New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys, Week 10 1984 1st Half

banking quarterback for the dallas cowboys so is tony hilback he's caught 24 passes since he's been back in three games as tom landry says now we've got somebody who can scare the defense for the giants bill sims is dealing with a hot hand last week against the redskins he threw for 339 yards as 17 of his 18 completions went to his wide receivers this one to ernest gray as the giants mauled the redskins their biggest win in a long long time and the sideline celebration brought a rare smile to the face of head coach bill parcell but as the giants face the cowboys today it remains to be seen how long the smile will stay new york giants against the dallas cowboys we are live at sold out texas stadium in irving texas the home of the cowboys who are tied for first place in the nfc east with the cardinals a record of six and three and the giants at five and four just one game behind the coalition good afternoon i'm pat summerhall here with john madden the giants haven't won here since norm sneed was their quarterback that was way back in 1974. last week against the redskins they came up with a rather unusual offensive scheme do you think they'll do it again i think they will i think they should uh you know they haven't been successful running this year in fact they they've averaged 2.9 yards per carry and that won't get it down any place so last week they went to three wide receivers basically and one running back phil sims is hot threw the ball all over the field was very successful i think they'll do the same thing again today but i think that the cowboys are going to blitz them a lot more than the redskins did last week as far as the cowboys are concerned it's a rather sad situation tony dorsett's father had a stroke friday night and tony has missed the last two days of practice he is back in dallas he will play but with all that on his mind it's you just gotta wonder how effective he'll be he is here though and he will play what about the cowboys in their quarterback controversy situation does it still exist well of course it still exists the the cowboys started the season with gary hogaboom a quarterback they switched last week to danny white they won against indianapolis and danny white's starting today now tom landry says you know we really have a two quarterback system he said i don't like that but that's what we are and he said we're going to play the quarterback that's doing the best he said now today danny white will start he said hoga boom might come in and then danny white could come back again and he said that's the way it's going to be today and that's the way it's going to be the rest of the season the cowboys will kick off raphael septie and we'll get it done back deep for the giants is phil mcconkey in the middle number 80. frank cephus back there with him along with joe morris septian's kickoff it will be mcconkey at the three still on his feet mcconkey with a good return outside the 30th victor scott made the tackle let's check the starting lineups the offensive backs and receivers for the giants phil sims the hot one at quarterback morris and carpenter the runners ernest gray and bobby johnson the wide receivers up front moats the tight end benson art belcher godfrey and carl nelson william roberts is still out godfrey starts at guard benson moves over [Music] johnson swings in motion sims to carpenter on first down over the left side got about four the defense [Music] ed jones john dutton randy white and jim jetcode up front the dallas linebackers hegman brunig in spite of the bad back playing in the middle and starting and anthony dickerson outside in the secondary everson walls and ron fellowes of the cornerbacks click scale and downs for the safety men three wide receivers now for the giants on second and five as lionel manuel [Music] [Applause] and make the tackle you know the interesting thing about that pat is last week we're talking about phil sims having a hot day he completed 18 passes and they were all to receivers the 17 of them were two wide receivers and one was to the tight end zeke moat he didn't throw a pass to a running back and his first pass today is to the running back now they go with the three wide receivers set up again as byron williams within the game and the cowboys come in with their 4-0 carpenter outside the 45 to about the 47 as randy white trips him up i think that's one thing that they're going to want to get today is a lot of mixture you know the giants want to not just let the cowboys think they're going to pass every down because that is the thing that they do the best so the cowboys are going to bring that 4-0 in when they think they're going to pass then they'd like to be in their regular defense when they think they're going to run so it really is a chess game out there on all downs a lot of substituting going on line of scrimmage is the 47 first series of the game sims fakes drops to throw as his fans hit moet right open his dexter kicks cleatsville takes him out of bounds another giant first down they pick up 12 they move into dallas territory that's what zeke moat of course he's a free agent tight end second year he's going to come out there to the right there's a good play fake to morris see he makes that fake there now watch bow out he's running an out pattern out there to the right right there in front of cling scale makes a good move catches the ball for a first down it was interesting before the game zeke moat was out there and he was asked that he wanted tony garcet's autograph the cowboys are expecting pass now they come with that 4-0 defense the extra defensive backs the task you have three wide receivers the draw play is taken down it's carpenter by jeff goat second and long of course the cowboys only use that 4-0 defense it was designed primarily to be a pass defense and used only on third down and once in a while they would use it on second and long and now of course we see him using it on first down because they think the giants are gonna pass every down second and ten and the cowboy 41 byron williams enters the game and they'll get another first down as bill bates makes the stop on carpenter this is an interesting start because they're using a three wide receiver same formation they used last week but instead of hitting the wide receivers now this is the second one they've hit to a running back we still see bill bates here number 40 man-to-man on rob carpenter he sneaked through and went out to the outside but they've hit rob carpenter twice on this drive and the tight end zeke mow out once first down at the dallas 30. two running backs this time carpenter swings wide right jeff coat chases anthony dickerson also there and they get him down after about a yard pickup [Applause] versus little joe morris he was blocking that time for carpenter that's also a reversal last week we remember the job that carpenter did blocking for joe morris as morris had three touchdowns there's joe morris that was only about five seven but he did have a good day against the redskins second and eight carpenter got two well he has that one thing that the giants have always needed they have to get speed in their offense and he's one of the guys that gives him that again mass substitutions on both sides sims is back to throw has time almost picked off by he's intended for bobby johnson it was everson walls who got the hand in there and almost picked it off [Applause] i'll say this that was real good coverage because the cowboys didn't get a very big rush here watch phil sims he has time see good pass protection look he's looking to his left looks to his right has to come back that's coming back to his right to his second receiver but really everyone was covered that was good coverage so that'll make it third down in eight it was also pretty good pass protection he had a lot of time billiard by the way is blocking randy white most of the time cowboys fake a blitz they didn't get back flags are down the ball was batted away but the cowboys were offsides as they face that glitch i'll tell you that's the thing that i think they're going to face all day you know tom landry says the key to this game is phil simp so we have to get after him and usually when a coach says we have to get after him he means he's going to blitz him third and three 47 defense offside a little too anxious gene barth is the referee well klingscale was right up there in that gap between the center and the guard he was trying to time it to hit it as a ball snap of course he hit it a little before the ball was snapped sims out of the spread formation tony galbraith is in the backfield with him [Music] [Applause] a lot of time again incomplete intended for bobby johnson ron fellows on the coverage and ali sheikh comes onto the scene he's had a tough time six out of 16 here yeah he really has and you know i remember talking to him last week that he said i think we finally got it straightened out he said i was jumping on the ball too much and he said i was really trying to hit it too hard instead of just hitting i talked to rafael centian yesterday about ali sheik and he said he thinks he's just pressing he's trying too hard he's not relaxed same thing sheik said from 40 yards out rutledge holding got it plenty of distance 40 yards out puts the giants on top first they leave three-nothing in the first quarter [Music] this stadium where the giants have just gotten a 40-yard field goal from ali she can lead nothing and the sheik will kick off [Music] that field goal may have done a world of good for the sheep you know i think sometimes you impress and you press you just need a little success chef mcswain will return this one for the cowboys from his own five and he's out of attack mcslain to the 37. 31-yard kickoff return by chuck mcsween mark haynes is the man who made the stop good return danny white of course we'll start at quarterback as we told you tony dorsett and ron springs the runners mike renfro and tony hill the wide receivers up front it's cosby at tight end richards at left tackle titan soar and placer herbert scott at left guard rafferty's the center for peterson in the right guard and through fosterick that right tackle tony hill split wide to the left and off springs inside springs gets nothing maybe a yard byron hunt led the giant defense along with lawrence taylor speaking of that defense three up front mcgriff burnt the nose tackle and marshall is the other defensive end the linebackers are hunt reasons harry carson and lawrence taylor in the secondary mark haynes and williams the cornerbacks courier and canard the two safeties it'll be second and ten as springs got nothing balls at the 37-yard line of the dallas cowboys cosby ships out of the backfield flanks up on the right they go with two tight ends here's garcia outside the 40 to the 42 pick up about five i think we're going to see a lot of that two tight end formation by the cowboys that's always been a way to attack lawrence taylor is one you put a tight end on him and the way they're starting out here you put a tight end on lawrence taylor and then that reduces him out to the outside and then you run away from third down and six danny white the quarterback timmy newsome is in the backfield now with white he operates out of the spread that's almost picked off by lawrence taylor flags are down however doug cosby was the intended receiver marge taylor is upset [Applause] or as taylor ran in there to say hey that's not a penalty on hut then he thought oh i better not get too close where i touch anyone now we're gonna have a little conference there that means they got more than one thing there was no interference on the play the ball no interference on the play because the ball had been tipped let's see if we can see the play now usually on a pass lawrence taylor's blitzing here he's on a coverage we're going to see him there you see he tipped the ball he tipped it with his left hand because he tipped it now canard cannot be called for interference when he touched the receiver that was a good call right on that stuff the conference paid off well see lawrence taylor knew that he tipped the ball that's why he was back there to argue he said you can't call interference i got my hand on that ball warren is kicking for the cowboys white gets a rest this is phil mcconkey coming up the handle they got his own 22. cowboys down quickly do a good job mcconkey gets happy about this 26 37-yard punt by warren giants take over at their own 27-yard line they lead three-nothing on the 40-yard field goal by sheikh in the first quarter with eight and a half minutes left to play that's the way the two offenses rank so far in 1984 cowboy's seventh overall the giants 11th overall giants have it first and ten their own 27-yard line 8 36 left to play first quarter joe morris and rob carpenter in the backfield [Applause] emmanuel in motion [Music] jeffcoat and fursdale finally cuts him down let's check out some of the other scores around the nfl detroit leads philadelphia seven nothing that's first quarter tampa bay seven minnesota nothing first quarter pittsburgh seven houston nothing first quarter second and eight here is three nothing giants and we're also in the first quarter [Music] rob carpenter is [Applause] [Music] [Applause] took it away from him what a play by moad it looked like an interception looked like the cowboys had it the next thing you see mo watch running the other way with it watch this again it's a three wide receivers plus one tight end that's moat he's going to go there in the post now he does have double coverage that was really forcing the ball in there look and it was off downs at the end kling scale hit it first out of his hands into down's his hand and finally to moa that's the old triple dipper first and ten giants at the cowboy 43. the handoff is the carpenter he bounces to the outside gets a couple ed jones takes him down to the artificial surface here's bill parcells over on the sideline his giants are five and four just a game out of first place in the tight nfc east [Music] and on the other side that are adapter time landing okay he doesn't like what he's seeing there you know the giants the first time they get the ball drive it right down foam field goal second time they're in the middle of a drive but i got we got to get these guys stopped man [Music] [Applause] sims the ball is loose now they say he was in the grasp he was down bill bates comes up with it mohawk still chasing no it's frank scale a little extra activity bill bates is the man who put the rush on and caused the fumble [Applause] okay now what the rule here is if simsa's hand is going forward then it's an incomplete pass if it's not going forward then it's a fumble now watch here when you see that it is going forward he's hit from the side the ball goes down the fans are boom that's just an incomplete pass i think the fact that klingscale picked it up and ran and that uh bowat chased him you know kind of got this crowd a little excited here but no big deal it'll be third and nine [Music] but that is what the cowboys have to do they have to put that type of rush on phil sim they're showing pressure again sims out of the spread no flags ernest gray tackled by everson walls short of the first down but that may have got them in field goal range i don't know from here it'll be a 52-yard field goal will be a 51-yard field goal where they put the ball down there or it'll be fourth fourth and about one bill parcells has an interesting call right here i know what he's going to do he's already going for it you can see that fourth down he says let's go that's unusual that is but yeah my decision would be either to go for the field goal or for this one and i think what the heck my field goal kick was not doing real well and i would probably do the same thing although phil sims wasn't sure of the plane he just took a timeout [Applause] i think dallas took that time out john they had too many people on the field they couldn't get them off lionel manuel came up with the completion everson walls on the coverage a 10-yard gain that's that organized scramble play but it's from the shotgun what sims gets here runs out to the right he has the center leading see kevin belcher 73. he leads him out there manuel does about a 10 yard out boom whaps him right there i'll tell you when you call it on fourth down this is what you go through yeah i know we can do it coach [Music] six out of nine for sims those will make the stomach tighten up when you get too many of those fourth downfall morris on the play that was so effective last week against washington the trap right up the middle well i think that joe morris is the type of back that is going to be effective in the second half i don't think he's the type of running back that you pound to the type the defense up with wear him down a little then you start using his quickness and speed in that second half second down about six there's joe morris three touchdowns last week tied a team record shared by four or five others second down and six sims back to throw jeff cote on the rush pass is tipped away michael downs got the hand on it boy he's having a good year he is tom landry was telling us last night about michael downs he said that of all his defensive players he's saying that he's he's been the best and most consistent player all year we see this sims really does have a lot of confidence and sometimes you can get so much confidence as we see downs tip that ball that you try and put that ball in places that it can't go bob brunei got a hand on it first he tipped it then downs tipped it and then it fell into the end zone that's the second one of those double tippers the last double tipper by the cowboys resulted in zeke mohawk catching the ball crowd coming to life sims coming out of the pocket this time to his left lionel manuel was open in the end zone sims just didn't quite get it to him fellows was on the coverage but daniel was open i'll tell you this guy is really going to be something this lionel manuel before it's over because he not only has speed but he has the quickness watch the move that he puts here on fellas he gives him that out thing like i'm going out then he makes that quick move back up the field and the ball was just up that was a heck of a move though he did that same thing in the first and the first time the first meeting for a touchdown right the sheik from 38 yards this time rutledge is holding he's got it again [Applause] the sheik is back on track he's two for two today the giants lead at six nothing first quarter 412 left to play [Applause] 38 yards and he's about to kick off now the giants lead six nothing with 412 remaining in the first quarter it's gonna be chuck nick swain from his home two got some room again to the 35 fiream hunt got him down but mcswain has come up with two outstanding kickoff returns that one was 32 yards cowboys take over chuck mcswain [Music] cowboys have had one offensive sequence that's all danny white is their quarterback four minutes left to play in the first quarter at texas stadium the giants lead it six nothing your set and springs the two running backs big important now they only have one running back [Music] crosby moves right screen to door santa he's got some room harry carson finally made the stop but not before dorset picks up 19 yards on the screen pass you know it was interesting pat in practice yesterday when we watched the cowboys practice their offense against the giant these are the only plays that they practice they practice screens screens writes and screens left [Applause] i still think john that they're one of the best screening teams in the league don't you and as you say you know the reason i think is because they work they spent their whole practice yesterday just working on screen passes [Music] [Applause] fell on it he just never found the handle [Music] that's one of the things when you pitch the ball you know that you do have that problem it's not quite as safe but that's a good pitch that pitch got there looked like it just hit tony dorsett right in the uh in the chest he just couldn't get it there the giants they get in there and reasons comes up with it gorset of course has had a problem in fumbling last week he fumbled two so the giants get the ball at their own 49-yard line they lead six nothing already three left to play other scores detroit leads philadelphia 7-3 second quarter tampa bay 7-3 over minnesota still in the first quarter the bears lead the raiders 7-0 first quarter cleveland over buffalo three nothing [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] to run bates struggles with him victor scott also involved but carpenter got about five yards you know one interesting thing about the mixture here is that on on eight first down so far this game the giants have yet to pass on first down looks like they want to run on that first down play and then come back on second down and go to the pass which is just opposite what they did last week i think what they have to do is mix it's not a bad way to start but i don't think you can do that all day against cowboys harpinger tries it again and he'll have the first down as randy white drags him down but carpenter had a good hole over the left side and now it'll be interesting to see what they do here this is the ninth first down let's see if they're gonna throw or run it let's watch billiard here against randy white i think it looks like at the start of the game that art is doing a pretty good job on white now white was stunning that way it wasn't that hard knocked in that way white was starting that way starting to his right art took him that way and the white came back underneath the giants moved to the cowboy 39 first down another run on a draw play john dutton wrestles with carpenter but he still surges for about five more right now for an update let's switch you back to new york had a long 87-yard drive by the saints and it was wayne wilson his fourth touchdown of the season and the saints hold the lead right now on the green bay packers 7-0 that summer all john madden at texas stadium where the giants are at the cowboy 35 they lead six nothing already sims to throw wide open as his tight end zeke go up and walls on the stop but moet got a first down and he's still down looks like moat was hit right on the knee as he was tackled there this would be some blow to the giants they only have two tight ends zeke moat and tom malady oat of course is an excellent blocker and it's developed into quite a pass receiver yeah we can see right here you see he's going to get hit right there you see he has his left knee planted he has his left foot planted and he got hit by everson walls right on the knee moat has caught three passes for 47 yards so far but he's still down does the giants lead at six nothing got it off the field so apparently he just got stung a little bit first down giants at the cowboy 29 melody has replaced milan morris gets to the outside gets around the corner joe morris michael downs took him out of bounds but morris sweeps for a first down 19-yard gain that's one thing that the giants have needed you know a running back that can get to the outside now watch more as he starts inside that brings the defense in holds him and then boom he just pops it to the outside and it's a it's just a race between he and michael downs to the sideline there carpenter got a good block out front again excuse me first and goal for the 10. morris scrambles for about three i uh was hitting the line of scrimmage by randy white couldn't keep him down michael downes made sure [Music] he's three carries for 26 yards joe parcell said yesterday but we were talking with him an interesting thing i thought he said he wasn't sure that this team was ready to be a contender he didn't mean talent-wise he just meant i'm not sure they can handle it emotionally well you know he's been talking about that the ups and downs of this team they'll get going they'll win a game and then everyone says boy we got a great team and and then next week they don't play as well and he wants it you know every week to be a good team that's the end of the first quarter at texas stadium take a look at the first quarter statistics and look at that bottom one that time of possession look at those total yards first downs eight to one is back at tight end by the way here's joe morris loses the ball cowboys get it dexter clinchdale comes up with a loose football [Applause] hey guys your bullet they did it's an interesting thing i think the middle linebacker bob brunic was the first guy there watch number 53 he gets a good read and a jump the minute he sees that play he runs right into the hole now watch morris tries to put the ball away and as brunei hits him square boom the ball pops out i'll tell you that was a heck of a read by bruning watch him he's going to come right in that hole that's the reason he's in there tom landry says he has a bad back he says we'll play lockhart most of the game except we need brunig in there to get our defense started and he just did on that play doris said it springs the two runners back in their own end zone handoff is the spring who gets outside to five to about the seven jim bert made the stop i'll tell you that's one of those type of plays that can really change change your game you know the giants are sky high they have everything going they're running their pass and they're doing everything the cowboys they have their backs up they're going down things aren't going well and boom you get that big play that can lift the cowboys maybe take a little out of the giants doug donnelly has replaced mike renfro that's the way tom landry gets the plays in by shuffling those two back and forth two tight ends and off the springs [Applause] how about the nine reasons on the stop right now for an nfl update let's go back to brent musburger in new york pat monty clark has to be more creative with billy sims out so watch this play from the shotgun the handoff to jones danielson leaves as a receiver jones has got him and the lions have got their second touchdown against the eagles it is now 14-3 back to patent giant [Music] here it's six nothing as the cowboys have just recovered a fumble by the giants joe morris and it's third and four at their own nine [Music] white rush gets out of the end zone manages to buy a little time casey merrill came in and put the pressure on [Music] danny white very nearly as safety i think the first guy there is leonard marshall number 70. he did a spinner in there and he there's number 70 right there he's the first guy that breaks through he's the guy that makes danny white originally put the ball down then he has to scramble so john warren will have to punch excuse me john oh later marshall he ran one of those spinner moves for a start and he spun around his blocker warren is punted one time 37 yards standing right at the back of the end zone [Music] yard line shakes away from a couple of people carl howard made the stop as mcconkey had a one-yard return after a 34-yard punt by warren and again the giants find themselves in good shape they already lead six nothing with 12 52 left to play in the first half leading six nothing lionel manuel was the man in motion sims under pressure this throws the ball into the pack and they're gonna call him for intentional grounding [Applause] [Music] i think it was going to be some kind of screen pass in here see he fakes the carpenter and now he's going to roll no it wasn't a screen pass he was going to throw down the middle there was just no one open he just threw it in the middle of a big pile of alignment big piles of linemen don't count for anything big piles of linemen are penalty they lose the down they lose 10 yards so it'll make it second and 20 back at midfield like that if nothing else works just throw it into big piles alignment and take the penalty that's the first time they've thrown on first down or tried to and off morris he gets away from klingsdale picks up about eight yeah jones finally got him down right now for another nfl update let's take you back to brent busberger in new york without an impressive performance by james wilder the tampa bay buccaneers he scored earlier from six and here from two yards out the bucks are dominating minnesota right now it's 14-3 back-to-back score here is six nothing giants over dallas 12 20 left to play first half third and 13. [Applause] [Music] michael downs it comes from the left side the right side of the cowboy defense you see him they started to rush they're bringing the full blitz on this one and the guy who knocked it down was michael downs that looked like one of those basketball things where you know the two guys goes up the one guy's gonna stop and basketball to call it rejection that was a rejection downs rejected sims it might be pro bowl time for down on the player simply did not blow the whistle ready for play [Music] that didn't blow the whistle ready for play jennings first punt gary allen lets it bounce the giants are gonna down and don't get away from them 43-yard punt no return they'll bring it back to the 20. they almost had it at about the one-yard line and it got away pete shaw was the man down there fighting it six nothing the giants over dallas scale comes from the inside then downs looping around coming in that same hole but look at how he got up and in front of phil i think that the giants are going to see a lot of that blitz today they've already seen a bunch of it they lead six nothing they've had some chances a lot of chances that lead could be a lot bigger [Applause] byron hunter finally brought him down let's check out the scoreboard new orleans seven green bay three second quarter the bears over the raiders 14 nothing that's in the second quarter peyton just scored in fact he scored them both san diego 10 indianapolis nothing second quarter that exciting contest there cleveland and buffalo three nothing if the bears can hold up and beat the raiders today that'll that'll give him a heck of a lot of confidence that they'll take through the whole year they've been playing great defenses white taylor's on a blitz mike gets rid of it to cosby and it's complete saying it was a sack and then he was in the grass leonard marshall danny white is still down taylor and marshall chased him and danny's still down danny white was hurt on that one he was hit as you say by both lawrence taylor and leonard marshall on that one [Applause] he got rid of the ball you know the interesting thing about that play you will see lawrence taylor coming from the outside cosby was a blocker and anyone had a made to play but watch him keep coming there's marshall on him they get him going down they get him the old high low i think where he was injured right there is number 70 marshall just falling down on him he got up his initial reaction was grabbing that left wrist they both fell on top of him let's watch it again now cosby will come in here cm 84 is a blocker he blocks that's a fake run now he's going to work out there he becomes the the receiver watch danny white there's marshall on him quite low and he gets it when he goes down he's still being looked at by the doctor over on the back of the bench in the meantime gary hokeboom has come in at quarterback for the dallas cowboys [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] springs is wide open midfield terry canard made the stop danny white still a little woozy as you say gary hogan came in he didn't have any time to warm up but i think that he knew that he might play maybe he's a little more relaxed not being a starter because he sure comes in there finds ron springs right down the middle and he really looked relaxed on that play he wasn't forcing her or tight or anything to come in boom right down the field 29 yard pickup cowboys moved to midfield reverse coming i say stanley with some room bert trips him up looked like they get more than that picked up about five i'll tell you that was a heck of a play by the nose tackle jim bird on that play because doug donnelly really had a line out here and if bert doesn't make that play it's going to be a big one watch your nose tackle jim burt the reverse starts to his right now watch he stop he stops he sees it there now here comes donnelly watch burt he doesn't go forth down he runs straight down the line straight down the line and makes a tackle there for a five-yard game that's a heck of a play by a nose packer loses the ball dallas got it back this fumble the exchange from rafferty [Applause] andy white is up and walking around now talking to dr marvin knight [Applause] third and five looks like some of the cobwebs might have disappeared the word on white is that he has a jammed left shoulder and they're checking to see whether he can continue to play tonight [Applause] newsom was the man in motion passes complete to timmy newson first down cowboys byron hunter [Applause] fast enough for a first down [Applause] that was an interesting play there they put timmy newsom out to the outside he lined up watch here's timmy newsome here he lines up as a wide receiver then he starts in motion comes up here and runs to the out watch this it's an interesting thing he lined up there like they had an eye formation outside see him then he starts in motion starts up the field now he knows how much he has for the first down you see that red marker there he runs just beyond that runs the out pattern for the first down there's the giant 39 here's dorsett looking for some room hit by gary reeses that only got about a couple you know when tom landry was telling us yesterday that he said you know we're going to start danny white but that doesn't mean that he's going to play the whole game he said we could very well start danny white then bring in hoga boom go back to danny white or maybe even hoga boom again i don't think he was thinking of this though these shoulderings were the danny white changing [Applause] doctors still checking on second down boom drops complete to ron springs they only got a couple yards however lawrence taylor on the stopper you know one interesting thing is we're saying how dangerous tony hill is he's been back three games for the cowboys and he's caught 24 passes in those three games but they haven't gone to him yet and i think that before it's all over he's going to be a pretty big part of this attack tony hiller is wide to the right being covered by hanes renfro has bit [Applause] [Music] 65 offense penalty here is danny white seemingly okay now throwing and talking to the medical people again you know we've talked about things improving in the nfl over the years and that's thing that's one thing that has really changed improved is the medical attention that these players get they have regular doctors and so now it looks like you know he has his helmet but he's going in i think he's going in the locker room probably for an x-ray what do you say right incomplete intended for rent harry williams was back there with it that turns out to be a good thing that the cowboys brought in john warren because there goes their regular putter and they are i'm sure they're going in and they're going to take an x-ray of that left shoulder at danny white and then they can take a look at it right away [Applause] warren standing back at about his own 45-yard line mcconkie at the 10 for the giants number 80. [Music] 40-yard punt they'll bring it back to the 20 so they only net 20. 6 21 left to play in the first half at texas stadium and the giants continue to lead the cowboys by the score of six washington huskies meet the 18th ranked usc trojans this game could decide which of those two pac-10 powers receives a rose bowl burp that's next saturday 3 30 eastern time right here on cbs sports [Music] the giants over to cowboys starting from their own 20-yard line phil skins the quarterback rob carpenter is the lone setback fake the carpenter lionel manuel trying to get deep everson walls was right with him the old stop and go jupiter [Music] i think billy yards doing a pretty good job in here against randy white watch randy white number 54. we can see why art's doing a good job because white is being double-teamed he's having help from us from a center kevin belcher you see 73 come over hit him then art backs up and they just take turns bumping randy white white sees a lot of that oh yeah that's got to be frustrating double team all the time second down carpenter on the draw he's got no place to go jim jeff coach and randy white converge i think randy white took his frustration out on billiard that time watch him he's right here watch him jump out he just hits art up underneath the shoulder badge knocks him about three yards into the backfield and then goes in and gets on carpenter that's the way you take on a guard in a pit just lift them up knock it three yards back and get your attention all right that'll clear the sinuses third and thirteen the blitz is on downs is on sims and sends us down nobody picked him up as i said i think that's going to be a big part of today's game one how successful the blitz will be and to how successfully the giants can pick up the blitz because they're bringing a whole batch look at that left side they're bringing so many guys the guys in the white jerseys the cowboys are fighting to find a hole to run into they're bumping into each other trying to get in those gaps jennings doesn't get it all gary allen he's got some out of room [Applause] [Music] giants frank cephas got him out of bounds 35-yard punch yard return and the cowboys take over deep in giant territory [Applause] at the 30. next sunday doubleheader the nfl today begins it of course new orleans at atlanta detroit washington philadelphia miami san francisco and cleveland and the second game will be either the giants at tampa bay and dallas st louis they've changed the starting time on that game so it's a late game and john madden i will be there at saint louis next week hoga boom is going to work on first down wide open is tony hill touchdown well you know it was just a matter of time before they started to go to tony hill he's the guy as tom landers said he's the guy on our offense that scares the defense watch a little play fake to the right turn back find tony hill running a post pattern and he's wide open no one around him he can get open he knows how seption with hoga boom holding gives dallas the lead it's 7-6 they went 30 yards and that one play it took the scout boys five seconds to get on top of the scoreboard 7-6 they leave with 5 11 left to play first half at texas stadium cowboy seven giants six that's the scoring drive as you can call that a drive phil mcconkey's in the middle number 80. oldest rookie in the nfl since all britain knocked him out of bounds here's the way the eastern division of the nfc stands right now and how tight it is dallas and st louis tied at 6-3 they play each other next week in st louis the giants just a game behind washington just a game behind and philadelphia four and five certainly not out of it now we get to the place in the season where every game is a big game this is the time that the the teams are going to be in in the playoffs they start making their move they start putting those three and four game winning streaks together here you have to do that [Applause] byron williams was the intended receiver rob fellows on the coverage it's funny the uh the cowboys now have gone to that 4-0 defense darn near extensively in this game that was a first down play they were into 4-0 there they very well could play the giants the whole game in their four row or in their fast defense the whole game so you see who plays the middle linebacker that's bill bates bates and thurman also come in carpenter is the lone setback for the jazz and he gets the ball fights his way to the outside gets to the 30 and they'll make it through down however his fates and jim jeffcoat make the stop along with randy white i'll tell you bates is one of those guys just loves to be in on every tackle watch him now he's taking on the center he takes on belcher there plays off the center where is that well there it is let me see is there a football down in here i'll tell you you know when they made up football and defensive guys and stuff i think that's he's kind of the prototype of who they had in mind really she spent most of training camp on the injured list he's only been back like four weeks now but he hadn't lost the knack that he had third down and complete intended for byron williams with good coverage by downes and victor scott i'll tell you what sims is complaining about is it looks like like right here he thought there was pass interference but even before that bates knocked down tony galbraith he saw goldbrite's going his arm go down jennings gets off a rocket but they'll bring it back i'll tell you here's here's what phil sims was complaining about watch number 40 bill bates tony graubrath will come out there you see him there and he just he just knocks golf right then he tries to trip him then he finally goes down i think that's who sims wanted to throw to it so in terms of saying hey you can't do that you can't knock the guys trip them and stuff [Music] good [Music] gary allen gets it back to the cowboy 35-yard line 358 left to play in the first half 7-6 cowboys over the giants remember next week number one the number one ranked washington team the huskies against number 18 usc trojans washington wins they can clinch the rose goldberg live third 3 30 eastern time there's a flag down on that last play gene barth will tell us all about it first down cowboys their own 35. [Music] hoga boom to tony hill was the only touchdown of the game the first touchdown pass this year by hoga boom to a wide receiver this was the first ball thrown to tony hill in this game and his first catchport for him harry williams the defender the crowd thought there was pass interference but i think it was uncatchable it probably was because uh perry williams did hit tony hill before the ball got there that was one thing you know bill parcells was telling us about perry williams he said he has good speed he said he can outrun the ball in the air he said he has one problem he has a little stiffness he's not real quick on the brakes and therefore he may come up with a lot of fast interference penalty [Music] [Applause] mark gaines knocked him out of bounds you know last week the giants had an interesting defense against the redskins they played lawrence taylor in the middle they covered all the other alignment and had lawrence taylor as a middle linebacker roaming right and left and it was very effective bill parcell said now we could do that a week ago because a running back was reagan's and he couldn't outrun us to the corner he said we can't do that against the cowboys because tony dorsett can outrun us to the corner he can run outrun just about anybody to the corner [Applause] [Music] this is springs who has the first down the play was a little bit slow developing it looked out of sync but they still got the first [Applause] looked like gary hogan kind of tripped coming out of there he was kind of fumbling around and he finally got it out to sims let's see if we can watch it here but it did look like it started pulling now watch him he kind of comes out there pogba boom as he brought the ball back darn near fumbling then sometimes those things even work springs did a heck of a job to get that first down you're set right straight ahead for a couple not much room has to be a very difficult day for number 33 fathers we said earlier had a stroke friday night and uh tony has missed the last two days of practice to be with his dad green bay has taken the lead over new orleans 10-7 second quarter detroit 17-6 over the eagles 14-10 tampa bay over minnesota 7-6 here okabum is out of the pocket to cosby who makes the stretching and leaping cats we're he wouldn't have caught it [Applause] that's why those quarterbacks like those big tight ends because there's always going to be some traffic watch this is a bootleg pass hoka boom fakes to the left rolls out to the right but look at crosby is that six foot seven guy he goes up there to about seven foot two that's hogaboo he said go get him we got that one i think jerry canard as he hit doug cosby at the end of that play he was he was shaken up and he's out of there now and larry flowers is in at the free safety terry canards had a sore toe already sent [Music] [Applause] now he's going to take off with it himself takes an official down he's knocked out of bounds bodies flying over there in that sideline you know what it was it was a screen pass it was going to be a screen pass to tony dorsett to the right and tony dorsett got caught up and couldn't get out there so hoga boom ended up having to keep the ball so now we have the two-minute warning as dallas leads 7-6 [Music] minute 54 left to play in the first half cowboys leading 7-6 giants have two field goals by ali hodge's sheep and the cowboys have a touchdown pass and gary holgaboom will replace the injured danny white to tony hill [Applause] olga boone running for his life penalty markers go down hopefully still on his feet cornwell catches the past inside the five-yard line but this has got to be holding yeah it looked like the giant players when they saw those flags come down thought it was a whistle they kind of slowed up pogba boom kept going it is holding against the cowboys holding 65 offense it will still be second down after a 10-yard penalty [Music] that was a right guard kurt peterson and that could have been on jim burke because burke was running through there chasing the quarterback and that flag they threw two flags right at him it looked like the giants kind of held up thinking maybe that was a whistle the volga boom scrambled out of there and got the ball down to cornwell had it not been for the penalty cowboys would have it first and goal 22-yard gain wiped out blockers stopped with a minute 43 left to play in the second quarter at second and 19. it's going with a four million rush front over boom tony hill [Applause] barry williams on the coverage flags are down again there's another holy penalty going to be called against the cowboys and it was that right right in that same area as the last one thrown again by the referee the referee is behind the quarterback that's gene barth second holy that's the other offensive guard glenn titan saw giants have refused that penalty usually the guy that calls the holding is the umpire the guy behind the defensive line and we had two in a row called by the referee i think i would have taken that penalty and put him back another ten because they're very close to raphael septien's range here all they have to get is about five more yards and set the end is garnier automatic third and 19. okay will operate out of this spread here comes a giant twist in the direction of mike grimfrow what is the giants really are putting some pressure on hogable and i was surprised at that cowboy play there because they had about 20 yards to go for a first down i was surprised they just didn't try and pick up five or six and get in that field goal range for septien because now they've tried to throw the deeper pass incomplete and now they have to go for the punt warren will stand just about at midfield i've been surprised it didn't take the family surprise it wouldn't be a lot of surprising stuff [Music] [Applause] he just missed it dallas seven giant six coming up at halftime don't forget scores and highlights with brent nerve the nfl today and irv has his feature on fast company story about sprinters like willie gault and ronaldo nehemiah who have turned wide receivers and how they're doing i had one of those you know i had cliff branch with the raiders who was a sprinter but i've always felt that the big difference was if the guy was a football player who ran track like cliff branch was marshall walker was that type of guy they're very successful but it's tougher when you get a track man trying to play football although nehemiah's [Applause] [Applause] made the stop clock running a minute 16 left to play in the first half giants have all of their timeouts left cowboys have two now here comes five substitutions in for the cowboys and of course that's at 4-0 they're going to play pass and probably cover on second down and blitz on third down looks like their pattern second and nine sims has a man open ernest gray vince albritton took him down but the giants got enough for a first down again they have two timeouts remaining now they have to a two remaining they just took one while we have a minute let's run down all the scores everything we had get you up to date green bay 10 new orleans 7. detroit 17. philadelphia's six that's at the half also at the half it's tampa bay 14 minnesota nothing but minnesota 10. sorry chicago 14 the raiders nothing bears continue to play cliff defense san diego 17 indianapolis 7. curtis mcgriff being hauled to the locker room to report on curtis as soon as we can and we still have no more on danny white he went in for x-rays we're reasonably sure after injuring his shoulder but no further word this telecast is presented by the authority of the national football that gets intended for the private use of our audience any rebroadcast early use of the telecast without the express written consent of the dallas cowboys and the national football league is prohibited giants at their own 35 cowboys leading 5.76 sims the gray complete and out of bounds good catch good throw anderson walls on the coverage 18-yard gain as the giants move into dallas territory i'll tell you that was a heck of a catch here by ernest gray i mean he extended himself all the way now watch him here he's running an out pattern right on here in the sidelines but watch your balls here and watch how he gets all the way out with his hands i think he just stops them off right there perfect throw first down giants the cowboy 48 39 seconds left to play in the first half both teams still with two timeouts remaining [Applause] sims in that rollout again got some giants in his face and finally just throws it out of bounds good coverage good coverage by the cowboys curtis mcgriff has back spasms what's lionel manuel there he was the guy he was trying to throw to he was double covered and he fell down you see and he just kept working but there was nothing he could get but the reason the sims had to throw the manual because he was sprinting out that way he was sprinting out to the left and he was his only receiver there in the sideline that'll make it second and ten still at the 48. cowboy short and glitz sims waiting for his wide receivers they don't just show it they do it incomplete lionel manuel was the intended receiver i think that there was probably some kind of audible because they had both earnest gray and lionel manuel in the same area this is what the giants are going to have to pick up look at that that all out blitz they got they're bringing four four extra guys four defensive backs in there and they're putting a big push on simmons now watch you see they have the two receivers right here in the same area so someone had to be wrong that'll bring up a third down situation [Applause] what the cowboys are doing and those glitches are bringing that four linemen plus four linebackers bringing a total of eight this time they back off to gray and complete there's a penalty marker down everson walls on the coverage but a flag is down he's going to be holding against the giant system 23 seconds remain 63 offense holding penalty refused fourth down dallas refuses the penalty and it'll make a fourth down and dave jennings will come on giants now zero for seven on third down conversion since started off but has had problems with gary allen is back deep [Music] dave decide not to handle it it goes out of bounds with 15 seconds remaining 30 yard bud by jennings 30 yard net by jennings only one thing in this game both teams have been moving the ball they've been going up and down the field and there's only been one touchdown scored in this first half cowboys lead seven to six after all that offense by the giants remind you again that's coming up at halftime scores and highlights with britain nerve feature on fast company [Music] first in 10 15 seconds left to play cowboys ball at their own 18. they'll probably just knock it down and off to springs and that should do it for the first half [Music] mary carson on the bottom of the pile along with the giant dallas leading the giants 7-6 in a strange game so far as john madden was pointing out there's been a lot of offense but not many points 7-6 they leave that's tom rapper to the offensive center who's being helped off the field 7-6 dallas over the giants
