linebacker also and they played good defense last week oh I thought they lost the game only gave up on his 25-yard rustling Gordon sixteen picked off once again Eric Wright gets his third of the night [Music] hardly ever make the hat-trick at the corner yeah I think it's apparent the 49ers are good but they're not this good you know isn't in zone replay enough the bikes just aren't clicking in that they're just that one step off the day a little out of sync it's pretty much the same pattern that he intercepted the ball on the furling play 57 yards for the touchdown only difference was he couldn't break it but as I said a flat tire team we've got guy Benjamin in now he was another Phil Walsh product out of Stanford that led the NCAA passing to think of the quarterbacks of Walsh he's touched Kenny Anderson with Cincinnati Dan Fouts inside the this young man guy bitchin they attack the airs off the bill ring on first and Jim every other day is Tommy and many of them waltz was the man who went up to Scout Kenny Anderson remember gift couldn't believe what an after he was we watched him play basketball that's right we stopped the double would top in a field running we had an illustrious career that bill walls did Oh better with quarterbacks second down and nine [Applause] ring bulls to the 40-yard line and the leaves guy bends and I'm at the third down and four situation this the most punch got against the bike since 1963 they come in the football if you'd if they come in the football not just about that we've done they came in in 261 they had that electrifying opening game victory under Van Brocklin so I can tell it's water back oh there's and that was a power gate after that is filled by Cosell for this is Karl Monroe the rookie out of Utah over the right side he'll be short of the first down bringing up a fourth down very tough break for a young man on your Yankee Steve Kemp who came to the Yanks with such great hopes struck down in batting practice today by an ohm amuri no line drive fractured cheekbone so that in is in a doleful year for a fine young man 49ers gonna let this dribble down at the two-minute warning [Music] Lucas best settle Banaras [Music] [Applause] tonight oh honey caught another one another chorus he probably would not accept a call from bill than us who believed was Don Shula's got a great one down there to tell you this ABC Sports exclusive has been brought to you by Nissan builders of high mileage high quality cars and trucks for 50 years available at qu Datsun dealer by Miller highlight the best beer for the best time of the day welcome to Miller time and by FAL Yellowpages a complete source of buying information with products and services and by IBM [Music] well look at the stadium a little empty huh yeah tell me about the Yankees if they got a chance sure they've got eight games left with the bird to Baltimore but bomb is back and the birds should seek to be the best team in golfer over the left side just out over the tent close to the 12 and gain of about eight it'll be second down to two in further response to you the Steve Kemp injury that I mentioned earlier the assumption is of course that he'll be out for the rest of the season its offense on the nature of the fracture you know that as a football player Balthus Galbraith will Lopes around the right side gets the first down out over the 15 yard line as the one time football clock also tell you our telecast tonight is presented by authority the National Football League is agenda for the private our audience any rebroadcast other use of this telecast without the express written consent of the National Football League is prohibited and they did not I don't believe what the replay is here at Minnesota [Music] inside one minute [Applause] into the Vikings our fix it over the left side just so close to the 25-yard line remind you again we'll be in Kansas City on Monday night as the Chargers come into town to meet the Chiefs and we'll see okay again a week from Monday night out in Los Angeles my hotel know and he will not jinx I happen to be a rate of season ticket holder for once I'll get to see a game second down and two as [Music] we pass going out of bounds we really thought this would be a competitive game I honestly didn't think the 49ers had a good chance here because with their weakness being linebacker I thought the real halfbacks would really take advantage of those guys that's our endzone manjo cotugno he's leaving us he's going back to school and we wish him well because like all of the other technicians to constitute our Monday night through his rendered invaluable service they're an else around the right side seconds ticking away and that should do it both Minnesota Vikings in the 49ers will go to 101 at a very young season and a very rewarding victory for this man chariot questions after last week he feels better than others at the same time
