1985 NFC Wild Card Game 49ers at Giants part 1

the key positions first there are the two Pro Bowl quarterback Joe Montana of the Niners and Phil Simms of the Giants and a mix-up the attack each team has a runner who's coming off a record-breaking season Roger Craig the all-purpose back for San Francisco and New York's breakaway threat Joe Morris they're going at each other today for the right to challenge the mighty bears next week in Chicago only a few NFL coaches have made it all the way to the Super Bowl it's been rising this morning and of course the qiyan giant stadium is always the win and right now the wind is out of the south at only 5 miles an hour bring us up-to-date on his physical condition what he said is last week against the Cowboys he injured his ribs and you can see here in this shot that he's wearing rib pads today it's on his left side right underneath that sit he said now really didn't bother him in the second half he said then he came out to practice on Wednesday and he said he couldn't throw he couldn't rotate so he didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday really hasn't practiced all week and he said he'll start today but he doesn't know if he can go the whole game he said he would rather have Cavanaugh in there at a hundred percent than him in there just a 50% from the Giants viewpoint their best receiver Lionel Manuel was out with a pulled hamstring NFL game some just week as we've done a lot of guys but he worked on Friday and he's out there looks pretty good too on the ball right now they'll see here Michael Carter comes off the nose and if he gets off to one side you just can't stop the guy can you imagine being a sinner and having to take that ball and snap it up between your legs and block to it but it's now he's a Pro Bowl football player and they want to get him the ball about 6 7 8 times a ballgame and they can get it to him deep as shown right here if they get it to a beef bill win the football game it's canards job right Joe you like the other tape I like the Giants are a home team that's healthy playing a traveling team that's banged up you have to give the edge to the home team alright so Dick Vermeil is going to go in his pick with the Giants to win it and Joe Gibbs how about you who do you agree with I had to go with the Giants I like home-field but I also like the fact that last time they played the Giants shut him out in the second half I think they have the incentive they don't like getting beat this many times by the 49ers I just haven't think there are too many injuries Jimmy out there on the 40 minutes all half they're gonna go the other way now for the first time since 1962 there's on the other hand have a more recent history of success the defending Super Bowl champions played the best 30 minutes of their 1985 season last week in meeting the Dallas Cowboys rarely have the 49ers showed such emotion as they did in last Sunday's desperate second hand but they paid a price five San Francisco players left or were carried from the field with injuries can bill walsh pieces champions together for another big effort today surely he must know that New York is ready giant fans have waited 23 years for this San Francisco 49ers against the New York Giants temperatures 32 degrees humidity 34% forecast is cloudy but the significant factor is the wind at the westin dome in zone at 7 miles an hour well we'll get a chance to look at the 49ers on offense first as Eric Schubert number three number three will kick off in the direction of Carl Monroe and Dana McLemore who is number 43 sherbert whoo not too long ago was teaching high school for $35 a day here in New Jersey he is the third giant place kicker of this year he's ready it will bethe CARLMAN the six yard line [Applause] rushan Elvis Patterson who has had an outstanding year as a cornerback for the Giants is down on the opening kickoff that could really hurt no coach bill for ourselves was concerned about his kickoff coverage he said he would have to use some of his starters there and right now he really has to be concerned about losing his starting left corner and Chet Watts number 21 has already come on and we'll take Elvis Patterson's place we can see it's at the top of the picture here he's gonna fall over Vaughn Horace right there you see him going down right there and it looked like he caught his left ankle or his left foot in the carpet as he went over Jim faughn horse and Patterson is still down and is still being attended to a mono special team on a national football league team the one that you can least play while you have any injury is that cornerback spot there's not much help out there it happened on the opening kickoff and watch number 21 will take his place and the 49ers certainly are very aware of that first down San Francisco the ball at their own 23 Joe Montana is starting at quarterback [Applause] [Music] we'll set the offensive and defensive line up for you Justin [Applause] and the pro-bowl hit at quarterback Roger Craig was the man in motion they faked a Broadway Montana flesh now ha fires a feel antenna for watch [Applause] ten of the quarterback Derrick Harmon and Roger Craig the runners white Clark and Jerry Rice wide receivers the front is Paris and fun horse the tackles ears in guy McIntyre and place the Randy cross at Garden Britt will in its center and run Russ races the tidy on second down and ten from the 23 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] to the right side crank up in the backfield gets back to Prague Harry Carson on the stop the giant defense McGriff Bert and Marshall up front the linebackers hunt reasons Carson and Taylor now they make massive substitutions the secondary as it stands now watch Williams Hill and canard there is Elvis person [Applause] and we're still not sure the injury is goes in motion heads-up field ten that gets it outside of rice rice is close to a first down I don't believe he got Montana's walking off one excuse me bad but one thing is that effects is usually [Applause] and the Nicholson now with watch starting Patterson out then they can't go to the nickel they didn't on that third down play this is as loud as I've ever heard this crowd Phil McConkey back deep for the Giants and makes run a girl fight [Music] [Applause] Elaine [Applause] the Giants will take over at their own 30 [Applause] [Music] Morris and Rob carpenter the runners Bobby Johnson [Applause] the wide receiver spots up front a unit that's largely unsung but has done a heck of a job this year Benson our doats Godfrey Nelson and Mark Bavaro the tight end and they're gonna have their work cut out for him today plant especially with the 49er nose tackle Michael Carter Carter goes about 300 pounds and he is quick manuals in motion since Gibbs Kamara's Amara [Applause] William sent in a lot [Applause] what they hope to be able to do here is the defense party and board the end Carter the nose tackle shell Ellison Michael Walter is Tina Turner the linebackers Hicks Laurie Nixon in place of Eric Wright Williamson in line to safety the word on Elvis Patterson is that he should be able to return he goes in motion second and short Sanders tomorrow dances in 249 return [Applause] of six yards interesting Fat Joe Morris was telling us yesterday and those inside runs he's going to key Michael Carter Michael Carter went to the right side now watch Carter will come towards us to the right side Morris starts that way now he sees Carter coming this way see car Burnett and if we was going to cut right off he's seen he goes back the other way for his funk right at him and they're going away from the way he slams there a few backs had that kind of ability there's him with plenty of time [Applause] tell you one thing about this giant offenses they're coming out attacking they started up Bill Parcells said we have to be able to run early one so that we can continue to run but two so that we can later play pass McConkey goes out wide to the right and Bobby Johnson has left give this tomorrow Godfrey peanut Turner finally made the stop Billy art also out in front of Morris Elvis nestled up and walking around right now it doesn't look like he'll return anytime soon well the word is that it's a mild ankle sprain think it's his right ankle say an underneath the cloud is if you know youth there they're trying to get him where they can tighten it up and get some support on second and seven Giants at the 49ers 31 to throw they're kind of put some pressure on it was antenna firm are went over his hand he was open so yeah that's one of the few things that Joe Morris has to have a tough time with is only being 5/7 it's tough to find in there in that pass and Phil Simms just threw it over his head that'll bring up a third down situation 3rd and 7 at the 30 Brett Deane and Jeff Stover come into the 49er decent defense - go with three wide reciever slap to the left honky over his head white Hicks this should just about be in Schubert's raise we'll be 47 yards and yesterday and talking to Bill Parcells I asked him what he felt the range was and he said somewhere between 47 and 50 that's where he is he may be in his range for his right at the end of his reign right Schubert is one of the few kickers in the league that watches the snap and the hole that's far enough pretty bad thing Aires coach bar settle [Music] like a bit of a smile it's three nothing the Jets on top with 1103 left to play in the first quarter three nothing the Giants over the 49ers the scoring drive 47-yard field goal by Schubert finished it off seven plays they kept it two minutes and 48 seconds the Schubert is responsible for the points ready to kick off now Monroe and McLemore back deep for the 49ers if the officials aren't ready that think you're right they got something after talked about before they let him kick the ball rent passion is the referee he wants to talk with some of the other officials and to Bill Parcells I'm not sure what's going on now well Bill Parcells said it's okay maybe were something about two o'clock I see what it is what it is the 49er phones to the coaching box are out there for when that happens the other team has to kill the phones to their bar so there's no communication now [Music] coaches in the box and the coaches on line drive kick off goes into the end zone where [Applause] we'll have to keep their phones inoperable until they get the 49ers to fix that's right and then you see Bill Walsh on the sidelines without a hitch that when's the last time you've seen that when the 49ers run offense chant watch this come back out and we'll play the left corner Patterson yet [Applause] heaven [Applause] on defense and no Tyler's in the or San Francisco Swach spots aunt Anna back to throw [Applause] like Clark the receiver and he held on and took a pretty good hit from Kenny Hill gain of 24 cents against Ted Watts here they they know that I think they were probably going to work on phantosaur on this side now that was a zone watch was up in his own and he bumped plugs short and then the safety Hill came over as a deep gun and Dwight Clark watson 20 hill mike wilson has taken Clark's place and that's Milton Paris moved on the far side of the field now here comes the [Applause] Clark was really rocked by Kenny Hill [Applause] violation Madison still trying to walk and if that continues there's no way he can play hey it looks like it's getting worse you know sometimes that'll happen you'll wait when you're warm it feels pretty good that is you stand on the sidelines it starts to swell up they're still looking at Dwight Clark down on the 49 advantage here is Montana fake draw [Applause] to about 2:45 Lawrence Taylor on the stop a gain of about 10 there were Wendell Tyler in there now fat bill wall said we have him active he just had arthroscopic surgery on his knee two weeks ago and he's back here playing today but as bill said if he can play we might as well play him early there's no reason to let him warm up and stand on the sidelines and put him in later said we'll want to get him in early and see what he does and you saw perhaps Dwight Clark check back into the lineup this is ratchet fray hammers for a 49er first down inside Giant territory to their 46 Watson made the tackle a gain of eight by Roger Craig yeah that's the play that we see everyone do now that counter Trey will see Roger Drake with window cleaner starts emotions Roger Craig will take a step to the left [Applause] Papa Paris out there in front of them made a nice flop Frances comes in motion this time Montana goes back to throw pillow was on a blitz Frances has the ball of a first down fire and hunt then Harry Carson on the tackle that was an interesting play here Pat - Russ Francis as he came in motion you see him here he's coming in motion now he comes in here and he fakes like he's going to crack back then he just slides right off in here and that's where Montana hits him he's a motion guy here coming in now he fakes like he's gonna block see him missed the block then he gets up comes right in behind that umpire and catches the ball second and one [Applause] Leonard Marshall stopped him short of the first down Marshall looks stronger every week well you know that backside end or the end way from flow is the guy that has cut back Frakes types away from start to his head now watch Marshall he comes in then he just keeps that leverage on him so that when he cuts back he cuts right into pit number 70 forty-niners made some offensive adjustments Solomon is in and so is John Frank [Applause] that prego think he got it Pat and Byron hunt was the next guy it's too far for washing that so max when ago the clutter is on McConkey standing back at the 10 [Applause] [Music] let's bounce and the 49ers are going down close to the one-yard line Rutger did his job the punt was only 37 yards but John Frank down it at about the two yard line we're all in John Madden where Giants Stadium where the Giants lead the 49ers three nothing in this wildcard clash Giants backed up to their own two yard line [Applause] there's Ronnie lot playing with that very tinder left little finger that was some description he gave us yesterday about what they had to do to get that thing back together well he really had it sewed up twice they slowed it up once originally sold - nailed back on that little finger and they and - finger back up then he had to go to a a hand surgeon and have it done again and the nail take it off and and the skin put around that phone and put it all back together he said the toughest thing since injury had been need the flight he said on the flight it started to swell and throb on him and said it bothered more in the flight than anything else he said he wanted to do it without affecting that finger next row he said he just wanted to see if they could put something on it just let it dangle there but he couldn't do that that's the series record between these two teams nine and seven five giant seven one since 1979 the last two years the last two debates particularly that really stung [Music] harder he's outside broke some tacos and [Applause] [Music] now you can pass you don't have to worry about the safety and you have room for your putter if you do get stopped that's the matchup we're looking at right now the 49er defense the giant offense it's an excellent rushing to defense against a fine running wild annuals an emotion and some gifts tomorrow Juarez not backwards and lost perhaps a couple John Hardy was the first fan to hit him number 75 the Giants haven't had a lot of position yet especially on this Drive but I thought they would go after Tori Nixon sooner they haven't really tried anything on him yet they've been running of course they've hit some passes inside but I think Tori Nixon is expecting them to come out of right now if I think that the Giants I thought they were going to earlier well Bobby Johnson is out in front of them now in a passing situation showing which they give Tabares instead of Morris gets to about the 16 picks up three perhaps Ricky Allison and Jeff Stover last week well that's some effort at him 36 carries 202 yards second-highest in team history missed the record by four yards yes you see Joe Morris run off you say is 5-7 195 pounds how does he do that how does he make the Pro Bowl he has very strong leg he's the second strongest squat guy on the team launched over 500 pounds very strong upper body to the high snap almost went over his head Sam's down the middle complete lieutenant for Johnson lot cut just in front of Bobby Johnson who couldn't hang on white Hicks drill it with an assist no they're playing Jeff fuller usually plays a linebacker position today they're playing him out here as a corner and a clever guy now he's a big strong guy what they're going to do is in the meantime there was a penalty on the play someone from the 49ers lined up in the neutral zone so they'll get a five-yard penalty it'll still be third down however and it's third and two down now this becomes a run or pass situation although it looks like the Giants are staying in their shotgun or passing formation out on the shotgun oh this is that formation where Tony Galbraith has been so effective all year long doesn't look like he's close enough to Sam's to do it this time they were on a break George this is from the other side of the field now we're back on our side of the field you can see here that the 49ers are bringing Fricke Ellison right up the middle he just got cut so that Sims had a left line to step up and get the ball out to Adam I was lying back 42 Turner if ever the man the man on first down again tomorrow's over the right side of the whole pile moves ahead about three fret Dean who doesn't normally play in running situations like that made the stop drive began back at the giant to second at 7:00 at the gentlemen 30 down Dean comes out no this is interesting coaching though for both sides Pat and if they don't have the headsets they don't have the phones to the press box so they're kind of going by what they can see in the sidelines and what they can hear from their players as they come in and out they have no communication this is the old time coaching stuff this seems like old times his partner was the full-back he comes out of the backfield looking at Rick he's going to have [Applause] the first time that they went to work I'm Tory Nixon that was a nice move Elaine oh man it was an out laughable what pattern watches he starts here he's going to come up here unhook like he's coming in here 20 Nixon back starts in here then Manuel comes out here and catches the ball here gotcha missing comes up here then he's going to hook to the inside see there then he starts inside and boom Manuel comes back outside first down tomorrow Samaras over the right side gets across the 50 to about the 49 or 48 Jeff Stover made the stop now I'm sure that the coach is up here in the press box would be saying to the giant sideline if they could hey when Tory Nixon is off like that we can get any type of pattern on the second move but we want to give him one move he'll go for it then go back the other way they're going to give him another receiver this time it's McConkey looks like Nixon's got it right by himself outside Morris I taught shell and Carlton Williamson a gain of only four bring up a third down if we started off with the Giants doing their games earlier in the season and members would do the games you could just see each week Joe Morris get more confident and more confident each week and his offensive line get better each week and get more confidence in him and they go hand in hand don't they they used to say the 49ers couldn't run Tyler all of a sudden they had a good offensive line Morris again [Applause] come up with Jeff Stover but it's another time first [Applause] the goal line but bardos the center did a good job on Michael Carter everyone was expecting that oats would have to have help on it but that time he just went Bandar man he took him by himself bunch Oaks in the middle 65 seam drive into carton then he gets a turn turn turn turn you see Carter fighting him and then boom Morris gets right by here we go on first down again now the center of the wheel that don't penalty markers that's the one that they're looking for that double coverage you what you have is you have the tight end Ellison the tight Ellison man-to-man on the tight end Babar oh you try and get him straight down in the middle and he just tripped over Ellis Ellis ins foot he would have been open there he would have been Ricky Ellis says I'll take him any way I could get him McConkey was over there manulis foot wide to the right Johnson down to the left Thank You timorous on the bottom of the pile with blame board well that time for Doakes didn't get Michael Carter watch him he's gonna he's gonna slap right here he starts in he's taking that right side he gives him the the head slap gets the left arm up runs right by him and gets Joe Morris I think he is a load in this middle when you talk about loads Michael Carter is a load he is in that 300 neighborhood and he's like he's you know always in the stance was born in that position they need about 12 [Applause] here tended for Galbraith Fred Dean get away [Applause] Fred Dean of course hasn't had the great years of pass rusher this year that he had last year in the last couple years with the 49er he really hasn't been getting a big play here he starts on the sponge and just gets that right hand up there to knock the ball away lambda2 pun McLemore back deep for the 49er sickles first match makes it at the 19 a 23-yard cut by Sean landeta and the 49ers will take over trailing 3 to nothing hey Maggie both coming up on CBS here's Roger Craig George Martin Harry Carson right there you see John Frank on Lawrence Taylor that remember they got out it we have last year last year the playoff game of the net flathead John Frank and Russ Francis both lined up in the same side John Frank was going after Lawrence Taylor the play was over John Frank was still going after Lawrence Taylor there are Frances and Frank's together again passes the Jerry Rice and rice gets outside at 35 took a pretty good shot at he's slow getting up those quarterbacks do take quite a beating day you know after they throw the ball here's Jerry Rice was he's just making a quick or a slant move there on Ted Watt and Montana comes up against them once number 54 and the head and is going to hit Montana just as he throws the ball but they did that first contact sir but then when they throw him into the ground and land on top and they've got a triple different Montana back to throw marshal in pursuit [Applause] got their second that's the first second Marshall is lined up inside over the guard he's lined up over John Ayers what he does he just splits that gap between the Center in the guard room he takes that gap on he makes Montana put the ball down and then Jim Burt was right on top of my can't take too many more of these the giant defense left the NFL in sacks why start wide left rice wide right Montana chased by marshal screen pass to Frank going those two he'll Lawrence Taylor sniff something here then do and he saw it was John Frank he said let me go get that [Applause] [Music] Josh leaves three nothing like it's going to be a lasting relationship between John Frank and Lawrence Taylor it began at Candlestick Park last year we thought we had the audio from this match but thats Frank of course number 86 and Lawrence Taylor number 56 we had been told that Frank sticks to you like glue he sticks to Lawrence Taylor like glue doesn't he the whole pile of them they're the official was trying to travel apart that was a wrestling match there was a takedown and two reversals in the three points for a pin the winner was [Applause] Thoreau has some time gets Francis down the middle the big Russ will have a 49er first down at the giant 46 after a gain of 20 that's a college play they're crafty you don't see very often it was a short sprint throwback watch Montana see him sprint there's a little play fake look he Sprint's a little to the right and then he throws back here too to Russ Francis coming from the left side sprint right boom throw back to your tight end and the key to that being he had some time and he has a big target in rust France is down the middle window Tyler in motion will throw on first incomplete pass [Applause] charging into Kyle McIntyre no flags as yet kintyre came fly him out of the offensive slide they were talking about Joe Morris being the second strongest guy on the giant team Jim Burke number 64 there's the strongest he's got to be strong to get that jersey on like that and it just fits right there but he got all those parts at 6:00 and before or underneath his arm those parts are crowded together second a can the giant 46 here comes a blitz they get it outside the crane can be dangerous get enough for a first down Gary Williams knocked him ativan Roger Craig who had such a great year the first person and the history of the NFL ever to accomplish that over a thousand both rushing and pass receiving and here's the thing that he does so well as Bill Parcells said this is what we have to stop the one-yard pass and the 12 yard run he said it looks like nothing he said they hit adaptive and boom he takes it up the sideline and they get first downs on you just a little one or two yard pass and here comes in Reverse the rice and he's going to throw Rhys can throw it intended for Dwight we haven't seen Italian it didn't fool either 10 watts or Jerry Canard they were both back there with Dwight Clark now once it starts here on the reverse he comes in at Dwight Clark as the guys are going to try and throw to here the secret here is that Jerry Canard stays right where he belongs and then they go down and there's no one to throw to when rice throws it from there see now they'll start both backs this way here comes rice they ran the same thing last week against Dallas in Reverse run but look at Terry Canard stay back there in the post that'll bring up a second in Ken Solomon had replaced here's another one like it was going to be an option [Applause] it looked like he was trying to pack it downfield Ted Watts up to make the stop but if the 49ers are setting up something that was an interesting formation that time they split the left tackle Bubba Parris out and they put John Frank in the slot let's see if we can see it see here's Bob of Paris here the tackle and here's John Frank [Applause] if they're not going to set something to run over here aligns unbalanced to the left as well can [Applause] the crowd is loud incomplete intended for Herman it was right back there with him now say it George Martin was on Joe Montana again just about every time Joe Montana throws the ball he's getting knocked down by a giant pass run that time was number 75 towards mark [Applause] doesn't even see Harvick he got that one in the hip not in the ribs here's running her in to punt [Applause] McConkey standing back at about the 14 running her put it death at the to the last time [Applause] to take a lot of time [Applause] this one is gone heading up Williams [Applause] almost had another chance to down it inside the 5/3 nothing the Giants lead the 49ers there are the phone's the headsets usually worn by the coaches they have been out of action for quite some time Walsh Bill Walsh still doesn't have his headset on Williams [Applause] sniffs tomorrow so reverse that's well what's they did it was interesting that they did fake the reverse to Byron Williams Boras started this way Williams started back and a forty nine is that held to 49er you'll see here he starts here Morris comes this way he's going to have the ball here and they faked a reverb so the forty niners hold here when they see Williams coming back to the side see Williams coming here and they faked the reverse right there that holds the 49ers back there back to throw his hands and he's got the barrel wide open of 14 marcelles has his headset back on he is talking with someone at least I hope he is and Bill Walsh has his headset back on so Owens appear to be working on both sides [Applause] 1st down Giants they pretty much control the tempo of the first hand here comes Lauren and not got a by white Hicks gain of seven hey if Billy art made a nice little block out there on Carlton Williamson since the guard Paul's now the strong safety has containment now all he has to do is get him up there make contact internal see just get that much right there now that allowed Morris to get outside and pick up about five yards good footwork Billy he's grown a beard now too [Music] nevertheless lunges up close to a first down if Billy art says he's not going to shave until the Giants lose watch my Michael Carter they're most of the time when you see him he takes that right side bar Doakes tried to shut him off to that right side and all Carter did was push him there and come back intact at Joe Morris but that gave you a pretty good indication of how strong Joe Morris is and you can't assume anything gets the block if you can't trick them [Applause] that's the San Francisco timeout [Applause] confusion on defense because Ronnie Lott didn't like what he saw it's still three nothing see why ronnie Lott took time out if she counts the X is 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 K so he had to take time out of so we can't play with 12 it catches their error it is short there's a lot calling the timeout Hasselbeck in motion tomorrow as inside the 45 pickup of seven [Applause] well yeah watch senator Farr though 65 there on Carter he drives that he gives some pretty good position here a little movement Barnard gets him up but by the time Carter gets off he's trying to fight away from Navajo Joe Forrest is supported right buyer giant Sims will throw it on first down defense but another first down grow from sin part of the Giants game plan they were going to work Lionel Manuel coming off the injured reserve but very fresh on Tori Nixon and you see how he goes for that first move again it was the same type of thing Manuel comes down gives him a little insight moon and runs the out off the hook for it's a second time Nixon went for that hook Daniel is out there with him again carpenters the lone setback our manual public ocean sins goes back to throw [Applause] they intended for Bobby Johnson nothing there white Hicks was the closest 49er 10:55 left to play in the first half the Giants after a 47-yard field goal by Erik Schubert still lead it 3 nothing ourselves and the word we get from the 49ers is that Dwight Clark has a slight concussion but is expected to return Sims 6 out of 11 second of 10 [Applause] Morris right side dragged down by Tina Turner now an interesting thing Pat as we saw that shot of the giant sideline the offensive coordinator Ronnie Earhart who was usually up in the press box he's a guy right there with his arms crossed he's down on the sideline now he calls the play so what usually happens he usually calls he has his book there with him he usually calls down to the sideline worked when the phone went out he came down to the sideline [Applause] look wide out to the left with Tory Nixon facing him and seven-step promotes again for incomplete but they're in Schubert range now would be from 43 yards [Applause] Jeff Rutledge by the way the backup quarterback for the Giants is the holder we have seen him on a couple of occasions try option runs from his situation that was with a different kicker however I like Schubert's going to kick this one [Applause] to the left and they'll bring it back to the line of scrimmage and the score remains three nothing Schubert as a matter of fact did run one of those option plays off that field goal formation against the cowboy Hinson was the other one number 90 is Todd shell of the 49ers linebacker he's headed for the locker room Elvis Patterson has come back from the [Music] [Applause] rice was the move man out to rice gain of eight watts that's an interesting thing that the that the Giants did on that play but they brought Barry Williams look he lines up here like he's going to cover but instead of covering he comes right in here at Montana he gets you a little late but I guarantee if that's something just that little move there is something to 49ers haven't seen although they picked it up it'll give him something to think and talk about we saw the 49ers do it last week against Dallas here's Montana this time he has - Terry Canard fast off the don't have a first down [Applause] really made that play was a light bag number 55 Gary recent what he's get back now he's brief Montana how long's 55 right there he gets in he hits the ball and Frances that knocks it up and now Jerry Canard is right back there waiting for it rice made the tackle fifteen yard and here's the guy who made it all possible very reasons there's the intercept our reasons is again it doesn't get a lot of publicity or a lot of talk but makes a lot of big plays for this giant defense Manuel comes in motion quickly Sims we'll look at you get to the poster tomorrow inside the coin before Tory Nixon today the Giants wanted to the playback they faked her off tackle and brought bucket water across the feel [Applause] much better and most of the Giants expected first down at the San Francisco 23 [Applause] is not backwards he hit something pretty hard in the middle that was a refrigerator a 49er refrigerator watch Michael Carter number 95 he starts into oats then Godfrey comes down on him he just pushes him out here get out of here they just turns his body sideways and mornings were head into it there was Ronnie lot to finish it off Morris had to take a couple of backward steps and regroup second and 11 in motion the right [Applause] carpenter knocked out of bounds Ricky Ellison after a gain of about six [Applause] one thing I like about the way the Giants are playing that if they have good place election you know they're running the ball giving it to Mars throwing it out here the carpenter throwing it downfield working a little to the outside receivers like to have a good intelligent game plan they're not doing anything stupid it's third and five from the 18 [Applause] particularly in the last half of the season very difficult to run against [Applause] [Applause] a one-handed [Applause] spot three for 47 yards [Applause] nothing giant when look at that again I think we're going to see Ronnie Lott he's going to get a little bump here on Favaro but not much I think that hand has bothered him there you see Bob ro gets right by him Carlton Williamson his heir he gets by him as Ken puts that one hand up to come on down here [Applause] he does here all he does is start on here it gets a little bump in here then comes right to the post he's tight in there comes off there gets a bump right there now he runs by them one and Williamson [Applause] heck of a catch phil simms watching that catch okay they don't let the defensive linemen celebrate anymore when they get a sack but they still have two quarterbacks celebrate with a protest correction this is [Applause] for a 23-yard return but this has got to be against the 49ers [Applause] I think so that's going to be blocking in the back from behind [Applause] on the sidelines what they're gonna do next next year when Zig Mowatt comes back there's a saucy flow I yesterday [Applause] 90% who says by the time the [Applause] outside a quark Larke down in the grass with lawrence taylor [Applause] Leonard Marshall he took an overhand right shot at Bubba Paris after the play was over and he better back off after he does it because it'll be a 15-yard Baddeley number 70 on a defense first down no question about it we're being 15-yard penalty but if you don't stop they'll throw you out someone's that's enough you got his 15 yards stay in the game huh [Applause] watch 77 is right there and the here comes Marshall he was doing was pushing him up that's the 35 emotion and against dr. crane the ball finding no place to go George Martin if they a Leonard Marshalls a type of guy you don't want to get excited yeah he's one of those cases he plays at one speed but if you get him excited he's going to play in another speed and I think he's at another speed down Elvis Patterson on the other side they all decided to have the joy [Applause] to the lab [Applause] might be that same play [Applause] Carson was chasing him Roger Craig has had a great year for the 49ers this year but and the last couple games is slowing down he has a bad knee and it's and it's a thing in there behind the knee he plays the bored tired that lake concern looks like he has life early pretty tiny gets run down James as the game goes on its third down it's coming flag is down penalty marker went down back by Montana let's see what it's about Leonard Marshall I believe is the first Marcel came on a heck of a pass rush that time he lined up over the left guard John Aires and he just flipped that gap again unnecessary ellipsis number 70 100 it's Casey Mero Marshall gave a good pass rush Casey Merrill came in later much progress early stunts get that leg back he just hits that gap between kick pull over there's splits the thing of these we see that late one was Casey maro Marshall got the sack he celebrates at the 15 that's the first down 6:48 comes back to play with and gets only three or four Harry Carson as a giant defense played that perfectly' that's the way you would draw it up they come up on the side the ball is coming to and everyone on the back side away just slid right down the line of scrimmage that was perfect a run defense break got three yards so a second at seven [Applause] [Music] drop later Tyler almost stopped in the back by Marshall finally tripped up by banks and birth in brief did a good job I'm Fred Quillin it comes bleonard Marshall he comes from the outside you see Burke holds him up there's Bert right there waiting right on the line of scrimmage in about two [Applause] throws back across the field of Clark and it's complete Harry Williams was Montana took a shot and so did Clark after he caught the ball well that's the second time that the 49ers have done in this format they where they start out and they roll to the right throw back that's his shot Leonard Marshall puts on Joe Montana whoo I'd say he was hurt coming into this game he he said he was going to start he said he's not sure how long he could go [Applause] forty-niners better figure out a way to get that Leonard Marshall [Applause] banks on the bottom of the pile hey this is a fired up giant defense I think you know on this on this drive the giant defense has gotten 30 yards worth of penalty but in addition to that but in spite of that they're still playing playing very well you know if that makes any sense let me near her they're fired up they're going after and they're doing things but they also got 30 yards of penalty second as Wilson comes in motion this is Tyler [Applause] a 49ers first down stripped him out [Applause] for one office belongs to the 49ers that's in the conference in the NFC against the second best defense in the NFC of course the Bears have the best defense whereas McGriff's big broad back the weather turned out not to be a factor it's cold but there yes he is down to about the 16 before he's tripped up by Kenny Hill [Applause] there's been something about the surgery today how a guy can have surgery and in two weeks later he's playing he's back playing as Wendell Tyler is doing here we see just stray they had blocking Ayers fires out on here there was a good block by the guard put Carson down and Tyler was right in behind him surgery and he's right back playing Tyler is out the Giants have taken a timeout with three minutes to go in the first half 49ers have a first in ten at the giant 60 here Bill Parcells was back in 1962 and where Phil Simms was that's what Jim Burt looked like back when he was four years old John Madden said to him yesterday hey Jim you grew into your eyes that's when he was three he had the same size eyes are the adult eyes and he kept the same and and just grew up around it arms got bigger chest got bigger Jersey got smaller that stuff hanging out of his nose 62 of course in the event you might not be aware was the last time the Giants hosted a playoff game of any kind and if they win this one and they are successful host Jim Bertil think Santa has come again that's football you get those jerseys no shirts underneath them big [Music] Pete to paint down there on that Center mr. Craig and he gets maybe a couple George Martin and the rest of the middle of the giant defense brought him down that's the day you know God say you can't run against the three-man line they don't get movement on the nose tackle and what happened that time Bert was able to hold up that middle so that Martin and Marshall could come down from the outside watch Amir he holds it up see there no movement there now Marshall can come down from this side and Martin from the other side because there was no bubble or soft spot in the middle [Applause] try to cut it [Applause] Burks fired up down we showed that baby picture of Mira start talking about this happen I'll show you some play he stays fired oh my god look that Jersey sneaking up now you gotta some stuff hanging out under there that's a good deal that's a bad you're burnt wood father we're about 50 and that Jersey is probably about 38 it looks like it could be 38 years old yeah but he's playing in there there's a swing and they're hitting this stuff flying around down there two-minute warning chance Tim nothing Giants ten San Francisco nothing two minutes remaining each team has two timeouts remaining 49ers have the ball third and [Music] - nothing wife to the left wife chased by Marshall passes
