1992 Divisional Round Redskins @ 49ers

in the best quarterback in football the last two years and this season's MVP yet Steve Young is still haunted by a living legend in the beginning no one could catch him [Applause] he turned the comeback into an art form and his ability to rebound from injuries would make the Six Million Dollar Man in India [Applause] can we build him we have the technology we can make him better than he was better stronger [Music] but two years ago we found out that even the Bionic quarterback is mortal the 49ers rescue comes Steve Young statistically he's been every bit as good as Montana but now it's playoff time and erasing the memories of a legend will be tougher especially when you look at joe Montana's trophy case the Washington Redskins added trophy number three to their collection last season but they never regained that form this year Washington still made it back to the playoffs to defend their hard-earned title and last week they flew the doors of the Metrodome today they're prepared to meet the 49ers head on [Music] it could well be candlestick like outside candle [Music] usually Pleasant considering all the bad weather forecast we've had throughout the residents of the town to face the 49ers hi I'm Pat Summerall and put to rest all those words about this being joe Montana's team it's Steve Young steam in fact George Seifert the head coach of the 49ers tells Steve Young that personally before every game they play I'm Pat Summerall here with John Madden and John it seems sort of fitting that these two teams who have dominated pro football the last few years should be in a game of this magnitude yeah you know just look at what's happened since 1981 the Redskins in the 49ers these two teams have had the best record in football they played in ten out of the last eleven NFC Championship game they've won seven of the last Super Bowl so when you get to the playoffs now these two teams should play each other you know Joe Gibbs came in last night he said they're calling this game mission impossible Joe Gibbs likes that kind of talk he said and we just kind of keep going and going and going because they still are the defending champion they have that championship fiber but our days are going to need a big game today for mark Griffin and the posse because on the other side they have he's thrown to Jerry Rice who may be the best wide receiver who's ever played the game on one side john taylor on the other side Brent Jones is a tight end Ricky Watters is a running back I'll tell you the 49ers have everything and the Redskins are going to have their work cut out today the 49ers will open with the football it's a soggy heavy field and a big chip low miller set to kick it off it will affect the traction on both sides of the ball I'm not sure who that helps but it won't be what they but this will be Martha Logan [Applause] their Brantley made sure he stayed down Steve Young opens the quarterback for the 49ers what a year he's had in front of him and they've all had good years - Wallace McIntyre suppose Foster Harris Barton back and right tackle Brent Jones the tight end Ricky Watters and Tom Rathbun who had a rest two weeks ago right and John Kahler [Music] [Applause] thirty-five bergman Steve Young yesterday he said he likes to get the ball early Carrie right he sure did Washington defensive line boom but in May great Colin and Wilbur Marshall Mayhew Johnson Edwards and Copeland the secondary [Applause] Redskins secondary two or three-year the cover men appeared to slip on that first play when they were covering right made a lot of people slip the 40-yard line of Washington a gain of five knocked out by Andre Collins and this is playoff football right here to get the defensive guy you get the offensive guy and you get the coach right in the middle of it it must be playoff time solid ingredients solid coaching by that guy over a period of time and your was Bill Walters team and they offense your secrets has taken over he has done an excellent job Ricky Watters got knocked right into George Seaford he got knocked in there twice I think George Seifert throw the left I think he does I think I see the left hand coming I know he messed up his hair that's not a good time yeah well well got perhaps a yard Turvey it's been raining and raining John you've been here you know it's been an unusually wet week this this field cannot take these the wet because it's lower than sea level and it used to be the same thing over at the Oakland Coliseum and when it gets wet here it just stays there so pudding is going to be a problem this is you're going to be a heavy field at the start and it's going to get heavier as the game goes on three wide receiver set up for the 49ers Mike Schur are led by Ryan young back to throw after Brett joined the great feel straights it one more time again Edward excellent pass protection here pet here's what it all starts with because Steve young doesn't go to his first to see him before watch the time he has he's looking out to his right come back to his middle to finds Brent Jones going across and he hits a wide open tight end but that's the thing about this team is it all starts here you talk about the wide receivers are back but they have a very good offensive line and offensive line that could give speed the protection of evening first and ten at the 20 [Music] Thank You waters [Applause] puts it down to about the five Danny Copeland picked him up fifteen day and that was an organized scramble this is a bootleg they're going to get two backs go to the right right with the ball out here now it's an option runner pass but I think he was going to run all away he just used that fate of the past just to keep that defense off and Steve Young is one of those quarterbacks that when he gets on or near the sideline that was illustrated right there first and goal from the five McCoy Tyner very impressive [Applause] the Redskins had a cut of it we're one of the risk in [Applause] that's the thing about Steve Jonjo he could move and he moved out of the pocket like three times here it is if the bootleg again is the same play that he had just run the play before on you see it just goes right through AJ Johnson van Gogh beta was there first who went by Gouveia and then threw AJ Johnson and then finally to touchdown to John Taylor talking concentration go past one player to another extra point good never nothing couple erupt again dan again [Applause] NFC divisional playoff the 49ers very impressive on that opening drive six plays 83 yards three minutes and 12 seconds Taylor got the touchdown young 68 yards passing he accumulated the big 135 yards to right 15 yards running here Danny Copeland back deep for Washington Cofer to kick off for the 49ers [Applause] Ryan Mitchell Annabel mark Griffin opens at quarterback go to the rebuilt [Applause] all right finer month standards in park receiver that all changes from play to play we'll be with that back [Music] [Applause] [Music] ma rippings aim but aim wasn't very good on defense the 49ers bagans Carter and hope the front three Romanowski Walter DeLong and Tim Harris the leading sacker the linebackers Griffin and Davis the corners [Applause] second of ten goodbye now side of the 25 to the 27 that picked up before and a half perhaps Mike Walter made the tackle earlier today the bills still on a high perhaps from their comeback last week over Houston beat Pittsburgh 24 to 3 Buffalo going to their third straight path C championship [Applause] it's gonna be a factor and it's going to I was monk in motion and rest [Applause] he was put on by Pierce hold a baby Pierce old made a heck of a move he came right up the gut he gonna sleep you cold is right here [Applause] straight up the gut on that place what you did was the thing then you call that a squint move he hits Moretz with his inside and what is outside arm over and the next thing he saw was mark ripping that is called a sack I don't know what the heck mark rippln was doing or what he saw but that was an awfully dangerous thing to do wasn't it so it's a loss of seven good burns fun they'll take over and about midfield leading 7 nothing already 29 yards on the punt that's all food-wise I can't believe they went with the Frog GUI our audition was flawless so we did the look huh we did the tongue thing that was great frog so dear yes hitman number one rule of marketing the Budweiser lizards we could have been human as will be other audition oh yeah for what this was Budweiser burn up this was big those frogs are gonna pay let it go Louie let it go back in muddy Candlestick Park although it's not raining now the field is very soft and you can look at the condition of it already torn up and it's gonna get worse done in front of him by McIntyre that first drive of the 49ers was it was excellent they had six plays it was all a Steve Young driving all passes and the only one run was his running and the 49er offensive coordinator now is Mike Shanahan and he's a guy right there in the middle and he has the same thing that Bill Walsh used to have where he would script the first 15 plays so he has him in fact on Friday night he sits down he decides the first 15 plays they're going to use other pocket rambling first flag on the play kids have the football country covered by strat endless there was a flag on the play the Redskins felt coming into this game in fact Richard Pettibone says the only chance we have here is by getting turn over any of these for number 80 oh there's number one little ears decline first Ann Cashion annalee declined so the Redskins will take over at their own 37 is one thing happens when you when you run with that ball in a motion that is a wild motion things are going to happen now let's number 60 Fred Stokes here you see you can't see him coming and that's usually where the ball gets tripped was when the guy comes getting behind and does that shock move on you and more and more they do that right Lawrence Taylor first started at Fred good at that time we got three yards DeLong and Carter made the stop yeah it's funny with these big games you can say that this team has the offense in the yellow against this defense they have to do this and after that and the one thing you can't account for our turnover we've talked to Steve Young yesterday that's rage that we can't have any turnover you talked to Richie Pettibone the defensive circle question he says we need to know if we don't get / no we can't win that it a lot of those names that you mentioned the shanahan of course has been rumoured going to Denver Richey Pettibone they talked about taking over for Mike Ditka in Chicago you know that Richey Pettibone has been one of the big top assistant coaches in this Lake for so many years and you know that his day is going to come via head coaching this way [Applause] and he is a bright bright coat seven [Music] [Applause] Gary Clark might be enough for an eight-yard pick-up stop by McGruder Griffin had to throw that ball a long way for a simple square out I know you know Gary Clark is the type of guy that always thinks he's open and you know what most of the time he really is whether you need that play just like that to get a first down Clark we'll get it for you you need the big one he'll get that one for you and I don't know if you could measure competitiveness and a guy I don't know many people with major very true Griffin cake are out of bounds at the 49er 15 if there's a questionable part of this 49er machine it would be against the path and that's what that's what the Redskins felt they felt if we can get the time we can get some running going so we can play fake which that was that we can get deep against these guys they have a young inexperienced secondary yo Dana Hall is a rookie back there at free safety they want to take advantage how they block Tim Harris you keep your tight end in and you have Kim Lachey one of the best tackles in the lake [Applause] he's about their only dangerous path record the loan flipped receivers without wide to the right they go to Boehner [Applause] DeLonge stop them after two now we're getting into an area where thee the Redskins have really had trouble this year if you've looked they've been inside this 20 the red zone they call it and the Redskins aren't the only ones that have had trouble this year in that area but they've seem to have more trouble than anyone else they scored a touchdown 36 the NFL average is 48 percent I know when I was coach I I used to think y'all want you up there for a touchdown but defenses in more field goals than you think [Applause] [Music] and gets a first down at the three gain of canid will be first and goal Washington finally taken down by Romanov and that's the thing that you have to do if you have to be able to tackle in the open field and that was Romanowski that was you're gonna see Keith DeLong come out here and miss the tackle you see they got him pinned in here he cuts there you see Romanowski misses first that causes a little spinner and the spinner right in there behind his belong and then he spins right out of both of those things and gets the ball down inside the 5-yard line we're searching don't [Applause] about the one and a half stop by Michael Carter he's gonna be hard yeah that's the thing it's it's you know if you can't block the nose back well then you better start thinking of running a couple holes outside because if you can't block that nose tackle then you can't obviously run over the center you can't run over either guard area riki Sanders was the deep back nine [Applause] [Music] [Applause] a Redskins stayed in regular formation they had three wide receivers one tight end usually they go to a form of a couple of tight ends down in this area but they're not Joe give one the threat of the past even though he still ran that counter pray play the 49ers want to squeeze that counter pray take the whole inside away and if there is any that one we out [Applause] heart rate and we'll see chip Lowe Miller exactly what you you know an average you you have a lack of success there and then you get down there and it's just hard to have confidence and and they didn't look like they had confidence in one to plays that they were calling or running those places they call [Applause] Miller he was hooking them badly in pregame practice and that one just barely got inside the upright 7/3 [Applause] get off the stage your mother's an iguana Hey my mother's half of Guana I'm sorry I meant no disrespect Candlestick Park for the NFC divisional playoff game the 49ers in the Redskins Pat Summerall John Madden 426 left to play in the first quarter Niner seven the Redskins three grant logan back deep Lommel or they kick it off [Applause] and the airline you see the the defensive lineman I think there's Pierce Holt there he's looking he's looking at the the pictures you know they they take shots for the linemen from the end zone and then the linemen will look at the different shots and and you know the plays and the blocking schemes and all those but defensive linemen [Applause] they just get down there to dirt button roll around and they thought they don't know [Music] breathe for him then correct pattern Ricky Watters I think was the intended receiver as you look at this field Pat you can see where the problem is going to be it's going to be right here in the middle of the field look all the way down all that stuff down there is mud and dirt and is starting to get dug up already and I think that's going to be the problem area the slides that looks pretty good right now middle of the field is dug up [Applause] can roll it again right couple yards short of the first down I wrestled down Danny Copeland a day ashamed Collins made him after hurry on that one if you've got to look for rice he's the guy to look for they haven't gone outside to have going inside they have them come on underneath they have in rubbing option things just anything that to get the ball go now here's where the pressure comes from 91 you see Shane Collins there he gets right by Steve Wallace and if Steve Young doesn't throw the ball in he's going to take a sack [Applause] see today Gary right by AJ Johnson when they talk when you talk with the other 49 employers about Jerry right they'll mark off some more when you talk about Jerry Rice they just shake their heads and admiration and say whatever he gets face back he deserved and that's right because because Jerry Rice I mean he's not only so good but he works harder than anyone else yeah I mean he's out there he's the first guy out on the field every day he's the last guy to leave he runs every play as hard or harder than anyone else and and anything that he gets and every player feels it if anything Jerry Rice gets he deserved I think he did it first in 10:49 the water interesting George secret he said when he when he thinks he might be practicing too hard or too long that Jerry Rice's its barometer yeah you always have to have that you know there there are some guys that if you use them as a barometer they get tired during stretching exercise and he'll tell you that some of these big old linemen but as George Seifert says when you look at Jerry Rice and he starts to get tired or your practice is too long or or too hard and you can see it in his face in his body you know it's time to quit second and 11 all the 49ers are saying he's the best pass rusher on that team guy McIntyre knows it in fact jumpy gathers has a move that's called a forklift he gets under you pulls you into him woopsy and walks you back into the quarterback guy McIntyre pulled a forklift on the forklift if he was complaining left side hit by Andre Colin up to but jumpy gathers is like 290 pounds and he's one of the best pass rushing tackles and football and guy McIntyre is a pro ball guard but he's not a big guy I mean guy McIntyre has to fight to stay around 260 265 so he knows that he's going to be outsized in that battle and then jump he got that move that old forklift and I he he does it to the biggest and he does it to the fast and McIntyre knows he better get a little help to block jump together [Applause] right here they try to cut John [Applause] let go intended for rice Wallace trying to cut him what they did yeah Steve Wallace is going to come down right here on it and then what they're going to do is just go up lay pass to see their faked in a run Steve Wallace takes that as made jumpy gathers has a bad knee but if you're going to go for a gauzy you better keep him down jumpy gathers gets up and when he gives just a little bump look at his jumpy gathers here after a little bump there's about a three yard separation there so a pump will average about three or four five yards you know as you say jumpy to me sort of [Applause] nervous guy it means he makes the other guy jumping the pressure again [Applause] 23 yard run you can't call that a scramble and you can't give Steve Young away that's the thing he's going to go back he's going to look now here's what he sees if we stop her right here he's looking to pass over here there's nothing here but look at this running lane that he has here and he has a running late here now they didn't give him any any pass lanes they didn't give him any pass coverage but look at that big running Lane that they gave him once he gets by that first group he has 15 yard that's the end of the first quarter with the score oh if only I could swim I would swim over there now I would go up and I would say hello I'm Louie how are you nice to meet you and then I would grab the other the heads I would hold the North bit of water like this that's Louie you are one sick lizard well usually they're seagulls when you're at Candlestick now there are people I know you know and the interesting thing pet these guys are all behind the red skinned defense where the 49ers are going they're not working on the field where the 49ers have already been these guys have to be 49er fans look at where they're working on the field they're working from the 20-yard line in where the 49ers are going they've already been - about the [Applause] there is an excitable guy Ricky water it was balanced yesterday his tattoo is his dad doesn't something has to give just don't ever let it be you and he said he goes into every game thinking about that and he never is going to let the thing that gives be him just like that another 49ers not only Ricky Watters there but their receivers everyone have done an outstanding job waters got 15 down about the a go I am a policeman Joe Gibbs has a as a thing he always tells his his team to wear smart shoes don't wear dumb shoes and that was one of his coaching points coming out here that the candlestick is going to be heavy there's gonna be a lot of mud but it's okay we practiced in the bud we know what we're doing but we're your smart shoes don't worry any of those dumb shoes second and goal 74 right right quickly by Martin Mayhew pick up a five yeah John Taylor had a broken leg this year up she just bubbles mouth that's that's you know oh yeah he's gonna put it back but he's gonna wipe it off a couple times just say you're going to get it you have to write that thing off a little first but John Taylor is one of the most underrated players on this 49er team Jerry Rice and for all of them [Applause] I do though he didn't get in Wilbur Marshall led the rest in charge he's about a foot short but a flag on the play I think they're gonna call the 49ers for holding it could be right here at the end of the line Jamie Williams number 81 Rathmann had his shoulders Square to the line but he got hit and he got his shoulders turned perpendicular I think it didn't make any difference anyway because this is going to be a penalty against the 49ers then the replay it looked like it's on Jamie Williams played everything during the run being read lips read cash instead number 81 and that's correct yeah you see him he just reaches out and grabs he starts off with a hold then he keeps a hold on Fred Stokes number 60 and then it eventually becomes a take down go from the right rice on the same side Monte Coleman not knocked him down after gain of seven and the 49ers come on with a field-goal unit and that's a big play big play by the defense here even though there was a penalty involved there they still stopped grassman on the goal line and then Monty Coleman made that tackle and you look at those plays and you say well it's not a heck of a lot but those plays or that penalty or any way you want to look at it it could be a four-point play if they make this field goal if they don't it's a 7 point defense off a four point play turn the game around no food is good with bone [Music] [Applause] this will give you a pretty good idea the condition of the field and how important look at his left foot copers left foot and sometimes that one becomes just as important getting it planted correctly as the foot with which you kick back out here the fields in a little bit better shape Brian Mitchell and Danny Copeland back deep for the Redskins Cofer to kickoff much wind at Candlestick Park [Music] Mitchell at the [Applause] they shut the alley and the door very quickly 17-yard returned green buddies I got some bad news or we got canned they want us off the rocks putty in that at that what did you just say kin who got canned okay freeze the swamp you guys can talk of course we can talk your bonehead what does can mean you said was button we were reading from the script you should try it sometime what does can mean don't break guys fired can means fired I can't breathe gonna get sick wait no don't get savings ik but you have between your life someone get him a bucket now how is that supposed to sell beer this game summary is sponsored by Kodak photo CD system to summarize Steve Young 109 yards passing 46 rushing rice 64th postseason reception is a new team record the Redskins three points came as a result of a turnover a fumble by young they have it first infinite their own [Applause] [Music] in the first half Michell thirty and a six yard pickup as Dana Hall came up to lead the 49er tackler Brian Mitchell had such a big game last week against the Minnesota Vikings he had been primarily a special teams guy a punt returner kick returner cover guy and had only carried the ball six or seven times during the game and they brought him in last week as a running back and against the Vikings [Applause] his life he'll again [Applause] so went to college he went to Southwest Louisiana where he was a quarterback but he said he was a running quarterback so he was used to running all his life and of course it's tough to run when you don't have time you see a safety here against you run ripping back to throw do it more then enough for the first down to Sanders outside the 40 11-yard gain stop by Griffin riki Sanders there was one of the first guys out on the field today and was interesting he just came out here and a pair of shorts and his shoes on and he was trying to feel because he knew it was going to be a problem and I've always felt in a sloppy or heavy field that the offense has the advantage [Music] [Applause] to adjust to it Thank You Mitchell [Applause] safety man who is to be any sort of flag it's going to be called against Gary Clark because he ran into Hall you see number 28 is Hall the rookie free safety he has the position he starts to slide and his beauteous they if there's anything to call which I don't think they should call anything but it would have been on Gary Clark Paul was stumbling into a position and Gary Clark just pushed him from behind second and ten four out of seven way in the second quarter [Applause] about the 46 stop by Walter a gain of five out come the umbrellas and the jacket yeah but you can't bring it on brother it's got to be a rule you can't bring an umbrella to a football game buddy dude the guy in the middle the guy has some problem how's the guy behind him see you quit if we your gear on what about the people next to him what a dope relevant the football week [Applause] the weather right ought to be a rule you could never bring an umbrella to a ballgame to go to rule let's go to the league meeting [Applause] whether the areas that we talked about earlier that if the 49ers have had a weakness issue it's been the secondary you know people have been able to work on their corners Eric Davis Burton Hanks there are two safeties wit Morin and Dana Hall but again you know they play just well enough that you may get some plays but you're not going to get a whole lot of plays and if you don't then there just slices yuck back to punt Allen grand deep good burn [Applause] residence we got the ball [Applause] because that's on their sideline more than likely they have to have a lineman downfield but I don't see it on like yo yes there is the play yeah there's light down on this side of the field to say anytime there's a a play where it's broken and it takes that much time there's going to be an ineligible man down the field just know it has to be you don't know who it is but you know it has to be unless the punting is punt receiving team has done a heck of a job on the outside and not letting those guys get down field red Kashin will let us know by the time I mean that took so long by that time the inside guys felt that they have to go because they usually don't look back they usually count 1,001 1,002 1,003 then they go [Applause] and that's one of the things are always taught is when you're going down on punt coverage never look back that applies to a lot of things yeah the other thing you thought is you only want to hear one bump that ball just goes right through good burns hands I mean he just sticks that as the end of the ball hits him in the thumb one official is saying that it was a catch there was no infraction on the play with the first down yeah [Music] we just assumed that there would be someone that downfield illegally but I guess they didn't have that good bird makes a heck of a play if you can call that a heck of a play him it looks like he just threw it up for grabs in the middle of a crowd Johnny Thomas came down with Thomas made an amazing play he took about a heck of a play that was a heck of a play he's falling down first down [Music] wide receiver and we'll throw a Ricky sander incomplete [Applause] hey smiling yeah I think that troll when you're Kelly good bird and you have a play like that I think all you couldn't do is laugh about it you can't take credit for it there's Thomas the guy who caught the pass and I I don't believe that he's saying nice pass [Applause] I think he wants to contact us tonight father why didn't catch the ball [Applause] what does a guy couldn't see he lost his keys gone [Applause] Eric Davis Marc Griffin was saying last night that if it is wet and if it does start to rain you had to loosen your grip on the football that one might have been tipped at the line of scrimmage [Applause] a lot of balls shifted the line he has a lot of balls come out differently that one came out by role and it was tipped by Ted Washington number [Applause] back [Music] edek step yo last night we were talking to Gary Clark and he says the ground has been beating the heck out of him he said he's really been getting hit you know you're hitting the ground and he said what can I do about it and I said don't leave your feet just run through it and I think here if he runs through that he catches that ball he didn't have to stop running in order to die and then of course he wouldn't get bounced around like that by the ground that's a good look done with the mouthpiece out you got you got this stuff here you got the mouthpiece flying out you got all the blood here and here up there that's not a bad look that picture alone just might have gotten in he's always that [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and about the one by the Chalmers number 41 he was down there to bat it backward Candlestick Park in San Francisco here is the punter you know al Boyd Mays was the first guy number 20 there he makes a heck of a play by getting it out Thomas is underneath it but he doesn't recovered Thomas knows if he recovers it his knee was on the line so it was the next man up that recovered that ball that wall didn't recover because it was covering a part that was a smart play that's one thing [Music] very smart player and that was that was a very Johnny Punk he made the catch on the broken punt play sign to get some room to Jason but the man who stopped it now the 49ers are having some trouble here and bad field position but if you look Steve Young being left-handed and I had them feeling I think the Redskins had the feeling he does won't give his stuff to the left side of the field to the left side only one out of queue [Music] water and a first down out of bounds of [Applause] 12-yard pick up we're talking to the Redskins last night and Richard Peddie beau was saying that there it was so difficult to really get a beat on I think having that 15 place ripped it helps that but again Steve Young you see him he puts waters out here to the left knows that if he can get the ball to Ricky Watters Ricky Watters can make miss forty-niners are not is predictable [Music] 20 and again the advantage of a guy like Mike Shanahan the script in the first 15 plays because you know what you've done the past weeks and you can script your first 15 plays to not be predictable but then I think if you were going to get predictable you would probably do it after the script ran out which is this part of the game second and six rushing yards the 49ers have 72 24 the Redskins here second down the thought [Applause] rice was out of ass the intended receiver Jerry Rice is one of those guys that believes that if you're going to play well and I have never heard this by any other player and National Football League but you got to look good and he spends his whole time on how he look I mean he polishes his helmet his jersey has to be just right his pants or our tapes too does Jersey so the shirttail doesn't come out he has the gloves he has those things on there those wristbands despite this the Sox have to be perfect everything has to be perfect before he stepped on that [Music] [Applause] picks up 13 yard here are you talking to Steve Young yes that he filled it for the first time this week John Taylor is back you know he he's been such a big part of this offense he broke his leg going across the middle in the middle of the season came back here at the end of the season it wasn't really a hundred percent but both Steve Young and George Seifert about the John Taylor is one [Music] left side for a couple maybe three yards this is doing a pretty good job down there as Harris part in the right tackle the 49ers he's he's made the Pro Bowl this year but he's been out three weeks with it with a bad knee you watch them right here he's gonna be blocking against Charles Mann Mann also has a bad knee so you came to see two guys that have been playing all year and are pretty beat up and that's about what you kids gonna play off my stand off or worry warranty with [Music] young [Applause] Jay Johnson first down 5:24 left to play in the first half 10 to 3 49ers leading the Jerry Rice is one of those players that you always want to get the ball too early and get him involved in the game and of course Steve Young has done that you know his first pass of the game he threw it to Jerry Rice he kept him involved in the first quarter kept him involved in the second quarter and when Jerry Rice has four passes already then they have him involved or he gets involved the better he get [Music] [Applause] [Music] arrow down into care he hit that hole you're gonna talk about a trap let's just watch this play here we'll see it come across the trapars right there you see Govan is going to come up 54 hits the hole here comes a trap boom you just knock him out right there there goes Ricky Watters with right inside that trap play guy McIntyre was a left guard he came across the trap he's going to pick up gobei a boom right there all Ricky Watters hits it quickly then makes a heck of a move [Music] flashes briefly into the for instance secondary down 30 a gain of 4 remember this all started in about the wooden foot line with Young's quarterback sneak now they're at the 29 yeah and I think your waters running to Pasadena and of course they're talking about the super ball I think that you know maybe at the end of the season you have to say that Steve Young has been the biggest surprise of the 49er to do making the MVP and the league and all that stuff but I think the biggest surprise for me good a player he is and what a contribution [Music] [Applause] [Music] pass intercepted at about the five this is one that did not go through his hand and I think that's the young should hit both sides of his head on that one he was rolling to the right which he usually doesn't do he was throwing back which he usually doesn't do and he was throwing it right to a guy in the other color jersey watch him he usually goes to the left now he's rolling out right which is tough to do now he has to step and throw back and his guy isn't even open he's frozen right to them too much air under that bad you know something Lou yeah I know why we got fired too much of your yappin and not enough of this what's that hey that was uncalled for oh and electrocuting us last year was okay that was a joke oh you like jokes huh here's one for you - frogs walk into a bar one of them does this daddy want a piece of me changing colors squirt some tears punk 3:28 left to play in the first half at Candlestick the 49ers tenrecs Game three [Applause] [Music] [Applause] struggles to about the 12 got a yard maybe to Kevin Fagan on the tackle Terry Riley even looks neat standing there yeah it does a properly he's talking to to Joe Montana there first a guy of Jerry Rice has the all-time record a guy that helped him get that all-time record is Joe Montana on the best who ever played this game if not the best regular CG games it starts at 12 o'clock Eastern with the NFL the day Griffin hits month [Applause] about a foot shy at first down well they have a cushion over on that side Eric Davis was was on that corner the the 49ers play a lot of zone defense and and it was to the wide side of the field they didn't get any underneath help at all and watch how much room that Art Monk has on this side if we can just look and stop it now we see that what happens is Eric Davis runs here and that's what allows this question there [Applause] and that allows the 7-yard cushion very short [Applause] and off definer first down Redskins 12 yard gain Don Griffin had to make the stop and a buy a little breathing room and that's the thing that the Redskins want to do they want a time of possession keep the 49er offense off the field they wanted two turnovers they just got that before this they wanted to be able to to control the ball and then of course you'll make some plays as they go on right now they want to get a play run timeout 49ers not a timeout they have one left San Francisco does Griffin hits for the sidelines to talk with head coach Joe Gibbs and company back at candlestick 221 left to play in the first half 49ers 10 Redskins 3 Washington ball first down at their own 26 Joe Gibbs he seemed I thought unusually relaxed unenthusiastic left smile in his face came into room just got off the airplane good mission impossible John my six-gun in Harris said you know earlier in the season he got he got penalized for doing this and here's Tim Harris right up here will see him working on Big Ed Simmons and he's just going to go into him start like a bull rush and then make an inside boob on it Simmons moved his left leg out of there anytime a tackle takes his left leg out there he gives the inside and Harris says he can do the six-gun as long as he doesn't do it towards a quarterback or the other team so it doesn't look like he is taunting the people that he just defeated coming up on the NFL today halftime report Greg Carey Randy cross and Mike Ditka will analyze have [Applause] [Music] all the days playoff news that's coming up at the half will be second at 16 for the Redskins you'll probably say the 49ers should've ran more when they threw those interceptors we couldn't be thrown the ball that and the reverse tomorrow [Applause] Oh all the way back and is stopped by Martin Harrison leap Dennis Brown week number 96 he had two shots at him West 96 of it he's a big old 300-pound guy boom right there he misses him and then he's gonna get up and bunk is gonna come back now watch 96 is gonna go boom right here he misses him again he gets blocked and they finally get him down both Dennis Brown Spanish [Applause] 30:13 across the middle [Applause] [Applause] I think you're right back that's supporting either Paul Whitmore came up with it let's stay now see the ball came out of his knees in hit he wasn't down there was no ground or anything he was up in the air and that ball came out while he was in the air that's a 49er ball he said David Whitmore he just he just took it brought it over here that's what everyone does that's a new flame you notice that the guy gets a ball no matter what the play is gives it to the equipment man [Applause] and then the equipment man puts it in some box and then you have no way gonna get some TV time and spin around backwards almost mater one-handed jump together is getting a little jumpy that's a foster in there you know who has really done a good job for this 49er offensive line he you know about Barton and Wallace they're both in the Pro Bowl but the the middle of this line of the 49ers Roy Foster at the right guard and just used to pull oh the center they don't talk much about those guys but they've been very steady very good player these Steve yarn is pretty smart for a quarterback if you go down and you're on your back the big guys are fighting over the top get your foot up where you keep kicking simply yeah broken up they're always put a broken in the air big guys who fight for others [Music] just as he made the reception gets to the 30 a gain of five stop by Stokes less than a minute down 47 seconds young called all for San Francisco that's one of the problems where the quarterback doesn't call his own plays and things are scripted and plays are sent in you get to a point where you're trying to save time out you're trying to call the plays on the field and you just don't have the tools to do it there is Steve Bono Jill Montana well a lot of teams would like to have any one of those three quarterbacks been there all in a line the Joe Montana course if something were to happen to Steve Young and I think that's the only way he would play in this game would be the backup quarterback he's in this game as a number two quarterback Steve Bono is in this game as the number three quarterback but more importantly than that he's the holder for the extra point in field goal they only went with two quarterbacks it would have been Joe Montana and he would have had a whole you know it's amazing we'll get into this way now superstition for yesterday we were talking to George Seifert you asked him what were his some of his superstitions and [Music] I'm a part of being a super sister gain of 14 and again the 49ers have no timeouts now so they have to make this no huddle work [Applause] well he didn't what he was trying to do was pull out throw the ball down and stop the clock he wound up slamming with both hands I know it looked like I mean it was close to being a fumble you got to watch out you got it you take that ball then bring it back and then throw it down that looked like it was all one action from the snap to going down just watch it as it comes out of here he just gets that ball huh he did okay he just throw it down with two hands thirty seconds left [Applause] I'm out [Applause] touchdown boy I can't give up much room [Applause] because he threw the interception on the time before then the defense without their they coverage with Ryan and Steve Young got his chance again [Applause] John Taylor no watch 84 9 8 down here the closer you get to the goal line the more he looks for Brett Jones they have Brent Jones fumble back in my end zone if he did the past was complete he might have they talk about him you look at watch him run [Applause] for that tight end anyway he did catch the pass because he caught the ball came down with Bo then he has the ball then as he goes in he atop a bow now it is a fumble so it's not a touchdown until now when he recovered a government it was a throw a catch a fumble a fumble recovery for a touchdown but I started to say a minute ago this guy Brett Jones they say as a great feel for the passing game he doesn't run much of a pattern watch this well again they don't have to if you just watch the tight end when he comes down he'll just be in the middle and if we could just come down here and just let him go and then we'll see where he stops at his own defense we stop it right now you see how the defense all kind it comes around here and just leaves him open in the middle of the defense and usually in any type of zone defense or double coverage or any of that usually the guy that will be open is the tight end in the middle of the field but he's got to know who where to stop in that zone Yeah right and there's the other tight end Jamie Williams is the back up tight and he's the he's the slower of the two Brent Jones the receiver the faster of the two tight end and Jamie Williams is a blocker and we've caught Jamie William Holden one time today and he gets upset with it but he's just lower of he's gonna be sorry to hear you said that he says the V ever sports our touchdown a big best one no comment nacho [Applause] and Mitchell - about the 22 clocks still running with 15 seconds left again a reminder that coming up at the half nfl's a day with Greg and Terry Randy cross and Mike Ditka and playoff news coming up on the NFL today at the half when they rammed across was going to say I told you those 49ers were that good Mike dick is going to say [Applause] the last two minutes [Applause] they might get one more play same gag the Merton hang stopped him timeout Redskins they will get another play for last week there was that that picture of Gary Clark and Joe Gibbs joined each other in the sidelines of but Joe Gibbs says was it the Gary Clark has tantrums I mean he's just one of those guys that there's a competitor and he just comes over to sideline and starts yelling at everything and Gibbs told them calm down calm down because you know if you have a temper tantrum early in the game then you drop balls in the second half well that's it Gary Clark off again he said what do you mean drop balls what do you mean drop ball you don't have any confidence in so Joe Gipson yeah I do have probably so then they have a meeting and stuff in the couch and all that stuff and everything is back to normal but Gary Clark does Gary Clark and Joe Gibbs and Joe Gipp and it's hard to say it's back [Applause] he always wants the ball let you know about it fighters can run out of bounds with one second left o'clock one second left in the first half 17 3 the 49ers leading that was a gain of 21 you still have to say that this is probably the best coaching staff International Football League they've been together so long Joe Gibbs and the rest of his staff and you know and what they've done and accomplished over the years you know has really been remarkable and he's done it as a gentleman [Music] been good for the game with [Applause] associated that he's gonna throw it up as high as he can as far as he can [Applause] most part on [Applause] [Music] with the score that 17 the Redskins 3 I crushed a lot of quarterbacks in my day and I'm real sorry so I wrote this letter dear quarterback's I apologize for the way I've treated you please let me buy your light beer from Miller writes my beer because it tastes great I'm sure it's yours too cuz you little guys can't afford to get filled up see you soon sincerely LC Greenwood beautiful Miller everything you always wanted in a beer unless I hear that LC Greenwood has invited quarterbacks to join him for a light beer from Miller well here's my reply dear LC I accept your gracious offer a quarterback is far too intelligent to turn down a light beer because it's less filling and it tastes great even your big clumsy lamb and know that sincerely Bert Jones come on like beautiful Miller everything you always wanted in a beer unless how do you do that Joe Montana loosening up don't expect him to play unless young Steve Young gets hurt then you of course hope that doesn't happen yo Pat we just got a report that we lost an official to a leg injury head linesman Sanford rivers is out and he's going to replace they have an alternate official in these playoff games and Sid seaman who will replace them there's CID semen right there he's loosening up he was on the sideline in the first half and now he's going to be in the game in the second half Topher's set to kick-off or getting set to kickoff [Music] and Mitchell back deep for the 17:3 forty-niners on top they've just about been unstoppable in the first mentioned a moment ago they haven't had the punt yet again I think I think that because they've been able to move the ball around they've been able to run their offense they've had almost 100 yards in rushing as I said the Redskins haven't been able to stop the run [Applause] through the 26 perhaps halftime statistics the 49ers 14 first down 60 more yards passing 60 more yards running more time of possession they own the first half and I think the big thing when you talk about the Redskins I think is right here only [Applause] defending Super Bowl championships Rep [Applause] feel Clark first down Whitmore made the stop Washington's first half possession resulted in a their points another punt the fumble the thing is when you only have eight first downs like they did that means that you together so there's going to be [Applause] [Music] [Applause] enough plays to do a whole lot of but the Redskins who make [Music] [Applause] [Music] monk Harris with the pressure rippen has a pretty clean Jersey though and you're talking to Tim Harris yesterday he was saying that they feel that you have to knock ripping down you know that you can't let them stand in there and be comfortable and even though you don't get a sack in fact Tim Harris said even if we have to take a 15-yard penalty [Applause] [Music] ripping down and approved [Applause] [Music] for the green spot maybe he had Sanders in mind but it was in the back of his mind if you look at the at the first math mark rip and he was sacked twice early three times and they've only bid to knock him down one time but they say you can't as you mentioned they can't let them get comfortable back there I hurt you I don't think he's gotten very comfortable back he's on the run he took his eyes off downfield and he would look right down at him and then came up and had a try and throw it third is intercepted by there's hope put the pressure on you have to give the interception Eric Davis you give the interception Eric Davis but you have to get a little part of that to Piersall see tears oh tears hold is good he's right here he makes us women he comes right up here and I'm sure that Mike mark grip and feels OC to see that swim move again on Charette he's right there he made rip and step up in fact I think as he stepped up I think he may have tipped that ball a little gripping had to bring the ball down and then look at this this is the interception off with good coverage but have all started with the with the pass rush [Applause] at the 40:46 a pickup of nine Brad Edwards knocked him out of bound I think dear soul has been playing and playing a pretty good game in there today you know he's he's up against Marx larathen and he any and he has a sack but he's he's right there in the middle and I think that he's he's starting to give ripping some problems he's a it's amazing he is yeah he was a guy that you know got out of high school and didn't go to college to play football for four years got married went to work [Applause] legally blind professional football this time legally blind in one eye as only 10% vision in his right eye and that's the thing in Eve you know so he doesn't see all that stuff from the right on he he says that he can see anything that's coming down from his left and then and then he feels instinctively you know what's happened to the inside and that's why he plays the left side I mean you can turn your head to the inside but you have to be able to see out here [Music] [Music] [Applause] Andre Collins made see this is the thing that they could do is they can control the the line of scrimmage here they can they can block they could run the ball you see Roy Foster an excellent Drive flock and good start Steve Wallace pulled all the way couldn't even find he poke from the left back wall Oh ever couldn't even find anyone to block for ten yards that Hall was so Bay the counter tackle Steve Wallace pulled up through the hall well they could have given the ball to Steve Wallace what's their Wilber Marshall and Andre Carlin stop water you know there's a name that we haven't heard much today as Wilbur Marshall I think that the the the 49er gameplan has done a a good job of keeping Wilbur Marshall out of the plays he hasn't he hasn't really been an affect on the past he really hasn't had an effect on the run part of it has been he's being blocked part of has been they've been staying away from [Applause] third-quarter he's only had one tackle at the quiet Wilbur Marshalls having his best year [Music] young gets away being chased by yeah we're like me you see but says there's Wilbur Marshall who would just say that he hasn't done much against the past here he comes on a blitz I think the 49ers believed that do the running back waters blocks away no one blocks Marshall Steve Young no is so strong that he didn't see him coming Wilbur Marshall had a straight shot at him and still didn't knock him down you know that's one of the things John you don't hear much about about Steve Young you know he's left-handed you know he can run you know he's got a strong arm but you don't realize how big and strong he is [Applause] like he just say his spring [Applause] [Music] a lifetime the John Taylor Daryll brain now you know the Darrell brain has a has a heel injury [Applause] of course when you get down the third quarter you down 17 to three give me everything you have fourth and four no field goal kicker they're gonna try to put this away 17:3 49ers one left in the third [Applause] they must they must believe that Cofer couldn't make it we take a timeout they have to believe from this distance on this feel meal that Topher didn't have a good chance of making it 17 3 we're getting that thing ready this isn't a bad feel for it they're kind of Gutzon was that other word grit all right no no no glory [Applause] [Music] scrambles for the first down but a penalty marker down Darryl Greene is applauding so I would guess it's against San Francisco Klaus would he applaud well probably because it's it's fun to be against San Francisco which would probably if they take the panel if they don't take the balance the first answer they have to take the path that would probably put them in an area where they're going to punt too far it anymore I think it's gonna be under 35 they're probably going to have to punt it as a yeah yeah first one of the day there's the penalty right there you saw right foster number 67 the right guard he just couldn't make a move to block Darryl Greene after he looks at that 15-yard penalty and have to force the punt II probably would have been better just letting Darryl Greene go Klaus wounds Meyer back to punt for the 49ers Brian [Music] [Applause] James on the 49 down it shucks Thomas down dat is batted backwards when you start something good everyone wants a piece of it take light beer for Miller now there's lots of light beers out there saying they're less filling yeah that was the easy part the hard part is brewing a light beer that tastes great that's why lights always brewed only with the finest ingredients I'll add all that great beer taste come through for guys like you and me the taste has made light beer for Miller America's favorite like this hey I always thought it was easy own in cash [Music] there's a heck of a play fat here by Martin Harrison if we watch him here and downing that ball watch her button he just runs right by two of his own guys makes a headfirst dive and gets that ball back out there [Applause] the four for the Reds Jen down 17 3 [Applause] out of bounds at about the 11 by Romanowski that play had everything month was one of the guys who before he went out for the pass [Applause] the penalties against the Redskins [Applause] yeah you get to the playoff John you think about it they've always they are moving on the offense and let the players play and you sort of get that impression about this one today with red cash and his crew yeah I've always I've always felt that [Applause] [Music] [Music] they stopped by rich before the ball was snapped Goldstar [Applause] [Music] [Applause] whether he was saying that they that the offensive line you seen with shade right there Jim Lachey the left tackle started to move he's blocking Kevin Fagan he started to move backwards before the ball was snapped so then they blow the whistle so there's no play and move it back again [Applause] [Music] [Applause] those things fixed at halftime [Applause] [Music] perhaps the 49ers secondary the steadiest best defender yeah he hasn't in and he's the he's the Bedford he's the seven-year guy and he's the he's the best corner they have he's the best cover guy in fact he's one of the best cover guys in the lake and you saw that I mean he just had Gary Clark and he just had that whole thing and made a good they're a real quiet guy pipe leader later who doesn't by the way he plays rather than going deep intercepted by with by David Whitmore that was just desperation by Mark Griffith he was just going at it he just launched anything he could anywhere he could that was really not a football pass [Applause] that was a throw on hope they're saying I believe that he might have been down back here as a result of contact as needed touch the ground that's what they're going to rule and as you said it has to be down the knee has to be down but it has to be a result of contact - there has to be contact by the other guy you could see that his knee went down but you don't know when the contact occurred we watch this David Whitmore gets the interception here he has it now and I guess the knee is getting there and then does ricky sanders touch him or once the where is my contact they say that while is people on the ground her seizures did make contact with him [Applause] the penalty is marked off get out of bounds after the interception if he was down out can he get a penalty I guess it's a personal foul which can't go on funny yeah right that's that's the thing you don't just just because he's down I don't know that they blew the whistle though yeah the other thing you know but just because he's down and that doesn't mean that you get a free shot at him that was okay by Lachey there and they got rave round for that second hit out of bounds first and ten at the Porter [Music] for more head down polls for a first down go Bayon 12 yard gain the 49ers do this better than anyone this this bootleg thing where they're going to take their fullback and they just run the pullback right inside the tackle if you see him coming here now here's the tackle that Rasmus is going to come and run his pass route right inside there so he gets lost in the line of scrimmage to see and then he comes right though tackle lets his guy come up the field and makes a lane for him then they bootleg and they let him run in that Lane better than anyone else portrait those little young they're on his feet finally [Applause] the one thing when a quarterback goes to throw the ball you never leave your feet that's rule run french-toast did with the Redskins made up for it at the end of the play they did get the ball back mynique Olman made the recovery as Steve Young his second fumble today again he's one of those guys when he starts to run with the ball he's reckless with it and when you get reckless with the ball then some things happen you see he's down [Applause] [Music] and just date down he would have been okay they brought some of the fields of the sideline wouldn't as this team gets another turnover now their third and help so much so far or they're gonna get there for first down What did he say since he did not put his head forward he said there was no contact with him the first time he went down and then since he didn't put his head I'm not sure exactly what [Music] No 17:3 the 49ers lead 7:40 left in the third period here's the turnover well you watch no one touched him now now he's going to stand up and his own guy Jesse Sapolu right there you see me table and Mitchell and debate he couldn't be there a ramble of 26-yard by Mitchum I don't even know if Jesse Sapolu needs ed knows that I mean those guys are so big and strong did they hit something like that they don't even know that they in it here's to squeeze that make it bounce out and squeeze that one they gave Brian Mitchell and inside halt Martin Rubin had such a great year passing last year that everything kind of went his way and this year in training can't be held out and he seemed to struggle all year I mean today he's 9 for 20 phrase from two interceptions [Applause] early season in the middle [Applause] Michelin does finally although the 49ers played it well [Applause] just to clarify that fumble by Steve Young a minute ago he didn't give himself up my sliding as quarterbacks often do is what they're saying we got up [Applause] they have protection and he was down and no one touched him so he was still alive and then Jesse suppose me just knocked the ball out of there [Applause] those two things go together don't they good protection that's completed I'll tell ya that's that's where it all starts you can have all these wide receivers and you can have posses and you can have all the framers and you can have played and you can have all this stuff but if the guys up front don't get the guys block then it's all academic [Applause] no game Ted Washington and Dennis Brown no and I'm sure that the Redskins sideline I'm sure that they're talking about what Buffalo did last week in the second half I'm sure they're talking about what the Philadelphia Eagles did last week in the second half probably what they did last week [Applause] game in the second half they go no huddle that Iran Middleton about 270 pounds the 49 or 35 shy of the first down stop by Michael Walter Ron Middleton is a is another tackle more than a tight end [Applause] for the first down by Mitchell said Washington on the bottom of the file be closed it's gonna be an interesting decision for Joe Gibbs got to go for it down 17 to 3 to go plenty of time [Music] I don't know with this pudding it would be Popeye I don't know that you don't have enough time to punt the ball here if you if you don't have a first down because I would hate to have to get a first down against a goal line or short yardage defense in the middle of this field you're all red skin fans right here hoping for a first down here [Applause] you've said so many times before when they get close to a first down always know exactly it would give you a signal with their hand and the Redskins are going to go for it get the ball in the quarterback sneak by ripping and he'll get it now that's why Joe Gibbs is joking see how makes those decisions and activate the same decision that you said that you have to you have to do that but you worry about being able to do it I mean mark ripping that makes a good play here cuz he could just as well have slipped and not gotten back to the line of scrimmage course rippen's a great big guy he goes about 2:30 he's where he just doesn't go straight ahead behind the center island they're dripping by Gary Clark somehow [Applause] [Music] [Applause] one thing that a field does is is just what the Oh balls just fly out everywhere this is one of those pile up spats that could change hands once the balls under there behind the mud the guy that had it at first may not have it when those officials find out who has it [Applause] there could be some foreign objects in anything down in that pile there are some guys could come up and not have all their number left on there's one foreign object in there ripping Gary Clark looks like a warrior in there somewhere he was going to be in on that pile fighting to get that ball back Brian rippers in there in over-the-top the Redskins had it before second down [Applause] and Mitchell first down he's down to about the four teens wrestled down by Eric Davis 25 yards don't count the Redskins out yet Brian Mitchell comes out of the backfield he starts out from the left hand side he's going to come into the middle right there they're just running that pattern against Romanowski no romanesque you had a cover a man to man I tell you Mitchell is one of those guys who's good in the open feel he's a good punt returner and a good pass receiver and then three gets the ball he's a good one he weighs 210 reppin fake too [Applause] Gary Clark was in the endzone open and you'll hear about that and sir mark Griffin's gonna hear about that Joe Gibbs will hear about that bro the whole group jim manikan line Oh [Applause] if it's just what you see they got the three guys over on one side and then the two receivers are running the pattern one deep in the end zone and the other one that Clark think that he right up there well he started to heathrow coke [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] by Eric Davis had him as a receiver yeah that was great coverage by Eric Davis because they were going to Gary Clark all the way Gary Clark came in he was going to run a corner pattern where you started inside then you go back to the corner rip and watches them all away you see Clark starts inside stumbles a little then you go back to the corner into the pose back to the corner and that is perfect pass defense that's as a corner complain man [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the first half [Applause] Harrison came from the Harrison is the speed guide you're going to see him come right around the corner from the bottom this race he 56 right there he just comes right there and I don't think to rip and saw him at first ever when he did see him he tried to get and throw the ball at the same time soon from 32 yards out chip low Miller made one from 19 but he had a tough time and Norma Rutledge the holder lo Miller is good and in 17 to 6 the 49ers lead at third quarter [Applause] you don't think that on a rainy day in a cool day and a moist day like this so the guy would need oxygen but if you're a big old lineman and you're fighting out there against those other big ol line you need oxygen even on a cold day Miller's he goes a flag on clay [Applause] Brantley makes his second tackle on a kickoff today it's gonna be against the 49er one thing the 49ers have been able to move the ball against the Redskins but I think they've been able to do a lot of things in and and not take advantage of being able to put her in the right holding number 65 of the receivers 10 yards from the [Music] the opportunities they've been up and down the field but they haven't put him away they've left this defending champion stay alive 2:11 left to play in the third yeah boy this is good hitting whether you look those guys come out to the 20 I'm wrath but he gets all that counter stuff he has to do all the blocking I mean he looks like a football player he looks like a full bath he does all the blocking he does all the pounding then they give him the counter remember we saw that that passive econ there was a counter pass and then that run was the same type of thing where they hand in the ball watch Ricky Watters starts this way the Rathbun goes on a counter the other Harris part of the lead blocker take it down my man from the backside you think of that counter play that the 49ers ran with number 44 carrying and you think about the Redskins who made that play famous with number 44 now everyone has some form of that counter play and you know it run and pass but there's still no one that does that play better than the Washington Redskins and no one ran it better than Riggins the mark grip and he's still trying to go and do a lot of things better than John that's true [Applause] the rest is going to have that problem inside the 20 out of his hands I don't there was no forward motion of his hand boy that's it up we play something bad happen there yeah [Applause] - in the referee court the he clapped his hands calm down red cash in point yeah that whoa goes up and that that's a fumble read Paul's ban on the ball you see his arm has to be going forward the arm was going forward but the arm went forward after the ball came out Fred Stokes grabs and tackles of holds on which he can in Charles Mann number 71 is going to come in and jump on the ball I think Steve Young is still down there fighting for the ball we saw so I thought Charles Manhattan [Music] [Applause] we've often said that more now watch the ball come out see the ball is out of his hands before his hand goes forward his rule is a fumble recovery while Washington first down at the san francisco 15 de a-- that's four turnovers for the San Francisco 49ers we talked to Richie Benjamin last night he said we have to get four turnovers by young but he tried to make it now [Applause] finer to the one [Applause] [Music] we're hitting that finality mixed with the urgency the urgency that the team that wins goes on the team that loses is eliminated I think that's why every play is so big every tackle is so big every time the ball is honored here the ground is so big that was no fumble there now that's the end of the third quarter though with the score San Francisco 17 Washington 6 our coverage will continue after the you're watching the NFL on CBS [Music] no one can save you now hey Ben we could we will defeat you and take your Miller Lite not if we choose the weapon take your football very clever get off yeah it's good we are saying you've got the great taste of a nice cold Miller Lite life is good you are worthy opponents let us celebrate I do a good sports bar around the corner life is good the NFC divisional playoffs San Francisco 17 first and goal the Reston I think the 49ers that time we're waiting for the quarterback sneak remember the last time they had the fourth down on the drive with it rip and kept it alive he went with a quarterback snake and I'm sure that the 49ers are playing what they called gap goal line smash where you just sell out everything to the inside and if you go play pass or [Applause] smash goes to that thing [Applause] [Music] second down he came close this time touchdown touchdown [Music] [Applause] what anyone thinks something changing way as that change you know in every point that the Redskins have today are the result of a turnover [Music] extra point is good and 14:36 left to play in the fourth quarter 1713 this playoff summary is sponsored by Budweiser Steve Young three fumbles one interception Washington has gotten all their points as a result of turnovers here's the touchdown again do it happiness Michael Carter works to the outside that wasn't GAAP goal I'm smash that was goal line adjustment where he was going to take that outside hole and then the linebackers were going to take the inside hole and then ripping just quarterback sneak into that inside all the way back kick off his deep stays in the end zone it'll be first and ten 49ers from the 20 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] feeling still as they said yesterday that no matter what happened outside of an injury we won't see Montana yeah I still believe that I believe that this is Steve Young season this is Steve's young team [Applause] I think they had a number of opportunities to put it away and it didn't put it away Hector my report for first in 10 to 20 [Music] who led the tacklers yes sometimes everything in the in the halftime you know you start off and you have that first drive and everything goes so easy that it comes back and haunt you later if it just seems like you know be they've had the ball three times the second half and you could see that they would get stuff going and then they would fumble it away something looks like it's too easy and you will [Applause] [Applause] last time that time they got a couple stop by Tim Johnson well you know anytime you get a pullback like Tom Rath but a big old guy out of Nebraska and a blocker who got stingers all the time going he's gonna cut that skin tight darris bark the right tackle went outside and he wanted Rathmann to bounce that thing outside and follow him your name's Tom Rath verse 44 you don't bounce anything at this game weighing about 230 [Music] knocked away bring out a touchdown that went through his hands have you come back and you think about that but they as Steve Young had such a good start where everything was going his way including that pass at AJ Johnson mr. new first half but now in the second half he's lost the momentum he started to struggle a little wilmyer mouth trees on the side of his helmet [Music] more than ever [Applause] be a good place for it the residents will take Oh 23 down [Applause] no teeth up there [Applause] left to play forty-niners 17 redskins 13 [Applause] first down Washington at the 45 knocked down by Eric Davis yeah it's an interesting thing in this game whether you call it momentum or you call it confidence or whatever you call it the 49ers had it in the first half and the Redskins have in the second half here Gary Clark just comes all the way across the field you get in that zone you get behind the linebackers and in front of the defensive backs Valley in that cross out two yards and you get a first down and you had good pass protection [Applause] liner Timothy oh stop talking about good pass protection fat Jim Lachey they big tackle for the Redskins is out he has bad ribs and chocha Kobe number 66 has been in there playing for him and you lose one old warrior and Jim was shared and then you get a real old warrior in Georgia Kobe the water substitute to have we want to take number 66 with me SiC gets into 49er territory for more yards stop by Ted Washington they'll need to fir first the Redskins came back in the second half and they started to to play football which is the thing we talked about halftime being able to run the ball now they're running a ball with minors Brian Mitchell and being able to stop the run they're stopping the 49ers so the first half was not read the second half [Applause] Sanders and most them's gonna throw got his first senator Sanders inside the 49er 40 to the 37 a pickup of nine and up by Griffin and again he has excellent pass protection you see they end up in a triple formation three wide receivers on one side Sanders runs an option pattern he starts in if the guy is covered him to the inside he runs it out the watch his pass protection the toughest pass protection is the spied the quarterbacks throwing to [Applause] because you not only have to block your man sweet a passing lane [Applause] fast caught Gary Clark again first down Washington and Joe Jacobi's doing a heck of a job of passport entry oh yeah yeah we talked about an old warrior guys been in this Lake for twelve years has everything bad shoulders neck arms knees hips everything but he is really past protective on these last couple of plays and he's the guy that has given ripping the time [Applause] area for to throw to [Applause] they tried to make him play defense and you think that when he came out of college he wasn't drafted with a free agent [Applause] and Mitchell lost it dog these fans know how big a play [Applause] that's right lost it that was ripping he thin he's supposed to hand that ball off it started to come out of rippen's hand before it got to Mitchell watch's rip and never Brian Mitchell he's supposed to hear the ball started to fall out of his hand he won it in the pocket just about where the front of your numbers are and the ball hits him a little low you see it it slipped out of rippen's and he started to the ball slipped out instead of being a hand off it was slipped into Brian Mitchell there was not fault it just slipped away from rippin on the exchange [Applause] Paige scrambler [Applause] down at the 40 Monni Coleman Steve Young 49er first down clock running with just over nine minutes left yeah the interesting thing the cheering race hasn't caught a pass yet this half we talked about how you have to get Jerry Rice involved I think that was a big part of the 49er success in the first half and I think that they better get him involved again in this game yet [Applause] first down 49ers at the 40 because of you mersive things up with Jerry Rice and that makes a lot of things possible if you don't loosen up with him then the whole defense can tighten up on you rice is the man in most outside the 45 pick up of six the stop with help from the safety man Brad Edwards Montana loosens again you know what Ricky Watters can do so well Pat his spin and you know I mean a lot of guys at the end of the run that they'll explode and that's the way they finish off a run Ricky Watters at the end of his run he spins so you go to tackle him and you come up with air a big part of the time watch him here as he comes instead of just taking that guy in a fitting you see that spin now that spin doesn't more yards but he doesn't take that big impact changing at the lioness [Applause] for Jason in Dallas do now tell you they dinner what Jason but he's going to come free and again it's going to be Steve Young's backside Steve Young first of all is looking to the left he doesn't see or fetal Jason buck come from that side third can God could cause the fumble and the Dallas game the red stems hanging [Applause] Darryl Greene is one [Applause] right as you said [Applause] yeah that changes the whole game when you get cherry rice into the offense that changes the whole game and the guy is the best receiver who's ever played the game for a reason and when he's not used then that goes against you when he is you then that hurts the other team no matter who the other team is because now they have to say Jerry Rice now they got to put a double on Jerry Rice now they have to loosen up so that gets some Brett Jones stuff going I get your running game it gets tailored yet metrics a lot of other things going and rice the connection gets the first down [Music] [Applause] it's just a plain work you start to see what he did to AJ John he really ran him off he finally comes back into the plane but he looked like he did give his hands underneath there I think he did from our angle he certainly did you know when you can go deep and you're respected like Jerry Rice's you just run a little hook and a quarterback in that case with AJ John's the up for you get the first down [Applause] one just kicked waters in the hand did you see you can't do that to the guy he's a funny guy though waters as brought a lot of running to this team and he's brought a lot of life to it to him and he's the guy that everyone kids in practice and he kids everyone in practice and that guy has more energy than probably any 10 players on this team Roger Craig in his heyday do reminds me [Music] the waters again [Applause] three yards on his own [Applause] he knew that then is he's looking for something now I mean he's he's looking to break a big one here he said it all week all the players were telling him two words you know our backs against the wall you know it's a short season it's a new season Super Ball and he said what am I going to do different I only know one way to play anyway what am I supposed that's all we've ever seen down close to four minutes [Applause] was to rise incomplete covered by AJ Johnson and that was close you're not gonna see Jerry Rice drop a lot of passes but he has a Jade Johnson he has him going and thinking now and that passes right there and he just he just let it get too close to him McGarrett that that was a perfect pass that day yeah he has good pass protection and he's had it all the time here see Harris Barton on Charles Mann up there you got that thing you just get that hand up in there so the guy can't get that inside just bounced off his body 37 see if the Redskins come on a blitz they don't look like [Applause] with his head down [Applause] it's short of the first half to assist on that [Applause] interesting call here for George Seifert [Applause] and I think in this in this fetus for seven I go to 14 where a touchdown convenient they're going for it and I think that's a very intelligent call I agree with you touchdown can beat you well you know the thing is as it stands now if they if they don't if they if they put three on that it would be 20 so then a touchdown could tie them they need to get to the line for the first down a foot or a season [Applause] this could be [Applause] / yet by any me [Applause] has it straight ahead sleep he went almost over the right tackle to get it yeah he started out over the right guard Roy Foster then ended up in there between Foster and Harris party I think that's a good place to run a quarterback one way or the other but watch if he's going to start here and you see that there's fluster there's Harris Barton he darn near got all the way outside the Harris part but he was going down that line and trying to find a soft spot and he found that tough spot really and what you call the six hole the off-tackle hole seven carry [Music] while still running [Applause] timeout Redskins with 238 left to play leading 1713 thirty-eight seconds left to play this drive by the 49ers has consumed six minutes and 45 seconds valuable time I think that's that's the key thing because the the Redskins were just taking a game over they had the confidence they had the momentum they had the 49ers got kept it like you said for almost seven minutes [Applause] at the 18 or rice covered by Johnson in the endzone this game presented by authority of the National Football League this CBS telecast intended for the private use of our audience any rebroadcast or other use of this telecast without the express written consent of CBS the 49ers and the National Football League is prohibited third and nine they use five seconds it's 2:30 [Applause] team Washington third [Applause] and off to Ranma - about the 14 timeout Washington and the 49ers went for it on the on the 4th down and again they they didn't go for the field goal them but now they have to go for the field goal so you say well they have to go for the field goal anyway but the two things they did is they took some time off the clock and of course they got better field goal position for Mike Cofer most kickers are better particularly soccer-style kicker 'he's from the right hash mark yeah because they all have that fun the natural hook but the one thing that he's worried about is you see him there is his plant foot you know that when he puts that left foot down that it doesn't slide see him keep working that left foot there that's the one it's not the right foot that's going to do the kicking I think he feels pretty confident about that but if he has any question is mine right now it says left or official swim that David moved it all the housekeeping help Francisco 20 [Music] 2:22 left Reston's one timeout [Music] one has a celebration the only yeah I really think about this is that was a big kick for Mike Cofer and in fact into preseason these two teams played in London and Mike Cofer there was talking about he wouldn't make the team that he may be cut he made a big kid to beat the Redskins in a preseason game and with maybe more important than beat up in a preseason game kept his job there was talking that he was going to be cut that they were going to make a change but that kick they say saved his job and he still has it today's game was produced by Bob senator and is directed by sandy Grossman the coordinating producer of the NFL today is Eric Mann the NFL today was directed by Dukes truck and the senior producer of the NFL on CBS is Ed Goren Cofer kept his job now you can put up a sign that with it field goal the Redskins still have 2 minutes and 22 seconds to tie this game with a touchdown takes it at the core [Applause] got out to about the 22 10-yard return mark Logan down to make the stop Logan always excellent Griffen 18 out of 30 46-yard he stored the touchdown share a shop on the field off the field and he has two minutes the 22 yard line [Applause] rippen back to throw [Applause] [Music] there's hope we'll be the last to get up and that was excellent coverage down here he was trying to go to art monk and that wasn't as much he's fever he's rolling out and he's going to go down here to number 81 art month now watch Eric Davis here again good coverage Eric Davis has made some big plays today you see ma had month double that's who he was looking for that so he wanted to throw two he could he took the sack hue minute warning two minutes left tomorrow starting at 12 Eastern Philadelphia travels to Dallas to battle the Cowboys playoff return to Dallas for the first time since 1983 and Jimmy Johnson's team has had two weeks to prepare for the next phase rebuilding program [Music] the Super Bowl the Cowboys in the Eagle 12 Eastern with the end yeah back in 16 out of bran Mitchell alright that was a big drop there because I was not only a completion of what had got him out of bad feel position but it also have given him a first down how can fede case [Applause] probably had that idea okay we'll bring the confetti [Applause] wait fifty-five [Music] 22:13 [Applause] bye Clark that gives them breathing room fame - on the stop a 24 yard gain no huddle it gives a breathing room it gives them a whole new set of downs and it gives them a lot better field position [Applause] for a touchdown a field goal so good [Applause] they only have Dennis Brown made the sack on trip and they'll stop the clock day with a minute 25 again I think that was a coverage sack they did the same thing earlier mark rip and roll they had coverage on monkey on fake a sack and took one and 14 started the clock again after the sack flag on [Applause] Harrison on it [Applause] he made the tackle I'm not sure who fell on it but the flag was way downfield it's against the 49ers and the Redskins did fall on us though it's their ball anyway [Applause] holding number 26 on the defense it's the first down [Music] [Applause] and that's the big thing in the couple of things days one that they caught it I mean I mean II be almost took Clark's Jersey off right there but it also to my new side of town [Applause] as well throw this I guess who here's hope nemesis today from Mark Griffin in that passing pocket has been fearful not only when he sacked him but he's been around there he's been knocking around he's been stepping in front of him get in this game is on the fence [Applause] last one fifty-five seconds left on the clock 22:13 years old has three sacks the and he's had a big day against marks arrests there mostly once once pierce Felipe's [Music] tackle position what's it a tackle breaks loose in the middle boom he's right in a quarterback space he should be listed as a player yeah that's right he's just a football player hey he looks like a football player he acts like a football player the most importantly what about placed like when every guy your phone will tell you never runs down and everyone it's always going to fall out the 49ers took a lot of grief a lot of people for drafting him [Music] minor college small college they [Applause] there's written was the intended receiver art month was the intended receiver out of bounds in front of the 49er bench third down Joe Gibbs is one of the few head coaches in the lake that calls his own plays that's his game plan there he has that written out just on the yellow pad always thinking ahead knows exactly what every situation is [Applause] and 17 here's good is incomplete through the hands of Ricky Sanders it would have been enough for a first down 41 seconds left to play they have mark Griffin is doing his part as you said that went right through Ricki Sanders his hands we had went early where Brian Mitchell went right through his hand but again mark Griffin has taken criticism this year some of it you know he's had some problems but everything that goes wrong with the Redskins offense is not mark Ripon break some out of the huddle this is the Redskins [Applause] 41 seconds rippen all the time in the world he doesn't complain Middleton Griffin couldn't find to throw to Jim celebrate [Applause] ran through the mud manners will advance now they can pull out that confetti yeah the championship game we'll be right here yeah like I said there's no better feeling than winning a playoff game that takes you to a championship game [Applause] [Music] the defending champion we just had a shot of ba-boom we just had a shot could be his last game Georgia Colby and what a warrior he's been and he kind of represents this whole team of the Redskins they've had their injuries they've had everything go against him that they could they just fought through it and and they got here this position [Applause] remarkable achievement with all we they had to get this far you you
