00:00by dropping the ball leaving it on the ground fumbling is what it used to be known as
00:05bonio to kick it off and i think that's affected his confidence that's the thing you know when
00:09you drop one then you start getting concerned about the next one and then you overplay that
00:14one and then you fumble that one and pretty soon if you can just catch the ball it becomes a big
00:19play chris bonio to kick it off he was the nfc's most valuable player last week good kick
00:29out of the end zone is andre coleman
00:33down coverage good bill bates greg briggs
00:42gail gilbert to open a quarterback those of you who watch detroit in green bay you haven't missed
00:48much at jack murphy stadium gail gilbert will start at quarterback in place of stan humphries
00:54the offensive line a big one in front of him swain moten courtney hall the fine center isaac
00:59davis and stan brock natron means sean jefferson martin young and alfred popono
01:08the tight end or h back whatever you like to call him gail gilbert's fourth career start
01:14gives to me means gets away from tolbert natron means gets outside gets about a
01:22dixon edwards finally brought him down here's the defense
01:26that faces that fine running back means really let maryland and tolbert might see some changes
01:32there if san diego stays with three tight ends miles jones and edwards the linebackers
01:39and the secondary larry brown and clayton holmes the corners brock marion and darren woodson
01:45the safety man second and one means got nine on his first carry the charges would be happy with
01:50that second carry don't think he got the first down russell maryland made the stop well two of
02:02the things that bobby ross the charger head coach told us yesterday is they want to be able to do
02:07is one is run at the defensive ends of the cowboys that'd be charles haley and tony tolbert he thinks
02:14that you can wear them down and then with the first down run he wants to average more than four
02:20yards per carry he says that's natron's average anyway if he can just do that on first down they'll
02:25be okay means did get the first down as you saw charges from their own 25 gail gilbert outside
02:33incomplete sean jefferson the intended receiver he stumbled and gilbert's pass went over his head
02:41yeah that's the thing with a quarterback like gail gilbert we're saying he's been
02:45in this league for 10 years been a backup in seattle met a backup with the buffalo bills
02:51and a backup with the san diego chargers this is only the fourth game he started so he says
02:56i've seen it all i've seen everything you have to see he said now i just have to go out and do it
03:02and this is what you wait for here's gilbert back to throw it again up the middle to ronnie harman
03:08harman near the 40 yard line of first down for the chargers godfrey miles made the stop
03:16now ronnie harman is one of those guys if you look here he's he's the guy that comes in for
03:20the chargers on passing down he's the back out of the backfield natron means really doesn't
03:25catch passes ronnie harman does and in that position coming out of the backfield or that
03:31third down running back one of the best in all of football and has been for a long time
03:37his 10th nfl season gilbert with the first down gives to me means has to move to the 45 right now
03:50for mcdonald's game break let's return to james brown in our hollywood studio
03:55a fat murphy stadium no scores yet but the chargers have moved the ball well means again
04:02with room to midfield
04:06natron means goes about 245 but has good speed well he's going to run in here and he gets good
04:14good blocking here boom boom good lead in here and they really get the movement on the cowboys
04:20you see the drive the drive the lead look at that hole for natron means the first guy that hits them
04:25is the safety now you can get past the line and linebackers without getting touched to get right
04:31to the safety it can be a long day excellent block by swain here's gilbert back to throw rush by
04:37tobert but gets loose pass is knocked away at the last second by intended for jefferson by clayton
04:44holmes good play by home and that's that's what they wanted to do they were going to go play pass
04:49and then they were going to work on clayton holmes here's clayton holmes number 47 they wanted to go
04:54play pass and work on him deep there's someone they think they can beat in this cowboy secondary
04:59is clayton holmes jefferson has a beaten right there the ball is just a little short and that
05:05lets clayton holmes catch up to it he made up some ground but he he was behind he was beaten
05:12second and ten
05:17good play by clayton holmes they test him again
05:20andre coleman made the catch got away from home gets a charge your first down you know what they're
05:31doing here the dallas cowboy defense is letting gail gilbert get confident because i don't care
05:37if you've been in the league 10 years and you haven't played then you then it's going to take
05:41time now watch this pattern here this is an option pattern where you start in then up the field and
05:47now you can go in or out when you see the receive the defenders playing you to the inside then you
05:52run a quick out now of course part of that was a pattern part of that was a missed tackle
05:59gilbert again back to throw it
06:03has picked off by larry brown
06:09he just under threw him and brown made the pick he looked like he just threw the
06:14post pattern to larry brown he looked it looked like he was running the pattern instead of the
06:20guy that was running the pattern you see larry brown is up here he's going to come from the
06:27left side of the screen see it's a bootleg you fake one side then they're going to throw back
06:31he's going to throw the post right up in there he looked like he thought that his guys were
06:36wearing white jerseys this is this is sean jefferson he's running a post pattern he stopped
06:44his post pattern see what happened is he stopped the post pattern and went up because larry brown
06:49was playing inside of him and gail gilbert still threw it like he was going to the post and let
06:54larry brown perfectly nova check in motion and eightman brings the cowboy offensive unit out
07:02eightman's going to be tackled for safety
07:12ruben ruben davis just tackled troy eightman for a san diego safety welcome those of you who watched
07:21the eagles and the giants here's what happened just now
07:25yeah ruben davis is a big load he's right over the center you see him he's going to come right
07:30up the middle that was a little stunt there and he started on a twist it comes up the middle
07:36watch ruben davis he's right here he's going to start and then come around this side
07:40lee comes to this side it's a little twist there in the middle boom they take him on
07:45he was kind of blocked that way by nate newton blocked right into that
07:50uh safety and san diego leads dallas two to nothing ruben davis tackled troy eightman in the end zone
08:02now they'll get the free kick from the 20 but san diego importantly will get the ball back and it
08:09should get in pretty good shape and a free kick you usually have your kickoff coverage team you
08:15see the cowboys right down here doing it from the 20 yard line it's usually your punter punting the
08:20ball because it's a free kick like you say you can either kick it off or you can punt it so
08:25usually have your punter do it along with your kickoff coverage team then the return team is
08:30usually the kickoff return team along with the punt returner fielding the ball john jett
08:37back to putt it andre coleman deep for san diego jett good kick he's on a roll
08:49back to the 11
08:53and hit at about the 27 by david lang first all right that was a heck of a free kick because
09:01first all right that was a heck of a free kick because after you get a safety you usually
09:08figure getting the ball back around midfield and the chargers are going to start with the
09:12ball around the 25 yard line that was a heck of a kick it really was a rocket dave adolph
09:20he's talking to his defense down there and one of the things the cowboys were worried about is that
09:24big defensive line of the chargers and those two inside guys ruben davis and sean lay they were
09:30the guys that ran the stunt that got the safety davis got to aikman gail gilbert the quarterback
09:36papuno is the move man makes on me outside the 30 stopped by dixon edwards
09:45two nothing san diego yeah one thing that the cowboys haven't done is they haven't knocked
09:51gail gilbert down yet i think the longer you let a backup quarterback stay clean
09:57the more confidence he's going to get
10:06second and seven means lined up about eight yards deep behind gilbert
10:12they start jefferson in motion gilbert
10:18depletes the pass for a gain of about three
10:20three jefferson the receiver
10:28yeah this offensive line is doing a good job just watch the pass protection again
10:33i think the best friend of a quarterback is a good running game and the second best
10:37friend is good pass protection and look at the time that gail gilbert had on that play
10:43tolbert backed out so they had a three-man rush and they didn't come close
10:48third and four three wide receivers
10:58gilbert back to throw a flag on the play passing complete
11:03tony martin had to stretch i think that panel is going to be against the cowboys
11:10you know one thing that gail gilbert does and he was talking about yesterday is he has a cadence
11:15he'll give a hard count anytime he gets in that like third and four third and three you know where
11:21by getting a penalty you can get a first down and he just did it to him
11:25five yard penalties the yardage will be enough for a first down enough for a first down
11:34see who jumped i was going to jump right in here because you see again it was that cadence
11:41and you know that's that's where you give a hut and then a hut you know and then you give that
11:45hard count and usually go on one more if you're going on two you add one more to it and go on
11:50three and hope your own guys don't jump gilbert gives to me again the forward surge he stopped by
11:58tony tobert but he got about three you know part of that is there is they're pulling their uh
12:05their tackle their off tackle big harry swain part of that stuff that's making that play go
12:10to that right side is swain because natron means can get right in behind swain and just get that
12:17little push look at that face mask and that is swank that's the biggest face mask in football
12:23that's a big cage there second and eight means again stopped by jones
12:36like to welcome those of you watching minnesota tampa bay
12:40bears at jacksonville to jack murphy stadium in san diego
12:44pat summerall with jan with john madden two nothing san diego
12:52we're in the first quarter with 8 15 left third and four san diego ball
12:56gilbert out of there we'll get the first in dallas territory to about the 47 yard line
13:07bates stripped him up that's not a bad move by a quarterback he just puts his head down
13:13you're gonna see a stunt here a stunt here they get gail gilbert here and then they got the rush
13:18coming he sees elena just goes right through it he just puts his head down and runs through it
13:23but you see the stunt there in the left and now he sees it he sees the hole right there puts his
13:27head down and just runs right through it that's the way the fullback used to tell him just put
13:33your head down and run through the hole when you see the stunt yeah he just put his head down and
13:38ran right through the hole put his head up then he put his head back down again mean on first down
13:45chase out of bounds
13:52here is the safety the only scoring so far
13:56eichmann back to throw after an interception by larry brown
14:02and there was big ruben davis the left defensive tackle came around on a stunt straight up the
14:08middle one of the things that the cowboy defense wanted to do was spill means to the sideline they
14:16just did that on that last play second and 12 gilbert back to throw hit by maryland the pass
14:24is going to be recovered the fumble if it is a fumble by the cowboys russell maryland
14:31shantay carver also involved he's got the ball if his arm was going forward as the pass if his arm
14:38wasn't going forward it's not a pass well they're coming off it must have been a fumble that's a
14:43fumble what they're saying is his arm wasn't going forward he's hit by russell maryland right there
14:48and that's right russell maryland got his left hand up there the arm wasn't going forward so
14:53that's a fumble and a recovery by the cowboys
14:57san diego zoo of course one of the most renowned anywhere how'd you like to come up break the
15:04huddle be a center and look at that as a nose tackle and be a center very long here's a
15:10just does get it out of there but does to emmett smith who's hit immediately by sean gale
15:18yeah this is the thing that really kills coaches look at this 16 giveaways that resulted in 55
15:24points that's the second most in the nfl and we're talking to bobby ross he said that's the
15:29thing you know you know that we're not we're not given getting the turnovers we're given the
15:34turnovers he said we're doing it in every area no there's not just one guy or one area we're just
15:39getting the turnovers we're giving the turnovers he said we're doing it in every area no there's
15:44not just one guy or one area we're just turning the ball over they just did it again
15:50that's how dallas got the ball where they got it here is a
16:00at about the san diego 24 shoved out of bounds by terrence shaw i'll tell you what you talk
16:07about a rookie terrence shaw as a rookie you talk about a guy having to play a tough position
16:12playing corner in this league and then you get out there and you have to go
16:17against a guy like michael ervin there's the dallas offensive line
16:24big and good
16:27emmett smith daryl johnson the runners kevin williams there's a question about him
16:32whether he'd make it or not but he has that's kevin williams in motion eight men
16:41inside the five to about the three terrence shaw again that's who they said they were
16:46going to work on is the rookie corner terrence shaw with michael ervin here's the charger defense
16:53ervin by the way has tied the club mark for consecutive games with a catch had been held
16:58by tony hill the linebackers led by juniors say al gibson and bush in the secondary shaw orlando
17:06sean gale and dwayne harper the other cornerback first and goal dallas at the four and those two
17:12passes were both against terrence shaw ron stone has an eligible receiver at smith and he didn't
17:20get anywhere
17:30they found something out here in this left here's michael ervin here again he's going against
17:35terrence shaw this is the second one in a row and you see he just comes off michael ervin is so big
17:40and so quick catches the ball so well uses his body so well and he and troy aikman are almost
17:48perfect together almost the only thing is michael ervin shirttails hanging out today i have no idea
17:53why i've never seen it emmet smith again flag on the play emmet gets in the end zone for a touchdown
18:01but a penalty marker down that was a heck of a run you know you get in there behind that larry
18:07allen they're the right garden eric williams a right tackle that is some power over there
18:13emmet smith still celebrating in the end zone dick hantag all sides defense number 97 lineup
18:21in the neutral zone penalty is declined touchdown
18:28yeah here's where you want to run the ball right here here's larry allen here's eric williams
18:33to meet two of the best offensive linemen in the game and look they double team or when they double
18:39team i'll guarantee you're going to get knocked backwards you're going to get turned over and
18:44you're going to get put right on your back for the extra point it's good and dallas has the lead
18:49there's a flag on the extra point emmet smith by the way is now the cowboys all-time touchdown leader
18:56that was his 87 he and tony dorsett had been tied at 86 emmet smith keeps every one of those
19:05footballs number 40 lined up in the neutral zone prior to the snap
19:11extra point is good we will penalize five yards on the kickoff
19:15all right that was an ugly series for the chargers they have the fumble
19:20and then after that they have two penalties
19:22you block like that man you can spike it for me and i'll go get it
19:36stadium in san diego dallas 7 san diego 2 eggman tackled for his safety but
19:45led the offensive unit back quickly and emmet smith scored the touchdown coleman deep for san diego
19:52bonio's kick is going to be high and short this time at the seven
19:58but the coverage is good again david lang second time he's been down
20:06big eric williams
20:10what a block he got on that touchdown by smith
20:12and to the cowboys lead the chargers at jack murphy stadium san diego's first two possessions
20:23an interception and a fumble that's the thing that's haunted them all year long
20:28turnover whistles blow flag on the play gilbert tried to go on a quick count
20:36but i think maybe harry swain beat him even to the quick count false start offense by the snaps
20:43number 72 five yard penalty still first down yeah i've always said that that that charles haley
20:51really causes more havoc with guys that have to block them than anyone i mean you know that if
20:57you don't get a jump on charles haley then you're not going to get him blocked and that's exactly
21:02what harry swain did he's so concerned he sees that 94 there he knows he's in pass protection
21:08and he knows that he can't get beaten out of a stand so he leaves a little early and his first
21:13and 15 means that is not natron means that's fletcher
21:27fletcher is not going to be able to get away from charles haley there
21:32that's one thing that the chargers have to do is is not only run the ball so that they can get
21:37their their play passes to work but again they have to get away from those turnovers
21:43and they have to get first down fletcher stays mean stands on the sidelines second and nine
21:49gilbert caught by jefferson that'll be enough for a first down for the chargers clayton holmes
21:56made a stop i will say this gilbert has had an interception and he's had a fumble but he's also
22:03had pretty good pass protection now this is what they want to do they want to work on number 47
22:08clayton holmes so they're going to jefferson just runs a hook there he just pushes him up
22:13makes him think that he's going to go up then just turns around and gail gilbert hits him
22:19well executed now natron means
22:24is behind gail gilbert he's four out of seven it means gets the carry and got some room
22:32stopped by godfrey miles flag on the play
22:40that's going to be against the chargers you know sometimes those things
22:43go hand in hand turnovers and penalties i think the chargers are
22:48doing pretty well or having a bad year in both of those areas
22:52their record of course is three and three dick hantak
22:58the referee three minutes two seconds left to play in the first quarter dallas ahead 72
23:05illegal chop
23:11talking with robert jones the cowboys middle linebacker
23:25long conversation against the offense we have holding on number 67 decline and
23:31we have holding on number 67 decline we have an illegal crackback on number
23:3883 it's a 15 yard penalty from the dead ball spot here it is on andre coleman here's the
23:45crackback andre coleman here now they had holding and this now you can come in and block but you
23:52can't block below the waist right that's the illegal chop block they you know they used to
23:57call that a crackback and that was how you taught them to do it you know come in there
24:00and crack back and just block them like that then they made that block illegal you can come in
24:06and block like that but it has to be above the waist fletcher is the deep back for san diego
24:17gilbert back to throw it another flag on the play
24:22as sean jefferson makes the catch from gilbert but another penalty marker down
24:27yeah the charges you know we talked about turnovers and penalties are
24:31the other thing they're 29th in the league for penalties and there's another one
24:38that's just i mean there's two things bobby ross has already been hospitalized once this year
24:43with a stomach ailment but i'll tell you that that's one of the things that causes them
24:48that'll put you back in the hospital yeah i mean you get those penalties and you get the
24:51turnovers formation on the offense number 67 not on the line of scrimmage five yard penalty
24:58repeat the down first down there's a guy stan brock who uh who they played before that they
25:06called him here's stan brock here see what they're saying that that he's not on the line of scrimmage
25:10that he's lined up in the backfield and that makes that an illegal formation they're right
25:15watching so he held on to play before that and then he illegally lined up and he's a 16 year
25:21veteran gilbert back to throw on first half screen pass outside to ronnie harman cowboys
25:29played it well chad hennings made the stop robert jones with the assistant
25:42you know harman is one of those guys remember like dave mega was for the giants and you know
25:48one of those guys that you bring in not only on third down but on any any passing down and
25:54and he not only you know lines up in the backfield sometimes he's a slide he'll go in motion
25:59he'll run a draw a screen one of those guys you know he's there but he still gets open
26:05here's gilbert gonna throw back to ronnie harman
26:08chased by hailey got away from hailey got away from cobert
26:11chased by maryland got away from him but they got him hemmed up down
26:19miles and homes
26:24charles hailey was too smart for that play what they tried to do is
26:28ronnie harman went out like he was going to block hailey now watch him he'll come here
26:32here's hailey here he'll go like he's going to block him then he tries to sneak off then when
26:37he tries to sneak off charles hailey just goes with him you see him try and block right there
26:41hailey feels it now seeing that ball had to be thrown over hailey's head then hailey went over
26:46there and made him stop and reverse the field you know for all those things we're talking about
26:50charles hailey doing this and being a pass rusher and having he's also a very very smart player
26:55third and 26 going deep
27:01and yes it's a catch i believe you always get the catch on your sideline yeah because you have the
27:07help there the official has all the help on that side andre coleman let's call it again we talked
27:14about who they're going to work on and i think this is going to be all day they're going to work
27:17on number 47 clayton holmes any way they can clayton holmes turns to the inside then gets
27:23spun around and then the ball is right there and let's see watch his feet well you got to watch
27:30his knee too because one knee equals two feet if he has one knee inbounds then that's as good as two
27:38feet that means straight ahead did you see one knee or two feet well it looked like he had two
27:49feet none knees right i think both knees were out of bounds i remember we did that one time and the
27:55guy had his feet weren't inbounds and art mcnally that was the head of the committee head of the
28:02officials and well look and see again he said one knee equals two feet he had both knees out of
28:08bounds i think he's that was out of bounds none knees or both knees out of bounds equals out of
28:13bounds pass thrown again to coleman on the opposite side of the field again a good pass from gilbert
28:23and another charger first down dallas leading
28:26with 17 seconds left in the first quarter 7-2 the charger's moving the charger's got a break on that
28:32one we're all clayton holmes he can't do anything right they're going to work on him they're going
28:39to work on him deep and then he finally turns to the inside gets spun around and guy has both
28:45knees out of bounds they still give it to him barry switzer who was sort of feeling under the weather
28:51yesterday has really done a good job both of run blocking and pass protection well they're just
29:02about as big as the dallas offensive line you won't see many like that
29:10that's means picking his way and picks his way to our first down inside the 20 to about the 17
29:17tolbert finally tripped him up
29:25there you can look and see where they're where they're throwing the ball
29:29they went two to two to the left one out of three to the middle and where they're really
29:33throwing on clayton holmes five out of six for 74 yards so right now you can say where are the
29:40charges going with their passing game and it's either to the right side or where clayton holmes
29:46is playing and this is going to be the last game that the cowboys will play with clayton holmes
29:51in the corner because the cowboys get a bye next week and they play at land the following week and
29:56by then deon sanders will be in there in the in the starting lineup he shouldn't make his cowboy
30:03debut in atlanta and another guy they just signed yesterday another outstanding performer darren
30:12smith he's expected to play when they start after the bye against atlanta in atlanta and i'll tell
30:18you one day we're talking to darren woodson the the safety of the cowboys yesterday these
30:24these two cowboy safeties are going to be a lot better when deon sanders is playing one of those
30:28corners because they don't have to stay back and look and always worry about the outside and helping
30:34and deep and working on a guy they can just concentrate on the run and their area deon says
30:40he doesn't want any help if he needed any help he wouldn't get all that money that's right
30:46that's going to be a first down by means in san diego robert jones on the bottom of the stack
30:54he got right in there again but behind harry swain the left tackle is doing a good job of
30:59blocking over there because that the run before that was to his side and eric moten the left guard
31:07eric moten remember him number 77 he was he was a great player had a real bad knee two years ago
31:15rehabbed it all last year they didn't think he'd ever play again
31:20and he came back and not only playing he's playing well here's gilbert
31:25batted up in the air and almost picked off and a flag comes flying in
31:31scott case almost came up with the deflected pass
31:36going to be against dallas according to gail gilbert he was the first guy down there and the
31:40happiest guy he's already thrown one interception in that middle that's the second time he threw in
31:45the middle almost had an interception number 28 first down at the spot of the foul you heard
31:54dick hantak say we're just talking about darren woodson
32:02it's going to be first and goal with about the eight for san diego
32:07darren woodson unhappy about that call he's a heck of a player he's really a half linebacker
32:12and half safety you see what they did it was that left hand there on ronnie harman
32:18left hand spinning them around that's means to about the six stopped by tolbert
32:28you know this is a good time if you're if you're going to pass the ball down here
32:33play pass on second down is a good time to pass it
32:40all the chargers wear that number 92
32:46remembering their deceased teammate
32:51david driggs
32:53second and goal
33:01gilbert has picked up by brock marian in the end zone one he should not have thrown
33:06he's hurting maybe pride is all that's hurt i think his feelings are hurting because you know
33:12you know if you're going to throw one away you throw it to the outside yeah i mean you throw
33:17away out of the field you never try and throw a ball away in the middle of the field and that's
33:22exactly what gail gilbert does see he's looking to the left he has nothing there he gets pressure
33:26from russell maryland then he just goes to throw it away just before tony tolbert gets there
33:32he throws it into the middle and there's brock marian and the cowboys will take over and they'll
33:37have the ball at their own 20. he had nothing open you see when he's set up right now this is what he
33:47sees this is covered now he gets a rush and when he tries to throw it away into the middle he just
33:52throws it right to brock marian you never throw it away in the middle and gives to smith on the
33:57cowboys first play and he gets maybe a yard mims made the stop there's deon sanders talking to
34:04clayton home watch what he does here as he walks away points to his head you know see don't let
34:11him mess with your head you know that's that's the thing i mean any good cornerback has to have a bad
34:16memory right second and nine for dallas at their own 21 they lead 7-2
34:29bateman emmett smith and emmett smith is wrapped up by dennis gibson after perhaps a yard
34:41they're really trying to block up that inside chris mims the defensive end of the chargers
34:47hard inside move on eric williams he just lines up and just runs right in there just watch mims here
34:54he's going to go right inside of williams all they want to do is shut off of this area here
34:59for emmett smith's running that has taken a hard inside yep and that really pinches everything down
35:06on three wide receivers for the cowboys flag on the play as eggman lets it go
35:14long intended for corey fleming or in that direction but a penalty marker on the play
35:21prior to the snap false start number 79 offense
35:28we're talking about the play before where the mims took a hard inside on eric williams
35:33the next play he gets ready for him he said prior to the play yeah any any any time you move it's a
35:42penalty it has to be prior to the play no no when you have when you weigh 340 pounds you got to let
35:48a guy move that much i mean that much movement will be called by a jiggle clock to read 11 minutes
35:54and 58 seconds basically what it means is the cowboys get another shot after the penalty
36:01because there was no play there was no play but i mean a guy big eric williams is out there i mean
36:06he weighs so much and when he just i mean sometimes your parts just start to move downwards and you'll
36:11jiggle that much that was a bad call eggman back to throw no flags this time
36:22got it underneath him at smith not enough for a first down not nearly enough for a first down
36:28jr say out jr say out one of the the fastest and best open field tacklers
36:36and he did that you know when they they go to all these nickels and dimes in a long yard it's just
36:40they keep in jr say out because he can do this one he can get there because he has great speed
36:46and two he can do something once he gets there and emmett smith talked
36:50about him with great respect yesterday here's john jett back
36:56andre coleman deep for san diego jet doesn't really get it all this time
37:05the ball bounds out of bounds at about the 45 yard line san diego will take over from there
37:11and he's going to get it call it the 43
37:1810 56 left to play in the first half 7 2 at jack murphy stadium pat summer all with john madden
37:26dallas and the san diego chargers you know the charges have really been playing pretty well i
37:33mean they've had 28 plays four yards in advance of the dead ball spot we're advancing the ball
37:38san diego what they're saying here is the ball had been illegally touched four yards before so
37:47they moved it back to four yards after had it been illegally touched so the chargers take over at
37:55their own 47 instead of back where they had knocked it out of bounds they knocked it forward
38:03here's gilbert back to throw it going deep got a man open passes picked off by the cowboys
38:11clayton holmes whatever deon sanders said to clayton holmes pad it worked he was over there
38:17and he's talking to him and said you have to have a bad memory they're going to work on you
38:21you know what he did to change sides i know it larry brown went to that side he came over here
38:26on this side they're still looking for him clayton holmes had been over on the right side
38:31then they move him over to the to the left side of the offense they're still going to work on him
38:36he was beaten by that play and again it was just a short throw this is the chargers fourth turnover
38:42gilbert just didn't couldn't get the ball there or didn't get the ball there seven two
38:46dallas is gene gina seo jr's wife was expecting their second child at any moment yeah she was
38:55expecting it yesterday yeah i said well will she be in the hospital today jr said no she doesn't
39:01have the baby she's going to be at the game today and there she was you may have the baby at the
39:06game aitman gets it to jay novacek and novacek gets outside the 25 plus 26 and gets the dallas
39:17first down you know gail gilbert there he's had four turnovers three interceptions and a fumble
39:23his first half the charges have really been playing pretty well they've had good pass protection
39:30some of the guys have been open too yeah and he just hasn't
39:33gotten a ball to him they look like you they were checking his jaw there
39:39emmett smith not much all right now for a mcdonald's game break let's return to james
39:48brown in our hollywood studio pat redskins trying to sweep the cardinals for the first
39:51time since 91 gus farad play action deep crossing pattern radshaw's favorite route
39:57to henry ellert washington nursing a four-point lead back to pat and john
40:06back at jack murphy stadium pat summerall john madden
40:10dallas has the ball second and nine at their own 27
40:14chargers fake the blitz darryl johnson even in san diego wherever he goes that moose call comes out
40:27that's that's the thing if you ever want to name a kid and you want him to be popular just put
40:31just give him a name that has two o's together or a bunch of u's in it yeah because they do the
40:36same thing here for pupuna yep so either moose either name him like moose zoo or poo poo how
40:44about zoo that'd be a good one anything like that that has two o's together then you'll never know
40:50if you're being cheered or booed as you go through life that'd be a good way to go through life
40:57and you talk about being on the same page those two are in the same paragraph yeah and and it
41:07starts right on the line of scrimmage too you know big eric williams keeps his guy on the line
41:12of scrimmage because that's where you're going to throw that slant if you're going to throw that
41:16slant this guy better block and keep this guy right here you're going to take the quick drop
41:21you're going to hit the slant right in here but you can't let a lot of penetration coming right
41:25see right there you keep that guy right there in the line of scrimmage that gives you the lane
41:30to get to michael ervin caused by the right tackle eric williams here's a man
41:38again complete this time to nova check
41:42aikman was under pressure got rid of it just in time i think it comes out there ball comes out
41:48of there in a hurry doesn't yeah i don't think he's thrown an incomplete pass yet they're still
41:52working on gail gilbert there but watch him i mean that thing he just keeps it up there and just
41:57boom and you know you talk about being on the same page with michael ervin he's also on the same page
42:04with jane overcheck and then the other thing you have is a big offensive line and the other thing
42:08you have is you can hand it to emin smith for eight minutes perfect eight out of eight hard
42:14to improve on that first and ten i don't remember any going to ride
42:24to ervin to about the 32 juniors seo made the tackle
42:33yeah watch this pass protection larry allen is quickly becoming one of the best guards in the
42:38league and i think that eric williams you know when he gets back i think he's the best offensive
42:43lineman in all of football see how they just pass protect they know where troy aikman's going to be
42:49and they just keep their guys away if they want to go beyond they'll push them beyond
42:52they want to stay in front they'll turn them out second and four emin smith
42:58emin breaking tacos and smith down inside the charger 20 to about the 17 bow orlando finally
43:05brought him down well you know it's just a matter of time with emin smith i mean you never look you
43:11know he starts it's kind of slow and then boom he just kind of keeps going and going and going
43:18you know and they'll just wear you down that big offensive line watch nate newton
43:22he comes out there turns he gets this guy one little one little pop with that shoulder i mean
43:26nate is so big and his arms are so big and he's so strong and powerful that he just kind of flexes
43:32that arm boom and the guy goes right to his back guy just disappeared that's the way to pull we're
43:38going to pull do something like that aikman fires to nova check yeah i don't know that that's saying
43:46they got to the guys in a zone i don't know exactly what that means but if that is a word
43:52like some guy being in a zone troy aikman injured his calf and then i think that calf injury put him
43:58in a zone because we saw him last week he's almost perfect and today he's almost perfect
44:04two tight ends
44:18on the play johnston inside the five
44:25they don't do that very often i mean they have one runner in there and that's emin smith and
44:30daryl johnston's a blocker they don't cut the moose loose much but they just cut the moose loose
44:36there but troy even looks more relaxed and since he got that calf i mean there may be something
44:46that goes from the calf to the brain defensive end line up in the neutral zone at the snaps
44:51kenley is declined result of the play first out that's three times the chargers have been called
44:58for lining up in the neutral zone well let's see it's a thing that's been hurting them all year
45:03this year is is the penalties and the turnovers and that's what they've had this first half i mean
45:09offensive and defensive penalties first and goal at the three dallas already leading seven two
45:16trying for more won't get more this time
45:24lost a little bit that's what they want to do is you want to get him going sideways i mean any time
45:31emin smith can have his shoulders squared to the line of scrimmage a lot of bad things can happen
45:37to your defense when you can get his shoulders perpendicular to the line of scrimmage then you
45:42have a chance well then he can only go one way when he's square he can go either way and he does it
45:48as well as anyone ever has i think he does it better than you know and on that cutback stuff
45:53and slashing i think he does it better than anyone 11th play of this drive coming up nova
45:59checks the man in motion aikman gives to emin smith and smith fights his way down close
46:06no signal from the officials yet but that was that cutback we were talking about right there
46:13he started to the middle of the right and somehow he just jumped back to the left i didn't hear
46:18again behind nate newton watch him you see he starts here now again it's where you're where
46:24the ball is when your knees go down see his knees down there you can't see the ball but i guess the
46:30ball wasn't in when when his knees went down he is almost like wading through people and those
46:36people he's waiting for being knocked backwards by a good offensive line there he is again and
46:42he's going to score for dallas his second rushing touchdown of the day
46:52harry switzer saying now we're talking now we got something going here
46:56troy aikman was six six out of six for 60 yards on that drive emin smith just capped it off but
47:03again i mean you know and you say this all the time you have to give credit to this offensive
47:07line they they just took over on this drive the cowboy offensive line took over emin smith kept
47:14the ball and took it to the sideline and troy aikman is still limping yeah that's that calf
47:20muscle isn't better but if you're going to play with a bad calf you better have good
47:24pass protection he has and a good arm
47:32bonio's extra point is good it's 14 to 2
47:37aflac trivia question this week what nfl player has been in the last five superbowls
47:45the last five 14 to dallas
47:49now that is a funny movie yes we're talking about youth youth what's a youth
48:02andre coleman stopped at about the 27 where the chargers take over billy davis made the stop
48:11what nfl player has been in the last five superbowl
48:26what should it be that he's thrown three interceptions and a fumble in the first
48:31half of this game would a hint be he's playing in this game that's he right there
48:35gail gilbert was with buffalo as they lost four straight in san diego last year when they lost
48:44you know one of the interesting things is is tony martin is the leading receiver in the afc
48:50he hasn't caught a pass yet
48:54gilbert back to throw has deflected he was trying to drop it off to nate troy
49:01has deflected he was trying to drop it off to nato means hit by maryland
49:09yeah the the chargers had some had some chances but they just they just self-destructed if you
49:15look on their first possession they had an interception the second then they had a fumble
49:20and then they had an interception then they had an interception so on four possessions they've
49:26ended in three interceptions and a fumble three wide receivers now for the chargers running harman
49:34in motion gilbert to throw gets it up the middle of harman
49:43yeah there's certain backs certain guys like that maggot was one you mentioned him harman's one
49:49that always seemed to find the hole in a defense yeah well you know once they come out they work
49:54that middle they're usually running some kind of option or scat pattern that they usually get
50:00one-on-one they don't get the best defenders covering them and if the guy plays them outside
50:04they usually have an option to run inside or vice versa natron means into dallas territory
50:13led up by brock mary and darren woodson down in the pile also you know and that's not a bad
50:18combination when you have a ronnie harman coming in and he does basically he does all the pass
50:24receiving the offense and then you have natron means and he does all the running so means could
50:29just worry about this stuff like this eye formation you get pupunu giving a lead for you you know
50:35cutting back bringing that ball over like that doing the running part then harman takes care of
50:40the pass receiving part means it doesn't catch any passes and harman really doesn't run on them
50:45although he is now there's harman running doesn't quite get the first down about a yard shy
50:54and we'll get the two-minute warning dallas leads san diego 14 to two
51:09gail gilbert the ball carrier barry switzer
51:16looking into a bright sunlight i think this could be a big thing for the chargers if they
51:20could get a score here before halftime any kind of score gilbert down he goes he felt him go by
51:29tolbert and haley maybe it'll be a big series for him if it just doesn't end in a
51:34interception or a fumble cowboy player down
51:41you said he ever in his life could have flown a jet airplane how did he get into a jet airplane
51:47it was a big plane obviously yeah but i didn't think in the air force they'd take guys that big
51:55well he told us i think last year that he had eaten himself out of the cockpit
51:59yeah what was that i mean he he flew some kind of plane that had a hog in it i remember that
52:04warthog warthog yeah
52:10you see right here at the end gilbert just misses this and i think
52:14i think that he got leg whipped by his own guy right there at the end of the play
52:19he got like kicked in the in the thigh or the the hamstring a bruise second and 15
52:27gilbert's back to throw throwing a screen pass out to ronnie harman good play by jim swans
52:36he closed in a hurry didn't he yeah swans had to you know he's in there in that
52:40in that nickel situation and if you're going to be a nickel guy you have to be able to run you
52:45have to be able to cover and then like we talked about before you have to be able to tackle in the
52:49open field third and 16 hayley swans on gilbert
52:59one thing about charles haley he doesn't do a lot of celebratory stuff does it
53:04charles is just going to say okay it's about time i get a sack here harry swain you see
53:09kind of just lulls him to sleep and then just runs right by him he didn't give him much of a
53:13move at all so quick i think you know instead of putting his hands up there he just kept his hands
53:20down that kept harry swain's down and i think he just kind of lulled him to sleep the old street
53:25move and then went just right around him dallas timeout they have one lap now you can say what
53:31you say want to say about charles haley whether he practices he doesn't practice he has a bad back
53:36he should be there but if the cowboys don't have charles haley playing for him they don't go to any
53:42super bowl i mean he's the guy to me that the whole defense is built around him raising having
53:49rushing the passer getting in the backfield running line stunts whatever in fact last night
53:55i'm taking a walk listen i'm taking a walk yeah and and here comes a a couple with a baby and
54:02they're big cowboy fans they say and they have the little girl and she's like two years old
54:07and they want a picture they take her out and and their favorite player is charles haley and
54:11the daughter is named haley they call the little girl haley clayton holmes handles the punt
54:21and dallas will take over at their own 17
54:25next week's box they lost to the colts earlier today
54:31on first down eight mental thought
54:35pass is caught fired and off to the races and out of bounds at about the 45
54:41bow orlando got him out of bounds
54:46don't forget coming up at the half the dockers halftime report jb terry howie and jimmy scores
54:51jb terry howie and jimmy scores and highlights some surprises around the league today
54:57in the early games now we just talked about one of them 49ers losing i guess
55:02you know the 49ers were coming off a bye i guess steve young was was sick or something but
55:10the 49ers sure didn't look like the 49ers a little part of the game i saw
55:14on first down eight men's gonna throw it dumps it to daryl justin incomplete and that three
55:25augers the first one incomplete i thought i was going to say i don't think that he's
55:28thrown an incomplete pass yet and that that's the thing that he didn't want to do you see he had to
55:33move a little and now his leg is starting to bother him because he said a week ago he said
55:38if i have to run i can't play in this game i'm going to be out of there and his offensive line
55:43did such a good job along with daryl johnson he didn't have to run at all that time he had to run
55:48and he and it looks like that calf's bothering him second and ten looked okay coming back
56:02outside daryl johnston and the moose is out of bounds in charger territory they're 48
56:08on the harrison knocked him out of bounds of course when you're 12 out of 13 how much can
56:13anything be bothering you but i really do i think i think that this thing that this
56:18calf muscle has really relaxed troy aikman a little and he is in that thing if it's his own
56:24sass is the injured charger third and short aikman to throw it whips it outside to emmett smith
56:35and emmett will get his first down and get out of bounds that's a good example
56:39of just what you were talking about yeah and it's a good example of what emmett smith is too you know
56:44i mean they always say who's the best running back and if you go pure runner they say barry sanders
56:48but emmett smith is a running back that you leave in every down i mean if you want to run it emmett
56:53runs it if you want to pass it you know he can go out there and catch a pass and if you need
56:58a blocker he'll block as well as any of them
57:06nervously waiting to call the next play on first down here's aikman to throw it again with time
57:14deflected maybe leslie o'neill got a hand on it it was intended for daryl johnson
57:23that was leslie o'neill you wonder why he wasn't out there and you know in the pass rush here's the
57:29coverage on michael irving see if you can get your hands on him and grab him and get him up around
57:35the neck and hold on to him then you have a chance to cover that's a way to do it that's a way to do
57:40it i mean you can you can only well that way you could not only only throw a play you could turn
57:46your arrest him for that second down and ten and they plan to throw it again
57:55which hit in the direction of kevin williams incomplete
58:03williams and harper i think that's the first pass that uh troy aikman is as thrown to williams
58:10today i think it is and maybe it's the first pass that they've thrown at number 28 duane harper
58:15seems like they've been working the middle and working against tarrant shaw the other corner
58:22straight away from harper was probably the best defensive backs on this charge the team
58:28third and ten three wide receivers for the cowboys this time
58:34williams comes out of the slot aikman case from behind just does get rid of it incomplete
58:39and he was hit by leslie o'neal just as he threw that ball leslie o'neal is going to come from his
58:51back side right here you see aikman starts to move out to his right here comes 91 leslie o'neal
58:58he dies and just as aikman throws him he grabs that right leg
59:04now this is the thing that he can't do he wants to stay in the pocket
59:08because right now he can't run he can't he can't take too many of those in this game
59:15no he can't
59:19andre coleman deep ball takes a bounce back toward the cowboys and they down it
59:26at about 16 yard line don't forget to stay with us at the half the dockers
59:33halftime report with jb terry howie and jimmy we are deep in the end zone
