00:00:00♪♪
00:00:23We have a sellout at the Hoosier Dome, and many of the fans will be cheering for the Cowboys.
00:00:27Dallas Cowboys make their first visit ever to the Hoosier Dome
00:00:31to take on the Indianapolis Colts in an inter-conference battle.
00:00:35Hello again, everyone. Along with Randy Cross, I'm Dick Stockton.
00:00:38The Cowboys with an impressive win over Green Bay now, even on the year of 2-2.
00:00:42But Jimmy Johnson, the head coach of Dallas, did not mince any words.
00:00:45He said, look, I'm in trouble if I have to psych up my team.
00:00:48The fact is, we are better than the Indianapolis Colts, and we should beat this team today.
00:00:52Well, Dallas has got that old confidence, the cockiness, the arrogance that winning brings on.
00:00:56But, you know, Jimmy Johnson should be a little bit worried about this game today
00:01:00because I think Indy played great in this dome, and the confidence level could get over to the arrogance.
00:01:05It could be a problem.
00:01:06Colts, of course, 2-2 as well, and they're going again with Jack Trudeau as their quarterback, Randy.
00:01:10They're going to go with Trudeau at quarterback.
00:01:12The most important thing for Jack Trudeau is first down.
00:01:14He's got to get at least four yards to take the pressure off him.
00:01:17And their defense must force Troy Aikman and the Dallas offense to do something they haven't done
00:01:21since their first two losses, and that's turn the ball over and make mistakes.
00:01:26And Jimmy Johnson, who has a chance to go over the 500 mark for the first time ever in regular season
00:01:32with a victory today.
00:01:33Remember, he was 1-15 in his first season.
00:01:36And Ted Marchabrota, who is 62 years old, returned to the Colts last year
00:01:41and led them to a 9-7 record, although Marchabrota will be quick to tell you
00:01:45it was a deceptive 9-7.
00:01:47They won their last five games against not the top quarterbacks in the league, though.
00:01:53Marchabrota's got a different leadership ability and quality about him.
00:01:56It's very much a quiet confidence.
00:01:58He instills that confidence in his players.
00:02:00He's not a yeller.
00:02:01He's not a screamer.
00:02:02He's more a guy, if they don't perform, it's almost like being disappointed
00:02:05you didn't do something for your dad.
00:02:07You know, your dad used to look at you and say, wouldn't say I'm mad,
00:02:10wouldn't say I'm angry.
00:02:11He says, I'm disappointed.
00:02:12There is Kenneth Gant on the left and Kevin Williams on the right.
00:02:15The Cowboys won the toss, and they'll receive.
00:02:17And Dean Biasucci will kick off for the Colts.
00:02:20Yeah, Marchabrota's the kind of guy you want to go see for dinner on Thanksgiving Day.
00:02:28The confidence and the cockiness, Dick, is going to show up early,
00:02:31especially in special teams.
00:02:32If the Cowboys aren't ready, you'll see it early.
00:02:39Colts and the Cowboys and a sea of blue in the crowd today and on the field as well.
00:02:45And a booming kick headed over to Kevin Williams,
00:02:49and he'll down it in the end zone for a touchback.
00:02:52So, the Cowboys go on offense.
00:02:54Troy Aikman, the number one rated passer in the NFC with all the bumps and bruises.
00:02:58And the offensive line, outstanding work by 2 and 8.
00:03:01Newton, Stepnoski, outstanding right side, in particular,
00:03:04with Gogan and Eric Williams.
00:03:06Emmitt Smith and Darrell Johnston in the backs.
00:03:08The Wildcats in the middle.
00:03:11Emmitt Smith and Darrell Johnston in the backs.
00:03:13The wide receivers, Michael Urban and Alvin Harper and the tight end, Jay Novacek.
00:03:17A brilliant quartet and quintet, we should say, of firepower on offense.
00:03:25First down on the 20-yard line.
00:03:30Operating out of the I-formation.
00:03:34And a play-action pass on first down.
00:03:36And a pass to Darrell Johnston, the fullback,
00:03:39and he gets nearly nine yards on the play with Jeff Harad,
00:03:43the linebacker, making the stop.
00:03:45Colts defensive line, 300-pounders up front with John Hand,
00:03:49Tony Siragusa, the number one pick last year,
00:03:51Steve Entman and Skip McClendon.
00:03:54The strength is the linebackers, Harad, Quentin Corriott, and Dwayne Bickett.
00:03:58And in the secondary, Eugene Daniel, Jason Belzer, John Baylor,
00:04:02and Chris Gould, who did not play against the Broncos last week.
00:04:08Second down and one.
00:04:10They bring out Johnston wide to the left and hand off to Emmitt Smith,
00:04:13and he's going to be stopped short.
00:04:15They have lost the yard on the play,
00:04:17and leading the charge was Skip McClendon, the defensive end.
00:04:22And these Colts are ready for the Cowboys' offense.
00:04:24From the standpoint, they realize the Cowboys' objective
00:04:27is to spread you out much like a run-and-shoot offense
00:04:30and open up the inside running game for Emmitt Smith.
00:04:33But with guys like Siragusa and Entman in the middle,
00:04:35Rich Venturi, who's the defensive coordinator right there,
00:04:38he knows he's got a strong base in the middle.
00:04:41It'll be third down and two, and Jim Price,
00:04:44who was acquired from the L.A. Rams in a trade,
00:04:47the second tight end, is in there number 89.
00:04:51Only one wide receiver on third down,
00:04:53and Emmitt Smith finds the hole,
00:04:55and he'll get the first down off the left side.
00:04:58He brings it out beyond the 30-yard line,
00:05:00a gain of four yards.
00:05:02John Hand and Dwayne Bickett on the tackle.
00:05:04Well, you have your two tight end.
00:05:06Look, that leads you to believe you're going to get motion,
00:05:08but what you get is a huge hole right through here.
00:05:11You talk about spreading out a defense.
00:05:13There's two ways to do it.
00:05:14You spread them out or you blow them out,
00:05:16and right there, Newton and Stepnovski in 2 and A
00:05:18just blew that side of the Colt defense away.
00:05:21Last week, the wide receivers had a ball against Green Bay,
00:05:25and let's see if the running backs can do it this time.
00:05:28Open the throw on first down,
00:05:30and the pass to Michael Irvin is caught,
00:05:32and he is close to a first down, maybe short by a yard.
00:05:35Eugene Daniel, the cornerback, in on the play,
00:05:38and a gain of nine yards.
00:05:40First down for the Colts in general is going to be important,
00:05:43not only for their offense, but also for their defense,
00:05:45because when you get this Cowboys offense,
00:05:47eight, nine, seven yards on first down,
00:05:50you open up their whole playbook.
00:05:52It enables them to run on second down.
00:05:54It enables them to pass on third down.
00:05:56It enables them to go deep.
00:05:58Seven catches for 155 yards,
00:06:01and a touchdown grab last week against the Packers.
00:06:04Second down and one.
00:06:05Alvin Harper is in motion.
00:06:07And again, they go to Eric Smith, looking for room.
00:06:10He's trapped and thrown for another loss
00:06:12inside the 40-yard line.
00:06:15So the Colt defense clogging the middle,
00:06:17and once again, Skip McClendon,
00:06:19the former Cincinnati Bengal, in on the play.
00:06:22And if you are getting spread out,
00:06:24the most important thing, control the line of scrimmage.
00:06:27Play on their side of the ball,
00:06:29and don't give the running back anywhere to go.
00:06:32You saw Steve Emtman made the initial penetration,
00:06:35and a great job by the other six guys up front
00:06:37in that front seven of maintaining their lanes
00:06:40and filling on Emtman.
00:06:41A loss of three yards.
00:06:43So once again, the Cowboys have third down and four.
00:06:46Price is in again as the second tight end.
00:06:50Novacek in motion.
00:06:52The time has passed.
00:06:53Up the middle is overthrown.
00:06:55Price was the intended receiver,
00:06:56and Randy, he was wide open in Colt territory.
00:07:00I don't know if the Colts bothered to read the flip card.
00:07:03You get the lineups,
00:07:04and you get the starting lineups and the rosters.
00:07:06They didn't have 89 in their game plan,
00:07:08because watch the middle of the field.
00:07:10Look at Price.
00:07:12Absolutely wide open.
00:07:13You saw Koryat and Bickett in the middle
00:07:15sort of look at each other with a...
00:07:17That wasn't relief.
00:07:18That was near panic before that ball went over his head.
00:07:21So John Jett, the rookie punter,
00:07:23and there is Clarence Burdan, the veteran,
00:07:26two-time Pro Bowl specialist,
00:07:28back to receive for the Colts.
00:07:31A low kick,
00:07:33and Burdan on the run at the 25-yard line.
00:07:36A penalty marker is down,
00:07:37and Burdan is stopped almost in his tracks
00:07:40after a three-yard return.
00:07:42Making the play was Brock Marion,
00:07:44but there is a flag down,
00:07:45and we'll hear from Gordon McCarter,
00:07:47our referee today.
00:07:48I was dropped right in the area
00:07:50of the illegal receiver downfield.
00:07:52Illegal man, yep.
00:07:55I think if you're the Colts,
00:07:57you decline this penalty,
00:07:58and you don't take it.
00:07:59You take the ball.
00:08:00You don't want to give a punter,
00:08:02even after an effort like that,
00:08:03you don't want to give him another shot
00:08:05at booming one next time.
00:08:06Yeah, this is not bad field position
00:08:08for the Colts on their 26-yard line.
00:08:11Ineligible downfield,
00:08:12number 39 kicking team.
00:08:14Penalty declined, first down.
00:08:17Derek Gaynor got down too quick,
00:08:19so we're going to take a break,
00:08:20and Ted Marchabrota's Colts
00:08:22will get the ball on offense
00:08:23for the first time when we come back.
00:08:26Your veteran Jack Trudeau
00:08:28termed a wily veteran
00:08:30by Ted Marchabrota yesterday.
00:08:31What is a wily veteran in your book, Randy?
00:08:33It's not a guy that's only played
00:08:35eight or nine years in the league.
00:08:36I mean, Montana's a wily veteran.
00:08:38Bill Sims is a wily veteran.
00:08:40Jack Trudeau has been a recipient
00:08:42of a lot of hits,
00:08:43and he's got a chance to win
00:08:44some ballgames here,
00:08:45but he's got a great attitude.
00:08:46He knows if Jeff George
00:08:47is completely healthy,
00:08:48and that wrist wasn't hurt,
00:08:49he wouldn't be starting.
00:08:51Sean Dawkins, the rookie from Pal,
00:08:53is in there as a third-wide receiver
00:08:54on first down from the 26.
00:08:58Potts, the running back,
00:08:59gets the call, gets a good hold
00:09:00on first down.
00:09:02Roosevelt Potts,
00:09:04second-round pick from northeast Louisiana
00:09:06and one to watch,
00:09:07picks up nine yards
00:09:08with Edwards and Smith
00:09:09making the tackle.
00:09:11Up front, Will Wolford,
00:09:12the former Buffalo Bill,
00:09:13with Randy Dixon at left guard,
00:09:14Kirk Loudermilk, the former Viking,
00:09:16William Schultz and Jeff Ross Moss,
00:09:18who came over from the Cowboys
00:09:19in a trade a few years ago.
00:09:21Anthony Johnson and Potts
00:09:22in the backfield.
00:09:23Reggie Langhorne and Jesse Hester
00:09:25are the wide receivers,
00:09:26and Kerry Cash is the tight end.
00:09:29Second down and one for Trudeau.
00:09:34Again, three-wide receiver lineup
00:09:36for the Colts.
00:09:37They give it to Potts,
00:09:38and Potts will get the first down.
00:09:40He's very tough to bring down,
00:09:41over about 250 pounds,
00:09:43a gain of five,
00:09:44with Tolbert and Edwards that time.
00:09:46Cowboys defense.
00:09:48Up front, Haley, Russell Maryland,
00:09:50Tony Casillas, and Tony Tolbert,
00:09:52who made the last tackle.
00:09:54The linebackers
00:09:55and the rookie Darren Smith
00:09:56on the weak side,
00:09:57Ken Norton in his first start
00:09:58as a middle linebacker,
00:09:59playing well.
00:10:00Brown and Everett,
00:10:01Woodson and Kevin Smith
00:10:03in the secondary.
00:10:07Second down and one.
00:10:08The formation hasn't changed yet
00:10:09for the Colts.
00:10:12Showing blitz,
00:10:13and here comes the blitz
00:10:14in the play-action pass.
00:10:16Trudeau lays it in,
00:10:17and it's caught,
00:10:18and it'll be a first down.
00:10:25Reggie Langhorne.
00:10:27Nice job, Dick,
00:10:28on what appeared to be an audible
00:10:29as the Dallas Cowboys show blitz.
00:10:31Look at Edwards sneaking up.
00:10:33They're blitzing from the inside.
00:10:34They're blitzing from the inside-outside.
00:10:36Loudermilk gets a combination.
00:10:38Roosevelt Potts gets a great
00:10:41blitz pickup on his part,
00:10:43and Trudeau,
00:10:45just a very confident throw out there
00:10:48to Reggie Langhorne.
00:10:49This is the start the Colts needed.
00:10:51Fourteen-yard pickup
00:10:52in the Cowboy territory.
00:10:54Both wide receivers
00:10:55caught only two passes
00:10:56last week against them.
00:10:58They go to Potts up the middle.
00:10:59Roosevelt Potts has another first down.
00:11:02Everett makes the tackle
00:11:03after a 12-yard pickup.
00:11:06Big Rosie, they call him.
00:11:07He says he's a tailback
00:11:09with a full-back body.
00:11:11Well, Butch Davis,
00:11:12the defensive coordinator
00:11:13for the Cowboys,
00:11:14has another name for this guy.
00:11:15Calls him a rolling ball
00:11:16of butcher knives.
00:11:18Nice trap block by Schultz,
00:11:21and you get a guy that's 200.
00:11:22He says he slimmed down.
00:11:23He goes, lost a lot of weight.
00:11:24I've really slimmed down.
00:11:25I'm 252.
00:11:26Rosie, you were 258.
00:11:27He goes, it's all in my mind.
00:11:28Makes a big difference.
00:11:29I can run.
00:11:30And he sure can.
00:11:31Here he is again
00:11:32off the left side.
00:11:34He's got about 30 yards
00:11:35deemed already
00:11:36with 9.14 to go
00:11:37in the first quarter.
00:11:38A 3-yard pickup,
00:11:39and Everett,
00:11:40the free safety again
00:11:41on the tackle.
00:11:42And one thing this does
00:11:43really, Dick,
00:11:44for the Indianapolis Colts
00:11:45is it negates
00:11:46the speed difference
00:11:47between this offense
00:11:48and defense.
00:11:49Dallas has a very,
00:11:50very fast defense,
00:11:51but if somebody's
00:11:52blasting you in the face
00:11:53and running right at you,
00:11:54it's really hard
00:11:55to utilize speed.
00:11:56Then you're trying
00:11:57to utilize strength
00:11:58where the Colts have an edge
00:11:59on this defensive front seven.
00:12:00Colts are doing
00:12:01what the Cowboys
00:12:02wanted to do,
00:12:03spread the defense
00:12:04and hand the ball
00:12:05off to Smith
00:12:06while he pats the man.
00:12:07And there he is again
00:12:08on a difficult handoff
00:12:09that time by Trudeau
00:12:11on second and seven.
00:12:13Fortunate the Colts
00:12:14did not fumble on that play
00:12:15where Russell Maryland
00:12:16was right there.
00:12:19Well, for the second play
00:12:20in a row, too,
00:12:21Potts is coming out
00:12:22of his shoes.
00:12:23He's the way he's running.
00:12:24He should be coming
00:12:25out of his shoes.
00:12:26And there's Big Rosie
00:12:27right there.
00:12:28And, you know,
00:12:29he is the guy, I think,
00:12:30that has been the missing
00:12:31part of this offense.
00:12:32This offense hasn't had
00:12:33a 100-yard rusher
00:12:34since Dickerson in 91.
00:12:35It's something that
00:12:36Jeff George has never had
00:12:37as quarterback.
00:12:39He's gotten beaten to death
00:12:40practically in these games.
00:12:41And now Trudeau
00:12:42has got the advantage
00:12:43of having a guy
00:12:44that's running.
00:12:45James Washington
00:12:46is in for the Cowboys
00:12:47as an extra defensive back.
00:12:49Third down and nine
00:12:50following the loss
00:12:51of two yards.
00:12:52Trudeau has some time
00:12:53and his pass
00:12:54into coverage
00:12:55and it's picked off
00:12:56by Thomas Everett.
00:13:00And the Cowboys
00:13:01blunt a Colt
00:13:03offensive parry there
00:13:04at a 17-yard return
00:13:05as Trudeau has thrown
00:13:07his fifth interception
00:13:08of the season.
00:13:10It'll be Dallas ball again
00:13:11in a scoreless game
00:13:12in Indianapolis.
00:13:19It'll be a first down
00:13:20on the 32-yard line
00:13:21following the interception
00:13:22by Thomas Everett.
00:13:24So each team
00:13:25has had the ball once.
00:13:26We've had a turnover
00:13:27and the pass out on the flat
00:13:28is to Emmitt Smith.
00:13:30Good spin move by Smith
00:13:31and he'll get the first down.
00:13:34And is tackled
00:13:35close to midfield
00:13:36by Quentin Couriot.
00:13:39A gain of 15.
00:13:40Let's look at the play
00:13:41that gave him the ball.
00:13:42Watch Everett
00:13:43play great center field
00:13:44but watch Johnson
00:13:45come out here
00:13:46go in the flat.
00:13:47He is wide open.
00:13:48There is no reason
00:13:49for Trudeau
00:13:50to force this ball downfield.
00:13:52He's got a legitimate
00:13:539 to 10 yards.
00:13:54He's got a first down
00:13:55but he gets greedy
00:13:56and Everett makes him pay.
00:13:58For Everett
00:13:59his 19th career interception.
00:14:01Cowboys now have
00:14:02a first down
00:14:03on their 47 yard line.
00:14:06Again Emmitt Smith
00:14:07going off the left side
00:14:08but he is tripped up.
00:14:10And John Hand
00:14:11might have gotten a big hand
00:14:12on Smith to prevent him
00:14:14from turning the corner.
00:14:15I don't think he got
00:14:16the whole hand on his foot
00:14:17but he got a couple
00:14:18of good strong fingers
00:14:19to bring him down that time.
00:14:21It's a nice play
00:14:22and I actually think
00:14:23Hand's got an argument
00:14:24that he was being held
00:14:25by Mark Thune
00:14:26who's sort of half dragging him down
00:14:28but Hand just gets
00:14:29that right foot of Smith
00:14:30out from underneath him
00:14:31and that's an AstroTurf play.
00:14:33I don't think on grass
00:14:34until he goes down there.
00:14:36One of four
00:14:37number one draft picks
00:14:38in the defensive unit
00:14:39for the Colts.
00:14:41Second down and 10
00:14:42after no gain.
00:14:43Here's Darrell Johnston
00:14:44who was ridden out of bounds
00:14:45by Dwayne Bickett
00:14:46after a pickup of 6 yards.
00:14:48So twice Randy
00:14:49we have seen Johnston
00:14:50normally a blocker
00:14:51go out as a receiver.
00:14:52You know Johnston
00:14:53as everybody knows
00:14:54his nickname's Moose
00:14:55and you get a good indication
00:14:56of the number
00:14:57of Cowboys fans here
00:14:58as he caught that pass
00:14:59and of these 60,000
00:15:00I'd have to say
00:15:01at least easy 20,000
00:15:03of these fans
00:15:04are Cowboys fans.
00:15:05There's a role player personified
00:15:07for the Dallas Cowboys.
00:15:08Johnston who makes
00:15:09it all happen
00:15:10for Aikman
00:15:11in the protection department
00:15:12and for Emmitt Smith as well.
00:15:14Third down and three
00:15:15Jim Price once again
00:15:16is in as the second
00:15:17tight end for Dallas.
00:15:22Aikman tossed to Michael Irvin
00:15:24on a slant play
00:15:25and he got hit hard.
00:15:26He's got the first down
00:15:28to the Colts 35 yard line.
00:15:31He got 11 yards
00:15:32on that play
00:15:33and John Baylor
00:15:34the strong safety
00:15:35made the tackle on Irvin.
00:15:37On the NFL today
00:15:38Terry Bradshaw
00:15:39talked about the values
00:15:40of a three step drop
00:15:41and getting the ball
00:15:42out of the quarterback's hand.
00:15:43Great example.
00:15:45Of course it never hurts
00:15:46when you have a Michael Irvin
00:15:47on the other end of that pass
00:15:48who's catching the kind of balls
00:15:49and having the sort of year
00:15:50he's having
00:15:51but little passes like that
00:15:52are great for Irvin
00:15:54but look for Harper.
00:15:55Those set up big plays
00:15:56for Alvin Harper.
00:15:58First down on the 35
00:15:59here's Emmitt Smith
00:16:00may have room
00:16:01off the left side
00:16:04and it was Dwayne Bickett
00:16:05as well as John Baylor
00:16:07coming in to stop Smith
00:16:08after a gain of seven yards.
00:16:10Well here's how Michael Irvin
00:16:12tested the artificial turf
00:16:14prior to the game today.
00:16:16Here's Indianapolis
00:16:17a secret defense right here.
00:16:20What happened?
00:16:21That's when you're
00:16:22in the first thing to do
00:16:23you take off your helmet
00:16:24you look at the ground
00:16:25but you're checking the turf
00:16:26but you know what you're thinking
00:16:27you're looking around the stadium
00:16:28going how many people saw that
00:16:29you think?
00:16:30Probably everybody.
00:16:32You're going boy I'm glad
00:16:33that place has been full
00:16:34during World War II.
00:16:36How embarrassing.
00:16:37Well he's made up for it already.
00:16:38Second down and three
00:16:39on the 28 yard line.
00:16:41Aikman dumps it over the middle
00:16:43to Johnston
00:16:44and the fullback
00:16:45has another first down
00:16:46close to the 15.
00:16:48That time a 12 yard pickup
00:16:51from Aikman
00:16:53Bickett and Baylor
00:16:54again on the tackle.
00:16:55Venturi the defensive coordinator
00:16:57of the Colts
00:16:58says he likes to dial up
00:16:59his defenses
00:17:00and keep the offense guessing.
00:17:01Well right now the Cowboys
00:17:02have sort of stuck a stick
00:17:04in the spokes of that wheel
00:17:05right now
00:17:06and they are guessing right.
00:17:08Venturi one of the more
00:17:09colorful coaches
00:17:10you're going to see.
00:17:11A guy that physically
00:17:12goes through every play
00:17:13with his defense.
00:17:14He twitches
00:17:15he moves
00:17:16he jumps.
00:17:18He's playing as hard as they are.
00:17:20Aikman is 6 for 7
00:17:22and this pass is caught
00:17:24by Dean Daniel
00:17:25has his hands full today
00:17:26covering Michael Irvin
00:17:28that time an 11 yard pickup.
00:17:31And when you talk about
00:17:32dialing in a defense
00:17:33you're talking about
00:17:34making the offense guess.
00:17:36You make them think
00:17:37you're thinking pass
00:17:38when you're thinking run
00:17:39but this time
00:17:40dials his defense
00:17:41again thinks right.
00:17:43Indianapolis is
00:17:45stuffed up in the middle
00:17:46for the run
00:17:47and they get single coverage
00:17:48on the outside
00:17:49and if you can guess
00:17:50single coverage
00:17:51you can also guess
00:17:52six points.
00:17:53First and goal
00:17:54on the 5 yard line
00:17:56and here's Emmitt Smith
00:17:58goes up the middle
00:17:59and is stopped
00:18:00short of the goal line
00:18:01by Jason Belzer.
00:18:02Too many tackles
00:18:03you'd have to say
00:18:04by the Colts secondary
00:18:05in this first quarter
00:18:06as the Colts are ready to
00:18:08give up the first score.
00:18:10Well watch the parting
00:18:11of the blue sea here.
00:18:13There is nobody.
00:18:14You got a lead blocker
00:18:15like Johnston in front of you.
00:18:17I mean Johnston can
00:18:18contribute offensively
00:18:19but you know
00:18:20his greatest contribution
00:18:21to Emmitt Smith
00:18:22in this offense
00:18:23is as a lead blocker.
00:18:24He is the best lead blocker
00:18:25in the league right now.
00:18:27Sort of the smallest guard
00:18:28in the league.
00:18:30Second and goal
00:18:31on the 1 yard line.
00:18:33With less than
00:18:34three and a half to play
00:18:35first quarter
00:18:36wide open
00:18:37Darrell Johnston
00:18:38touchdown
00:18:39and the Cowboys
00:18:40have taken the
00:18:41six to nothing lead.
00:18:45First touchdown catch
00:18:46of the year for Johnston
00:18:48and he was the main man
00:18:49on that drive.
00:18:50And that's one of the drawbacks
00:18:51that were exploited
00:18:52by the 49ers
00:18:54in bringing a guy
00:18:55like Tom Rathman
00:18:56and his use into the league.
00:18:57You get the defense
00:18:58thinking lead block
00:18:59and you're thinking pass
00:19:00to the exact same guy.
00:19:02That opens it wide open.
00:19:04McDonald the linebacker
00:19:0557 he came right at him
00:19:07ran right by him.
00:19:09Troy Aikman was
00:19:10eight for nine
00:19:11in the game thus far
00:19:13and here is Eddie Murray
00:19:14who had a big day last Sunday
00:19:17adds the extra point
00:19:19and it's seven to nothing
00:19:20in favor of the Cowboys.
00:19:23Well you come into the game
00:19:25you worry about Aikman
00:19:26you worry about Emmitt Smith
00:19:27you worry about Harper
00:19:29you worry about Novacek
00:19:31you worry about this guy
00:19:32you better start
00:19:33worrying about him.
00:19:39There's a recipient
00:19:40of Troy Aikman's
00:19:41touchdown toss
00:19:42Darrell Johnston
00:19:43to give the Dallas Cowboys
00:19:44seven nothing lead.
00:19:46Johnston caught three passes
00:19:47on that drive
00:19:48including the clincher.
00:19:49Now Eddie Murray
00:19:50will be kicking off
00:19:51Clarence Burdain
00:19:52and Rodney Culver
00:19:53are back deep for the Colts.
00:19:55It's a returnable kick
00:19:56and it'll be Burdain
00:19:57at the two yard line.
00:20:02Not much room on the right side
00:20:03and he took a tremendous hit
00:20:05that time by James Washington
00:20:07after a return of 18 yards.
00:20:13So the Dallas Cowboys
00:20:14with a scoring drive
00:20:15and they took advantage
00:20:16of the turnover
00:20:17the interception by Everett.
00:20:20They capitalized on that
00:20:21in 432.
00:20:23And the key for the Colts
00:20:24is to keep doing
00:20:25what they were doing
00:20:26on the last drive.
00:20:27You're running the ball well.
00:20:28Great.
00:20:29But don't get greedy
00:20:30like you did last time.
00:20:31Trudeau tried to force the ball
00:20:32he had a 10 yard gain
00:20:33in the flat to Johnston.
00:20:34Be patient.
00:20:36A defense like Dallas
00:20:37is waiting for you
00:20:38to make those kind of mistakes.
00:20:45Here is Potts.
00:20:48You know that he got
00:20:49the Cowboys attention
00:20:50with his running
00:20:51the first time the Colts
00:20:52got the ball.
00:20:53That time the middle linebacker
00:20:54Ken Norton
00:20:55held him to a one yard pickup.
00:20:56We talked earlier
00:20:57about the forte
00:20:58of the Dallas defense
00:20:59is their speed Dick
00:21:00and what you don't want to do
00:21:01is start running laterally
00:21:02and letting them use
00:21:03their best weapon.
00:21:04If you're going to run a Potts
00:21:05it's got to be right in their face
00:21:07right at him.
00:21:08You start pulling tackles
00:21:09and whatnot like Wolford
00:21:10did the last play
00:21:11from the backside
00:21:12that gives the defense
00:21:13time to recover.
00:21:14Kenneth Gantt
00:21:15a defensive back
00:21:16replaces Darren Smith
00:21:17so there's an extra back
00:21:18and one less linebacker
00:21:19on second down
00:21:20and nine to go
00:21:21completes his pass
00:21:22to Kerry Cash
00:21:23the tight end
00:21:24there's a fumble
00:21:25and the Cowboys
00:21:26may have recovered.
00:21:27Yes they do.
00:21:28That's a killer
00:21:29for the Colts
00:21:30and Jimmy Johnson's team
00:21:31will have another
00:21:32big opportunity
00:21:33a fumble on the play
00:21:34by Cash the tight end
00:21:35and Dallas will get the ball
00:21:36again in great field position.
00:21:37The first error
00:21:38was a mental error
00:21:39by the quarterback
00:21:40the second error
00:21:41you'd have to call
00:21:42a physical error
00:21:43there is no way
00:21:44to prepare
00:21:45as a receiver
00:21:46for someone
00:21:47sticking a helmet
00:21:48or a shoulder pad
00:21:49right on the ball.
00:21:50Here you see
00:21:51Ken Norton
00:21:52from his middle
00:21:53linebacker position
00:21:54playing that play well
00:21:55but the one
00:21:56that made the play
00:21:57was Gantt
00:21:58coming in from that
00:21:59cornerback position
00:22:00and sticking right
00:22:01on the ball
00:22:02and that was
00:22:03a foul
00:22:04by the Cowboys
00:22:05and Gantt
00:22:06coming in from
00:22:07that cornerback position
00:22:08and sticking right
00:22:09on the ball
00:22:10Cash I really don't think
00:22:11that's not a problem
00:22:12that's just something
00:22:13that's going to happen.
00:22:14Woodson recovered
00:22:15for the Cowboys
00:22:16a first down
00:22:17on the 22 yard line
00:22:18here's Emmitt Smith
00:22:19trying to test the middle
00:22:20and he picks up
00:22:21two yards on the play
00:22:22Tony Siracusa
00:22:23one of the strong
00:22:24tackles inside
00:22:25making the stop
00:22:26with 2.15
00:22:27remaining
00:22:28in the first quarter
00:22:29It's funny
00:22:30when you look
00:22:31at the Dallas offense
00:22:32as big as their
00:22:33front line is
00:22:34the key to the Dallas
00:22:35offense
00:22:36is speed
00:22:37they got a lot of
00:22:38speed in their
00:22:39skill positions
00:22:40a lot of power
00:22:41up front
00:22:42but especially
00:22:43is speed
00:22:44Two tight ends
00:22:45again
00:22:46and they send
00:22:47Johnston in motion
00:22:48the pitch goes to
00:22:49Emmitt Smith
00:22:50trying to cut inside
00:22:51he does
00:22:52Emmitt Smith
00:22:53he may get it
00:22:54and Smith
00:22:55with a
00:22:56stiff arm
00:22:57and did he get over
00:22:58no soul yet
00:22:59we do not have
00:23:00a call
00:23:01of a touchdown
00:23:02and apparently
00:23:03he did not
00:23:04get in
00:23:05now they do
00:23:06they signal
00:23:07touchdown
00:23:08that was the
00:23:09longest delay
00:23:10before a touchdown
00:23:11call I've seen
00:23:12in quite a while
00:23:13well the problem
00:23:14is the official
00:23:15was checking his
00:23:16body parts
00:23:17after getting
00:23:18smacked on the
00:23:19sideline there
00:23:20he went down
00:23:21in a heap
00:23:22with a couple
00:23:23photographers
00:23:24and a few
00:23:25Colts
00:23:26and Emmitt
00:23:27Smith
00:23:28but there's
00:23:29an example
00:23:30of that speed
00:23:31we talked about
00:23:32like Emmitt
00:23:33does
00:23:34a sweep right
00:23:35where things are
00:23:36being strung
00:23:37strung
00:23:38there's the hole
00:23:39look at him
00:23:40break
00:23:41and now it's
00:23:42just the speed
00:23:43of Emmitt
00:23:44Smith
00:23:45and a dash
00:23:46for the pylon
00:23:47watch what happens
00:23:48at the end
00:23:49and you'll see
00:23:50why the official
00:23:51wasn't too quick
00:23:52to signal that one
00:23:53Daniel and
00:23:54Belzer
00:23:55try to keep
00:23:56Smith from the
00:23:57end zone
00:23:58they failed
00:23:59in that attempt
00:24:00Eddie Murray's
00:24:02there's Jay
00:24:03Novacek with a
00:24:04nice block
00:24:05and here he is
00:24:06as Emmitt
00:24:07Smith sneaks
00:24:08in
00:24:09it's 14-0
00:24:10and time for the
00:24:11Colts to start
00:24:12throwing the ball
00:24:16Emmitt Smith
00:24:17with his second
00:24:18touchdown of the
00:24:19season
00:24:20he said I'm going
00:24:21to catch all those
00:24:22guys ahead of me
00:24:23after missing the
00:24:24first two games
00:24:25of the year
00:24:26in the rushing
00:24:27department
00:24:28here is Murray's
00:24:29kick headed for
00:24:30the Colts
00:24:31and then
00:24:32with great speed
00:24:33penalty markers
00:24:34fly
00:24:35from upfield
00:24:37as Burden
00:24:38is stopped by
00:24:39Matt Van Der Beek
00:24:42Gordon McCarter
00:24:44veteran referee
00:24:49and that's going
00:24:50to set the Colts
00:24:51back a little more
00:24:52well
00:24:53one of the few
00:24:54chances that the
00:24:55Colts had in this
00:24:56game if they would
00:24:57have forced Dallas
00:24:58into turnovers to
00:24:59win the game
00:25:00was not in the script
00:25:01for Ted Marchabrota
00:25:02they've made a lot
00:25:03a lot of mistakes
00:25:04early and they've
00:25:05got to settle down
00:25:06they're going to
00:25:07have to throw the
00:25:08ball the premium is
00:25:09going to be on
00:25:10protection you got
00:25:11the challenge of
00:25:12Charles Haley you
00:25:13got to allow for him
00:25:14every single play
00:25:15for the Colts to
00:25:16win they've got to
00:25:17hope the Cowboys
00:25:18get overconfident
00:25:19and kind of let
00:25:20down a little bit
00:25:21but unfortunately
00:25:22for the Colts
00:25:23Jimmy Johnson
00:25:24teams don't let
00:25:25down
00:25:26this is the
00:25:27worst spot the
00:25:28Colts have really
00:25:29killed the Colts
00:25:30so far in the
00:25:31Cowboys
00:25:32in this first
00:25:33quarter so the
00:25:34Colts at least have
00:25:35the running back to
00:25:36take the pressure off
00:25:37of Trudeau a gain
00:25:38of eight yards
00:25:39with Darren
00:25:40Woodson the strong
00:25:41safety on the
00:25:42stop well they've
00:25:43got the running
00:25:44back because as
00:25:45as he's referred to
00:25:46as the rolling
00:25:47ball of butcher
00:25:48knives is off to a
00:25:49great start right
00:25:50now because he's
00:25:51got knees and
00:25:52thighs and
00:25:53shoulders and
00:25:54everything else
00:25:55he's got a
00:25:56running back
00:25:57he's got knees and
00:25:58shoulders and
00:25:59everything else
00:26:00going but for the
00:26:01Colts to be effective
00:26:02against the Cowboys
00:26:03they've got to make
00:26:04them respect their
00:26:05passing game they've
00:26:06got to make the
00:26:07defense think they're
00:26:08going to throw the
00:26:09ball successfully
00:26:10they go to Potts on
00:26:11second and two he
00:26:12hesitated and he's
00:26:13going to be knocked
00:26:14back by a host of
00:26:15Cowboys and there
00:26:16you see the Tony
00:26:17Tolbert with the
00:26:18great support it was
00:26:19Thomas Everett who
00:26:20has already made an
00:26:21interception in the
00:26:22ballgame who drove
00:26:23Potts back after the
00:26:24slight hesitation
00:26:25well Dick you
00:26:26mentioned Potts
00:26:27thinks he's a
00:26:28halfback trapped in a
00:26:29fullback's body but at
00:26:30252 pounds you cannot
00:26:31run sideways against
00:26:32the Dallas defense you
00:26:33will get swarmed like
00:26:34he just was every time
00:26:35you've got to hit it
00:26:36quick make your
00:26:37decision and go
00:26:38Cowboys are thinking
00:26:39pass defensively
00:26:40Kenneth Gann has come
00:26:41in for Darren Smith
00:26:42at linebacker and
00:26:43that's what Drew
00:26:44goes going to try to
00:26:45do on third and three
00:26:46and the pass is caught
00:26:47and that'll be a
00:26:48Colts first down
00:26:49making the reception
00:26:50for Indianapolis
00:26:51Sean Dawkins the
00:26:52number one
00:26:53receiver in the
00:26:54state of Indiana
00:26:55Sean Dawkins the
00:26:56number one draft pick
00:26:57out of Cal and a
00:26:58gain of eight yards
00:27:00and Dawkins is in the
00:27:01mold of sort of the
00:27:02new breed the
00:27:03Harpers the Irvins
00:27:04the Rices the
00:27:05the big physical
00:27:06six three two
00:27:07hundred and five
00:27:08pound wide receivers
00:27:09had a great career
00:27:10in college just now
00:27:11starting to come
00:27:12around and Ted
00:27:13Marchabrode his
00:27:14offense and I think
00:27:15we're going to see a
00:27:16lot of him today
00:27:17especially on those
00:27:18shorter shorter
00:27:19patterns and he's
00:27:20also a receiver that
00:27:21does have a certain
00:27:22degree of threat as
00:27:23far as speed he has
00:27:24and that was for a
00:27:25twenty five yard
00:27:26touchdown reception
00:27:27so we'll be seeing a
00:27:28lot of Sean Dawkins
00:27:29and that is the end
00:27:30of the first quarter
00:27:31here at the Hoosier
00:27:32Dome with the score
00:27:33the Cowboys fourteen
00:27:34and the Colts
00:27:35nothing
00:27:39and the reason is
00:27:40the Cowboys lead
00:27:41fourteen to nothing
00:27:42they're staring
00:27:43defeat in the face
00:27:44and that's staring
00:27:45the horse in the face
00:27:47Colts with a
00:27:48first down
00:27:50on the twenty
00:27:51seven yard line
00:27:52to go is completed
00:27:53three of four
00:27:54for twenty six yards
00:27:55he's also thrown
00:27:56one away with the
00:27:57hands of Thomas
00:27:58Everett
00:28:00three wide receivers
00:28:01Potts gets a good
00:28:02hole off the right
00:28:03side
00:28:04maybe caught from
00:28:05behind
00:28:07but another
00:28:08sizzling run
00:28:09and a penalty
00:28:10marker two of them
00:28:11are down
00:28:12at the thirty
00:28:13seven yard line
00:28:14after a thirty
00:28:15four yard run
00:28:17Darren Smith
00:28:20made the tackle
00:28:21and Thomas Everett
00:28:22also in on the
00:28:23play
00:28:24yeah when you're
00:28:25trying to tackle
00:28:26a two hundred and
00:28:27fifty two pound
00:28:28fullback you grab
00:28:29anything that's
00:28:30available
00:28:31one of the things
00:28:32available was a
00:28:33face mask
00:28:34face mask
00:28:35five yard penalty
00:28:36number twenty seven
00:28:37tacked on from the
00:28:38end of the run
00:28:39first down
00:28:40you don't go
00:28:41laterally you attack
00:28:42and when you make
00:28:43your decision
00:28:44you make it quick
00:28:45and that's what
00:28:46Potts does
00:28:47and right here at
00:28:48the end here comes
00:28:49face mask
00:28:50that's a little
00:28:52well Everett so far
00:28:53has an interception
00:28:54and a face
00:28:56a five yard penalty
00:28:58not an overt act
00:28:59the officials felt
00:29:00by Everett
00:29:01and it'll be a first
00:29:02down on the cowboy
00:29:03thirty four the
00:29:04deepest penetration
00:29:05obviously
00:29:06so far by the Colts
00:29:10and they go to
00:29:11Potts
00:29:12he picks up a
00:29:13couple
00:29:14Darren Smith on the
00:29:15tackle and now for
00:29:16an NFL update on
00:29:17the Philadelphia
00:29:18Chicago game
00:29:19let's check in with
00:29:20Jim
00:29:21alright Dick there's
00:29:22some long faces in
00:29:23Philadelphia too
00:29:24Bubby Brister has
00:29:25turned it over twice
00:29:26Harbaugh for the
00:29:27Bears the number one
00:29:28pick Curtis Conway
00:29:29his first NFL
00:29:30touchdown Bears lead
00:29:31ten nothing starting
00:29:32the second back to
00:29:33Dick and Randy
00:29:34a shock in some
00:29:35circles
00:29:36Randy
00:29:37well the shock really
00:29:38is mainly in Chicago
00:29:39I'm sure a lot of
00:29:40Bear fans don't
00:29:41expect that kind of
00:29:42performance out of
00:29:43Harbaugh the way
00:29:44he's done so far
00:29:45this year
00:29:46second down and
00:29:47eight
00:29:48Trudeau on the
00:29:49plate
00:29:50and Darren Smith
00:29:51trying to hang on
00:29:52for dear life
00:29:53he might have picked
00:29:54up a yard on the
00:29:55play so far
00:29:56Potts has carried
00:29:57eleven times for
00:29:58about 71 yards
00:29:59I think that's
00:30:00exactly what it is
00:30:01so a great first half
00:30:02for the rookie
00:30:03Roosevelt Potts
00:30:04well the problem
00:30:05for the Colts has
00:30:06not been their
00:30:07execution on first
00:30:08down so far
00:30:09offensively
00:30:10obviously defensively
00:30:11they had a problem
00:30:12with the Cowboys
00:30:13offense but
00:30:14offensively they're
00:30:15gaining the yards
00:30:16they need on first
00:30:17down the problem's
00:30:18their second and
00:30:19third and their
00:30:20execution with their
00:30:21quarterback taking
00:30:22the sure thing
00:30:23Potts goes out and
00:30:24Anthony Johnson
00:30:25who's their leading
00:30:26rusher and receiver
00:30:27coming into the game
00:30:28going out as a
00:30:29receiver here and the
00:30:30pass up the middle
00:30:31and wide open
00:30:32is Johnson
00:30:33Darren Woodson
00:30:34makes the tackle
00:30:35and Anthony Johnson
00:30:36who was born in
00:30:37Indianapolis and
00:30:38was a second round
00:30:39draft pick from
00:30:40Notre Dame
00:30:41four years ago with
00:30:42a gain of ten yards
00:30:43and the Colts are
00:30:44moving the ball
00:30:45and that's the kind
00:30:46of play you
00:30:47saw it set up on
00:30:48the interception
00:30:49where Johnson was
00:30:50free
00:30:51as you see Johnson
00:30:5223 circles out of
00:30:53the backfield
00:30:54you don't force it
00:30:55you take the sure
00:30:56thing and you let
00:30:57the guy with the
00:30:58ball make something
00:30:59happen once he
00:31:00catches it
00:31:01first down on the
00:31:0221 yard line
00:31:03Anthony Johnson
00:31:04a play fake
00:31:05and Trudeau's
00:31:06pass is
00:31:07intercepted again
00:31:08and the third
00:31:09turnover of the
00:31:10first half
00:31:11and that was
00:31:12Kevin Smith
00:31:13Kevin Smith who
00:31:14has intercepted
00:31:15three passes now
00:31:16for the Cowboys
00:31:17this year
00:31:18and the Colts
00:31:19are self-destructing
00:31:20with three
00:31:21turnovers
00:31:22in this first
00:31:23half
00:31:24and we may
00:31:25see another QB
00:31:26before this one's
00:31:27history
00:31:28it's been sharp
00:31:29the Cowboys
00:31:30have capitalized
00:31:31on turnovers
00:31:32and the three
00:31:33Dallas takeaways
00:31:34equals their
00:31:35whole season
00:31:36total so far
00:31:37and the Cowboys
00:31:38have a
00:31:39three point lead
00:31:40in the first
00:31:41half
00:31:42so far
00:31:43and on that
00:31:44last play
00:31:45you know when
00:31:46you think about
00:31:47defense
00:31:48you want to
00:31:49clear out with
00:31:50the outside
00:31:51receiver
00:31:52Dawkins
00:31:53you want to
00:31:54bring Langhorn
00:31:55underneath
00:31:56one of the
00:31:57things you've
00:31:58got to live
00:31:59with if you
00:32:00play a rookie
00:32:01are rookie
00:32:02mistakes
00:32:03Dawkins
00:32:04stopped in the
00:32:05middle of his
00:32:06route and that's
00:32:07why the
00:32:08interception was
00:32:09made
00:32:10so it's a
00:32:11three point lead
00:32:12and the Cowboys
00:32:13have gotten
00:32:14a few more
00:32:15out to the
00:32:1632 yard line
00:32:17and a gain of
00:32:1819 yards
00:32:19for Michael Urban
00:32:20two of the
00:32:21turnovers by the
00:32:22way
00:32:23committed by the
00:32:24Colts have gotten
00:32:25inside the Dallas
00:32:2630 yard line
00:32:27so it's not like
00:32:28they haven't had
00:32:29opportunities to
00:32:30catch in against
00:32:31the Cowboys
00:32:32coming into that
00:32:33play Dallas
00:32:34was averaging
00:32:35four and a
00:32:36half yards on
00:32:37first down
00:32:38now they knock
00:32:39another 19 on
00:32:40first down on
00:32:41the 32 yard line
00:32:42and the pitch is
00:32:43to Emmitt
00:32:44Smith
00:32:45great ad
00:32:46living by
00:32:47Emmitt
00:32:48Smith as he

00:32:55down
00:32:561135
00:32:57remaining in
00:32:58the first half

00:36:30Pittsburgh
00:36:31a smack into Derek Gaynor who
00:36:33came in as a blocking back for
00:36:37Troy Aikman.
00:36:39Let's see if it was closer than
00:36:40we figured up here in the booth
00:36:42as far as the completion is
00:36:43concerned.
00:36:44Well it's being bobbled from the
00:36:45very beginning.
00:36:46Watch right here the ball gets
00:36:48in it's out out out out.
00:36:52Never had you know the whistles
00:36:53blowing here a little bit of
00:36:56continuation on the part of Mr.
00:36:58Sturgill bringing things down.
00:37:00But I mean there's no excuse for
00:37:03the players a not stopping and B
00:37:06the officials not taking a more
00:37:07assertive role in making sure
00:37:09the play does stop.
00:37:10Sturgill had to stay with him
00:37:12because Harper could have
00:37:14eventually gotten control of the
00:37:16ball Harper or Sturgill played
00:37:18that perfectly.
00:37:20So here's Ted Marchabroda
00:37:21already with a furrowed brow
00:37:23after losing his top tackle
00:37:24Steve Antman and another cold
00:37:26injury on top of that second
00:37:29really tough injury for the
00:37:31Colts in this game taking all
00:37:32the necessary precautions with
00:37:33the stretcher out there and any
00:37:39injury of any kind affects
00:37:41players and especially when a
00:37:42player is down for a significant
00:37:43length of time.
00:37:45Let's take one more look and and
00:37:46see what it was that happened as
00:37:49he was going for control of the
00:37:50ball good as his head down and
00:37:53as the collision happens right
00:37:55there taking that hit on the on
00:37:57the crown of the helmet.
00:37:58That's much as the league has
00:38:00has fined Chuck Cecil for using
00:38:03the crown of the helmet whether
00:38:04you agree or not.
00:38:05That is specifically the kind of
00:38:06contact that that Derek Gaynor
00:38:08made you know with goods top of
00:38:11his head that the league is
00:38:12trying to at all costs prevent.
00:38:15Well if you wanted to have any
00:38:17occurrences that would silence a
00:38:19crowd of sixty one thousand a
00:38:20sellout here would be two rapid
00:38:23injuries to players Steve
00:38:26Goldman who was was taken off on
00:38:28a cart and now Chris good who
00:38:33suffered the ankle injury last
00:38:34week and still working on him he
00:38:37has not been put on the
00:38:38stretcher as of late good from
00:38:41Alabama in his seventh season
00:38:43was a 10th round draft pick and
00:38:55the crowd is in utter silence
00:38:57here.
00:39:02Leslie Visser is our reporter on
00:39:05site and we're going to try to
00:39:07get you an update on both of the
00:39:10cold injuries you're just
00:39:24going to have to wait and see.
00:39:25We're going to have to wait and
00:39:26see.
00:39:27And then the Cowboys lead the
00:39:28Colts 14 to nothing.
00:39:30We have 10 39 remaining in the
00:39:33second quarter as Cowboys took
00:39:35advantage of two Indianapolis
00:39:37turnovers to get scores in the
00:39:39first quarter and then the Colts
00:39:41turned it over again.
00:39:46And when we do return to action
00:39:47it'll be fourth down the Cowboys
00:39:49will be fourth down so Chris
00:39:53Gould is Tony Syracuse and we
00:40:01echo his sentiments so two
00:40:09members of the Colt defensive
00:40:10unit have been wheeled off here
00:40:13in the second quarter it'll be
00:40:14fourth down and John Jett will
00:40:18be back deep for the Colts
00:40:19Clarence Burdain will be back
00:40:22deep for the Colts there is
00:40:26Burdain former Washington
00:40:28Redskin for that in the USFL
00:40:35booming kick by Jett sends
00:40:37Burdain back pedaling inside his
00:40:39five and Bill Bates knocked him
00:40:47out of very little as he
00:40:48returned at 17 yards petty play
00:40:54by Burdain.
00:40:55Well coming up after our game
00:40:58the American League Championship
00:40:59Series Game 5 in Toronto the
00:41:01White Sox and the Blue Jays and
00:41:02the starting pitchers from Game
00:41:041 will be matched up again Jack
00:41:06McDowell against Juan Guzman and
00:41:08tonight the National League
00:41:09Series resumes at Atlanta's
00:41:11Fulton County Stadium as the
00:41:12Phillies take on the Braves.
00:41:13That game begins at 8 o'clock.
00:41:15It'll be Danny Jackson the left
00:41:17hander and John Smoltz for the
00:41:18Braves Tony Casillas who was out
00:41:21for a player to now back in his
00:41:23left tackle defensively for the
00:41:24Cowboys first time 10 after 16
00:41:27for Jack.
00:41:30He's got a lot of time and he's
00:41:32going to go deep for talking
00:41:33downfield and he's got it and a
00:41:36penalty marker down Sean Dawkins
00:41:38still on his feet and is chased
00:41:41out of bounds by James
00:41:43Washington in the big play of
00:41:44the game for either team.
00:41:46Sixty nine yards a lot of
00:41:48contact a lot of pushing
00:41:49downfield as that ball was in
00:41:51the air.
00:41:53Larry Brown was downfield with
00:41:55Dawkins but there was shoving
00:41:57and the flag thrown and it's
00:42:00going to be against the Cowboys
00:42:01apparently they're motioning
00:42:05bring the balls to about the
00:42:07center parents number 20 for
00:42:10defense early as the time passes
00:42:13complete first time that takes a
00:42:16little bit of the sting off
00:42:18Dawkins earlier a mistake.
00:42:19But the thing to watch here
00:42:21watch the contact down the
00:42:22field.
00:42:24Remember both players have a
00:42:25right to the ball but with the
00:42:28offensive players right is not
00:42:30to be pumped bumped in and pushed
00:42:32and distracted too much
00:42:33physically as that ball is in
00:42:35the air.
00:42:37Remember Sean Dawkins has
00:42:38caught a 25 yard touchdown pass
00:42:40for his only reception of the
00:42:42year coming into this game.
00:42:43And actually if that ball had
00:42:44less air under it who's thrown
00:42:46further Dawkins was at least two
00:42:48or three yards behind Brown
00:42:49would have been a touchdown.
00:42:51So a first down on the 16 yard
00:42:53line play play play for two
00:42:54dollars with one man on his
00:42:57shoe he throws the pass away
00:42:59because he has had a hold on him
00:43:01and Roosevelt Potts was the
00:43:03receiver and wisely Trudeau
00:43:05threw the ball away before going
00:43:06down himself.
00:43:09That's one thing Trudeau cannot
00:43:10afford to do I think against
00:43:11this Dallas rush with guys like
00:43:13Casillas and and Haley and
00:43:15company coming after him is hold
00:43:16on to the ball too long.
00:43:17He'll he'll get that result
00:43:19almost every time of one of
00:43:20these defenders will be crawling
00:43:22and scratching and clawing at
00:43:23his legs.
00:43:25The Colts have turned the ball
00:43:26over in every possession they've
00:43:28had coming into this one three
00:43:29turnovers in the game.
00:43:31Two of them have been inside the
00:43:3210 yard line.
00:43:33And the Colts have been inside
00:43:34the 10 yard line since July 30.
00:43:37So here's second and 10 on the
00:43:3816 again Trudeau on a draw play
00:43:41to getting inside the 10 yard
00:43:44line and James Washington rides
00:43:46him down after a pickup of seven
00:43:48yards.
00:43:50Well at least the Colts are in
00:43:51field goal range but they're
00:43:52looking for more on this drive.
00:43:54This is a running bat that can
00:43:55make defensive backs look like
00:43:57hitchhikers getting a ride.
00:44:00Watch the defenders swarm.
00:44:01They're all in line blue and
00:44:03all four going forward.
00:44:04This is one powerful back and
00:44:07James Washington and Thomas
00:44:08Everett and company back there.
00:44:10If you hit this guy you better
00:44:11square up and and pray for help.
00:44:14He gained one hundred and forty
00:44:15one coming into this game
00:44:16already has 78 in this game
00:44:19alone.
00:44:19Third down and three out of the
00:44:21shotgun is Trudeau and the pass
00:44:23up the middle is caught at the
00:44:24five yard line and that was the
00:44:26running back Anthony Johnson
00:44:29James Washington on the hit a
00:44:31five it'll be fourth down and
00:44:33two and the crowd urging the
00:44:35Colts to go for the touchdown
00:44:37and that's what Mark Chabot is
00:44:38going to do here at least to
00:44:40this point or they have a first
00:44:43down it is a first down first
00:44:46and goal on the three.
00:44:48So no big decision here.
00:44:50Now here's where the execution
00:44:51comes into play for Trudeau.
00:44:53They've been very composed.
00:44:54They've been very cool.
00:44:55If you throw the ball in this
00:44:57situation don't throw it in a
00:44:59crowd in the middle.
00:45:00You've got to use that big
00:45:01fullback Charles Arbuckle the
00:45:03second time in the inside is to
00:45:08Rodney Culver for a couple it'll
00:45:13be second and goal as we wind
00:45:14down to eight minutes remaining
00:45:16in the first half.
00:45:19You've got to wonder at times
00:45:20when you've got a fullback
00:45:22running that good why you don't
00:45:23put him at halfback and let him
00:45:25blast it in there for those
00:45:26tough yards.
00:45:26I mean use the two hundred and
00:45:28ninety two yard line to get a
00:45:29guy to try to take those
00:45:31defensive linemen on pots has
00:45:33been going up the middle getting
00:45:34three yards just by getting a
00:45:36handoff at the line and now they
00:45:37went a different way.
00:45:38POTS is back in there.
00:45:40It'll be second and goal bolts
00:45:44with 11 possessions have scored
00:45:46nine times but only two of them
00:45:48have been touchdowns and with
00:45:50the clock running down Trudeau
00:45:51calls time out.
00:45:52So that'll be the first time out
00:45:55called by the Colts here in the
00:45:57first half.
00:45:57And that's a wise one when
00:45:58you're down 14 up.
00:46:00Oh yeah.
00:46:00That's decision time when you
00:46:01get down there.
00:46:02It's the quarterback's call and
00:46:03it's a smart call by by Trudeau
00:46:05when you lose your clock like
00:46:06that that things are getting
00:46:08down and it's where you've seen
00:46:09the most effect of the 42nd
00:46:10clock has been down in the red
00:46:12zone where the decisions become
00:46:14more critical the audible
00:46:16audibles become more critical
00:46:17and when you have a smart
00:46:18quarterback he's willing to make
00:46:20the decision to take the time
00:46:22out not to hurt you the way the
00:46:23Colts have been running the ball
00:46:25Ted March abroad and all the
00:46:27fans have got to be thinking
00:46:28hey if they respect our run and
00:46:30they respect Roosevelt Potts not
00:46:32a bad time for a play action if
00:46:34you fake one up soft and get the
00:46:35big guy leaping over the over
00:46:37the top and hit a hit a tight
00:46:38end or a receiver on a quick
00:46:40little fade Giants the Bears and
00:46:44the Vikings all winning by
00:46:45shutouts right now five nothing
00:46:48that score looked like baseball
00:46:49finally came to Tampa Bay and
00:46:50the twins are up five nothing
00:46:52one of these days it will be I
00:46:54think well the Colts started on
00:46:58their 16 yard line and the big
00:47:00play the 68 yard pass to Sean
00:47:02Dawkins so you you mentioned
00:47:07they're looking for pots or
00:47:09Culver in the run that may be a
00:47:10good time to throw the ball in
00:47:11any event the Indianapolis Colts
00:47:13have had the ball in the game
00:47:17three times in cowboy territory
00:47:19and it's still not the end of
00:47:20the goal line second and goal
00:47:22and the Indians are up four to
00:47:23three and I think pot started a
00:47:32little early there's the past
00:47:33four for the touchdown and maybe
00:47:35call back to carry cash that's
00:47:37an easy one deck that was
00:47:39procedure that was movement that
00:47:40was offsides that was dumb last
00:47:45one will be repeated in the film
00:47:47room this week that last
00:47:48one will be repeated in the film
00:47:49room this week that last one
00:47:50will be repeated in the film
00:47:51room this is where the teams
00:47:55that don't win commit the
00:47:56penalties illegal motion set
00:48:00back and the offense moving
00:48:02forward before the snap also a
00:48:04second man was moving they did
00:48:06not reset a lot of penalty
00:48:08repeated down they did a lot of
00:48:09things there I haven't seen a
00:48:11setback leave it was Duffy
00:48:13Waldorf had the last there he is
00:48:17and he's got a lot of
00:48:18penalties not only can you not
00:48:20move you cannot go towards the
00:48:21line of scrimmage as the ball is
00:48:22snapped be an interesting rule
00:48:25change though because he talked
00:48:27about second and eight and there
00:48:30is a big difference between
00:48:32second and three and eight the
00:48:32size of five yards when you're
00:48:34that close and it's incomplete
00:48:42Dawkins was defended by Kevin
00:48:45Davis and he's got a lot of
00:48:46penalties penalty marker is down
00:48:57that's the play when you have a
00:48:58six foot four wide receiver
00:49:00working against five nine five
00:49:01ten defensive backs they haven't
00:49:05used too much coming into this
00:49:07game but Sean Dawkins certainly
00:49:08has made an impact on the cold
00:49:10offense and they were surprised
00:49:11that he lasted to 16th in that
00:49:14game the pass is incomplete and
00:49:16there is no infraction on the
00:49:18play let's take a look at this
00:49:23play good floating pass by
00:49:25Trudeau thrown right at the back
00:49:27pile on look at that nice throw
00:49:29one hand he actually has
00:49:32possession but does not have
00:49:34possession inbounds and that
00:49:36flag came from the back judge
00:49:38Kevin Smith made a perfect play
00:49:41on the Dawkins there's not
00:49:43anything wrong with that.
00:49:44He's got a little bit of
00:49:44hypothesis right out of football
00:49:46field so it'll be third and go
00:49:48all the ball at the yard line
00:49:49they have three wide receivers
00:49:50Dawkins lines up to the right
00:49:53here is Trudeau getting some
00:49:54pressure he's got pots open but
00:49:56he drills it and the pass is not
00:49:57down it was intended for Jesse
00:50:00Hester and Larry Brown knocked
00:50:02the ball down and there was
00:50:03another penalty marker over there
00:50:06where the ends of where they
00:50:07kid in this time deck or you
00:50:08think they meant it and that'll
00:50:12be the third and a first down
00:50:16against the Cowboys that is
00:50:18defensive holding against Dallas
00:50:24and how happy is that guy about
00:50:25that.
00:50:26Jimmy Johnson knows little
00:50:28mistakes can add up there at 14
00:50:30nothing but 14 7 here at this
00:50:32point he was a young team
00:50:35number 26 defense but half the
00:50:38distance automatic first down
00:50:40that was Kevin Smith who made
00:50:41a mistake in the first half
00:50:43against the Cowboys and the
00:50:44defense on Dawkins now guilty
00:50:46for the whole that moves
00:50:48Indianapolis back into the
00:50:50territory where they can start
00:50:51thinking about banging a run and
00:50:53taking advantage of the play
00:50:54action possibilities they scored
00:50:56on a play to carry cash where
00:50:58they fake the run up front but
00:50:59Potts was moving so instead of
00:51:02having second and third and goal
00:51:03at the three now they have a
00:51:05first and goal at the four yard
00:51:07line our buckle the second tight
00:51:09rope or and Robert Jones in
00:51:11begin to cover and he'll lose it
00:51:14back to the 10 yard line.
00:51:17Keep in mind that the Colts have
00:51:18turned the ball over three times
00:51:20twice inside the Dallas 30.
00:51:22This was a loss of six yards
00:51:24with Russell Maryland in on the
00:51:26play and he's slowly getting up
00:51:30you don't I repeat you do not
00:51:32try to go laterally against the
00:51:34Dallas Cowboys speed defense go
00:51:38straight ahead.
00:51:39I don't care how fast Culver
00:51:41might be or thinks he is.
00:51:42You don't get laterally on this
00:51:44team.
00:51:47Jimmy Jones and not Maryland
00:51:49slow getting up the Colts have
00:51:51scored only one touchdown in the
00:51:52first half this season and it's
00:51:56a struggle right here.
00:51:57It'll be second and go back to
00:51:58the 10.
00:51:59Put them back in the same
00:52:00situation.
00:52:00We're in the shotgun.
00:52:02They've got to throw.
00:52:03It's a nickel deed for the
00:52:04Cowboys out of the shotgun.
00:52:08The first time they come on
00:52:09Trudeau his pass up the middle
00:52:10overgrown.
00:52:12It was intended for the tight
00:52:13end Kerry cash and that'll be
00:52:16third and goal at the 10 it was
00:52:20a seven foot pass to a six foot
00:52:22four wide receiver who didn't
00:52:24jump.
00:52:25Unfortunately it was a tight end
00:52:25and didn't have quite the air
00:52:27time or the balance at that
00:52:29point to catch it.
00:52:29He had the receiver open see the
00:52:38nearest defender here to cash is
00:52:40trailing cash but there's no way
00:52:43with the ball that high.
00:52:44They can love that ball in there.
00:52:46Jeff Cote is in up front
00:52:48Washington and Bates in the
00:52:49secondary Trudeau just grab and
00:52:51close the ball away.
00:52:52He was chased up front by Russell
00:52:54Maryland and Jimmy Jones and the
00:52:59Colts fans are booing their
00:53:01offense.
00:53:03It is fourth down and I think
00:53:06booing rightfully so.
00:53:07It's a 50 50 mix.
00:53:08You got booing and you have
00:53:09cheering for the Cowboys fans
00:53:11here on hand but that was a very
00:53:14inadequate poor to terrible
00:53:16sequence of offensive plays by
00:53:18the Colts and what would have
00:53:19been a great opportunity to
00:53:20score a touchdown.
00:53:22The Asuchi who is connected on
00:53:24six field goals in a row will
00:53:25try this from 28 yards.
00:53:27Ron Stark will be holding and
00:53:33the Asuchi makes it seven in a
00:53:34row but it's a bittersweet end
00:53:37of the drive for the Colts who
00:53:39should have had seven.
00:53:41So it's Cowboys 14 Cole three
00:53:43six thirty three on the clock
00:53:47chances he will kick off and
00:53:50back deep for the Cowboys will
00:53:53be Kevin Williams and Kenneth
00:53:56Gantt Williams is on the right
00:54:01and on the left both must be
00:54:05wondering if a warrant for the
00:54:06Cowboys and the stall drives
00:54:10maybe a lot closer.
00:54:11The Asuchi hand over and kick
00:54:15and it'll be Williams at the
00:54:16goal line and he is tackled from
00:54:22behind by Tony Stargill.
00:54:25Well next week on CBS a
00:54:27doubleheader weekend begins with
00:54:28the NFL today at 1230.
00:54:30The Eagles will face the Giants
00:54:32in an NFC East battle.
00:54:33New Orleans will travel to
00:54:34Pittsburgh in an
00:54:35interconference game and the
00:54:37late game it'll be the 49ers and
00:54:39the Cowboys and last time these
00:54:40teams met were for the NFC
00:54:42championship at Candlestick Park
00:54:44last January.
00:54:45Victoria Aikman in this Dallas
00:54:46team has an interesting
00:54:47perspective.
00:54:47Now I think going into that
00:54:49championship game last year at
00:54:50the 49ers there was a certain
00:54:52amount of doubt.
00:54:53Now that they've beaten the 49ers
00:54:54there is no fear and there's no
00:54:56doubt that they can take on a
00:54:57team from San Francisco.
00:54:59First down dumped up the middle
00:55:03of the plate by Novacek.
00:55:04Good touch pass by Aikman and
00:55:06Novacek brings it out to the 35
00:55:08a gain of 14 and a first down
00:55:11Ashley Ambrose replacing Chris
00:55:13good at cornerback good of
00:55:15course was carried off the
00:55:16field.
00:55:17Ambrose played for good last
00:55:18week in Denver.
00:55:21Look at the Giants and the Red
00:55:22Skins.
00:55:23I don't know how many legs
00:55:25Griffin went in there playing on
00:55:26about a leg and a half but to be
00:55:28their fourth straight loss
00:55:29Washington tough city for Ritchie
00:55:31Pettibone to get off that kind
00:55:32of a start.
00:55:33Pitches to Emmitt Smith trying
00:55:35to reverse his way and his stop
00:55:36for a loss went in courtyard.
00:55:39We talked about it in the number
00:55:40one pick courtyard was taken on
00:55:42the first round as well out of
00:55:44Texas A&M and only 11 career
00:55:46game.
00:55:47So a lot of people on the
00:55:48Colts feel he's still a rookie.
00:55:50We talk about his only 11th 12th
00:55:52game as an NFL player is he's a
00:55:54guy though much like great
00:55:56linebackers like a single Terry
00:55:58or somebody like that.
00:55:58Not only does he have a good
00:56:00motor he's got a great battery a
00:56:02good everything.
00:56:03This guy is twitching moving
00:56:04jumping before the ball is even
00:56:06snapped.
00:56:06Great football instincts.
00:56:08He just has to get used to
00:56:09playing at this level.
00:56:11Second down and 10 price the
00:56:13second tight end goes in motion.
00:56:16Aikman's pass is caught by
00:56:18Michael Irvin and he is down at
00:56:20midfield actually in the cold
00:56:22territory a pickup of 16 in a
00:56:24first down.
00:56:26It was John Baylor making the
00:56:27stop on Irvin.
00:56:28He's been involved on several
00:56:29big pass receptions.
00:56:31Another good example of the
00:56:32variations of the Dallas
00:56:33offense.
00:56:34First play Emmitt Smith is
00:56:35stopped.
00:56:36What do you do.
00:56:38You say OK fine.
00:56:39You come back the next play and
00:56:41you go to Novacek then you go to
00:56:43Irvin.
00:56:44These are the kind of weapons
00:56:45that kind of plays that Dallas
00:56:47can make to frustrate a
00:56:48defensive plan.
00:56:49Well straight games at Irvin has
00:56:51caught five passes or more and a
00:56:53first down eight man fires up
00:56:55the middle and he couldn't hold
00:56:59on to it.
00:56:59It might have been the first
00:57:00hit by Ambrose Irvin stayed with
00:57:02it but he juggled it and
00:57:03couldn't hold on.
00:57:04That was a beautiful pass thrown
00:57:06by Troy Aikman.
00:57:08We saw Jack Trudeau throw a ball
00:57:10to carry cash it was slightly
00:57:12overthrown into a tight
00:57:13defensive situation.
00:57:14Here is a perfect pass floated
00:57:17in into a tight situation.
00:57:19Look at that.
00:57:20Right where Irvin had a chance
00:57:21to get the hands on it and catch
00:57:23it.
00:57:23Heck he had two or three chances
00:57:25to catch it.
00:57:26Ambrose did a good job by
00:57:27getting that hand up at least.
00:57:29That's the difference that Troy
00:57:30Aikman can make a great
00:57:31quarterback to make great
00:57:33defense look just not good
00:57:34enough.
00:57:36Second down and 10 on the cold
00:57:38forty nine.
00:57:39Here is Emmitt Smith getting
00:57:40ground.
00:57:43Smith has not been able to get
00:57:45on track against the cold
00:57:46defense.
00:57:48A loss of two yards.
00:57:49Tony Syracusa made the tackle
00:57:54and the main difference being
00:57:55Dick is Colter getting good
00:57:57penetration and they're
00:57:58maintaining their lanes
00:57:59backside where Emmitt Smith had
00:58:01the big run for the touchdown on
00:58:03a pitch back where he cut the
00:58:05ball all the way back.
00:58:06There is nowhere for Emmitt
00:58:07Smith to go backside front side
00:58:09the middle.
00:58:10He's being thwarted.
00:58:12Emmitt Smith has gained 40 yards
00:58:14so far on 12 carries third down
00:58:17and one third and twelve for the
00:58:18Cowboys back in their own
00:58:20territory.
00:58:23Aikman has time and the sideline
00:58:26has been battered.
00:58:28Alvin Harper might have been a
00:58:33connection mix up with Aikman
00:58:35the crowd cheering again as the
00:58:37cold defense holds the Cowboys
00:58:39when they got to midfield.
00:58:46So John Jett will be in the
00:58:47kick.
00:58:49This will be his third punt and
00:58:51back as Clarence Verdane.
00:58:53And this is where a punter can
00:58:54do an awful lot for the defense.
00:58:56You want to be in a situation
00:58:57where you want to get a ball out
00:58:59into the corners or make the
00:59:00ball bite and die inside the 10
00:59:02yard lines to put Jack Trudeau
00:59:03in the offense back another
00:59:10booming high kick in a fair
00:59:12catch ball for by Verdane at the
00:59:1510 yard line 51 yard punt second
00:59:20longest of the day by John Jett.
00:59:22So the Colts now will start from
00:59:24329 remaining in the half and
00:59:26they have only two timeouts
00:59:27remaining.
00:59:29Plenty of time for Jack Trudeau
00:59:30to get something out of this
00:59:32drive here for the Colts.
00:59:34The key is going to be how will
00:59:36he react to the Dallas defense.
00:59:37Will he take what the Dallas
00:59:39defense will give him.
00:59:40Dallas will give him yards at
00:59:41the passing game.
00:59:42See March a brother discussing
00:59:44things with Mikowski who's
00:59:45today's second team quarterback
00:59:47and Jeff George who is the third
00:59:49emergency quarterback discussing
00:59:50what is Jack going to do.
00:59:52Where are his opportunities
00:59:53to come first down at the 10
00:59:55yard line three wide receivers
00:59:57play fake for Trudeau inside his
00:59:59five and his pass is incomplete.
01:00:03He had a wide open Reggie
01:00:04Langhorne and that'll bring up
01:00:06second down.
01:00:07By the way we are waiting for
01:00:09the Colts organization to clear
01:00:11the way so we can get
01:00:12information on the two injuries
01:00:14suffered by their defensive
01:00:15player Steve and the tackle and
01:00:17Chris Good who were both wheeled
01:00:18off the field.
01:00:19And as soon as we find out we'll
01:00:21relay it to you.
01:00:22We've got Leslie Besser is on
01:00:23hand and she is checking it out
01:00:28second down and 10.
01:00:29You would not know by looking at
01:00:31the total yardage that the
01:00:32Cowboys are up 14 to three.
01:00:48The second round draft pick this
01:00:50year.
01:00:51And here's a look at the
01:00:52draft pick.
01:00:53Here's a look at the draft pick
01:00:54and here's a look at the draft
01:00:55pick.
01:00:55Gant finally brings him down
01:00:57after a 19 yard game.
01:00:59Nothing real complicated about
01:01:01this.
01:01:02You put your big guys on their
01:01:04big guys and you get that big
01:01:06Rosie just roll it and give a
01:01:08few e-ticket rises some
01:01:10defensive backs.
01:01:11You had Smith you had Gant they
01:01:13all got a ride underneath and
01:01:19out of bounds to stop the clock
01:01:21running.
01:01:21And here's an example deck of
01:01:23taking what the defense is going
01:01:24to give you this far out with
01:01:26this much field to defend before
01:01:28you to the end zone.
01:01:29The defense will give you those
01:01:30sorts of passes.
01:01:31They have to be patient.
01:01:32The cold offense is patient
01:01:34takes those 10 yard gains takes
01:01:36the eight yard gains hope they
01:01:37break a tackle but don't throw
01:01:39the ball inside in the middle of
01:01:40the field where interceptions
01:01:42are waiting to happen.
01:01:44Clock running to 33 second down
01:01:47and he's got the first down.
01:01:49You know it's amazing we go back
01:01:50to when the Colts had the ball
01:01:51inside and they gave it to
01:01:52Culver.
01:01:53I would have pounded in the pots
01:01:54all the way and they would have
01:01:55scored the touchdown even from
01:01:56as far out as 10 yard three four
01:01:58five yards doesn't seem to be a
01:02:00big deal.
01:02:00He's got a big physical
01:02:01offensive line with a very
01:02:03crafty skilled center and Kirk
01:02:05Loudermilk in the middle who's
01:02:06making things happen and
01:02:08Roosevelt pots is starting to
01:02:10remind one of a Roosevelt leaks
01:02:12right.
01:02:13Tell me about that.
01:02:14Yeah.
01:02:14I mean I think it's a big deal
01:02:15Roosevelt leaks Texas the way
01:02:18he's running first 100 yard game
01:02:20in his career.
01:02:21It's the two minute warning in
01:02:22Indy with one hundred and two
01:02:25yards is the first Baltimore
01:02:27first Colton I should say
01:02:30Indianapolis Cole to rush for a
01:02:31hundred yards in a game since
01:02:32Eric Dickerson against the
01:02:34Browns in 1991 in December where
01:02:37you made the point that if the
01:02:39Colts had made all those
01:02:40turnovers they wouldn't be down
01:02:4114 to 3 and if they hadn't moved
01:02:42they'd still be involved.
01:02:43I was going to say you know they
01:02:44would have been you know the
01:02:45interesting thing with Jesse
01:02:46Hester caught a pass now 51
01:02:48consecutive games that he's
01:02:49caught a pass.
01:02:50When you think of all the great
01:02:51receivers they've had Barry or
01:02:53Willie Richardson and Jesse
01:02:55Hester has the longest streak in
01:02:57that franchise first and 10 on
01:02:59the 40 yard line.
01:03:01Colts have two timeouts remaining
01:03:04out of the shotgun is to go and
01:03:06his pass is caught by Hester and
01:03:08he goes out of bounds to stop
01:03:09the clock.
01:03:10Smith defending after a gain of
01:03:12one hundred and fifty five on
01:03:14the clock now and I really like
01:03:17the selection so far for the
01:03:18Colts.
01:03:19The question is can they stay
01:03:20patient and when they move the
01:03:22ball down the field can they
01:03:23stay patient and can they
01:03:25execute in the red zone when
01:03:26they get close to the Dallas
01:03:27goal line.
01:03:29Colts turned the ball over three
01:03:31times on their first three
01:03:33possessions of the game and then
01:03:34had to settle for a field goal
01:03:36when they were knocking on the
01:03:37door the fourth time second down
01:03:40second down and three on the 47
01:03:46yard line again out of the
01:03:47shotgun and an inside handoff
01:03:49to Johnson and he's going to be
01:03:50prone for the loss by Jim Jeff
01:03:52Cope loss of four yards on the
01:03:57play and the hurry up offense
01:04:01for the Colts.
01:04:02They still have those two
01:04:03timeouts.
01:04:04That was a great job by Jeff
01:04:05Cope.
01:04:06You always hear the term spy the
01:04:08one spy defensive lineman.
01:04:09He did a great job of spying by
01:04:11Jeff Cope and making that tack
01:04:12on that draw.
01:04:13That's his job.
01:04:14Third down and seven three wide
01:04:15receivers Trudeau goes
01:04:17underneath to Johnson and he's
01:04:18going to be knocked out of
01:04:19bounds before he gets to the
01:04:21first down marker a gain of
01:04:23five.
01:04:24And right now to give you an
01:04:24update on the injuries to the
01:04:26Colts let's go down to Leslie
01:04:27Visser.
01:04:27Leslie Dick an update on the two
01:04:30injuries as for Steve and then
01:04:32his is serious.
01:04:32He has torn the anterior
01:04:34cruciate ligament on his right
01:04:35knee.
01:04:36He also tore the medial lateral
01:04:38fatality tendon injury.
01:04:40As for Chris Good he has a neck
01:04:42sprain.
01:04:42That's all we know about him at
01:04:43the moment.
01:04:44I spoke with these parents Jim
01:04:46and Darla and they said he was
01:04:48in a lot of pain and he was very
01:04:49discouraged because he worked so
01:04:51hard to come back from the
01:04:52injury on his left leg.
01:04:53Dick thank you Leslie.
01:04:55Good work and I don't know how
01:04:56you got to mention all of those
01:04:58descriptions.
01:04:59Ron Stark punting for the first
01:05:00time and it's Williams who's
01:05:02going to let it drop Kevin
01:05:03Williams and the Colts will try
01:05:05to keep it in play.
01:05:06They can't.
01:05:08And a 51 yard kick when all is
01:05:10said and done by one of the best
01:05:11in the league Ron Stark and the
01:05:14Cowboys will begin from the 20
01:05:16yard line with one twelve
01:05:17remaining.
01:05:18Want to remind you coming up at
01:05:22halftime Jim Nance and Terry
01:05:24Bradshaw with scores and
01:05:25highlights a preview of the game
01:05:28that's following this one the
01:05:29White Sox and the Blue Jays in
01:05:30Game 5 of the American League
01:05:32Championship Series which is all
01:05:33even at two games apiece and the
01:05:35home field advantage hasn't
01:05:36exactly worked into that series
01:05:38so far.
01:05:38No.
01:05:40Will a home team finally win in
01:05:42this series.
01:05:43White Sox lost to the Blue Jays
01:05:45at Comiskey Park in Toronto has
01:05:46not been able to win in two
01:05:47games at Sky Dome.
01:05:50Well if you're Rich Venturi and
01:05:51the defense is off of the
01:05:52Indianapolis Colts right here
01:05:54you've got to be thinking
01:05:55tackling and contain.
01:05:57You can't let the Cowboys get a
01:05:58big play out of a short pass.
01:06:00Kevin Williams the third wide
01:06:01out and eight minutes underneath
01:06:03and he's going to run being
01:06:05chased and goes out of bounds.
01:06:07It was Jeff Harrod the last of
01:06:09the triumvirate of folks to
01:06:10chase him out of bounds after
01:06:12Troy picked up a yard.
01:06:14Harrod's an interesting story
01:06:15not only interesting he's
01:06:16amazing a guy dislocated his
01:06:18ankle in August they said eight
01:06:20ten twelve weeks before he comes
01:06:21back.
01:06:22What's he do comes back a month
01:06:23after he dislocates his ankle
01:06:25it's just it's incredible having
01:06:27had something like that as an
01:06:28injury.
01:06:28I just can't believe this guy is
01:06:29able to do this at the level he
01:06:31is doing it.
01:06:32He saw the speedy he showed
01:06:34the speed he showed the speed
01:06:36there in the chief tackler for
01:06:37the Colts the last four years
01:06:41second down and two on the
01:06:43Cowboy 28.
01:06:46Hickman dumps it off this time
01:06:47to gain out of the backfield
01:06:49he'll get the first down the
01:06:50clock continues to run Harrod on
01:06:52the tackle after another gain of
01:06:54eight and now we'll have a time
01:06:56out called by the Dallas
01:06:58Cowboys.
01:06:58That's their first time out of
01:07:01the game.
01:07:01Here's a look at Troy Aikman in
01:07:06his series of injuries.
01:07:08He does have separated cartilage
01:07:10in those ribs and wow he's not
01:07:13wearing that harness on the left
01:07:15shoulder he's got separated ribs
01:07:17that's got to hurt first down on
01:07:19the thirty one of Dallas for
01:07:22Steinmeier last time had to
01:07:24settle for a field goal here's
01:07:25a slam pass to Sean Dawkins and
01:07:28they wrap him up inside the 25
01:07:30second down gain of eight block
01:07:32continues to run a hurry up
01:07:35offense.
01:07:36Colts still have two timeouts
01:07:38remaining second down and two
01:07:42here's where the composure and
01:07:43patience comes into play.
01:07:52Thomas Everett his second of the
01:07:54game I think you've got to get
01:08:01off the hook.
01:08:02You've got to let another
01:08:03quarterback make some other
01:08:04decisions as Jack Trudeau is
01:08:05throwing this ball right into
01:08:07some coverages that ball has no
01:08:09business being thrown over the
01:08:11middle of the field and those
01:08:12kinds of zone coverages in these
01:08:14situations.
01:08:16That's the fourth turnover by
01:08:17the Colts and the second
01:08:19interception thrown by Trudeau.
01:08:22Now watch the coverage back
01:08:24behind the 10 yard line here as
01:08:27this ball is winged in there
01:08:30you've got one defender in the
01:08:31back you've got a free safety
01:08:33playing deep middle field ever
01:08:36gets his second interception and
01:08:40sure Trudeau gets smacked a
01:08:41little bit by Russell Maryland
01:08:43but that decision was not caused
01:08:45by pressure that was just a poor
01:08:46decision.
01:08:48So once again the Colts miss an
01:08:52opportunity and Jimmy Johnson
01:08:53and the Colts are going to be a
01:08:55better team but the Colts are
01:08:56more self-destructing than
01:08:58anything else.
01:08:59Three interceptions thrown by
01:09:00Trudeau in the first half four
01:09:02turnovers as the clock winds
01:09:04down ending the first half and
01:09:06we wonder whether March of Order
01:09:07will go to a different
01:09:08quarterback.
01:09:09That's the end of the first half
01:09:10here at the Hoosier Dome with
01:09:11the score the Cowboys 14 the
01:09:14Colts 3 the dealer we are
01:09:18driving excitement American
01:09:20Airlines something special in
01:09:23Heineken just being the best is
01:09:25enough and by Bigfoot pizza from
01:09:27Pizza Hut the biggest pizza you
01:09:29can get delivered back at the
01:09:36Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis at
01:09:37halftime the Cowboys leading the
01:09:39Colts 14 to 3 although the
01:09:40Colts could have gotten a lot
01:09:41more were not for.
