00:00:00I think he knows that and I think he welcomes it and we talked to all the players in New England Joe
00:00:03They can't wait for this game
00:00:05Well, not only that a lot of the Rams players have never seen Bill Belichick style of defense
00:00:09So it's going to be new and I would expect the first quarter to be a little bit of a sparring match
00:00:14Until both of them figure out what exactly they want to do. Tron candidate back to receive
00:00:20He has blinding speed and that's bad news for New England's cover team
00:00:24They are the worst in the NFL. Incidentally, the Rams are next to last in that category. They are giving up 30
00:00:32point-six yards of return
00:00:35Adam Vinatieri to kick it away for the Patriots
00:00:41And we are underway in Foxborough
00:00:45Candidate from the four
00:00:47Reverse
00:00:49And it doesn't work
00:00:51Mike Lawrence goes deep in the playbook to start with yo Murphy
00:00:55Gets the handoff and taken down by to Bucky Jones on offense. The Rams will rely on Marshall Falk
00:01:03I believe he's got to get 150 yards from the line of scrimmage passing and running Ryan Tucker
00:01:08He's got to handle the heat Michael Strahan almost had his way with them when they played the Giants and Kurt Warner
00:01:13He's thrown seven interceptions in the last two games. He's got to protect the football tonight against the Patriot defense
00:01:21Kurt Warner on the year leading the NFL in completion percentage and yards coming into the weekend
00:01:28He's ranked fifth in the league in quarterback rating
00:01:38Warner throws that may have been tipped at the line of scrimmage knocked away by Roman Pfeiffer
00:01:43The linebacker who was up in a defensive end spot and on the defensive side from doing the page boy
00:01:49Contain Marshall Falk if that's possible
00:01:51I mean, he's got to just mirror this guy and be with him, especially on a run again and on the short pass again
00:01:55Don't let him get deep Willie McGinnis. He's in there as a starter
00:01:58Disrupt warners rhythm not necessarily knock him down, but at least get into space and then tie law
00:02:03He's going to be on Isaac Bruce all night long wherever he goes
00:02:07Who's this time planks to the near side?
00:02:15Blitz coming Warner has it batted again
00:02:19This time it's Otis Smith coming off the corner and this defense is sky-high
00:02:24It's not only sky-high
00:02:26But what you're seeing is that the Patriots are not going to sit back and let the Ram offense take them apart
00:02:33Nice job by Otis Smith timing his jump and keeping an eye on Kurt Warner. We've seen two passes
00:02:40Short passes two balls batted down look for Mike
00:02:44To put it up down the field where the guys rushing won't have an easy time getting to it
00:02:49I'd say here our team comes in as the third wide receiver is number 81
00:02:57Good protection for Warner
00:03:00Bruce
00:03:02to midfield and in the New England territory
00:03:05Time law made to tackle but nobody is going to be able to cover Isaac Bruce that long
00:03:10Boy I'll tell you what when you give Kurt Warner anytime
00:03:14He's going to complete it, but when you give him all the time watch this
00:03:17There isn't a blue jersey even close to Kurt Warner
00:03:21Look at that offensive line and Kurt just waits for Isaac Bruce to work against high law. You're right Paul
00:03:27He may be able to cover him in a short distance
00:03:29But not when Kurt has a week back there to look for and Warner one of the most accurate passes of all time
00:03:35The deep man in the eye, he'll get the toss
00:03:43And
00:03:50You saw the great pass blocking of the Rams two plays ago
00:03:55They start up front with Orlando pace the first pick in the 96 draft and Frank Garcia filling in for the injured Tom Newton
00:04:02Andy McCollum is the center Adam Timmerman the seven-year veteran with 88 career starts and Ryan Tucker
00:04:10the right tackle
00:04:14Second and 12
00:04:21Short set again, and this one is dropped right in the hands of Torrey home
00:04:26If the st. Louis Rams have an Achilles heel
00:04:30It is the fact that they throw the ball so much they they drop balls drop balls when they're wide open Torrey
00:04:36Holt wide open inside
00:04:38Perfectly thrown pass and it's knocked down when they get behind in games or when they struggle
00:04:44It's because their receivers don't hang on to the football
00:04:48third and twelve
00:04:50Three
00:04:55Three wide receivers
00:04:58Tight end and one setback
00:05:01Blitz coming pressure on Warner throws over the middle of Bruce, but it's well short. They stop him at the 46 yard line
00:05:10Law with excellent coverage again when you see Kurt Warner stand that long first of all
00:05:15It's a nice job by the offensive line
00:05:17But the other thing that he's getting is multiple looks from this New England defensive secondary
00:05:22And he's just not sure where he wants to throw it
00:05:26Troy Brown
00:05:31Now Brown trotting up
00:05:35Gives them an indication they might have a trip play
00:05:41So nobody
00:05:44And paper with a low line drive kick
00:05:47Then we'll go inside the 10-yard line be down to the 8 a 38 yard kick no return
00:05:53So the Rams Kurt Warner Marshall Falk and company come up empty on their opening drive
00:06:01The New England secondary and if you heard the beginning of our broadcast if you're an athlete if you're a competitor you want to face
00:06:08the best
00:06:13Oh
00:06:27And that's what the Patriots gonna have to do on offense get the ball up the field Antoine Smith
00:06:32I think he needs his third
00:06:33100-yard plus rushing game to be able to offset any rush that the Rams might bring Troy Brown
00:06:38All he does is make first downs
00:06:41Second in the AFC and receptions going into tonight's game and Tom Brady. He's got to be a playmaker. He's got to make plays
00:06:55This one a fight for the seven-yard line threw it into a group
00:07:01Well, this is supposed to be a screen. I
00:07:04said supposed to be
00:07:06Scandina and a Honda to new was the screen before Troy Brown did well you you get to see what Troy Brown sees all those
00:07:12people around there
00:07:14They're just nowhere to go. That's one of those things you air mail it somewhere
00:07:17Well, that's one of those balls when you get all that all those people around it. You better off dropping it
00:07:37Brady steps up goes Paul McClellan with the interception right through the hands of Kevin
00:07:45Dexter McClellan with a gift
00:07:48Interception. Well, here's it is an opportunity two things can happen here one
00:07:53Brady could have run the ball and might have been able I said might have been able to pick up the first down here goes
00:07:57Brady look at the center of the field
00:07:59There is just nobody in the center of the field now
00:08:01He just throws a hard ball to fuck and it goes up in the air now
00:08:04He's got to make that catch that you think he has an opportunity for a first down
00:08:09You didn't see it right there, but it really goes right through his hands bounces off his chest and the Ram defense
00:08:15very opportunistic early in this football game the load falls back again on New England's defense
00:08:22McClellan with his third pick of the season
00:08:25Last year he had eight
00:08:28Oh
00:08:30Nice cutback inside the 15-yard line Bobby Hamilton got him around the ankles
00:08:38Marshall
00:08:38You know when you look at him Michael the things that he does and the first thing that anyone ever says about him are their
00:08:44Coaches all of their players and everybody that knows him. He is a very very smart football player
00:08:5040 catches
00:08:53All the time he has missed
00:08:565.7 a carry
00:08:59And last week in the first half alone again 183 yards rushing against Carolina
00:09:06Now that has to qualify as a gadget play
00:09:10As they've got Ernie Conwell the fullback or the tight end in the backfield and give him the ball and Anthony Pleasant
00:09:18I talked to Mike Marks down on the field and he said Ernie Conwell is so important to this offense
00:09:24Other tight ends may get the catches, but he is so vital to what we do
00:09:28We use him out of the backfield as you saw we use him as a pass receiver, but he does a great job
00:09:35He didn't evolve one more time like that. He won't be a vital part of this. He falls into the Jim Finn category
00:09:48Warner again great protection over the middle touchdown
00:10:01That was easy all the time in the world to sit in the pocket and look
00:10:05Troy Holt is the number 88 just watch this he's gonna end up with Ty Law
00:10:10Ty Law takes a deep man and there it is man to man look at this throw
00:10:14And that was a little bit behind a little bit
00:10:19You got a guy
00:10:25Not only have all day
00:10:27There wasn't a defender within five yards of him. He gets a perfect look at everything
00:10:31He throws a strike to Torrey all the brands on top in a hurry
00:10:38Is up here of just old churches and there's magnificent architecture
00:10:49Kevin
00:10:59Tom Brady has had one series through one interception back
00:11:06What's a nearly perfect five touchdowns no interceptions including tonight
00:11:18Pitches way out to the 28-yard line
00:11:23Through blood so the three-time Pro Bowl a severe chest injury the 13th of September
00:11:30Without him from 93 to 2,000 the team was 1 in 6
00:11:35It says something about Tom Brady that without him this year
00:11:38They are 5 and 2 but also says that he only missed seven games in that period of time
00:11:44He's done a couple of years ago when we had that broken finger
00:11:56Dives for the sticks the 35-yard line
00:12:00Williams were there defensively with the Rams have to do is grant was from he's got to get in Brady's face by that
00:12:05I mean, here's a young quarterback. Don't let him sit back here and get comfortable Adam Archuleta stop Antoine Smith
00:12:11He was not at the line of scrimmage to do it on that plate
00:12:12That's what he's got to do at Aeneas Williams
00:12:15Don't let a big play get deep on him and I can assure you that Aeneas Williams as far as he is does not allow
00:12:21That won't happen. It won't happen
00:12:23eight new starters on that Ram defense
00:12:26Including Aeneas Williams, they come in fourth in the league defensively
00:12:30Antoine Smith-McLeon has to make the tackle again, but not until he gets to the 39
00:12:38And one of the reasons this defense is better along with better personnel is that guy lovey Smith
00:12:44He told him the first day of training camp. Everybody runs to the ball
00:12:48I want 11 guys on the ball when somebody's on the ground, but if they don't do it even in practice
00:12:53They get yanked off the field and everybody runs to the ball
00:13:09Smith's after the 43 down to Susie Moore on that Durant defense Mike
00:13:14It's been a remarkable turnaround for the Rams day last year. They allowed the most points in the NFL
00:13:19471 they were trampled for an average of twenty nine point four a game this season almost two touchdowns
00:13:26From close to the bottom of the pack to top five
00:13:29But you know what lovey Smith still grades them out as a beer B minus plenty of room for improvement
00:13:35But again more on him. They view him as one of the most special people
00:13:39They have ever had the privilege of being coached by
00:13:42Susie every defensive player we talked to said so many good things about the defensive coaches while we Smith in the West
00:13:49I
00:13:50Respect it by the guys that play for them
00:13:53We're on a little flanker screen shakes one tackle gets out to the 45-yard line Adam Archuleta
00:13:59The rookies safety out of Arizona State made the tech
00:14:02You know we're talking that around defense Joe and these guys the first thing they say when you when you talk to an ES Williams
00:14:08And which one of those guys you know?
00:14:10What is the big difference because there are a lot of new players in ESPN one of which from being one of the guys who?
00:14:14Stay they said they start right with the coaching
00:14:16These are the guys that have made the difference in this team and one word describes the way
00:14:21They've been approaching it on both sides of the ball really is their detail oriented everybody has to be in specific spots
00:14:29Tom Brady four out of five so far, but only six yards in an interception and now movement up front
00:14:35Was it Joe Andrews either right guard or did the Rams jump first I?
00:14:43Believe it was Joe Andrews
00:14:46All start number six three offense, but you're penalty third down
00:14:51I like the fact that you have a young quarterback, and he's going to hard counts now some coaches are not willing to give that much
00:14:59Flexibility to a young quarterback Charlie wise the offensive coordinator feels like Tom Brady's got the full package
00:15:05There he is at the center position a little bit of hard down, but there goes the hut
00:15:10Rams nice discipline
00:15:13That's the problem sometimes
00:15:16The guys are
00:15:19Third and nine
00:15:23Brady steps up under pressure and goes down the sack to Leonard little he has nine
00:15:28This year boy does he get off the ball?
00:15:31Well, he just Robinson Randall who is the right side tackle, and he just goes around him
00:15:38It wasn't even slow down watch it coming from the top side bang right there just
00:15:44Don't slow the defensive end now. He's gonna get that
00:15:47Ken Walter to punt it away one of the most dangerous return men in the league is back there
00:15:55What's a beauty
00:15:58Back to the five
00:16:02No way to go
00:16:0657 yard kick no return Mike Vrabel the linebacker was down and pinned him at the sideline
00:16:15Back in a moment
00:16:19Bill Belichick said these guys are so explosive we have to be able to survive the initial onslaught
00:16:25It's seven to nothing right now for Mike March
00:16:28It is a 60 minute air show and this Mike March has a reputation for being ruthless the way you do that
00:16:34Is you go for the juggler? I wouldn't be surprised he goes play action and goes up top
00:16:39Oh
00:16:42Beautiful job of following his blockers all the way to the 13-yard line
00:16:48You look at classic run you look at him laughing
00:16:51He got in behind that offensive line the blockers in front of him, and he just didn't slow down
00:16:56Marshall Falk those were all the blockers are what he has to do
00:16:59And it was just kind of neat watching him Timmerman Tucker the right guard right tackle
00:17:05As a quarterback you have the best seat in the house when it's running back jumps on their back and just picks up nine yards
00:17:11They've had a lot of two tight end sets with Conwell and Robinson. They're in there right now
00:17:16Conwell in motion
00:17:18Falk and another toss
00:17:22Excellent blocking again just shy of the 20 will be a first down Ryan Tucker was out leading the play along with Robinson
00:17:30You cannot give
00:17:32You cannot give
00:17:34Marshall Falk this much slack look at Ryan Tucker number 50 as he pulls out the block
00:17:41Marshall Falk's going to get in behind him. There's 50 watches block baby, and there goes Otis Smith backwards
00:17:47Marshall Falk gets the first down. This is too easy and everybody out front
00:17:53James Hodgins
00:17:57Remember last week they rushed for
00:17:59337 yards rushed, but he didn't need to pass
00:18:04Warner down the middle of Bruce
00:18:07Great move by Reverend Ike after he made the catch got to the 45
00:18:11He makes it look so easy
00:18:14Even against one of the best like Ty Law and there's little things in plays that impress you obviously watch him
00:18:20Turn on a dime great change of direction get Ty Law running come on in catch the ball now watch who makes this tackle
00:18:28Willie McGinnis number 55
00:18:30Really only playing in his fourth game hustles all the way down the field from the line of scrimmage
00:18:35That reminds you of Javon curse with the Tennessee Titans
00:18:40Bruce 53 touchdown catches
00:18:48Warner snap go to rookie pole at midfield
00:18:53The sideline for Suzie
00:18:56Oh
00:18:57Mike when Kurt Warner arrived on the scene with the Rams Mike Mark said he's one of the smartest quarterbacks
00:19:02He had ever seen in fact
00:19:03He said sometimes he fixes things that Mike March would mess up you have to be smart to run this offense so many
00:19:10formations so many shifts
00:19:1245 new plays a week are put in place and Kurt says it definitely is complicated
00:19:18You have to be able to read things quickly
00:19:20He knows he's got the guys who can make the adjustments as long as everybody knows why they're running certain plays
00:19:25That's what the key is
00:19:31What a great tackle by Otis Smith stop them two yards shy of a first down
00:19:35This is where you see Marshall Falk all over the place
00:19:38We can't you see him any way he's leading this team and receiving he's in the slot out here
00:19:43Otis Smith is a man that's going to play on top of him
00:19:45He comes up and makes an excellent play we get Marshall Falk that much room
00:19:48He's gonna get a first down. He didn't there
00:19:50I think it against this offense to you have to be careful that your defensive backs are
00:19:55Disciplined not to want to come up to the line of scrimmage and make a play
00:19:59Does they throw long a lot on third and short?
00:20:03When I got everybody within six yards of the line of scrimmage look at this
00:20:07Look like offside rams. They throw it to Torrey Holt, but he was the guy who moved early
00:20:12He
00:20:15Knows he's gonna get the ball, so he's so excited. He wants to get out into the secondary as quickly as possible
00:20:21prior to the snap fall start
00:20:27It's two mistakes for Holt one was a drop ball that was a motion penalty
00:20:32I came right back in for a touch that but when you look at this defense you were absolutely right Joe
00:20:36They put the entire defense within six yards or 11 guys
00:20:39We were the Patriots within six yards of the line of scrimmage sometimes when you have a play that happens like that
00:20:46It's a non play, but yet the defense has shown what they want to do Mike March sees that standing on the sidelines
00:20:54So look for him to come back with something maybe to take advantage of this how close they are to the line of scrimmage
00:20:59As a hero Hakeem has a sprained ankle we expect him to come back in the ballgame at some point
00:21:06Yo Murphy is in as a fourth wide receiver on 37
00:21:17Warner picked up
00:21:22Nobody's gonna catch him
00:21:29What a time for your first
00:21:47Mike Barnes talking to Joe Murphy Joe Murphy doesn't play a lot number 83
00:21:53He is just in the way that was Isaac Bruce trying to really duck under the ball he ducked
00:22:05But that's gotta be about your fourth reaction isn't it ducking
00:22:10Especially when you're Isaac Bruce and you've got Kurt Warner throw in the football
00:22:16The Patriots defense the key to Phil Belichick's success throughout his career
00:22:22Has tied this one up?
00:22:34Candidate from the eight
00:22:37Just seem up the middle this guy can fly and takes it to a 37-yard line
00:22:42Let me show you what happens
00:22:44Isaac Bruce is going to come in here and he's going to run a crossing route Ricky Paul who's there?
00:22:48He's going to run a crossing route
00:22:50Isaac is going to duck and
00:22:53Terrell Buckley is just going to be right in the middle there goes the different look now there
00:22:57It is right there Terrell Buckley right in the middle
00:22:59Watch watch Isaac Bruce right through Willie McGinnis hands Isaac Bruce is ducking
00:23:05Because I believe he expects Ricky prole to be the receiver and here they are
00:23:10There's the conversation between Ricky prole and Kurt Warner and prole stopped his route
00:23:15That's why Terrell Buckley had the free shot
00:23:17Marshall Falk back to the line of scrimmage and no more
00:23:25Roman Pfeiffer again in on the tackle
00:23:27He's really solidified one of those linebacker spots Michael
00:23:31You brought up a terrific point that everybody that plays the Rams has to withstand that initial onslaught
00:23:38They have to get used to the speed with which the Rams play
00:23:42New England now has added momentum momentum because their defense has made some plays against the highly touted offense
00:23:50second and ten
00:23:54What's coming
00:23:56Intercepted again
00:24:10Gets intercepted and Isaac Bruce makes a tackle it saves the touchdown on brisky
00:24:15Kurt Warner's going to get pressure up the middle here comes the blitz
00:24:20He lets it go brisky does a beautiful job of just reading his eyes Marshall Falk's the intended receiver
00:24:26Teddy brisky making a play on the ball
00:24:30brisky second pick of the year
00:24:34Well what a great effort so far by the New England defense and they've got the ball at the Rams
00:24:45Play action by Brady
00:24:50Completely
00:24:54He ran a play-action pass and it froze the defense
00:24:57I mean it really froze they had a blitzer coming that stopped when he saw the play action
00:25:02But Troy Brown one of the most underrated receivers. There are a lot of receivers in this league. They can't make this catch
00:25:10There's the throw now watch the catch. This is not a perfectly thrown ball. That is long behind him. That's pretty
00:25:17What a fabulous
00:25:21Back to the ground Antoine Smith
00:25:27Well, he got all of that he could down to the 15-yard line
00:25:31You know what talking to Antoine Smith the other day and the thing about Antoine
00:25:35He says I know what my role is here. My role is first and second down. I carry the ball
00:25:39He said and I'm supposed to pick up anywhere between four and six
00:25:43So they're in the second down position this guy shows you some quickness and some get outside
00:25:48But I wouldn't necessarily qualify him as nifty
00:25:52On that play he looked more than nifty
00:25:56Well, the game has certainly been nifty so far
00:25:59That way in big-time offense has made two big-time mistakes in the first quarter and we are tied
00:26:13As
00:26:16You might expect the Rams continue to roll up the yards 106
00:26:24Turnovers the intersections at New England in the 7-7 tie and drive it
00:26:37Lady to the end zone tipped away and intercepted out of bounds by Kim Haring
00:26:44That's the McLeon made a nice play in the end zone
00:26:47Well, I'll tell you David Patton gets his hands on this one. He like Troy Brown both guys
00:26:53Not very big Patton only 510 does a nice job releasing on McLean watch this though
00:26:59Good job. You're right Dexter McLeon. Just tipped it a little bit Paulo XO's Hawkeyes, baby
00:27:05that those Hawkeyes
00:27:07I got my new glasses in
00:27:11Third and eight, let's come
00:27:15But a swing the fault tries to make a move to the inside
00:27:18What great instincts by Kevin Faulk who is a distant distant cousin of Marshall Faulk and some people say?
00:27:26He was better in the state of Louisiana as a high school player than Marshall Faulk was
00:27:31Who said that?
00:27:33They do the the ultimate the ultimate actually these guys they I want some names
00:27:41Kevin on the field he said of a distant distant cousin of Marshall's distant
00:27:46He showed a little Marshall right there by catching that ball getting back up
00:27:49Then a Terry who missed a pair a week ago. It's had a good year 13 out of 16
00:27:54This is from 28 yards for the lead
00:27:57And that looked like a false snap
00:28:00That might be against the Rams
00:28:06Centers are tricky
00:28:09And the thing about this is inside the ten it's half the distance of my correct
00:28:14It'll also be a first. Yes wait a minute if it's only half of a five-yard penalty that may not be a first down
00:28:20They're gonna be short. There's three yards away. They're outside the ten though. That'll be a first. It'll be a full five
00:28:26Lonnie Paxton was the snapper
00:28:29on the center
00:28:31And it looked like he double-clutched out. I thought you're sneaky right ago, and there's your sneaky great. I Eagle I
00:28:44Bella check wants to know what's the call watch the center's head?
00:28:48Right there in the middle Tim see that head go down. I
00:28:52Don't know what the problem is he can drop his head
00:28:55I think he moved his hands as well
00:29:09And he is perfect
00:29:13The Patriots on the strength of two turnovers have taken a 10-7 lead over the
00:29:19Orioles
00:29:22But knowing over st. Louis 1406 to go first half of one I hear I hear Chris say Michael, what does he say again about?
00:29:36Then it's area with the 33-yard field goal will kick the trunk
00:29:44From the five
00:29:49Near the 30, let's get out of this
00:29:52Mike the defenses came to play tonight a lot happened in the first quarter right off the bat Tom Brady trying to find Kevin
00:29:59Falk instead Dexter McLean with the interception and the Rams capitalized Warner to hold a 16-yard TD
00:30:08Warner a little bit of trouble against this defense's eighth interception in nine quarters and then Teddy Bruce who comes up with another one
00:30:15Adam Benetery the final points on the board is 10
00:30:19Susie across the board coaches will tell you
00:30:31Bruce he chases down Marshall fall
00:30:34Defensively what the Patriots are doing we talked about lovey Smith wanting the st
00:30:40Louis defense to run to the ball. That's exactly what you're seeing the Patriots do
00:30:44They're flowing down the line of scrimmage as Marshall Falk tries to work outside
00:30:49And not giving him any opportunity to cut up or cut back
00:30:52And I would look somewhere in this series or in this quarter for the Rams to run some type of a reverse
00:30:59To slow down this pursuit and they're playing without the brilliant linebacker Ted Johnson
00:31:04Who injured the knee in practice this week?
00:31:06Falk six carries 18 yards so far blitz coming
00:31:10And they'll whistle to play dead
00:31:20He'll leave you the referee
00:31:24Brady for offense I've got penalty second
00:31:29Monday night at 9 East of the Giants travel to Minnesota to face the Vikings on a
00:31:37Second and 13 New England showing blitz again
00:31:44Taking that about a yard shy of the first down at the 38-yard line
00:31:49You know I talked to Kurt Warner yesterday was Joe you in the other rooms talking to Marshall Falk because we weren't allowed in there
00:31:54Did you but anyway?
00:31:57How many times in the game do you out of the lines he said rarely
00:32:03Because I know where each guys going to be
00:32:08The primary target may change to three different guys three tight ends on third and one
00:32:15Marshall
00:32:17Falk to the 49-yard line now midfield first down
00:32:22Lawyer, Maloy the strong safety had to make the tackle at midfield, but it's a game of 12
00:32:29If lawyer Maloy doesn't make this tackle Marshall Falk is still running
00:32:34He gets through the line Teddy Brewski goes the wrong way watch lawyer Maloy just square up
00:32:39This is one-on-one in the open field
00:32:41And he just sticks him right between the two in the eight
00:32:45The job of the safety near the last line of defense
00:32:59He has five to the 45
00:33:03Marshall Falk since he came over to the Rams has rushed for 91 yards a game
00:33:07Receiving that's a hundred and fifty two yards in scrimmage yards each and every game in 45 touchdowns
00:33:16Score, so I bet you how you wonder they came up with that hundred and fifty yards that he has to get
00:33:20Scored chip at you how you wonder that came up with that hundred and fifty yards that he has to get
00:33:34We're most short set and Otis Smith went around Torrey hoping not gonna worked
00:33:41For some guys like Marshall Falk Michael Jordan the game comes easy we asked Marshall Falk why I
00:33:48I
00:33:49Kind of already know and you know what's going to happen. I have a great feeling for the game. I understand
00:33:56Not not only what I have to do
00:33:58But I can identify quickly what the defense is trying to do to stop me and then make adjustments to how can I be affected?
00:34:05And he's extremely bright and he's a great receiver Falk out of the backfield out of the 29-yard line
00:34:12From up here this looks so easy
00:34:15When he
00:34:16Threw this ball to Marshall Falk coming out of the backfield. Here's Marshall Falk. What's this?
00:34:21Look where the throw is. It is absolutely perfect. He leads him
00:34:26Catches the ball and picks up another six and you also get that mismatch that the Rams try and do Roman Pfeiffer at
00:34:33248 is not going to stay with Marshall Falk
00:34:45Warner under pressure and goes down at the 35
00:34:54You know Joe you're talking about mismatches with Falk
00:34:56I don't know of a linebacker in the National Football League that can run with Marshall Falk
00:35:01And I'll tell you one other thing there aren't many safeties either. Or corners. Yeah
00:35:06That was a nice job
00:35:09By Ty Law, Matt Stevens and to Bucky Jones all three safeties were back
00:35:14Where Kurt Warner wanted to put the ball up
00:35:18Second and 15 as we approach the 10-minute mark in the second quarter
00:35:28What's coming? Good job of picking it up and Holt is open
00:35:35There's a marker down on the play. LA game. They didn't get it off in time
00:35:40The late
00:35:50Those East German surplus microphones aren't working again
00:36:04Go up and whack him
00:36:09Now second and 20 for Kurt Warner
00:36:19Holt, overthrow
00:36:25Otis Smith in his 12th year bounced around a little bit. Always sort of winds up where Bill Belichick is
00:36:34Nice job he's up on Torrey Holt running one on one with him. Now watch the push by Holt
00:36:39Holt does a nice job of using his hands and the ball is just slightly overthrown. Otis Smith has been
00:36:46consistently good
00:36:49Played for Belichick with the Jets as Joe mentioned
00:36:53And the Rams have used a timeout with 9.28 to go
00:36:58Mike Martz and Kurt Warner will talk it over
00:37:04Look at Kurt Warner's pass distribution chart right in the middle where he's had the problems and the success
00:37:09I really believe that Warner right now isn't quite certain what the New England defense has given
00:37:18They come with another blitz. Holt
00:37:21First down and more. Torrey Holt to the 24-yard line. Check it, not a first down. The marker's at the 20. It will be 4th and 4
00:37:32Was that a nice move by Holt after he catches the ball and Warner getting the ball to him
00:37:36Well, they blitzed up the middle. Offensive line did a nice job of protecting it. They gave him a lot of room
00:37:42They weren't going to let him get a touchdown out of this. They were going to settle. Okay, fine. You want to try the field goal attempt?
00:37:47That's okay. We'll tackle it
00:37:49Wilkins has missed one kick in two years. He was perfect a year ago. 13 out of 14 this season. This will be from 42
00:38:01And it's wide
00:38:06So the Rams come up empty. They're still down 10-7 in Foxborough
00:38:22Marshall Falk is steaming. Mike Martz has just steamed his offense
00:38:28Two turnovers and missed field goal from the special teams. They're down by three
00:38:33Brady
00:38:35Another strike to Brown and Brown fights for extra yards. Game tackled. Let's go to Suzy
00:38:44Mike, this is no surprise to Lovie Smith
00:38:46The Rams defensive coordinator told me before the game that the Patriots receivers present the biggest challenge yet that they have faced
00:38:53They haven't played a team with two speedy receivers like Troy Brown and David Patton that can hurt you quick
00:38:58Two can go the distance. He said we're gonna have to be disciplined, Mike
00:39:02You know, Suzy Brown had always been considered a third receiver here. She had a breakout year
00:39:09Antoine Smith know where to go. Mark Field, free agent from New Orleans, who really helped him in linebacker, makes the stop
00:39:17Troy Brown
00:39:18Always a third receiver here
00:39:2155 catches this season coming into the game. Tied for fifth in the NFL. Eighth in the NFL in yards with
00:39:28703 starting the weekend. He's always been a good blocker. Will go over the middle. He is a fearless guy
00:39:42Mark Edwards, the fullback, flanked out on the far side of the field for Brady
00:39:47Throws underneath and it's the tight end, Ron Rutledge
00:39:51Came in with two catches this year
00:39:54He already has two tonight
00:39:55And I think against this style of defense, if you want to play the corners up and the safeties back
00:40:00The tight end has to have a presence. The backs have to have a presence in the middle of the football field
00:40:05Well with Antoine Smith, he's not going to get out necessarily in the pass routes. He'd be better off blocking, but Rutledge
00:40:13Making some plays for this offense
00:40:15Four-year man out of Alabama, 6'5", 265
00:40:23Kevin Faulk takes the direct snap
00:40:26A little trickery from the Patriots and Faulk a yard, yard and a half shy of a first down
00:40:33And I'll tell you what, you don't even take a chance here. You punt the football for the simple reason you can back them back
00:40:39Into the corner and that's where you need the Rams
00:40:42There's a direct snap to Faulk and he gets to the outside, he hesitates
00:40:47I understand he's waiting on a block, but the block developed a little bit late
00:40:50What great hustle from Grant Wistrom who got over there from the opposite side on the defensive end to make the tackle
00:40:57And stop him shy of the first down. The guy hustles every single play
00:41:02The Rams rookie Adam Archuleta able to come off under his own power
00:41:07This looks like it could have been a serious injury. Got that leg pinned under him
00:41:11Robinson Randle, the right tackle had pulled and drilled him into the ground
00:41:17And here's a huge play for New England. Fourth down and two
00:41:21From the 44-yard line
00:41:23I can't believe the game
00:41:25Yeah well, it's
00:41:27And the Rams have just used another chance
00:41:30And the Rams have just used another timeout
00:41:33In a conventional game against a conventional offense
00:41:37You might do conventional things
00:41:39Bill Belichick, is anything going to be conventional in this one?
00:41:43Well, Bill Belichick told us, he said field goals are not going to beat this football team
00:41:47But you're at the 44-yard line
00:41:49You're going to punt, you're not going to get the field goal
00:41:51Yeah I know, I'm just saying, what I'm saying is here
00:41:53If you lose this, you give the Rams a ball that really puts your defense in a bind
00:41:58And you've got still over six minutes to go in the second period
00:42:00I'm telling you, I don't like the call
00:42:02If in fact they're going to go for it
00:42:04I totally agree with you, but on the other side of it
00:42:06His defense is playing so darn well
00:42:08If they do pick up the first down
00:42:10It's just a little bit more added momentum for the home team
00:42:20It's Monday Night Countdown at 7.30 Eastern on ESPN
00:42:24The best place to get ready for Monday Night Football
00:42:26Then on ABC at 9, Cary Collins and the Giants travel to Minnesota
00:42:31To face Dante Culpepper and the Vikings on Monday Night Football
00:42:37They are out to go for it
00:42:40On fourth and two, and they will run the play
00:42:43They didn't try to draw him offside
00:42:45Brown underneath, first down and more
00:42:48Bill Belichick rolled the dice and it came up seven
00:42:53And he goes to his playmaker, Troy Brown
00:42:58Steady hands, excellent feet, good inside-outside move
00:43:03Now he picks it up, heads on down the field
00:43:06I tell you, Mark Edwards, the fullback was on the outside
00:43:10And he sealed off that hole inside and let Brown get outside
00:43:14Now I think he's giving a dose of Anton Schmidt
00:43:22Schmidt, the former Bill, gets the ball and balls his way to the 22
00:43:29Schmidt was a thousand-yard rusher in Buffalo
00:43:32Before injuries cut down his playing time, he was picked up as a free agent
00:43:37With Drew Bledsoe putting back on the active roster, able to practice
00:43:42Tom Brady just continues to do what he's done for this football team
00:43:46Over the last seven games, made good decisions and throw the ball accurately
00:43:51A very confident young man, Anton Schmidt again, lowers the shoulder
00:43:56He's got a yard and a half shy of the first down
00:43:59One thing about Anton Schmidt, he was with the Buffalo Bills
00:44:02And they just, they said he was injured
00:44:05And, you know, they just didn't like the way he ran the ball
00:44:08And they basically put him on the bench
00:44:10And I'm going to tell you one thing, we sat down and talked to him the other day
00:44:13The one thing about Anton Schmidt, he never once did he badmouth the Buffalo Bills
00:44:17He came here, he knew he had to practice here
00:44:19He knew what he's supposed to do, he knows what he's supposed to do
00:44:21And he doesn't
00:44:22He's an excellent football player
00:44:24And you don't think he enjoyed getting the hundred yards against Buffalo last week?
00:44:27Not good
00:44:28Schmidt now going for the first down and he's got it inside the 17-yard line
00:44:36What he's able, what New England is able to do now
00:44:40Is they are able to use the clock, they're able to run the football
00:44:44And they're able to control the momentum of this football game
00:44:47I think defensively, they've got the Rams confused
00:44:50Especially Kurt Warner, he's not sure what he's seeing
00:44:53And with their ability to run the football
00:44:56They're going to force the Rams to come up and bring eight in the box
00:44:59And then maybe take their shots down the field
00:45:02If you've got Kurt Warner confused, you've got the Rams confused
00:45:05That's right
00:45:06He's the guy that pulls the trigger
00:45:08Charles Johnson, number 81, is in as a wide receiver
00:45:13Schmidt on the toss
00:45:17Cuts it back inside the 15 to the 14-yard line
00:45:20The other thing about Antoine Schmidt
00:45:22Here's a young man who grew up in the South
00:45:24Was a tremendous football player in high school
00:45:27Had a full scholarship to Auburn
00:45:29Which is a dream, you go to Auburn or Alabama
00:45:31What a dream for a high school player in the South
00:45:34He put that on hold to take care of his grandmother and his grandfather
00:45:37His grandfather had cancer
00:45:39His grandmother had to go to dialysis three days a week
00:45:42He worked in a factory dyeing cloth for three years
00:45:46Until that job was done
00:45:48And then he got a scholarship to Houston
00:45:50He's a good kid
00:45:52Nice fake by Brady
00:45:54Wide open, Edwards in the flat
00:45:57Fights for first there, Yardage is close
00:46:00When you run an offense like Tom Brady is running this offense
00:46:03Charlie Wise, the offensive coordinator, will call plays
00:46:07He knows exactly where he wants Tom Brady to throw the football
00:46:10He looks up the field without hesitation
00:46:13And with a good quick move
00:46:15He hits the ball outside to his secondary receiver
00:46:18This is the thing that impressed him so much about Tom Brady
00:46:21Is his decision process
00:46:23He can see the entire field, knows where he wants to go with the football
00:46:26And Edwards is a weapon out in the backfield
00:46:28Brady so far, he's only missed two
00:46:30One of those was a pick
00:46:32But it wasn't his fault
00:46:34They're not going to make this, this is going to be third down
00:46:36But, okay Hawkeye, about a half a yard
00:46:39Oh, half a yard, that much?
00:46:41Well, for you that's a guinea
00:46:43About a half yard, that a half yard?
00:46:45Well, a little more than a half yard
00:46:47That one was an easy one
00:46:55Tom Brady, as Joe said earlier, one of his strengths
00:46:58He is so accurate
00:47:00He has completed 65% or better in his last four games
00:47:06Tonight he is 10 out of 12
00:47:08That's the first quarterback in Patriot history
00:47:1065% before his break
00:47:12And two of the four of them, he had an 80% completion and a 71% completion rate
00:47:18So the other two didn't do too good
00:47:20Dan Curt Warner, all he can do is stand and watch
00:47:22Which is not a place where he's used to being
00:47:25And it's exactly what New England wants
00:47:28As long as they have the ball to win those scores
00:47:31Smith, first down and goal
00:47:35Right now, from this first down on
00:47:39It becomes an attitude game
00:47:41For the New England Patriots
00:47:43Because I believe they're going to try and pound the football into the end zone
00:47:46As we move towards the two minute warning
00:47:482.40 left
00:47:50And Tom Brady knows that if they can do that
00:47:52They break the will of this defense a little bit
00:47:54It's an attitude check for the defense, too
00:47:57As well
00:47:58They have not been called on
00:48:00Too many times to have to make stops
00:48:02Not in that great office, right now they're called on
00:48:0612th play of the drive coming
00:48:09Smith
00:48:11Pounds his way down to the 1
00:48:14The Rams saying the ball is loose and they've got it
00:48:17No signal yet
00:48:19Nothing has been called
00:48:22Nothing has been called
00:48:26No sign from the official that he was down
00:48:28No sign of a fumble
00:48:30Still unpiling the bodies
00:48:37And the Rams have it
00:48:40There it was, Mike
00:48:42The defense came up with the play
00:48:45Well, you've got to like the call
00:48:47First of all, they just took the ball and handed it off to Antoine Smith
00:48:49And straight up the middle, which they should be
00:48:51Get the clock moving down to the two minutes
00:48:53But you've got to hang on to the football
00:48:55They just stripped that ball away
00:48:57And Nias Williams winds up coming away with it
00:49:03And they're challenging this because the flag is on the field
00:49:06Here it is, Antoine Smith up the middle
00:49:09And one of those, he's down
00:49:11His knee never hits the ground
00:49:13And you can see the ball come out
00:49:16Watch this, his knee will never hit the ground
00:49:20He is on other players
00:49:22He's laying on other players
00:49:24His right knee is on the ground
00:49:26I'm going to tell you what
00:49:28From that play there, his knee is on the ground
00:49:31And we are outside the two minute warning
00:49:33Therefore, it can be a coach's challenge
00:49:35They already challenged it, the red flag was out there
00:49:37Belichick challenged this thing
00:49:41Paul, I don't...
00:49:42Well, from that angle, maybe that was somebody else's knee was down
00:49:45Somebody else in the pile
00:49:47The other thing is, was his forward momentum
00:49:50Nor can all our voters
00:49:52Look at how close that is
00:49:57You can't call him down, you can't call him stopped
00:50:01Reviewing the play
00:50:02There was no conclusive evidence that the runner did not...
00:50:07Therefore, first half, Rams, England will be charged
00:50:14We had more than 54,000 people log in to vote with us
00:50:18Conclusive, huge, huge break and a great stand for that Rams defense
00:50:23Michael, you said it, the Rams defense had not been called upon to make plays
00:50:28Mike Marx said he doesn't concern himself with turnovers
00:50:31Because he feels confident that his defense can do the job this year
00:50:38Warner starts inside his five
00:50:43Wants to throw Robinson the tight end
00:50:46Spun around and made the catch after that 25, Warrior Malloy the tackle
00:50:50I know it's a two minute warning
00:50:52Did you like that call?
00:50:53Absolutely
00:50:54Did you like the call?
00:50:55Absolutely
00:50:56Alright
00:50:57Jeff Robinson out of Idaho with the catch
00:51:00Two minute warning back in a moment
00:51:04Two minutes to go in the half, down 10-7
00:51:14Warner to Paul with the 45
00:51:17This is where their speed can stretch the defense
00:51:20They'll try and stretch them and work deep ends
00:51:22They have one time out left
00:51:24But with the chunks of yardage that they pick up
00:51:27It's not a factor for this Rams team
00:51:31Trying to get to the sideline is not a factor
00:51:35They'll still work the middle of the field, isn't it?
00:51:43Warner to Paul again
00:51:46Paul to the 31
00:51:48One of the things that happens
00:51:49I know they're in a hurry
00:51:50But one of the things that happens
00:51:51The Rams are taking the time out
00:51:52Is when you blitz like that, Joe
00:51:54It leaves the middle of the field open
00:51:56And there's a minute and 22 seconds
00:51:58That's way too much time to leave the middle of the field open for the Rams
00:52:02This is a situation where Kurt Warner now can see
00:52:06Everything that's happening on the defensive side of the line of scrimmage
00:52:10As the game was played in the first half
00:52:13Bill Belichick and Romeo Cornell were able to move things around
00:52:17Give them different looks
00:52:18Bring pressure from different places
00:52:20Now in a two minute situation
00:52:22They spread you out
00:52:23You drop back
00:52:24And it's like pitch and catch for this offense
00:52:26But a spill with a minute and 22
00:52:28And now they have no time out
00:52:29You still throw the ball in the middle of the field
00:52:31Oh, yeah
00:52:33Warner has hit Robinson for 22
00:52:35Proll for 20
00:52:36And then Proll for 19
00:52:44Proll for 19 for Kurt Warner
00:52:46The two intersections hurt him in the first half
00:52:51Blitz again
00:52:52Warner to Proll
00:52:54Ricky Proll, the veteran to the 26
00:52:58Warner has completed number 87, Ricky Proll
00:53:01Clock running, no time outs available for the Rams
00:53:04Look at Kurt Warner
00:53:06It's okay, let's move at a good pace
00:53:09Oh
00:53:10It's okay, let's move at a good pace
00:53:13Oh, no
00:53:14Speaking of pace
00:53:15Orlando pace moved a little early
00:53:17On cue
00:53:36The Rams are saying he was drawn
00:53:38But the referee isn't buying it
00:53:39The Rams defense getting beaten up a little bit tonight, Susie
00:53:42Well, the side judge just stepped in
00:53:44I'm sorry
00:53:46Well, Mike, as you were saying
00:53:47The Patriots did promise a physical game
00:53:49Adam Archuleta is starting strong safety
00:53:51He has a concussion
00:53:53He is out
00:53:54Defensive tackle, Damian Lewis
00:53:56Fractured foot
00:53:57He is out
00:54:10The Patriots called a time out
00:54:23Number 36
00:54:25There's the time out called
00:54:28There he is, trying to call the time out
00:54:32And apparently he did not get it before pace moved
00:54:35Took him a long time for him to find him
00:54:38And then they wind up charging him with it
00:54:48And now they're saying they gave him the time out before pace's motion
00:54:52So it's still 1st and 10
00:54:57What's coming?
00:54:58Warner tried to get it to Falk
00:55:00And Falk was held up
00:55:02Roman Pfeiffer
00:55:05I'll tell you what
00:55:06This is holding
00:55:07This should have been called on Pfeiffer
00:55:09Number 95
00:55:10He's got a hold of Marshall Falk coming out
00:55:13Watch number 28
00:55:14And watch number 95
00:55:15Look at this
00:55:16You think he's got him?
00:55:18You know something?
00:55:19It's not a bad play
00:55:21When Roman Pfeiffer gets Marshall Falk 1 on 1
00:55:24He does everything he can to contain him and stay with him
00:55:27I personally think that's a good foul
00:55:29Good foul
00:55:32You're lucky if you can grab him
00:55:34I agree because he was going to go to Marshall Falk anyway
00:55:37If he gets the ball in space, it's over
00:55:45Spock the ball to 21
00:55:4758 seconds to go in the half
00:55:53Warner never loses his poise
00:56:00Blitz coming again
00:56:02Falk in the flat
00:56:04Taken out of bounds by Matt Stephens
00:56:07Coming up at the half
00:56:08The key at halftime show
00:56:10Just bringing you along with the Jets and Dolphins highlights
00:56:13The Jets continue that dominance
00:56:15The Browns surprise the Ravens again
00:56:17In the fastest 3 minutes in television
00:56:20Hey, one of the things you have to give a lot of credit to
00:56:23We saw last week in Seattle
00:56:25We'll see them again tonight
00:56:26But both of these offensive lines
00:56:28They're doing a great job
00:56:29Yes they are
00:56:30Because they're throwing everything at this Ram offensive line they can throw
00:56:33And Anton Smith is not liking what he's seeing
00:56:39McGinnis comes across and he's pointing at Ryan Tucker
00:56:42Now this will be interesting
00:56:43With all the shifting that was done
00:56:45Ryan Tucker actually did move
00:56:48He moved before the play
00:56:49So it'll be interesting to see the way they call
00:56:58Number 50 offense
00:56:595 yard penalty
00:57:02With all the shifting that was going on
00:57:04And all the receivers moving to that right side
00:57:06I guess Ryan just felt like
00:57:07Everybody else is moving over here
00:57:09I might back up just a little bit
00:57:13About 8 seconds have gone off the clock in the last 4 minutes
00:57:29Warner, again underneath
00:57:30This time Bruce
00:57:32Inside the 10 to the 9
00:57:34It'll be first and goal for the Rams
00:57:35No timeouts
00:57:36They'll burn one here
00:57:37They'll just throw one into the ground
00:57:39I don't know
00:57:40This team doesn't like to throw it in the ground
00:57:42Not down his court
00:57:43Doesn't have to
00:57:44Blitz was coming
00:57:45And Warner got rid of it in a hurry
00:57:48Stops it with 36 seconds to go
00:57:51The Rams have been devastating against teams in the first half
00:57:54Averaging nearly 20 points a game
00:57:56Through the first 8
00:57:57Tonight they have only 7
00:57:59They've held their opponents
00:58:01To 7 points a half in the first half
00:58:04And they've given up 10 to New England tonight
00:58:06What I would do if I was the New England Patriots here
00:58:08Because now the field has become so compressed
00:58:11And the Rams run so many crossing routes
00:58:13We saw the first 2 balls of the game
00:58:15Knocked down by their defense
00:58:17I would do the same thing with this defense
00:58:19I'd make sure that somebody's in a position
00:58:21To swat the ball around for Kurt Warner
00:58:25Falk
00:58:27Touchdown
00:58:33The ultimate weapon
00:58:35All those great wide receivers go downfield
00:58:38Falk goes underneath
00:58:40Warner hits him in stride
00:58:42And it's over
00:58:43One of the things I don't even understand about the defense
00:58:45And I know there's some people, Joe
00:58:46But the middle of the field was wide open
00:58:48When Marshall Falk came out of the backfield
00:58:50And ran that little circle around
00:58:51Nobody
00:58:53One guy trying to cover him
00:58:54And nobody in the middle to help out
00:58:56That I don't understand
00:59:00Pick your poison
00:59:01You can't cover up people
00:59:05Wilkins with a point after
00:59:08It was a 97 yard drive
00:59:11Well, look in the middle of the field
00:59:13Funwell goes down
00:59:14He takes the safety out
00:59:15And here comes Marshall Falk
00:59:17One guy is on him
00:59:18That's Shaw at 22
00:59:20And he can't stop him
00:59:21From getting in the endzone
00:59:22He really has no help
00:59:23Look at this
00:59:24It's basically Shaw and Falk by themselves
00:59:26And a great job by the offensive line
00:59:28Giving them a nice lane to throw to
00:59:30Mike Martz says
00:59:31That's what I expected
00:59:34Mike Martz, the offensive genius
00:59:36Who has put this thing together
00:59:40And Antoine Smith
00:59:42Who coughed it up near the one yard line
00:59:44And it's tough to fault him
00:59:46When you're on top of somebody
00:59:48And the play continues
00:59:49There's 8 guys in there
00:59:50That ball
00:59:51Well, he was trying extra effort
00:59:53That's exactly what happens sometimes
00:59:55When you try and put the extra effort
00:59:56But you've got to give a lot of credit
00:59:58To that Ram defense
00:59:59They caused the turnover when they had to
01:00:048 rushes, 35 yards
01:00:064 catches, 35 yards
01:00:08Average rushing down from 5'7 to 4'4
01:00:13He's being contained
01:00:1731 seconds to go
01:00:18Brady warms up on the sideline
01:00:20And now it's a 4 point St. Louis lead
01:00:24Michael Ram's first touchdown
01:00:2518 yards in a minute and 23 seconds
01:00:27They were 97 yards in a minute and 41 seconds
01:00:32Kevin Falk, deep to the sleeve
01:00:41Falk picking his way to about the 18 yard line
01:00:43And that's it
01:00:44That's it
01:00:47Next Sunday night at 7.30
01:00:48Join Chris Berman and Tom Jackson
01:00:50It's NFL primetime
01:00:52And then on our Sunday night game
01:00:53Brian Urlacher and the Bears battle Dante Culpepper
01:00:57And the Vikings on ESPN Sunday Night Football
01:01:00At 8.28 Eastern
01:01:02What a job Greg Blasch has done
01:01:04With that Chicago Bears defense
01:01:08Now if you're new in England
01:01:09What do you do?
01:01:1024 seconds to go
01:01:11Heel down
01:01:13You gotta feel good about the way you play
01:01:17You've given them two opportunities
01:01:19One close in
01:01:21The other one you gave them the ball
01:01:22When you were gonna score
01:01:23Bill Belichick said we had to withstand
01:01:25That initial onslaught
01:01:27They did that
01:01:28They are within 4 points
01:01:30Of the St. Louis Rams
01:01:35So Belichick
01:01:36As he always seems to do
01:01:38Came up with a defensive plan
01:01:40We're gonna release one to St. Louis
01:01:42Let's go down to the field
01:01:43Susie Colvin
01:01:44And Nias Williams comes up
01:01:45With a clutch fumble recovery
01:01:46Led to the second longest drive of the year
01:01:48How much did you guys need
01:01:49That change of momentum at that point?
01:01:51We needed a huge
01:01:52They've been running the ball
01:01:53And getting some gashing holes
01:01:54And we need that turnover
01:01:55And to get the offense going
01:01:57Going into halftime
01:01:58It was just great
01:01:59You said you had seen enough
01:02:00Of Tom Brady on film
01:02:01What have you seen tonight
01:02:02That you didn't expect?
01:02:03Well we've seen
01:02:04I've seen what I've seen on film
01:02:06And that's his composure
01:02:07He has good composure
01:02:08And he's taking what we've given
01:02:09So we have to do a good job
01:02:10Of getting more hands on the ball
01:02:11And intercept some balls
01:02:12In the second half
01:02:13Thanks
01:02:14We'll see you in the second half
01:02:15Mike
01:02:16Thank you Susie
01:02:17Our score here in the league
01:02:18Is the Rams 14
01:02:19The Pats 10
01:02:20Let's join Chris Berman
01:02:21For the Kia
01:02:22I think for the New England Patriots
01:02:24It's critical that they mount
01:02:26Some type of an offensive drive
01:02:28And not throw their defense
01:02:29Right back out on the field
01:02:31Right away against this Ram offense
01:02:33Perfect
01:02:37Wilkins to kick
01:02:38Kevin Falk is deep
01:02:42Takes an under bounce
01:02:43At the 10
01:02:46And Falk to the 28 yard line
01:02:50The story of this first half
01:02:52Has been mistakes
01:02:53Turnovers
01:02:54Have hurt both ball clubs
01:02:56That interception
01:02:57Led to the first score
01:02:58A strike to Holt
01:03:01Warner
01:03:02Struck this time
01:03:03By Buckley
01:03:04And he takes it back all the way
