00:00:00The Magnificent skyline of
00:00:16downtown Big D. Dallas Texas
00:00:18said nearby in Irving Texas
00:00:20Stadium that this will hold the
00:00:22largest crowd ever to see a
00:00:23football game in this locale
00:00:25today for the 49ers against the
00:00:27Cowboys I'm Pat Summerall and
00:00:29neither one of these two teams
00:00:31has forgotten what happened in
00:00:32the championship game in the
00:00:33NFC last year at Candlestick
00:00:35Park.
00:00:36Dallas of course one.
00:00:38Can they do it again.
00:00:39That's a big big question.
00:00:41No nines a boat with me of
00:00:43course John Madden and John the
00:00:4549ers criticized a little bit
00:00:47lately as not being the same
00:00:48team that they were then.
00:00:49What do you think.
00:00:50It's probably true.
00:00:51They're pretty much the same
00:00:52like they were a year ago but
00:00:54one of these days are going to
00:00:55explode and that could very well
00:00:56be today.
00:00:57And you know they've thought
00:00:58about the Cowboys and they know
00:01:00that if they want to be a
00:01:01champion again they have to beat
00:01:02the Cowboys and look back to
00:01:03that championship game and they
00:01:05say what went wrong and they
00:01:06boil it down to two things I had
00:01:07four turnovers and that game I
00:01:09said they can't turn the ball
00:01:11over today.
00:01:11And the other thing is when they
00:01:13got inside the 20 they didn't
00:01:15attack the end zone.
00:01:17Steve Young told us just that
00:01:18when they get inside the 20
00:01:19they're going to attack the end
00:01:21zone.
00:01:21And as far as the Cowboys are
00:01:22concerned a lot of people said
00:01:24after they beat Buffalo in the
00:01:25Super Bowl last year this is the
00:01:27next dynasty in pro football.
00:01:29What do you think.
00:01:30I'll tell you offensively to me
00:01:31they look great right now.
00:01:32I think Troy Aikman is the best
00:01:33football and for you is the best
00:01:35quarterback in all the football
00:01:37and he just gets great.
00:01:38He's going as high as you can.
00:01:39And then of course they get
00:01:40Emmitt Smith back and now he's
00:01:42healthy and for the first time
00:01:44and you get the passing and the
00:01:46running and the running and the
00:01:47running and the running and the
00:01:48running and the running and the
00:01:48running and the running and the
00:01:49running and the running and the
00:01:50passing and the running going.
00:01:52I don't know that anyone is
00:01:53going to stop this cowboy
00:01:54offense.
00:01:56Well it's a perfect day for
00:01:58football.
00:01:59The Cowboys have won the toss.
00:02:01They're always of course this
00:02:02time of day here at Texas
00:02:03Stadium.
00:02:04If it's a bright day is the
00:02:05problem with the sun in the
00:02:08receivers in this case the
00:02:10Cowboys eyes as they try to get
00:02:12a forward pass or accept the
00:02:14kickoff.
00:02:15Mike Cofer about to kick it off
00:02:19and the Cowboys are looking for
00:02:20San Francisco and that sun will
00:02:22not be a problem.
00:02:24An overcast day back deep Kevin
00:02:27Williams and Kenneth Gant for
00:02:30Dallas Cofer set to kick it off
00:02:36well maybe the official standing
00:02:41down between the two return man
00:02:42is still holding things up the
00:02:45crowd ready.
00:02:46Now they've got the signal.
00:02:48They've got the signal.
00:02:53Now I think we're just about
00:02:55ready to start.
00:02:57What to both of these certainly
00:02:59and to many who follow pro
00:03:00football is the biggest game of
00:03:01the year.
00:03:18And here's the first time stop
00:03:20by the kicker Cofer Aikman leads
00:03:24the offense as John Madden said
00:03:25a minute ago he is as hot as
00:03:27anyone has ever been in front of
00:03:29him a fine big big offensive
00:03:32line and those who will handle
00:03:36the ball Emmitt Smith of course
00:03:37Darrell Johnston blocks for him
00:03:39Michael Irvin and Alvin Harper
00:03:41the wide receivers and Jane
00:03:42Novacek the tight end flag on
00:03:45the left side holding by the
00:03:50receiving team number ninety
00:03:51five during the return 10 yard
00:03:53penalty the first down referee
00:03:57is Ed Hockley Chad Hemmings was
00:04:01called for holding on the
00:04:02opening kickoff so the Cowboys
00:04:06first possession will take place
00:04:07back at their own 10 yard line
00:04:11make it the 11 just outside the
00:04:14numbers are phenomenal he's
00:04:18going to throw on first down
00:04:21he's going to have to complete
00:04:22the Harper on first down about
00:04:25eight the 49er defensive unit
00:04:28this is the part of that team
00:04:30that has seen some major
00:04:31changes Fagan is back stubble
00:04:33field in the middle of the
00:04:35four linebackers Johnson and
00:04:37Kelly outside Romanowski and
00:04:39DeLong back Griffin Hanks
00:04:43McDonnell and Davis the second
00:04:45there it will be second and two
00:04:49as Aikman brings him out for a
00:05:06Dallas first down Darrell
00:05:07Johnson tripped up by stubble
00:05:09field you know the 49ers have
00:05:11always been a three man line
00:05:13back.
00:05:14They're starting here with a
00:05:15four man line.
00:05:16You see they're putting Ted
00:05:17Washington and stubble field
00:05:19both inside and then fake it
00:05:22here and Dennis Brown out here.
00:05:24So that's a new thing.
00:05:25I think that they they're so
00:05:27concerned about stopping the run.
00:05:29They didn't think they could do
00:05:30it with their three man line.
00:05:31So I'm running down.
00:05:32They're probably going to use
00:05:34some four man line today.
00:05:37Jim Price the backup tied in the
00:05:40third for another Dallas first
00:05:47down and Aikman is two for two.
00:05:49Yeah that's a problem that you
00:05:50have with the Dallas Cowboys and
00:05:52with a man and Smith and all the
00:05:54receivers and a good offensive
00:05:56line.
00:05:56You can't gang up on anything.
00:05:58You can't gang up on the run
00:06:00because they'll pass and beat
00:06:02you.
00:06:02You can't gang up on the past
00:06:04because Emmitt Smith can beat
00:06:05you.
00:06:06You know that you can't gang up
00:06:07on any one guy because Aikman
00:06:10can beat any guy and go to him.
00:06:12And that's what he has been so
00:06:13masterful at doing.
00:06:15Not just this year down the
00:06:16stretch last year.
00:06:18Smith Smith bounces close to
00:06:23another cowboy first down
00:06:25tripped up by Merton Haynes.
00:06:27The ball almost bounced out of
00:06:29there at the end.
00:06:31The Cowboys don't seem to have
00:06:33any trouble running against this
00:06:34four man line.
00:06:36Again the 49ers got Kevin Fagan
00:06:38back this week.
00:06:40They went right in.
00:06:41That's right where they went.
00:06:42It went right at Kevin Fagan.
00:06:44And of course they got Stubble
00:06:46Field and Ted Washington in
00:06:48there as tackles trying to get
00:06:49bigger guys in there to plug up
00:06:52that middle where Emmitt Smith
00:06:53usually runs second and short
00:06:55that's what they said they said
00:07:22the thing that beat him in the
00:07:23championship game was the
00:07:25turnovers the Cowboys didn't the
00:07:2749ers felt they had to get the
00:07:28turnovers today and not give up
00:07:30the turnover the first drive
00:07:32they come up with a big one.
00:07:33This is a kind of tackle we're
00:07:35seeing more and more of breaking
00:07:37that ball loose with the other
00:07:38hand just like that.
00:07:40So what you do is you go in with
00:07:42with one hand that was John
00:07:43Johnson number 55 and you grab
00:07:46him with one hand like you're
00:07:47going to tackle him and then you
00:07:48always put that chop in there.
00:07:50The first guy there and try and
00:07:51knock the ball out of there.
00:07:53He's going to go for the extra
00:07:54point 49ers break it on top and
00:07:59they lead 7 nothing 47 yard
00:08:02touchdown run on the fumble
00:08:06recovery.
00:08:07Boy did that quiet this crowd
00:08:08down.
00:08:09They may be big but they're
00:08:10silent at the moment.
00:08:14Here is Steve Young's offensive
00:08:17package.
00:08:18He of course the quarterback you
00:08:20forget he used to be with Tampa
00:08:22State Wallace McIntyre Sambola
00:08:25Ralph Tam and Harris Barton his
00:08:27offensive line the two wide
00:08:30receivers Rice and Taylor Brent
00:08:34Jones the tight end Logan and
00:08:35Waters are the two running
00:08:37backs but it'll be a while
00:08:42before they get the ball and
00:08:43operate behind that unit.
00:08:45That's that's a way to do it.
00:08:48Yeah first of all we talk about
00:08:49the script watch Johnny John
00:08:51Johnson knocked the ball out
00:08:52there and then a perfect bounce
00:08:55Eric Davis was coming up and the
00:08:57ball just bounced up there right
00:08:59about knee high and he caught it
00:09:00in stride.
00:09:03There's a sprint now watch it
00:09:05bounce the ball comes out of
00:09:06there and then straight up in
00:09:08the air and he catches it on
00:09:09that second hop right there to
00:09:11knees.
00:09:12How many times might you expect
00:09:14to see an object shaped like
00:09:15that bounce straight up like
00:09:16that twice.
00:09:17Only on artificial turf.
00:09:19Right.
00:09:19If this were played on grass
00:09:21that ball would have bounced
00:09:22sideways and maybe even got out
00:09:24of bounds.
00:09:25There are no undefeated teams
00:09:27now.
00:09:28It's very knockoff.
00:09:31Go for his kick.
00:09:34Williams watches it roll out of
00:09:36bounds and then the Cowboys will
00:09:37take over at their thirty five
00:09:39and the Cowboys will take over
00:09:40at their thirty five.
00:09:51George Seifert George Seifert
00:09:54tried to keep that defense
00:09:55secret all week you know and it
00:09:57was whether Todd Kelly was going
00:09:59to be the linebacker the
00:10:00elephant or was going to be
00:10:01Martin Harrison and that had
00:10:03kind of become the thing.
00:10:05But really what he was doing is
00:10:06working on a four man defensive
00:10:09role there and Washington and
00:10:11then Kevin Fagan over there.
00:10:13So this is a new defensive look
00:10:15for the 49ers other than the
00:10:18fumble the Cowboys handled it
00:10:20very well.
00:10:21Eggman again complete to
00:10:24Johnstone cut down by Davis.
00:10:28When you hear that sound that's
00:10:29the most.
00:10:30Last week they started out the
00:10:32game against the Indianapolis
00:10:34Colts and they they gave the
00:10:35ball about four or five times to
00:10:37Johnston who doesn't get it a
00:10:39lot.
00:10:40One of the reporters after the
00:10:41game asked Eggman were you
00:10:43featuring the moose.
00:10:45Eggman said let me tell you
00:10:46this the Dallas Cowboys will
00:10:48never feature the moose very few
00:10:52times.
00:10:53What he does so well is block
00:10:55for him at Smith and obviously
00:10:57he's got a lot of capacity.
00:11:08We welcome those of you who
00:11:09watch New Orleans and Pittsburgh
00:11:11the final score was the Steelers
00:11:13thirty seven New Orleans 14 here
00:11:15in Dallas.
00:11:17The score is 7 nothing.
00:11:18The 49ers lead it a forty seven
00:11:22yard fumble recovery by Eric
00:11:24Davis.
00:11:25I don't know if quarterbacks
00:11:26were just shot a shot of Steve
00:11:28Young.
00:11:29I don't know if quarterbacks
00:11:30like this.
00:11:31They like to lead they like to
00:11:32be ahead but I don't know that
00:11:33they like to come out there and
00:11:34stand this long in the sideline
00:11:36and not get the game yet.
00:11:37I know I wouldn't like it.
00:11:38Here's a.
00:11:40Get.
00:11:41The.
00:11:41Harper.
00:11:42Harper.
00:11:43Close to midfield.
00:11:44I beg your pardon.
00:11:45This is Irvin.
00:11:47Michael Irvin.
00:11:4980 is Harper.
00:11:51Eighty eight is Irvin.
00:11:53Yeah.
00:11:53Michael Irvin.
00:11:54Yeah Michael Irvin does this so
00:11:56well you know not only get open
00:11:58but he's so big and strong that
00:12:00once he catches the ball he
00:12:02doesn't have to be wide open and
00:12:04then he'll make a move and he's
00:12:05tough to tackle you know because
00:12:07he's big strong quick and he
00:12:09just doesn't go down easily.
00:12:11The first guy there does not
00:12:13usually get Michael Irvin.
00:12:14That's that pattern we've seen
00:12:16so often in recent weeks with a
00:12:17bunch of receivers come off the
00:12:19ball together to go deep one
00:12:21goes wide as he did that.
00:12:24And.
00:12:24He's got a chance to get him.
00:12:25He's got a chance to get him.
00:12:26Johnston again in motion.
00:12:30Outside the end of Smith.
00:12:35Spun forward run out of bounds
00:12:37by John Johnson.
00:12:39You know one thing that this
00:12:40four man line of the 49ers is
00:12:42doing to the Cowboy offense.
00:12:44It's making them attack the
00:12:45perimeters more with Emmitt
00:12:47Smith.
00:12:48They've usually been like an
00:12:49inside running team and a cut
00:12:51back team.
00:12:51You know you're getting a ball
00:12:53outside and a swing pass.
00:12:55And when Emmitt Smith has been
00:12:56running he's been running to the
00:12:58outside.
00:13:00Well if they can make it do
00:13:02that part of the plan at least
00:13:04has succeeded.
00:13:06They'd like more pressure on
00:13:08Aikman.
00:13:09And it's Smith left.
00:13:14About the 42.
00:13:16Emmitt Smith said running is
00:13:18kind of a simple thing.
00:13:19He said you just look where they
00:13:21are and you look at all their
00:13:22guys and you run the other way.
00:13:25And then as you run and you look
00:13:27and if they're all flowing one
00:13:28way you cut back.
00:13:29If they're all blocked you just
00:13:31keep going that way.
00:13:34Said most of the time he'll look
00:13:35right at the center and nose
00:13:36tackle and read that initially.
00:13:39And that will determine which
00:13:40way he's going to cut.
00:13:41If the center gets him going one
00:13:43way.
00:13:44He said I'm going the other way.
00:13:51He's going the other way.
00:13:52He's going the other way.
00:13:53He's going the other way.
00:14:07Michael McGruder made the stop.
00:14:09We talk about Aikman being hot.
00:14:11I mean he just looks.
00:14:13Remember a few years ago how Joe
00:14:15Montana looked where he'd look
00:14:16perfect and you'd wonder what
00:14:18can you do to stop him and an
00:14:20answer to what they do on deep
00:14:22that that was against the nickel
00:14:24there long yardage short yardage
00:14:26he has an answer for you.
00:14:28North Turner the offensive
00:14:30coordinator.
00:14:31Let's listen to the referee
00:14:32first.
00:14:33You need a formation by the
00:14:34offense.
00:14:35Number 79 was lined up in an
00:14:37eligible position.
00:14:39He had an ineligible number.
00:14:41So five yard penalty.
00:14:42Repeat third down.
00:14:45Well 79 of course is Eric
00:14:47Williams the big right tackle.
00:14:50What I must be saying is that
00:14:52he's too far back that he's in
00:14:54the backfield and that would be
00:14:57too many men in the backfield.
00:14:59I think that's picky.
00:15:00He looks to me like he was OK.
00:15:03I mean on third down they don't
00:15:04get in a stance and they all get
00:15:06off a little bit.
00:15:07That looked like a picky ball as
00:15:09if the other tackle to an A was
00:15:10further back than he was.
00:15:12And he is on this play too.
00:15:14Aikman chased passes just at the
00:15:17last second by Kevin Williams
00:15:19and he's got a shot about short
00:15:21of a first down day.
00:15:27One day they got some pressure
00:15:28here.
00:15:29Watch number 53 Bill Roman
00:15:30asking you to see they don't get
00:15:32him locked in the flints.
00:15:34Now I'm not one that was third
00:15:35and long.
00:15:36Aikman didn't want to take that
00:15:38sack or that hit.
00:15:39So he really just threw that one
00:15:40away.
00:15:42So John Chen the new Dallas
00:15:45punter comes on Dexter Carter
00:15:47back deep for San Francisco.
00:15:49He's got a big one last week.
00:15:53He must be going for a block.
00:15:54Dexter got to be running up.
00:15:56They don't have anyone back
00:15:57there.
00:15:57They've got to be going one
00:15:58back.
00:16:19They're running into the kicker
00:16:20but again this is a big penalty
00:16:22because it doesn't give them a
00:16:24first down see because they
00:16:26still have to get the first down
00:16:28and they were like fourth and
00:16:30what fourth and last day at a
00:16:32five yard penalty.
00:16:34Roughing the kicker by the
00:16:35defense.
00:16:36Now it is a 15 yard penalty
00:16:38automatic first down.
00:16:39If it's rubbing it's a 15 yard
00:16:41penalty it'll be a first down
00:16:46that that would qualify as being
00:16:47rough.
00:16:48I know that was when you run
00:16:49into the guy you don't mean it.
00:16:51They just gave you a five and a
00:16:52fourth and eight.
00:16:53It wouldn't have been a first
00:16:54down but that was Martin
00:16:56Harrison and that I think is a
00:16:5915 yard penalty.
00:17:00So it's not again automatic
00:17:02first down but the 15 yard
00:17:04penalty gives the Cowboys a
00:17:05first down there at the forty
00:17:08nine or thirty two now the
00:17:10forty niners were just trying to
00:17:11be aggressive on that play.
00:17:13They were too aggressive.
00:17:14Dexter Carter came up.
00:17:15They had all 11 men up in the
00:17:17front no return man back and
00:17:19they were going for the block or
00:17:21nothing.
00:17:22Emmett Smith is the deep back and
00:17:24no the check is in motion and
00:17:26Aikman back to complete intended
00:17:32for Irvin.
00:17:33That's the first incompleteness
00:17:35pass.
00:17:37Don Griffin was the cover man
00:17:41defending on the play number 29.
00:17:43This isn't how Jimmy Johnson saw
00:17:45this game getting started.
00:17:47It's a little sloppy and Jimmy
00:17:48Johnson is one of the neatest
00:17:50guys around.
00:17:51He thinks and he likes
00:17:52everything to be neat and
00:17:53perfect.
00:17:54And when the other team picks up
00:17:56one of your fumbles and scores
00:17:58and you know you have a penalty
00:17:59when you get a first down you
00:18:01have another penalty.
00:18:02This is the kind of game he
00:18:04likes even though that last
00:18:05penalty benefited him second and
00:18:07now he's going to go for the
00:18:08count.
00:18:08He's going to go for the count.
00:18:20Complete Michael Irvin just
00:18:22didn't bend over enough.
00:18:24It looked like on that play Pat
00:18:26he's running it out and you're
00:18:28going to see him out here.
00:18:30Now he's going to come out and
00:18:31then turn right here and it
00:18:33looked like the ball is just
00:18:35right there.
00:18:36And I don't know if he took his
00:18:37eyes off it or didn't put his
00:18:38eyes down there or what.
00:18:40But Michael Irvin usually
00:18:42catches those guys like he
00:18:44thought he had it went right
00:18:45he didn't think he thought he
00:18:47had it going right between his
00:18:48legs double dip Terry Holt a
00:19:02game to the 30 yard line.
00:19:04So look at Eddie Murray to the
00:19:07field a couple of big plays
00:19:09there by the 49ers good coverage
00:19:12and then on third and 10
00:19:14surprise the Cowboys weren't a
00:19:16little more aggressive and
00:19:17because eight minutes so it has
00:19:19so many tools you wonder why
00:19:21they don't go for a first down
00:19:23and attack the end zone
00:19:24themselves.
00:19:41But the 49ers lead 7 3 6 and a
00:19:44half left first quarter.
00:19:47And the sun not out brightly as
00:19:59yet but it's broken through some
00:20:00of the clouds.
00:20:03Biggest crowd ever to see a
00:20:06football game.
00:20:09Murray's kickoff.
00:20:18To the 20 where Steve Young and
00:20:21the 49ers will take over an
00:20:22offense for the first time.
00:20:27Texas Stadium pack the rematch
00:20:31of last year's NFC
00:20:32championship game.
00:20:47Here is the Cowboy defense now
00:20:54Haley and Tolbert start on the
00:20:56outside they shuffle a lot of
00:20:57people in and out Maryland
00:20:59Casillas in the middle and
00:21:02Norton has moved inside the
00:21:04middle linebacker Dixon Edwards
00:21:05and Darren Smith the rookie
00:21:07outside the secondary Brown
00:21:09Everett Woodson and Kevin Smith
00:21:14second and five 49ers at the
00:21:18twenty five young to rise to the
00:21:2940 49er first down this is an
00:21:38interesting formation Pat you
00:21:40see Ricky Waters is in the slot
00:21:42here the halfback and here is
00:21:44right here so they can run a
00:21:45combination pattern and still
00:21:48have Taylor over on the other
00:21:49side.
00:21:50See Waters comes out.
00:21:51Rice comes in and the minute
00:21:53that he passes that first guy
00:21:55the ball is thrown perfectly and
00:21:57Rice is now caught a pass and
00:21:59one hundred and seventeen
00:22:01straight games.
00:22:02Young gives to water Jerry Rice
00:22:11was talking about his timing or
00:22:13really hasn't been in sync with
00:22:15Steve Young like it was in Joe
00:22:17Monday with Joe Montana.
00:22:19But I think when he's on the
00:22:20left side is when it is in sync.
00:22:23I mean that play that slant that
00:22:24pole or whatever that was an in
00:22:27sync play.
00:22:28But Jerry Rice was lined up on
00:22:29the left side.
00:22:30I think where they have their
00:22:32sink problem is when Rice lines
00:22:34up on the right side.
00:22:35That's where he used to always
00:22:36line up when he was playing with
00:22:38Joe Montana.
00:22:39He has split wide left this
00:22:41time bounced up in the air and
00:22:56looked as if several people had
00:22:58a shot at it.
00:22:59That's the way of a lot of those
00:23:00interceptions to Steve Young
00:23:02this year have come.
00:23:03Yeah.
00:23:04And I would think if you're
00:23:04going to force the ball and
00:23:06Steve Young force that one I
00:23:08think if you're going to force
00:23:09the ball you don't want to force
00:23:10it to Mark Logan and if you're
00:23:12going to force the ball force it
00:23:14to a Jerry Rice and force it to
00:23:15a John Taylor so when it could
00:23:17really do something but don't
00:23:19force a two yard pass to Mark
00:23:21Logan Young to Jones complete
00:23:31first down and more for the 40
00:23:33niners in the Dallas territory
00:23:35to the thirty five.
00:23:37Watson knocked him out of
00:23:39bounds.
00:23:42They used to go for wide
00:23:43receivers and now they leave
00:23:45Brent Jones in with three wide
00:23:47receivers see Brent Jones a
00:23:49tight end.
00:23:50He's just going to come up and
00:23:51run it out.
00:23:51He gave a little head fake then
00:23:53he went to the outside.
00:23:54That was Darren Watson the
00:23:55strong safety cover covering
00:23:57him there and Watson went for
00:23:59that head fake that head fake
00:24:00just frozen long enough.
00:24:02You don't see guys go it or you
00:24:03don't see too many guys use the
00:24:05old you don't watch anymore.
00:24:06You don't see many defensive
00:24:08guys going for it.
00:24:10That's Logan over the left side
00:24:15stopped by Norton.
00:24:18It's interesting.
00:24:19The 49ers again this is the
00:24:21first time they've had the ball
00:24:23but they've been using Ricky
00:24:24Waters more as a decoy and using
00:24:27Mark Logan in the backfield.
00:24:30Waters has been out as a
00:24:31slotback and a flanker most of
00:24:34the time.
00:24:35He's got a run in the back.
00:24:36He's got a run in the back.
00:24:38That's where he goes again
00:24:41except not in the slot.
00:24:43Now he is.
00:24:44Now he and Rice swap places.
00:24:46He wants to prove that he's as
00:24:48good a running back for better
00:24:49than Emmitt Smith.
00:24:50It's going to be tough for the
00:24:51slotback.
00:24:52Young quickly outside Taylor
00:24:58Larry Brown knocked him out of
00:25:00bounds.
00:25:01Yeah you talk about a Troy
00:25:03Turner.
00:25:04I mean he's got the same thing
00:25:06that Steve Young could do.
00:25:08Yeah I mean he could see the
00:25:10formation on the right side.
00:25:12Again that's a decoy.
00:25:13You see Waters is over there.
00:25:15Rice is over there.
00:25:16But this is the side he goes to
00:25:18you put them over there and then
00:25:20you get John Taylor isolated on
00:25:22Brown here and you just give him
00:25:24the ball to the left side one on
00:25:25one.
00:25:34Young for another first down
00:25:36inside the Cowboy 15 to about
00:25:38the 12th.
00:25:39That had to be an organized play
00:25:41because there was no back in the
00:25:43backfield.
00:25:44Waters Waters starts out and now
00:25:47he goes in motion.
00:25:48So what's what happens once he
00:25:49goes in motion.
00:25:51You're going to see that there's
00:25:51no one for the quarterback.
00:25:53So he sees this right here.
00:25:55He's looking for the first hole
00:25:57he can find.
00:25:58He gets a double team for
00:25:59McIntyre and the hole is between
00:26:01his guard and tackle.
00:26:03He's got a double team.
00:26:04He's got a double team.
00:26:05He's got a double team.
00:26:06He's got a double team.
00:26:09The tough thing is is when
00:26:11there's no back in the
00:26:13backfield.
00:26:14The only guy that can carry the
00:26:15ball is a quarterback.
00:26:17So even though there's no one on
00:26:18the quarterback they do key on
00:26:20him a little more.
00:26:24But when you're a ball carrier
00:26:25an athlete like Steve Young
00:26:28that's like having another back
00:26:29almost.
00:26:30You see if you look from the end
00:26:32zone here you'll see Ricky
00:26:33McIntyre in the backfield.
00:26:34So if you're going to run it it
00:26:36has to be Steve Young.
00:26:37Then when he sees that hole he's
00:26:39going to take it.
00:26:40Charles Haley just missed a
00:26:43double team.
00:26:44Russell Maryland McIntyre.
00:26:46Good job.
00:26:47And then young had to get away
00:26:49from Haley outside the 10 stop
00:26:59by Ken Norton again.
00:27:01This is the area that Steve
00:27:03McIntyre was in when he lost the
00:27:05championship game to the
00:27:06Cowboys and they got down in
00:27:08this area this red zone inside
00:27:10the 20 holes and they set for
00:27:13field goals rather than attacking
00:27:15so he said that this game they're
00:27:17going to attack and so I would
00:27:18expect a second down pass here
00:27:21and a third down.
00:27:22He said we got it said we're
00:27:23going to take some shots.
00:27:24I agree with you.
00:27:34That's completely gone by
00:27:36Jones Darren Smith.
00:27:39Well I think he probably forgot
00:27:41the deal about the end zone
00:27:42because he goes for the short
00:27:44guy again.
00:27:44Maybe he just told us that you
00:27:46say Brent Jones is in motion and
00:27:48he's just running a little dark
00:27:50pattern out here and he throws
00:27:52out and again it just come up
00:27:53with third down.
00:27:53I think if you're going to attack
00:27:55the end zone attack the end zone
00:27:58got to be in there.
00:27:58Right.
00:27:59If you're not going to attack it
00:28:00then you may as well just drop
00:28:02the ball because now it's third
00:28:04down.
00:28:04Now you have to do it third and
00:28:06four and that's a little longer
00:28:07than you'd like.
00:28:10Here's young chase touchdown
00:28:14Jones he dropped it and it got
00:28:17away.
00:28:19That was a heck of a play though
00:28:21by Steve Young.
00:28:22Russell Maryland was all over
00:28:25how he did that.
00:28:26I mean watch it.
00:28:27I mean this is under pressure.
00:28:29He has pressure.
00:28:30This is the thing that Steve
00:28:31Young can do because he's so
00:28:32strong.
00:28:33He pumps.
00:28:34Now he has a guy hanging on him
00:28:36and he still throws that ball in
00:28:37there.
00:28:38That was a perfect pass to Brent
00:28:39Jones.
00:28:41I think it's a surprise Brent
00:28:42Jones he probably didn't see him
00:28:45because he had two defensive guys
00:28:48on him between him and 25 yards.
00:28:54It is good with a lot left.
00:28:57Forty niners lead by the score
00:28:58of 10 to 3.
00:29:00Forty one seconds left to play
00:29:02in the first quarter at Texas
00:29:04Stadium.
00:29:04The forty niners can the Cowboys
00:29:07three.
00:29:29The twenty five we talk about a
00:29:51lot of things that have happened
00:29:53and the biggest crowd here at
00:29:54Texas Stadium.
00:29:56We have a guy today right there.
00:29:58This is his 30th anniversary at
00:30:01CBS.
00:30:03Amazing as young as he looks.
00:30:05What a great guy.
00:30:06But you know you work with a lot
00:30:08of different people and Bill
00:30:10Nader is one of the great ones.
00:30:12One of the real gentlemen.
00:30:14This is his 30th CBS birthday
00:30:17today.
00:30:18Happy birthday or anniversary I
00:30:19guess you call it.
00:30:20Yes.
00:30:21A lot of spring in his step.
00:30:28And then the big Donald came up
00:30:30to make this up.
00:30:34One thing this this four man
00:30:35line or this defensive front
00:30:37early in this game is working
00:30:39for the forty niners because
00:30:41what Emmett Smith likes to do is
00:30:43he likes to again run inside
00:30:45between his tackle or start
00:30:47running inside and then cut back
00:30:50but again with those big
00:30:51defensive linemen he's having a
00:30:53tough time finding any running
00:30:54inside.
00:30:56That's the end of the first
00:30:57quarter.
00:30:57San Francisco 10 Dallas 3 Fred
00:31:04Shaw you know Don Griffin they
00:31:08finally just got him up bad.
00:31:09He was he was down there right
00:31:11on the sideline.
00:31:12He was the guy who was covering
00:31:14Michael Irvin on that
00:31:15completion.
00:31:17He just came off the injured
00:31:18list.
00:31:19He had a pulled groin and that
00:31:21injury there didn't look like it
00:31:23was the same injury.
00:31:25He's got to be a little bit
00:31:26better than that.
00:31:27He's got to be a little bit
00:31:28better than that.
00:31:30Michael McGruder number 26 has
00:31:32taken his place and looked like
00:31:34something was wrong with
00:31:36Griffin's arm or hand.
00:31:40In fact he's he's holding his
00:31:41right arm now as he's walking
00:31:43off the field.
00:31:48Information we have is it is a
00:31:50dislocated left shoulder.
00:31:56He's got a cut down by stubble
00:31:58field.
00:31:59I think that's one thing again
00:32:01that this forty niner four man
00:32:02defensive line has done has
00:32:04taken away the cutback.
00:32:06So now Smith is just taking the
00:32:08ball right at the hole and see
00:32:10Don Griffin walking off the
00:32:12field there.
00:32:13He's over the years been the
00:32:14best cover corner in the 49ers
00:32:16and just tell the way he's
00:32:18walking and shaking his head.
00:32:26Irving is split wide to the
00:32:27left price in motion the handoff
00:32:30is there and it's not much
00:32:35stopped again by stubble field
00:32:38Dana stubble field another big
00:32:39guy.
00:32:40Forty niners number one draft
00:32:42choice.
00:32:45They got big guys in there.
00:32:46But when you put Dennis Brown in
00:32:48there and Ted Washington and
00:32:50Dana stubble field you're
00:32:51talking about all guys over 300
00:32:54and you've got Dennis Brown
00:32:56along with Kevin Fagan who over
00:32:58the years has been a great run
00:33:00player.
00:33:01I mean you've got some beef in
00:33:02there.
00:33:03You look at it.
00:33:04It's going to be tired beef
00:33:05pretty soon.
00:33:06It gets it's hot down there and
00:33:08the beast looks like it's
00:33:09starting to tire a little way.
00:33:11Right now they've got the
00:33:12sunshine.
00:33:12Here's a can over check.
00:33:15Bumble.
00:33:16I think he fell on it.
00:33:19Out comes the ball.
00:33:20Novacek was down.
00:33:21Now they say incomplete.
00:33:25Jimmie Johnson you just saw
00:33:26perhaps signal field goal he did
00:33:29when he saw incomplete he he
00:33:31signaled field goal.
00:33:33He wasn't happy about signaling
00:33:34it.
00:33:36Maybe look that's not the kind
00:33:37of start that Jimmie Johnson
00:33:39wanted when his team so far has
00:33:41dropped four passes.
00:33:43Part of it is the Cowboys part
00:33:45of it they've dropped passes.
00:33:47But this 49er defense has played
00:33:49well so far.
00:33:50You might remember last week
00:33:52against the Colts they fouled
00:33:53the Colts they faked a field
00:33:54goal and Novacek ran this time
00:33:56it's on Eddie Murray good.
00:34:02So the Cowboys move a little bit
00:34:04closer.
00:34:05It's 10 6 the 49ers lead.
00:34:12Dallas has had the ball 14
00:34:14minutes and seven seconds.
00:34:16San Francisco 550 and I think
00:34:18it's going to start to tell on
00:34:20this 49er defense because they
00:34:23have a lot of time on that last
00:34:25drive and started to tire.
00:34:26You look at Dennis Brown there.
00:34:28He's getting a retake job at the
00:34:3149ers we're going to have to
00:34:32leave him the rest of the game
00:34:53and he's going to have to stop.
00:34:55OK.
00:34:56I think the biggest collision
00:34:57was with Terry Hogan.
00:34:58It looks like his old man number
00:35:0041.
00:35:01Hope was coming back there at
00:35:03full speed and it looks like the
00:35:05collision watch Carter here and
00:35:07see him hope as he comes back
00:35:09as 41 right there.
00:35:11He was the first guy hit him one
00:35:12of the Cowboys knocked hold
00:35:15around and knocked him right into
00:35:17Carter.
00:35:18And hope just come to something
00:35:21you don't expect it.
00:35:21You don't expect the Red Jersey
00:35:23to fly by it.
00:35:30Fifth up by Thomas Everett has
00:35:32been a great deal without to the
00:35:33thirty five nearly thirty five
00:35:37years.
00:35:40That's the thing about this
00:35:4149er offense a lot like the
00:35:43Cowboy offense you get so
00:35:45concerned with Jerry Rice and
00:35:47John Taylor Ricky Waters in the
00:35:50that a Brent Jones could sneak
00:35:52a right up the middle line.
00:35:53They have so many weapons both
00:35:56offenses Jones already has four
00:35:59catches one of the twenty five
00:36:00second clocks for one of the
00:36:02others is working so we'll
00:36:03continue to use the play clocks
00:36:05on the field.
00:36:20Maybe he just had to say that
00:36:22to get him straight now.
00:36:37Holding against the 49ers is
00:36:38going to be called.
00:36:41One thing this was supposed to
00:36:42be a battle of runners between
00:36:44Ricky Waters and Emmitt Smith
00:36:46Emmitt Smith who's had a tough
00:36:47time he's had a fumble four man
00:36:49and a foul and I think that's
00:36:51only the second time Ricky
00:36:53Waters has carried the ball
00:36:54today.
00:36:55Holding by the offense number 64
00:36:5810 yard penalty.
00:36:59Oh they call it out.
00:37:00Can you know that's an old Bill
00:37:03Walsh thing and he used to you
00:37:06know where teams would say they
00:37:07want to establish the run and
00:37:09they go to the pass and Bill
00:37:10Walsh used to establish the
00:37:12pass and then go to the run
00:37:13later.
00:37:14The 49ers may be thinking of
00:37:16that maybe hiring his defense
00:37:18and then using a running game
00:37:19and Ricky Waters in the second
00:37:21half.
00:37:21If we can get ahead with a
00:37:24running attack control the clock
00:37:26for the running attack.
00:37:28Young is down.
00:37:28Fumble.
00:37:30Cowboys have it or did.
00:37:33Now they do.
00:37:36A fumble popped out and the
00:37:38Cowboys got it.
00:37:40Ken Norton on the bottom of the
00:37:41pile.
00:37:45Darren Smith made the recovery I
00:37:48think he was a little bit
00:37:49concerned.
00:37:50He was a little bit concerned.
00:37:52Norton had an assist and some
00:37:56anger.
00:37:59He was really fired up.
00:38:00That was a big play that the
00:38:02Cowboys needed.
00:38:03Again Ricky Waters is split out
00:38:05as a receiver.
00:38:06I think the Cowboys are starting
00:38:08to just to rush the passer now
00:38:10becoming a blitz.
00:38:11Haley was the guy that got to
00:38:13see Charles Haley.
00:38:14He hit him and then kind of
00:38:16Charles Haley number 94.
00:38:18He comes in there.
00:38:19I think he missed him with his
00:38:20hand and then he like whipped
00:38:22him and got him with his right
00:38:24knee is right not to fall out of
00:38:26there with his right foot.
00:38:27Maybe that's a new way of doing
00:38:29it.
00:38:29Charles Haley knows how to raise
00:38:31habits.
00:38:32That's one thing you may not
00:38:34have great stats or a lot of
00:38:35facts when you put him on
00:38:37defense.
00:38:37He's a playmaker and a havoc
00:38:39raiser.
00:38:46First in 10 at the San Francisco
00:38:4719 that's price in motion.
00:39:01See old Nate Newton didn't know
00:39:02what it was.
00:39:03He didn't expect Troy Aikman
00:39:04never run.
00:39:05Old Nate Newton is out there
00:39:07leading him.
00:39:08He pulls from the left card and
00:39:09old Nate just stands out there
00:39:11and blocking and blocking and
00:39:12there was no one to block and he
00:39:13wouldn't lead Aikman.
00:39:14That's what Aikman was mad at.
00:39:16He wanted old Nate to get going.
00:39:18Nate says Troy is not supposed to
00:39:20run.
00:39:21It's too valuable to be doing
00:39:22that.
00:39:22So Nate just stood out there and
00:39:25Troy ran right by him and Nate
00:39:27was still standing there to get
00:39:28a lateral maybe second and
00:39:30forward.
00:39:30No the check in motion by Tim
00:39:42McDonald.
00:39:43We get to him and ask him again.
00:39:47I think there's this four man
00:39:48line is doing the job.
00:39:49They're not giving any cutbacks.
00:39:51If we just watch here he's in
00:39:53the eye formation he's going to
00:39:54start to the left and we see
00:39:56right here we can just stop it
00:39:58right here.
00:39:59We can see all these forty
00:40:00niners in here and all these
00:40:01bodies.
00:40:02They're not giving him any cut
00:40:03back.
00:40:04They're forcing him to go that
00:40:05way.
00:40:06And then when they got him going
00:40:07that way they're all going that
00:40:09way.
00:40:10And then they can gang tackle
00:40:11and make things happen about a
00:40:26foot away from a touchdown and
00:40:30he's having more success throwing
00:40:32the Michael Irvin when Michael
00:40:34Irvin lines up on the left side
00:40:36see a three step drop just
00:40:38throwing out there that little
00:40:39quick or short out again the
00:40:41ball didn't cross the plate.
00:40:43He tried to get in his right
00:40:45hand so the ball could cross the
00:40:47plane but he had the ball in his
00:40:49left hand first and go from the
00:40:51one the Cowboys move ahead.
00:41:09They're so right about keeping
00:41:11that defense out there a long
00:41:13time aware on that and it's
00:41:16starting to show and again that
00:41:18that's a result of a turnover.
00:41:19Remember how this drive started.
00:41:21It started with a turnover.
00:41:25I formation to get to the right.
00:41:27You're going to see Darrell
00:41:28Johnston right there.
00:41:29Get the block right there on
00:41:31Merton Hanks and then Emmitt
00:41:33Smith can just walk it into the
00:41:35end zone.
00:41:36That's why Darrell Johnston is
00:41:38Murray's extra point is good.
00:41:42So with seven minutes 22 seconds
00:41:44left in the first half.
00:41:45Cowboys 13 49ers 10 13 10 7 22
00:41:52left to play in the first half.
00:41:55This is why Kenneth Gant is a
00:41:57park man when he goes down to
00:42:00kickoff.
00:42:01He does all the celebrating
00:42:02before.
00:42:03He's got a lot of energy.
00:42:04He's got a lot of energy.
00:42:05He's got a lot of energy.
00:42:05He's got a lot of energy.
00:42:06He's got a lot of energy.
00:42:06He's got a lot of energy.
00:42:07He's got a lot of energy.
00:42:08He's got a lot of energy.
00:42:09He's got a lot of energy.
00:42:23They made a couple of trades the
00:42:24Cowboys did.
00:42:26Here's Gant.
00:42:27What do we call him.
00:42:28This is before the kickoff
00:42:29coverage.
00:42:30He goes down there and he gets
00:42:31the fans all excited.
00:42:34He'll go in there and he'll lead
00:42:35the cheers and get them all
00:42:36We're going to get he goes.
00:42:39He looks like Hulk Hogan.
00:42:41I'll tell you one thing he does
00:42:42it before when that ball's
00:42:44kicked off he goes like that.
00:43:06And he said it's coming because
00:43:08he's only carried the ball a
00:43:10couple of times.
00:43:11And I think they've been using
00:43:13him they've been using him as a
00:43:14wide receiver and a decoy a lot
00:43:17and now I think they're going to
00:43:18start looking so far he's only
00:43:20rushed the ball two times for
00:43:21nine yards.
00:43:23Emmitt Smith has 13 rushes 48
00:43:26yards and of course he just
00:43:27scored that touchdown.
00:43:28So I think they're going to get
00:43:30waters into the game now out of
00:43:31the decoy and into the running.
00:43:33They have to calm him down a
00:43:35little bit.
00:43:35They have to calm him down a
00:43:36little bit.
00:43:37He gets too excited.
00:43:51Mark Logan has come in and
00:43:53statistically he's done a good
00:43:54job for the 49ers.
00:43:56He's done a good job of catching
00:43:58and running and all those things
00:44:00but the 49ers don't need another
00:44:02weapon and I think this offense
00:44:05has done a good job and I think
00:44:07Logan's done a job and he's
00:44:09given up some numbers and you
00:44:10can look at the numbers and say
00:44:12they haven't missed Rathman but
00:44:13I feel that if there is an
00:44:15ingredient that's keeping the
00:44:1749ers out of sync I think it's
00:44:19Tom Rathman Tony Tolbert Tony
00:44:31Tolbert shut that run down.
00:44:38You look here here at the right
00:44:40side of the line now.
00:44:41Casillas is a guy he's taken on
00:44:43a double team.
00:44:44You see now he shouldn't make
00:44:46the play.
00:44:47He just got at the bottom of the
00:44:48pile.
00:44:49In fact he really he really
00:44:50didn't.
00:44:51He just piled up the old days
00:44:53used to say when Harris Barton
00:44:55and Ralph Tann when you get
00:44:56double team you just grab grass
00:44:58just go down and grab the grass
00:45:00and that's what Casillas did.
00:45:01Just don't lose ground.
00:45:03Yeah.
00:45:04Just make a pile there.
00:45:05Double team make a pile right.
00:45:08It's not brown but he will have
00:45:11enough for the 49ers to move the
00:45:13change.
00:45:16I think the 49ers offensively
00:45:17batter probably figuring out a
00:45:19couple of things that we have to
00:45:20get Ricky Waters involved more
00:45:23in running the ball and we have
00:45:24to get Jerry Rice involved more
00:45:27in catching pass.
00:45:28We have to call Jimmy Johnson.
00:45:30We don't need to get him more
00:45:31involved.
00:45:45He just turned around and all of
00:45:46a sudden the ball was there.
00:45:50And he has some sweet moves to
00:45:52it.
00:45:52I mean that was the thing.
00:45:54You see more and more players
00:45:55and they go out of bounds and
00:45:58that time he got on the sideline
00:45:59like he's going to better get
00:46:00just planted that right foot
00:46:02bounce right back to the inside
00:46:04and got a first down.
00:46:26Right now let's send you back to
00:46:28New York for an NFL update.
00:46:30All right Pat and at Phoenix
00:46:32Garrison Hearst his first
00:46:33National Football League
00:46:34touchdown from a yard out.
00:46:36Cardinals lead the Redskins 13
00:46:38to three two minutes to play in
00:46:39the first half at Phoenix.
00:46:40Pat.
00:46:43Three forty left to play in the
00:46:44first half here with the Cowboys
00:46:47up by three.
00:46:55And he's going to be the first
00:46:56to play in the first half.
00:47:15Should have been picked off by
00:47:17Larry Brown and Thomas Everett
00:47:18who was back there.
00:47:21Looked like Steve Young got hit
00:47:22just as he was throwing it to
00:47:24the right.
00:47:24He's got a double coverage but
00:47:26it looked like Jerry Rice had
00:47:27beaten the double coverage.
00:47:29Then Steve Young threw the ball
00:47:30short.
00:47:33But you're going to see rice out
00:47:34here he's coming down and he's
00:47:35going to run a post and I think
00:47:38he runs right by the two guys.
00:47:40You see him up there on top.
00:47:42See now he gets right there.
00:47:43See he is behind him and the
00:47:45ball was thrown short at that
00:47:46ball.
00:47:47And out there another 10 yards.
00:47:49That's a 49er touchdown.
00:47:51Third and six.
00:47:54And that's where the Dallas
00:48:10defense is so good when they can
00:48:11get in and third long then get
00:48:14that nickel in there and get
00:48:15Kenneth Gantt Darren Woodson at
00:48:17linebacker position.
00:48:19They are really tough.
00:48:20Chris Meyer back to kick 11
00:48:23punts and now the sixth game
00:48:27that's not a good kick.
00:48:50You know is there anything
00:49:00plainer in the world than a
00:49:02referee's cap.
00:49:05No.
00:49:06I mean how would you buy one of
00:49:07those.
00:49:08How would you buy one of those
00:49:09guys when you go in there and
00:49:10say just give me a plain white
00:49:11cap.
00:49:13I don't think anyone has ever
00:49:15bought one of those caps except
00:49:16a referee.
00:49:18They used to wear black hats.
00:49:20They didn't seem too evil.
00:49:25Yeah but at least the black
00:49:26caps they have white stripes.
00:49:27Right.
00:49:28White is about as plain as you
00:49:30can get.
00:49:32Jimmy Johnson I think would like
00:49:33to get his hands on that white
00:49:36cap.
00:49:40He wouldn't wear a white cap.
00:49:42Now there's there's a white cap
00:49:44that you could wear in this part
00:49:46of the country.
00:49:47Holding by the left hand on the
00:49:50right hand side of the game
00:49:51team before the kick.
00:49:53The penalty is declined.
00:49:55Result is a touchback.
00:49:56First down 3 0 5 left to play in
00:50:03the first half 13 10 Dallas over
00:50:06San Francisco Kevin Fagan he's
00:50:11been out with a bad knee.
00:50:13He had knee problems for the
00:50:15last few years.
00:50:17And then you see Artie Smith is
00:50:19in there.
00:50:19Dennis Brown is in there.
00:50:21So the 49ers have gone back to a
00:50:23three man line.
00:50:28You know you look at that
00:50:29temperature and you can tell that
00:50:31the players are hot down there.
00:50:33I mean this really isn't good
00:50:34football weather for big guys.
00:50:36And I don't think it's 78 or
00:50:39whatever it is but there's a
00:50:40humidity thing to get you down
00:50:42here.
00:50:45In fact there's a tornado a
00:50:47tornado a tornado watch.
00:50:50Right.
00:50:50Yeah.
00:50:51Tornado that's a first you get
00:50:52a tornado watch and you get a
00:50:53tornado warning.
00:50:55And in this in this area there's
00:50:58a tornado watch going.
00:50:59So maybe you know when you get a
00:51:01tornado watch I think you get
00:51:03some humidity and big old guys
00:51:05don't like like humidity or
00:51:07tornado watch time to find
00:51:10another location.
00:51:13Get some cool air blowing on
00:51:15the ground.
00:51:16I mean you don't want to get
00:51:17in the middle of it.
00:51:18No no.
00:51:18I've been told that you got to
00:51:19get the dip.
00:51:22Darryl Johnson for about five
00:51:26yards stopped by Martin Harrison
00:51:30because with all that with all
00:51:32that heat with all that
00:51:33humidity.
00:51:34It takes its toll on guys like
00:51:35Washington and 96 Dennis Brown.
00:51:37You just see you can just tell
00:51:39the way they're standing.
00:51:40I mean you don't even it even
00:51:42hurts you to get in the huddle.
00:51:43I mean you don't want to take
00:51:44too much.
00:51:45You know you don't go all the
00:51:46way to the huddle.
00:51:47You don't want to huddle the end
00:51:50just going to lean your head in
00:51:51a little and call it a second
00:51:53by Dallas first down by Tim
00:52:04McDonald you know Michael Irvin
00:52:09is one of these guys that you
00:52:10know that plays with a lot of
00:52:12life and loves to play the game.
00:52:14He loves to play the game and
00:52:15compete and says he likes it
00:52:17when guys are close to him
00:52:18because he could use his body to
00:52:20ward him off.
00:52:21And then after he gets the ball
00:52:23he never thinks of going down.
00:52:24He always tries to get it as far
00:52:27as you can.
00:52:29Irvin has six catches two
00:52:31minute warning two minutes left
00:52:33in the first half.
00:52:37A look behind the scenes of
00:52:39sports and science converge
00:52:40brought to you by AT&T during
00:52:43the football season players can
00:52:44make of strenuous exercise
00:52:46putting tremendous stress on the
00:52:47feet.
00:52:48Now some players are
00:52:48experimenting with a Dinah pro
00:52:50inner sole system.
00:52:51After determining specific
00:52:53neuromuscular weaknesses the
00:52:54athlete undergoes a multi-step
00:52:56program which involves
00:52:57increasing the density of the
00:52:58arch catalyst in the inner sole
00:53:00system.
00:53:00The program results in greater
00:53:02strength and flexibility in the
00:53:03arches which improves performance
00:53:05on the field AT&T AT&T without a
00:53:09doubt if price were no object

00:53:54If you can combine great taste
00:53:56with less filling you can
00:53:57combine anything and Muffy takes
00:53:59it.
00:54:00That's one fast wiener dog.
00:54:02Great taste less filling.
00:54:03Can your beer do this.
00:54:05This is good beer.
00:54:09Two minutes left in the first
00:54:11half at Texas Stadium.
00:54:12Pat Summerall with John Madden
00:54:1413 10 fans on both sides.
00:54:18John Madden was talking about
00:54:20the humidity a moment ago.
00:54:22And it's always the big guys
00:54:24that try and fight the fans.
00:54:26And the other thing is when
00:54:28you get a break you see Dennis
00:54:30Brown he's he's so tired right
00:54:31now you don't even care where
00:54:33the water goes but he's not
00:54:35going to have he's going to have
00:54:36someone squirted into more of
00:54:37it.
00:54:38He just couldn't perform more.
00:54:40You'll keep squirting water
00:54:41towards my head.
00:54:42Two minutes left first and first
00:54:44in 10 Dallas not enough for a
00:54:53first down this time.
00:54:54It was fast.
00:54:56How about a Magruder wrapped him
00:54:58up.
00:54:59You know and then the tough
00:54:59part.
00:55:00I mean here's big Dennis Brown.
00:55:01Now he has to go against big
00:55:03Kevin Gogan.
00:55:04So you not only get the hot the
00:55:06humidity the tornado warning and
00:55:09all that stuff.
00:55:09But then you have to go against
00:55:10a three hundred and twenty pound
00:55:12guy.
00:55:12Kevin Golden is going to win in
00:55:14that battle.
00:55:15That's about six hundred and
00:55:16fifty pounds.
00:55:24That will be a Dallas first
00:55:26down Romanowski made the stop.
00:55:30And it's of course late.
00:55:32Missed the entire training camp
00:55:34and the first two games of the
00:55:35regular season.
00:55:37Now says he's just got to get
00:55:38his just getting back in shape.
00:55:55Dear Midas my brakes were making
00:55:58a terrible squeaky noise.
00:56:00I brought my car to your
00:56:01competitor and without any
00:56:02inspection he said you need new
00:56:04brakes.
00:56:05Then I went to my manager.
00:56:07Hi I'm Tom Kirshner had a
00:56:09thorough inspection done and
00:56:11said you don't need new brakes.
00:56:12The squeaking noise is caused by
00:56:14brake dust.
00:56:15Such honesty is refreshing in
00:56:16the time of auto repair ripoffs.
00:56:18Yours truly Frank J.
00:56:20Rudder.
00:56:25Little Caesars Chaser Chaser is
00:56:27back with a minute and twenty
00:56:29one seconds left to play in the
00:56:30first half.
00:56:31Dallas leads their total play.
00:56:37Dallas has two timeouts left.
00:56:39The 49ers have all three of
00:56:41them.
00:56:56The first half this this cowboy
00:56:59team has done a good job on
00:57:01first down and that's that's
00:57:02what helps you on second and
00:57:04third down.
00:57:05And most of the time you're
00:57:06getting over four yards and
00:57:09that's the big thing.
00:57:10If you don't make anything on
00:57:11first down then you're going to
00:57:12have a second long and a third
00:57:14long second and six Kevin Fagan
00:57:29made the stop.
00:57:32It's a Dallas timeout.
00:57:33So they have one left.
00:57:35No no.
00:57:36Second timeout support a second
00:57:39timeout 13 10.
00:57:43Cowboys lead we'll be back in
00:57:48the first half at Texas Stadium.
00:57:51Now that son is off the field.
00:57:55So it shouldn't be a factor
00:57:56anymore.
00:57:56If it ever was 13 10 a minute
00:58:00two seconds left.
00:58:01Dennis Brown is still trying to
00:58:02get that oxygen anywhere he can
00:58:04find it.
00:58:05And I don't think there's a lot
00:58:05of it down in that field.
00:58:07No.
00:58:08And then you know and then he's
00:58:09going to get his play in that
00:58:10left side which is the right
00:58:12side of the cowboy offense which
00:58:14has that big Kevin Gogan.
00:58:16You know and that's a big load
00:58:17and he's a Kevin Gogan is a
00:58:19local guy out of Daly City
00:58:20California.
00:58:22And right next to him is Eric
00:58:23Williams.
00:58:24So you know Brown got this heat
00:58:26to deal with.
00:58:27And he's got a lot of it down in
00:58:29that field.
00:58:29So he's got this heat to deal
00:58:31with a tornado watch to deal
00:58:33with and then Eric Williams and
00:58:34Kevin Gogan to deal with.
00:58:36I don't think he knows about the
00:58:37tornado.
00:58:38No wonder he's so tired.
00:58:42Got enough for the first down.
00:58:45Just nudged it far enough.
00:58:49Dallas trying to get lined up in
00:58:50a hurry.
00:58:52Clock continues to run now with
00:58:54forty five seconds left.
00:59:00And timeout and what they have
00:59:03to do is they need they need
00:59:05about another 15 yards.
00:59:06I mean they they need to get it
00:59:08down there where you know it's a
00:59:10comfortable they could probably
00:59:12do it with another 10 yards.
00:59:14You know where it's a
00:59:15comfortable field goal for
00:59:16Murray.
00:59:19Stop the clock with the.
00:59:21Eggman grounding the ball.
00:59:23So they still have one time out
00:59:24remaining.
00:59:25So that means they can throw it
00:59:27inside.
00:59:27And out here in the left hand
00:59:28side.
00:59:29They just took the time out.
00:59:31It was San Francisco took the
00:59:32time out.
00:59:33I think they were going to throw
00:59:34it urban on the left side.
00:59:37So the 49ers are down to two
00:59:39timeouts left.
00:59:40If they get the ball back.
00:59:44So Mike you're one of the last
00:59:45in the neighborhood pharmacists
00:59:4613 10 Dallas leading.
00:59:50And again that was a 49er time
00:59:52out so the Cowboys do have one
00:59:54So that means that you don't
00:59:56have to throw the ball in the
00:59:57end zone or you don't have to
00:59:58get out of bounds you can throw
00:59:59it in.
01:00:00Michael Irvin's best pattern
01:00:02favorite pattern is when they
01:00:04call a deep in up the field into
01:00:07the inside.
01:00:08He's on the left side.
01:00:09That's where a man likes to look
01:00:10for.
01:00:11I would expect he'll be double.
01:00:25As he stepped up into the
01:00:26pocket that was a big play for
01:00:28that 49er defense because of
01:00:30anything that they couldn't
01:00:31take.
01:00:32Here's double field right here.
01:00:34If there's anything that the
01:00:35that the Cowboys couldn't take
01:00:37it was a sack watch him he's
01:00:38against Nate Newton.
01:00:40That's just a bull rush.
01:00:41He gets made up then he gets
01:00:42him going back and just pushes
01:00:44him right back then takes that
01:00:46left and whacks Aikman in the
01:00:48head.
01:00:50Now this is what he was looking
01:00:51at.
01:00:52But if Nate Newton doesn't get
01:00:54that guy blocked he's not going
01:00:55to throw it to him.
01:00:57He's out there to the right
01:00:57side.
01:00:58There was no one open on the
01:00:59right side.
01:01:01They doubled Michael Irvin on
01:01:03the left side.
01:01:04So part of it was good coverage.
01:01:07Part of it was a good rush by
01:01:08stubble field and the bad part
01:01:11of it was the Cowboys with big
01:01:12old Nate Newton got pushed right
01:01:14back into his quarterback and
01:01:15when they stepped up he stepped
01:01:17right in to stubble field left
01:01:19hooker stubble field going Greg
01:01:21Terry and Eric Dickerson for all
01:01:23of the greatest scores and
01:01:24highlights.
01:01:26Plus a preview of tonight's
01:01:27World Series game two between
01:01:29the Phillies and the Blue Jays
01:01:31third and 15.
01:01:34I like that the other night the
01:01:35Phillies were playing and big
01:01:36old John Crutch just just blew
01:01:38out the back of his pants and
01:01:40played the whole game that way.
01:01:42He reminds me of a nose tap.
01:01:44He ought to be down here at
01:01:45Texas Stadium playing.
01:01:46No here is Aikman back to throw
01:01:51and he does get out of.
01:01:53He gets out of it for the first
01:01:55down and they still have 34
01:01:58seconds left on the clock.
01:02:00You could tell that they needed
01:02:01to play.
01:02:02They needed to get in the field
01:02:03goal you know they're going to
01:02:04go to Michael Irvin.
01:02:06They put him on the left.
01:02:07That's where they like him
01:02:08today.
01:02:09And you see how big and strong
01:02:10he is.
01:02:11He always has a little push for
01:02:14you.
01:02:14And right there just before he
01:02:16made his turn he pushed Michael
01:02:18McGruder and then made the out
01:02:20but you darn near knew they were
01:02:22going to go to Michael Irvin on
01:02:23the left.
01:02:23He's going to push when he makes
01:02:25a cut.
01:02:25That's how he gets open.
01:02:27There's a blitz that was a big
01:02:37comeback from the sack that that
01:02:39that play to Michael Irvin
01:02:40because they were getting close
01:02:42to field goal range.
01:02:43They got a sack.
01:02:44They knocked it out.
01:02:45He come right back.
01:02:46Boom.
01:02:47And he hit Michael Irvin.
01:02:49See if you look at the last play
01:02:51you look at how Michael Irvin
01:02:52got in there and set him up.
01:02:54You see McGruder was playing
01:02:56that deep in that he liked.
01:02:57So he stepped in.
01:02:59So then on the next play after
01:03:00he got him on the end then he
01:03:02gets him on the out.
01:03:03Here's the last play.
01:03:05They just flushed a run.
01:03:07Johnson flushed him out second
01:03:09at four.
01:03:19Here's something.
01:03:21Boy he's good.
01:03:21He's a playmaker.
01:03:23You know Jimmy Johnson always
01:03:24talks about playmakers guys
01:03:26that'll make plays and you get
01:03:27the idea with Michael Irvin that
01:03:29in any tough situation you'll
01:03:31end of the half end of the game
01:03:33you need to play.
01:03:34He wants the ball.
01:03:35He probably wants the ball more
01:03:37than anyone else on this field.
01:03:40Then when he gets it he wants to
01:03:41score a touchdown.
01:03:42That time he got it switched to
01:03:44his right hand but he didn't get
01:03:46close enough to the goal line.
01:03:48And when you have 17 brothers
01:03:49and sisters and Michael Irvin
01:03:51does once you get the ball you
01:03:54do take off with the 49ers take
01:03:59this time out.
01:03:59Now they had to bet that 12 men
01:04:01on the field they had to get
01:04:04someone off so they had to take
01:04:06the time out nine catches.
01:04:12Here's his night.
01:04:14Well you know he's done
01:04:15everything over here to McGruder.
01:04:16Here he just runs a slant.
01:04:18He's got a slant.
01:04:19He's got a slant.
01:04:19He's got a slant.
01:04:20But then not only that but then
01:04:22he runs a slant and the minute
01:04:23he catches he's thinking where
01:04:25he can go.
01:04:25He feels McGruder's outside so
01:04:27he pivots and goes back outside
01:04:30where McGruder is coming in from.
01:04:32He is.
01:04:32That's probably why he's lined
01:04:34up there.
01:04:35We know that Don Griffin is out
01:04:39and then McGruder came in and
01:04:41he's been playing that position.
01:04:42So Michael Irvin said I found one
01:04:44over here.
01:04:46So he's been playing and catching
01:04:47and he's been playing and
01:04:48catching and he's been playing
01:04:49and he's been playing and
01:04:50Griffin went out.
01:04:52They marked the ball at the
01:04:53threes.
01:04:55It'll be first and go from there
01:04:57with 22 seconds left to play in
01:04:59the first half.
01:05:01This has to be a passing down
01:05:03because the Cowboys have no more
01:05:04time out.
01:05:15And the Cowboys don't have any
01:05:17timeouts.
01:05:18Jimmie Johnson and from Aikman
01:05:22trying to get lined up in a
01:05:23hurry.
01:05:23Sixteen seconds left.
01:05:33Jimmie Johnson didn't have any
01:05:35timeouts that they had to get
01:05:36back there and some of the
01:05:37receivers were still in the end
01:05:39zone.
01:05:40In fact Michael Irvin there was
01:05:42one of them and they were all
01:05:43telling him to hustle back
01:05:44hustle back.
01:05:45And he said I'm not going to
01:05:46hustle back.
01:05:47Michael Irvin said I've already
01:05:48done a day's work in this first
01:05:50half.
01:05:51Jimmie Johnson's going for
01:05:53another one.
01:05:54Again he's going for the shot in
01:05:56the end zone has to throw the
01:05:57ball in the end zone.
01:05:59If it's incomplete.
01:06:01Then he'll feel good.
01:06:07In the direction.
01:06:09Of Alvin Harper incomplete.
01:06:11And here comes the field goal
01:06:12unit.
01:06:13He was probably lucky that that
01:06:15was a good shot.
01:06:16And he was able to get it in the
01:06:17end zone Harper would have gotten
01:06:19that ball and then got tackled
01:06:21there they would have had a
01:06:22scramble to get the ball down
01:06:25again.
01:06:25And if you're not going to throw
01:06:27it in the end zone it's
01:06:28probably better to throw it in
01:06:30the way past.
01:06:32Eddie Murray.
01:06:45Dallas leads.
01:06:47Twenty nine yard field goal by
01:06:48Eddie Murray the ex Detroit
01:06:50Lions.
01:06:52I think the big thing about this
01:06:54first half is not as much as 16
01:06:57to 10 lead but is the amount of
01:06:59time the Cowboy offense has been
01:07:01on the field and really made
01:07:03that 49er defense work because
01:07:06they have really drained that
01:07:07defense in this first half.
01:07:09Yet they have been able to come
01:07:11up with only 16 points.
01:07:13I think it's going to show in
01:07:14that time of possession I think
01:07:15it's going to show in the drain
01:07:16in the second half.
01:07:18The 49ers maybe surprised him
01:07:20with that four man line.
01:07:22I think they did.
01:07:23It was very successful
01:07:24especially taking away the run
01:07:26David Smith or specifically the
01:07:28cutback.
01:07:34Dallas has had the ball almost
01:07:3619 minutes seven keeping that
01:07:3949er defense on the field.
01:07:43Yeah and the 49ers are again
01:07:45trying to play a big man defense
01:07:48and when you know the big men
01:07:50are the first guys that are
01:07:51going to get tired.
01:07:56This is probably going to be
01:07:57some kind of squid kick or
01:07:59squib kick because squid kick
01:08:01squib kick because he is with
01:08:03can't get didn't get back there
01:08:05and fire up the crowd line drive
01:08:09kick the splitter the squib
01:08:12kick into the end zone in any
01:08:15case where the 49ers down 10
01:08:19seconds left in the first half
01:08:23seven seconds.
01:08:24Beg your pardon.
01:08:27I think the 49ers are probably
01:08:29just going to obviously they're
01:08:30just going to run this out and
01:08:32go in and kind of regroup and
01:08:35get refreshed and do all those
01:08:37things the Cowboys will again
01:08:39probably be talking about that
01:08:40four man line and making their
01:08:42adjustments to that 49ers will
01:08:44probably be thinking about how
01:08:46they can get Ricky Waters more
01:08:48involved in this game 49ers as
01:08:53you said we'll just run it out.
01:08:56So that's the end of the first
01:08:58half with the score Dallas 16 San
01:09:01Francisco 10 time at Texas
01:09:08Stadium the Cowboys leading the
01:09:11San Francisco 49ers 16 to 10 the
01:09:19first back at Texas Stadium Pat
01:09:21Summerall John Madden 16 10 the
01:09:25Cowboys lead the 49ers and let's
01:09:28look at some of the first half
01:09:30statistics we'll look on that
01:09:32way.
01:09:33Well you can see the guy
01:09:34McIntyre is trying to fire this
01:09:36up.
01:09:37I think the Cowboys are going to
01:09:37be a little bit more aggressive
01:09:38than the 49er team up because
01:09:41they had things going early and
01:09:43then in the second quarter they
01:09:44seemed to lose the momentum.
01:09:46You could just say they're
01:09:47getting beaten in in rushing
01:09:49yards and they're getting beaten
01:09:51in passing yards.
01:09:52They both had have a turnover.
01:09:54But the big thing Pat to me is
01:09:56still this time of possession
01:09:58where the Cowboys had the ball
01:09:59almost 19 minutes and that wore
01:10:02down that 49er defense.
01:10:06That was on the artificial
01:10:07surface.
