1990 Week 3 Dolphins at Giants

it was tough in 84 he was red-hot the only way we thought we could get to him is right up the middle then you just get incomplete passes rarely do you get a sack but we did get him a couple of times and made the difference now this is a barometer for both teams and for Don Shula he's hopeful that those eight and eight years that have been plaguing him of late are over that this team really is much better what do they have to do well they're much improved offensively defensively but they're going to have to complete at least 20 passes maybe 30 Marino's going to have to get a couple of touchdowns at least 300 yards to deal with about control of the Giants and the giant says Bill Parcells refers somewhere a lunch-pail team will grind it out in that front seven on defense may be as good as anyone in the NF it's a great front seven problem they're thin in the secondary not terribly talented and also thin so marinas going to try to go up top on them meanwhile they're going to try to control the ball on the ground with the Giants 60 degrees there's Bill Parcells in his ninth year with the Giants is 8 seasons here have produced a Super Bowl championship in there has been commented this could be his last you heard that from earlier this year at Don Shula well he's just 39 wins away from being the winningest coach in the history of the National Football League passing the immortal George Halas who record 25 wins so yeah it's it's at high and spins it into the end zone and the Giants cave to the 17 the 18 yard line and a flag is now tackle made by veteran DJ junior cherry mark bride is the referee it's behind Moreno he's fine that point it would be problems having trouble with bills microphone so let's just separate from there John Eliot William Roberts Bart Oates Eric Morin Doug reason Berg the offensive line in front of Simms Odessa Turner Ottis Anderson the veteran Maurice carthon the blocking fullback Mark Ingram and Mark Bavaro the tight end when they go to the load they bring in a second tied in along with carthon they line all on one side three big blockers on one side the balls coming right in [Applause] it's back inside to the fifth me Dolphins defense their face defense for Don Shula reads this way DJ Turner the rookie from Houston Oglesby on the nose Jeff cross had ten sacks last year Greg's offered all Odom and green the linebackers the back for from Miami Makai er acquired from the 49ers JB brown Jarvis Williams and Luis Oliver two young tough big safety men the strength of the defense perhaps for Miami [Applause] look for Giants just taken right at Miami and see if they can handle it physically so they go again no Jay gets close to the first [Applause] from the secondary make the tackle much-improved dolphin defends put five new starters only to [Applause] [Music] in a 16-game schedule especially against a team like the Giants that just take it to your relentless defensive coordinator he's pleased with what he's seen the first two games as Miami beat New England rallying 2724 and then took Buffalo Party to seven last weekend at Joe Robbie first down Anderson gets hit in the backfield with Jeff Ross number 90 brazo has just signed a new contract so he's a much happier athlete last year led the Dolphins with 10 sacks he's the critical defensive player both coaches acknowledge that this one man can make a difference at least his side of line of scrimmage and then also as a pastor ocean between or for Dahl and cross this is Miami's true strength for us three-year veteran from Missouri - 72 - Sam's first he is hit hard stays on his feet and pushed back by the second way as jarvis williams came up from the secondary and cliff Odom collaborated on the hit the quiet man Vivaro says very little but does he play big and coming back from that knee surgery last week five big catches at Dallas in this case he'll push off really push off over doll you seen with the right of the screen then sliding away and catching the ball now if either used his hands at all they've got called off and said pass interference big man driving to the linebackers sliding away that dimension is really critical to this giant team because they're a running team and a ball control team of the season goodbye at the end third and five underneath incomplete and almost caught on the ricochet as downfield was Odessa Turner went through the hands of Steven Baker incomplete so the Giants pick up one first down and now Sean landeta the all NFL kicker for the Giants comes in to punt dropping back now phil simms took a little time they're waiting for that crossing receiver and cross was getting close so they're gonna have to handle the fields gonna be would take [Music] [Applause] in the former dolphin special teams player he's ever coached he delivers on the first chance to introduce his oozes new rodeo we've placed it and Toyota's forerunner in this campground to see which is better for family five surely rodeo has more horsepower and rear and locking brakes but another key difference is that only the Romeo seat six so combined with its price thousands less than four runner we see that only in a rodeo no one gets stung the new Isuzu Rodeo at just 12,000 $499 there's no comparison no I love coming to the park with their major there's nothing better than spending a little time manche two best friends his dog and his beer Miller Lite the less filling beer that really tastes great what's this that's mine yeah Miller Lite we're less filling really tastes great [Music] skyline across the Hudson one of the great cities in the world and proud of 76,000 now we'll see Miami put it in play for the first time [Music] sign late said Taylor in the first game [Music] New York jet and Detroit lion is across the 30 yard line a gain of about three Carl banks made the tackle Richmond Webb and Keith Sims to rookies Texas A&M in Iowa State now the left side of the Miami line Yulin a Galbreath and Dennis very young front five Moreno has Paige and Sammy Smith who leads the NFL in rushing after two weeks the mark boys super and played on the outside Edmonds a tight end when they wide-set Jim Jensen the wide receivers second and seven the acquisition a year ago from the Cincinnati Bengals Eric Howard underrated nose tackle for the Giants made their number 74 he's there with Dorsey in Washington the front three and that tough quartet of linebackers banks deeossie Johnson and Taylor the back four of renee.thompson Everson walls of former cowboy Greg Jackson especially with mark [Applause] [Music] but toss incomplete detention well covered by Lawrence Taylor Taylor's standing up on the outside with banks on the other side two linebackers basically as pass rushers you'll see them standing up ready to put one or the other and both cases you've got big men coming from the outside and in this case Moreno had what you call a hot receiver they weren't going to throw the ball unless that man blitz here comes banks there's the throw banks is so quick even Moreno couldn't draw an accurate pass Reggie Roby averaged 42 plus last year's the win buying fun sideways and out of bounds at the 30 exchange of funds no score [Music] from the Far East to Europe across the Caribbean and throughout North America only one airline covers so much of the world with so much more [Music] the Toyota versus the Suzu standard pickup infers were invaded by giant reptiles which would be better prepare [Music] well first of all the Isuzu gets better mileage than Toyota that's helpful plus it has the biggest payload in its class so I can carry it all in all when the giant lizards come I'd rather be in an Isuzu because even has more lately the Isuzu picah it's a seven seven seventy nine there's no comparison give the Army Signal Corps 30 minutes and they can turn on mountain top into a satellite communication station [Music] by generals of the insolation our 13 are hired to keep your warm indoors and get a flu coach's sweater to keep your one out froy's offer ends October 14th during the break mark Bavaro a very valuable talent for the Giants past catching on the great blocker a sprained ankle you see the shoe in his hand and here's how it happened remember on the reception he took quite a pop especially from Jarvis Williams coming up from the secondary on the outside and apparently that ankle locked when hit by Odum fortunately they have Howard Krauss and Bob Hospital replacing two solid football 37 yard line Storrs sim sent some miss Anderson behind that big front wall across the 40 gain of about three or four the mode formation is basically a power formation with an extra tied in in a blocking back to one side the whole idea is to reduce the amount of support by the defensive backs consequently they'd have a solid line of blockers no support so everyone's kept on the line of scrimmage then Anderson finds up seam and breaks between it and they'll keep doing that keep doing that and soon later he'll throw a play pass off it you can see carthon the full-back out on the corner background and that's in this match Parcells Mark Ingram in motion second and six screen Anderson gets a book 1450 first down well Phil sim said more screens this year they had thrown for effective ones in the previous two games again he hides this beautifully we couldn't even see it coming from upstairs those linemen come out very very late and here it comes up the field you get excellent support by Oliver but he can't quite make the play excellent running also by Anderson and reading those blocks Otis Anderson who was a number one pick of the Cardinals back in 79 and rushed for over a thousand with a Giants last year as young legs at 32 gets the call again [Applause] [Music] Ottis Anderson he said he's our pillow man our pillow man he says yeah the old man he softens things up for the young guys that I bring in later boy does he set a standard he is tough and he's relentless 325 carries last year and this this guy's played an awful lot of football and year in 79 a long time ago for 320 Cary's again they're gonna be doing the same thing they're taking the offensive tackles reason burg and Ellie are taking their man off the line of scrimmage the giant line has really beaten up on that defensive front Miami so far you'll see blots here in here that become very very important as the game wears on people drive in there man he's turning them you see five yards by reason birth taking his man off the line of scrimmage and Turner is one of the better defensive players upon this Miami team so this is what Miami had felt going in they did proved and but at this point the Giants are still dominating minds midpoint of the first quarter no score but the Giants on the first down 37 little misdirection and Anderson tripped up after a gain of maybe a yard around a first report around the NFL on Sunday number three hero the scores no report in from Green Bay of any scoring Chicago has an early field goal lead as Cincinnati does against New England chargers up early at Cleveland now let's Washington knows [Applause] no gain second down and ten and we see the top pick of the giants Rodney Hampton number 27 has replaced Anderson he's in motion for a pass up the seam they like to run that man in motion and throw the ball squit end there he is 83 Odessa Turner [Applause] a yard shy of a first made the tackle from Miami in that case they put the halfback in motion to widen the defensive backfield then slip their man Odessa right up the field and Turner a fine medium level receiver was there to make the catch excellent call and I'm sure they had planned that too all week third down about a yard and a half [Applause] Carthon and behind Sims its Lewis Tillman lasting straight ahead pushed backwards cackle inside but [Applause] they get carthon in our Tillman it was Carthon who got the call and the 225 pound pulled back from Arkansas State who is mariya blocker is the old-fashioned fullback won't carry often but bar sells loves him he said he's just as a good team guys a leader and loves to block he has the mentality of an offensive lineman he's much like the HVAC that the Redskins have developed over and change up to the ball carrier first down it's make it now behind Sims close it close enough to Jula know what's hippies was doing will he'd set that play up dick Odessa Turner again as a tight weak side in with AB acted motion outside him ran a scene pattern up the field and was open but Phil Simms looked late and wanted to throw it but it was just a little bit late so he held a ball and threw it away there was some credit for Phil for throwing it away but he should have he should have seen that just a count earlier it was their schürrle still parked called at second and ten they'll kick something [Applause] 22 yard line by Cliff Odom rodney hampton they feel he's the best running back as a receiver that they've had here in the last ten years phil simms read-alikes he says he's the best receiver he's had best all-around back now he'll come through the line of scrimmage then cross the field and lose his coverage man very quickly but there's a recovery from that standpoint there he's crossing the field there's your pinpointed play excellent ball control staying come apart in the short time out of the shotgun on third and five he's close to the first thing at the 17 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] made the tackle and Don Shula was worried about that that simms does like to tuck it away it's just short of a first down Tom Oliver Roddy the coordinator said third and three and four they've got to concentrate on Sims because he knows when to run I guess it just needs to go they spotted back a thing [Applause] sans is not going to kick the field goal [Applause] [Music] no it's so generous much on the spot [Applause] a me and he isn't up yet excellent call Sims reversed out fake to Carl found then handed the ball to Anderson on the other side and that may have been the difference excellent designing the play Chris Sam's has got two good solid short yardage runners in park on the hammers Giants led the league last year in fourth down efficiency they made 17 out of 22 did they make this one [Applause] just enough this is what Don Shula doesn't want because not only are the Giants moving the ball but they're consuming time off the clock position batricia us to keep Moreno Lois Tillman he showed his slashing style against the Cowboys last 71 yards broke Walter Payton's career rushing record at Jackson State mark Bavaro were pleased to report was in the lineup on that last play but he limps off now so that ankle injury while it's bothering Bavaro not so serious that he's back in the locker room unlikely he'll come back this time my guess is they tried to numb that it really isn't working because we have to rested my step [Music] [Applause] to the 5-yard line the Dolphins are depending heavily on Louis Oliver and Jarvis willing Williams to come out of that secondary and make stops close to the line Oliver made to stop but way too late offside Miami is the call but the Giants may have the first down on carthon's carry so mark right now will measure off the five yards for the penalty it will take it just about to where carthon advance the ball offsides defense penalty declined they'll give birth in the five yards to his rushing total first and goal at the 6 yard line 234 3 the clock running is Bill Parcells offense just the way he designed it keep the ball on the ground risk use that offensive line to beat up on that defense to up the clock and keep Moreno and Miami on the sidelines Phil Simms not happy was a call that came in so a timeout is called 2:19 remaining in the first quarter we're here on Easter Island to introduce the monumental new Isuzu stylus how does it compare to the Toyota Camry let's see what the cuts they be stylus with its Lotus tuned suspension and it's metal and is just as roomy yet the total cost hundreds more the gods are too crazy about that then you Isuzu stylus at just 11000 $2.99 there's no comparison in

by Isuzu for features styling and price there's no comparison [Music] minutes the 37 clock down to nearly two minutes remaining in the first quarter merino may see almost this entire first quarter go by and all he had was three offensive plays an abundant problem with that not only is it is are they controlling the ball and hopefully may score here but when Moreno takes over again that coaches and we have to come to the conclusion quickly weiners now we start throwing the ball even though we'd prefer to round obviously william roberts it's the sixth eligible receiver its anderson trying the center that Treach 9 dolphin tacklers at about the - what a critical down this will be because my guess would be that Bill Parcells would kick the field goal if they don't get in and field goals the dolphins can deal with because of Marino's passing the touchdowns are tough going home Louis Tillman comes in Ottis Anderson out they spot the ball closer to the 3 yard line third and goal Giants are substituting backs in and out with very specific jobs that they didn't until mines a slashing runner for Bavaro the side end on the left Green laser eyes number 55 and Jarvis Williams 26 collaborate on the Sun well one big defensive blade does it the blocking powers here to the right it looks good excellent pull buy more but the penetration is there bye-bye really bye everybody that's the kind of play that if you expect an inside run it may work against you but at that time the dolphins were looking for something that would spring to the outside Raul Alegre made your veteran from Texas he's made his two field goal attempts this year we'll hit what amounts to an extra point as Hostetler kneels just inside the 18 yard line the 13 yard line 23 yard Giants have the early lead because that comes on the final second of the first quarter so indeed Moreno had three plays in 15 minutes the Giants consume the time and they have three no I love coming to the park with their major cuz there's nothing better than spending a little time man's two best friends his dog and another night the less filling beer that really tastes great hey where's major Miller Lite well less filling really tastes

ball of myth and the half a quarter Tony page underneath his collar just shy of the 30-yard line by former cowboy Steve Diaw see I've never seen that combination of time thirteen plus minutes in one quarter of ball control you couldn't have written the script better giant ones well but the bad news is they got only three really don't beat three yards to bathe second and seven platon in motion Sammy Smith Notre Dame star number 77 along with Eric Howard another look at the ten minute ticker Cincinnati now attend nothing lead against the Patriots Cleveland has scored a touchdown at home too late San Diego 73 [Applause] immensely critical [Applause] like the dolphins [Applause] often Sidhu we know the shotgun 35 guns it complete and a nice catch on the near sidelines beer to be Fred banks though Mark Clayton Clayton sliding his hands along the turf to grab that one that makes his streak 56 consecutive games for Clayton has put at least one ball the running back combinations for both teams are because become critical they have a number on each roster and they all have a specific job to do in this particular case a Sammy Smith and Tony page and the mark book and these are the kinds of guys and have special jobs and I believe the Sigma hero starts on the short ball control pass down the seam it goes miss Akane from a Sephora now they say incomplete [Music] dan Marino was talking about seems against the zone and that's what we'll see here working straight up the field but both receivers end up very close together and it allows two defensive backs to make the play on the ball you can see coming in was the safety Myron Gaytan to deliver the blow he was able to come over quickly because they didn't stretch that defense quite wide enough to eliminate Tony Martin like his namesake enjoys singing the boys bird music second and ten it immediately to make the stop Terry William let's just go across the river and see what's up at NFL live well dick as you'll recall the first two weeks of the year Cincinnati had to come from behind to win here with the cameraman faked out by the play-action move of Boomer Esiason it's Eddie Brown on the receiving end of a 42 yarder moments later New England fumbled Cincinnati recovered Esiason connected again with Rodney Holman for a touchdown Cincinnati has a 17 nothing first quarterly [Applause] by Emerson wall who has 46 we're interceptions and he they love their that giant state from the outside was great pressure coming from the outside from both people but up inside you get the pressure and this time Marino had to get rid of the ball quickly with a line stunt but also the wind was a factor there the wind sort of caught that ball not only the pressure but the wind itself Dave Megan inside the 15 is row B now kicks with the win first was 28 yards and this one isn't going to be much better touched by a dolphin at the 30-yard line [Applause] Don Shula's certainly thinking of hottest justice strategy I'm out with 11:45 left in the half working to be the best they can be teammates sponsored by the US Army Alex Webster and Frank Gifford gave the Giants the most versatile backfield of the 50s Webster was an excellent receiver and runner Gifford a true triple threat back who could catch run and throw both frequently handled the ball on the same play for his individuals Gifford in Webster could do it all together his teammates they made the Giants the best they can be give the Army Signal Corps 30 minutes and they can turn on mountains up into a satellite communication station qualify for training like this and you'll learn to work with some of the most exciting high-tech electronics around [Music] the temperature never drops below zero X if you don't know that about antifreeze now this is where you're likely to learn it because when your antifreeze fails it usually fails here when your car has been sitting idle when it's very dark and very deserted and very cold oh thank heavens you did remember C wrecks antifreeze but temperature never drops below zero X [Music] saw the Giants with a ball again and a three nothing lead early in the second quarter and again today as we see all year long it's getting more like baseball you wonder if you couldn't steal some of those signals defensive and offensive coordinator sending the plays in what were some of your favorite players did you signaled in some of the osher we and we had a quarterback do it but of course everybody could read it well you this might be formation this might be play this might be direction the worst one I ever had was at the last minute how do we signal the Hail Mary pass I thought well how about that middle of the second quarter see I'm thinking how this do not appeal Mary all right the Giants have the ball at their 32 yard line some of the signals seemed to be obvious and it surprises me bill that more coaches don't Scout as you do from baseball try to pick up the signs and maybe break the code well just like baseball you have a hot and cold sign so to speak you may have two people giving the sign whenever you suspect anything but there was one particular NFL team a few years ago that had a videotape in the stands and was coordinating the sign with some of us found out about that team win any games you Giants [Music] ground game and gums Otis Anderson on first make that Tillman's Luis children and a flag goes down with it our selves makes it tough on the announcers all his key backs have that four lowest omen is 34 Maurice Carthon is 4400 - Sanderson 24 holding number 76 this kind of thing affects the the ball control the 10-yard penalty naturally you can't go to the kinds of plays you lose typically and maybe have to throw the ball to get back in this is what we would hope for [Music] sam says he loves the front of this younger team protection underneath and no fly that was close coverage by Offerdahl they Megan make it wasn't the primary receiver against imps wanted it seems wanted to throw down the field to adesso Turner and he finally came to his outlet and over Dahl was right on it right in front of us you see him moving right inside with Megan sitting right on his hip excellent boy but again that was Sims experience he didn't waste the ball down the field and can take a shot at an interception he just tried to control it late offered all the former Bronco Western Michigan and he's opening a bagel shop down in the Miami area since Rosie and it stolen of the 22 David Briggs former jet tied in now that wasn't a very good call that was more a call you'd run on second down in three or four they had second in 20 so the play fake the fake of the run really didn't get very much done here's the math substitution five men come in for the Dolphins who go to this look away from their base Carl Wilson Turner cross and Amuro the front four and then seven defensive backs Glenn Thomas [Applause] 5/7 always seems to get that really must English Don Shula because what occurred they had the right defense but no pass rush on Simms you'll see all four of these men we're closed bidding seems a chance to end up to the outside nothing coming then he moves outside and gives it himself all that time to finally hit make it crossing from the far side of the field the pass rush just wasn't there 22 yards on the play forty-four was almost intercepted odessa Turner was the closest giant but there was a pack of dolphins around him the Giants have lost some of the ball control at this point because they're stopping the clock with an incomplete pass now whether that makes a lot of difference you'll find out late in the game but that running game they're sort of stepping away from after the penalty three nothing Giants just under ten minutes remaining in the opening half by Alegre 23 the school [Music] and it's tilman folks to him on a slashing runner in a sense he's an Otis Anderson younger age now whether he has the durability in reckless competitiveness that Anderson head will find out but Tillman really slashes and hits they have specific plays they run with him and as the season wears on don't have to depart from that because obviously the other team senses it learner Ottis Anderson on the sidelines [Music] [Music] that was whistled dead and a sack recorded for Louis Oliver number 25 let's double check that palaver damn field Sims avoided up inside and waited just a little too long trying to throw the ball you see him in pretty good shape right a lot of time now coming up inside just bye-bye fortune Kerri Glen was the man around the ankles for the sack and now the punt by land Jarvis Williams fair catch lesson bounced out of bounds five minutes remaining in the half the Giants with a field goal lien last year more truck owners switched to Chevrolet than to any other truck listen to the heartbeat nearly 200,000 in just one year so if you are still not driving a Chevy what are you waiting for more people are winning with the heartbeat of America today's truck is Chevrolet from the outback of Australia you can see the lights of Paris we survey the castles of Franklin top the Great Wall there's a penalty on the Giants meltable me filled on that last console and same spot even when he doesn't hit the perfect spiral has such a powerful way at a Towson State as is his teammate Dave Megan with a game starting to even up a little bit Giants not quite controlling the ball getting some putts and we have a timeout made 44 left in the half three nothing Giants [Music] because at this time of year you can hide inside a sweater it's right beer because you know what to do when times are on the line after working hard to take it off you don't wanna put it back on reach for the Silver Bullet the one that won't slow you Dasom it's right there [Music] there's another demonstration of Chevy versus forward this one has socially redeeming values we're loading up these full-size pickups with recyclables the chevy has a standard payload advantage of over 400 pounds that's a pilot payload the port leaves behind no wonder so many truck owners recycle their trucks for Chevy more people are winning with they truck the Chevrolet minutes it's our anniversary let's call in sick can't Oh tenures deserves something true haven't I made you coffee for 10 years haven't I had to drink it now come on why show your friends this happy anniversary Oh beautiful the diamond anniversary band this year tell her you'd marry her all over again okay I'll show him tomorrow the Giants although they seem to abandon [Music] [Applause] by the giant pepper Johnson was the eriik ours came from behind that playin [Music] seems in revenue but Howard followed them along angle on the scrimmage and caught that thing from behind the previous two weeks Miami's been getting away with that kind of a play and if this one is just a little too quick a little quicker [Applause] [Applause] I feel the smell [Applause] [Music] excellent zone pass coverage people drop pepper Johnson in particular number 52 will drop out of there and get in good position just steady steady now in the ball strong he attacks it from the from the outside that approach to a received defense [Applause] a marvelous job in utilizing the talent of a [Applause] rush down the middle to Clayton platon the tough catch in traffic in the first down at the 33 as he caught it between Gaytan and walls that was one heck of a catch he had a man right in behind him and he saw the ball wait now Moreno just at the last second throws it before the pressures there between two people and walls reaches out just missed times the bat in his now that is the combination that will keep Miami going mission x2 the great master training receivers played now to Louisville Smith a little misdirection Giants have been a loss of a couple Thompson from the left corner closed quickly Gary reasons in on the play as well Renee Thompson who was not protected a year ago and acquired on Plan B by the Giants very bright young man he's working on his master's degree in English English literature loves to write loves short stories Edgar Allen Poe many cornerbacks around the league [Applause] played the Troy Stratford pepper Johnson [Applause] Eric Dorsey really knifed in pepper johnson 52 endorsee 77 all over Marino he's going to have to be protected here too because they are really hitting him not necessarily late but is getting close very close remember dick when that throwing motion is completed [Applause] three motions completed no contact [Applause] which from the outs surprise marina where they the screeners banks walls is the first person there to kick-off Marino and allow banks to get to him [Applause] right [Applause] another short whoo tough catch at the 38 Terry Glenn covering for Miami that win really playing tricks with the punts again Roby stick under 30 yards only 29 timeout 544 remain in the half from the outback of Australia you can see the lights of Paris I survey the castles of Frankfurt on top the Great Wall from Mount Fuji you can see the chanson visa to the eyes of the Buddha in Thailand you can see the Rhine rolling through Germany and the Kansas heartland and see the heart of France you can see all are united because the airline that spreads its wings across Asia and the u.s. now turns toward Europe bidding if Franklin and Paris come see it all on the airline that spans more than half the world [Music] come fly the friendly skies NBC sports coverage of the National Football League is brought to you by today's truck Chevrolet nobody's winning like the heartbeat of America by united airlines serving over 200 cities in the US and around the world come fly the friendly skies and by Liberty Mutual for your insurance and financial service needs America believes in Liberty Mutual five minutes 44 seconds remaining in the first half beautiful giant stadium usual some out of 76,000 and change and thus far surprisingly low score 3 nothing this all works in the Giants favor lack of scoring lack of ability to of all control team the strong physical team tends to thirty-eight territories Sam's hands-off and it's Rodney Hampton for about three to the 41 maybe four clip Odom led the defensive charge this is a look at the dyin John's defensive play now you're going to see a blitz from the inside but Emerson walls will be attacking on the outside a perfect call just at that moment what what Dan Marino wants is to come outside and throw the ball but you see walls 28 and then banks now banks is again hitting late and it'll be interesting to see if that kind of thing is called because Moreno had clearly thrown the ball when he was hit Sam's hit as he throws in and complete as Jeff Ross coming in from the backside they did that was almost thrown to a Miami defender Rodney Hampton and the flat was the target cross coming up the field getting inside and that made the big difference and then spinning being in good shape that was a that took a real effort because not only was he confronted early he was confronted late he used his spin move to get free and his quickness is what you have to get out of that Miami deep shotgun third and six [Applause] to make it breaks a tackle breaks another [Applause] [Music] Megan on that play came all the way across the formation and then to the other side now the only way that was possible was for seems to get the pass protection indeed it has time here see the pockets perfect then he waits in mega kids that running starts very difficult to deal with without the password it's horrific feat did Megan Tillman hi Sean or a late draft this year by the Dolphins from the Atlanta Falcons you do a seat at the improvement in the dolphin defense there are more athletes out there was five new people yeah they're attacking ward defense way than they had and Don Shula indicated and he's done it a number of times but but last night very succinctly the defense has come through this year when they need it needed it and where in the past [Music] second and 14 play-action Sims throws the Carthon incomplete and a flag down [Applause] in the secondary of the Dolphins again in the past whole day against the Dolphins that the first down second and 14-play holding number 22 defense five yards automatic first down Tim Makai of your former cornerback for the 49ers it's only a five-yard penalty but on second and 14 it carries the automatic first down so that's a tough one Tim is really a different kind of guy in his sense he's got abilities of tens he wants to live in another sense he sort of distracted people I believe the Dolphins are going through some of that now Sims there is that talented he's he darts in front of Odessa Turner 354 left in the half here let's check on other scores with Bob Costas okay dick we take a look at the action in Cleveland Billy Joe Tolliver of the Chargers back to throw pumps pulls it back down lets it go now he wishes he hadn't intercepted by the linebacker Mike Johnson watch on the offensive lineman chase him futile e he goes 64 for the touchdown Brown 7 Chargers 3 back to dick and oh all right bad Billy Joe Tyler William quarterback of the Chargers and his troubles last week in Cincinnati here's the throw back to Simms Simms throws [Applause] and excite the fans give the team confidence practice it all week now he'll hear golf inside the Ineson he pivots throws the Sims no one near Sims now crossing receivers and the defenders completely lose track of them I don't think anybody does that kind of play better than the Giants just see him coming all the way across the field no one really there to defend against it every went just a little confused a little out of sync though Ingram's first catches a big one and it's first and goal just inside the 10 and the Empire comes into fall time an official's timeout with 306 showing on the clock they were in that load formation all set up to hammer that right side of the offensive mind and the Miami left side just all set to hammer it and see what they could get on the first down excellent execution one of the very best we want five seconds on the 45 seconds instead of four seconds thank you [Music] there is the load formation set up to the right phil simms really using his learning day probably pattern increase in number the way he's talking about the likes of mega Dan Rodney Hampton and notice Anderson all the way all of these things have execution is excellent that's why that is why the Giants think they're very close now 60 will pull you get motion to take a defender but you see excellent blocking right at the point of attack anderson will stretch it where this guard pulling up inside excellent block with it with the point by Eric Moore [Applause] beautiful coach team Ottis Anderson tries the center but nothing there louis oliver who made the hit to save the touchdown number 25 on the last play but more than oliver closed the hole on that second down effort so it'll be third and goal as the Giants moved the ball down the field running the two great safeties for fie a me Oliver and Williams are deep in their zone unable to support all by the design of the giant offerings two-minute timeout the time has come from new kind of full-size luxury the 1991 Chevrolet Caprice the most spacious Caprice of all time a quiet place where six adults can enjoy standards of luxury they won't find in many more expensive cars than that perhaps is the greatest luxury of all the time has come

job Biggs whose athlete melty really did bother Moreno but you see Richmond Webb coming out of young rookie feet moving well using his hands in good position but now from Reno they had to keep but he had got trouble again the left guard Sims came out and took away the inside [Music] offensive line Jennsen can't get [Applause] pressure from the Giants physical defense has Moreno hurrying and everyone seems to be just a little out of rhythm they are they gonna have to really recoup at halftime the short after a lot of pressure but look tan is early throwing that ball and Jim Gensan really wasn't ready to catch it when he got there is the defense who's to say that the timing [Applause] rushing for Sammy Smith who leads the that's it down at the 40-yard [Music] [Applause] I'm disappointed in no I can't for the life you figure out what's happening I think he's trying to throw seeing passes it's hard to figure 1 receiver breaking out the other end and two defenders between them and the balls going to have to sit down and decide what they want to do this [Applause] to play the game well now Bill Walsh the Giants pose a real threat to Miami's hopes if Bill Parcells team [Applause] wide open at halftime leading 10 nothing is Otis Anderson [Music] inside linebacker makes the tackle no problem with that call there's plenty of time plenty of time to get down and get at least three this is going to test that new dynamo Miami defense thoroughly tested fake the Mafia with going into the second half Giants have two timeouts [Applause] [Music] Barroso is okay deep pattern you know they say Brevard oaken can handle pain he must be oblivious of a badly sprained ankle he tries to go in again can't quite function here he is running full speed down the field for a ball boy is he tough and as a blocker he's deke leader he puts you right on your back nothing he doesn't do well as interviews they said that dick lends the Giants radio announcer had him on a postgame show nice coverage breaking to the outside Thomasville takes thee you see him bat the ball away with his right hand keeping his left hand free to make the tackle if the ball is caught phil is really hit the backboard and it looks as though he's twisted an ankle it must happen late because early on it looked like yet excellent protection the balls gone there's the they hit right after it looked like someone stepped on the left four table defensive back was putting pressure and apparently in the midst of the block someone rolled up on his ankle and so he'll be attended to timeout with 53 seconds left in the first half before building personal computers for networks Compaq thinks about you about the kind of people you work with and the number how information moves and how fast it

combines four three speed sprinters speed with intelligence and then an instinct for the game I don't think I've seen a more effective Hut coverage me changed around there punt coverage his last season 90 yards difference in total coverage you see the speed and look at him in the air he's got to get it back before he lands on the ground and he did Thompson of course playing against his former teammates and friends and trains with him in the offseason - gemstones but yard line and Don Shula ended his own end isn't going to take any chances here at the end of the half already down 10 nothing you know a year ago Thompson joins the Giants in 88 there was their net yards per punt 89 with Thompson around 37 for now he didn't account for all those but Bill Parcells says I look at him as a man who gained 490 yards that was the net difference that's 49 first thousand renee.thompson Gables I praise the clock ticks away this will be Giants we as close as all that if that's a story a giant city and Bob Costas [Music] all right Richard and coming up on NFL live at halftime I'll be joined by will McDonough and OJ Simpson will check the scores and highlights from today's games and we'll talk to

we're here with some of the Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Miami a United Way supported agency Mitch's little brother Luis came to Miami nine years ago the future for Luis could have been won on the

Bond's big and little brothers and sisters Lin and I have joined this program and we want kids to have a chance and then a foul we do more than just play football we get involved in our community and the United Way is more than the best way to give and to care the United Way it brings out the best in all of us this message furnished by the National Football League okay we resume now at halftime and as promised here's Commissioner Paul Tagliabue in the studio with us we left off at the end of the pregame show talking about instant replay and one point is that obviously there are big differences from game to game in the amount of available equipment does that concern you it doesn't concern me I guess for two reasons number one the two teams are playing with the same amount of equipment in the game and number two with our two minute limit this year for reviewing the video no one's gonna get eight or nine or ten camera angles anyway so we're basically be looking at roughly the same number of camera angles in each game now what about in a very big game very big late season game with that two-minute rule in effect and if after the two minutes have gone by just for the purpose of enlightening the audience the network covering the game comes up with what is now the definitive replay and it clearly overrules the call that is just stood or should have and you don't have the capability because of the two-minute rule well the coach has said you know that we should strike a balance and everyone felt we should strike a balance between having the game move along as you know the rule is that the replay has to be clear and indisputable and if you can't make that judgment within two minutes the consensus among the coaches and the teams was that we should go back to the field and play well well let's jump to a couple of issues you're gonna have to deal with I think he is shortly how about Eric Dickerson when you anticipate making a decision with what's gonna happen in I think probably sometime this week I'll get back to Erika and to the Colts with some indication of what I think they should do and whether there's anything I can do about it frankly how about Clarence Kaye I think you've got some kind of an idea of what you might do with his situation well Clarence you know was arrested for speeding and I think I've seen enough not to convince me that Clarence should be permitted to play for the Broncos and I have informed the Broncos of that recently there is some feeling in the league you got an important meeting coming up Tuesday where the owners are gonna come in to vote on a practice squad some of the owners think that this might be the first step towards a new collective bargaining agreement with the players how do you feel well I don't see it quite so globally I think it's important for two reasons number one it it's responsive to what the coaches and the football people want they wanted these practice players and I think management has an obligation to be responsive when it could affect the product number two I think it is significant that for the first time representatives of the teams and the players have gotten together they've listened to each other carefully they've gotten off their positions and moved toward a middle ground and reached an agreement that I think is significant finishing up where we started is it fair to say that replay coming into this season was again hanging by a thread it seemed a couple years ago it was sustained almost as a personal tip of the hat to P pros l then you had to step in and lobby again this time is it always on the brink well I think in this league there always be some people who will oppose instant replay but this year with the changes we made maybe we'll have a stronger consensus at the end of the year it's gonna be interesting to see I wish we had more time but we thank Commissioner Paul Tagliabue for stopping by will McDonough oj simpson and i will be back as halftime continues in a moment [Music] so folks you want to know how to win big in McDonald's McMillan's on NBC mmm you go for it that's right you got to go to McDonald's for a new myth millions

the scores and highlights here well let's pick up on what Commissioner taglio Buu said prior to today he had not made a definitive statement about Clarence K now the indication is he's free to return to the Broncos well he's just not gonna do anything I think with Clarence K and the reasoning for that is this how could he put him out of the game for life from the courts and then burr really won't even find the guy and the second thing an important thing to me he said was about dickerson I think his final line what is it when he said if there is anything I can do about it and for me that meant that he isn't gonna do anything about it all right well we're gonna do something about here is getting you updated on all the scores and highlights from around the league in the game you're watching the Giants have completely dominated the Dolphins they have thwarted Dan Marino and at halftime the Giants lead it by a score of 10 nothing in the Battle of a pair of two no teams Kansas City got a five yard scoring run just before halftime at Lambeau from Christian Okoye they lead at Green Bay seven three at the half Don Makowski has not been sharp the Bears just got an 8 yard run from Neil Anderson his fifth touchdown already this year earlier they had to Kevin Butler field goals one of them a fifty-one yarder late in the second quarter at Soldier Field looking to go three and OH the Bears lead 13 to 3 Cincinnati all over the Patriots James Brooks just got the latest TD on the ground earlier boomer esiason a 42 yarder to Eddie Brown they scored off a fake field goal on a four yard pass from Lee Johnson to Rodney Holman they've done it every which way and they lead 31 nothing over the Patriots in the second quarter at riverfront Cincinnati apparently will be three no San Diego is playing at Cleveland where the Browns have a 14-10 lead let's take a look at some of the highlights in that game man-in-the-middle former NBC employee for a year bobby Beathard looking for his first victory as the top man in the front office of the Chargers this doesn't help though Toliver pumps once then twice and Mike Johnson intercepts now watch as he runs it in look at the most obvious clip in history this guy from behind takes out two guys they don't call it and the touchdown stands for Mike Johnson Tolliver gets back on the beam however a little bit later as you hit Anthony Miller for a touchdown steps up into the pocket tremendous protection all the time in the world there he is wide open Leroy hoard just scored from the one though for the Browns and they've got the lead as they come up on halftime 14 to 10 Dallas and Washington in an exchange of field goals at RFK these teams come in each with a record of one and one the game tied late in the second quarter at three apiece mark Ripon was just helped off the field with an injury we can't identify yet Stan Humphries the backup quarterback is in now at least temporarily for the Redskins Indianapolis playing at Houston Warren Moon with a pair of touchdown passes each of them to Lorenzo white halftime at the Astrodome 14 nothing Phoenix playing at New Orleans and those of you who have been following the news

air and warm sunshine here at Giants Stadium where the Giants have a 10 nothing lead and as you said at the top of the telecast bill that Miami would have to pass they've not been able to pass the ball and the Giants would love to run it and they certainly have done that Giants dominating Miami's gonna have to throw the ball in second-half effectively I'm not sure they came all right let's go the conservative giant offense with one exception and of course the running game set up this throwback pass again Anderson into the line reversing out in pitching you practice and practice it but the reason this works dick is because the Miami defense is putting no pressure they're not attacking and consequently you get time to run those kind of plays Mark Ingram will the catch and that set up the only touchdown of the half and gave the Giants a 10 nothing lead meanwhile Dan Marino the passing offense really has been empty for the Dolphins 99 eleven NFL starts for Marino he's thrown at least one touchdown pass and he holds the records for three touchdown games and he's one behind Unitas four touchdown games and when he doesn't throw one the Dolphins struggle to in ten they really do and Marino I was going to have to hold a ball longer but banks and Taylor are getting so close to him he's throwing prematurely Gough starts the second half and it hits the back of an upline then covered and out to the 33-yard line the dolphins take over so Miami and damn marina we'll get the ball first is we're going to see a change in tactics or a turnaround in the game we'll see it right now too and Keith Sims the rookie guard from Iowa State will be able to tell his grandchildren yeah I went up to the Big Apple I returned to kickoff the fee a day fitting for the first of autumn bite in the air and warm sunshine here at Giants Stadium where the Giants have a 10 nothing lead and as you said at the top of the telecast bill that Miami would have to pass they've not been able to pass the ball and the Giants would love to run it and they certainly have done that Giants dominating Miami's can have to throw the ball in second-half effectively I'm not sure they came all right let's go the conservative giant offense with one exception and of course the running game set up this throwback pass again Anderson into the line reversing out in pitching you practice and practice it but the reason this works dick is because the Miami defense is putting no pressure they're not attacking and consequently you get time to run those kind of plays Mark Ingram with the catch and that set up the only touchdown of the half and gave the Giants a 10 nothing lead meanwhile Dan Marino the passing offense really has been empty for the Dolphins ninety nine out of a hundred eleven NFL starts for Marino he's thrown at least one touchdown pass and he holds the records for three touchdowns games and he's one behind Unitas four touchdown games and when he doesn't throw one the Dolphins struggle two and ten they really do and Marino was going to have to hold a ball longer but banks and Taylor are getting so close to him he's throwing prematurely Gough starts the second half and hits and then covered and out to the 33-yard line the Dolphins take over Miami and Dam marina will get the ball first if we're going to see a change in tactics or a turnaround in the game we'll see it right now - and Keith Sims the rookie guard from Iowa State will be able to tell his grandchildren yeah went up to the Big Apple I returned to kickoff the work on Lawrence guns of all complete duper's first catch of the game at midfield and a virgin on Miami this is the deepest progression of the Dolphins in the game they had not been to the fiftieth this is an excellent release up inside walls he is Marino throwing the ball on time before before walls can really make a play on the ball that's vintage Danbury a wall so sticky doesn't have the speed of a lot of coin of eggs but he's so smart veteran he's a small obvious bill parcells says the vault I don't know what it is but the ball seems to find him for all those intersections can be six light gains a couple Tony fades trying the left side behind those two rookie Walker is a giant coaches referred to them as wrote graders the way they plow the defense back from 78 Richmond Webb he's 298 pounds from Texas A&M and Keith Sims number 69 is 305 pounds from Iowa State they are big and physical the NFC is the physical side but throw my Gooper has another catch in a first down at the giant 38 so for the first time in the game the dolphins are on the New York giant half of the field Moreno is getting the ball off quicker also semantics of the ball quicker before they shall pass rushers can get on track so he's up snapping the ball quick they're throwing that quicker [Music] gives at only 49 yards the entire first half of my closing in on their first drive 29 here because open the second half here Sammy Smith and he meets a trio of blue shirts led by John Washington from Oklahoma State number 73 it's so difficult to work past those down linemen of the Giants because they control their blocker so well they come right down the line of scrimmage where the ball carry hits the hole they're waiting for is the NFC really that much more physical than the AFC well in talking to Shu they're stronger morphine eat more still the AOC now we're going to find out this the moment of truth again laitanan he's hit hard by Perry Williams who had an interception in the first half not much on that just a couple of yards as Clayton has his third catch of the game well at least Miami has field position at this point if they were to punt they'd have the Giants backed up so the role the two teams could change her quickly just with field position for Marino [Applause] [Applause] then complain right through his hands Jaxson they went for all banks started up the field been in and brake to the corner past protection was good he had Jenson in the backfield helping him beautiful throw right on the money should have been gone there just can't afford it to drop a ball like that they're not going to Skeets Toyama is going to try a long nearly 52 yards he kicked one here 59 last year against the Jets [Music] right he's got a chance it's it hi it's long enough it's gone my story Annabeth's from 52 yards gives the Dolphins how

with us tonight [Applause] however the safety man flags go down number one pick of the Dolphins a year ago and upset about something perhaps ed jerry mark bridle explained he picks up the fly oliver was at the line of scrimmage that time that's the adjustment they've made get that big guy up there to stop that load offense we have offsetting pounds facemask foul number 25 defense five-yard penalty holding number 44 offense Anneliese declined first out now that chance came out of that pretty well it took the difference at a loss five if you took the play they would have lost three they come out with no play first down again at the 20 [Music] receivers to the left dang it now in the backfield you got to keep your eye on him he slips through the line of scrimmage with all data coverage by the Dolphins they had dropped their linebackers in the coverage and that zone had all the targets covered for Sims all the time he wanted everybody was full but the defensive backs didn't buy the fake run the linemen didn't not the defensive backs they were right right with their receivers Phil could very well have run at that point but his experience paid off just threw the ball away it just doesn't want any errors here any missed functions because in a sense coming back [Music] two wide receivers left to give is to Anderson as they hope that the dolphins but he looking for a fakie and it's only a three yard gain is Alfred Oglesby the number three pick of the Dolphins from Houston made the stop Oliver came flying out of that deep metal into that running for a that time really has become a factor a year ago all kinds of problems ankle sprain shoulder problem not playing as consistency all consistent although we led the team in receptions but now he knows the game hosts the system so the major factor [Applause] that goes to Hampton who has hit shy of the first down at the no safety men come up Jarvis Williams this time is he in Lewis Oliver who played together in the same defensive backfield at the University of Florida too who can really hit and appeared that Anton had enough to fall forward but Williams stopped him cold a yard shine on fourth and one

Warren Moon touchdown passes Paige was rarely used as a receiver with the Jets and with the Lions he really is enjoyed joining the dolphins and Don Shula is a couple of catches today to give him 10 for the year he says I'm a 7-year guy that feels like a rookie I'm so happy to be in Miami well he brings a real enthusiasm and a real physical to toughness in that backfield the blocking part like an h-back pass protector but just good enough hands to be they help themselves right now Miami's come strike [Applause] check that mark Logan in ten his hands and almost intercepted girl banks was there

backside is TJ Turner he makes the tackle David Griggs there as well Sims looking for that load formation to the left isolating Makara way over to the right one on one the car handle it very very well he kept his head up kept his feet underneath him and made the stop he didn't lose his man medium six [Music] Anderson make that to Carthon the full-back briefs Carthon just for Qing straight ahead is at frontline pushing the dolphins back Jeff cross made the tackle but his credit Elliot Roberts Oaks more Andreessen bird the offensive five is coming off the line is going to be staying with their blocks sustaining their blocks and then turning their man to the outside very well done and it seems like they get that whenever they want that's the problem open our expectantly witness now they're being tested [Music] 34 it's interesting Shula in the glory days and in fact you go back to the last two times to so mark bright indicate holding against the Giants that these teams met 18 years ago over Yankee Stadium was in the midst of that 72 or 50 year number 76 John Elliott second holding Paul and he he said in those days we were the one who possessed the ball he says now we're being over possessed and that's what's happened in the 80s and he's trying to turn it around and it's not as though his style created what you see today in the sense of not being as physical because those great teams were the most physically football they dominated they ravaged the offense they just took everything away so what he's doing is putting together sighs to stop him as the Jen [Music] right at the 20-yard line John offered all coming up to greet him with Briggs as offered all victim Miami style of Defense's is a departure from NFC football here's over doll one of the great linebackers in the way but the Miami defense is a steady kind of defense where people just take their responsibilities they don't really attack by NFC teams and this is a change of that concern the Giants but at this point the judge second at 18 [Music] wide open is Maegan no one near him 50 and fine [Applause] he is 38 yards just a sense of blown coverage by the Miami secondary their Safety's just didn't get where they belong and when he released up the field there was just no one there the tire did not hold up and their Sims feeling pretty good about it they spotted that coverage and hit me I'm tired did not go up Megan you should have caught him at the line and slowed him down he didn't get it done well the fans of course would like to see the big exciting plays but the Giants are built for the cold weather and there's a definite design Bill Parcells wants a certain kind of player a player defensively that can stop the run and a player offensively that can move the ball on the ground because says once we celebrate Thanksgiving you've got to think ice and cold and strong winds and that's the kind of team I want to be in the playoffs December team second and ten [Music] play-action Sam's out and a flag goes down [Applause] again Sims I got his call Hugh earlier that Sims had dumped one off and Jerry Mark bright this time went into the pocket seems just a literally grabbing number eleven [Music] trying to fake a counterplay the other way we sent going the other way and now he holds the ball to come outside if he could have just delivered it early just a little bit earlier he might have had a play that was finally coming through was something that would make a difference by Odin with autumn who was a plan-b acquisition from the indianapolis colts no Parcells do you think he'll be a New York giant coach next year at this time I believe you will bill is a intelligent offices very telling the best coaches in football this struggling with all the stresses of being a coach but I do believe they'll stay with it for another year he has two years on his contract [Applause] the yardage back as he's now to the before Hobley and cross can track him down that will be fourth and nine at the miami 40 you know dick Quinn make it's in there you almost haven't have to have an athlete like him covering it you can't leave it to a line block or it might look good on paper or even a safety man you need a very quick nimble man to get right on his hip because once he gets control of that ball he out races in everything and you know we had him in my office before the draft they've brought him in to me you can't be serious five seven yeah hundred seventy-five we watched in the draft and sort of smiled when the Giants took him and look what they've got fourth round pick that's really paid off yes touches one but too hard that strong legged net for landeta as Miami takes over on the 20-yard line as you looked like at babe Megan what a star he is what a dimension he gives

second foot down no touchdown they settled for the field goal trail 14 3 dick all right Bob course that's a carryover from last week when Chuck Knox and the Seattle Seahawks fans upset about [Applause] mark Logan has to struggle just to get a yard as he was hit in the backfield Lawrence Taylor was the man destroying the play and Eric Howard finished it off Eric coward right down the middle Newland he is is dominating he is getting past that Center virtually every time and getting in behind the ball killer you know dick the first down play that was an incomplete pass those are the critical plays of a game Lamia set it up / cure try but six inches those are the kind that make a difference in the ballgame [Applause] Lawrence Taylor zero [Applause] Janson Hansen is shy the Giants

John Sandusky right within getting all the information he needs some coaches use a lot of it they're getting direction from up in my case it was exchanging all the time what kinds event well after this play kinds of information are you looking Giants will attend freely and the toss to Tommen what kind of information were you looking for from upstairs the first thing I needed to know it was exactly where the ball was and exactly how many yards we needed for a first down from that point we went to the categories of plays as to the situation it was third down in one yard to go I we would remind each other what we had listed on our sheets then perceive all kinds of things between syria's such as the past coverage they were using and what we anticipated things of that nature second and five flags down [Applause] first down some hard running so how often would somebody upstairs says hey bill I think you gotta run the trap right here this is the time would that ever happened no loose talk other than a few swear words that came out you know instinctively with an ING after them all the time third holding call of the game the first time Bart coats of the Giants so you're actually looking for information where the ball is you're looking hit to the next play and you call the play and it's just people upstairs reminding you of weld if you had four people on that same phone and when asked for one expected they would have their input in my case it might have been Bob McKittrick might have been Danny Green they had their input but it had to be run from the central sourcing in our case it happened some clubs each play is relayed from upstairs right down to [Music] whatever was relayed in between Bill Parcells and his staff and out to Phil Simms didn't agree with a quarterback he and Parcells will talk it over a timeout with 14 minutes left here at Giants Stadium no matter where you look there's Mazda we're introducing new products like the Miata setting new

Frankfurt to Paris come fly the airline that spans more than half the world United come fly the friendly skies the Dolphins of the 70s were a running team and they won two Super Bowls in the 80s that running game disappeared at least in the eyes of Don Shula that's why he's pleased the first two games of this year 153 yards rushing but today just 16 against this giant defense Giants with 83 they look at secondary 16 powwow between Sims and bar sales [Music] - what [Applause] excellent coverage on him down the field Odom was right with him hit the hip and it took a perfect throw and Sims almost made it the Troublesome part is what you'll see there see all the time that Sims heads right over the top very good coverage to fine athletes going for a ball the Troublesome part of this is that that seems is getting all the time he needs there again is all well nearly the perfect play but a target at 6 4 and 2:45 third and 16 in much pressure down the seam again I'm in complete Odessa Turner that wide receiver splitting that deep seam Rodney Thomas on the coverage good pass blocking line stunts up front you see all that cushion is Tsim steps in up into now that is an excellent combination tough passes to complete because you're throwing to a running target moving directly away from land Etta's high [Applause] [Music] [Applause] with the tackle [Music] timeout wouldn't it be

just feels right that often start at the 11th [Applause] open the game with 215 yards rushing in his first two games to lead the league takes two guys to take Taylor and I'm sure they planned it that way he's sitting outside the two people pushing them off the field and back [Music] Heejun excellent Walker finally Taylor does get groove back that's the most successful [Applause] and squirts forward for a first town and from deep in the defensive backfield usually means a tight end holding when you get to that fourth quarter been able to sustain anything any holding penalty like this naturally can be disastrous it'll come down in just two or three boys number 80 offense it will come down to do two or three plays dick my mean will have to get a big chunk of yardage they're not going to get it driving even though they can pull off five or six yard running play to get close that of a first down it's mark all the way back inside the ten second and 13 and this is where the China [Applause] [Music] [Applause] lately [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Moreno had nowhere to throw that football [Applause] they have to see whether clean position right there trying to get there no watch'n recover [Applause] run back full speed to a receiver right there now that's the intuitive part mrs. olive summer camp comes back leads his team in sacks to leads his team had an interception for a 10 double triple team that makes somebody else happier they're looking at the tape to see whether Clayton indeed possession of the ball and both feet down let's take a look [Music] he certainly didn't have it [Music] - Lauren Taylor explosive but what I eat when I voted who said he blocks out pain [Applause] of course reacting as they want the Giants with a ball at that 10 yard line savvy fans here at Giants Stadium understand that why the delay at this point because it is being reviewed upstairs but there's a contorted sense about the great player the Ronnie Lott has in town or the Lawrence Taylor is almost nonverbal they have a sense for the game syan pass-rush turning to run to the receiver and be heads up for the football almost like he's on the field by himself they're allowed two minutes this year so that is the rule imposed on themselves [Applause] just tough to say whether he ever had the ball that this was in and out of his hand so quickly [Applause] another thing has happened to the officials and not many folks coming about it but you don't see that decisive call anymore the official on the spot never made a call it's almost morning well I'm not so sure let's wait and let the instant replay decide that's a it's tougher for them the old school would like to be able to say after further review the play stanzas Paul [Applause] just outside the 10-yard line the Giants will attend three lead and get a big turnover I'd have to give the [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Maurice Kartha [Applause] [Music] [Applause] former buffalo blocking back for OJ Simpson you so remember how many extra yards made juice a lot of money with all those big blocks at at Buffalo and carthon loves to clear the way for his backs here with a giant brats in the free meal da come up you keep getting at oh it's a pair of shoes [Music] [Applause] [Music] miss Anderson one or two yards [Music] inside the ten you know let's have a feeling this is the time where they're going to do a little roll or a pass well three points in a sense would ice the game that doesn't mean that to make some things happen but to get beyond the touchdown lead where the way Miami is past protecting you find defense it would probably settle the issue officialy third and two Anderson again [Applause] he has to be almost to the goal line for a first down indication from the sidelines and far [Applause] I have a first down obviously spotted right on the so close to they could just get those of the ball pass the series began the ball was just barely outside the ten unless something would wrong this should be almost to the goal line to get a first step they're not going to go for the so this really is the a touchdown [Applause] you just have to Campbell [Music] [Applause] [Applause] formation [Applause] [Music] [Applause] a reason Berg and more in that case handle their man beautifully the extra point fumble recovery by two ten turns into seven points for the Giants [Applause] you'll see the ball snap in that giant offensive mind get off on the ball then Anderson's experience and savvy slipping between people and Sheila watching from the sidelines rooting for that rebuild defense [Applause] [Music] gain becomes a 5-yard one yard game becomes a three yard game before you know it it's just like a battle of attrition Giants just control the ball game toward the end where the line of scrimmage both ways that goes to the Giants today and that's just what Parcells wants from this team it's going to be a factor the Giants obviously well constructed solid veteran good mix with youngsters they feel Hampton will become over [Applause] last series was just a bad inside the 15 as you look at the 10-minute ticker bears up by a touchdown against Minnesota or the Bears defense they've only allowed one touchdown in three weeks San Diego has jumped in front of Cleveland those looking for a first win Houston and Indianapolis New Orleans looking for a [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and out of bounds he goes they mark him down at the 33 let's go back take another look at the fumble that set up the touchdown and Lawrence Taylor how he's all over the field hammering into the line of scrimmage look at his effort level he reacts to Marino's first move then Sprint's to the outside see that ball and he's so heads-up right position to get it up by a large even the best player would still be back on the other side of the field [Music] trapped at Detroit let's go to NFL live in New York all right dick you may recall that earlier in the game Billy Joe Tolliver was intercepted by the Browns Mike Johnson who brought it back for a touchdown but Tolliver rebounds and rifles his second touchdown pass to Anthony Miller one of the best young receivers in the game so that combination has brought the Chargers back up set - they lead it's Leland 1714 late in the third first Bob the trouble with the Chargers they've been in so many games last year and this into the fourth quarter with a lead and unable to hold it but boy you're so right Anthony Miller is one of the real budding big stars of he is terrific like [Music] rolling [Music] the walls walls [Applause] thirty-six Tony Martin [Applause] but against the wind Marino's arm didn't get it there and Gaytan intercepted and little razzle-dazzle you see him open deep the ball is just under Tron Moreno had every reason to be able to throw that every chance because he had his feet up underneath him throwing the ball just either the wind caught it or something but some the flutter fell short and you see the result for the first time you had marina with big [Applause] [Music] the 27th [Applause] Delia Tynan with Jets David was a seventh round pick by New Orleans last year [Music] elemental squad now it's a matter of just taking that clock as far down as you can take it and just hammering it to shooter was concerned especially last year was defense fading in the fourth I'm sure they all when they can look at the films tomorrow [Music] establish yourself right now and a flag goes down now we hope you stay tuned tonight I'm NB C for two outstanding movies and then Monday night tomorrow you can become a millionaire pick up an NBC McMillan's game card at your nearest McDonald's watch The Fresh Prince of bel-air if your number matches the numbers revealed during the show you can become a millionaire so watch The Fresh Prince of bel-air tomorrow night for the kickoff of McMillan's on NBC happy faces there's company walls no no mama still Cosby coming restaurant down there in Dallas now with Tony Dorsett and seriously one of the great ones of all time to fall I think you'll be fine the rest of the day family they stay on the ground of the 13 own the gamble put it in the air it's a fairly conservative offense so the Giants and they had the team built for it well you add a walls to people like a tailor and in banks walls experience can really help out especially late in the year they'll put him on the best receiver he'll play soft and deep in the zone and probably the best interception man the game has seen in a long time well over 40 interceptions as a corner [Music] there Sam's and he gets it to Megan [Applause] they're just some athletes that are wonderful to watch run and make it's one of those away heat gets those feet moving short of the first down and in comes a leg ready to try a field goal that would move the Giants up to 20 to 3 you'll see people as fast as may get to not playing nearly as well or not even making it in the NFL but Megan explodes wherever he goes full bore speed it doesn't concern himself where the hazards involved that's why he'll explode through a hole and a lot of people would be very tentative about like Grave started the scoring today with a short 123 yards and now from 40 [Music] now that's his first Miss of the season three four four four Alegre it stays seventeen three [Music] haven't

rushing records at the University of in this career as a pro across the 30 to the 33 yard line for the first time the Giants rushed three people and are softening their coverage Marino should get some conclusions underneath [Music] Lawrence Taylor and Leonard Marshall putting on the heat gym just hasn't looked good to be honest we that he had to screen opportunities that looked like he was waiting for somebody to hit him as the ball was coming and that's just not Jensen because he's been one of those toughest guys crash Jensen in the league is a special teams player just not him [Music] [Music] in the middle of the field the Dolphins having trouble picking up a yard or two against that tenacious giant defense you'd think he'd run to his left maybe they're trying to run away from Taylor but with web and Saints the two massive rookies on the rough they still ran right offside number 56 z-pinch lined up in the neutral zone first down they're just staying away from Taylor dick that's all there is to it they want nothing to do with him I don't blame him LT his son is a young aspiring football player trying to follow in his dad's footsteps who just eight years old get a chance so one of the mothers filming the peewee league in scoring his first touchdown [Applause] there is the first search of the [Applause] and Marshall [Music] [Applause] initially the tailor was well blocked but Moreno had to move to avoid Howard and then in a sense created all kind of turmoil you see Taylor coming here and being reason well but but Howard forcing in here with confusion and we had really nowhere to go just a lot of bodies we see him moving around down [Applause] a Thompson on the coverage I've seen a lot of Moreno games and some brilliant ones over 500 yards against the Jets a couple of years ago many for touchdown games in fact he's only one shy of Johnny Unitas his record but not many days like this for Dan Marino the Giants have really slammed the door on Bill Belichick deserves credit for a lot of this just the style and of course talent-wise [Applause] railing 17 2 3 trying to come up with something big guys Russian troll [Applause] the offensive line was collapsed [Applause] at the field Jennsen trying to come up and he can't quite get the job that banks just takes him apart and then Moreno throwing didn't have much on it [Applause] 39-yard but nine yards on the return Lawrence Taylor well he made beyond the backside of the mountain but for many players they'd like to be disclose to where he is in their prime we also they complement each other with banks and Johnson and Taylor they've got a group of people that attacked Elliott one of the best defenses in football inch Don Shula hoping just hoping against hope that his team has matured enough and developed enough to play equal to these guys they're just not ready yet I guess when you go back to thunder and lightning we have heard some rumbles now from Lawrence Taylor at the end but on such a beautiful day no sparks no lightning from Dan Marino on the other sideline Taylor what did Parcells say there's Marino and a spectator wondering that it it says competitiveness that as a coach he suggests you'd love to have a guy it's a great player but he's just so competitive and we saw that in on the fumble recovery that we did it also the best players are [Music] [Applause] [Music] or Don Shula I'm sure is looking for that my George Halas win record this is not this is not something you can predict him getting it very easily because this Miami team is still most likely a year or two away they may be able to win their division but he still needs better and more personnel and he's going to take another full year to get into the Giants category well but he doesn't have to play the Giants of the lady every week he gets to go back to the AFC where obviously the competition isn't quite the same he won't be running into many giant defenses [Music] well you said that the Giants at the start if they get around 20 first downs it'll be their game and they have 16 and we're going for 17 as that one's going to be cold back and we have holding lis number 65 feds first out Shawn Lee limping off for Miami at second on oats today dip you combine the first downs with there aren't sixteen isn't that many but it's the defense for the Giants also in sort of an ineptness on the part of the Miami office and this is what they expected this week they've got they've come alive so this is a setback now I'm sure that Don Shula the truly great coach that it is will get this team back in sync again they'll learn their lessons this is early barometer of where the how far they came grasp the Bopper doll trip him up but Anderson got an extra three out to the 50 and iron-jawed leader of the Dolphins has a three year contract three more years he needs 39 more to pass Alice all time Liberty Mutual Insurance presents legends of the game he was the MVP in the 1962 NFL championship game

thousand yards in three decades his rookie year ago this third okay Lionel Manuel first down at the [Music] [Applause] well a three-man rush in Miami not going after it [Music] I would think if they had it to do they just sell out which to try to stop them because a game slipping totally away from them now there's more you're sitting back in a prevent defense and the Dolphins spend their final timeout with 221 ago [Music] time to go boys you put in there long enough but don't sparkplug guarantees that we do in total command from the opening kickoff 17 to 3 with 2 minutes and 21 seconds to go Fontana job well done on this Sunday and a 300 start for the Giants the reading three-man line that Miami plays just can't stand up for this giant giant office is just too strong too big too physical Anderson was so short-handed all makes the tackle and that's why Bill Parcells apparently is not using some of those younger bags he wants a man that I'll take it down to the two-minute

be blitzing everybody they've got just to try to stop this thing Anderson right see if bill parcells just runs it out no he's going to bring on a leg ray for a field goal well in evaluating this Miami team two-on-one is certainly not bad especially in their division there have been some improvements but I was disappointed in the passing game maybe they've given so much time to their running and rightfully so but Marino Dan wasn't as sharp his receivers not as added pushed too far into them so he was throwing off his bat back foot all day now there aren't many defenses like the Giants but to get to the championship level my passing realist rides they have to make 45 yard attempt Alegre that gray to frustrated Bill's 222 three [Music] so Jana vich having only one and he made his 51 yard

behind by Lawrence Taylor as he throws to Jim Jensen complete out at the 43 yard line banks makes the tackle 15 seconds showing on the clock the penalty apparently in the grasp now they're saying now incomplete backs incomplete is the goal the giant defense with two deep safeties and then a number of people across the front with most often three men rushing is unique to them they've really made it work bill we saw the Bears in their opener two weekend and they impress this with our defense and the Giants well it's this is a defense that you're going to have to be very very good and physical up front on that offensive line that beat this giant Club question Moreno had a couple of chances down in the field might have helped out but just missed them and against this team we can't just miss you only get a few shots home that rallies and finishes still but it doesn't eight links back it's in the giant stay and they're gone epicycles [Applause] to Jensen and Jensen gets to the 47 yard line Lawrence Taylor limping at the end of that play he's grabbing the back of his leg so we'll just have to see that's where a hamstring is pulled but he was fatigued on the sidelines then cold had to go
