1997 NFL Washington vs Dallas,Nov 16

but go up in flames but the Cowboys have shown signs of an offensive resurgence and are still alive in the NFC East race they could take a big step towards saving a season turned sour by defeating Washington today Redskins coach Norv Turner looks to continue his mastery over his former team and win for the fifth time in six tries led by Terry Allen the Redskins hope to avoid last year's late season collapse and make a push for their first playoff berth since the days of Joe Gibbs [Music] cool sunshiny day in Texas you're looking at Texas Stadium in Irving Texas halfway between Dallas and Fort Worth the home of the Cowboys for this rivalry between the Redskins and the Cowboys as they continue and over the years John madness has been one of the most intense rivalries in the history of the NFL and there was hate involved they were all kind of insults involved as that kind of rivalry still exists you think I think so I mean you know there's just so much history here I mean you think of Tom Landry and George Allen and Joe Gibbs Jimmie Johnson now Norv Turner was an assistant coach here with the Dallas Cowboys bringing his team the Redskins in there he seems to have their number and I've always said that to have a rivalry game it has to be a division game late in the season in November with some playoff implications and that's exactly what we have here today when you look at these NFC East and these not that the winner of this game is going to be in the playoff but I think the winner of this game is going to put himself in position to really make a run at it the Giants have already won so they'll retain the leadership in the NFC East what about the Redskins what I have to do today well you know anytime you play the Redskins you know that you're gonna play a big offensive line and they're gonna run the ball I mean Terry Allen has to have a big day running that offensive line has to control the line of scrimmage now having said that and you know Norv Turner is not the type a coach that is just gonna run every down that they're also gonna take some shots they're gonna throw deep and no one Norv Turner he has some plays that he is going to get some guys open when they go deep but the key I think is gonna be Gus fought when the guy does get open Gus fought hitting them that's a big key just for rot lately now what about the Cowboys their chances they're five and five they're not out of it yet well no they're they're not but they're gonna they're gonna need a win here today and I think I think they're gonna have a makeshift offensive line I also have to be able to run the ball they're gonna use a lot of two tight ends today as we're talking to Troy Aikman yesterday you know you have Chris Dishman over there on one side you have Daryl green on the other side of corners it's going to be hard to throw to the outside receivers the Cowboys are going to use two tight ends and he says the key to the passing game is going to be his hitting the underneath guys alright coming up it's the Washington Redskins in Dallas Cowboys from Texas Stadium and John and I'll be back for the opening kickoff when Fox NFL Sunday continues time for the Erickson come down Texas Stadium packed as you would expect for this match between the Cowboys and the Redskins the Redskins have won the toss will receive and the Cowboys and the Redskins have two of the best sets of special teams in the NFL you know it's something you always talk about the offense and what the offense has to do and what the defense has to do and there's so many of these games and special teams win or lose or play a very important part of winning or losing I think this could be one of those games and you think special teams you think of number 40 on the cowboy Cobra team that's bill Bates back deep tobe gone picks off back deep it'd be Brian Mitchell the best we'll get a chance to show it this time as they excel Billy Davis down a make the stop welcome those of you you missed the opening kickoff that's all those of you watching Detroit boy and defeat Kidd Minnesota Gus Farhat opens at quarterback for Washington four-year veteran in front of him a huge offensive line choke patent Ray Johnson yet Beulah naked center doll and poor Dinesh for Danish [Applause] Jamie Ashur not backwards hit by Randall got free who's really been playing well lately let's look at that Dallas defense the front for Carver Hemmings back Tony Casillas and Tony Tolbert the three linebackers very quick on the outside Godfrey and Cokely bridge Strickland in the middle and they're secondary those two great corners Deion Sanders and Kevin Smith and Woodson and Mary and Dee Deion Sanders out there now on Westbrook Michael Westen wrestled to the ground by dexstar Coakley as he tried to cut it back it will be third down for the is about seven these cowboy linebackers have Carrie Allen has zeroed in on in the on the first play randall godfrey really hit him and misdirected him a redirect at him then the second play that guy right there Dexter Coakley was all over him as he got to the line of scrimmage Chad Hennings after missing five weeks [Applause] solidifies the middle of the Dallas defense here is desperate that's almost intercepted by Charlie Williams and he had nothing but touchdown in his mind if the Cowboys are in there nickel defense and that's why number 42 Charlie Williams is here and you can see that he's the free guy he was playing the inside out just sitting there reading Gus Farhat he got a jump on it and almost took that thing in Indiana I don't know if he's exciting himself the crowd his teammates or whatever themselves he's perfect carry about before it even gets a block Matt searched the punt bounces and Sanders feels it in steps out of bounds and the Cowboys will take over at the 38 yard line their own 38 just a little friendly conversation now that's what you get in a division rivalry a division rival you know we were just talking about that they play each other twice a year and they know each other better than they know other teams Troy Aikman nine-year veteran and in front of him a makeshift offensive line Hegeman and Tony Hudson starting his first time ever Allen Newton and clay Chivers Center Emmitt Smith and Herschel Walker in the backfield with Anthony Miller and Michael Irvin why bjornsen the tiny are they open with two hands Smith hammers straight ahead a big hole right up the middle the red skin defense horns boot a keel and the canard Lange Derek Smeath Marcus Patton and Greg Jones the linebackers Marcus pronounced Marcus Darryl Greene and Chris Dishman the corners Richard and Campbell the two safeties second and three Emmitt Smith get seven on his first carry and we'll get his second try he [Music] did well again to the line of scrimmage bounds by Jesse Campbell who went over the top of the bench yeah that's what this defense does well I mean date they're going to give you a little their 29th against the run but you don't score a lot against him and there's Mike Nolan he's a he's a defensive coordinator and and they play a gap defense and on that play they're in that defensive play there everyone had their gap and there was no place for Emmitt Smith to run to the outside that gap was taken and all the inside gaps were taken for cut backs third and three two tight end set up again this is Anthony Miller in motion whistles blow on the play it's interesting Pat I was just watching down here Chris Dishman is man demand on Michael Irvin with no help whatsoever [Applause] number 66 of course is Tony Hudson who you were just saying that is starting his first game ever but watched out here here's Michael Irvin here's Chris Dishman right here this is going to be a matchup to watch all day and you can see that he's not only on a man-to-man but he had no help whatsoever third a name three wide receivers set up Ben retreats [Applause] and the Cowboys again can't get much going the first time they have the ball they'll have to punt you know it was interesting before the penalty the Washington Redskins were in man-to-man coverage so they did have man-to-man then they got the five-yard penalty then the went into his own defense I think Troy Aikman was expecting a man-to-man coverage good kick by going Ryan Mitchell fair catch at the 16 that's where the Redskins will start their second possession the either club's offensive unit able to manufacture much in their first possession I don't think either one of these teams have been very good this year on their first possession I think they're you know teams that want to establish a running game and they know and they have from if you stop that run and usually do stop the run early I mean in any game it is more difficult to run the football early it is later in the game so if you're going to establish that a lot of time to run they just ran into a wall what the hex is all about this is a wave I haven't seen a wave in a long time LarryBoy to the 25 north Turner was telling us that Larry Bowie is really making a difference in this office it's not only a blocker but he's also now becoming a runner you know instead of giving it every time to Terry Allen once in a while you pop it to Larry Bowie but he's also becoming a pass receiver it was a lot like he had when he was here with the Cowboys a lot like the way he used mousse Johnston those are big shoes to be compared with talking about in the past again there's no [Applause] boy that set up for a first down for the Redskins the North Turner calls his own place what he's trying to do now by running Bowie is taking that key off of Terry Allen because the first time the Redskins had the ball you could see that they were just key in Ontario Allen now watch if you watch Terry Allen here and key on him here's where the ball is going to go so he'll go one way and then Bowie comes back the other way see Terry Allen go to the right and then Bowie run really a counter back to the left so if you're reading or keying Allen you're going to go away from Bowie it's a first down Viraj swings it out to Terry Allen I was talking to let's look at the Ranger his first key injuries for the cowboy mark to name Eric Williams out this week with a bad ankle Darrell Johnson he had neck surgery still wearing that brace will wear it for about six weeks it's been about a week now and he was such a special part of this Dallas Cowboy offense I think all the time I've been I've been watching football that Daryl Johnston consistently was the best blocking fullback I'd ever seen and I'm not surprised he has a bad name Terry Allen and he is knocked backwards and right now for McDonald's game break let's return you to James Brown of the Fox television Center at Hollywood and John all the time between foot off in Baltimore that you are going for the win 52 yard field goal by Matt Stover no good still tied till he has the ball as you all know the only time over my 1989 Cleveland in Kansas City let's take it back to Dallas Pat and John that some are all John Madden Madden back in Texas Stadium three wide receivers is it Brian Mitchell the middle close the main meal is Mitchell okay ignore Turner's : excellent series here fat because he started by mixing them up with Bowie and then he gets him here you see and he gets the defense here in the nickel defense the nickel defense is just to pass he gets it a passing formation he gets the the three wide receivers are one tight end and then boom he just pops a trap up the middle you get that middle linebacker there's no one there until you get to the safety first and ten at the 48 [Applause] spory again crosses midfield I started to say a minute ago I was talking to Sonny Jurgensen before the game and he said the one thing the Redskins have is the best play caller in the NFL that of course is the man you just mentioned Noah Turner yeah and he's one of there's about four or five head coaches that call their own plays most of them are called by offensive coordinator but North Turner is the head coach and he's also the offensive coordinator and I agree with Sonny Jurgensen - tight end set up here comes up yet spot just got rid of it [Applause] we talked about things you have to do and you could see that they were getting the tempo now what they're gonna do is Brock Marion his back here he starts like he's going to cover and then he just times that link perfectly he started out he was 12 yards deep he worked up to about 8 then he looked like he was going with the motion man and when the ball was snapped he was right at the lines per image unaccounted for that's one way to throw north turn around the rhythm because native Turner was getting into a very good rhythm of play calling three wide receivers third down about intended for Albin Harvard which is still a big name in these parts yeah they're gonna go at Deion Sanders here's Deion Sanders here with Alvin pardon for his old teammate but he's not going to get anything I mean he he still had it at fried just threw it right through Alvin Harper's hands Alvin Harper let it go right through his hands or key or whatever those of you who watched Atlanta defeat Saint Louis 2721 welcome to Texas Stadium we have no store here as the Redskins Matt Turkey as only he can the ball bouncing inside the five and is going to be down didn't apparently get into the end zone and so that's where the Cowboys will start from the five their own five Matt Kirk is a heck of a planet I mean he dropped this ball right about the one-yard line look at it it hits there it doesn't look like it touches the goal line it's tapped again before it crosses the goal line and then comes out to about the four yard line that was a heck of a one it looked like it hit the goal line this thing is you have to get that wall and get it off and you can't you can't look up under can't look at someone coming that's about as close to a block as you can get without having the ball block as Kirby commitment number 97 first and ten at their own five Dallas like it landed on a gold one just over the outstretched fingertips of michael irvin i think they figured out the Cowboys did that on first down they're going to get man coverage they're not going to get it on third down there's Chris Dishman he's going man for man with Michael Irvin he's right there with him troy aikman makes a perfect battle boy I mean he's through that where Michael Irvin was either going to catch it or it was going to be incomplete but there was no way Cris Dishman was going to get his hands on so it's second and ten from the five that was a pretty aggressive shot there but that's the time to take an aggressive shot when you're backed up on first down Leflore is the mana [Applause] breaks loose gets to about the ten across the 10 to the 12 stop by Marcus big Eric Williams who usually plays that right tack was not only not starting today he's not even dressed he's inactive and they ran that one in there behind Tony Hudson they did a pretty good job of blocking over there on that right side of course Tony Hudson is helped by having Larry Allen right next to him Marion Hudson's over 300 himself and very athletic well he was it was a defensive lineman when he first came to the Cowboys two tight ends again LeFleur on the move the bjornsen don't know if he got the birds don't think so the cowboy seemed to leave more of these things short I mean it only had three third down and about three yards to go and they throw a two and a half yard pass and they seem to do that more and more this year I mean I don't think I don't think that's any coach's fault or a bad call or I think that's between the quarterback and receiver this has to get beyond the first down marker it just doesn't make sense Wow I mean I mean the tight end has to validate you need three and a half yards not three Oh signals fair catch warm welcome to the blockbuster blimp in its crew to today's event piloting that blockbuster blimp is captain Paul Adams and what AB you he's got on the sparkling day you can see the shadow down at the bottom right here is you have to shadow that's the shadow you just drew a blimp just drew a blimp around the blimp who would have thought your talents continue to advance and amaze me first and 10 Washington for Nino school four yards perhaps rarely does he get knocked backwards you know he ran right in there behind Jeff you will make the seven-year veteran center no they got him from the Miami Dolphins and and they didn't think he was going to be able to play this week he'd be hurt his left knee and he had a major surgery on that in fact he he had that grafted any and he tore a graph in his name or stretch the graft in his name so he had to bring a brace back he had his mother send seven braces from his house [Applause] pounds it up to about the 48 it'll bring up third and about four yeah he got that that knee stretched again he had worn a brace and since he's been with Miami so he called his mother in Ohio and he said look at my closet and there's the sack of braces so his mother sent a sack of braces seven braces you like to have that up in your attic old sack of braces socks and bracelets and his mother sent the whole big little sack for braces he picked that of race and he's playing against many more Leslie Shepard was the target and that was a good throw by Gus Parata I mean he had me at Leslie Shepard right between the eight and a six he just he's just gonna run up here and he's gonna run a hook you see he just finds a hole right there comes under control and the ball hit him perfectly and he started I think he had it in the stomach and he started to bring his head up when he dropped that one here's matt turk last time in the Cowboys down at their own five the defense is better this one is a rocket zone analogy Tuesday on Fox 2 legendary captain tuna in the greatest battle of all don't miss an expert premiere of Star Trek generation Tuesday at 8/7 central right here on Fox [Music] that looks like something out of Star Trek doesn't it it looks like an erector set yeah this whole thing to remember when you when you had an arrest out as a kid the only way you can see the erector set here is from the blimp see the blimp goes over and then shows you the top of the erector set well if they still have a rector sat out no I don't think so I think they're into video games and stuff not so I know they are [Applause] we got 10 yards after he was here that's the old Emmitt Smith cowboy and again if you're going to go come right in here behind Larry Allen and watch what Larry Allen does because that's going to be your key block to see he starts he gets a couple he goes out that way and then just a little crease in there for Emmitt Smith and flap he hits that thing in there this is a lose different cowboy running game and they don't have moose Johnston they don't have another back in the backfield with him they're playing with two tight ends so Emmitt Smith is hitting the holes quicker now they do have another back [Applause] right now let's again return you to James Brown at the Fox television Center in Hollywood Patti Jean a tale of two kickers Chris Bosio free agent sign here of course where the Eagles misses a 40-yard field goal in overtime it ends in a tie first time since 89 that's happened Pete story on events he's good from as Kansas City up into Denver by two back to Pat and john-boy hates him I would hate to make a living picking games what JP say hit a with as Emmitt Smith right side [Applause] we're talking to Troy Aikman yesterday these were the things that he said that you know he felt they had to be able to do they had to be able to run the ball and then it worked the underneath stuff he said because it's going to be tough with the outside receivers because it Darryl Greene on one side Cris Dishman on the other side the two Washington corners are such good players that he's going to have to work as tight in work as running back and work the running game and then if you can get that defense to tighten up then you can take some shot first down as Emmitt Smith running like we haven't seen him in a long time six carries 41 yards in a couple of sweeps which has not ever been the Cowboys well well long suit one thing they wanted they felt that they were just running inside just running behind the guards too much and they they felt that that'd do some more sweeping and just you know stretch the defense a little first and tenant's Miller on the move again played intended Leflore no score here at Texas Stadium and welcome those of you who watched Baltimore and Philadelphia plate to attend anti Barry Switzer the league heard of late criticized of late still the head coach of the Cowboys though north turner on a roll a lot of people would think that they would like to see Norv Turner come back here as a head coach to the Dallas Cowboys but in my mind there's no way that's gonna help don't like sit where he it's good it was sitting out in the bus today and Nate Newton came by and says that you know before the game and had his son Trey with him and say how you doing Nate good good and he said that he's really looking for just to going out and having fun today that he yeah he said son I've been talking the labor movement for so many years y'all haven't I've never heard of ever say that before you know it right yeah we're gonna go keep it here we're gonna do this we're gonna do that but they have said we're gonna go out have fun today three wide receivers third down nine is caught by step with Williams and here's a guy who's really come on in the clutch especially third down it seems like every third down the guy the Troy Aikman is looking for now and it gets third and seven Raiders his step for Williams it's a great throw here he is out here see now here he is and here's Darryl Greene now let's watch it on the replay when we isolate it you see this is what its gonna look like here that he's now he knows where that first down is here's the first down marker he's goes be out works back but doesn't get back beyond the first down marker and like I said he's working against a great one and Darryl Greene and Aikman had the ball right on the money nothing there that's the old double move thing be you're not gonna get a lot of things on Darryl Greene I mean I got the third down pass on him and then to think that they're gonna come back and get a double move and a pump and a post on Darryl Greene you're not gonna make a little doing that if you could Darryl Greene wouldn't have been in this league for 15 years looks like in fact he was saying on the airplane when the Redskins were coming down here that the flight attendants thought he was the rookie on the team because everybody came by hit he looks like he's about 23 years old he was so proud that the flight attendant said that she thought he was 25 years old that he's 37 bjornsen the apron has frogs in perfect pass now you're talking about the third down to step for Williams as being a perfect pass that passed there to Bjork's and was a perfect pass and these are the types of things that have been killing the Cowboys all year twenty eight yards the catch by bjornsen is wiped out illegal formation [Applause] Coleman what that means that there's no end on the line of scrimmage here seed that has nothing to do with Hegeman that's just the way they call the thing let's see he there's no one out here so he becomes the end man then that that's not his fault he had to be on the line of scrimmage to make that illegal formation do it after because there's no receiver outside of George Hegeman he was the end man on the line of scrimmage what makes him eligible and he's an ineligible number and ineligible for 69 [Applause] [Music] one shakes another one down inside the 42 the 37 motorist Dishman knocked Emmitt Smith out of an entire Kent Harvey was out there and Kent Harvey for years has been a good football player yeah he has a bad shoulder now but he had Emmitt Smith zeroed in and Emmitt Smith made one of those Barry Sanders caps of moves on him watch him when he gets the ball out here and watch number 57 Kent Harvey right there he doesn't even touch Emma Smith and he threw a bagel on he just whipped he kept him it's win-win right by oh he might have scraped his jersey but that's all that's still a Barry Sanders move that's the underneath stuff Detroit that was talking about and that time Eric bjornsen got that I mean they were third down they needed the first down and now you watch it right here is going to get beyond the first down mark you see last time he caught one he was short and they had a punt this time he got beyond the marker for Aikman hits him then when he hits him you get a first down I think maybe somebody spoke Derek Bronson about his choice of yard markers yeah well that one was smart the other one was dumb that's probably what they said he used to be dumb now you're smart whistles so that's the end of the first quarter no score at Texas Stadium neither team until this drive by Dallas able to move batteries keep going going the tenth play of this Drive upcoming Pat Summerall the John Madden it takes a stadium there the 27 first and 10 there's Michael Irvin he goes out here here's Chris Dishman he goes out with him one of the great matchups not a bad shot to take right here on first down and it's man that's not a bad shot either just run dammit Smith right up behind mate Newton just watch him here he's going to get here's Nate Newton here gentleman here play shy over here they're just firing out and Emmas just going to get right in there do they get a little motion going to that side get an extra tight end good good block by clay Scheiber and a good block by Nate Newton which I ever got his guy going to that side and Emmitt Smith just broke right off his centers block first in ten [Applause] Dallas over the course of the year and you can see down at the bottom their percentage this year 34% of the time they scored touchdowns and what they did in the great years Emmitt Smith has a bad hand and you can see that fat I think he just heard it on that play again either his hand or his arm or his shoulder he had a broken thumb on his right hand on his right hand and that looks like the area that pointing to right now so Sherman Williams [Applause] Marcus Patton made the stop that's your bootleg there you don't see the Cowboys use a lot of this where Nate Newton pulls out and leads with Troy Aikman you say here's here's Nate Newton leading that you know so he's a blocker on a bootleg a quarterback comes out and either has no protector and that's called a naked bootleg or it's just a regular bootleg where he does have a protector that time he had to make new bullying that was just a bootleg third and seven this time it's one setback that Sherman Williams they have three wide receivers the Dallas Cowboy woes continue down here this is going to be against them as well no that's part of their walls [Applause] this is where Larry Allen is moving to left act was normally the right guard but on third down around passing downs are moving him from right guard to left tackle he's going to go over there and he's blocking against Ken Harvey the best pass rusher of the Redskins so you get Barry Allen is moving from the right side to the left side and from guard to tackle and he jumped a little here he is right here now again John Flannery guard I think it did to betray Eggman hit him perfect well boy right there Stephon Williams drop that ball that was good protection that good protection on that one Eggman fun came back found Williams any and he just hits him with him whit Williams drops the ball watch his protection then he has good time he's looking all the way he throws the pass in there and it just goes right through step four Williams he bounced it I don't know that maybe Darryl green didn't have a little something to do with it but that looked like step four Williams should have had that one Richie Cunningham from 35 yards out he's made 27 field goals now 28 [Applause] that's two seasons normally three nothing Dallas over Washington we're back at Texas Stadium Dallas 3 the field goal is officially by Richie Cunningham 34 yards long Brian Mitchell one of the very best he's a quarterback in college working on Emmitt Smith over all sides of right elbow contusion as the word we get on the injury looked like it was one of those things where he hit the funny bone and all the feeling with debtless right the Cowboys do cover the kicks their special teams their coverage team have always been just outstanding bring nothing [Music] downtown Dallas we're in Irving which is as I said earlier located about halfway between Dallas and Fort Worth and Irving Cowboys three Redskins nothing 1211 left to play in the first half the Cowboys on that scoring drive they had the ball like seven and a half minutes so it's been a long time since his groups behalf there sit Terry Allen short gain right now for a McDonald's game break let's return to James Brown the Fox Television Centre in Hollywood Pat and John take a look at Steve Young captain his play play-action fake reverse hey take it in myself he with rushing touchdowns among quarterbacks San Francisco up ten nothing back to Pat John we saw Carolina and Denver last week at the end of last year when we saw Carolina they were a formidable looking Bunch what happened to then I don't know they don't look like they're half the team they were second and seven Bharat takes a timeout with 11:25 left to play in the first half three nothing Cowboys Lee here's a rookie tight end David Lafleur number 89 talking to Scott Galbreath about how they're holding her and Galbreath is telling him what to do about it when the only you just can't say well they're holding me it's okay okay now what are you gonna do when the guys hold you that's what Bob Bruce was telling Lafleur and he can tell him what to do you punch him in the stomach that'll get his hands off brought back to throw Pass complete to his tight end Jimmy Asher's short of the first down maybe two yards maybe a yard Gus frog has only completed three passes to two Terry Allen in that one there to Jamie a sure he hasn't completed a pass to a wide receiver yet so we know that they're going to have to open this thing up here pretty soon here's a new formation here it's its third one and they're bringing Eadie Simmons in at Simmons in their normal right tackle is coming in on his short yardage as a tight end right here on this side which means he can catch a pass [Applause] they got the first down or not LarryBoy that looks like he's short to me those two the Cowboys too because they're starting to send their punt return on the field Deion Sanders is going back to do a punt return position who's Dion he knows he took one peek at it ran back there walked back there this is gonna be close I think this is a real Roderick Thomas hit so hard in there short yardage you knocked a sock off you think this is a decision for North no no there's no decision you have to I think yoke with a score 0-0 [Music] with ten minutes to go there's no way that he would go for it you know Tara the Islanders motioning with a crowd [Applause] now looking to the heavens for a blessing luckily there's a hole in the roof [Applause] took a long time your punter will normally do that last part that punt it Turk just yet almost went as high as the hole in the roof here I know but you know a punter will usually do that he knows that that it's an illegal formation but he wants to get a practice shot in and that's like being able to you know they get up on a tee and hit back the shot on the tee that was a free one from mentor and he just took it bless the practice shot is always one that makes everybody go I know because he's so relaxed he just goes ahead and said I don't care and hits it we you know usually after a good practice shot comes a good shot this one's a good one cats when the coverage team was right on top of it good putt hang time I don't know about but it had to be long [Music] a Matt Smith still resting 9 carries 54 yards for Emmet Sherman Williams remember he had a right elbow contusion like he hit his funny bone I thought it was one of those things that they would just shake out over there for a while and he would be back in but maybe the contusion is a little longer lasting than just shaking it out they say he's that a pretty good spot yeah 54 yards and they give me back still have over 9 minutes in the first half the floor goes in most of all Eggman goes back to throw down he goes [Applause] as John Madden said was running well another thing he's doing in this game pad is not only on the runs but on the past thing he's keeping his feet moving remember a couple weeks every time he'd get into his fantasy today in this first half as he as he get in on run and passes he's been keeping those feet moving all the time like the old Emmitt Smith Miller goes in motion the second at nine is his sherman with him get back to the last the bottom old gold tawny huts at his right tackle got stopped and that will happen you're gonna run some behind some guy in the guy that you're trying to run behind is in the hole that's gonna be a problem for you Tony Hudson again we said starting his first game ever at a National Football League replacing Eric Williams a big old tackle who's one of the best only Hudson didn't do much on that play third and nine Larry Allen now moves out to left tackle on this third down [Applause] [Music] [Applause] egman took a pretty good hit and michael irvin was fighting for that first down and you say he's not going to get it watch this in the clicker here you'll see here's Michael Irvin down here in the bottom and up on top you're gonna see Troy Aikman is there he's going to do he's going to leave the seat see the ball leaves his hands right now Aikman hasn't even ready to turn but again take when needed about two more steps on that Brian Mitchell back deep for the Redskins another good punt [Music] Mitchell no Bates down to make the stop and the Cowboys continue the lead three nothing was 751 left in the first half [Music] drive for Dallas out of which they got three [Applause] [Music] have a look at the Aflac trivia question which Washington head coaches have a winning record against the Dallas Cowboys well Tom Landry was here all those years from the beginning to until Jimmie Johnson took over and I know the Redskins didn't have too much success against Tom Landry second and ten [Applause] lined up on the wrong side now he finally got over here that's complete the boy and his hit immediately and knock-back there's a guy who's really been coming along his cowboy on this defense I think of the of the front seven over the period of the last month he's been the most impressive player you know he was sort of sleeper in the draft this is his second year because he was hurt almost his entire senior year in Georgia that's boy down now that was Michael Westbrook fault there he didn't get you see what happens is is they line up here and then they finally get you see the switch here and by the time they get over here you see Westbrook is coming down he's telling get over and get over and get over now once you get over there you have to be set for a second before the ball snap you see and they still have movement there now that's ok there because that's motion I don't think there's anything wrong with that if we get a chance I like to go back and look at that again and see what it does all that movement to the Dallas defense how many people that makes the move third long for Washington about 12 7:05 left in the second quarter three wide receivers arrive back to throw four-man rush by Dallas [Applause] gets it out to Westbrook and a flag on the play Westbrook got enough for the first down but a penalty marker down and that would be Michael what Westbrook first catch of the day and that would be the longest completion by either team over 10 yards but it's not going to be because when Farhat was scrambling and that will happen a lot of time a lineman will get downfield because he's not looking back he's looking for it and he expects that something is happening so he goes downfield and that's probably what it was whatever he thinks might have happened should have already happened he had so much time 68 is Joe Patton and that's exactly what it was while all that scrambling was going on we see Alvin Harper was hurt on the play Michael Westbrook caught a pass for the first down but Joe Patton went downfield and that'll happen to you again it's the same thing on a punt you know if a punter drops the ball you usually have an illegal man downfield when a quarterback scrambles that long a lot of times you will have an ineligible man downfield near your offensive line they work push your offensive lineman they're back to everything and the Redskins just had 17 yards of completion right now [Applause] [Music] and to get the Westbrook again unsuccessfully this time the Aflac trivia question which Washington head coaches have a winning record against the Dallas Cowboys I know it's not many mike Nixon and north turner Mike Nixon one and O that year the first year the Cowboys they played every team once nobody twice against the one and over [Applause] jumps out of bounds just and the 31 yard line where Dallas will take over with 609 left to play in the first half [Music] Fox NFL Sunday is brought to you by Pizza Hut enjoy today's game with the edge Pizza new from Pizza Hut 16 pieces of pure toppings have you been to the edge Dallas 3 Washington nothing Charles Haley well Haley one of the all-time great pass rushers and he's working as a a consultant with the Cowboys and working with the defensive linemen basically on pass rush because he was one of the all-time great national pass rusher [Applause] by Stanley Richard Charles Haley I can see him being a coach I could see the beauty consultant that somehow that doesn't fit you ought to be a coach because I could see him I could see him being a coach in this league I think he'd be an outstanding coach we got you know the guy knows football he was a great player and he's a very very very bright guy in fact I could see him being the head coaches I know sometimes Rosella that's far-fetched Charles Haley being a head coach in this league I could see it and it Smith second and four make it third and four after they Empire he's not having that but that offensive line isn't what it used to be time you have to say it I mean mark to an a was there yo when he was younger and plains a strong left tackle of Nate Newton and you had no great Donald Center stepmouse get senator Larry Allen Eric Williams now you're there with George Hegeman at left tackle Nate Newton play Scheider Larry Allen still there and Tony Hudson at right tackle that is not a great offensive line I have the ring to it does it pass complete to Michael Irvin that's enough for a first [Applause] the first thing that you have to have is the issue you can talk about michael irvin you can talk about traitement you have to have past protection here they give him a blitz they pick it up and he has time to step to step up there and throw the ball out there now fight Michael Irvin is gonna work on Chris Dishman here and it's gonna be a physical match he has to get him up the field sell him that he's going deep and then come back on the hour what she did first and Jan Egeland drops to throw again drops it out to Emmitt Smith than dammit of the people bounced off of him Emmitt Smith is a lot different now he's back there with no contusion you're going out of there but the big thing is it that he is running down his keeping his feet going he's not stopping his feet and and you know you find if you keep moving if you keep going forward you're going to find some good things on the other end of that is it okay for me to say congratulations to our director sandy Grossman what does he do just became a grandfather congratulations a grandpa that's not okay said it anyway Eggman back Emmitt Smith shakes one top gets to the 35 keep those feet moving you said it earlier and that's a difference in Emmitt Smith he's doing it again now you know sometimes you can play football for a number of years and you just get in a rut and you forget something and then and then you remember oh yeah geez I have to keep my feet going all the time and you go back and you do it and then things like this happen because when you keep your feet going you're going to get into things like you saw Emmitt Smith on that spin move there when you miss as much time as he did and don't go through a training getting hit [Applause] that first down marker in sight I don't know if we got it or not but he sure had his eyes on it the Cowboys this year and that's part of their their problem in that red zone to is is they've left a lot of third and one and third and 1/2 yards out there by just coming up short of a first down [Music] hill and a lot of it is like that running out of bounds just before the marker their tight end Erik bjornsen you know not going a yard deeper on the pass better Michael Irvin not going to yard deep run his pass pattern and they come up with that short yardage an awful lot he missed it about 6 inches yeah but that one's not as bad because that was second down the bad ones are when it's third down then you have the decision on 4th do you they'll kick the ball or go for it on for those are tough decisions well you know people are always asking why did he do this and why did he do that I think the one thing we miss and television misses is the speed of how fast things are happening down a I mean it's happening so quickly that you can't react it has to be done almost by interstate yeah you just and you just have to know I mean a player though has to be aware of where the first down markers are at all time he has to know exact what he's finding because in his mind that has to be his goal is to get beyond that point [Applause] Sherman now that is the good surge that's a quarterback safe that more than a snake that's that's what used to call a wedge but when you have big old late nude 61 getting up there Larry al you can do that you just come right in here and that's that's a surge that's that's a quarterback wedge look everyone just wedges in there together and just gets those jerseys going backwards we can get it from the other side we can see it here you see now watch what it does to the middle here you see those jerseys they just get them and they just ride them right back Larry Allen gets up in some big plays Emmitt Smith picks up about a but a marker down I haven't seen a quarterback sneak like that in a long time not surge now lately they've been just hitting a gap that time that was the old we used to call years ago the quarterback wedge joel wedge play before it was a wedge play it was the flying wedge play Everett they outlawed that yeah yeah they all fly at a moving wedge and then it just became a wedge anything right up the middle and then it became a sneak sneak down but that was more like a wedge than a snip fashion Lange the offside still first down two minutes to go at Texas Stadium where the Cowboys lead three to nothing you're on Fox [Applause] this the Cowboys have had the ball for almost 17 minutes the Redskins just a little over 11 minutes first and five and it's Smith and Herschel Walker hurt you get his arms up that was the same pattern that they made a touchdown on last week was a they they get Herschel Walker right here and he's gonna run a swing she runs like a flat like out to the sideline then he's gonna run up and you expect to get him on a linebacker he had him on the linebacker but then the safety Jessi Campbell came over there first then the ball was just thrown on one shoulder was on his outside shoulder where I think quake was supposed to throw I think so second and five Smith Dean [Applause] knock backwards after maybe a yard by Chris Soros he ran into a load in there and that load was Chris or H wasn't it Chris storage remember him for years with the Chicago Bears the Redskins just picked him up a couple weeks ago as a free agent what a nice guy great guy is here in the left handed stance you see he uses his quickness and he comes out of a spin see what he did how about that he was hit and then he spun and he spun right into the hole that Emmitt Smith was running in and I've seen that spinner move used a lot of times and not often is it successful but it was in [Applause] step with William won't get it in there in field goal range it's not the red zone or as Barry Switzer calls at the green zone but it's awfully close to it successful the no zone and you know it usually happens when they don't have success on run like Chris Zorich stops or run when they get a longer yardage situation Michael Irvin talking to the officials there probably that Chris Dishman holding a result how sure some campaign which they probably both do to each other the whole game 41 yards out for Cunningham [Applause] good again six to nothing Dallas leads Washington Fox NFL Sunday is brought to you by the coaches of Nike play core by the new Dodge it's about change by Campbell's Chunky soup that eats like a meal and by a plaque insuring over forty million people worldwide [Music] that is 13 consecutive field goals for Richie Cunningham he has a missed since October the fifth already [Applause] and the coverage is excellent cowboy just saying we got it but the official say it was down Emmitt Smith that layer series became the 11th player in NFL history to rush for over 11,000 yards when Emmitt Smith is is one of the all-time greats I mean he's a guy that you know is kind of struggling this year but even when he's struggling he's better than 98 yes under the the players in this league and now say he's a real warrior I mean over the years we've watched him at Smith and he's done some of the toughest things I've ever seen a running back - Brian Mitchell shot has a first down by about a yard bill Bates made the stop you know you look at those now everybody say they have em it's not what it used to be and all that sort of stuff but you look at the figures over the year he's won seventh or eighth is still pretty good [Applause] incomplete about Brian Mitchell of course is in there because you know he's the he's the pass receiving back and with this two-minute offense the Redskins are in now they have all their their past receiving people in don't forget coming up the Dockers khakis halftime JB and Terry with scores and highlights and some surprising highlights today to go over some good scores and some good highlights yeah you wonder if some of those things happen who would have third one Michels the date back [Applause] more than 1/2 the 35 that'll move the sticks he's been a good player for this team over the years Brian Mitchell not only is a third down pass receiver and runner but as a kick returner I can't remember when he wasn't playing [Music] we're back at Texas Stadium Michael Irvin watching the Dallas defensive unit trying to control Washington Redskins haven't completed a pass to a wide receiver yeah they had somebody open that time it's uh Henry Ellen and Leslie Shepard who were down I think Leslie Shepard was the guy that was running wide open ed - you guys are bad two guys running that a side line here's Leslie Shepard he's the wide open guy because there's really no one covering him the closest guy was Kevin Smith and he was on the outside receiver if Gus Pollock would he hit that I think he just broke his arm but Leslie Shepard was wide open on that yes he was Washington this is their last time out watch this play from the beginning here's Leslie Shepard we get a blitz here and no one covers them the closest guy is right there's bill Bates he comes out and lets him go he runs right through the zone he's coming there if Gus farhat passed they're a perfect passer any kind of pass that's a touchdown if he just leads him to the inside a little bit more you know that's that's the thing that we were talking about we were saying that Norv Turner is going to have some plays in this game and he is going to break someone open and to play that it was it was Leslie Shepherd it was Leslie Shepherd right there and but now can Gus Farhat get it to him the answer on that play was no Leslie Shepard is still down there bringing the the card out there for him you can watch Lesley Shepherd when he hits the ground here you can see his left elbow as his hand as his hand hit the ground who's already grabbing his weight all his weight went on that left arm and didn't take him long to grab but was hurt I guess it never will but you wonder what would have happened if Gus Farhat would have made the pass and that was the thing I think that Norv Turner was worried about last night or talked about it you know we can get something open I'm not sure that Gus will always get him when we get him and that was not hitting him when they did get him and Leslie Shepard came down on that left arm it would have been Washington 7 Dallas 6 that pass had been thrown a little bit closer to the inside and not quite so far and you can just see you see he gets hit here by Kevin Smith and as he goes his hand woo he goes to do to brace himself with his left hand and the arm collapses fact he was looking up there at the at the picture of it that's another one of the things that when I was talking to sunny before the game Sonny Jurgensen he said he had been trying to get Gus Farhat when somebody breaks open like that put some air under it give them a chance yeah and they didn't on that one you can there's there's Sonny Jurgensen right there they and we're talking about nobody can throw it like he could X from any angle right we could throw it underhand side arm behind his back Sonny Sonny Jurgensen was a great athlete great basketball player the other thing on that play with Wesley Shepherd Dante and the Cowboys have to be worried about he ran right through a prevent zone deep Spunkmeyer I guess with with time again and again he's got a man it's incomplete and there is no flag it was Alvin Harvard who was shaken up earlier it might be shaken up again one thing here we talk about play callers and and head coaches at call plays and and head coaches that are aggressive call a place north Turner's that guy Norv Turner isn't going for first downs down North Turner's going for touchdowns well why not take some shots yep remember Alvin Harper he was always so good at those balls where you would just throw him up there in the air and he'd go up and get him on a jump ball he didn't have a chance on that one for a jump ball because it was a little thrown behind him and he kind of had a reach back for I sure was what Gus Farhat wants me hit him the player Gus Farhat was saying that he couldn't hear and he wanted the official to to give him some time and one of those things they do have that rule of deep if the crowd makes so much noise that the quarterback can't hear he can't ask the referee for help but it didn't seem like there was that loud did it no it didn't and they penalized him but [Applause] the Brian Mitchell of those and that should run out the first half that is the end of the first half with the score Dallas six Washington nothing the Fox NFL Sunday will continue with the doctor's khakis halftime report after these messages that are words from your local Fox station sing for Washington and then if you look at Washington do they've only had three first downs at any time you only have three first down you're not going to have the ball a long time so you're not going to be able to do a lot of different things and you're not going to score many points and those wide receivers have had a tough time today with the corner backs well you look here the the Redskins their wide receivers haven't caught a pass the Cowboys wide receivers have only caught the free passes and we talked about that earlier in the game when you get great corners like this Gerald Green they've thrown at him three times they've completed one they've thrown a Chris Dishman three times they've completed two so when you get those kinds of corners then you're not going to have a lot of success look at the Dallas County yeah quarterbacks Deion Sanders they threw at him two times and they have no completions they threw at Kevin Smith three times with no completion that doesn't put you in the end zone look at Deon here's how he does it okay I mean I mean he is so fast I mean Deon does it a little with his hands with ocean with his feet he just puts his hands there to feel you and and he's frustration Michael what Westbrook whispered really is is becoming frustrated and not continuing to run patterns and that's what Deion Sanders will do to you I mean he is he is so good and he's such a great athlete with so much speed and so much confidence he'll get right up on you he's been here forever [Music] they gotta pick up some new lines it's a more line that I ran out of words in the air in pictures and cameras [Music] that's brought Barry to return to kickoff breaks out of the pack at the floor in Washington territory we talked about special teams we talked about returners but who would have thought that a wouldn't read Brock Marion you got Herschel Walker back there you got Bryan Mitchell and Brock Marion yep Deion Sanders and here it is the starting free safety Brock Marion who makes a great run support TAC one starts up in the middle it was a middle return nothing here bounced it to the outside and then up the sideline a 46-yard returned by Brock Berrien he's had an outstanding year and he's had two because Darren Woodson the other safety there's visco lot this year that's man [Applause] I brought him down lost the yard perhaps you know we talked about this this defense here here pad of the of the Redskins and the thing that they do well is you can't score against it I mean they're like twenty ninth against the rush and they have some bad statistical numbers but the one statistic for the Redskins which to me has to be the goal of any defender diet as you don't score against me well that's the most impressive one [Applause] in fact these two moon two teams rolls dead even in points against here comes a blitz just it get rid of it intended for Anthony Miller Eggman just got rid of it yeah this is one of the things we've seen a lot of cowboy games and Troy Aikman has really taken way too many hits this year I mean Yoli they started with the the Eagles doing it and every team when they play the Cowboys their goal on passing downs is to blitz and to knock Troy Aikman down but the Redskins didn't do much but Singh in the first half that hasn't been a big part of the defensive plan three wide receivers for Dallas hey here comes another place up on top incomplete Anthony Miller again every week they keep saying it's time for Anthony Miller to step up and they keep saying that he has great speed I don't know he looked like he stopped on that one or they just weren't in sync because Troy Aikman was leading him to one area and Anthony Miller wasn't going to that area Anthony Miller's right there and I'm not sure if he just stopped or maybe he stopped because Darryl Greene plugged Adam so the kickoff return by brock marian getz very little except fetal position they'll be going into the enzone they'll bring it back to the 2013 47 left in the third and Dallas continues to lead Washington six to nothing Fox NFL Sunday is brought to you by Cadillac DeVille for the time of your life by Dockers khakis big nice by the US Army be a part of the toughest smartest army in the world be all you can be and buy enterprise rent-a-car pick Enterprise will pick you up ball up to 20 we got all kind of changes in the offensive line of Mark Logan's a pullback and edy Simmons is the tight end ed simmons is right here number 76 of course he's the normal tackle been the starting tackle and this year but they will bring him in as a short yardage tied in there on first down as a kite Hammerson ten directional Terry and Terry Allen knocked out of bounds after a pickup before we have learned that Leslie Shepard dislocated his left elbow never that play that was just before the half you see him get hit there by Omar stockmeyer as he goes down he goes down right on his left hand and the brunt of it has to go someplace and went right to his left elbow and dislocated it you knew something had to be dislocated or something broken we just see it here's Guster [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and could be first down looks like it is Alan Harper adjustment notified has a sprained ankle his return is doubtful when you get a little running going or they have to honor the run that then you can go to play fake and you fake the run in there hold that defense that really helps your pass protection I could did on that [Applause] Terry Allen pass the 35 Randall Godfrey the stop the Redskins fullback LarryBoy has a sprained ankle they thought he'd be back but he hasn't so far mark Logan is a fullback not normally a fullback a blocking fullback that's not bad rolling in there behind Bob doll and sharp for Daanish the right guard and the right tackle there there there too pretty powerful there's a right garden power to rescue the handoff Darrin what's enough to make the stop he plays the run well he displays about as well as anybody you know he was with when he was in college he was he was a linebacker and he was a linebacker that that ran a four-four so so what the Cowboys had in mind was you get a linebacker who runs a four-four and you play them at safety so then when you need a safety or a cover guy he's back there and when you need an extra run guy they have an extra line back from [Applause] Allen Terry Allen gets another it's good first down Terry Allen's not known is one of Faraci choice receivers but they usually bring in Brian Mitchell on that third down passing situation that time they left Terry Allen but you'd see how aware he was he was running right at those first down snakes we've been talking about that all day all you have to be aware where the first down marker isn't getting beyond it so on Terry Allen did it perfectly that time first down Redskins at their own 42 - sure again emotionally again back to throw [Applause] that's incomplete bounces out-of-bounds intended intended for Westbrook anytime you see two receivers in the same area like that you're gonna see the login of Westbrook end up just side by side right here one of the receivers is too deep and the other one is too short and you see right there well they were both reacting to the ball but Logan either should have been a little shorter to get a little more separation between he and Westbrook because you see what happens the ball brings a more defender and also another man brings more defender there's fraud it's complete that's the reality and they move it into Dallas territory Henry Ellard has been doing just that for as long as I can remember and isn't it kind of fitting that that's the first completion to a wide receiver in the Washington Redskins today and that's what they have to do because if you don't get a ball to the wide receiver and I know it's tough with a Kevin Smith there and a Deion Sanders and so on but if you don't you really shrink the field I mean you just bring everything in and you really tighten this area if you don't get to the outside this is Washington's deepest penetration of the day they're inside the Dallas 40 before this it was to the 49 you know one thing that Terry Allen was talking to us about last night he's always liked about Norv Turner is it is it unless they get way behind he'll stay with the run and a lot of these offensive coordinators they love to pass and once they pass it's very difficult for them to come back start called running play they all say we got to be patient and that's what being patient is all about yeah yeah and getting away from it and coming back to it complete intended for a shirt and he was open oh they had that one - that was a bootleg against a blintz where the backs go to the left just drops gonna come out to the right you see the bootlegs are gonna fake like here and then Gus peratt's gonna come out here with the tight end going out there and they had this thing wide open watch the fake to see everyone's going for Terry Allen hashes just wide open and I don't know Gus Brock may have thrown that ball ooh before I had to but that would that would have been a sure first down 37 and sure moves into the slot put the heat on this will take him out of field goal range and bring on the putter have we talked about Randall Godfrey and out how many big plays he's made this year and you're going to see he's one of the guy you see all four of the guys here comes Randall Godfrey and you get the big pass rest here he doesn't get blocked he's the first guy Randall Godfrey was the first guy that hit four I made him bring the ball down that's starting to go up into the line and then all four defensive linemen got him to turn Dr Sanders and who filled it just before it hit the ground and has to stay there Dallas to take over about their own 17 yard line [Music] we would like to thank the blockbuster blend for providing us with these beautiful aerial views and indeed they are currently flying over this event altitude of a thousand feet and not a cloud anywhere it was cold this morning now it's delightful this is good football weather this is good hitting weather as long as it's down there instead of up here it's not too hot it's not too cold [Applause] nothing doing for Emmett Smith Brian keel made the stop yeah that's one of the guys who's becoming a popular guy there in Washington is Ryan keel kind of a local guy he'll free agent he was on the practice squad and they activated him and he says he's one of those guys who just kind of handles the middle look he got his hair coming down over that left eye or something in there that looks kind of kind of strange but he says he just he just he's just a big old fat guy who takes care of the middle that's those good bodies handle the outside stuff once again a job Masha's out the Herschel Walker did you see that thing that the bob was in the air as the flag was in the air and they were both arriving at Herschel Walker at about the same time I've never seen a flag thrown like that the ball is coming one way and Herschel Walker or torch Walker and a flag was coming the other way to Herschel Walker Redskins were wet signal II jumped early rich Owens see the jump lag rich Owens number 96 in fact it was keel the jumped it was 99 they said 96 he was up on top who was 99 after we were bragging about a big old killed big ol fat guy take care of the middle but the good part is that Smith off to the races near the line of scrimmage one great thing about having great speed in your second year that Darrell Green has you're not going to get real real long runs for touchdowns they're gonna bring it back you see the referee go like that you don't know if he means bring the ball back or bring the officials make a smash that's exactly what it was he was he was given that signal to get the officials over there closer to him here's Emmett five yards on the defense number 37 first half if you could see number 37 was Jesse Campbell and just as Emmitt Smith broke through the line Jesse Campbell came and not only did he get the facemask but he missed the tackle yep if you're gonna get to face masked you might as well drag the guy down to get the guy down I mean that was the you know he he had that facemask penalty Jesse Campbell did because he was in poor tackling position two tight end set up Flor goes in motion and goes back to talk attentively well they didn't get Jesse Campbell on that one no that's the thing that they were going to try I mean some somehow they think that they can get a post over here on this side here's the post I think they can get this but they can't get the guy beat here plus they can't get the safety out of the middle so you got two safeties sitting back there so the pump doesn't do anything see Jesse Campbell he's just sitting sitting sitting good coverage here he's just waiting for it reading the quarterback and there was no chance at that to be complete Dishman had him on one side Jesse Campbell had him on the other side and now it's second and ten and again Lafleur moves [Applause] this time by urban the slant it's a pattern they've sort of gotten away from yeah I may be you know I think that what they're trying to do is they were throwing that so much and not loosening them up that they want to try and loosen them up down this will Michael urban can do just by using his body and it's all position I mean christen Dishman is right there but all Michael Irvin did is when he got that right shoulder turned then he gave Troy Aikman a target to throw that slant to third and to their four out of ten on third down this is bjornsen and that's him at Smith he's short of the first Derek Smeath made the stop you know that's been the story of the Dallas Cowboys all year I mean they've done it this whole game Barry Switzer saying go for it but they put themselves in this position too way too many times I think that's the difference between the good cowboy teams that they've had over the years and this cowboy team which has been kind of average so far this year it's been this position on third down coming up short and getting in those fourth and short situation will you ever forget two years ago in Philadelphia third and short they went for it didn't make it fourth and short they went for it again and didn't make it you know and that's that that's a tough one because they want to run the ball they want to run it behind their best offensive lineman Larry Allen which brings you to the right side but it also makes you run it behind Tony Hudson who was a guy playing his first NFL football game ever I guess he played four downs last week but he's really really starting his first game Emmitt Smith went over the sideline and looked as if perfect crucial Walker was grabbing him Emmitt by the hand and stretching his arm trying to get see how much strength he had remember he got it hurt in the first half this isn't a bad situation for a play pass in fact I believe this they've been in the huddle too long any time you're in the huddle that long you usually call in a past one too long for a sneak yes yes way too long for a sneak this has to be a fast comes in motion and Eggman is back to throw [Applause] to the floor Leflore ran that pattern too short that's just stupid I mean you can't be be fourth and a half a yard and run a a a half a yard pattern that's just dumb I mean I know he's a rookie and I know all this stuff but you have to be taught that you see this thing you have to run beyond it maybe he did I don't think no no no he didn't I mean he may have got beyond at the end but I don't like he did now [Applause] I mean here he comes he's going to come out here you have to know where that marker is and you have to get beyond it you can't because the guys tackle - well you can't believe you're gonna catch it and then run for yardage and I don't care how big and how strong you are you're not gonna break a tackle by a guy like that just dump 642 left in the third the cowboy is 6 the Redskins nothing look at I don't know what he said to you he said he ran the pattern short and he said that's the second time too short I think we're two of the words he said and it was the floor and it was too short two times t-squared man emotion - Henry Eric I don't know [Applause] official saying that he was down but I didn't I didn't hear the whistle from up here but now there's a guy who's thinking he wasn't sure either why not take off here's Henry Ehlert and he just comes across and goes in motion and then he runs that skinny post that they call it he runs it on Kevin Smith desperat hits him I don't know that anyone touched him when he went down he goes down is touched yep he's got me right there Brock Marion Hill first down Redskins [Applause] [Music] Terry Allen the heads into Dallas territory right now for a McDonald's game break let's turn again in the jr. ground with the Fox Television Centre in Hollywood Pat and John take a look at Terry Kirby opening kickoff of the second half for the 49ers yes indeed he escapes runs 101 that job he starts to fade just a little bit here but enough to make it all away it is now though 24:19 Carolina's battled back and job and Washington JV has that old battle still trail by six [Music] [Applause] what's happening here with the Dallas Cowboys it's the same thing that happened in a lot of their games is is they win and they're beat the other team but they let them stay in there by not getting first downs by not making fourth downs by not being able to convert the red zone then they just leave this score if there's six to nothing now it seems like the whole game the Cowboys have really outplayed the Redskins but all the Redskins me there's a lot like the Philadelphia game all the Redskins made is one touchdown and it went in the game and as I've heard so many times heard you say so many times you've got to put them away once you get them down across the 30 there's some good line play in there I mean when we were talking to Terry Allen yesterday said this game's gonna be smashed much smash what is that word smash smash smash mouth I don't I don't use that word it's I don't either yeah Smash Mouth football I thought maybe somebody smashed you in the mouth well I mean that happened a lot of times too anyway said was going to be smashed with the critical all and you know one by the offense [Applause] what it's going to end up being it'll probably end up smashmouth an offensive line right now the Redskins take a timeout and fahrrad comes over to talk to that North Turner this is what drives the coach crazy you see you call a play in a formation and then the guys don't get lined up in it properly and there's still motion to each other and then they have to take a timeout what Nora Turner was doing he was watching that formation he and Terry wrote Biscay the wide receiver coach next to him we can't get it lined up then let's take a timeout and talk about it and come try it again third and seven at the Dallas 29 especially when you get third down receiver's what's that defensively bring some makes the clutch reception in front of kevin smith he did watch his hearing the clicker you'll see the quarterback up on top and a receiver down here in the bottom Chris Thomas he's just working right there and he works with slant and once he gets to the position right now and Kevin Smith right there now the ball can be led into him and down where there's no way that Kevin Smith can get to it the only guy that can catch it as a receiver at the 20 first and 10 city 18 stopped by Fred Strickland it was the thing that North Turner was always talking about is being able to convert third downs because then you can then you can call place then you can string things together then you can get mixture you can run inside run outside play pass pass heat just Lancer all those things when you can't convert the third downs then you never get into a rhythm and play calling [Applause] never gets tired of talking about football intended for Asher Chris Thomas running the guy that caught that slant he was a guy to play with the 49ers a couple years ago went to Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo and a lot of a lot of great football players have come out of Cal Poly they what kind of football they play a smash man play Smash Mouth football they play at Cal Poly and who rent their that you might know Chris Thomas and who else no no Bobby Beathard went there who was your teammate another big third down at another timeout Bravo a lot of big names look at this exchange between quarterback and coach read lips a gust Bharat takes off his helmet here and said it's not my fault and what does no I'm saying I know it's not your fault it's not blaming you with you but it was just it was just that he had to use two timeouts because of not getting lined up from we're gonna have to settle for a field one Chris Thomas I told you that Cal Poly guy you got to watch out anytime there's Cal Poly guys in the game you're gonna throw them on big down how about you go ahead Deion Sanders go on Deion Sanders with the Cal Poly guy here he is right here here's Deion Sanders right here Chris Thomas just gets up like like he's going up and then he just stops that's kind of a form of a fade stop I'll tell you what that's a heck of a throw by Gus rod I know he was he was watching that thing all the way so now that they got the ball down there now they can bring edge Simmons in here again the big old tackle has a tight end and probably run to the right out of Washington that one coming Thomas gets him down an extra tackle they run to that side for a touchdown [Applause] that's a heck of a series two timeouts wasted and they wind up with a touchdown anyway yep edy Simmons making the block their big trade Johnson the off guard pulling Layton carry Allen into the end zone but again a couple of good passes after some messed up formations good passes by Gus Parata both of them to Chris Thomas at second pass in front of Dion Sanders to Chris Thomas that ball is in the in the air long before he made his final break Norva say now he's glad he didn't blame karate and at seven six know of Turner's team is ahead by one let's just play here you know we talked about here Zedd Simmons and the block that he gets here and watch watch trade Johnson he's going to be pulling there watch the big left guard he pulls the lane so you get ed Simmons as a tight end you get your big trade Johnson pulled from the offside walks in and you got a good block from the man who is in motion James Jenkins here's Herschel Walker and it's not my doing - about the 24 stop by Jenkins got the good block or one of the good blocks in the kickoff on the touchdown play you talk about momentum and how things change the mead and the Cowboys we talked about that they were playing well but they just didn't score they didn't take advantage of when they were going well they let the Redskins sit in there hang in there and then Gus brought makes a couple plays Gary Allen makes a couple plays and boom they're ahead seven six now the Giants have won the Redskins win they'll tie the Giants if the Cowboys win they'll still be behind the Giants but this is a tie the Redskins it's a big game for both these ten Eggman they went off the corner the madness is caught fumble Walker gets it [Music] the risk in sideline is saying we got looked as if Walker Herschel Walker who made the recovery was down the Redskins are just taking a tour they're playing always use award intensity the Redskins are playing with more intensity to the cowboy the artisan made the reception and still accountable there are even more intensity in me and that pile up there in fact I think the Redskins had the most intensity the officials were second most and the Cowboys were third you think he had possession no I don't think he had possession Walker squeezed it got away from him he squeezed it again and it got away from him and he's still squeezing yeah Smith is down there squeezing it Dishman is trying to squeeze it [Applause] now it's close to a first down they might have to measure to see where the recovery was made they get they have given it to Herschel Walker now let's see if it was the first down yes it is [Applause] that was a a completion to bjornsen and then a fumble and then recovered by Herschel Walker for the first down very soon we'll we'll take these things any way we could get him however yeah I mean I'm impressed with thee with a job this Washington Redskins defense is doing in the way Mike Nolan has a plan and defensive coordinator Oleg at the defensive line coach and the discipline and the intensity of this defensive plan way Emmitt Smith to the authority a flag on the play that's flag is in the area of offensive holding that came from the umpire that's usually against an offensive lineman down on the field before the game we were talking with the people that circulate down on the field [Applause] Paul against Nate Newton but every anyway everybody was saying without question Mike no one we were just talking about a minute ago should be a head coach in the NFL and oh and he's a young guy and he's going to be a head coach in the NFL and it was interesting I saw a shot of you down there talking to his dad dick Nolan who was a team many years with the Giants and Mike Nolan 2/3 of you stand in there saying that's it that's a great shot [Applause] Blu's Newton scrambles Ford first those are some words you've never used before in your life Newton scrambles for it maybe I guess they got it yep this is good coverage this is one of those covering sacks you see Troy Aikman was looked and looked and looking and he had to hold the ball too long and then then the sack is going to come this is why he had to hold the ball you watch Chris de Sherman here against Michael Irvin you know there's one guy see he can't go there no and then he looked on one side he looked in the middle no by the time he looked to the third one he got the ball knocked down second and 30 [Music] to we'll bring us about 30 28 this game summary brought to you by budweiser Emmitt Smith 16 rushes 888 yard Terry Allen got his fourth touchdown rushing touchdown of the season to tie the score have allowed one touchdown not today in the last eight quarters none today two field goals by Dallas and that's where their their defense is so good there's an exampie the offensive coordinator the cowboys and again these these situations are taught them and the Cowboys have a lot of problems [Music] in complete the stepford williams who would not have been enough for a first down so the Cowboys will have to punt with 19 seconds left in the third quarter but couldn't you just feel the momentum change it could you just feel the intensity and that Redskins sideline even though things were happening to him where they weren't lining up properly they had a burn tying up you know North Turner was getting upset Gus Farhat got upset but at least they got upset yeah and I don't care what you say this is a game of emotion and there's only one way to play it and you have to play it with a heck of a lot of emotion having said that there's a penalty if you don't play it with a lot of emotion you don't wind up playing in December late December in January there's no other way to play yeardley [Applause] Roderick Thomas still four down but at some point I think we know the Cowboys if they're going to have any kind of year and I mean it may get to the point of no return here quickly they have to get mad about it and say hey you know let's go out there do some fight like the Redskins just did on that last series where they ended up this is Brian into Dallas territory at the 45 Dale will spray in there with Mitchell [Applause] for the Cowboys Ryan Mitchell the return guys snapper against return guy well somebody's got to get excited tonight why is this dog in a tailspin you'll see in just a minute does Marge have a new husband who'll be the ultimate paintball warrior what brought Mulder and the Lone Gunmen together all new neck x-file all these secrets be revealed tonight starting at 7 6 central here on Fox [Applause] first and 10 Washington at the Dallas 45 the motion he gives to Terry [Applause] picks up three you know one of the things the Redskins felt is that their that their offensive line is bigger and stronger than the Cowboys defense and if they could get to this position in the game it's between now and the end of the game they could just wear them out that's the end of the third quarter with the score Washington 7 Dallas 6 Fox NFL Sunday will continue after these messages and a word from your local Fox station [Music] remember a few years ago you said you'd never seen a sunset now in fact it was here in Dallas where I saw the first sunset of my life now I'm talking about where the Sun really comes below there where you see it I mean I've seen that look many times out of the orange look at all those things second it sets aller up the middle for a few duaa they got Henry Ehlert in this game that kind of started him going because there was a point where they hadn't hit a wide receiver and I think Henry Ehlert came into the game and was the first wide receiver to catch a pass and then they started some things going and they got Chris Thomas in there and he catches a couple of passes and yeah and that seemed to to widen or stretch this cowboy defense a little and now they're the cowboy 35 yard line Westbrook cover by Sanders a flag on the play and that's going to be against Westbrook yep there were there were two officials right there and they didn't call anything and then the third official threw the flag in there Oh that was funny that there were two to officials on that side and the guy from the middle [Applause] and Michael Westbrook said that Deion Sanders has a hold of them and you can see the hand right there is on them right now but does he hold them you say I don't know I don't know that that's a whole is that pass interference no no unless you go back and let something happen before that what we saw in that picture was not less not pass interference nevertheless its first down at the cowboy 23 yard line [Applause] straight ahead for nothing Dexter Coakley made the stop there's Deion Sanders still can't believe it he's down there he's down there talking to that fishel in the middle he's walking over towards the official in the middle that called it there was an official on both sides there that that didn't call him and the official in the middle called it the one that Dion's talking to right now that he walked over there to talk to why he doesn't go to the defensive huddle anyway no so he has time to talk to the officials between plays second and a little over ten [Applause] in reality he's amazing Henry came in and change this game he's been playing it for 15 years they couldn't get a ball to a wide receiver they bring him in now watch this against Kevin Smith there's Henry Allen he's going to go get to the end zone and it's just going to be a jump ball you see he's watching the ball he pushes Kevin's head right there Theater does him then comes back and catches a ball that's what a 15-year vet [Applause] it was sort of phased out early in the year and now he's phased himself right back in now and they're they're allowing more and more pushing by wide receivers this year than ever extra point by Blanton is good it's 14-6 and the crowd at Texas Stadium is stunned 13:37 left Fox NFL Sunday is brought to you by Mazda come see what happens when a car company has more engineers and accountants Mazda by Miller Lite now official beer sponsor and by Texaco Oh world of energy that could be the end of the a lot of things by leaving the cowboy season that's the sunset there it is you've seen - now could Barry Switzer he is he is really on that official when he say it as Henry Ehlert wish Kevin Smith he's right he did push him but his cowboys are down here's Herschel Walker returning to kickoff breaks out of the pack [Applause] [Music] the Redskins have done Alyssa's comeback in spite of those key injuries today Leslie Shepard dislocated his elbow Alvin Harper sprained his ankle LarryBoy hurt his ankle you know in spite of that they've captured the lead the interesting thing but that brought Henry Ellard into the game and Ellard kind of gave him a spark and then that also brought Chris Thomas into the game or it would have been Alvin Harper right then you know and that gave him another spark and then they took all the momentum and all the fight and everything away from the cowboy hey fun games 241 Stanley Richard hit him hard you should see Larry come around that corner I mean this is the way a guard is supposed to come around a corner I know the Cowboys are down and lose we'll watch Larry Al and pull and make a collision here I mean he comes out like a determined man now this is a way a guard should block he just got a little race at that side that's it that's a awesome sight would you like to be Jesse Campbell there Jesse Campbell's looking and he sees number 73 and says look I got to stand up to it but I don't like it second I won at second carrier oh this one with his last surge should get the first down you know we saw a picture when they when the Redskins had the ball just before they scored we showed the owner of the Cowboys Jerry Jones down near the sideline and he was walked in that sideline with some real urgency of urgency as step one of the guys that he walked to was Larry Allen now I don't know who is gonna walk to Larry Allen is one of the people who can who can help you immediately and Jerry Jones is a very very competitive guy you're set in motion the fake this time still on it's over the fingers of Eric Larsen you know what this is all about it's all about great coverage today by the Washington Redskins because Troy Aikman has had some time and he's looked at his looked but he just hasn't been able to find anyone open no one is getting open I mean need the the tight ends aren't here's Michael Irvin he's on Chris Dishman and you watch him you see and he's covered you see the tight end is covered you see the other side here's Anthony Miller he's running nothing there's nothing to throw to there no one's working yes so so not all these sacks and all these things are the quarterback of the line it's been great coverage by the Redskins [Applause] about three yards eggman again gets to his feet you know these these tight ends have been catching the ball but they they catch him all the time for nine yards and that's the thing that you know you know train was talking about the underneath game and how they have to do the underneath game but you know he has to get rid of the ball because he's getting hit every time and then none of his outside guys are getting open then he tries to go to his short guys and they're running two and three yard patterns four wide receivers this time [Applause] Smith stays in the block picks up a Billy Davis and that'll be enough to move the stick you know you said something a minute ago and talking about who is covered and the other good the guys who weren't getting the ball we're not working yeah that's that's a thing watch Billy Davis out here you see three receivers on this side Billy Davis is on this side and this is what he looks like his he he has isolation over here he's on Darryl Greene he gets him turned traitement makes a perfect pass and a good catch by and Billy Davis Neal Billy Davis for a guy that isn't a starter and doesn't play a lot seems to make more big as in Lane has knee though both on special teams and whenever they find I think gotta play in a little more here's Eggman there's the flag there had to be one that play for burns and now Jesse Campbell was there Jesse Campbell was covering at at some point when you cover a guy if he's going to catch it you have to go from cover guide to tackler Jesse Campbell went to tackler too early [Applause] the referee washed one of his officials he got his flying North saying that he that's a nun tension engine ass is what he's saying come on but Jesse Campbell did tackle him before the ball got there well Tolman again is the referee for that back to you Jerry Jones I have something to say about it Barry [Applause] [Music] that's a third time that they picked up a flag against these Cowboys once they play here it's a play fast here it is right here was Jesse Campbell number 37 the balls in the air he tackles a ball that's in fairness okay now know what they're saying as the ball was over his head but if you don't tackle them you don't know how high he's gonna go to catch it how can you say it's uncatchable yeah you can't I don't know I mean that you know sometimes you know I like these true conferences to get things straightened out but sometimes what they do I think a guy sees something makes a call and then someone else talks them out of it second and ten Davis wide to the right enjoyed level and complete michael irvin and it slipped through his fingers hey Cris Dishman has done an outstanding job on Michael Irvin he's been on him all damn he's one of these guys it just kind of pesters you you know he's there he's not a real physical guy but he's always grabbing an arm he's doing all those things that just froze your concentration off and now this one he could have caught well he yeah he he should have but I think that I think Chris Dishman has got him distracted I think he's got him a little frustrated as Darryl Greene who's limping Dishman who was on the coverage yeah that was he looked like at the end of the play he got tangled up a little bit but he's been out there all day on Michael Irvin he's been messing with him all day and I think I think he's taking a little that concentration off and just you know I'm just on that last pattern there by grabbing a hand you know as he went you know before he got his hands up I think that took just enough off it made Michael Irvin drop that fast [Applause] so Eggman perhaps say let's go let's get the play in let's get going well they got Dishman out of there now's the time to go to work if Michael Irvin's your playmaker go to work with him third [Applause] that's the first thing you look for here's a flag Cowboys will punt it the Troy Aikman has thrown a couple of pretty good passes here I mean I mean he's as accurate as there is and those those balls have been in there I mean I think Michael Irvin should have caught the one before and I think step four Williams should have caught that one so be going didn't to punt for the Cowboys hi [Music] missile signals fair catch and makes it at 212 where the Redskins will take over with 10 minutes and 14 seconds left to play Washington leading 14 6 Redskins 14 Dallas 6 10 14 left a lot of time you Cowboys have all three of their timeouts is marked ruin a Wade Wilson the backup quarterback the backup to akley tunay has been missed Cris Dishman there is talking to Darryl Greene about how he's been covering Michael Irvin and doing an excellent job he had Simmons again a tight in you see he came out of there like there was a wide receivers that goes world there's Terry Allen to the 15 again for McDonald's game break let's return to James Brown the Fox Television Centre in Hollywood and John take a look at hot carolina drew closer to San Francisco almost reminiscent of the catch great catch by Wesley walls in the back of the endzone that made it 24 19 it is now 27:19 Carolina has the ball back to Pat and John second and eight Redskins at their own 15 they lead Dallas 14:6 and again they're having problems with their formations two tight end set up in motion [Applause] intended I think for Westbrook this game is presented by authority of the National Football League is intended for the private use of our audience any rebroadcast or other use of this telecast without the express written consent of the Dallas Cowboys and the NFL is prohibited there are some guys that just know how to get ready and beat other guys and you just have the feeling that that Norv Turner knows how to get his team ready to play the Dallas Cowboys better than anyone a coach here he knows what they say that's overwhelming pass is batted into the air the Redskins Jamie Asher and that will be enough for a first down Washington and that was a third down and you talk about things going your way in a big one you know that you need some breaks of this game and you're gonna have some big plays and you're gonna have some tough plays and you're gonna have some lucky plays and this may be one of those I'm in the ball is tapped up in the air Jamie Asher does a jump ball between in front of two Dallas Cowboys and then rambles and rumbles and stumbles to a first down and big ole and Simmons is back that tight in I bet he enjoys that [Applause] [Music] and going deep the receiver henry Ellard understand those are the things they know that you're out there on that on that right side you know that you can get some double moves and that's what this is when you when you come and you do a stop and go or an out and go that's a triple move that's a stop and go and then and out and go and then a go and it was on Darren Woodson you know you got to have good grip right good protection to run anything like that well you know North had those plays and he told us last night that he's going to get some plays he's going to have some guys open breaks through for another first down Brock Mary and finally dragged him down here II ran that one like a runaway alright daddy did you see Omar stockmeyer come up there to hit him he just ran right over I watched Terry Allen here he he does a little of that counter step and then watch how he finds a hole here and then watch him finish it right here Bowman he just runs right over top Meyer I mean this guy you know when you look at Terry Allen and the way he runs in the way he plays he's just a football player and that's the way football should be played Terry Allen pleasure [Applause] gets in outside the 45 to the 40 cent he's not that big or doesn't appear to be that big Terry Allen 210 that's big but he doesn't look that big you see a North Turner is still making those counter plays I mean runs to Terry Allen know when you think you're going to zero in on Terry Allen runs to the fullback remember we started with Larry Bowie early in the game and that time as Mark Logan has taken his place just to get you to you where you're not sure what they're going to do north turner and the redskins office always keeps you a little off-balance second and six [Applause] and take it down by Godfrey and by Hennings we were watching the Redskins and their walk through yesterday you could just see those guys and they're so big I mean you just look at that left side that Joe Patton over there and trait Johnson at left guard you think if you have to run something that's not bad getting in there behind those guys I mean look at this side through the size at number 77 Trey Johnson there if you're gonna get in behind something why not get in behind this stuff right there that's not bad stuff yes 320 apiece he's tripped up and he won't get the first down and the Redskins will have to punish what and the heck was that play I have not seen that I don't know I mean it was kind of it's a it's a fake to the fullback here see the Logan oh he ran into Logan is what it was and Gus fought just kind of improvised on that play that's dangerous kind of a dangerous play but still Terry Allen working for the first down watch logan comes in there and he runs right into fraud i think he was going to fake the logan a pitchout pitch out to allens going to be the option play maybe yeah well Logan ran into him made some kind of option out of it maybe wasn't supposed to be maybe Turks on aim for the corner like in us about the 3-yard line coffin corner coffin corner there's another expression we haven't heard in a long time 14:6 Washington [Music] the blockbuster blimp is now based in Dallas Texas and we look forward to seeing the blockbuster blimp in future events here at Fox Sports House with the hole in the roof remember when they put the two-point conversion back in pro football it was for games like this you know that the Cowboys are our one touchdown away from tying this game one touchdown and ahead to conversion of course as Eggman back to throw in the end zone [Applause] [Music] [Applause] it looks like to me that Chris Dishman has gotten the best of Michael Irvin out there today and your whether he's had any help or not is just that you know he's kind of been over him all day I mean he's been there and he's done these little things and just kind of frustrate him he's kind of there all the time and and a pushin it just is just rabid and just having an arm out there you know punch him in the face grab the New Jersey I mean he's been kind of pecking at him all day retreats in the end zone [Applause] get the Cowboys out of the shadow of their own endzone and go close and I think the Cowboys have one area to work on it's been pretty effective and that's the area of Jesse Campbell I mean they've been able to run some things take advantage of Jesse Campbell you know that past their unjust Campbell because they can't get anything on those two corners Cris Dishman or Darryl Greene first and ten at the 24 [Applause] [Music] intended again for today's game is being produced by Bob Stenner directed by the new grandfather Sandi Grossman the associate directors by croix broadcast associates of Fran Morrison and Charles Macdonald technical producer Bob Muller studio produced by Scott Ackerson directed by Bob levy senior producers Bill Brown and the executive producers of Fox Sports red Gorham and David Hill [Applause] dragged out of bounds outside the 4242 by Chris Dishman Michael Irvin wins this battle he has to win a few more and this drive for the Cowboys to get in touch Daisy he gets a little push he gets a little physical there then when he makes the break once he takes that first step away from Dishman the ball is out of Troy Aikman's hand the ball is out of there and it's on its way before Michael Irvin ever makes that last turn Dishman just hung on first half the floral motion gets into midfield Dishman again the longest scoring drive this season for the Cowboys has been 81 yards this one if they score and that's a big if would be 97 yards but they're doing one thing that I like on this Drive I mean yo try eight wins you got he's a he's a leader he's that his offensive Cowboys Michael Irvin is your playmaker you have to score you have to give him the ball there's nothing they know when he's the third one Emmitt Smith I mean that's that's Ernie Zambezi and that's what he says you know that we're gonna take what we do best and we're gonna have our best guys do it so he's calling plays now and this is the the time where you really get down to it I mean this could be the the making or breaking drive of the Dallas Cowboys they need about a yard maybe a little bit less for a first down well obviously with with four minutes to go here they are going to have to two shots to get a first down here so if you knew you can get it it's not bad to go for a big one on this plate you'll go for a play path big if it is a big if because their success rate on fourth and short hasn't been amazing over the last couple of years 4:05 left to play Washington 14 Dallas 6 ball just across midfield at the 49 third and short Cowboys have all three of their timeouts remaining and don't get it lost Johnny he lost yardage and now they have to go to that fourth down that pass play those of you who watched the 49ers overcome Carolina 27 to 19 welcome to Texas Stadium this is third down and short for the Cowboys and they will get back to the line of scrimmage and the guy that made the play was a strong safety boys talk about that age man huh that time they brought Jesse Campbell up and he was a guy that got the penetration inside fourth and about two now [Applause] to the 20 that was a heck of a play by Troy Aikman a great pass protection Craig who was trying to go to the left he looked to one receivers left a second receiver to the left and he finally came back to Michael Irvin who was his third receiver who watched his pastor tells him look left looked left hook to the head now the third receiver and he even pumped and waited to get it out there to Michael Irvin I tell you that that is Troy Aikman that is also good pass protection because Michael Irvin was able to do this see that Troy still had the ball and come off a pattern stay alert and keep working and give Troy Aikman something to throw - he got just across the 20 of the Redskins have a player down clock is stopped the Cowboys first and ten at the 28 been on this Drive four out of six for 79 yards urban on this vibe three out of 53 out three catches for 58 yards so it's been the playmaker making plays and the quarterback make it through that a Miller and wait there's a flag down he's been working Michael urban like you said pat on that drive then he decided to go to the other side the Anthony Miller I think this is going to be pass interference against the Redskins and it is being down by 8 points the Cowboys need a touchdown and a two-point conversion don't often catch him Gerald Green is right out here here's the Anthony Miller he's going to run a slant you gonna see Derrick rain come off with him to the inside and grabbed him right there just before the ball got there and then usually when you see him back off and raise their hands back like that that means they did it first and goal the Cowboys in about tonight here's a man with time lots of time had a chance again the Redskins really haven't gotten a big pass rush on this bribe because eight minutes had time a number of times to to look for guys and go to his third and fourth receivers that time he threw it low there too Anthony Miller he could have had a shot at it but it would have been a great catch would have been a great catch second and goal of deny protection again the key is labor now the bounds I don't understand that pass to the tight end for nine yards I don't know what the pattern is that where the tight end is taught to run ten yards I don't think it's in the playbook anyway well I mean I you know I know he's trying to hit his tight end cuz he's he's throwing his slants having the outside guy run a slant and it tight end running out and so if you come off with the slant then he throws the out and if you if you come with the out he throws the slam well they're making them throw the out but they're none yard two minutes to play Washington fourteen Dallas six fourteen six Washington leaves Dallas two minutes left to play following footballs coverage the world's funniest except on the west coast when it'll be sitting to break it or time third and goal the ball at the sixth we'd like to welcome those of you who just joined us the texas stadium head coach Barry Switzer owner Jerry Jones the Cowboys trailing 14 six the season is down to two plays touchdown now they remember John Madden talking about a little bit earlier the two-point conversion Dallas's success rate this year's one out of four of the NFL success rate is 40% and Troy Aikman proved that he was a man and Michael urban on this drive proof that he was a playmaker because he just kept fighting he just kept fighting and fighting every time Cris Dishman has been on them all day they've been fighting all day and then on this final dry Michael Irvin here is a pen for two [Applause] - amen Smith and the Cowboys tired Washington 14 fifty-five the Redskins down 2-1 found a champion outsell the final bell rings that's what Troy Aikman was on this Drive he was darn near perfect he knew that it had to be in his hand and he took them all the way down to vo throwing the ball mixing around throwing it for Michael Irvin and he had to make this play for the time and the three guys who carried him in through the nineties til now to a time at they were nicknamed the triplets back in them too [Applause] today I think when they get down there in that three yard line they had 97 yards to go you you could just see Troy Aikman said let's go do it that big fourth down play that fourth down play where he had all that time a fine Michael Irvin who was really his firm receiver but he kept working [Applause] God sails into the at the Redskins well and take over at the 20 Brian Mitchell [Applause] that's just for the touchdown Troy Aikman knows that he has to do it and he's going to look and he's looking and he flies Michael Irvin and he says I'm going to take my chances with that battle they look like they're even they looked like they were fighting I'm gonna take it good Troy Aikman right there then he's giving them a talk and they all put their hands together here you can just feel in that meeting in that group you can feel a sense of urgency 97 yards to tie the game the Redskins first intent of their own [Applause] hopefully shoves him out of our [Applause] this is what deep but the Cowboys have to be thinkin now is to is do is to give the ball back because they have their timeout and I would think with this field position that the Cowboys would be using the timeouts on defense if the Redskins don't go out of bounds and the Redskins should be thinking do we stay at bath or do we force overtime Pass is incomplete I think when you're on the road you force overtime Turner Turner is linked in that right now you go for a pass where do you go an incomplete pass of course would stop the clock and incomplete run would make him use a timeout he's putting his fast receding unit which includes Brian Mitchell Chris Thomas into the game I wouldn't be surprised to see him ruin that play [Applause] Michell I wouldn't just know in North Turner he is not a conservative play caller I would expect him to throw a ball here and try and get a first down they burned their last timeout they burned their last timeout well again it was that formation thing they've had trouble this whole game with that formation when they get their three and four wide receivers in there they've had trouble all day getting them aligned properly [Applause] Turner just closed his arms like well we just wasted another one there but this is a big call here this is a big call for North Vernon you know do you do you go and and and throw the ball and get a first down and then you get to run two more time off the clock although the Cowboys do have all three of their time out or do you go conservative and run the ball following football coverage the world's funniest except on the west coast where you'll see that it's regular time nothing funny about what's going on right here now this is pretty tight you don't yeah we started this game talking about a rivalry and tradition and yes it's lit alive and went great games these were between the Cowboys moretz pins and here today this is fun both teams have to win scram this crowd knows that sir we think about you see the players and urgency to coat these fans even have a little urgency gives to Mitchell in the first daddy's chased down by Shantae Harbor the Cowboys should take a timeout and I think they just did because I see the clock stopped well here comes everybody what's in this down because the Cowboys are going to get the ball back again whereas you have Deion Sanders as a punt returner they're going to get the ball back here in pretty good field position with two timeouts left there's Darren Woodson right here we'll see what happened to him in that play remember he's had a bad knee and he's missing he's missed a game already this year with the bad knee and I don't know it looks like he did something when he was jumping over the pile there because when you know when you have a bad knee or about anything it doesn't take much to reinjure what do you try to protect it and in doing so and trying to protect it whatever you do you you do awkwardly that looks like something happened in the front of his leg though they're adding three seconds to the clock back to 137 yeah I think that's when they took time out yeah remember after they they stopped Brian Mitchell on the run may they took time out before they even knew that Darren Woodson was injured and the Cowboys still have two timeouts but they will get a timeout an automatic timeout after the punt of change of possession those eyes are Trey and he has some fire in there today and in this fourth quarter it was like it was like some some light went off in there and in Troy Aikman and Michael herb and it said we're gonna do it let's go do it scoring plays today first off Terry Allen I won picked Ray Johnson in there's big right guard that tied the store they added the extra point to go ahead 7 6 which was Henry Allen he had a little push off there Redskins second score McHenry eller did kind of change of momentum for these Redskins here's Aiken looking back to the playmaker Michael Irvin who was in the end zone what he made the reception was knocked backwards again following football coverage to the world's funniest except on the west coast well we had the Sun going down on the Dallas season what time does Sun come up I don't know but we saw the Sun go down and we saw the Sun almost go down in the cowboy season and and maybe it's like a shade you know maybe it went down there and someone started to pull it back up again maybe and I think that I think that someone had pulled it back up was Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith and the offensive line who gave Athan a lot of time today and they have to be credited you know because they were the area you know you say George hagman's play a left tackle and they got Tony Hudson playing right tackle for the first time but on that drive they gave Troy Aikman excellent protection you know he said yesterday we were talking to him he said I like these two young guys because they are going to make mistakes they going to miss some blocks but they're going to fight you and then and then I was talking about what Nate Newton said when he came on the bus before the game he said we're gonna go out and have some fun today Matt Turk has averaged almost 50 yards today he has some rockets in that leg and you don't want out kick the coverage when you got a dangerous man like Deion Sanders back deep Cowboys pocket this is Terk kicks it out of bounds and the Cowboys will take over their own 43 and now the Cowboys have great field position 32 yard fun this is a meeting over on the Dallas iodine earlier and this is a situation to Troy Aikman was talking about we're gonna get the ball back and when we do let's do something with it and with this great field position all he needs here to get in field goal position there's a couple of first down and he asked two timeouts to work with in a minute 29 seconds and two timeouts at plenty of time to go for a touchdown but again a couple of first downs get it down to the 30 would be their first goal three wide receivers that's urban and going in motion Emmitt Smith behind - of a plan taught by step Fred Williams for a first down Woodson will not be back you know it's interesting that the Ernie's the MPC has been much maligned for calling plays but in the fourth quarter of this game he's been - pretty good one sessemann [Applause] [Music] intended for Emmett Smith knocked away by William Jimmy Williams they think he's gonna be a very fine player oh they think there's gonna be a lot like Darren Woodson he was the same type of player he was a linebacker in college who the Redskins made a safety out of that's the same history that Darren Woodson has Richie Cunningham little Richie Cunningham he's getting ready to be in real good field goal range the Cowboys need about 15 more yards clock is stopped with a minute and four seconds there's eight men again he has a lot of time and again the pass is complete of yours and I wonder what the average completion yardage is it was completion to a tight end both yours and and Lafleur yeah that's been killing less than five yards I mean it may be like two maybe 42 seconds clock running [Applause] [Music] this is Anthony [Applause] where that first down marker is Anthony Miller the first down marker here was beyond it now boys have taken a timeout they have one last now see he had to get to that 30-yard line now that did two things that's going to give the Cowboys a first down so they can go for some shots at the end zone plus it puts him in field goal range right now you don't want a penalty you don't want an interception you don't want any turnover you don't want anything that's going to lose any yardage there's an Woodson but if I had to that situation I don't know that I would rather have any one to have the ball Detroit but I think Norv Turner you look at him right now he knows that as well as anyone probably better than anyone probably better because he probably knows Troy Aikman better than anyone they trained him developed him there's a phone scrambling for three yards coming ham a little bit closer they've saved one time out now say Toledo the Troy Aikman knew that he can't take a sock he wants to it he he wants his team to get up there I don't know what he wanted to do that though still at a timeout yeah but he didn't have to do that no [Applause] that's it down gone yeah but that brings up fourth down gotta go for them have to kick the field goal gotta go to that's third down third down okay I was looking at the down marker that was third down it but you can't you can't do that on third down so he's buying this one more play and then he can do whatever because he still has his [Applause] to the 25 [Applause] they'll use the timeout now Cunningham will have a timeout to think area Switzer Java's I know they're the special teams coach [Applause] jerry jones is saying my presence willed them to win he takes back yet nothing was going right till Jerry Jones came down out of the sidelines you thinking you think he said that too until my presence yeah he willed them I mean that meant no I think he did go down there to will him to win and he believes he could will him to win he first went down and some bad things out because when he first got down there that was right before Henry Ellard scored a touchdown if you don't believe it it's not going to happen and he believes it [Applause] under what I wonder what the thoughts were going through all their minds right now when you like to see what's going through his mind what nothing it's just a blank is that what you do as a picker you just go blank if you're a good one just go blank and we're not even aware that anybody's around but you still see and feel and see no I don't know look at this look at this they're all holding hands there in the sideline this is a moment yarn centers the holder he'll astray the center [Applause] [Music] five 42 yards out four seconds a long trip back to Washington [Applause] and Watson got well in a hurry to watch it go through North couldn't get a turn the game inches inside the upright that's all it counts [Applause] well there's no way that richie cunningham is going to kick this wall in the air his 30th field goal of the year four seconds left what you do on this kick as you just try and try and roll it down to the middle and make them field it and then then that'll take off the hole for a second the clock starts when they first touch the ball not when it's kicked the bouncer animal by the tight-end a sure he's gonna lateral it back we're looking to the play of the game is brought to you by energizer and has to be that touchdown pass to urban the two-point conversion was just as big and let's go down to Mike doozy all right Troy Aikman let's talk about the drive the 97 yard drive that got you back to Tyler's football game well we knew at the time that that was gonna be our last opportunity to get back in the game we knew we had to get a touchdown guys did a nice job you know we talked about it one play at a time guys made plays when they had to make you know and my hats off to all those guys what does this comeback do to the rest of your season and the diss save your season today well it probably saved us I mean this games this games it was a big game but we don't go on to take care of business from here then this one we won't really matter too much but I think we all realize that in order to keep our hopes alive and get back in the race and have any kind of chance we had to win today even the way the offense was performing early did you fear at one point that maybe this just wasn't going to be the day well we struggled we you know there's no question about that as frustrating it's been frustrating all year but I think in sign of a good football team was going to say to the battle back we were able to put you versity behind us and come up with a football right troy aikman Thank You Troy he's not going to sing the national anthem tonight is he coming up on the Fox NFL Sunday postgame report we'll get you up to date on all the scores from around the league that's all next on the Fox NFL Sunday postgame report [Music] you
