L.A. Rams vs New Orleans Saints 1985 2nd Half Week 13

cvs [Applause] that's our score here 9-3 the rams will kick off back for that kickoff in a moment everything you've always wanted in a beer and less [Music] come on saints these young ladies are saying and mike lansford will kick it off back deep are willie tullis and eric martin [Music] and it is from the four [Applause] man up to about the 22-yard line check some of these statistics here at halftime [Music] rushing yards about even passing yards the saints have the better of it in total yards yeah they i think that total yardage is a strong indication an illustration of how well the saints have played in the first half that they've dominated this game no turnovers they've played extremely well here again let's see if they can maintain that same personality here in the second half you don't see many games where there are no turnovers in the first half and there's bobby a bear and he has wayne wilson and earl campbell in the backfield and they've thrown the ball a lot more on first and ten than their average has been in the past ocean by good law here comes campbell and a good tackle by collins number 50. he got inside and tripped him up on the play and then reggie dawes finished him off the first half here's what new orleans did with the ball [Applause] field goal field goal field goal and their only punt and then they ran off the clock you see those 13 play drives 13 and 11 play drives that's the kind of football that the rams like to play and of course i mentioned earlier the saints they say had to play mash football and they've done it so far there's a loss of a yard on that carry by campbell campbell's out of there now maybe swings it out to wilson a screen good recovery by wiltshire and others eckerd came all the way over from the other side third and long coming up here's wade phillips you know the owner of this uh the majority owner tom benson told me hank about phillips chance of staying on his head coach he said the only thing he has against him and he was serious was is his name so he wants to make a clean break down here talking about the owner did he uh i wonder what i wonder what he what he'd have to do if he maybe change his name would he have a chance they want to get those people back they're only 50 000 here it's a 72 000 capacity stadium third down and eight and did somebody move i guess so that would be my guess the way they all came across [Applause] looked like it might have been brad edelman bald start prior to the snap number 63 [Applause] university city of missouri he moved too quickly you say he's one of the best yeah i think he is he's really a terrific football player you know played center in college and he has the capacity to play center or guard but he's been a permanent picture of the left guard position when he's healthy and but i think he's going to go on to enjoy great success with that left guard position if he stays healthy four defensive linemen are in there including gary jeter on third down and 13. [Music] up front sean miller and almost completed despite the heavy coverage to the tight end hobie brenner i think it's the first time they've thrown to him hank well i think what they try to do they thought the the the rams try to create the impression they were going to be a man for man coverage again then on the snap of the bulb they went to a zone and uh in spite of that why bobby eyre bear was trying to hit the seam in that zone and came very close to getting it done to the tight end party is a punch situation for hanson his second of the day get it away from about the 10-yard line yeah i'm sorry jack there was hobie brenner instead of partying brenner said he wanted to beat his old coach didn't he yes he did back to get it is henry ellard [Music] pretty good kick not very well covered from the 35 40 45. wrestle down at about the 46-yard line by frank watlin you know i talked to wade phillips go ahead jack next saturday here on cbs kansas and north carolina state you need to say much more about that two outstanding and high-ranked teams a couple of sophomores danny manning of kansas chris washburn of north carolina state the game of collegiate basketball has really been elevated in recent years good action next saturday 12 30 eastern ball at the ram 46 good starting point hank yeah it really is and i talked to wade phillips yesterday and i asked him what the most dominant thing in his plan was he said we've got to do a good job on especially teams so far they've done that very well vickerson it was somewhat of a delay he came out to the 15 he got about three and in the first half what did the rams do with the ball they haven't turned it over neither team has punted punted hunted punted hatcher has been busy and then they kicked the field goal of 41 yards they've had bad field position and ready it's been kind of like a taffy pole for them in the first half dickerson got four second and six brock is five out of eight but [Applause] first down run by dickerson to the 43. you know the great thing about dickerson too as tall as he is you know he's got great follow-through he's a great follow-through runner finishes up well and watch him watch him cut back here now and he's got great vision he really moved del you know the other thing he's got is great body lean for as big as he is he leans well first down at the saints 43 after that tackle by waterloo put the inside bathroom a little slant into ron brown but a bad throw by brock and cold cover anytime you throw a slant pass you want to make sure that you throw it from the numbers down not above it because here we see him come to the inside and watch the ball is thrown high and usually that kind of a ball is ricocheted off the hands of a receiver if it's thrown high like that and winds up being an interception if you throw it low enough it's going to go right down to the turf and have no chance to be intercepted that's why that kind of a pass was a bad one johnny pohl made him pay second and ten and dickerson inside the 40. he got five that's the beauty of dickerson you can run them on any down no matter what the yard is and you know what they've done they i think they've changed the personality that play a little bit that counter play it was designed initially to go off tackle now they're running it inside the tackle and they've done a good job of creating some running room and taking advantage of the pursuing defense for the new orleans saints third and five at the 38. thomas is the extra defensive bank along with william cole something in the middle again jackson oh oh they're going to run it this time find a very strong run by redden close to first down yardage looks like it's going to be fourth and one as i view it from here ricky jackson was the tackler they're going to go for it hank i think in this situation the way the game is gone i think they have to go for it i think it's a little bit less than a yard jack in this situation i think you have to go there's john robinson who just made a decision the ball is at the 33 and it's fourth down and a foot hear the crowd david hill comes in bill bain plays a tight end hunter is on a wing booming is in the lineup quarterback snake and brock got it i think let's see where they marked that ball down boy it's very close i'm telling you that the rule of thumb normally jack if it's a less than a yard why the court they'll use a quarterback sneak but in this case with a great runner like dickerson and they were leaning to the right i don't think he made it judging by the right foot of number 15 the official there if he spots the ball behind that right foot he's short yeah that's why that's why peter brock is not large you know a big strong guy and as a result you really have to get a good surge and it's tough in that situation especially when you've got a black a running back like dickerson why uh not to give it to him on a short yardage situation if this field isn't crooked he did not make it the rams want a measurement but they're not going to get one clark and elliot really stuffed the play he didn't quite go with the surge did he no he did and normally you take a step to right or left and try to get in the crack he went right behind the search didn't get much of a series and that way that's why they didn't make it short we'll try johnny robinson opted for the fourth in inches rush and didn't make it well i think he made the right call there was no question about that i think with a big strong offensive line like they have they have to make something happen up front they didn't quite get the surge they had to have and that was the difference that's what always happens now you have to give a lot of credit to the saints defense they're all in there tight in the gap look at them get penetration they're down there good and low and as a result why there's no chance whatsoever for dena brock to pick up the yardage it was necessary for the first down elliott got right in under the center smith now the ball is at the saints 33. nice in motion and a give to the up back wilson and he got about nine yards tackled by johnny johnson [Applause] and watch watch the block on d journey and look at edelman number 63 coming through and blocking the linebacker ecker they uh it was kind of a counter play they were keying on earl campbell and they snuck wilson right through there for a nice game of play on the counter play with the track well that line moved him right out didn't he yes they did [Applause] had the rams done the same thing in a short yardage situation they'd have made the necessary yardage for the first down edelman court williams and brock in the tight end hobie brunner and the other tight end john tice it's short on that first down run second down in inches you know going back to wade phillips talking to all the players they were unanimous in their praise of wade the way he took over the responsibility of being the head coach and keeping everything simple and sound and basic they've been he's they all said that they had a great week of work more energy as they all said more energy the coaches they said you took their energy pills a lot of enthusiasm a lot of excitement but they couldn't say enough nice things about wade phillips and they have certainly demonstrated that confidence in him so far in this game nine and a half left in the third quarter second down an inches it's a first down run by campbell now let's check some scores of other games for you the giants trail by one they missed an extra point and it's at half with cleveland out in front by one point bobby johnson caught a touchdown pass and denver ahead of pittsburgh on a touchdown throw by elway 10-6 there in the third quarter also in the third quarter cincinnati winning over houston houston has a chance in that afc central 28 to 10 that score first down call by avail motion by tice first down pass and johnson almost picked it off as he covered hobie brenner brenner just didn't have the speed to run away from coming right down the seam and johnny johnson covering him very very well the ball was thrown a little bit short again and falls incomplete and some more scores for you green bay in the third quarter leading 14 to nothing over tampa bay and new england by seven at the half over indianapolis and another [Music] out as if to make it a passing down and then ran with wilson and nothing happened mel owens was there number 58. owens was very good the strong side linebacker mel owens number 58 top of your screen right in this position does an excellent job let's take a look at it watch 58 on a blitz coming across the line of scrimmage maintains good inside leverage and bounces to the outside and makes the tackle he played off the block of brad edelman number 63 it's third down and ten measure that one yes sir he cut it loose from his 35 yard line he threw it about 65 yards trying to get it to good low here comes a photo down what's that all about here's the films coming down polaroid films of alignments to the coaching staff it comes right down the wire you know incidentally jack we used to do that at notre dame when i was there back in 1957 and we did it for a very simple reason remember confucius he said a picture is worth a thousand words remember that where he coach did he coach any place confucius yeah i think the university of china huh somebody said to me if a picture's worth a thousand words why don't you shut up fourth down henry ellard is back along with johnny johnson you may see a reverse or something of the sort boy what a towering punt by hanson fair catch 15-yard line eller did the right thing and the rams have a long way to go only a 39-yard punt but very effective 7 43 left in the third quarter better send up pedro guerrero they need a home run don't they they haven't done much they really haven't they certainly haven't and talking to johnny robinson before the game i said what about the coaching change that have any effect no we don't think so we can't worry about things that we can't control we're just going to play our kind of football so far why they haven't been able to play that kind of football under on a wing of course when you have dickerson anything can happen he took a blast and he went across the 20-yard line there's bill bain along the sideline he's lost his starting job herb he's a handful yeah he is but he's still very valuable because he can play left tackle he can play guard he can play center if he has to play the right tackle he plays tight in on short yardage situations so he's a very valuable guy and has made a terrific contribution to the success in the tradition of the los angeles rams second down and three after the seven yard gain from dickerson red and blocking a missed tackle a missed tackle by bruce clark allowed a first down run by dickerson jackson comes out of the pile with the ball he says does this count the referee said new first down in favor of the rams watlet and jackson the tacklers [Applause] watch bruce clark number 75 the defensive left in missed the tackle there he is he overruns the play and a lot of people do that with dickerson but he overruns the play and tries to get back in make the tackle but it's too late it's going to take a long drive by the rams or the big home run ball and a run by dickerson there goes a flag that's probably holding as dickerson got about five yards flynn red made the tackle that's the last thing the rams needed was a major penalty and that was another counter play with dennis herrera and jackie slater 60 and 78 respectively jerry seaman is not telling us who it was john robinson finds that one tough to digest that'll make it first in 20. holding number 72 offense still first down kent hill ken hill was blocking down on the center that time in the right guard dennis harris 60 and slater 78 were pulling to their left here it is at the top of the screen there you see look at look at it [Music] he well they faked that counter play that time jack and nobody touched him he got through there like a like the invisible man that time nobody saw him nobody touched him and he made the sack that's the sixth sack of peter brock today all the way back to the five yard line watch jackson from the right of your screen watch him come to see the counter fake and here he comes out here without anybody blocking him nobody touched ricky jackson number 57 and very easy to understand why he made the sack second and 31. ricky jackson made the tackle at the six that's why we see him in honolulu every year in the pro bowl and he again he again said yesterday coach i guarantee you we're going to play a great game and we're going to win the game this is the best week of work we've had in a long long time we're loose relaxed i'm going to play a variety of positions which is going to be great for me and as a result why they've been very effective here so far in this game against iran third down and 30. extra defensive back is tallest well that's like running through a crashing machine the way those people are coming off the ball and gang tackling 97 gathers made the tackle gathers you know was drafted number two by the new orleans saints in the day of the draft he was down with his mother in north carolina getting ready to plant tobacco and they waited through the first round his mother said come on let's go you're not going to be drafted and when he wasn't drafted in the first round she said let's go let's go out and plant that tobacco they went out and uh he was drafted in the second round by the saints they had to get him out the field to answer the telephone here comes tullis and a good downfield tackle was made but look where the saints will start they'll go from their own 47-yard line after a 50-yard punt 10-yard return tackled by sean miller ten years ago it rained ten years here we see a picture wade phillips on the sideline and i talked to wade about his dad where's bum he's in houston i said what about your mom and he said she's right here and there's a picture of her helen phillips and he said with the white hair and she said that uh or wade said that you know when we used to have an argument bum and i why i knew i would always win because my mother was always on my side and she's on his side today well this ram defense had better go to work and give the offense some good opportunities they've had some but they botched him up and earl campbell was good for only a yard that time we have an upset in the making with the score 9-3 in favor of the saints have been ahead throughout 345 left in the third quarter dawson reed made the tackle up front you got to remember that though jack even though the saints have dominated this game the the rams are only one play from being back in the contest they scored a touchdown and an extra point they're ahead 10-9 so they're still very much in his contact second [Applause] well you know what he did there was a double zone that time and he knew as soon as he started the roll that the open area was going to be in the middle and he quickly made the decision threw the ball right inside the tice watch it again now there he goes back watch court to center pull back now he stops quickly knowing that the tight end would be right in the middle area delivered the ball right at the numbers first down new orleans states to john tights 82. at the 34 of the rams this good and serious for the ram followers [Applause] tackled by carl eckern again one of the passing yards today is that something unbelievable it really is and of course that you know they want to come off the bus running the football the rams do but what they've done so far is really kind of ridiculous they just have not been able to generate anything from an offensive standpoint second down six when they got one-on-one coverage no they're gonna make a double zone now they're changing the coverage on the snap he's looking over the middle ice again down to the 15. i tell you have to give a bear an awful lot of credit they were in a double zone again that time and he knew as soon as he got back in the uh in the pocket he was going to dump the ball off short because of the zone look at a counter fake and he stops quickly looks downfield nobody there and dumps the ball off to tice 82 in the area between the linebackers and he takes the ball right down to the 15-yard line really a great read on the part of bobby a bear number three collins and gary green made the tackle they marked the ball at the 14th first down the offensive line is doing pretty good and the linebacker came around from the outside mel owens and put the hit on the tailback we have a minute and 10 left in the third quarter getting laid for los angeles you know talking to the saint people yesterday they were all very impressed and ecstatic in their praises of the offensive line a young offensive line jim rourke number 70 edelman we talked about court defined center ralph williams 79 who played in the united states football league and of course dan brock they like this offensive line and justifiably so they're blocking well here this afternoon second and nine at the 13. eric martin first and goal martin knew he was going to get blasted but he caught the ball anyhow yeah he did first things first just catch the ball and don't worry about what's going to happen after i catch the ball he doesn't have great speed he's tremendous quickness and great hands jerry comes off the ball look at it again look at all the room green gives him he breaks to the inside on the slant and the ball is thrown a little bit behind had it been thrown out in front he might have had it knocked down collins came over to help out the ball's at the three first and goal and that marks the end of the third quarter and the saints have the lead they were ahead nine to nothing they lead nine to three and they're knocking at the door we start the final quarter 9-3 new orleans the rams lost to the giants lost to atlanta on the road then they beat grimm they have not lost three in a row on the road since 82 what they want to do is either get the ball here or make the saints settle for three points and here again the saints have a decision to make they got four downs to make three yards are they going to slam it in there and go try to ram it in there or if they're going to throw a play-action pass the time to throw it would be right now on first and three see what they do three tight ends first and goal campbell in the backfield toss to the one rams recovered in a hurry owens the first there and jim collins came and helped edelman number 63 got a good block and they slammed it down there close now they got three downs they get a yard campbell has scored only one rushing touchdown all year and new orleans has only four rushing touchdowns this year that's last in the league three tied in brenner tys and hardy wilson's back in there ocean by hardy campbell did not did not [Applause] he got to the goal well the rams got off the ball that time good shape they got great penetration watch the rams come off the ball eckern is strong here yes they are but look at him come off the ball and there's no look at him come over the top to hit hit campbell right up on top that was eckern who got airborne 55 eckerd was a guy that came over the top and tried to get him in mid-air and we have campbell shaken up on the play and the clock is stopped with 1408 left in the game it's third and goal from about a foot away and there's an official's timeout the score nine to three saints a critical play is coming up uh rush was hit in the groin he's all right now but he comes out has to stay out because it's an official's timeout and it is bobby fowler number 43 in the backfield with wayne wilson on third and goal from a half yard away and fowler 6-2 230 from louisiana tech he's a good player third down might see a bootleg here they start hardy in motion it's a bootleg and a tackle and the rams have done a job of avoiding the touchdown and then newsom almost undid his good work hank by ramming the quarterback into the deck a second time didn't he yeah that [Applause] that's an unusual play if you're going to do that jack you know the good call would be a play-action pass the bootleg look at the lineman's the nuisance right on the line of scrimmage coming tough blissing on the play there's no way in the world you're gonna get around him because there's nobody to block him now watch you'll get him down they wrestle each other down now watch this extra bit by newsome right at the end well he jammed him into the turf again so this would make it 12-3 good four out of four for anderson [Applause] and we have 13-23 remaining in this game anderson is kicked 47 yards 42 yards 35 yards and now 27. let's check those standings in the nfc with the 49ers playing in washington later today they'd love to see a new orleans victory posted and then that would give the 49ers a chance to get within one game and they play the rams again so that would give them an opportunity to do it themselves and control their own destiny and san francisco i think is uh as a hot team at this stage of the season really they're playing very very well these rams play at san francisco on a monday night then they play st louis and the raiders both games at home next on cbs san francisco at washington and the dallas cowboys won on thursday the giants are struggling today trailing by point last time we saw so big game for the redskins also here's johnny robinson of course justifiably very concerned about what's going on with his football team so far and the other thing that's going to be very important right now is the fact that the saints have to do a good job of covering this kick they can't have any kind of a let up and conversely of course why the rams as good as they are on kick returns they have to bring it back in good field position provided they can return it there's brown driven deep into the end zone and he's gonna try from about four yards deep look out look out what a big run across the 35 to the 38 brother can he fly and the tackle was made by watlin 43-yard return talking to brown yesterday he said i'd like i like riddy to run to my right more than my left but watch this well he just runs right by people they have an angle on him he just runs right by him and he's finally tackled there by watlet number 49. there's brown and hank you said something to him about a trackman having trouble turning his head what'd he say he said i am not a trackman i'm a football player first down at the 38. intercepted by johnny po fumble new orleans gets it back at the 50-yard line that's the first turnover today johnny paul intercepted and that's his third of the year ron brown number 89 coming off to the inside look at johnny pogue give him a shot follows him across he stops and dieter brock is anticipating brown continuous course across the field but he stopped and of course poe makes the interception that's the best field position for the saints today at the no at the rams 49. and they already have a 12-3 lead campbell is back in there fake to wilson a toss to campbell [Applause] ralph wilson williams their right guard number 79 pulled to his left and made a great block on the outside that provided earl campbell with running room off tackle good block ralph williams number 79. and second down coming up at the 43 as johnny po a former missouri player just got his third of the year second and four it's the first turnover today for either club thanks to campbell martin play action fake faking inside he pumps a lot of time to throw the ball look at this now green is covering him it looks like he's got deep position on him it overruns the ball and the ball is thrown just a little bit short eric martin comes up with a great great catch good concentration and is a touchdown for the new orleans saints third of the year for martin extra point good let's watch a bear when he saw the touchdown in the end zone he didn't show much animation does he look at this look at it is he happy 19 to 3. lsu so he's a favorite down here his third touchdown of the year a bear's second touchdown pass after the turnover here's the kick by anderson ron brown and charles white are deep well brown gave the rams a chance with a good return but brock's pass was picked off they got to be careful here again regardless where the ball goes i think how deep it goes is going to be immaterial i think he's going to still try to bring it out and make a big play let's see what happens from the two to the 20. let's do some scores of other games for you philadelphia leading 23 to nothing mcfadden gets his third field goal of the day third quarter over the vikings eric schubert who missed an extra point has just kicked the 35-yard field goal the giants in the third quarter seven minutes left lead to cleveland 23-21 and it is denver over pittsburgh by one point in the third quarter anderson gets his third field goal of the day for pittsburgh and cincinnati having no trouble messiahson having a good day and the bengals lead houston 42-13 green bay leaves to tampa fourth quarter can't camp is in a quarterback yet okay kemp trying to put a drive together and brown was hit by poe and he held the ball what a spectacular tackle and brown gets back up at the 35 a 15-yard gain wow watch this replay here now look at ron brown going right down outside leverage on the part of johnny po and this is what happens when the ball is thrown that high the defensive back has a chance to hit him low and a tilt sign goes up and he hits the turf very hard on that last play that could make a trackman out of you again couldn't it surely could first down at the 35. one for one look out combo fumble fumble touchdown james haynes caused the fumble watch this now jack the the bad thing here look at his blitzes the ball should have been dropped on they should have been dissatisfied to fall in the football and david hill tried to but it bounced right up in the air del rio gets it on the bounce goes in for the touchdown jack del rio number 50. from southern cal ran it in for 20 yards the extra point is good 26 to 3. 11 10 left make it 22 yards this is something isn't it totally unexpected the rams won the first game 28-10 look at wade he wants a job here doesn't it they ought to give it to him right now after this win bring down the contract that's right because you never know what's going to happen from here on in i'll say this for him hank he's got the team working doesn't it yes he has and i asked the squad there's a picture of jack del rio we had a great visit with him and is he proud of being a player former player from the university of southern california does construction work with his father yeah he's going into that business when he gets through with football but he's got a great plan and a terrific future right here with the saints and he's going back he told us why he went to southern cal well he wanted that challenge yes he said a lot of people told him that he went to southern california there's so many great players there that he wouldn't have much of a chance and that was really the motivation that he needed he felt that you know i wanted to earn it and i wanted to earn the right to play with a big league organization like in the school and the university like southern california and i'll accept the challenge and i want to play with the best and that's what he did here's anderson kicking to white and brown it'll go to brown brown on the fourth 22 that's about it peter brock is 5 out of 10 47 yards that's all and one intercepted so he's not very happy jack del rio made that downfield tackle john brown so he's very much in this game by the way kenny robinson was very proud of the way brock came back so quickly after that kidney stone operation oh listen that's amazing they could only be out one game and come back and play like he has and i guarantee you that the fact that they've lost this or they're losing this game like they are so far certainly is not any kind of a bad rap on dieter brock is certainly not his fault from the 23 with kevin quarterback and there's a flag and i think there was well maybe he missed i think there was contact on the line of scrimmage nose tackle made contact encroachment prior to the snap number 73 defense frank warren he got over there made contact and brought the flag before the snap here's jeff kemp and prior to today he had thrown for one touchdown two touchdowns and one interception [Applause] the big problem here this afternoon is obvious they really haven't done much of a job of pass blocking at all talking about the los angeles rams when they've had the throw they really haven't had that much time or room to throw bill caught it fumbled and a fumble don't tell me del rio has the ball he made the hit and got the ball this is the vendetta isn't it well i tell you it really is and the funny thing about it is that vince gibson who used to coach at tulane right at halftime came down he said you know coach he said del rio watch him carefully boy he's going to be a great great linebacker and he's certainly playing that kind of a game this afternoon here we see it again del rio's playing in the middle he'll caught the ball yeah he makes the catch and the ball bounces right back as he's lying on the ground right back underneath him and he makes the recovery fumble 10 52 left in the game 26-3 new orleans [Applause] turnovers rams three new orleans i know i gave you a wrong figure on kemp previously had no passes one intercepted he stumbled and hit hill and the fumble no turnovers at all in the first half and new orleans has been perfect today campbell 18 carries 62 yards there's the mascot saint bernard friendly looking fellow you don't think he's very thirsty do you second down six motioned by tice and that's short of a first down by about a yard what happened to the rams today they really thought they were ready ready to roll well you know you never know if you can bottle that while you make a lot of money trying to decide whether a team is ready to play or whether they're not and of course as i mentioned at the beginning of the show you know the important thing for the saints was going to be that you knew they're going to be emotionally involved but were they able to work are they going to be able to maintain that emotion and certainly they have in this game so far the ball is at the rams 23 and it's third one wilson is the lead man blocking for campbell first half errol campbell having a good running day and he's caught a couple of passes also mel owens made the tackle 50 left in the game and a tough day for the rams here who are playing without bobby duckworth who missed the team playing yesterday [Applause] well that's certainly not why they're losing this game today though jack that's got nothing to do with it i don't think and i know that you're not trying to infer that i just want to point out a big story you know you get something like that happens sometimes it causes a little dissension the ball is at the 21 first down [Applause] nice in motion toss to campbell leroy irvin played it very strongly but couldn't make the tackle and finally campbell went out of bounds [Applause] irvin really fighting off the tight end but missed at the end watch tice number 82 blocking on irvin he gets underneath him and he's uh a lot taller guy than irvin but he got down there pretty good shape and made good contact a gain of five yards that trip by campbell 909 left in the game [Music] the balls to the 15. and in this half look what the saints have done to the rams second down and five and that one was stop cold that trip with campbell carrying again you know campbell attributes a lot of his physical well-being to tom williams who used to be with the houston authors and now takes care of athletes in the houston area he really is a terrific guy as far as training athletes are concerned and he spent a lot of time with them all summer in the spring and summer and uh earl really has high praises for his friend and conditioning guy tom williams gamble comes off that tackle was made by meisner and dennis harrison fresh people in there for los angeles third and five [Music] across to anthony look at that fourth down so morton anderson who has already kicked four out of four and has kicked 10 in a row will come in again johnny johnson made that tackle you know an interesting thing with morton anderson going around the the league like we do jack you see kickers kicking off a lot on friday and saturday we always had a rule at kansas city with stenaroo that we never wanted him to touch a ball on saturday and very few kicks on friday this young guy morton anderson doesn't touch the ball kick the ball at all on friday or saturday to make sure that his leg is good and fresh and strong on sunday and it's a great approach because at this stage of the season most kickers kick too much 35-yard try and it is good so that makes the score 29-3 and anderson is 5 out of 5. anderson and the punter brian hanson have gotten together and they have recorded some music they both do the vocalizing he's five for five today in the field goal department and we're going to let you hear a little of that music by hanson and anderson when we get an opportunity here seven and a half left in the game his five field goals by the way one short of the team record ron brown charles white are back a very high kick and it's taking on the three by brown he thinks he's going all the way every time he returns a kick off and what a lovely run out to the 40-yard line [Music] they mark it down at the 42. there's anderson tackled by alvin tolls of the saints there's the cover of their piece of music by brian and morton and here's the music [Music] take it to the top i can see you doing the boogaloo right now hank you got a great imagination if you can see me doing it kid from the 40 yard line first down rams kemp on a delay to barry redden he's good for four or 7 five left in the game and now we're coming up to the seven minute mark and the chances are slim look what the rams have done the last three times interception fumble fumble that won't get it done will it no i surely won't hanes was the tackler number 92 one of the linebackers of the saints tough spot for a fellow like kemp it's an old lawrence wealth offense one minute two and a three and a punch can't win that way second down and six beautifully thrown and a great catch on that something by mcdonald the tight end james mcdonald has been on and off this ram team of southern car southern cal man a 35-yard pickup what did he spend out that time and reach for that ball a beautiful catch in his hands watch jeff kemp jeff's got a good arm a good strong arm sets up got room to throw the ball that time makes all the difference swirl in his own defense jackson is trying to cover from the below doesn't get there in time and mcdonald makes a big play in a first down terry hogue made the tackle at the 21. six minutes left the linebacker got in there again haynes [Applause] along with glenn redd and others i think i don't think redden read the play properly jack it looked like he should have gone inside because he had both the right guard hera and slater pulling in that area but he elected to go outside and by that time why there was no blocking there and he got caught five and a half left second down and ten eleven actually 29 to three new orleans leading panel in motion and david hill made a great try and a flag goes down [Applause] stops the clock with 5 13 left i don't know whether the offensive man pushed or the defensive man was involved defensive holding past the five-yard limit that's an automatic first down [Applause] holding number 50 defense that's jack del rio he's doing everything today yes he is you know watch right here screen watch del rio number 50 there he is and evidently he got a shot at him they looked before or after he went below beyond the five yard area first down at the 16. redden is in the backfield donald on a wing and in motion [Music] belongs to new orleans made the hit he was blitzing from the outside number 49. and it was haynes the linebacker 92 got it fourth turnover by the rams that closes the gate on them with 505 left in the game watch 49 a of your screen he comes around the block the backside and gets a sack the ball is popped loose and there you see james haynes number 82 recovering the fumble giving that extra screen not only have the rams turn the ball over four times but the saints have done something with those that's what you're always preaching hank yeah that's right field position is fine but it's not worth anything if you don't take advantage of the good field position and the saints have done a terrific job of that this afternoon here it is interception a touchdown a fumble a touchdown a fumble a field goal a fumble nothing and this is their current possession after that fourth turnover they're at their 21-yard line jack del rio from southern cal played for john robinson and he also was a bad spot for john robinson but southern california but he played baseball in southern california too as a catcher [Music] wilson was knocked down hard at the 22. funny thing about del rio he thinks that football is easier than playing a full season of baseball as a catcher he made a great observation he said you know i played 45 games in college as a catcher and as tall as i am at 6'4 it was very difficult for me the wear and tear of squatting and catching 45 games was bad and then when i thought about being a catcher in the big leagues and having to catch as many games as they do then how many 160 oh yeah well a hundred and eighty hundred yeah 180 80 games in professional baseball he said i never would be able to do it because i'm too tall to squat down and come back up that many times in a game pretty interesting observation he played for rock dado out at southern cal second down in ten wilson with a little counter step and then came back for a couple of yards they just want to keep the ball run the clock 4 10 left dennis harrison the tackler [Applause] oh look at there the rams coming into this game with a record of nine and three will be nine and four so you can see if san francisco wins it'll be only one game out saints are out of it as is the atlanta team but the 49ers play at washington today and you'll see that on cbs when we're finished here they should be very emotionally involved in that game talking about the 49ers with a chance that they know they're going to play the rams later on and they can take care of their own destiny washington is seven and five that'll be a good there's wilson again trying for a first down but he didn't get it and the saints will punt 3 20 left in the game this telecast is presented by authority of the national football league it is intended for the private use of our audience any rebroadcast or other use of this telecast without the express written consent of the new orleans saints in the national football league is prohibited there's dennis harrison being checked on the sideline hank if if a team performs like this as they have under phillip swade phillips and they continue to play for the rest of the year what choice would you have not much i wouldn't think so but uh they do a lot of unusual things when it comes to making a decision as to who coaches and who doesn't here is hanson's punt it'll head for ellard who's standing back at his 30-yard line rams came after it it's a short punt as a result and out of bounds well that'll hurt hansen's average next saturday army and navy go at it the cadets and midshipmen that annual game in philadelphia it'll be the 86th meeting philadelphia has napoleon mccallum he is a great running back that game's saturday commencing at 2 30 eastern time here on cbs army navy and the air force academy all have very very good years now we're down to 228 left that was a 14-yard punt thank you two to eight left [Applause] quarterback is kemp [Applause] next against san francisco for the rams on monday night at san francisco incomplete the date will be the ninth and then these rams play at home against st louis and then the raiders bass intended for brown johnny paul covering 223 left you have to give the saints a lot of credit for coming up with some new wrinkles for this game defensively especially they use the version of the bear defense with two linebackers on the same side occasionally with del rio in the middle he was a four-man front sum and they moved ricky jackson around quite a bit which is something unusual for the saints second and ten [Music] hank how would you summarize what happened to the rams here today before they got into all of its turnovers i think the defensive line of new orleans uh yeah i think basically you know you're going to win or lose and it sounds very redundant but i think you're going to win or lose any game that you play by what happens up front and i think basically the defensive line of the saints and the offensive line of the saints dominated the line of scrimmage and that was the difference in the contest that's a very simple explanation of what happened here this afternoon two minutes left there's the score 29-3 hi hey marty you've seen the monthly receipts no how are we doing oh beautiful frankie's spending money on meister brown like it's going out of style it's a quality beer it's expensive sorry if the kitkat says it ain't expensive says it just tastes expensive so so what's that little weasel doing with the dough ray me he says he's spinning on the beer oh baby that mick is making you look like a fox rich smooth meister brow it only tastes expensive it's a radio shack merry christmas honey this is just like the pc i

tasting lettuce and tomato hamburger ever cause the hot stays pops and the cool stays cool you get a quarter pound of beef on the hot side and the hot stays hottest [Music] is when the cowboys make their first ever visit to cincinnati they shouldn't expect warm greetings from the bengals get the story on the nfl today tough day for the rams they were shut out once last year by the 49ers this their lowest point total of this season let me get one thing straight about jack del rio he was recruited by john robinson did play for him as an underclassman and he really hurt his old coach today with a lot of different things it's third and six for the rams with two minutes left nice sprint out by kemp and the completed pass to mcdonald he bobbled the ball and did he hold on no incomplete and mcdonald doesn't argue about it incomplete is the call fourth down and the rams have no choice but to go from scrimmage watch camp he's uh escapes from the pocket the ball is thrown a little bit behind you can't tell whether he had it or not but there you see it roll out from underneath but it had to be on the ground fisher was right there to see it can't do that you can if you're not caught it is fourth down and six with 149 left rams tried earlier on fourth down that was a key play early on and they didn't make it on a quarterback sneak he's dumped off here to ridden he gets a first down he wants to get out of bounds but doesn't and he's down to the 19 tackle by whitney paul a 19-yard pass play you know the other thing to hurt the rams today jack there were only one of eight converting on third down and they wound up with third and the average yardage of 12. that's murder boy you can't win that way another thing that's going to hurt him is particularly if kemp does well here people say why not kemp instead of brock oh things like that hurt well that's always that's always the case they're always everybody is always wanting the quarterback who is on the bench to be the start and here's the running play to redden slowed down and brought down at the 16 with a minute left are the rams going to let the clock go there is a close-up of reggie doss they really played him tough and prevented some early saint touchdowns but the field goals put him behind and the ram offense never did get started you know the other interesting thing about this game jack you know you talk about learning lessons it was a blessing in disguise that you lost we lost and played so poorly against the atlanta falcons a few weeks ago we learned from that we know that we can't come in here and play that kind of game again they came right back and did exactly the same thing we're down to 25 seconds and it is second down and seven jim throws into the end zone and it is broken up by johnny pope intended for brown 15 seconds i don't know whether he broke it up or they just hit brown's hands and popped up into the air it was a high throw i'd like to see that again if we can kemp is four out of seven for 73 yards but the saints are playing it a little differently now than they would have been earlier yeah let's take a look here again here he throws it up on top and watch brown up johnny po got got his hand up there and deflected it he sure did fifteen minutes left and third down and seven 29 to three is the score good move by henry ellard trying to get out of bounds did not eight seconds left timeout called the rams want to get a touchdown they have five seconds left dave weimer was covering on the corner henry ellard made a very good move to get free and catch that ball tonight on cbs the conclusion of the holiday weekend 60 minutes murder she wrote crazy like a fox and trappy john md the usual fine lineup of telecasting on sunday evenings on cbs but before that of course the 49ers at rfk stadium against the redskins and what an opportunity for san francisco particularly hank as you say they play the rams at candlestick on monday night the 9th well they put up the open for business sign again because you know they they can control their own destiny they win today and they know they're going to play the rams down the line why uh you know they've got a chance to get right back in the thick of the things and uh win the conference there's wade phillips took over as a coach as his father resigned and the owner said that way that bum phillips did it strictly on his own recognizing what was happening here the second half of our doubleheader will find the 49ers at rfk stadium against the redskins san francisco goes into the game with a record of seven and five and the rams are now nine and four or they will be in five seconds the rams are still going to be in first place but it's a very scary position for them at this stage because uh they had total control of things and have lost now three games on the road and it's going to be tougher from here on in this may be the final play of the game going for six look out terry hogue ended it on that note the ninth sack well that's funny in it the ninth sack of the day and let's go to the nfl today in brent mussberger welcome everybody back now to new york we have got a couple of scores that are final the new orleans saints have upset the los angeles rams and you can see on our scoreboard that the philadelphia eagles are closing in on a win over the minnesota vikings that one is 23 to nothing at this point and uh dick vermeel uh marion campbell has done a solid job down there with the eagles he really has especially when you evaluate the adversity the first part of the season the giants and the cleveland browns this is a wild one in the meadowlands the giants with the lead 33-28 and the sands of time running down on the browns and their backup quarterback gary danielson three touchdowns by joe morris pittsburgh and denver it is 23-17 the steelers over the broncos in the fourth quarter the steelers have just gone ahead in that game mike merriweather intercepted a pass and dashed into the end zone cincinnati over houston 45-20 the bengals are going to win a big one in the afc central and of course many of you watched this one the packers in the deep freeze bowl in green bay shutting out the tampa bay buccaneers 21 to nothing and it's doubtful that the buccaneers will be able to get out of green bay tonight because of that blizzard indianapolis and new england and it is 31-24 the patriots leading in that game and the colts again playing tough at home the rams and new orleans and there is the big upset of the day the saints 29 the rams were unable even to score a touchdown and of course we are preparing now for the washington san francisco game and to get you up to date let's go back down and uh i can see there across that they have not forgotten about one joe theismann no not at all people remember joe bison finally down here brett the bull you hear is for the 49ers who just showed up and of course you know people down here love the redskins you know a couple of days ago a story broke out down here that art monk might not play because he had the flu well he didn't practice friday he didn't practice saturday but the trainer told us that he what he had was simply a 24-hour virus he'll be okay we'll play some today how much we don't know the good news though for the redskins in addition to the fact that monk would be here is that joe jacoby their great all-pro tackle will be in a starting lineup today after being out for a few weeks with a knee injury but he's really going to be challenged because he'll be going against dwyane ward the 49ers on the first and second down is a great defensive lineman for san francisco and on third long situations and passing situations you'll be going against fred dean who's a pass rusher car excellence you know daryl green ran a couple days ago when he was asked how wall schweiter was playing said that we don't expect jay schrader to take us to a championship what we have to do is a team is all get together and carry him there so the 49ers are facing a team today that has finally come together [Applause] [Music] all right eric thank you oh what a dandy that's going to be we're going to talk to dick vermeel and jim brown about that game as you can see the saints again over the rams easily and we'll continue on cbs in just a moment [Music] most people know you can only buy a curtis mathis that occurred at an rfk stadium how do you look at that one well i'm looking at this way the san francisco 49ers is sitting pretty right now jimmy greek said they're going to win it i might agree with them i think montana can eradicate everything that's been said about them and i think it's a great opportunity i think they're going to win it and dick what's your thought now with the rams having lost to new orleans will that help lift the niners up well i don't know if it'll help them but i've seen the 49ers play once against the rams and the 49ers played like a world champion if they play like that that today they'll win all right we'll be back with jimmy and dick at halftime so long everybody [Music] me
