1984 Week 8 New Orleans Saints at Dallas Cowboys 1st Half

[Music] Texas Stadium Irving Texas on a night following perhaps the most important political debate in many many there's a sellout crowd expected to watch at the game of pro football such I suppose of the nature and the flexibility of our country and tonight an important game as Dallas tries to play with st. Louis and Washington in the NFC East New Orleans within range of San Francisco in the NFC West this ABC Sports exclusive is being brought to you by the computer a business computer that's everything you would expect from any CR the Dallas Cowboys their 25th anniversary their silver anniversary they have an honorary captain for each of their games a season our colleague Don Meredith is down on the field right now nine years he played and I'll tell you he's got the scars to prove it they were the building days the franchise expansion days and being welcomed by the Cowboys of 1984 a struggling cowboy team there he is right out of SMU fresh smart bright didn't know whether he wanted to be a lawyer or a minister so he settled for the booth nine years you took the Cowboys to the first two NFL championships and he is flat a piece of work hello again everyone I'm Frank Gifford along with Don will be working with OJ tonight watching the Dallas Cowboys four and three tried to say both Washington and the st. Louis Cardinals in their division while the northern Saints they are really struggling but one of the interesting aspects of this game for me tonight there will be three Heisman award running backs performing on this field tonight Tony Dorsett of course for the Dallas Cowboys well he's an exceptional player he is back on stride again with two good games in st. Louis and against Washington last week even though they were losing efforts and and for the New Orleans Saints they got the baby Bulls or big bulls if you will they have Earl Campbell acquired in a recent raid and of course you have the great George Rogers the man who sets that record for a season rushing record of 2003 yards OJ Simpson tell us a little bit about these two back so Jamie are really something in the same backfield well I don't think you'll see a much in the same backfield of course it's not enough footballs and New Orleans are give them both the ball and neither one of them have been noted as great blockers in the past but it should be exciting when you add to the fact that you're looking at for the worst defenses in football and their ability to stop the run as matter of fact New Orleans is last there are 28 and the Cowboys are much better there are two places higher they're 26 but when you have big names on the field there's normally some other player who steps forward and becomes the star my choice is the night would be hokey guy John number 46 of the New Orleans Saints he's averaging over six yards to carry and he's had a habit of making big night zone on Monday night and on the Cowboys I would say Tony Hill number 80 he's been out with a shoulder injury he has a hip problem but if he can loosen up that here he'll I expect him to make some big plays here tonight Dorsett Campbell Rodgers Frank I think they're ready to run so why don't we get them started and here's a man who is ready bump Phillips has always kept this game in perspective during his seven years with the Houston Oilers and now in his fourth year with the New Orleans Saints and here's a man the only coach the Cowboys have ever had you've heard it so many times second winningest coach in the history of the NFL trailing only the legendary George Halas but he's struggling this year as are the Houston Oilers there was the first controversy that was gin dear and Alison has been building for over a couple of years this man came up in 1980 didn't throw a pass in 80 and 81 82 he performed well in a playoff game against Washington and Tom Landry decided to start him at the beginning of the season that did not sit well with a lot of Danny white fans Richard Todd a number one draft pick was traded to the New York Jets to get this man and then last week he started and all of a sudden bum Phillips win against everything he had ever preached about having one quarterback the second series he brought in Kenny Stabler the third series he brought Todd back he alternated through the entire first half some interesting aspects to this game the Cowboys to your left ready to receive Gary Allen is deep and it'll be Morten Andersen to get things underway from Texas Stadium on a cool night temperature 54 degrees we are underway and here comes Jeff McSwain and McSwain out over the 25 near the 28 yard line take it out of bounds there by Jimmy Rogers and out comes Gary Howe kaboom I told you he opened the season replacing Danny white all Danny white is done was taking the Cowboys to the NFC title game three out of four years Hoka boom had his best game of the season in a game we called for you against the Rams are opening Monday night game in that particular game he was spectacular over 300 yards 343 to be exact a touchdown and he was victorious but it has been a struggle the Cowboys have lost their last two on first and 10 Tony Dorsett over the left side moody creeping as he does so well and then accelerating as he gets out over the 35 yard line for a gain of about six defensively the Saints are hurting Durland more they're fine nose tackle has been trouble all year long with ankle and knee problems Bruce Clark also has that trouble over the defensive left in position there are your linebackers so we should see a lot of changes tonight for both teams the Cowboys seem to think that us our offensive line and ian has been trouble indeed B by many injuries will elicit a pose for you a little more into the game right now it's second down and four oh the boom back and looking and fires a shot over the middle the Coney Hill holds on do you talked about him in the opening Oh Jay he makes the difference yes he does he certainly will help them loosen up this defense somewhat the beef has have been much maligned for their inability to stop the run and I think they're thinking about it they actually had a corner brought back Blitzen on that plane and you see Tony Hill runs a relatively safe pattern a little turn in here had a little trouble grabbing the ball but he's been a rusty he's been out for the last few weeks he was out five games that came back last week against Washington he caught 934 yards he makes a different cowboy teams only he'll one first down and ten there was a mixup in the snap from the center Tom Rafferty and Gary Howe kaboom the kendo man is Kenny stapler proved last week he could do it alternating in the first half with Todd came away in that game looking like he could continue to play in this game now in his 15th season of course so many great years with the Oakland Raiders there was a loss of a couple it'll be second down and 12 and we watched two tight ends come in Cornwall the rookie out of USC and the Cosby of course is in there as the starting idea both of them both of them back to the original line of scrimmage and he is hammered there by Dennis Winston not one of your Heisman award winning running backs focused on right now you know they've been they'll say even though the Saints team is number two versus the pass in the NFL most people will say that well who wants to throw against them when they can run on them and it's a misleading statistic I disagree with that because they have 28 stats so that tells us something that tells us that they play some pretty decent path difference Danny white if he mentioned them Tom Landry made the decision a critical decision one was totally unexpected from Tom Landry to put him on the bench for holgaboon not third down and ten to the sidelines comes down with both feet gain of 15 and Dallas keeps their drive alive at the 32 yard line of the New Orleans Saints well tony is looking good right away I saw him in the warm-ups and it appeared that that get pointer had bothered him a lot as we look at it on reverse angle as captain Meredith comes into the booth watch the way Tony Hill knows exactly where that sideline is he concentrates on the ball he knows yet have both in bounds and he does it and he does it beautifully welcome back captain Don they had the first down at 10 Dallas on the move Dorsett he has the great speed to get outside even when the play is called inside and Dorsett turned what appeared to be a loss into a gain of a couple and captain Don tell me about your thoughts your memories as you walked out on that playing field well we'll hear you as soon as we get all of our plumbing taken care of give you a chance to consider that question I know how emotional you are second down and eight that marked it at the 29 yard line on Springs number 20 in there with Tony Dorsett those are the setbacks and Springs right through the middle and he break close to a first down down near the 21 yard line bring two came up in 79 has developed into a complete football player good receiver good blocker I think you're with us now Don no you're not with us and it is a first down there is Ron Springs fifth round picking 79 out of Ohio State had of a injury-riddled year as a senior but as a junior in 1977 he was the leading rusher for Ohio State first and ten the two tight ends again four Daleks Dorset inside the 20 hammered their girl and more underneath Bruce Clarke closing down from outside Gary Hogeboom he had that game against the Rams and then he also had a 300 yard day and a win over the Eagles but that was five weeks ago the Cowboys have lost their last two they haven't lost three in a row since 79 Dallas right now four and three on the season and the NFC East Washington defeated by st. Louis today is five and three st. Louis is five and three Dallas can make it a three-way tie and if see he's through the win tonight I play at this Drive and again trouble pulling away from the center by hold the boom then flags her down at the line of scrimmage well the defense moved the offensive move everybody moved but Gary Hogan boom I referee tonight is Pat Haggerty again a sellout crowd here at Texas Stadium capacity a little over 65,000 here Pat [Applause] indication was real I'm an area that was New Orleans walk side while they sorted out I'll tell you New Orleans and the NFC West is three in for San Francisco of course threatening to run away with that at seven and one here's Pat was Jim looks the right defensive and offside San Francisco seven to one in that NFC West with New Orleans the Rams of course we'll meet Atlanta tomorrow night we'll bring you that game the Rams of four and three Atlanta is three and four the New Orleans with the win tonight will move in to a third place tied second down and three it will be third down and ten Ricky Jackson one of the really good linebackers in football OJ was one of the best I've ever seen he plays run real will and last year he had more sex than any linebacker in football here at 11 let the NFL from his position does a super job of jumping jumping over the office of a blocker and getting into play are you with us Don hello hello football fans everywhere yes I am here it was because baggage did I tell you that it was gonna be tails call the cut off hey one owed me the coin it was both tails won the toss won the toss where we know the visiting team okay well it was tails practicalities there down and Jim and hoe kaboom run from the shotgun [Applause] and that will bring up fourth down and in all probability Rafael Sofia is off to another big year in the field-goal Department for Dallas Rafael's well before team has had a 52-yard of this year in a 51-yard er second most accurate field goal kicker in the history of the NFL trailing only Ralph Anushka if you watch some of the action during the course of the day a great game between San Diego and the Raiders we're gonna be talking about that at halftime with Jim Lampley from New York charges could have lost two key players fella Winslow injured and west dancing this we have 37 yard attempt and hope a bone will place it down yes he is accurate yeah it's 3/4 Donnell's from 37 yards out as they gone a sustained drive 948 remaining in the first quarter we'll be back in Irving in a moment right like I said this is a very flexible country we're going to be also with our highlights at halftime be bringing you a poll conducted by ABC News to see what the cross section of the country told about the debate interesting night very important political decisions perhaps decided and made this evening about the 18 yard line bill Bates and they loved Oh face down here a team up of a free agent two years ago from Tennessee and he is a heavy hitter was injured much of the early part of the year but he's back Richard Todd comes out they gave a first-round draft pick to get Ritchie Todd has not been one of his scintillating starts passing a just under 49 percent five touchdowns but he's had ten interceptions that's an average of one every 15 attempt the league average is one every 26 there's the offensive line this war two left tackle of course played for so many years he was acquired by the Saints just at the beginning of the season quarterback too close and he's off to George Rogers and there is one of the Heisman award winners and one has to wonder as we look at the defensive unit very familiar names if you follow pro football oj the feeling of George Rogers when they brought in Earl Campbell well you can tell he wasn't happy about the situation I think it's pretty well understood around the league that doing the offseason Earl Campbell in the second half of this season play up to the ability that he has that George Rogers will probably be creepy second down and six Rogers got four Raja's great running out over the 30-yard line he is a real horse well if he was out of South Carolina with that Heisman award and he is really something well if he likes New Orleans and he wants to stay there all he has to do is continue to run like this and he'll never get a roll off the bench I don't think anyone has ever doubted his ability to run the football they said he didn't block so well the catch passes too well but of course that's the same rap that they have on their own Campbell John is in there he'll be the blocking back primarily for George Rogers however running and this is a young man who came out of LSU three years ago and has really made a football player out of himself and there of course it's Earl Campbell back in I think it was 79 78 oj he came within 70 yards in Europe one season career rushing March of 2003 but he has been battered and beaten before I got the booboo girl out she came in the trading deadline he was in one series last week for the New Orleans Saints Earl Campbell was he gained 19 yards on five attempts daijaan got three at second down and seven rock to his left side again and take off Randy hind bye Randy white one of the greats have ever played this game looking to become a seven consecutive year all-pro we're gonna pause five seconds and allow our stations all along the line to identify themselves it'll be third down and one Cowboys I know all we're watching Washington and st. Louis today the game packed in here to Dallas Cardinals looking awfully tough Washington now 5 and 3 in the NFC East trying to go to the top is Wayne Wilson and no he did not get the first down that was a good defensive stand Alice are they second for the last against the run and the Saints are last I think I read that somewhere that's so unusual for Dallas team the most names have been running on them pretty well this year Dallas is 13th against the rush last year even having a tough season they were second and we have an injured cowboy that is down on the field and I think that's Billy cannon here he is number 52 the rookie first-round draft pick great credentials out of Texas am [Music] we'll be back with a further report on Canada the billing oh you don't like the building here's the we've got this man down here came up in 1969 I mentioned you we couldn't aside movie won't be a minister or a lawyer it didn't take long I got it figured out I really did Julie Kenan seems to still be down there kind of unusual you hate to see that anyhow very unusual in that short yardage type of play we'll get a report we'll pass it on to you as quickly as we can meanwhile let's take a look at what transpired around the NFL today that's the game I spoke of a moment ago Neal Lomax at quarterback for the Cardinals another big day have that been Giants they had a tie for a while Philadelphia Jaworski having a big day there and Boise Chicago and Tampa Bay that was close for a while in Miami 10 in a row over New England another big day for Dan Marino and the Jets Bill Walton has been playing there six and two now and Detroit in Minnesota Minnesota had that one in hand for a while Billy Sims by the way hurt in that game and in this game it was absolute what you would expect from the Raiders and the Chargers both Mark Wilson and Dan Fouts on target throughout that game it looked like San Diego it had tied it up at the end but they had a penalty on a touchdown scored and Denver continues to roll Danny Reeves a former cowboy as the Broncos going I guess to get out of the snow finally and Seattle and Green Bay Green Bay still in the snow we've got Seattle next week heavily against San Diego that would be a good ballgame 49ers rolling along their 7 and 180 Pete Houston Indianapolis Frank push watch the deflected pass fall into the hands of one of his receivers that was the difference in that game and everyone kick field goals out the Cleveland Cincinnati game and they continue to work on Billy Canady a great all-american great baseball player out of Texas A&M he was drafted by the Yankees and by the Dodgers and number one by the Dallas Cowboys had started playing a lot of part time duty at linebacker with Anthony Dickerson we'll look at the standings there of course is Miami eight no and rolling along we'll be seeing them a couple of times coming up we'll have the Jets and Miami right after the Thanksgiving weekend and the AFC Central Division well who wants to win this one this burg against New Orleans coming up a little later on it was prior to Thanksgiving and the Raiders and the Broncos are heading for a showdown they meet next week that's going to be that's going to be some game Mark Wilson was brilliant today five touchdown passes and in this division well the win tonight as I mentioned earlier and the Cowboys will make a three-way tie out of it Giants four and four Philadelphia four and for all these the sanding at the midway point of the 1984 season I got the Bears coming up against San Diego a little later on finally the NFC West third is San Francisco seven and one and I mentioned that Atlanta in the Rams will get it on tomorrow night we'll be leaving right after this game Billy cannon being take it off again we'll get a reward as quickly and as accurately as possible before we speculate on the seriousness of the injury Brian Hanson on to punt the fourth down for the New Orleans Saints Gary Allen blind return man for the Cowboys is deep has not been able to break one off this year but he was ventilating last year there's Gary Allen and is taken by the first man down for the New Orleans Saints and it was a hustling Rodney Lewis they've got their 41 yard effort and the Cowboys this board free on their first possession have it again head up Central Michigan five years ago Gary Howe kaboom six for 200-pounder they knew they had a beauty even though they got him in the fifth round is taking a long time for him to become the starter and he is a controversial one still Tony Dorsett on first town for a gain of about three it'll be second down and seven for Dallas that is something yeah they've been in the playoffs 17 constructed or 17 out of 18 seasons and New Orleans the best they've ever managed in 17 years is 8 Nate them Phillips got him to 8 Nate last year they almost went to the playoff they lost in the last second in the final game of the season to the RAM we might also add they that they had six coaches at New Orleans and the first 14 years of existence spring upside Springs hit at the 25-yard line and buried up to 24 and there of course is Ed Jones who is getting up there in age nevertheless having a good season for the Cowboys even though their big problem has been stopping the running game of their opponents and the Riggins with a tremendous game last week for Washington well the word around the league is not been there down linemen that has been their problem it has been their linebackers in a pillow to do get in there and make the tackle so I'm gonna talk to you about that later [Music] the Cowboys boom hangs one up high shoving and pushing there between Tony Hill I big Johnny pull had a case but no flag went down see Tony make that catch a lot they're really counting on the fact that Tony Hills back in there to give their offensive boost cuz everybody knows they haven't been scoring a lot of points yeah Huggy booms credit he started this season without Drew Pearson who retired after an automobile accident at Stony Hill missed six games and Butch Johnson was traded to Houston so he had altogether different receivers and the ones that Danny white with worked with a year ago you had a quick look at Jeff throat and Danny white doesn't get a lot of distance but he usually hangs it pretty high and he gets good coverage in got a good man matter of fact he also gets good bounces and it trickles down to just about the 31 yard line of New Orleans 42-yard punt zip on the return Danny white with the finest net cutting in the NFL Sunday night is not one of their better nights yeah that that grabbed at the end of the rhythm they really don't you know they lose it on Sunday but they had a chance near the in the last season against the Jets we had him but they blew it in the fourth quarter their second possession the New Orleans Saints the quarterback of course remains Richard Todd and this is George Rogers Rogers he's so strong the last time he played against the Cowboys he missed last season's game but in 1982 he rambled for 166 yards against Dallas and Earl Campbell back in 1979 ran for 195 yards against the Cowboys they came in here licking their chops tonight well I bet the air but once again you don't see the linebackers if you look at their safety they're making all the tackles and this defense the Flex designs the line back to make the tackle second down and four Rogers with pulling it he'll have the first down it's hard to finesse on defense you know yeah I get so when he starts but that's a known deep man that it's doesn't that that's kind of just go to get it I think you Ernest isn't down here has been little linebacker Bob Rooney Bob Rooney and his hint here and there has been talked that he was retiring there are people that are saying they would like to see the rookie from Houston gene watt card in there Lockhart is wearing a huge cast to protect a broken thumb if some people that he would say he's already retired yes yes there's some people there people like that everywhere though at the 42 yard line first down the wallet they trail three nothing 350 in the clock is moving remaining in the first quarter [Music] but this has been happening to Todd a great deal he has had a tremendous amount of drop pass ins at five against the Bears and a losing effort a few weeks ago last week he opened the game and was 5 to 6 in the drives that resulted in three points the first time the Saints had the ball but it could have been a touchdown and he had yet another drop pass it's frustrating and Richard Todd of ikana young man that's really affected by us second intent Rogers man they're pushing him around good running by Rogers as he could not go where the play was designed broke it back inside and he is up close to another first down wraps a foot short let's take a look at it from the end zone as you can see there's nothing there that should be a linebacker some way around he's nowhere around now in the NFL when a player has a suggestion for the coach he never goes to the coach he goes to his captain and wants to stay anonymous so I'm going to you captain Don that I had why don't somebody go to Tom Landry Andrea and say maybe it's time to scrap the Plex maybe it's time to go to the 30 we can get you Tina Lockhart in the games noumic would be better because we can play the guy in front of them and what makes the 35th goal is that no Florida name what is particularly the greatest Knowles garden became and Randi right now pretty synced to stop these teams were running on them is an experiment answer might be a teen winning season 17 out of 18 in the playoffs well there comes the time when they got rid of the single wing how much and I will talk to him one-on-one with Michael down Earl Campbell his first carry of the night and he gets to New Orleans first down inside the 30-yard line of Dallas an 18 yard pickup by this man who is well over 8,000 yards and his seven-year career for a big man this is something that they say George Rogers will not do well for you you will not go into the line and bounce out even though he's more of a straight ahead and runner Oh camel can do both as you can see there there was not much in the middle he took it outside and I think girls a little heavier leaves a little lighter I think he's around 230 pounds I feel a little lighter I think you would have seen him try to put a move on that defensive back fun game not great running backs New Orleans trailing by three first out of ten inside the 30 and that's guy John over the right side as a flag Falls and it could be a holding call it usually is when it falls in that position and it could be against New Orleans look like Stan Brock was trying to make one last effort to get ed Jones there we're free once again tonight bad hacker team the discussion is with Bob Rooney the defensive captain for the Cowboys all right CFA college football coming up Frank and a Notre Dame cobia SMU but look at that second one a couple of Southwest Conference power fill augsburger of course head coach now at LSU for so many years great coach under Don Shula defensively for Miami and you'll see it right here 3:30 Eastern Time at ABC and the ponies and the Longhorn single setback now is hokey guys John is first down and 28 following the holding peddling [Music] under who rose to Jeff growth and he makes a diving effort he was open in front of Ron fellows incomplete growth is saying that he did not trap it but the official was right there take a look again working one-on-one against Ron fellows this fellow's number 27 he was open its heard a little late delivering the ball around first bounce first math fellows didn't go for that little fake he's going deep so did it he just kind of stayed right there with him second down and 20 Tyrone young six 692 pounder from Florida he's in there number 89 top of your screen okay guys on eyes on is hit by Everson walls and dropped behind the line of scrimmage [Applause] Cowboys a tough time last week against Washington as they did two weeks ago against st. Louis they lost to Washington 34 14 and there is so much criticism about their tackling that was a beautiful open field tackle by Everson walls well it's too bad the Saints got that hole until at ease because when you got second and long this long you run a different type of running play you run a sort of an exotic running play which they were trying then their federal power running football team they're down 22 Wayne Wilson is in the lineup number 34 Noir a look at look at rich the safety blitz Downes was there and they had individual coverage and a good effort by Everson walls to save what could have been a touchdown to the speedster Lindsay Scott they got through one-on-one with the Blitz Todd had time to get it he just did not deliver it on target he'd led this man it would have been six it looks like he almost could have caught him slow down there just a little bit gives there was a chance to come across but it still hit him in the arms that was a good effort that you're right by walls that will bring up fourth down it's fun you know there's today with that you see all the safeties and everybody blitzing with water back with the same thing the core back those hey I for sure got man-to-man coverage back there and and that's really what you're looking at so Brian Hansen rookie from two Falls averaging a little over 43 yards into the night if there's Gary Allen Hanson looking for the corner he got it it's going to be inside the one yes what a kick that's the one you dream up he puts it out inside the one yard line and got 41 yards out of it doing so go Dalits leading three to nothing will take over inside the resume Watchers Timothy person and the Los Angeles when square off against the Atlanta Falcons live at 9:00 Eastern on a Dez rookie from Sioux Falls Brian Hansen who has just put it out inside the one with Alice will take over their third possession quick report Billy cannon who was injured in the early going suffered that damn neck region told he's been taken to the locker room he is going to be x-rayed there he will not return to the night's game and we will try to update that report for you Dallas Rita nothing with 1:20 remaining in the first quarter inside their own one-yard line first and ten Springs tries to get a little breathing room a good sob and again a reminder highlights coming your way at halftime Lance will be in New York for that and Peter Jennings will also have results of an exclusive ABC News poll on who won tonight's presidential debate just before the second half kickoff so stick with us through this very important political night Springs got about a yard so it'll be second down nine saw Dennis Winston dirt next Pittsburgh Steeler linebacker he's but hungers for that safety made a shot at it miss [Applause] remember Minnesota two years ago tony dorsett 99 yards he gets the yard on this one tony dorsett really has started to break out of a little bit yeah he had 81 last week against Washington against st. Louis again the losing effort 91 yards but the offensive line of the Cowboys has been much like the Saints offensive line riddled with injuries they have flipped their left tackle pause Derek over to the right side tonight they put Richards who would have started there over to the left side all that because Jim Cooper last Monday night the starting right tackle was on the way to the men's room watching a Monday night game from Denver and he absolutely slipped and fell fractured his ankle and his leg fall down and go boom Danny white has been very classy about being sat down at the opening of the season hasn't said too much not it doesn't really like it though here he is he has been in two games last week he came in and let the Cowboys a touchdown against Washington they also did the same thing against the Cardinals two weeks before he says I'm tired of being classic I want to play third down and eight from the shotgun of the moon avoids two points Antonio's wide-open throw away could he let him inside it could have been six he knows it too made a good move to get away from the rush file a bit more time he'll had him beat that's called throwing through the receiver a little bit too much instead of out in front of him and on comes Danny white and precarious situation they will not be able to go totally with their coverage on the punt because they're gonna have to be protecting against the possible safety or a possible blocked punt that could result in a touchdown there is Jeff growth he is inside Dallas territory Danny white again not long kicker but he hangs it up there for a long time and is very consistent moving the NFL in net outreach he cannot get that foot out of the end zone or it would have been safety it isn't very careful about it growth wisely their catch call for and made at the 39 yard line Danny holding right about his net average but New Orleans trailing 3 to nothing opening moments of the second quarter will have great field position the Cowboys 39 well an opportunity first and ten the 39 yard line of the Dallas Cowboys Lindsay Scott copy the screen he's the speedster wide receivers have been troubled by a very sore knee George Rogers Rogers pile up as he tries to take it to Eddie Jones and Mike Hickman they hold him to a couple it'll be second down and eight here are your first quarter steps and for New Orleans and Richard Todd Hebrew passing yards he had a couple of men open he had Scott open for what could have been six points 26 yards is not what you're really looking for and your passing game - that's the that's not what you call booming am a pitch boomer second down and eight New Orleans at the 36 yard line of Dallas God why is Tyrone Jung like he wide receiver from Florida takes it in from 36 yards out and the Saints take the lead and Richard Todd at pressure and very coolly and calmly fired the shot flags are down in the end zone we may have had a little extracurricular demonstration in there by Tyrone young or he was open he was just wide open went a little crossfire pattern as Frank said earlier there's been some criticism around here about the Cowboys the ability to tackle in the secondary and that's a good example of that I don't think it was 79 was it there will be no celebrations in the end zone well we can't have those I mean it and there is no 79 so is some other folks having a little bit of a problem here tonight I want to be I think it was one of the Saints and I didn't get the number and there are no 79 there's 89 it was Tyrone I think it was Tyrone also he went up and grabbed the goalpost and we've got a funny situation here we may have a bit of a problem we've dumped it that's what this happened before us doing this the one that happened was a I believe it was down into Atlanta someplace somebody hit the goalpost with a kid and knocked it over their diets against the Rams a couple of weeks ago that's where it happened so I don't know what they're gonna do now well daddy is trying to sort it out I'm sure they are calling the gold poles repairman they've got a rope there and they're gonna try to pull it back over John he's on a plumbing how they were doing it by a rope all right I told you they're prepared here in Dallas a they are eventualities and bumming fair look at bum that's horrific I know the guy on the right that's Phil Edwards who's the guy with the hat that a great guy he really is he does keep it in perspective he admitted last week so I think I made a mistake he was talking of course of his shuttling quarterbacks in the first half and some people that are questioning is giving away a first-round draft pick to get oil Campbell I'd like his answer about that they accused him of being in love with Earl Campbell and he said he loved his wife but he wouldn't give up a number one draft choice burger he also said he got Earl Campbell Kenny Stabler and Casper he says not because he indeed them because I knew that they were good football players and that's his answer is why you get an earl campbell when you've got a George Rogers in the backfield both pumps got answers most everything I think we have things straightened out now morten andersen comes on that's we don't merkins who does a little bit of everything they say he's a most holders and wife you see was a quarterback full merkins is all of that closely defensive back Peter Zack will snap it back and Anderson extended the DeWanna leagues seven to three there on top with 1359 to go here in the second quarter we'll be back in a moment Anabelle classics last game Dallas Washington clock ticking winner to the playoffs and the Redskins bang out a 13-point lead but this was Roger Staubach's last regular-season game and his passion for dramatic victory simply took over and dictated the results to desperation touchdowns and one more miracle from the captain of the Cowboys they wouldn't they would send me back out there was he not Jeff and Hazel oh it's wonderful to cowboy the quarterback debates they happen all over the country Gary Allen 31 Chuck McSwain 35 deep for Dallas Anderson to put it in play [Applause] making up a two yard line [Applause] and Alan over the 25-yard line hit there by Scott floor a pair of brothers in the game tonight Scott fluor a special teams player for the New Orleans Saints and of course his brother Steve floor is a rookie quarterback from Washington it's kind of a cute story Frank how they got here watch you see if you can put that together take me too long well okay we'll get it later Scott and Steve pull or 1st down and 10 and Gary Hogeboom at quarterback for Dallas setback Springs and Dorsett Okubo Cosby and he is down before he coughs up the ball for a cowboy first down at the 42 yard line a gain of 15 that particular type of pass is the reason that Landry gives for playing Okubo and not white there's very few quarterbacks that have enough confidence in the arm you see the linebacker right in front now that guy's looking right at the quarterbacks eyes but he knows he's got Cosby brought over him so if you've got compass in your arm the be able to drop that thing in the middle that's what you guys do but what Gary has not been doing they've been dropping here that many times he's got too strong than arm very company he also has a 6 6 duck Cosby corset look at out of bounds up here a gain of to get there first by Kovac and then it was Franklin you have to like Tony he has really matured this year quite a bit they've made him the offensive captain of the team and with all the controversy going around about who should be the quarterback he's been pretty stable about it he's played is right down the middle and it's a tough year for Tony Tony is a breakaway tight back he's averaging less than four yards to carry that's almost unbelievable he hasn't had a hundred yard game in the last ten games I got a second down here Oh Frank's gonna get that was going [Music] coming close to a first down perhaps a couple of feet short he was hit there by Dennis Winston they read that screen pretty well and in doing so well they really left uh Cosby were wide open coming across the middle I didn't see the screen set up the defensive players did but he had him really wide open you see what they try to do is make it look like that good deep pass downfield and drop back a little bit further they're setting up to the outside Ron gets it goes to the outside does come up a little bit sharp his first down have a third down and I played left in the yard and the tight ends come in Cornwell rookie from USC and they're with Def Cosby and the short yardage offense and they hand it off inside the springs and second effort will bring him close to a first down he was hip short of the first down and then bounced to an opening to his left and he is very close you're talking about Tony Dorsett while ago kind of keep it is keep it to himself I said okay who you gonna play quarterback he says if you'll notice behind my name Tony Dorsett it says RB that's running back behind Landry his name it says scorch he's it ain't my job and I like that that's the way my Lakes moving so yeah one of the things I think has happened to the players down here this year they got a little bit too involved in this quarterback controversy I know you feel this way I think Greg does suit quarterback is just it's an important position but my gosh it's not gonna turn this team around one way or another they got a lot of players out there well the Rams are proving that with Jeff Kent even though he's performing well for them there's the cowboy appear to get the first down Springs with a great effort bounces off and gets the first down keeps the drive alive this is very unbalanced what you're seeing right here the Dallas way all right go get him down low not bad for pound is not near an ocean all right sophisticated down here sophisticated they have a very sort of a low roller if you will wait I on first and 10 oh the boom in trouble and he just unloads that that was probably good move there he saw Orion precious coal box the line back was right in his face get rid of that ball again a reminder we'll be moving over to Atlanta right after the night's game to the Rams in Atlanta as both those teams try to stay close to San Francisco that's what New Orleans is doing tonight a man a week from tomorrow night Seattle at San Diego and one has to hope that everything is all right with those receivers coming Winslow West Tanner to San Diego both have left today's game against the Raiders aquila game who was with me injuries second and ten short set alright Tony D quick moves designed to go to the left he almost went to the carpet was able to maintain his balance and he picks up seven yards well Tony made up his mind where he was gone on that run and he slipped when he first tried to cut back to his right if he wouldn't cook he may have been off to the races as it is he gained about seven yards but that play was not designed to go the right was it that's I don't know sometimes it's a play that maybe was designed to go up the middle we ran a few of those in Buffalo we're off one way and you look to go the other way but he's run it enough to know pretty much what he wanted to do once he saw the deepest of Bellarmine third down and three Dorsett 24 yards seven attempts maybe pinched him rather well hope the boom four of eight boom or what could have been six is cobots stepped right in in front of it I don't think hugger boom even saw him well he was he kind of zeroed in on that side he only looked in one direction it got a little bit of pressure up the middle it looks like - well Russell ogirri had the easier catch and he dropped it all day that ball was not Bespin to adenosine to be dropped fourth down Danny white will come into the lineup and he was kicking from just about the same place Brian Hanson kick for New Orleans and put it out inside the 1 as Jeff Crowe back in guessing with Danny white Danny white kicks the ball very high he might just kick it straight away and look for coverage and that's exactly what he's done growth forced to make the fair catch at the 11 yard line [Applause] there is death rope that'll be first down in ten for New Orleans at the 11 yard line we're going to go now to Washington and join ABC News Peter Jennings who will really act for him just about like Tim Wilson did when Tim Wilson was with him in Houston and was just to keep walking back they'll run out of the I formation and Burrell from deep back there O'Day where you have run for so many times gamble they got a block some guy John and he was tripped up by Dexter Clinkscale after a gain of about three he got to feel that Earl really you know when one team Trajan and you go to another team it's kind of do a little bit something to you so you got to think that Earl really wants to make this be a good trade for fun he's played for Bob down in Houston and absolutely right and you like me they're coaches that I didn't enjoy like of course John McKay and loose Sabin and bum has been good for all runners and I'm sure he's this happy to be running in bum dropping 15 on second and power tackling bah pruning and Michael down were there and they held Campbell to just about a yard it'll bring bring up the third down and five actually it was down to stop the play and you you're not gonna have the best defense against the run when you're counting on your safeties to come up and make the tackle inside the tackle and essentially what he did there and once again we go back to you and I early arguing you'll end up with a lot of short safeties is right yeah I don't think they have the personnel to play the Flex defense anymore in their linebackers particularly [Applause] that's Rogers and Rogers close to a first down one of the things I think that good substantiate what to make correct that that is Wayne Wilson did he make it he did make the first damage this is changing what you're saying I think the flex defense Tom's had so much success with it in the past but one thing we think there's been some rule changes so I think that have hurt the Flex defense they've always been a coordinated account defense and the rule changes that tried to emphasize passing a little bit does not you know that doesn't really help so that might be something to consider but I think their personnel definitely lends itself to the 30 defense pride right right now at the 22 yard line first and 10 guys on guys on who came into the league three years ago at about two five and he's up now around 2:30 just on a weight program gets a couple yards and of course the dirt 30 defenses that defense where you have three down linemen and four linebackers that limits the responsibility area responsibilities of your linebackers so they don't have to worry about covering so much ground and I'll go back to the fact that I think Randy wife would turn out to be maybe the best nose tackle in football he's already about the best defensive tackle is second down and seven God man but he wasn't looking it is Michael downs who stepped right in front of an intended receiver it was gift growth trying to get deep did not even look back at odd he threw the ball and Michael downs was right there and he was certainly open market now I noticed I noticed the receiver John came was coming underneath growth you think growth felt he had a clear out pattern and he didn't expect the ball to be thrown to him I feel receiver coming in from the lip right here yeah 89 was Tyrone young do you think broke bill that he was supposed to clear out but young to come underneath because he never looked for the football certainly possible we got gas went down cowboy down I tell you what it makes the quarterback Michael towns and he is slow getting up she makes a quarterback look a little silly when he throws because the guy wasn't him there had to be some kind of mix-up and that could be it they've got a lot of times you said they got down to clean up that zone the other guys coming back in that could very well be what was Michael down first turnover they'll have a first time in jet inside the 30th New Orleans [Applause] Michael down gets his third interception of the season he's also the leading tackler for the Dallas Cowboys coming into the night first down and 10 808 remaining here in the first half Dorset right side rising it outside up tripped up and he'll lose the art they're not Winstone defensively you better have your Hillman on when you run - Ricky Jackson's number 57 side of the field because he dies diagnosed at play almost immediately he closed it down and he forced Dorsett to run closer to the line of scrimmage than he wanted to and Winston is Frank mention was the guy came up through the middle and double four stood his Winston limit off looked like he turned his ankle he has been replaced by Glen to read number 58 defensively there was the loss of two so it's second down and 12 polka boom with the powerful arm gets it out through the wide receiver Michael in throw and then Cole will have a first down to 20th reception for the Cowboys this year and of course he came to Dallas from Houston in exchange for foots Johnson who has now traveled on to Denver and is having a good season there did you see Ron Springs he was running in a cross pattern and he jumped up for the ball and was overthrown he was shaking his head like are you open prove it he looked up and the other guy caught the ball that's one of the advantages of having the patters where all the guys like ducks in a row and you get a throw it out there somebody's going to catch it 7 2 3 the Saints over the Cowboys the Cowboys on the move inside the 20th first down and 10 6:45 remaining in the half Dorsett darting back inside I gets close to the 15-yard line a gain of four it'll be second down and six Winston now back in the game defensively for New Orleans appears to be alright Michael down we're in gold has a slightly bruised back he's expected to be back in the defensive lineup for Dallas this is a has been in the past the tough Saints defensive team that biggest problem has been their nose tackle garland Moore's been playing hurt he's one of the best when he's playing healthy he's playing hurt so they've been having problems talk stopping the run Oh kaboom again that Surin fro checks it out - Ron Springs and Springs is met they're nice differently defensively by Kovich Jim Kovac plus I've noticed they've blitzed on just about every play the Train you just just don't get to the playoff and if you do make it to the playoffs you don't go too far in the playoff when you rely on the Bliss Springs got one it'll be third down and five hoga boom looks over picks up the snap and just recently activated James Jones is in the lineup from the 23 and basically after two years with a knee injury and that is Jones Jones circling out of the backfield and that Cecilia's first action in a couple of years he's had a very troublesome knee problem and he is going to be short of the first down but it's going to create decision time for Tom Landry and he makes it very quickly to the crescendo of boos from this part ensue crowd he sends out up he'll set the end you know Frank here's the booze but you also wonder there's a shouts of things criticized in the past for not playing with a great deal of enthusiasm and I don't know it's hard to criticize still they've won so many times in the past as we see Tom over the sidelines but a lot of teams you talk about they love to play Dallas cuz they're not gonna be very emotional they're gonna go out there to the plate later can eat 27-yard at 1000 go boom gets it down that is duck shooting range for sip the end one of the most accurate kickers in the history of this game for the Cowboys trail by one the decision to forego of worth of one come with Don Meredith anoche Simpson Texas Stadium sold out on this big night in political history here in the United States I mentioned at the top of the show I guess that is made to this country and also its flexibility they'll be going to Washington joining Peter Jennings at halftime for an ABC News poll on the of that debate and we'll also be joining Jim Lampley in New York for highlights of today's play there were some interesting games today I thought you were gonna say highlights of the debate will we have those two stepped in kicks away 434 remaining in the half Saints on top seven to six there comes Tyrone Anthony as Anthony is down inside the 20-yard line he'll familiar flag on the kickoff holding thank you and the things will be backed up Saints lost their opener to Atlanta this season and they went three out of four losing only to San Francisco and they lost her last two to Chicago and last week to Los Angeles twenty eight to ten holding number 82 on the return first down [Music] so New Orleans instead of their 20-yard line will begin their possession inside their own 10-yard line when we come back to Texas stating the Saints over the Cowboys seven to six 426 remaining in the first half st. first down and ten the ball gets inside their own 10-yard line Campbell is in there as the big setback let's put your TARDIS back God slide for the first down out of the 20-yard line good move by Richard that time spread them all out to the outside opened up in the middle and he takes off 13-yard pickup for Richard Todd seven years he started for the Jets replacing a bit of a legend there Joe Namath not a Pitt a legend for the jet fans came down to New Orleans Saints ostensibly to replace another one in Kim Stabler the jury is still out first and ten Earl Campbell straight-armed Everson walls and that's earl campbell dennis type first down well once again that's what they say he can do that george rogers doesn't do too well this looked like he was just he didn't have any place to go but how many backs can Bob in there and get outside how many back to think about it they say what George Rogers tries to do and that situation is get on the back get on the linemen back and just try to push in there where all the bounce out of there and get some big yards I we called one a Monday night game against Miami waiting with 80 or 90 yards doing that very same thing ever to walk like a schoolboy with that stiff arm on first down the walls don't have speed either in guys John goes a distance 62 yards this young man is a football player out of himself came up at this round turned into a strong blocker found a spot on this team and he is just ripped off a big one and who is over here jumping up and dancing I told you I told you and they can't run all the Cowboy's right well I showed you I saw you in the opening that show well yeah big names like you got three Heisman Trophy winners but I felt that this guy would end up being one of the big stars of the game we've seen him do this he did it against some Jets last year on a Monday night game and he's one of these guys that work and work and work and before you know it he does something big like that he's averaging over six yards to carry coming into this day it's amazing Kelvin Clark should get an assist he did a tremendous job on Randy white rolled him up one-on-one Anderson for the conversion the Saints quiet the partisan crowd here at Texas Stadium out of LSU Tigers should be proud of this one he to yard touchdown run by a Hokie guy Sean has really stunned the Cowboys beautifully executed at the line of scrimmage great block by Kelvin Clark no sign of middle linebacker Bob Bruni and it was a straight sprint for a touchdown I use a little fast within the linebackers of Dallas Gary Allen Allen after the 24 yard line let's take a look at the replay great blocking that left guard just beyond the center he's on Randy white he rolls him up out to the outside goes guys on and this was a big hole in there once again in the Flex davinci talking about it's designed for the linebacker particularly the middle linebacker to make most of the tackles they're trying to keep the garden center off of him where he frees him up hit those old that Vanbrugh knee hit the wrong home actually went by the hole and he got caught up in there but that's how he needs to go to 30 where we have less wound against the cover in the middle I'm a doctor by alright captain at the 24 yard line first and ten [Applause] wide open is Tony Hill at a $11 first town makes it look easy doesn't even Tony's out there they really have missed it you know what's wrong with the Cowboys is something I've been hearing for so many years it's unbelievable I think maybe what's wrong with them this year is it truly they just don't have them horses they they Bend in that quote quote building and rebuilding program but they've had a lot of guys hurt for jiggling that offensive lab but I don't know if they'd have that many good players I don't think they're as good as they have been in the last few years on first down Tony Dorsett Dorset explodes out over middle at the 50-yard line 14 yard pickup but he made a tremendous move on Ricky Jackson to get outside Ricky Jackson is a good open field tackle er it was a graphic we had earlier in the ballgame that saying you know Tony has not had a hundred yard rushing game in his last 10 regular seasons now that you know for a guy like this who usually kind of clicks them off that says something about that offensive unit well if they don't get too far behind I think you'll see Tony break that 100-yard mark tonight and in Texas Stadium he is at 100-yard game 25 times when the Cowboys have never lost hear when he's out of your game [Music] Dorsett gets three to the 45-yard line it'll be sucking down at seven breda park defensively there we come down to the two-minute warning a reminder we'll be going to Peter Jennings CBC News in Washington for an ABC News poll on the debate tonight and of course we will have Jim Lampley in New York hello thank you to make that little sign well I worked on it today [Music] Dennis Winston defensively against Tony Hill short of the first down and now we have the two-minute warning both Dame's have three timeouts remaining we'll be right back 57 remaining in the first half New Orleans needs the Cowboys 14 to 6 Dallas on and yet another drive they have a third down and three they're confronted with hoga boom on the night and I in a 14 93 yards or set as picked up 43 yards on 11 carries Renfro put up to the top of your screen as one wide receiver Tony Hill to the left and from the shotgun is huggable slide it into Jones Ennis and complete pretty good coverage right there that time Whitney Paul was the linebacker and he was not far off the ball was not a little bit behind Jones look like they go to punch Danny white comes out as we look once again same comeback the outside that's look that's a pretty big old boss then they're pretty close the fall is just a touch behind very catchable I would say but still a little bit more difficult than maybe would have had to be Jim Cooper went on the injured reserve today I mentioned he had suffered an injured ankle and a broken fibula in his leg in a slip and fall on Monday night James Jones the intended receiver a moment ago was activated make sure that make sure that his coverage gets down under it and he's got a piece of work here and a flag is down I usually works against the kicking team they probably had alignment released too early because he held the ball so long we have five-yard penalty here that's exactly what happened that's the preliminary indication from Pat Haggerty Danny I think really thought about trying to run that time you know he hasn't done it this year and I suppose people realize is that great little success in the past and doing that yes he's been 14 of 18 over his career on fourth down attempts [Music] down remains the same 1:43 now remaining in the half that took away a terrific fight wasn't that thing cuz that'll about the one or two out at the one-yard line they had marked it Geof growth now has stepped up to about the 13 yard line of New Orleans [Music] and he wide again looking to get coverage as he kicks his plate up in the air growth calls for the fair catch at the 17 yard line a New Orleans with an eight-point lead will have 136 remaining here in the half they have three timeouts first and 10 the ball inside their own 17 yard line that's the time remaining in the first half the plates on top the Cowboys 14 to 6 Saints 3 & 4 Dallas 4 and 3 [Music] Campbell and he bangs his way up close to the 20-yard line sup DN got the scoring underway here in Davos at night he hit from 37 yards out Richard Todd came back hit Tyrone young 36 yards for a touchdown they get a 1 7 2 3 Raphael step beyond got his own field goal to make it 7 6 and then the Hokie guys on stun this crowd 62-yard touchdown for the Saints to make it 14 6 that's where we are Cowboys have all time out they'd like to get the ball back down here we're gonna pause five seconds till our stations to identify themselves wtae-tv channel for Pittsburgh I never been down there I just curious how bump talks to a quarterback up and sort of cool and casual about it how we think so too you got yeah they don't have that many options of course they've worked for a long time this drain camp they've got their two-minute offense they may put in something a little bit different when they play it from one team from another but basically it's the same I would think right now after the Cowboys have call the timeout he's just saying we got to pick up a first down they're not trying to move it down the field at four yeah I'm a little surprised the Cowboys has done that day obviously a Tom Landry is optimistic with this I would gamble might have lost the football after he went down gonna bring up third down on about five as we look at Danny white who has to be troubled he took over from the legend I just saw back in 79 three out of the four years he quarterback this cowboy game they wound up in NFC championship games [Music] he has to kind of wonder did I do wrong well I don't think he did anything jiggly wrong I think what he's trying to say is this guy right here hugger boom is the guy that's maybe got a little bit more your raw talent I think and hoga boom does offense for this year Danny white has played with a better team over the last four years they've had a better team than they have right now certainly better receivers I mentioned earlier that gone for the Dallas game are Drew Pearson who retired Jonah Hill missed five games after going out of the opener against the Rams with the shoulder Butch Johnson who was a great compliment to kill and book Pierson he was traded Cosby also has been hurt a little bit this year that's the tight end that comes in there also and their offensive line you may have missed this at the top of show Frank I don't know but they've got so many guys that have been hurt this year that hardly anybody's playing the same position that they started the season that one healthy offensive lineman's of the season they were hoping they'd get hurt Scott back tonight we haven't seen me Cowboys use another timeout they want the football back they have one remaining in Wilson and it does appear as if Wilson will have the first down that should pretty much put it in to any of the cowboy thoughts about getting another possession here in the first half they go into that prevent the advance looking for a fast and that's just the pitch out swing to the outside good move by bum you know he doesn't have George Rogers in the game and he takes Earl Campbell out of the game he puts in will come with a 1 back I don't understand this New Orleans Saints are up close to the 30-yard line they have three timeouts remaining why didn't they call time why did they get the play off [Applause] this is cold now the hotel they'll think timeout yes they finally do they could have saved themselves about 40 seconds and also gives you an indication of how confident they are in their own passing game not much that's puzzling well girls got the feeling you can see that he comes up here the offensive line does a super job of giving him time you know when you don't get to the trace and you can kind of bounce around like that and get outside and as I said earlier hearing that a little too much weight now I've had about ten pounds off I think you to walk away from that guy scat back and be proud of fellows didn't even touch it well fellows was dug in you know when you're Theo cam well it's only about five ten you see a guy his size coming at you you kind of kick in you know what I mean you try to get down in the trenches and sometimes when you do you should pick up another pair I go say I wouldn't dig in let me tell you it's been a lot of defensive player the dougie and owner old Campbell did you see what he did to Jack Tatum on the goal line with his Isaiah Roberts in this class 37 seconds remitting they said the first and 10 their own 42 they have two timeouts remaining Wayne Wilson the setback for the Saints it to Todd checking off and they're assuming the Saints right side Steve Courtney will be forced to play the guard position after winning the starting center position earlier in the year that by injuries number 16 in this court that you saw movie now back to my five down will remain the same it'll be first in 15 with 37 seconds remaining in the first half John Tyson 82 tied in where the Saints comes into the lineup the Lindsay Scott number 80 Jeff growth of 86 those of the wide receivers side ends Scot is open and gets away from walls the thought of balance kills the clock at the 44-yard line thirty seconds remaining in the first half Lindsay Scott he's got that blazing speed we saw him make a great effort down in New Orleans in a preseason game OJ they would really like to have this number one draft picks back in action but he's been troubled with a knee problem but he can get it going and heroic and get back in form and they have a guy named junior Miller who had the potential to be a great tide in those guys performed this could be a great team remember George Rogers gross and we'll have another first down inside Dallas territory near the 43 yard line 23 seconds remaining in the half and the Saints now must be looking back on the 20 or so seconds they just let run off the clock they have one timeout remaining not much fancy but the thing he didn't do is he didn't go to the outside you'll see they're trying to protect that outside there little bit rod bellows was the guy defending he says we gonna catch it you're gonna have to catch the inside and use the timeout right so I met a couple of more great runners Gerald Wiggs yeah I'm a big fan of runners and you'll see a maybe the best in the game today in Eric Dickerson they're with the Rams and SMU graduate right oh you graduated a week from tomorrow you're gonna see one of the gutsy players I've ever seen Dan Fouts hung in there today battered beaten lost receivers hung in there came ever so close to the Raiders and of course they're going to go against the Seattle Seahawks that'll be a week from Monday night Seattle staying alive and healthy and perhaps the strongest division in the NFL the AFC West they lost well they lost a good run at Baghdad late yeah they didn't Chuck Knox has done a super job up there to keep them in contention playing super beeper he just wins wherever you go to the like that 44 yard line 23 seconds remaining in the they have a 14 to 16 one time out [Applause] Todd pride in Heights walls was in front and down was behind the receiver we've got that down that is down Everson walls made a heck of a move because this is almost face guarding because he knew that he was going back after his outside you'll see its Clinkscale actually Don who was down look at look at his hair was in walls though he knew that ball was getting close you think scale fell on the tide in Don theis he is slow getting up for Dallas every year every team could go back and say hey we were either decimated by injuries or and they're gonna have it it's one of the unfortunate things about the game and I don't think this is the team in the league that really goes with Adam but you know at the end of the season it's almost the team that stays the healthiest is the one that's going to be very close right there at the end these guys have an awful lot of guys hurt this year no winners only survivors yeah what San Diego you thought about that they have had so many of the guys hurt off and on all season and they may have a couple of big ones day earlier though maybe young man came up four years ago as a free agent just kind of fought his way onto this football team see it again you'll see Everson walls now he's allowed to do this he's not face guarding as long as he doesn't waive those hands around and there is Clinkscale coming right over John tight and he could have just fallen on Tyson perhaps had the wind knocked out of him he is now walking off the field and with a slight limp but I'm fairly certain we'll see him back in the lineup that matter whatever's in the walls that you see that came by there and actually is going to hit play still dude 17 seconds remain Saints have one timeout [Music] [Applause] well the Saints last year on the Monday night as you know they have never won a Monday Night Football game they appear to have had a game in hand against the Jets mashup that just came back in the second half and as I said they'd ever won a game over B then there's a first time for everything at the 44 yard line of Dallas second down and 10 join safety blitz when they come with etad reads it and fire at the Tyrone young job of catching that ball at that sorrow and will they use their final timeout I think they did yeah the first down is near the 32-yard line of Dallas Richard Todd uses the final timeout they'd like to try to time that safety blitz you saw Michael downs he got there little bit early and Todd saw it obviously saw that there was gonna be man-to-man coverage and Tyrol just came in from the inside he also could see that list coming he was that sup he was he took a quick look to see where number 24 Everson walls would be and then he was right back looking at Todd but the ball was thrown behind him it yeah that's the kind of deal that just stops the whole pattern the whole flow twenty-four-year-old get six-foot-six yeah well it's time for the alley-oop I would send him into the end zone and get the ball up high we know he can jump for the garland score not the goal pulled down almost earlier why they call him Scott dives up and down bill RC Owen time big-scale is back in the lineup slightly bruised five and now Todd with no timeouts remaining has 12 seconds his speed man with Lindsay Scott and he's not in there Tyrone young was flipped to the right he's the tall one six six ninety-two strain of death row that one would be awaited by Michael downs and Ron fellows interfered with his own teammate otherwise we'd had a Dallas turnover they all should not have been from so easy to see from up here but it looked like they had to cut our old Yahoo six foot six time Rome was at one on one coverage and it missed as if he may have had a step on ever some walls even though Everson was playing a deep zone but at 6-foot pitch to put it up out comes 14 Anderson he's made 8 of 10 this year he's three in a row of seven of the last eight his best for this year thus far 47 yards and this would be a season-high for more Anderson the attempt from 49 yard and a lot of accuracy seven to six leave the two seconds on the box will see the kickoff all right let's take a look at number 89 Tyrone he's six foot six you know they have one play left they have no time outs which means they should throw the ball into the end zone or hopefully over the end zone very busy I think also that probably Everson it's seen him throw the ball but I wondered how the heck he cut so when I didn't see it then I looked back to wait a minute guy can't be that open but evidently Everson had seen Richard throw the ball so with 2 seconds remaining in the half we will see the kickoff bindery we'll be going to Peter Jennings in Washington for an ABC News poll concerning tonight's debate and we'll also be joining Jim Lampley in New York for highlights of today's play they go get more and more of these kind of flags hanging over the stadium down here if the Cowboys don't do so this is the first time in 20 years that at the midway point of the season the opponents have outscored Dallas through the first seven game so that means two things are not scored and letting our folks do it so yeah well I figured that oh yeah the short kick we do not want the dangerous man returning the ball will they kick it in there short and we get the return from Norma Granger and that's the end of the birthday the Saints get it on big play the key play 62 yards
