1999 - WK 15 - TB @ OAK [FULL GAME]

he's nice and warm for december we go down to the field for the third member of our crew brian weber who's with the buccaneers head coach tony dungy all right kurt tony sean king has played with so much composure do you think he'll handle the extra pressure of his first road start well it's tough on the road but he uh played in seattle and did a great job in that noise and that environment raiders have a great defense so i have his work cut out for him appreciate your time let's go back to kurt and brian all right thank you brian sean king has won his last 16 games last 14 at tulane first two starts here in the nfl how do you think he's gonna fare here on the road well you know just like tony said three weeks ago they went up to seattle when seattle was eight and two sean king came off the bench that day in the second half to a touchdown pass to dave moore so i think with sean king and the bucks the fact that they came up here to the northwest just three weeks ago you know they're in the same rhythm the same schedule right now they feel like they can do the same thing but of course he came in when trent dilfer broke his collarbone and was done for the year we got two of the brightest young minds in the national football league as head coaches today john gruden just 36 years old in his second year trying to lead the raider turn around and he saw tony dungy in his fourth year with the bucks a win today and the buccaneers make the playoffs martine dramatica with the kickoff little squid kick right down the middle napoleon kaufman picks it up the shoe goes flying down to the 15-yard line is kaufman al-shaman singleton on the return rick gannon having his best year statistically as a quarterback leads the raiders into battle solid front five for them collins wisniewski barrett robbins barry sims for free agent rookie and lincoln kennedy the backs and receivers john richie tyrone wheatley brown jet and ricky dudley is the tight end you mentioned barry sims the free agent rookie right there his job a lot of today is going to be warren sapp his first entry into this league he had bruce smith that left tackle mentally tough kit first down they go play action quick pass almost intercepted that ball hit hardy nickerson right in the hands nickerson and this bucket near defense playing as well as you can play right now up front sap and culpepper two of the leading defensive tackles in the league we've got a great battle between the tackles marcus jones make his first start replacing steve white who is injured at the right hand spot brooks nickerson and quarles the linebackers and the defensive back field rondae barber and donnie abraham the corners robinson and lynch the safeties derek brooks right there playing as well as any linebacker in football will earn a trip to hawaii again this year on second down ganon over the middle pass complete ricky dudley the tight end good enough for the first down a pickup of 13. well that's a weapon that the raiders have to get involved in this game today you know i was talking to jim irkembeck the tight end coach before the game and here's dudley in a two tight end set just gonna come across the middle he said who coached tony gonzalez in kansas city last year said this kid runs better than tony gonzalez he's faster and a bigger target the only question about him has been his hand since he's come out of ohio state did a good job of using his body to catch that one first down from the 29 tyrone wheatley his first carry into the open field nice battle all the way out to the 44 yard line again of 15 before john lynch gets it [Music] well tyrone wheatley has been a different guy since he came out to the west coast this year nice in giant inside black in here you see cult pepper on this side right here of the center barrett roberts good job of barry sims taking over on that and breaks the tackle party nickerson nickerson who came back home went to school here right in berkeley got the interception and missed the tackle or maybe a little too excited early in this game raiders two tight ends in whitley alone in the backfield gets the carry the more running room out across midfield steps out of bounds at the 46. donnie abraham pushes him out but 10 more yards for wheatley well tyrone wheatley has become a thumper since he's gotten here guy that uses that big 230 pounds running to the right behind lincoln kennedy and ricky dudley opens up that hole and here's dudley now you know good stiff arm on donnie abraham right there able to pick up the first down and that's what john gruden has always liked in his offense remember in philadelphia he had ricky waters in that role a guy he likes to feed it to 20 times a game wheelie's really turned it around since coming here from the miami actually where he was in training camp this year he's out of the game now napoleon kaufman gets the carry both these teams offensively are really similar in the way that they utilize the running backs that's napoleon kaufman he's the the change of pace back with tyrone wheatley just the way tampa bay utilizes all stock done and with napoleon kaufman and john both of them can hit the home run at any time so you beat him up in the middle with tyrone wheatley and then you try to get kaufman to the outside gain of four three receivers for the raiders five defensive backs for the bucks again [Applause] [Music] jeff was open there 17 yards on the reception and this raider offense very difficult to stop at times and we see why here they move the ball and everybody but today look at the offensive line right here especially these four guys over here mo collins and wisniewski they eat up the stun right here and pick that up well look at that nice black wall right in front of him silver and black wall allowing ganon to go down field to jet raiders with another first down from the 25 they came into this game with the fifth rank offense in the national football league napoleon kaufman the buccaneers all season long their achilles heel has been the first quarter of football games they've been outscored 79 to 31 getting off to a slow start just about every week well one thing that tony dungy said is he said that a lot of teams attack us differently than we see them attack other teams on film and one thing that he gave credit to was his defensive coordinator monty kiffin and herman edwards they're able to make adjustments and then change up and stop the offense five yards on the pickup for coughlin play action again and gets it off john richie can't hold on incomplete that time the buccaneers came with the blitz they blitzed outside linebacker sheldon quarles who came free and was able to pressure rich gannon into that short quick throw just a second at completion of this drive of this game so far for this raiders offense we talked about them being fifth in the league the buccaneer defense second in the league statistically well the raiders have three first downs on this drive they lead the national football league and average first downs per game 35 they need the 15 for the first down changes the play right now clock winding down he gets it off just in time that's complete good enough for the first down and then some tim brown into the end zone touchdown raiders [Applause] he's ageless 20 yards rich gannon to tim brown classic underneath route [Applause] dudley's slot receiver cleared things out allowed tim brown to come underneath gannon gave it to tim brown in perfect location to be able to run with it after the catch joe netanyahu for the extra point netany just signed on tuesday this is his first action of the season he's right down the middle and the crowd cheers tim brown's 20-yard reception put the raiders on top seven nothing after one possession [Music] the raiders take the first possession down the field and get it to tim brown who scores from 20 yards out they take a seven nothing lead on the buccaneers 84-yard drive nine plays in just under four minutes hey we are watching a lot of tape this week over at the raider facility they've done this to every team they just haven't been able to do it with any consistency and they've also turned the ball over at times but this is a very powerful offensive attack and one where it's hard to gang up in one area it seems like whatever you try to take away from they come at you with another thing they've also had trouble kicking field goals which is why they brought joe neddy in on tuesday replacing michael husted rital anthony back to receive for the buccaneers in his end zone we'll just go down there for a touch back buccaneers have their first possession trailing it by a touchdown when we return [Music] there's tim brown up here at the top 101 coverage with brian kelly watch the clear outs right here and allow tim brown to come underneath here on one on one cover tim brown will take that any time he can get it and again poor tackling by the buccaneer tampa bay gets their first possession from the 20. mike scott the full back a little dancing around the backfield they think the reverse the sean team set eric barton barton making his first start in the national football league his first play on defense all year and he gets a sack the buccaneers trying to come out with some some trickery right off the bat eric barton who was blitzing on the play had no time for it it looks like they're going to fake this reverse here to jacquez green who just came in front of your screen eric bart not fooled by any of it and the buccaneers in a deep hole here in the first possession they lose six yards on the sack second down from the 14-yard line two tight ends in the game dave moore in motion gets the handoff fights his way back to about the 10-yard line tim brown who scored that touchdown just continues to climb in the raider book 75th career receiving touchdown just one behind fred belindikov who is his wide receivers coach here in oakland he was freddie saw him out to practice yesterday they outlawed all the stickers you know when freddie went out of the league they said he can't put that stick him on the hands anymore i think marcus haynes had a little bit to do with that huh lester hayes excuse me marcus aims on the other side too all those old raiders have 30-20 they need to get to the 30-yard line for the first clear out of the backfield carl williams doesn't get enough for the first down smart decision by sean king there just take what the defense gave him as the raiders dropped eight in coverage that time only rushed three people didn't force the ball down there they were in a hole because of a rather strange call on first down for the bucks bucks really haven't been a team that tried to trick anybody on offense all year mark royals on for his first punt of the afternoon to darion gordon all right booming kick gordon calls for the fair catch makes it at about the 34-yard line royal with a 44-yard puck raiders with their second possession of the game leading by a touchdown nice opening drive by the raiders flags down three play tyrone wheatley dances back to the line of scrimmage but chidi ohana two the left defensive end for the buccaneers offsides yeah you're gonna get a first and five here for the raiders outside defense number 72 five yard penalty remains first down our referee today tony well you know here's here's chidi right here and the fact is is that that buccaneer defense was embarrassed on the first series he's just a little anxious to get out there and try to correct what they did on that first series so five yards on the penalty first and five now for the raiders two tight ends in whitley amount in the backfield gets the carry tyrone for the first down and then some up to the 45-yard line a gain of seven chidi ohana two on the tackle well we saw barry sims at the open barry sims right here along with robin's doing a good job on these two defensive inside they both slant to the right they just take him whatever way they want to go warren sapp stuck to barry sims that time ran right behind him tyrone wheatley three carries 32 yards nice start for him first down quick pass complete james jets rondae barber slings him down and out of bounds but gannon and this raider offense marched down the field of first possession and seems to have it going again this drive well what here's what uh gannon is looking at right here he's looking at this 12 yard cushion that rendez barber is getting jet and he's given him that cushion because that's world class b and in tampa bay the cardinals finn is don't get beat deep so they'll give it that to him underneath like that they get six yards on the first down play second and four wheatley inside might even lose a yard on the play there damian robinson and warren sapp in on the tackle that looked a little bit more like tampa bay's defense a lot of pewter hats to the ball zap this time on a wide three that means he's outside shoulder of the guard here almost over the tackle you saw mo collins trying to cut him that time that's a difficult cut block for that left tackle when warren sapp is in that gap john groom says he thinks he may be the best defensive lineman in all the national football league right now 35 for the raiders they need the 45 for the first quick pass caught terry mickens with the grab and another raider first down but ganon knows exactly where to go with this football he's really reading this buck defense real well working on donnie abraham here just a quick slam right into the hole mcgannon got into him in a perfect location it was good that he threw it that low not allowing any bucks to come in and knock that ball away the raiders came into this game with the most first downs in the afc the buccaneers giving up the fewest in all the national football league and the raiders have seven already today almost half of what the buccaneers give up for the complete game out of the backfield zach crockett spins his way out to the 34-yard line seven more yards for the raiders now this offense is clicking now they've had 10 days off since that loss to tennessee we can go on a thursday night ugandan right here look at the time he has to throw this football great catch by crockett who's more of their short yardage back but one thing john gruden was proud of in this offense is how many different people he gets involved in the offense he runs five different running backs in it well all five have been in the game already right now you've got crockett and uh make it napoleon kaufman and john richie in the backfield right now and kaufman gets the hand off and another raider first down down to the 29 yard line a gain of five kirk what the running backs have for oakland right now is what you call softness you don't see tampa bay pushing that offensive line back right now the offensive line of the raiders right now is controlling the action that's what they've been able to do much of the year and i think the big missing ingredient was that right guard spot barry sims has come in there and really solidified that right guard is pretty solid group at the moment first down from the 29 [Applause] tyrone wheatley fights his way out to the 25-yard line kind of hog-collared by john lynch who has something of a homecoming this week played his college ball at stamford john lynch is one of those guys you see john lynch is going to be coming from this side right here coming from the outside just trailing the play going to catch it from behind 47 on 47. but you know what john lynch does is he plays like the linebacker around the line of scrimmage but he also is a headhunter from the secondary two different skills there incomplete that's intended for ricky dudley the tight end [Music] yards passing well he had tim brown open right off the bat on the last play he didn't think he could get it there so he went over the middle to uh to dudley and dudley has been his target once he gets to the red zone nearly six touchdown catches the last five weeks [Music] on third down the buccaneers have yet to stop the raiders on third down this afternoon they need to get to the 19th first jim brown got there down to the 11. derek brooks on the tackle but 14 more yards on the pickup by brown they did a great job of picking up the blitz this time allowing ganon again to have time working on donnie abraham just a quick slant sticky fingers by tim brown and tim brown might be the only receiver i know in his league that doesn't wear gloves this right here is like a web he's got a bad thumb here and it's weak so he ties it to that index finger but it also gives him a web right there where that ball can kind of stick like a baseball glove it's working perfectly so far this afternoon and he takes his own finger while the trainers take his ankles he takes his fingers they get the play off first down from the 11. pass complete tim brown again down to the five that's quickly becoming the tim brown show six more yards look at the hand placement right here tim brown always has his hands up and ready in case he has press coverage and he has to fight a defensive back off right now donnie abraham having a hard time staying with tim brown and the best friend that donnie abraham could have right now would be a passing a rushing attack but because dan is getting rid of the ball so quickly no chance for a pass rush to develop brown had three catches with just over 30 yards last week three for 40 and we're still in the first quarter from the six tyrone wheatley caught in the backfield brought down derrick brooks well if tampa bay's defense is going to kick it into gear the way they've demonstrated much of the season that's the man that usually gets it started brooks having an amazing season doing everything you expect defending passes intercepted passes got four interceptions a couple of sacks has led this team in tackles nine in the 13 weeks one thing about derek brooks anytime you take a snapshot out of him anywhere on the field during a play he's always in perfect position to make the play from the eight-yard line the raiders can't get the first at the one [Applause] play clock ran out below the whistle ball batted incomplete they got a free plane there but still unable to take advantage of it [Music] you know ricky dudley is going to go up in the middle here that's who gannon wants it first he waits on him and then he tries to find wheatley he bounces off his pad lucky that ball wasn't intercepted get a deflection like that in a compressed area of the field there's a lot of buccaneer bodies around to pick that off joe nedley's first field goal attempt of the season released by the arizona cardinals earlier this year and it's right down the pike the crowd goes nuts so the raiders score with their first two possessions of the ball game they lead it 10 nothing on a 26-yard kick by messi two scores for the raiders and they leave the buccaneers 10-0 tim brown having a nice afternoon three catches meaning he's had at least two receptions in 106 consecutive games kirk that's consistency you're looking for it that's it rydel anthony brings it out of his end zone this time [Applause] and he's in trouble behind the 10-yard line finds some room though gets it out to the 15-yard line before zach crockett gets the tackle give him 20 yards on the return buccaneers trying to get something going behind the rookie sean king [Music] scores from the early games the coach clinched the afc east and the first round bye in the playoffs the bears beat the lions st louis all over the giants tennessee clutches the playoff spot by beating atlanta you saw detroit still having trouble winning on the road winning on grass baltimore stays in the afc playoff hunt miami does the same philadelphia behind corey detmer beats the patriots in jacksonville taking care of business against the bronx this team's falling at some point the ravens are climbing and the patriots will fall [Applause] first down from the 16-yard line warwick dunn stopped in the backfield eric barton at the sack of the first play last drive sean king the rookie making just his third start in the national football league the first bucks quarterback to win his first two career starts up front for him gruber doggins mayberry middleton and once the bats and receivers all start and done in the backfield of that thunder and lightning combination green and emmanuel the receivers dave moore is the tight end and the bucks were down 10 to nothing to the lions last week late in the first quarter as well gun lost the yard on the play so second at 11 king to the air incomplete bertie manuel can't pull it in the buccaneers defense standing tall so far this afternoon up front for them we talked about the two guys in the middle daryl russell and russell maryland the linebackers well you've seen eric barton making his first start in the nfl first action on defense all year has been a big contributor so far in two series then the defensive backfield charles menzies the former buck starting for eric turner who's out with a calf injury charles woodson just had a ball thrown out he went the entire tennessee game 10 days ago nobody challenged him once in that game he was a little bit bored a little bit like playing in that t-ball league playing right field and t-ball buccaneers need the 26-yard line for the first king goes that way bertie manuel reaches out pulls it in ball he's going to depend on the spot here whether or not he makes the first down he's looking short here it looks like he might be a yard or two short actually they spotted back at the 24 yard line so it's two yards short john king real comfortable taking this ball out of the shotgun that's what he did his last two years at tulane almost exclusively he gets rid of that ball quickly but bert emanuel not enough for that first down so two three and out for the bucks mark royal to darion gordon gets a return this time can't get any room outside nice open field tackle jeff gooch 43 yards on the punt minus five on the return [Music] from the 29. quick pass james jett first down knocked out of bounds by rondae barber and damian richardson 12 yards on the pickup well i'll tell you what a lot of cushion that the tampa bay bucks are giving up to these receivers a lot of it is respect for jet speed but this is just too much rich cannon getting rid of this ball quickly now right now the raiders you know brian kelly and randy barber they've got to close that gap when they're out there they're backing up and they're already 12 yards deep that's going to be the last play of the first quarter the raiders lead at 10-0 fox nfl sunday will continue after these messages and the word from your local fox station 26-yard field goal by joe netney the two scorers in the first quarter raiders lead this all-time series three games to one but the interesting note baldi is the home team has won every game so far in this young series and the raiders at home here today off to a good start of course john gruden 10 days to get ready for this game and for boy wonder that's a lot of time to tinker with the game plan first down from the 43 tyrone wheatley a gain of four damian robinson on the tackle so far this afternoon all raiders now kurt it's interesting because you know tyrone wheatley basically the same run average that he averaged in new york you look at the yards here today but he runs so much harder right now and with such a much different attitude he really does and the other thing that john gruden said about him was when he was released by miami he came out of jimmy johnson's training camp in excellent condition and he's maintained that condition to be able to take the pounding here for the 14th of the season picks up five yards again under pressure gets it off incomplete john lynch free safety bringing the heat lintz of course had the big interception last week against detroit to kind of seal that victory for the buccaneers and put them alone in first place for the first time in december since 81. well you know it's been this defense that has ignited the offense through much of the six-game winning streak it was that fourth quarter interception of lynch last week his second of the season you know that really got things started for him [Music] on third down the raiders need to get to the buccaneer 47-yard line for the first again it gets it off incomplete pass intended for his favorite guy today tim brown but brown couldn't lift it up so for the first time this afternoon the raiders go three and out well you know two drops though by the raider receivers good coverage by rodney barber a nice finish by barber but rich gannon still all kinds of time to throw this football if you give gannon time now he's going to be able to pick his spots in the passing game leo aragouz has had a rough year so far his first part of the afternoon [Music] carl williams back to receive for the bucks [Music] [Applause] takes it at his eighth out to the 16-yard line for a return of eight after the 45-yard punt calvin branch on the tackle [Music] buccaneers family get 10 nothing back to back three and out so far for them this afternoon but this is the position they're used to being in trying to come back the defensive staff getting together trying to work things out oh that's the game planning and the adjustments that those two guys have made during the six-game win streak to get him back on track mike goldstock not on track they knocked the a train off his track loses two yards grady jackson on the tackle yeah that's grady built low to the ground and not not the prettiest body not gonna win any atlas awards but low center of gravity and hard to knock off the football grady jackson right here working in the gap between middleton and mayberry that's a tough block for the center tony mayberry yeah and grady said no no no you're not coming into my gap brings up second and eleven warwick done slow moving play flags down there will be no play i think i think daryl russell prior to the snap false start number 10 offense five-yard penalty remains second down and that's on the quarterback sean king not exactly the start tony dungy wanted for him you mentioned how he wanted to try and get out to a lead and kind of shorten things for him in this game but nothing going in the first quarter the buck's identity is to run the football we sit at the open those guys in the middle jackson and daryl russell russell merrill and her job was to shut down the run look at the type of possession it's just total domination here right now tampa bay's had two drives and they've had two three and outs two strikeouts and it seems like they've been in the end zone the entire day sean king forced to call a timeout [Applause] and that crowd in the back there the rookies first game on the road as a starter off to a rough start with that raider crowd in the back of the end zone tough for the rookie to hear he's coming his ears there because he's got a little audio thing in his helmet where he can hear clyde christmas in his coat [Applause] force them in to call in a timeout just to get the play in [Applause] one of those things that you can't practice at home you have to deal with on the road and it's there's sean trying to echo the signal for all of his skilled guys mike alstox tries to get him a little bit of room up to about the 17-yard line or excuse me the 12-yard line no kurt when sean king changes the play and he audibles then the center on the offensive line tony mayberry has to echo all the changes but he's getting it to middleton middleton then we'll get it to jerry once so communication is hard for everybody the result is a very small gain for mike alston that's why they call it home field advantage bucks need to get up to about the 26-yard line for the first out of the shotgun king complete to carl williams and williams going to be close to the first down marker knocked out of bounds about a yard short of it by eric allen yeah sean king's not happy hey you gotta when you're on the road and you're down 10 to nothing you've got to fight for the sticks [Applause] harl williams had a chance to go for the sticks on the outside here [Music] the injured quarterback trying to play officials mark royals with the punt to darien gordon nice kick gets it back to the 25 and pins it on the sideline as well makes it easy for the defense front coverage knocks him out of bounds kevin smith 50 yards on the punt only eight on the return raiders taking over up by 10. [Music] don king tony dungy trying to figure out what's wrong with their offense right now raiders taking over first down from the 32. tyrone wheatley piles his way into the crowd chidi ohana two on the tackle [Music] the playoff picture in the nfc the rams by beating the giants today clench the division and get home field throughout the playoffs and that's huge for them especially a team as young as them not having to go on the road in the postseason i i'm looking at on the outside you know coming in right here is these panthers pretty easy schedule you know got the saints the last game of the season got pittsburgh team that could be coming up on the outside nobody's talking about it rich gannon pass complete to john richie to full back brought down by donnie abraham here's the afc playoff picture we mentioned earlier about the clinching victories today tennessee titans get in by winning today and the indianapolis colts by winning today not only get into the playoffs but win their division well that afc picture it changes drastically every week just three weeks ago the seattle seahawks and the miami dolphins at eight and two looked like they were going to be shoeins both of them struggling down the stretch third down raiders need to cross the 42 for the first tim brown gets it across the 45-yard line another raider first down their 11th of the game eight yards on the play well i tell you the raiders are lucky to have tim brown in their christmas stocking this year always tell tim brown because his hands are always up ready for action you know just the veteran guys knows where the hole is in the scene knows how to get down escape that sandwich hit right there knows how to avoid the big collisions one of the reasons why he's preserved here in his 12th year first down for the raiders from the 45 tyrone wheatley picks up two yards looking at that afc playoff pitcher once again the tyrone wheatley slow to get up and tyrone who's been healthy all season long there you go there you see the jaguars coats titans already in the playoffs where's that afc west right now still up for grabs you know what a year that the colts have had and continue to have there are those raiders as we said need to win all three of their games and some help the patriots with a big loss today and the ravens seem to be coming on here towards the end of the season tyrone wheatley found his full back john richie into the hole and look like that was just quarrels going low on tyrone wheat lean hip yeah you know wheatley his agent says that he's agreed to a new three-year contract here in oakland came in for just above the minimum after being traded for a seventh-round pick by the giants to miami in the off-season and then released by the dolphins in the preseason raiders feel lucky to get them they they auditioned about eight different running backs in pre-season completely ended up sticking past batted down at the line of scrimmage marcus jones gets a hand in there john's of course starting today because of the injury to steve white he was a former number one draft pick in 1996 and really the last half of this season so far has really come on five and a half sacks yeah he's coming on right here at the right end spot working on mo collins they're gonna set up a screen a play that they had a lot of effectiveness with against tennessee going to the napoleon kaufman nice job by marcus jones to get the big paws up and when you're six foot six those bars uh get up a little bit easier in the quarterback's face third down raiders need to get to the bus 45 for the first they call a timeout rich gannon not liking what he sees so each team has used a timeout here in the first half greater still hit him the most tender places by a helmet so needs to go on the sideline and try and regroup as they say players don't wear cups anymore it's it's too uncomfortable you know and hey it's uncomfortable when you get hit without one though yeah more uncomfortable mate for the raiders crockett incomplete bounces off the shoulder pads of zach crockett that's the second time that he's hit one of his backs out of the backfield right in the shoulder pads and it's bounced off but you know the buccaneer showed blitz that time you're going to see showing blitz and then backing back out in forcing gannon to audible on the play look like they're coming now they back out ganon changes the play he goes to his hot read here perfect throw to the back and drop pass aragoon's in for his second punch paul williams calls for the fair catch makes it at the 17-yard line 36 yards on the punch the last huge time these two teams got together back in november of 96 tony dungy's first year as head coach in tampa eric red squared the five yard touchdown harvey williams on a half back option 18 yards to james jett but with eight seconds left in regulation cole ford this is a 38-yard field goal attempt set it to overtime michael houston hits a 23-yarder with 304 remaining the buccaneers with the exciting 20-17 win over the raiders their only win in four games against the oakland and los angeles raiders sean king on first down by some time gets it off to mike alstott all stock runs a circle and gets it out to the 20-yard line for a gain of four eric barton on the tackle now very ineffective the first three series for sean king here you know all three and outs all three strikeouts and look at the field position no field position whatsoever and again inside the 20 here know the raiders right now moving that football you know when they're not no scoring with their drives they're able to pin the buccaneers down with good special teams play after the four yard pickup second and six king pass complete out of the backfield warwick dunn and that's the buccaneers first first down of the afternoon now one of the things that has to take place for sean king to execute this offense is good pass protection right here frank middleton working on the pro bowler dow russell one-on-one nice protection by middleton right square in front of russell russell never gets his hands up sean king able to execute the first first down of the day for the buccaneers middleton that offensive line seems to be protecting a lot better than they did on those first two series after the 11 yard play from the 33. king with time done out of the backfield again races out to the 43-yard line for a gain of 10. going to be close to the first down marker now the key seems to be that offensive line in the way they are playing this series as opposed to the first three series well that's true right now and i think that ward done right here in the backfield is going to slip out into the flat work who had his best day receiving of the year last week six catches over 100 yards he's been nicked up most of you had a bad ankle didn't play two weeks ago on monday night against minnesota he said he went back and watched high school and college films of himself to show how he was able to make the big plays and he's trying to get that into this offense now he's out of the game also deep in the eye behind patrick hate gets the carry picks up about a yard [Music] daryl russell on the tackle one of the things that tampa bay is is slow to do every week one reason why they get off to a slow start is they have to get both all start and done warmed up you know so one guy goes in there all stock gets a carry now no he's going to carry that pile a lot of hidden yardage right there with michael alstott there'll go back and forth seeing which guy is going to be the hot guy and it takes him about a quarter and a half to do that all start all alone in the backfield now on second and eight [Applause] still got a lot of time what a job by that line and he scrambles gets the first down and steps out of bounds roderick coleman chases him out but what play by the buccaneers offensive line and what a poor job by the wide receivers of not reacting to what was happening in the backfield these guys just jacquez green just continues to run down the field never adjust his pattern here and there's bert emanuel i mean they see that sean king is in trouble now they don't really come back to the ball it had to be eight nine ten seconds there for king sean knows where the sticks are faced with a tough third down tron king picks up five yards so it's third down three look at the time again incomplete to allstott that may have been tipped at the line yeah roderick coleman the rookie this time gets some pressure on him jacquez greene working on the pro bowl charles woodson well jacquez green there isn't running i mean right there you know you got to grab jack quest by the face mask and shake him up because unless you press charles woodson down the field he's going to know what to route and when you're on and when you're not [Applause] [Music] mark royale's on for his fourth part of the day i think on your routes when you know you're going to get the ball yeah royals has been the busiest man for the buck so far short punt get the buccaneer roll down to the 11 yard line is down there seven smith 36 yards on the punt by royals aerial shots today is provided by the goodyear eagle one of the global fleet of six goodyear blimps that will be electronically linked together on new year's eve to record the arrival of the new century all around the world where are you going to be new year's eve baldi i'm going to be right in charlotte north carolina we're doing the uh carolina panthers you know what could be a big potential fight for a playoff spot for them very much so they end up nine and seven you know it's going to come down to probably a tiebreaker to see if they can get internet congratulations to george c for the job he's doing up there nice job by derrick brooks in the open field there bringing down napoleon kaufman talked about derrick brooks and you know just how steady he's playing see him right here look at the eyes now he's always in great position to make a play he plays right behind warren sapp most of the time and that's one of the reasons why you don't see anybody blocking i mean warren sapp does a great job of tying up two blockers in the running game allowing brooks just to roam free but most of times you'll see brooks stacked right behind sack brings coffman down for a yard loss second at 11. again to kaufman out of the backfield there's derrick brooks again and you can feel this defense right now kurt kind of stepping it up you know taking tim brown out of it right now in the last two series and what you've seen during this six game win streak of the bucks is that the defense has ignited this team derek brooks right here going to be working now in pass coverage working on his own right now and able to react once the kaufman gets the ball and that's a tough open field tackle for napoleon copper that's a slippery guy in the open field third and ten they need the 22-yard line for the first over the middle incomplete terry mickens can't pull it in another receiver drops another ball and that's been the only thing that stopped the raiders offense this afternoon they're stopping themselves derek brooks in coverage now we've seen him in the run game watch him get to his own now now now react that's a fourth drop of the day by the raiders yeah he'd already dropped that ball before brooks got there again got the ball to the open man raiders right now with some slippery fingers arrogance to carl williams from his 36. he's a block he got it he got a block gets it out near midfield brought down by kenny shed carl william about a play away from breaking that one all the way 51 yards on the punt 12 yards on the return you know with the win here today kirk tampa bay clinches that nfc central and then they've got the playoff spot they clinch a playoff spot what they're trying to clinch is trying to clinch a first-round bot win at central and maybe them and st louis also get that first round bye that's what they would hope for and they've got a chance their best field position of the day starting from their own 48. allstott deep in the eye gets the handoff ball is out picked up charles woodson excuse me [Applause] sean king makes the tackle but another fumble by mike olstad who has had that trouble for two years alstott led all nine quarterbacks last year in fumbles leads them this year but one of the problems with mike alstott is it's so hard to bring him down he's always pushing the pile to get a lot of arms in their gravel against kansas city [Applause] about a month ago he fumbled three times in this game one real critical one late in the fourth quarter when they could have put the game on ice and since then he hasn't fumbled been very careful with the football the last month three bubbles then one today crossed it up gives the raiders the ball at the 30. tyrone wheatley across the 20. tyrone wheatley goes all the way for the score 30 yards on the run by tyrone wheatley wheatley showing power and speed for big man and charles woodson got it started with the fumble recovery woodson who went out with when he got hit in that private area a couple series ago looks like he fully recovered from that don't net me on for the extra point he gets it and the raiders take a 17-nothing lead mike offscots sixth fumble of the year the biggest play in this short drive he turns it over woodson with a nice return and then tyrone wheatley runs it in from 30 yards out so one of the problems with mike alstott with him fumbling is it's so hard to bring him down when he's carrying that pile and pushing it a lot of arms are able to get in and strip that ball away i couldn't tell who's who did it i thought it was uh harvey at the bottom of that pile that's the run back that's set up on the first play the tyrone wheatley run excellent block by the right guard barry sims taking john lynch out of the play and giving him the cut back lane to wheatley [Applause] [Music] you mentioned allstott leads all nine quarterbacks in fumbles this year he led him last year as well had only five all last season and led all nine quarterbacks this year he's got six and that's something that the oakland raiders were aware of this week and practiced stripping the ball away from mike alston now what tony dunchy said was you know i don't want him to change his aggressiveness i want him to run the way he's always run but right now with six fumbles you know something has to change in the way he's carrying the football the way he's tucking it away he's trying to scrap for those extra yards the ball is out away from his body and that's when guys are able to get their hands in there bethany with the kickoff reed l anthony up the sideline and knocked out of bounds jermaine williams with the tackle tyrone wheatley's resurgence continues here in oakland he's on his way to 100 yards here in the first half kirk 10 carries for 70 yards and a touchdown and you know when you are able to get that turnover and capitalize immediately you get both sides of the ball the offense and the defense both of them get jacked up the fans get jacked up you know and you're able to put more pressure you know on the opposition toughest situation that sean king has been in since being named the start in a 17-nothing hole with 3 42 to play here in the first half all-star deep in the eye again gets the carry hitting the back field grady jackson [Applause] well you know the first thing you do when a guy fumbles the ball is give it right back to him make sure that his confidence isn't shattered patrick cape here with the lead block that's grady jackson coming in for russell merrill and and quick to the ball and the raiders just look quicker than the bucks do right now he came right behind the choke block of tony mayberry beating him to the punch and taking that inside running again away from the bucks all scott loses four yards he's alone in the backfield flags down [Applause] false start offense number 74. five yard penalty remains second down that's the 12 year man paul gruber gruber over here at the left tackle very difficult to hear that signal going from king to him in this noise and on the road and that's part of what all visiting teams have to deal with in these stadiums when the bells start ringing here in oakland the fans are crazy for second and 19 now king throws it high warrant done can't pull it in incomplete illustrator defense kurt we saw him uh you know against tennessee 10 days ago and they pitched a shutout against tennessee in the first half of that game zero at halftime 0-0 at halftime three opportunities to score in that first half the missed field goals and the fumble by by gannon but this defense at times has been dominant this season what happened to him against tennessee was they played four games in 18 days and they just physically got worn down and tired but they look very fresh and a lot of bouncing of step right here in this game third down for the buccaneers they need the 33-yard line for the first sean king out of the shotgun gets it off walling down out of the backfield after the 24 yard line again and 10 gonna be far short of what's needed for the first and the other thing this raider team is doing today is they're tackling well they had over 20 missed tackles against uh the titans 10 days ago today very good in the open field bringing down these bucks and the coaching staff said they missed about 23 tackles most of those in the second half oh yeah willie shaw was embarrassed the defensive coordinator darian gordon back to take the punt lets it bounce takes a raider hop the raiders gonna start with excellent field position once again only 36 yards on the punt by royals takes us to the two-minute warning raiders on top 17 nothings tampa bay buccaneers trailing at 17 nothing just under two minutes left here in the first half [Music] mike alstott feeling pretty bad right now his fumble leading to the last touchdown by the raiders and all he's thinking about right now is i need another opportunity to go out on that field and make the play and make up for oakland first down from the 41. ganon in trouble gets it off incomplete what he's not south side yeah that's the question the raiders are of the excuse me the buccaneers are arguing that he was not outside the tackle box well brad culpepper had him no culpepper's going to be coming here he's going to get him around his waist right now [Music] when he has him in his grasp but it looks like he's inside that tight end box [Music] and gaming just threw that ball and got rid of it which should have been a flat it's called an incompletion this one's not tyron wheatley grabbed it at the line of scrimmage maybe a yard pick up donnie abraham on the tackle clock continues to run i'm impressed by rich gannon i've been impressed by him all season and watching him out here today really you know the best best year of his career but he said you know it doesn't make any difference we're six and seven you know we're on the cusp of being eliminated from the playoffs he's had teams in kansas city and minnesota to go to the playoffs where he didn't perform as well individually statistically at least they need to get to the buccaneer 49 for the first in the grass brought down by warren sapp chris warren sapped his 12th and a half sack of the season that's a new career high for him he just keeps extending it the defense is not able to make very many plays watch him work on the outside here of steve wisniewski doesn't get any help from mo collins that time force the pressure [Music] that was the best series that this buck defense had all afternoon 115 left to play here in the first half raiders on top 17 nothing leo arrogance set to punch [Music] paul williams their feet flying all over the place i saw more feet upside down on that one than at a gymnastics competition looks like greg baker on the tackle 36 yards on the punt wins returned it for nine but there are flags down and i see paul gruber walking back for the huddle going against tampa bay here again for the hands against the buccaneers well again the bucks starting in poor field position during the return of the kick illegal block in the back above the waist number 58 10 yard penalty first down penalty called on don davis the defensive tackles this afternoon cult pepper and sap number one in the league as far as sacks go maryland and russell look at that they hit a third yeah they sit right next to each other on the bench they're inseparable paul pepper is the lawyer he's he's the one that calls the signals king out of the shotgun warrick dunn car from behind look at daryl russell get back to make that play after rushing the passer circling back using his speed and getting in on the tackle [Music] can't gonna work out of the shotgun clock continues to wind down pass complete caught by carl williams good enough for a buccaneer first down bucks call timeout greg beaker with the tackle but that's just the third first down of the day for the buccaneers sean will go over and talk to the quarterback coach new quarterback coach this year clyde christensen we spoke with him yesterday he was just named to that position this offseason kind of caught him by surprise with mike schuller along with tony dungy said look we know that we're going to draft the quarterback and we know we're going to release steve walsh and bring a new quarterback here so it's two new quarterbacks you know we need a guy to work with him each and every day at practice in the meetings christensen already on the staff last year as a tight ends coach and of course you know clyde got to know sean king along with this entire staff at the senior bowl last year where the tampa bay staff coached the south side and he said you know what a world of difference was coaching that and being around sean king and martine gramatica and anthony mcfarland guys they ended up drafting after watching them day in day out at practice in meetings and they were impressed by what they saw and they ended up drafting accordingly well king is the man right now first down from the 38th raiders still trying to shift their defense into position when the bucks get the play off carl williams makes the grab they're going to kill this right here they got to kill this ball sean king's not going to kill he's calling a play and he's burning a lot of seconds right now doing it and they gained nine yards on the play king to the sideline riedel anthony out of bounds no catch nice decision though by sean king to go to the sidelines where he was gonna have a chance at least to get out of bounds and stop the clock ball's a little bit high here gets his right foot in left foot couldn't drag it yeah a little too far let's get that [Music] i don't know if the tip of that left maybe got dragged the replay is is decided by the officials in the booth in the last two minutes to be tapped that left toe might have touched the grass right it looks like it maybe did might have dragged but they don't call it king under 10 seconds to play pass got it down incomplete charles woodson lance johnstone had the pressure on but woodson making an excellent play run another play now so this play really doesn't matter no but they can't change it it's good angle right here that's hard to tell very diff maybe a blade maybe a blade that wasn't cut touch the shoe i don't know if that would have been indisputable evidence even if they did review it nevertheless tampa bay down to their last play here the first half see a hail mary formation on the left three receivers up top over the middle little pass he's got hook and ladder well it's done down to the 13-yard line by charles woodson but a little razzle dazzle from the box they complete the pass to jacquez green and he dumps it off to warwick dunn couldn't get it done [Applause] we're in oakland kurt menifee and brian baldinger with you as the raiders lead at 17 nothing and you look at this the buccaneers all they had to do was win this game and they're in the playoffs oakland's making it awfully tough for them to get this victory well i think that's the secret right there kirk all they had to do that's a lot in this league to go on the road and win and the raiders you know they have that outside shot for the playoffs you know they're playing like they're playing like they should be in the playoffs well their defense is really dominated this afternoon in the first half not allowing really the buccaneers to get anything going offensively period from the start well mike wallston has run five times he has no yards and a fumble those two defensive tackles inside maryland and daryl russell they're controlling that line of scrimmage near the one turnover returned by charles woodson you know followed up the next play by tyrone wheatley's touchdown run and the raiders defensive dominance shown on the scoreboard the buccaneers 89 total yards in the first half 40 of that on that hook and ladder right before halftime the last play but you know you look at that rushing yardage the buccaneers and that's their identity that's what they want to do is run the football well down 17 to nothing with 30 minutes to go this ball is going to be in sean king's hands they're going to win or lose it with sean and it's going to be up to that raider defense if they can apply the same pressure to prevent that from happening our brian weber had a chance to talk with buccaneers head coach tony dungy during the break tony your team has rallied all year long what's it going to take to come back this afternoon well we're going to have to play good football in the second half and mount some drives we haven't got much going offensively just four offensive first downs how do you hope to get more production in the second half we got to be better on first down got to get our running game going on first down i think we still have time to run the football thanks for your time well tony dungy hoping that sean king can get something going he says he thinks they still have time to run the football but sean king passing the ball 37 times last week he would think down 17 nothing he'd be in that neighborhood again with the second half this week well you saw you know how many times he's attempted that pass in the shotgun very comfortable in the shotgun that's the offense he ran at two lane and last week really they couldn't get the running game going against the lions as well they put it in sean's hands to throw it and that's how they won the game rita anthony takes the short kickoff from the four [Applause] out across the 30-yard line flags are down anthony's down at the 35 brought down by trevian smith let's see what the penalty flags are that's going to come back again going to pin the bucks again in a situation long long field team number 50 10 yard penalty first down penalty called on jeff gooch go marciano the special teams coach asking him what are you doing yeah you know you go into the locker room at halftime and you try to make some corrections and some adjustments you get your your mental psyche all up for the second half to come out and then you know you push a guy in the back to start the second half that's not what you want sean king just one of five passing in the first half for zero yards and he starts in the shotgun here that one's complete jacquez green you know one thing that the shotgun can do for a quarterback you know you basically you're committing to the pass all start even it's kind of a funny looking wide receiver on charles woodson woodson hopes he doesn't get that ball trying to confuse him maybe huh they're going to spread this field five wide receivers are going to let sean you know pick his spots here one thing the shotgun can do is it allows the quarterback to get into a good riddle the game's seven yards or done deep in the eye 25 about the 27-yard line for a gain of six one thing about this raider defense in that first half you know they weren't on the field very much so they've got to be fresh here in the second half work done to mike alstott all-star good lead blocking done trying to find that big play capability he demonstrated his first two years in this league last week with the 68-yard screen pass that set up a touchdown first rushing first down of the day for the buccaneers ball comes up and he's picked up lance johnstone takes it into the end zone for the raider touchdown [Applause] for the second week in a row sean king has the ball pop out on him before he even throws the pass yeah and kurt you know we talked to him yesterday he's got small hands and he admits it this ball you're going to see a blitz right now of eric barton it gets picked up by allstott sean king right here the same thing that happened to him last week on fourth and one went to throw that ball and the ball just slipped right out of his hands nobody hit that ball there wasn't pressure on him two weeks in a row now carroll's with the football gardeneth for the extra point [Applause] he gets it and without an offensive possession the raiders extend their lead to 24-0 12 yards on the fumble recovery for the score early in the third quarter oakland on top 24-nothing of tampa bay fumble by sean king led to the 12-yard fumble return for the touchdown by lance johnstone the second defensive touchdown of the season for the raiders back for the kickoff he bottles it then free at the 20-yard line brought down at the 23 by calvin branch 14 yards in return king gets another shot sean king in his first start on the road having a rough start to it early in the third quarter down 24 nothing last time he touched the ball it led to a raider touchdown well uncharted territory for sean king we'll see how he reacts under this type of pressure on the road hostile environment he's known for his cool calm demeanor he'll need it to bring her buccaneers back in this one from the 23 two tight ends in mike alstom he fumbled in the first half led to another raiders score gets the carry charles minsey the former buccaneer with the tackle we mentioned last time he touched the ball you go back to last week against detroit same thing happened well this is what uh john madden was saying last week that he had small hands we asked him about it and he said yeah i do and here it is two weeks in a row now this ball just slips right out of his hand no man it can't be sweaty it's basically the first series in the second half nothing on that football giant uh and lance johnstone will take it back and return his third fumble for touchdown in his career got a measurement here on the uh carry by allstott good enough for the first down he gained 10 yards but you know that was kind of the knock against sean king the reason he lasted to the second round he measured at the combine just below six feet small hands people ignored some of the things he did in college and looked at the things he couldn't do and that was one of them well i saw him probably play six or seven games at tulane when he was in college i never saw that happen to him never saw the ball just slip out of his hands in fact his senior year he played nine games with a broken left wrist buccaneers get the first down king to the air ball kicked flags down as well but james harris got a hand on that ball at the line of scrimmage tony carrente the referee discussing things with his crew against the bucks here offensive pass interference that's the sixth penalty of the day against tampa bay versus none for the raiders but they're looking at dave moore the tight end john gruden wants to take this penalty and back him up past interference offense number 83 10-yard penalty repeat first down dave moore fighting to try and become part of the passing game and he's right over here picks it for the underneath receiver to come free florida manuel i don't know if that was an intentional pick i think he's kind of i think he's just trying to clear things out you get that big body it's hard to move it out of the way sometimes throw it to first and 20 for the bucks warrant done they decide to keep running it gets it out to the 24 24-yard line for a gain of one i see russell maryland getting up off the pile part of those dallas cowboys super bowl team has been out here now for about three years and still hasn't an all-effort guy watching him in practice russell maryland will make plays down on the ground he forced the fumble on on allstott in the second quarter and i think daryl russell his partner next to him has learned a lot from how to prepare for a football game and what it takes to be a professor boy they have just stopped the running game of the buck so far today all-star spread out at the bottom of the screen tipped once again at the lineup scrimmage once again james harris and once again kurt you're seeing some of the flaws maybe in sean king that you don't see at home with that crowd behind you and the defense playing great you know here's harris over here working against jerry wanch there's just fanning that protection to that side working on frank middleton and sean king under six feet tall second block pass in this drive and harris is six six played college basketball for a year at temple now with both those temple defense events playing well out here today john stone and harris both and when would you ever think of that two temporal defensive ends starting for professional football team he wouldn't take a tempo for football flags down they need the 43 for the first play clock ran out before the ball got snapped gonna be a delay of game delay of game offense five yard penalty remains third down well kurt one of the things here you know this week a lot of frustration on the outside you see frank middleton going at it with lance johnstone there kind of like a wild haymaker this buccaneer team just came off winning two big emotional games on a monday night and then following that last sunday with a big second half comeback you see a letdown going on here today they've got four receivers out on this one king by some time gets it off pass almost intercepted intended for carl williams but there's charles minsey the former buck trying to make his team pay charles started 16 games for the bucks last year they're real familiar with this offense and with these receivers you see double coverage here with beaker down down the middle carl williams though right here needs to get that ball earlier buccaneers now over seven on third down attempts today mark royals to darion gordon from his 41. across midfield still on his feet finally brought down al singleton with the tackle 39 yards on the punt a 12-yard return by gordon and the raiders take over it's beginning to look a lot like christmas in oakland you know that's how he longs jersey right there number 75 ward proudly here for a lot of years and he's got his neck collar how he always had that neck collar he adjusted after every play but this guy right here he's got a friend with him too did he have to pay for a ticket for that guy i don't know [Applause] the fans are loyal here tyrone wheatley here plenty to be happy about a 12-yard gain he's favored that right side all day had the touchdown run of 30 yards over the right side that's lincoln kennedy and barry sims over there i mean wheatley hasn't been touched until he gets to the line of scrimmage now you see where he's running here today nothing to the left a lot of action over to the right and then down the middle those are the first half numbers had 70 yards 12 yards in his first carry here in the second half 11 carries 82 total for weekly rich daddy pass complete james jett now they're mixing it up good tampa bay corners play soft and by that i mean they play off eight to ten yards off and gannon is seeing that he's getting rid of the ball real quickly he also takes a good arm to get it out there baby see all those buddies they autograph that shield too that's all that's all autographed and signature all his buddies are all the players only the same people [Applause] back to the five-yard pass to get tyrone wheatley gets it again [Applause] hey you know what kirk he said not all my runs go to the right or to the middle i'll change up i'll show those fox guys in that graphic what i can do i'll bounce it to the left soon as we give away a secret huh yeah give john richie the fullback a lot of credit wheatley just stiff-arming donny abraham that time damian robinson forced to push him out after another first down 13 more yards for wheatley check out tim brown oh nice seal nice seal on the headhunter john lynch no gap controlled by the buccaneer defense first down from the 23 napoleon kaufman bounces off a couple of guys [Applause] shelton quarrels with the tackle i tell you kurt a good young player on this raider team that's really come on great pass receiver is the fullback john richie he's doing a good job in space of finding the man he's responsible for which isn't easy on the run last time led napoleon kaufman right into the hole guy that transferred from michigan he went to school out here at stanford he's one of those raiders up you know a little loopy a little off the wall [Music] eight grass off offered jimmy hendrix great hey napoleon kaufman digging deep into the end zone touchdown raiders 17 yards who's john richard what'd you say eight grass off of jimmy henderson's tomb there it is right on hardy nickerson the middle linebacker already nowhere near that play because of the lead block nice job of gathering himself and sealing him you don't have to win you don't have to crush guys and melt guys in a hole you just have to stalemate and that's what richie did go netany for another extra point [Music] and it's good napoleon kaufman's first touchdown of the season gives the raiders a 31-nothing lead making their coach a happy guy baldi i think these fans got their holidays confused out here oh no every sunday is halloween here napoleon kaufman giving them a halloween treat or christmas present whichever one you want to use his first touchdown of the season puts him up 31-00 what a one-two punch they have with wheatley and kaufman [Applause] rital anthony back in there [Applause] nowhere to run zach crockett gets it right at the 20-yard line we'll take a look at 49 yards in the scoring drive 17 of them on kaufman on that touchdown and here it is look at lincoln kennedy here and dudley dudley's going to seal and watch the big man kennedy just cave in this side opening up the alleyway for kauffman boom now here's the alley but this has got to be the tackle poor job by randy barber coming up into that gap there it is the full motion here is coffin makes everybody miss and now running untouched that's because they did their job at the line of scrimmage the pits to warrant done on first down caught in the backfield for a loss chuck osborne another one of those nfl europe guys yeah well a lot of splash that's right barry sims and chuck osborne both played you know over there in europe and osborne's a guy that you know has come on here a guy that they can play at end and tackle and anytime you see chuck he always has his game face on he could be one of those zany's in the stands yeah he's a he's a raider he's born to be a race yeah he's a raider all the way hey now he was doing sticker commercials in the off season down in hollywood that wasn't enough i mean he wants to do like road warrior stuff he slipped the tackle gets rid of it flag thrown down as well eric barton made it grab his face mask when he went by [Applause] that personal foul went for that face match here to see sean king he's trying to listen to the play right now actually adjusted his helmet and face mask after it got almost ripped off personal foul defense illegal contact with face mask of the quarterback 15-yard penalty automatic first down that's the first penalty of the afternoon against the raiders raiders have really cut down on their penalties and give the credit to john gruden you're going to see eric barton coming in making his first start grabbing that face mask right there watch sean king adjust it though just kind of calmly takes his left hand gets it right and throws the ball away down by 31 maybe they need a little help to get things going again they need a lot of help after the penalty out to the 33. [Applause] doc west green in motion [Applause] won a gun nowhere to run brought down by eric barton think that kid is making a name for himself today he might have been on this is the first time he's played defense all year only been playing special teams rookie out of maryland and you know they've had trouble at the weak side linebacker position they started with kd williams another nfl europe player and then last week they played sam sword the last few weeks and they didn't like what they were getting there they moved richard harvey to strong side and eric barton now making his name at the weak side linebacker position and that's what you want at that position a guy that can freelance and in the open field make a lot of plays another two yard loss king towards caught from behind grady jackson the big man yeah making the big tackle out in space well this was the buck's best play a week ago just at screen right and the raiders who watched it on film all week i'm sure jumped that right away [Applause] done a little slow to get up keep in mind he's got a bad left ankle that he hurt missed the monday night game last week oh here's the fight pendleton is going to lead the screen but the raiders jump on us brady jackson from behind here he wobbles down the line he wobbles pretty good though yeah but he's like he's like a weeble he wobbles but he doesn't fall down but he weebles and he wobbles you remember those toys yeah you know sevens wobbles but they don't fall down you know the last time the bucks won a division title if you looked underneath your christmas tree there was weeble wobbles and rock and soccer robots and i tell you sean king had one of those he was only four years old the last time the bucks won a division championship back in 1981 [Music] he could knock the wind out of it the bucket is trying to get some wind in their sails right now on third and 13. and this greater crowd doesn't want any part of it they're on their feet this is the last home game of the year for the raiders they need to cross the 42 for the first pass battled into the air intercepted charles memphis the x-buck we talked about the x-block wanting to make some noise against this team gets the start and gets his second interception of the year and these raider fans they don't want to sit down they haven't had an easy victory all year except for a 28-9 win against san diego they're winning in every department the special teams the penalties to turnovers charles vinci out here playing center field on the play ball's thrown behind carl williams charles mincy just having a tip drill with him i can throw the ball to yourself in the backyard you throw an interception in the league you got to have eyes all over the place people are coming after you yeah that's the raider osborne it's a race to the quarterback tyrone wheatley with the carry the raiders the third quarter has been there this year outscoring opponents 127 to 64. nearly 2-1 and they've capitalized on both turnovers today and turn them into touchdowns as well you know they've played good football for you know periods of every game this season their problem is finishing games kurt they've lost four fourth quarters you know where they were leading going to the fourth quarter and then they let the league slip away the finishing has been the problem for the raiders nobody covering ricky dudley right now down here nobody on it jeremy brigham the other tight out in the backfield blocking for wheatley they faked the handoff going to ricky dudley fights his way all the way down the 22-yard line you called it baldi yeah nobody lined up on dudley they were slow to get over there well and this is a star waiting to happen he hasn't figured it out quite yet he runs like a wide receiver but as big as an offensive tackle well that's a nice sign for for dudley for john gruden and rich ganeck to catch the ball between two defenders and heavy traffic squeeze it look it in and take it on 15 yards on the completion [Applause] give the raiders a first down from the 22. [Music] tyrone wheatley slips the tackle of john lynch across the 20 down to the 18 for a gain of four i'm watching john gruden and rich gannon talking to each other again it came over and those guys have built a real quick rapport with one another now john really believes in rich they got rid of jeff george last year brought rich gannon in and rich gannon said you know i'm really comfortable in this offense i ran something really similar in kansas city for four years so it's like my fifth year in this offense and they're really communicating well and executing better than they have all season here today doing fine in the red zone two possessions a touchdown on a field goal they're back in it not that tall incomplete that's his target in the red zone you know ganon has thrown coming in today 19 touchdown passes 18 of them in this area of the field in the red zone you see dudley right here spread out just a little bit he's got chidi a haunted two on him you see that the defensive end dropped to try to cover ricky dudley in coverage the big guy on big guy well a big guy that can run who is just a big guy and that's it i don't want to short change stevia hot into he can run he can rush the quarter quarterback but he's not used to pass cover third and five they need the 12-yard line for the first the pitch through it holy and kaufman the big link got him kennedy in front of him gets it inside the 10-yard line down to the six 11 yards on the run by kaufman in a big block by the big man kennedy the right tackle that's bigfoot out here lincoln kennedy the biggest man on the field today getting out and leading the charge and once you get that weight going donnie abraham can't see around hey lincoln kennedy's got some moves this is friday night at the paramount theater here this is the nutcracker suite that's lincoln kennedy guess which one he is yeah when i heard lincoln kennedy here was going to be in the ballet i just wanted to see the slippers he was going to wear birthday goal tyrone wheatley sorry about that inside the five down to the three-yard line he's got some of the biggest you know bob lemire you know always was recognized as having the biggest set of feet inside size 22. but lincoln kennedy i looked down at those feet the other day they've got to be in 18. i don't know how you find ballet slippers for them i said you know where do they find an outfit for the nutcracker before he goes nah i'm in sweatpants and tennis shoes he goes they got no shot outfitting me on that stuff those big feet he uses him for balance that's all he's doing the big man has found a home at right tackle here in oakland and had a real good season over there second and goal from the three-yard line tyrone wheatley fights his way into the end zone for another raider touchdown tyrone wheatley's second rushing touchdown of the day the buccaneers highest point out point of the season and they go on top 37 nothing pinning the extra point tyrone wheatley crosses the 100-yard mark and the bucks look like the raiders did in the second half against tennessee ten days ago when eddie george ran for 199 yards that night against joe nebney's extra point flags are down look on tony dungy's face says it all just one of those days gonna be holding against the raiders holding kicking team number 40. 10 yard penalty replay the try that's john wick richie there on the uh on the wing probably just horse collar somebody coming in off the edge a difficult block sometimes out there john john's got that stout back though that smile left his face real quick he's up 37-0 that look looks like the nothing side coaches don't like penalties no matter what the score is we're not tolerated [Applause] the equivalent of about a 29-yard field goal here counts as the extra point puts the raiders on top 38 nothing first time since november of 1997 oakland has put 38 points on the board i talked about barry sims at the outset of this telecast here today here he is working on warren sapp on this touchdown run [Applause] that's a 101 block here taking sep right to the ground laying on top of him and no chance on a one-armed tackle here against tyrone wheatley look at this look at the raiders just moving bodies right now barry sims has been a great story for the raiders they were trying to find a left tackle this year they they drafted matt stinchkum out of george in the first round mo collins a former number one pick of florida both guys were injured barry sims went over to play left tackle at buffalo against bruce smith and held his own played great they said okay then they had trouble at right guard kirk you know gennaro didn't happily got hurt you know and daryl ashmore was injured they said we need the right guard and then he found barry simms and he put him in right guard and there he is taking on warren sapp today and holding his own out of football yeah for a while back and play with the scottish claymores and beg someone to give him a job he was hurt in the 1997 a senior bowl and he didn't play in 1998 or really until this year and spring in europe we've played the 10 year 10 games over there the skull patrol what do you got to do to be part of the skull patrol i think you just got to live this guy right here is in the skull patrol he looks like he's nine you know it's a genetic thing you start them out young joe neddy with the kickoff rabbi abdullah about to take the kick in his end zone this is doubt it there that's a fresh leg too on joe nedley you know john lynch right there you know he's going to be in my book and i'm sure he'll be on howie's team as well tough afternoon but you know john can blow up blow him up as well as anybody john king gets it off jaquez green can't get it into lead charles woodson look i'll tell you charles woodson now is a guy you know he's going to redefine a position the way dion sanders did this is the fastest man on the field here jacquez green today charles woodson doesn't give him any extra cushion it's 41-00 and you could lay off him at that point and make sure that you just break the tackle which is just happened to get some action over there not many passes thrown his way oversleeve on that island out here all by himself mike got caught in the backfield daryl russell two guys back-to-back that have made plays for the raiders those are two pro bowlers a year ago two young guys that you know a team can build around dale russell right here in his look at that jump he gets he's off on the ball that's a take off and he said you know i just want a human block i just want one guy to block me for once during the game and he got it that time and he beat it and that's why he doesn't get what got blocking him yeah and he gets two or three guys at a time you know every single play on third down buccaneers need to get to the 30-yard line for the first king under pressure another set they're waiting for the officials to blow the whistle they finally do they get the sack the third of the day for the raiders they've just been teeing off here in the second half and you know you saw that smile on sean king's face maybe that's all he can do right now you got star wars you got kiss out here and they're all enjoying this the raiders come after him with everything that's darion gordon the nickelback look at sean king said you're not taking me down [Music] greg beaker thinks otherwise but yeah he says what more can i do yeah mark royals to gordon and he picks it up the flags are down and the legal touch by the buccaneers is what that's going to be at least on this end i see some wrestling going on with travian smith and john mclaughlin well that's why gordon picked that ball up because once the raiders touch it i mean excuse me the buccaneers touch it it's a free ball he can pick it up right if he fumbles no loss no big deal it doesn't hurt to go and try and do something with it exactly if you get the score you can take that's a free play and for bobby hawing here not much action this year yeah all week eight against miami two of three passing for 10 yards tony dungy's defense the most points they've ever given up in his reign here in tampa bay and the most the bucks have given up as a team since 1994. now tony dungeon does a good job of concealing his disappointment and staying calm on the exterior inside he's living with this team tyrone wheatley takes the handoff dances his way out to the 28-yard line gain of one devin smith now in the game replacing john lynch who has a bruised left knee john went out for a play last week he came in and then i got the interception in the fourth quarter for the bucks here right now you know it's it's already an embarrassing day but you what you want to do right now is trying to do anything to feel good about yourself with a long five and a half hour flight home tyrone wheatley his 18th carry of the day he's already over the 100 yard mark derek brooks with the tackle and we talked about at the start of this game how the buccaneers needed a win to get into the playoffs they don't want to lose sight of the fact that looks like they might not win today barring a miracle comeback but all they have to do is win one of their last two games and they're still in well it's interesting you know this team is geared around their defense and the last time they gave up 100-yard rusher was to greg hill against detroit and they lost that game 20-3 and then they went on a six-game winning streak and now the raiders here controlling both sides of the line of scrimmage tremendous job by those defensive tackles for the raiders and then this offensive line from the beginning from the opening drive has taken charge here bobby hoyt's first pass the gonna be out of bounds incomplete brings up a fourth down for the raiders well you know detroit lost today and tampa bay will come down in green bay minnesota monday night chance for those teams to come up it's going to come down to the last week of the season you know in the west you know the raiders aren't dead you know seattle's slipping kansas city looks hot right now they get to 7-7 here today along with the ravens you know it's going to come down to a tie break leo aragoose to jacquez green he avoids the pigeon as well out to the 41-yard line johnny harris on the tackle 43 yards with the punt by arrow goose 15-yard return for green baldi the goodyear tyrant rubber company has dispatched its carson california-based blimp eagle to provide these aerial pictures for us goodyear blimps have been appearing over sporting events since way back in 1925. do you think they have any pigeons in their view up there just keep them out of the exhaust that's the thing or the intake you don't mind if they're in the exhaust i guess we saw that blimp take off the other day yeah that thing ascends quickly does it feel he needs a press pass to be down there i mean the field has to be down here eating that grass first down from the 41. eric barton with the tackle an active afternoon for the rookie looks like that's going to be the final play of the third quarter and this third quarter like much of this game all raiders to nothing will continue afterward from your local fox station mike alstott tough day fumble turned into points for the raiders three turnovers for the buccaneers today all three have turned into raider points robbie abdullah only his second carry of the season now in the game here the stats through three quarters and as you might expect all in the raider column yeah you know you look at the first downs here the you know the points off the turnovers the fumble recover for a touchdown and then you know what wheatley and napoleon kaufman has done they they really riddled the tampa bay defense from the opening drive the guys came off the football toe-to-toe took sap on and culpepper and you know controlled the action measurement on the abdullah carrie well the chain kind of slipped there afterwards they mark it for a first down about the only thing that the bucks have gotten going for today was that was that spot take nothing away i mean this is this has been the raiders now they've controlled the action [Music] there you go kurt you buck's only giving up 20 points all year in the third quarter they gave up 21 coming out of the shoots at halftime to this raider offense play action king to the air pass caught by jacquez green in front of charles woodson can be another tampa bay first down that's the best pass that sean king has thrown all day now it becomes kind of a confidence game for the young kid in the fourth quarter doesn't it well you know we talked about his poise and his confidence at the outset and i don't think that's been taken away because the whole team hasn't played well it wasn't sean king today the whole team didn't look ready to play you know and i think what sean has done in the two games that he started was he fit in and he rallied around the team and what they were doing rather than the team really depending on him empty backfield on first down king quick pass dave moore another first down 12 yards on the play sean king's first two starts got as many wins as any of the other rookie quarterbacks and they were all first round picks kings after in the second round that's coming into today of course but yeah you look at it and sean had fared real well but rookie quarterbacks don't go and sail through this league you know at any point in the rookie season the way sean started you know in those first two games it catches up to you eventually most rookie quarterbacks of course drafted by teams that are not very good sean had thrown a touchdown pass in each game that he's appeared in this season so far goes to the air again pass complete dave moore that'll make dave more happy i was talking to him before the game yeah his second catch in a row makes him smile huh no he hadn't caught any passes from sean king in those two games and he said you know maybe i'm the forgotten guy right now you know he you know this is his contract year for gabe moore and you know he knows that tight ends are going to be looked at based on number of receptions he's got the touchdowns he doesn't really have the number of receptions you look forward to be thought of in a free agent mark nine-yard pickup on the pass play [Applause] king quick pass incomplete intended from bert emanuel eric allen with the coverage yeah eric allen said you know bert emanuel is his go-to guy and he thought he had to shut him down and eric coming off a major knee surgery of a year ago he's been all the way back he doesn't wear a brace on his knee and he had the same injury that jerry rice had and joey galloway randall cunningham and his operation was a little bit different he actually got it an achilles attendant from a cadaver that's something that's not a live curve [Applause] i know you got a duke degree so you know i wasn't quite sure if i could understand that robbie abdullah runs out of room richard harvey that's going to be another run play for a loss by the buccaneers they've had four of them today three sacks four rushes for losses just getting back to the loudest scrimmage has been hard watch daryl russell on his takeoff here against doggins the left guard beach dog is right out of his stance i mean just splits a double team of tony mayberry and gruber and disruptive force [Applause] richard harvey wants credit for it another tackle for the loss russell made that play they lose four yards towards fourth and five [Applause] ball drops redel anthony had it hit him in the numbers the raiders gonna take over on downs up by 38. [Applause] bobby hoeing second series a little pitch to tyrone wheatley stiff on run out of bounds by donnie abraham [Music] pass almost intercepted pass intended for kenny shed with excellent coverage by donnie abraham for the bucks [Music] looking at the standings in the nfc east the redskins lose today but the giants also lost today opening things up for dallas and allowing maybe arizona to sneak in there a tough game out there in the desert today against buffalo trying to rebound from that really a horrendous loss to the redskins last week like they didn't even show up tim brown in motion are third and three at the hitch to kaufman changes directions out napoleon kaufman's got plenty of room to run and some blockers he's got bobby hoing out there with an excellent block 75 yards for the touchdown [Applause] can it get any worse yeah it can always get worse kaufman's second touchdown of the day his second of the season and the raiders go over the 40-point mark well and napoleon kaufman shows you how effective this raider offense can be because he can hit that home run at any time look at touchdown of the day you know the season for kaufman raiders keep climbing the charts last time they scored this many points september of 95. joe netany's extra point gives him 45. napoleon kaufman from 75 yards out takes it in defensive coordinator monty kiffin is beefless [Music] napoleon kaufman's 75-yard touchdown run the raiders longest play of the season yeah you know i mean they're doing it on the ground and tony dungy and this team looks helpless to stop him right now [Music] you know they couldn't even do it right now with you know with star wars out there they couldn't do it luke skywalker would be no help for them today yeah yeah luke would be ineffective today joe negney redel anthony short kick from the 16. [Applause] after the 28 yard line calvin branch with the tackle take another look at this run by kaufman oh yeah lincoln kennedy gets out here and runs and chidi ohana to the end right here has it has him wrapped up at one point he sees the play reads it pretty well there's 72 in the picture ohana two now when he cuts back he picks up james get there and bobby hoing is blockers and there's nobody suddenly tampa bay's defense that's known for speed and pursuit is nowhere to be found well you know for tampa bay you want to get it all out of your system today you're two to go you don't want any of this to creep into any other games sean king on first down from the 28th he scrambles flags thrown steps out of bounds at about the 39 yard line but flags back in the area of holding like a convention of flags out there on the ground more flags than pigeons and and doves out here right now is that five flags of laying or whatever yeah you know you want to holding offense number 71 10-yard penalty repeat first down gary wants the right tackle call for the penalty look at the tandem of running backs and what they've done today both of them over a hundred yards a piece the bucket hasn't given up 100 yards rushing to one guy in the last 19 games today they've given up to two guys over 100. 15.3 yards of carry for kaufman and that's better than nebraska can do this looks like a nebraska score right now 45 nothing king under pressure gets it off kevin mccloud stopped at the 19-yard line even though he lost a helmet eric barton still making tackles boy sure did you see this yeah he the rip sleeve yeah he's earned he's earned himself another start yeah just shedding the sleeves you know a little bit like the incredible hulk there and he's played like the hulk out here today he he's been luke skywalker on both sides of the ball superman whatever he's got seven tackles in this game second and 18 for the bucks king brady jackson with another sack the fourth of the day for the bucks raiders sacked them four times that's the fourth sack of the season for grady jackson and it's one guy after another continuing to make plays and it's tough on the tampa bay offensive line it starts with the snap king gets it he doesn't take three steps and gets set before jackson comes in and no way sean king is going to get away from that body it's not a pretty body but he moves it well [Music] isn't that the line that you use usually on a friday night on the dance floor it's not a pretty barney but you're moving well third 27. [Applause] not even going to be close [Music] how many times today have the raiders defense flush this tampa bay offense with three plays and out quick series and when it hasn't been three it hasn't been much more i think i saw tony dungy just look at the clock because he can't stomach this much longer but there's eight and a half minutes to go talk about your long flights it's a six hour flight normally this [Applause] raiders have had everything but a punt return for a score today won't be on this play shelton quarles gets the tackle fullback john richie gave to the office today if there's any question oh yeah he drew some blood today he looks like one of those raider fans but the raider fans they got to go to the makeup artist and get their stuff you know richie here he earned that you know he doesn't even want to he doesn't even want to wash the face afterwards he wants to take that home with him so you know he i watched these raider fans you know in the parking lot before the game they were here eight nine o'clock in one that crockett that's amazing how when you you're cut like that you're losing 45 nothing you feel the pain when you're up 45 nothing it's a badge of courage and i see them taking out steve wisniewski right making a change robin's coming out the guy that really [Music] you know is playing at a pro bowl level he likes it it's their center yeah yeah i bet she likes it he likes the way he looks just took out barrett robins the center that's really playing you know at a pro bowl level this year replacing with adam troop adam true the long snapper comes in he plays center second and six zach crockett kyoka jackson on the tackle warren sapping the bucks needing to bounce back next week they've got green bay at home for their final home game of the regular season then they go to chicago so two division games they'll still own a one game lead in their division when they go home and with the win can clips that playoff spot et cetera et cetera et cetera so all night gloom and doom for them despite the scoreboard today no they can still go out and flat out win the division you know they're gonna have to regroup quickly and it'll start on that plane ride home they need the buccaneer 48 for the first crockett again kevin smith on the tackle stops him short flags raiders almost perfect today [Music] is that only their second penalty kurt actually that's their fourth they've got them all in the second half here though four penalties for the raiders for 45 yards offense number 73 the penalty is declined fourth down daryl last more he's in a guard right now getting a little playing time not exactly the way he wants the coaches to remember him but he'll take the pt lincoln kennedy and the rest of the big guys getting a rest up by 45 with six and a half to play low snacks spr jacques brown [Applause] picks it up off the [Music] hops out of bounce at the 18-yard line randy jordan pushes him out 38 yards on the punt five on the return [Music] they begin from the 19 now make that robbie abdullah abdullah brought down by daryl russell [Music] the afc picture the raiders keeping their name right in the hunt with a win today they'll go to and 7-7 on the year oh right here you know the patriots got beat today all these teams at seven and seven the bill's playing out in the desert tonight again dumps it off dave moore busy fourth quarter for more both these teams working on a couple of shutoff streaks if you will the raiders defense has not pitched a shutout since 1992 against denver in november the bucks offense has not been shut out since 97 against the jets john gruden you know finished that game last week in tennessee and he said all the games last four games are going to be elimination games we lose we're going to be eliminated well he lost last week but so did a lot of other people so he crunched numbers you know and permutations i i don't know what that means exactly but you know all the different scenarios and he said we're still in but he's got tired of talking about the playoffs he just wants his team to play a good football game ball dropped by mccloud giving up a 75-yard run for a touchdown on a 30-yard run to tyrone wheatley untouched darion gordon [Applause] more dance moves in fred astaire marty nickerson with the tackle 53 yards on the punt four on the return taking possession from the 25-yard line a lot of backups on the offensive line right now daryl ashmore in there that's zach crockett getting the carry yeah adam drew guys it was always a good sign you know i see jenelle dinapoli in that right guard jeremy brigham in there i mean these guys earned a seat on the bench today look at the group photo they got going on over there wheatley and kennedy and richie i remember john you know john gruden telling us and rich gannon saying we'd love to play a game where we could just put a baseball cap on you know in the fourth quarter and enjoy a victory some of their guys headed on in the third quarter today that's when rich gannon went out tim brown for the first half by tim brown today too crockett that crockett trying to become the third member of this team to go over the 100 yard mark rushing today napoleon kaufman has and so is that guy tyrone wheatley [Applause] i'm amazing kirk what a change of scenery can do for a player where you know he really feels like he's part of the team and he's a contributor he's the lead back how the giants and dolphins would love to have tyrone wheatley playing like that in their units right now two teams always in search of a running game seemingly had him but as you said he runs harder here than he did there he seems to be in better shape so he's revitalized his career by taking maybe things a little bit more seriously as well zach fights for the first down needed to get to the 35 crossed it first down raiders well that's the backup offensive line taking it to the bucks right now on third and five being able to run it the bucks have a lot of their backups on defense in the game right now as well this is like a pre-season finish number two is against the number twos you know talking to you know the defensive coordinator down there on the field before the game you know for the bucks you know we were just saying that boy once you start winning those six games in a row you want to keep it going but maybe losing right now they can turn that into a favor for the bucks get all the bad feeling and the bad plays out of their system and concentrate you know and played a high level the last two weeks and take that into the playoffs zach crockett his seventh carry of the day all here in the second half seven yards gonna take us to the two-minute warning buccaneers just two more minutes to ride this one out fellas [Music] i thought they got off to a bad start in the first offensive play curt they ran kind of a fake reverse some kind of razzmatazz just didn't fit the buck personality got in the hole quick and the raiders jumped on that crockett fights out to midfield another first down for oakland today's game is being produced by raymond v smalls the third our ed goren and david hill are stats today done by jeff nelson spotter bill warndell of course mark butler running the audio we're getting more guys in than the raiders have this last fourth quarter i think they've gotten everybody in the game today [Applause] thanks to goodyear for providing the blimp today goodyear blep eagle providing all this aerial coverage [Applause] john gruden's raiders getting their first shutout since before john gruden was a raider 1992 against denver november of that year they won it 24-0 raiders go to seven and seven stay in the playoff hunt the buccaneers will drop to nine and five but they remain in first place in the nfc central there you see the standings in the central well with detroit's loss today everybody is curt menifee for brian baldinger and brian weber sang so long from oakland once again the final score raiders 45 to nothing over the bucks
