00:00Healthy Charles Haley today. Haley wants to be that pass rusher, that disruptive force that the Cowboys need.
00:08But Johnson told us yesterday his biggest fear is that the Jets will run the ball, control the ball on offense, and keep his high-powered offense off the field.
00:17The New York Jets come in with an 8-5 mark, a very important game for them.
00:21They are involved in a playoff hunt along with either Miami and Buffalo, Houston and Kansas City.
00:26So they really need a victory today to keep pace with the competition.
00:30They have won six of their last seven, but Bruce Coslett says their team has to play at the very edge of its capability to win today.
00:38Now they've played terrific on defense so far, but they've had real offensive problems.
00:42I would say real offensive problems. No touchdowns in two and a half games.
00:47A lot of that has to do with the weather that they've played in, but a lot of it also has to do with a change of the mindset.
00:53Boomer Siason told me yesterday that the Jets feel a lot more confident running the ball, and that's because of Johnny Johnson.
01:00The big fullback from Phoenix now is a force on this football team.
01:04He is to the New York Jets what Emmitt Smith is to the Dallas Cowboys.
01:08For the Jets to win today, Johnson has to have an Emmitt Smith-like day.
01:14For a mid-December afternoon in New York, not at all a bad day. 41 degrees.
01:19But there is a forecast of sleet and snow later on this evening.
01:26The Dallas Cowboys won the toss and will receive.
01:33Deep man is Brock Mariano.
01:37And Corey Blanchard, who was once cut by the Cowboys, will kick off.
01:45This will be taken by Kevin Williams at the goal line.
01:50Has some room.
01:53Is knocked off his feet as he gets to the 22.
01:56There is a loose ball and a scramble for it.
02:03Dallas recovered.
02:08That's real fortunate for Williams. You know, he's stretching out trying to get across that 20-yard line,
02:13knowing that he took that ball right at the goal line.
02:16Watch him stretch out here and the ball is popped loose by Murrell.
02:19And fortunate for the Cowboys, Williams got it back.
02:24Troy Aikman opens at quarterback. Only three interceptions for the season in 315 throws.
02:34First from 10, Dallas.
02:40Johnson and Emmitt Smith in the backfield.
02:43A flag is thrown as the pass is complete to Emmitt Smith.
02:46And he moves it out to the 29, if indeed the play stands up.
02:51Referee today is Jerry Austin.
02:56Now what happened is Steve Deasi was injured on the play after the kickoff and he was on the Dallas sideline.
03:06And you must exit the field on your own sideline, so this is a legal procedure against the Jets.
03:11I can understand why he would do that. He used to play for the Cowboys.
03:15One-time draft choice of Dallas and then acquired by the New York Giants.
03:19Illegal substitution on the defense. Number 89 left on the wrong side of the field.
03:25Five yards, repeat first down.
03:27Gotta have a little mercy. He was confused.
03:29Well, he was hit pretty good. You can see he still doesn't know exactly which team he's playing for.
03:35Troy Aikman is the quarterback.
03:37Troy Aikman is the quarterback.
03:40And the offensive line, one of the developing offensive lines in the league.
03:442 and A, and Newton Cornish replaces Mark Stepnowski today.
03:49Gogan and Williams. It's Smith and Johnston, Irvin and Kevin Williams for an injured Alvin Harper.
03:54And Jay Novichak is a tight end.
03:58They hand it off to Emmitt Smith and he doesn't get much.
04:01Hole is plugged in the middle of the defensive line.
04:05New York Jets defense and they have been sensational lately.
04:09It's Lagerman and Frey's, Mercereau and Washington.
04:13The linebackers, Mo Lewis, Kyle Clifton and Bobby Houston.
04:18On the corners, James Hastie, Ronnie Lott is a free safety.
04:22Brian Washington with five interceptions this season is joined by Eric Thomas.
04:27There is Ronnie Lott, second down and four.
04:31Quick pick up to the left hand side.
04:35And the tackle is made with no game.
04:38Kevin Williams grabs it and Ronnie Lott makes the stop.
04:43The key to this play is for the Cowboys is the block of Mark 2 and A.
04:47He's got to take down Lagerman with help from Nate Newton.
04:51That gives Aikman that throwing lane but Ronnie Lott smelled that play from the outset
04:58and got out and made the tackle on Kevin Williams.
05:02Alvin Harper is on the active roster today.
05:06We expect to only see him in third downs and he is not in there now.
05:10This is Kevin Williams in motion.
05:14Aikman has time and finds Michael Irvin for the first down for 36.
05:21Tackle made by Eric Thomas.
05:24That offensive line gave Aikman enough time for Irvin to work his way across the middle through all this traffic.
05:31You can see all the people he has to go through. Clifton is one guy.
05:35But it was that offensive line that gave Aikman enough time.
05:39And when you give Aikman time, he's going to find Michael Irvin.
05:4375th catch of the season for Michael Irvin. A gain of nine and a first down.
05:49Dallas.
05:53Quick count. Aikman back.
05:55Looks across the middle for Smith.
05:58And Emmitt Smith stumbles as he reaches the 42 yard line.
06:01Kyle Clifton who played collegiately in North Texas at Texas Christian University makes the stop.
06:07Cowboys showing a lot of respect for that Jet defense who came in today's game as the number four total defense in the NFL.
06:15And they're number four against the run.
06:17So it looks like offensive coordinator Norv Turner is going to throw the ball a little bit today.
06:23And we'll go with the double tight end set now as Scott Galbraith comes in for the Cowboys.
06:31Novacek tight to the right. Galbraith in motion.
06:34The handoff to Emmitt Smith. He cuts back to his right and squirts through to the 45 yard line.
06:41A gain of three. That leaves a need of two.
06:46Well what a roll the Jets have been on the last four games.
06:50Prior to that first one against New England in the monsoon they had gone 11 years without registering a shutout.
06:58Yeah but you look at these teams they're all struggling this year and they're all down towards the bottom of the standings.
07:05Today against the Cowboys and this high powered offense is going to be another story.
07:1032. Blitz.
07:12Smith gets through the blitz and he's got some open room.
07:15He's down to 49.
07:17First down Dallas.
07:20That's the one thing everybody always says about Emmitt Smith is his ability to read the blocks and find the little seams
07:27and how nobody on the defense ever seems to get a square shot at him.
07:32There's Ronnie Lott and Jeff Lagerman two of the best missing.
07:35And it takes Eric Thomas to come up from the secondary to make the tackle but not before Emmitt Smith picked up another first down.
07:42Emmitt Smith is fourth in the league in rushing entering today's game.
07:46He trails the leader Barry Sanders by 41 yards.
07:49Here's play action.
07:51Aikman in trouble.
07:52Got him. Lagerman.
07:54Sacked at the 45.
08:00Seven sacks this season.
08:03And a bit of conversation with Eric Williams.
08:07He's going to beat the other tackle though.
08:09This is 2 and A and Lagerman.
08:11Little play action by Aikman.
08:13Fakes the lead.
08:14Drawed Emmitt.
08:15And just a great job of Lagerman going right around a very good offensive tackle in Mark 2 and A.
08:23Loss of 6.
08:24Second and 16.
08:27Opening drive of the ballgame.
08:28We have no score.
08:32Stunts by the defensive line.
08:33The pass is caught by Kevin Williams.
08:36He's got wonderful speed.
08:38But he's forced out of bounds before he can use it on this play.
08:40He's down at the 44.
08:44One thing the Jets are going to try to do is keep these big receivers of the Cowboys on the line of scrimmage by using bump and run.
08:52But you can see there's just nobody out there covering Kevin Williams man to man.
08:58Ronnie Lott comes over late.
09:01Kevin Williams the number two draft choice of the Cowboys this year.
09:05Played for Jimmy Johnson.
09:06Was recruited by him at Miami.
09:09From Dallas.
09:11Played high school ball there.
09:12Third down and 5.
09:16Aikman.
09:17Finds Kevin Williams and that's going to be very close for the first down.
09:22It's going to be short of the first down I think.
09:24Just an eyeball from this perspective.
09:26But that is a significant pass by Aikman to Kevin Williams.
09:31So far today Aikman's 5 for 5 and 3 of them have been directed at number 85.
09:38Dallas will go for it.
09:39On fourth and a foot.
09:41They're pretty good.
09:42On fourth and short.
09:43They've converted 6 out of 10 so far this year.
09:48First risky play of the ball game with 850 remaining first quarter.
09:58Johnston.
09:59First down.
10:00Fumble.
10:01Dallas recovers.
10:03Emmitt Smith fell on it after the ball popped out.
10:06A gain of two.
10:08And an apparent first down.
10:10Now Johnston goes over the top and it appeared he had the first down.
10:13But this ball comes flying out of there.
10:16Look at the heads up play as the ball goes right between the legs of Kevin Gogan.
10:21And there's Emmitt Smith with the recovery.
10:23And this should be a Dallas first down.
10:25There's Jerry Austin.
10:27Except it was a fumble on fourth down.
10:29That means that Johnston has to recover it.
10:31The fumble came loose at the 40 yard line.
10:34It was recovered by another player.
10:37Therefore it didn't make the first down.
10:39First down.
10:40Good catch Dan.
10:42Now this is a rule that had its advent with Kenny Stabler and the Oakland Raiders.
10:48Against my old team the San Diego Chargers.
10:51On fourth down the man carrying the ball if he fumbles has to be responsible for the recovery.
10:57You see Emmitt Smith come in there.
10:59And that's a heads up call by the officials.
11:02And a big turnover for Darrell Johnston and the Dallas Cowboys.
11:08Jets have the ball when we come back.
11:16That's defensive coordinator Pete Carroll with a headset on.
11:19His team holds Dallas on the fumble.
11:22On fourth down.
11:23Johnston did in fact though have the first down and then fumbled the ball.
11:27Now Boomer Esiason hasn't thrown a touchdown pass in the last 17 quarters.
11:33It's been a dry spell for the Jets.
11:37First down and 10.
11:41Esiason into the left flat.
11:43It's caught by Rob Moore under 85.
11:47And the tackle made by Darren Smith.
11:50Offensive line Criswell and Cadigan.
11:52Sweeney, White and Malamala.
11:54Only 13 sacks given up this year.
11:57Johnny Johnson 155 yards last week.
12:00Baxter, Rob Moore and Burkett the wide receivers.
12:03And Johnny Mitchell who is said to be healthy now.
12:06He had a knee sprain and missed a couple of games.
12:08And Esiason wants to get him involved early in this one.
12:12Second and six.
12:17Moore comes in motion to the left side.
12:19They hand it off to Johnny Johnson.
12:21A little bit of a shift and a cutback.
12:23And he moves it up near the 49 yard line.
12:25That's a gain of five.
12:28Charles Haley bothered by back spasms.
12:31We were told had the best week of practice in the last six weeks.
12:34And starts today with Marilyn Casillas and Colbert.
12:37Darren Smith, Ken Norton and Dixon Edwards the linebackers.
12:41And in the secondary Larry Brown, Thomas Everett, Darren Woodson and Kevin Smith.
12:46Third and one.
12:48Third and one.
12:49Cowboys need Charles Haley to be that disruptive force that he was during their great run last year.
12:54That took them all the way to the Super Bowl.
12:56Good news for Cowboy fans that he's healthy.
13:01Third and one.
13:05First down.
13:06It's Brad Baxter with the ball carry.
13:09And Tony Casillas makes the tackle.
13:11Gain of four.
13:14This is what happens with Charles Haley a lot.
13:16This is a running down.
13:17But it's usually on passing plays where he's double teamed.
13:20Criswell and Johnny Mitchell make sure that he is sealed to the outside.
13:24Although Johnny Mitchell had a half-hearted hold on number 94.
13:297.05 to go first quarter of play.
13:32No score. Jets first possession.
13:34And they have a first and ten at the 47 yard line.
13:37Third and one.
13:46Long count by Esaias.
13:47And the play clock down to one.
13:49He hands it off and it goes to Baxter.
13:53Who finds Charles Haley.
13:55And no gain on the play.
13:57Johnson had a huge game last week against the Redskins.
14:00Where he went for 155 yards.
14:02And most of those yards were on cutback runs just like that.
14:06So Haley and the Cowboys studying the tape of that game.
14:09They saw that and at that time.
14:11Two tackles in a row for Charles Haley.
14:14Looking for that cutback run from both Brad Baxter and Johnny Johnson.
14:20Terrence Mathis comes in now as the third wide receiver on second down and ten.
14:25He wears number 81.
14:28Quarterbacks come up and play bump and run.
14:31And Esaias looks across the middle.
14:32Fires it incomplete for Mathis.
14:35And the ball tipped away.
14:37By Darren Smith.
14:39Not only did he tip it away.
14:40He tried to take Terrence Mathis' head off.
14:44Perhaps Smith heard about what Mathis did to the Cowboys three years ago.
14:50With a 98 yard punt return.
14:52Real close to being pass interference.
14:54Real strong pass protection though.
14:56And that's something that Esaias has had.
14:59A lot of this year.
15:00He's gone seven sackless games for that offensive line.
15:03That's outstanding.
15:05Third and ten.
15:06No score.
15:07Six minutes to go.
15:08First quarter.
15:11Bates is threatening the blitz.
15:12He's not coming.
15:13It's a four man rush.
15:14Screen pass.
15:16Johnson.
15:17With Sweeney in front.
15:18And he comes down just short of the first down at the 38.
15:23So now.
15:24Coslett has to make a decision.
15:25That's a gain of nine.
15:27Now the fans have obviously already made their decision.
15:30Yelling go for it.
15:34Coslett has gone for it 16 times this year on fourth down.
15:39Converting on eight of them.
15:40Oh well he's going to try number 17 right now.
15:44Fourth and one.
15:46James Thornton comes in as an extra tight end.
15:58That's Johnson in motion.
15:59Quick pass.
16:00Right side.
16:01They've got Rob Moore in the first down.
16:03And a face mask call.
16:13Kevin Smith.
16:14The defender.
16:15Number 26.
16:24Boy that's the big version of the face mask penalty.
16:2715 yards.
16:28Moore has the first down right now.
16:30And there is the left hand and the tackle.
16:34By Kevin Smith.
16:35How'd you like the play call on fourth and one.
16:37I loved it.
16:38Are you kidding.
16:39Throwing the ball.
16:40Anytime.
16:42Great confidence by Coslett in both his quarterback and his
16:45receiver Rob Moore.
16:47Troy Sadowski comes in now and Johnny Mitchell goes out.
16:50There was Kevin Smith.
16:52Four fifty five to go first quarter.
16:54First and ten.
16:55Jets.
16:56No score.
16:57First quarter of the game.
16:58Rob Moore in motion to the right side.
17:01Baxter.
17:02He's bumped.
17:03Goes to the outside.
17:05And finally is forced out.
17:08At the 12 yard line.
17:14Yards are going to be hard to come by.
17:15But from both teams today.
17:17But that 15 yard penalty against Kevin Smith.
17:20Just really.
17:21Pumped up the Jets.
17:23Watch how Baxter.
17:25Bumps into the left hand.
17:26Baxter.
17:27Bumps into the line here.
17:28Then just kind of slides to the outside.
17:30Looks a lot like Emmitt Smith on this play.
17:34The vision to see it open up to the outside.
17:36And he gets down inside the 20.
17:41Second down.
17:43And four.
17:44No score.
17:45Four twenty to go.
17:46Opening quarter.
17:49Baxter.
17:51For a couple.
17:52To a ten.
17:54Well inside the red zone.
17:55The Jets have really had problems.
17:58In the last month.
18:00A lot of that has been because of injuries to their tight end.
18:03Johnny.
18:04Mitchell who hasn't.
18:05Played very well because of that bad left knee.
18:08But you can see that.
18:09There's a big goose egg there on the touchdowns the last three
18:11games.
18:13That has to be corrected.
18:14And.
18:15Gosling feels it with.
18:16Mitchell being healthy.
18:18That.
18:19That will.
18:20Be part of the answer to the.
18:22Problem.
18:23One catch.
18:24Three drops.
18:25Four penalties.
18:26Last two games for Johnny Mitchell.
18:29It's Johnson going right.
18:31And.
18:32Might have gotten.
18:34As he leans inside the eight near the seven yard line.
18:38Casillas with the tackle.
18:40One of the advantages that Johnson has physically six foot
18:42three two hundred twenty pounds.
18:46And he may have come up just an inch or two short.
18:53The key to good defensive play is right up here in the middle
18:56Tony Casillas is going to get real low.
18:59And fight off the block of Sweeney.
19:02And with help from Maryland.
19:04Comes over and stops Johnson short of the first down.
19:07Second time in the drive the Jets go forward on fourth and
19:10one.
19:11Three tight ends in.
19:13Last time they passed this time they throw.
19:17Baxter is jammed up.
19:18Same two guys Casillas and Russell Maryland.
19:21That's why they're playing.
19:23They've they're undersized guys but they've always been very
19:25very quick.
19:27And that's a trademark of a Jimmy Johnson defense.
19:30Watch Casillas.
19:34He gets the first lick.
19:35Right here.
19:37That takes away Baxter's legs and there's Maryland on the
19:39other side.
19:42Big stop for the Cowboys.
19:44Long drive for the Jets.
19:45Comes up empty.
19:52CBS Sports coverage of the National Football League is

20:01Don't leave home without it.

20:04Something special in the air.
20:06And by the wine sellers of Ernest and Julio Gallo.
20:09Two forty eight remaining first quarter after the fourth down
20:12stand by the Cowboy defense.
20:15Troy Aikman and his partners take over their own ten yard
20:17line scoreless game.
20:19Late first quarter.
20:20Here's Aikman.
20:22Into the right flat and incomplete.
20:24Boy that was in heavy traffic.
20:26Bobby Houston.
20:27Of the Jets was perhaps the closest to it.
20:30And it's the first incomplete pass thrown by Aikman.
20:33He's trying to squeeze it into Novichok.
20:35But as you said Vern there is a bit of a crowd here but.
20:38Troy has such confidence there goes Novichok with a trip he
20:41hits the turf.
20:43That's why it looked like.
20:45It was overthrown but he has such confidence in his own
20:47abilities.
20:49As a quarterback that he will force the ball in and let his
20:52players like Novichok and Irvin make the tough catch.
20:55Second.
20:57And it's Smith.
20:58Run blitz.
20:59Oh they got him.
21:00But Smith.
21:01And that's why he's so valuable.
21:03He could have been.
21:06Caught for a four yard loss instead he makes a one yard
21:08game.
21:10Well and the guy that he makes miss is probably one of the
21:12greatest tacklers.
21:14That's ever played the game.
21:16This is twice now in the first quarter that number forty two
21:18Ronnie Lott.
21:20Has not.
21:21Been able to bring down.
21:23Emmitt Smith.
21:24He told me that the key to.
21:26A.
21:27Stopping Smith is to get his whole body in front of him.
21:30He's been unable to do that twice today.
21:33Third and nine.
21:40Nathan.
21:41Will scramble.
21:43And.
21:44He's caught and dropped at the 19.
21:46That'll be a yard short.
21:48Of the first down.
21:52Well you come to New York as a visiting team.
21:54And you never know what you're going to find.
21:56I can't believe.
21:58A squirrel here.
21:59I haven't seen a tree anywhere near your bird.
22:02There's certainly.
22:03Well maybe there are enough nuts here though for that squirrel
22:05that.
22:06Stole away.
22:07The last name is spelled F O U T S.
22:12Fourth at a yard.
22:13John Jet.
22:15To punt for the forty seventh time.
22:17This year.
22:20That's not a good one.
22:25It's taken by Clifford Hicks and the Jets have.
22:28Terrific field position.
22:30On Jets.
22:31Thirty yard punt returned seven yards by Hicks.
22:45Cowboy defensive coordinator Butch Davis has made a change
22:48Charles Haley gets a rest and Leon let.
22:51Normally a tackle.
22:52Comes into play right defensive end.
22:54So Jeff code stays out as well.
22:56And it's let in Maryland Casillas and Tolbert up front
22:58for the Cowboys.
23:00And the Jets with a first down.
23:02At the Dallas forty two yard line.
23:05No score in the game.
23:06One eighteen to go.
23:07First quarter.
23:08That's Thornton in motion.
23:15And works his way down to the thirty six yard line before
23:17Darren Smith.
23:19Makes the stop.
23:20That's a gain of five.
23:21Johnson who when he was in Phoenix gives me Dan.
23:24Did pick up one hundred and twenty yards against this
23:26Dallas defense the first time he played.
23:28And the Jets primarily are running to the right side
23:30behind.
23:32Mala Mala but also at.
23:34Number fifty eight of the Cowboys Dixon Edwards Johnson
23:36said last night.
23:38That expects.
23:39He expects Edwards to play fifty percent of the time today
23:41with Godfrey Miles.
23:43Miles is a bigger and stronger linebacker.
23:45Final.
23:46Forty seconds.
23:47First quarter.
23:48Second down.
23:49And five.
23:51Dallas.
23:52Maybe.
23:53They are not.
23:55And the handoff goes up the middle.
23:58Johnny Johnson and Edwards.
24:00Dan just mentioned him makes the tackle.
24:04Watch Dixon Edwards working against.
24:07Number sixty nine here Criswell.
24:09And just plays Matador there.
24:11Ole and there's the bull.
24:13With the tackle there.
24:14Nice play by Dixon Edwards.
24:16He knows that he's going to be sharing time today with
24:18Godfrey Miles and he's going to make it a difficult
24:21coaching decision for Jimmy Johnson.
24:25That wipes out the first four Jets Charles Haley.
24:28With three tackles already during the break.
24:31Public address is playing a James Brown song.
24:34Charles Haley is.
24:35Singing along.
24:37I feel good.
24:39Thirty two.
24:41Three wide receiver offense now for the New York Jets
24:44scoreless for Lundquist.
24:45Dan bounce.
24:46On the side of the.
24:48And Boomer Esiason.
24:50Side.
24:51That's good for a first down.
24:53The ball is picked up.
24:55That is a live football.
24:57Recovered by the Cowboys.
24:59Kevin Smith.
25:00Dallas turnover.
25:02And they've got the ball at their own forty four.
25:04Outstanding play by Kevin Smith.
25:06He just ripped the ball away from Rob Moore.
25:09Moore had the first down and Smith went right for the
25:12football.
25:13And took it away from him.
25:15Again on a short yardage situation the Jets throw the
25:17ball.
25:18And they complete it.
25:20But now watch this play by Kevin Smith.
25:22Gets a nice bounce right up into his hands.
25:25And on down the field another big turnover.
25:28This is just a great play.
25:30He comes up he makes the tackle secures that and then.
25:33With his free hand reaches out.
25:35And strips the ball.
25:37Kevin Smith the handoff to Emmitt Smith.
25:39He coughs it up.
25:41Now.
25:42Down by contact says Jerry Austin.
25:45Jets.
25:47Making a claim for the ball.
25:49But Austin says no.
25:51Well.
25:52Emmitt Smith has fumbled twice.
25:54No he's fumbled once.
25:56It's the third Dallas fumble Kevin Williams.
25:58Darryl Johnston.
26:00And Emmitt Smith.
26:02And again it's a defender that's just reaching for the
26:05ball.
26:06He hit the ground so that.
26:09Made it.
26:10No fumble down by contact but nice play up front by Paul
26:13Frey's.
26:14It's the second and eleven.
26:16No score in the game.
26:20But.
26:22It's rid of it Johnston.
26:24And he's hit by Bobby Houston.
26:27Initially Aikman took a pretty good shot.
26:30From Kyle Clifton who was flying up the middle.
26:36Clifton only has one sack on the year comes real close to
26:39picking up his second one but probably more important than
26:42the sack is the hit on the quarterback.
26:44Aikman has not been hit all that much this year it's only
26:47been sacked 17 times.
26:50Sometimes the old knockdown is as effective as a hit.
26:54And the sack.
26:56Third and seven.
27:03Good protection for Aikman this time in a wide open.
27:06Kevin Williams a block from Harper.
27:09And Williams is out of bounds.
27:11At the 20 yard line.
27:15I think your description of wide open is pretty good.
27:18Let's just follow.
27:20Kevin Smith down the middle here.
27:22And there's just nobody covering him.
27:26Since his fourth catch of the day and there wasn't anybody
27:29within five or six yards of.
27:31Kevin Smith goes up 33 yards.
27:33Down to the 20.
27:35Kevin Williams we've got a Williams in the Smith and.
27:37You know we've got a lot of Jones in the Smith.
27:39We've got a lot of.
27:41We've got a lot of.
27:42And it's a first down following a 33 yard game.
27:44Time has been called.
27:46By the New York Jets.
27:49So the Jets want to regroup.
27:51Big game.
27:53Biggest play thus far in the thus far scoreless first half.
27:5813 0 6 remaining first half scoreless thus far Dallas
28:01threatening one of the puzzles thus far this year.
28:03The lack of production for tight ends.
28:05And.
28:07And.
28:09And.
28:10In this year.
28:12The lack of production for tight end J Novachek .
28:14Thirty five catches coming in.
28:16Sixty eight in 1992.
28:18The key to that is Alfredo Roberts was hurt earlier in the
28:21year and he was the guy that.
28:23Was the normal tight end.
28:25Had to play that position and not the move.
28:27Music.
28:30Goes in the.
28:32For only the fourth time this year.
28:34Eric Thomas with his first interception.
28:36It's.
28:38Come in a bigger.
28:40This is twice now that the
28:41Cowboys have threatened inside
28:43the red area and twice the jet
28:46defense has turned him away.
28:48That was just as a poor throw
28:50and a poor decision by Aikman
28:52trying to hit Michael Irvin on
28:54the post route.
28:56But Thomas is playing very deep
28:58reads the poor throw cuts in
29:00front of Irvin and makes an easy
29:02pitch.
29:03Troy would like to have this one
29:04back.
29:05Never really got his weight
29:06shifted forward and the ball
29:08just kind of floated on him a 20
29:11yard return on the Thomas
29:13interception first down Jeff at
29:15twenty two we are still scoreless
29:18and on Johnson's trail by
29:22Maryland who makes the second
29:24hit after Dixon and the
29:25Edwards got their first number
29:2858 and we've had some turnovers
29:36so far the Cowboys fell short on
29:40a fourth and one they fumble the
29:42ball the Jets were stopped on a
29:46fourth and one that was one of
29:47the amazing things is you can
29:48see the difference in the
29:50they've had to win the battle on
29:51fourth down today twelve twenty
29:53two to go first half no score
29:55second and ten as his man
30:02covered in the flat now he goes
30:04deep left side and it's
30:06incomplete.
30:07I think it was Tony Tolbert who
30:09did a terrific defensive job
30:10that forced the science and deep
30:12what Tolbert did is he covered
30:14Brad Baxter out of the back
30:16field.
30:16So that caused a size and to go
30:20down the field and there's
30:22Thomas Evert with the big play
30:24hitting all the way up the
30:25field and he's going to get
30:26another pitch.
30:27He's got a good swing.
30:27He's got a good swing.
30:27He's got a good swing.
30:30And he's got a good swing.
30:30that caused a size and to go
30:33down the field and there's
30:34Thomas Everett with the big play
30:37hitting the receiver in the back
30:39but you know there's always
30:40somebody open Vern you come back
30:42to the huddle and the guys are
30:43saying hey I was wide open I was
30:45wide open with John Mitchell
30:47doesn't realize is that the
30:48quarterback was running for his
30:49life they never do and he should
30:52have been running towards the
30:53quarterback Baxter across the
31:00middle of the day with the
31:01tackle I think the Cowboys do so
31:04well burnish they allow the
31:07opponent to the offense to catch
31:09those short passes and then
31:10players like Bates and Woodson
31:12and Thomas Everett come up and
31:13really lay it to them now Louis
31:16Aguiar who had a horrid week in
31:19Washington a week ago with six
31:22runs for a thirty point five
31:23average and Kevin Williams is
31:26back to return it and he's out
31:41of bounds at the forty one yard
31:43line Brian Washington with the
31:46tackle a twenty one yard punt
31:49and a run for Kevin Williams
31:52Johnny Jimmy Johnson told us
31:55yesterday Vern that he's very
31:57excited about the prospects of
32:00Kevin Williams being a big star
32:02today was a busy day it could
32:04have been Johnny Johnson Kyle
32:08Clifton injured when he was
32:09downfield trying to cover the
32:11punt does walk off without
32:14assistance and Steve D.
32:15Aussie the former cowboy and
32:18giant who was shaken up on the
32:20first play of the game is in at
32:21middle linebacker this is the
32:24Aussie's first play from
32:25scrimmage in a jet uniform and
32:27here's Emmitt Smith the Aussie
32:29is happy as he has participated
32:31only on special teams thus far
32:34until that play a game of three
32:36and when you're replacing Kyle
32:38Clifton you're replacing a guy
32:39that makes a lot of tackles
32:41hundred and four so far this
32:43year like every year he's over
32:45three hundred and he has over
32:46thirteen hundred on his career
32:49that's a lot of hit all the
32:51times he missed the tackles and
32:52how many guys have been blocking
32:53him J.
32:56Novacek has moved out wide to
32:57the right side now on the second
33:00down play Williams in motion
33:03eight men with time right side
33:05behind Johnston and Dan they
33:08talked a lot about Novacek lack
33:10of productivity this year but in
33:13fact Darryl Johnston has caught
33:14up to him and he's had so many
33:15more passes than in an ordinary
33:17year for him and what happened
33:18that time is that Darryl
33:20Johnston lined up at the tight
33:22end position and he was open I
33:25mean if you're going to let a
33:26guy go open you're going to let
33:28the fullback instead of
33:30Novacek that's why Novacek is
33:33not got a lot of catches this
33:35year because Darryl Johnston is
33:37picked up the slack he has 44
33:38on the year third and seven
33:40Cowboys a three of five on third
33:43no score 10 42 to go for his
33:45quarter eight wide open left
33:47side Kevin Williams who has been
33:49the offensive force for Dallas
33:52and it's interesting because one
33:54got a sense in talking with Troy
33:55Aikman last night he wasn't all
33:58that positive that Kevin
33:59Williams is going to play a big
34:00role today he's just a little
34:01worried about his size he's only
34:03five nine but this is the same
34:04play they ran earlier in the
34:05game where Irvin will come down
34:07to the inside that time it was
34:09Alvin Harper as a wide receiver
34:11and Williams gets down the
34:12sidelines another key first down
34:14for Dallas that's a gain of 13
34:17and the fifth catch already for
34:19Kevin Williams he had only 12
34:21coming in to the ballgame first
34:24and 10 Dallas no score quick set
34:26and a little quick flip goes to
34:28J. Novacek who had lined up wide
34:30to the left how much does that
34:32wrinkle bother Pete Carroll in
34:33the Jeff what it causes is it
34:35causes a mismatch in favor of
34:37the Cowboys what you have is a
34:39player like Novacek who has the
34:41skills of a wide receiver out
34:43wide against a strong safety and
34:44Ronnie lot and this has not been
34:47the strongest part of Ronnie
34:48Lott's game man to man coverage
34:50nor Turner the offensive
34:52coordinator for the Cowboys
34:55pulling out all the stops but
34:56looking for that mismatch second
34:58down to win a scoreless first
35:00half Emmitt Smith no play action
35:02and it was terrific here's
35:04Novacek breaks the tackle of
35:06Lott and it's first and goal
35:08Dallas there's a fumble.
35:12And the Jets have it the Dallas
35:26Cowboys had fumbled only 25
35:29times coming into this ballgame
35:30they have fumbled four times in
35:32the first half.
35:33Now this is going to be Ronnie
35:34Lott making another future Hall
35:36of Famer type of play.
35:38He gets fooled at first by
35:40Novacek doesn't quit waits for
35:43his teammates to come over and
35:44Lott picks up the loose ball
35:46again the Jets turn the Cowboys
35:48away to play Jets first down and
35:55a handoff up the middle to Johnny
35:58Johnson out near the 13 yard line
36:00after the second turnover in the
36:04first half that's a gain of seven
36:05for Johnson and Brian Washington
36:09no Lewis forced that last
36:10fumble for fumbles first one
36:15they've lost they've also had a
36:17pass picked off at the two yard
36:20line so they've turned it over
36:21at the two and at the eight now
36:23that's very uncharacteristic for
36:24the Cowboy offense came into the
36:26game with a plus six turnover
36:27ratio killing themselves though
36:30with it today heavy hand on the
36:32self-destruct Johnson out near
36:36the 15 yard line that's short of
36:37a touchdown Leon let makes the
36:41tackle number 78 report from the
36:43jet bench on Kyle Clifton a
36:46twisted knee but he may be back
36:49see Leon let make that tackle
36:51he's in the game for Charles
36:52Haley because he gives the
36:55Cowboys a little more bulk up
36:57front goes about two hundred and
36:59eighty five pounds thirty five
37:01or so more than Haley but
37:03Johnson and Butch Davis a
37:05defensive coordinator concerned
37:06with the Cowboys last couple of
37:08games of the season being bigger
37:10up front that's why Miles will
37:12play more today as well play
37:14action the size and who's a
37:15master at it but good downfield
37:18coverage and Boomer squirts for
37:21the first down out to the 19
37:22yard line excellent down field
37:25work by the Cowboys forced to
37:27size and into the run but again
37:29on a third down situation the
37:31Jets are going to go with the
37:32forward pass at least try to get
37:35the size in the heads up here
37:37avoids the sack of Casillas
37:39right there and then has to go
37:40head first to pick up the first
37:42down Blair Thomas checks in now
37:49to the backfield here Steve
37:50D'Alessio and Pete Carroll look
37:54like they're going over signals
37:55there.
37:55The Aussie has to give these
37:57defensive signals and on pitch
37:59back three flicker they go deep
38:01for more he's not open and
38:03instead they settle for
38:04a catch and he's got the ball at
38:06the thirty five size and look
38:08downfield at more but the
38:10Cowboys had double coverage on
38:12him and they pick up 17 on the
38:15past to eighty seven.
38:16This is a real veteran play by
38:18a size and because he realizes
38:20that if he throws it down the
38:21field he might risk the
38:22interception.
38:23He comes off the deep route to
38:25Burkett and Burkett makes an
38:27outstanding catch reaching out
38:28in traffic.
38:30Watch the big hands of Chris
38:32Burkett here track that one down
38:34and give the Jets another first
38:36down Rob Carpenter and Terrence
38:38Mathis are in at wide receivers
38:40now for the Jets on first down
38:45snaps it back they hand it off
38:46to Blair Thomas who you think
38:49back to 1990 Blair Thomas number
38:52one draft choice of the Jets 15
38:54picks later Emmitt Smith of the
38:56Cowboys and how their careers
38:58have gone in opposite directions
38:59and a small smattering of booze
39:02here for Blair Thomas a little
39:04bit unfair but that's what you
39:08get for playing here in the Big
39:09Apple second down and five
39:12scoreless game 6 0 9 to go first
39:14half play only the sixth time
39:16these two teams have played each
39:18other.
39:21Dallas has won four the previous
39:23five.
39:27This is coming as I as an
39:29opportunity for the Jets to
39:30change it audibles the play and
39:32then close it in complete
39:33mathematics.
39:36Jets do a lot of check with me
39:38calls in the huddle and the
39:40reason they do that size and
39:43will come to line scrimmage and
39:45change the play to get out of a
39:46bad play obviously but he also
39:48might change the direction of a
39:50running play based upon the
39:51strength of the defense but
39:53oftentimes he'll change the type
39:55of pass protection that time he
39:56read the Blitz got out of a bad
39:58play.
39:59So he's got a little bit of a
40:00lead.
40:00He's got a little bit of a
40:01lead.
40:02Thirty five Jets two or five on
40:06third down conversions thus far
40:09they've not controlled the ball
40:10on offense like they wanted
40:14Siason Johnny Johnson who had 51
40:20catches coming in drops a big
40:23one.
40:24Woodson was defending I think
40:25Woodson had a lot to do with
40:27that.
40:27He got a little finger on it.
40:29Certainly disappointed the
40:30quarterback Jets have been very
40:32good this year and third down
40:34conversion situations but I
40:37believe that Woodson got his
40:38left hand on that ball knocked
40:39it away from Johnny Johnson
40:41Aguiar is on the punt again.
40:43Kevin Williams waits at the 15
40:45by 50 to go first half that's a
40:49better fair catch called by
40:51Williams makes the grab at the
40:5315 we have 542 to go double
41:02header for you tomorrow on CBS
41:03in the first game most of you
41:04will see Minnesota against Green
41:07Bay an important NFC Central
41:08Division battle and then in the
41:10second game most of you will
41:11watch the forty niners move into
41:14the Silverdome to take on the
41:15Detroit Lions it all begins with
41:16the NFL today tomorrow at 1230
41:20Eastern Time here on CBS
41:22Cowboys Emmett Smith with only
41:2413 yards on six carries thus
41:26far as the only offensive factor
41:29for the Dallas Cowboys have been
41:31has been Kevin Williams.
41:34Costa told us yesterday that he
41:35wants to contain not necessarily
41:38stop him at Smith but keep him
41:40from breaking that long run.
41:41He seems to always get late in
41:43the ballgame.
41:44Alvin Harper is in the lineup
41:46now for Dallas but wide left
41:48play fake they can back right
41:50side all the way and Michael
41:52Irvin makes the grab and then
41:53he's forced out of bounds with
41:55the first down at the 34 yard
41:57line.
41:57Irvin really struggled to get
41:59out of his break to did a great
42:01job of staying on his feet
42:03knowing that that pill was
42:04coming his way.
42:11Michael Irvin in the first six
42:13games with forty six catches the
42:15last seven eighteen fewer than
42:17that who grew up in Dallas made
42:31the tackle earlier today the
42:36Broncos went into Soldier Field
42:38and beat up the Chicago Bears 13
42:42to three five their turnovers in
42:44that ballgame.
42:46We've had two Dallas turnovers
42:47in this game one at the Jet 2 1
42:50at the Jet 6.
42:51We have no score at second and
42:527 Bobby Houston number 55 loss
43:10of eight Kevin Williams has
43:14about six or seven carries so
43:16far on the year from this
43:18reverse type of situation.
43:20The fake is to Emmitt Smith but
43:22there from the left side of the
43:23screen defeating the block of
43:25big Nate Newton is number 55.
43:27Houston another big play by the
43:30Jet defense third down 15 with
43:34four or nine to go first down
43:40three man rush.
43:42Aiken pumps goes short to
43:43Novichok he breaks one tackle
43:47and gets to the forty one but
43:48it'll be fourth down there.
43:50That's a game of twelve and he
43:52needed 15 Aikman is trying to go
43:56deep to Michael Irvin you're
43:57going to watch him pump the ball
43:59here but the Jets heads up on
44:01defense playing real loose.
44:03They take it away and force
44:05number eight to come to his
44:06outlet receiver Novichok who
44:08comes up about two yards shy of
44:10the first down good defense
44:13again by this New York Jets
44:14team Jets will get it back with
44:16about three to go in the half
44:18and they had used one of their
44:19timeouts last time Dallas was
44:21held scored us in the first
44:22half by the way they lost to
44:25Atlanta back in early November
44:28fair catch taken at the 20 39
44:34yard punt by John Jett Jets get
44:37it back 315 remaining in the
44:39first half Bruce Coslett's Jets
44:41have the ball first down at the
44:4320 yard line and they've got
44:45some obstacles to overcome here
44:47at the end of the year three of
44:48the best teams in football not
44:49only the Cowboys but Buffalo and
44:51Houston great time of year
44:53Buffalo gets Miami this weekend
44:55and Houston gets Pittsburgh all
44:57those games will have a lot of
44:59meaning as to who represents the
45:00AFC two timeouts remaining
45:03Messiah's and six at bat
45:05Houston's got a chance to win
45:07two timeouts remaining Messiah
45:09and six at 10 so far in the ball
45:11game if he goes upstairs on
45:13first down more after the 31
45:19that's a quick gain of 11 and a
45:21jet first down make it a gain of
45:2312 size in and his bodyguards
45:28Boomer and his bodyguards up
45:30front the guys with making
45:32posters and commercials now that
45:34offensive line another good
45:36job at just keeping the Cowboys
45:38away from that pocket look at
45:40the throwing lane that a size
45:42that has to find Rob Moore
45:44Adrian Morrell checks into the
45:45background at the backfield on
45:47first down size and right side
45:53that's a moderate gain after the
45:5434 yard line Rob Moore tackled
45:57by Ken Norton now here's
46:01Boomer's bodyguards he started
46:02something a lot of quarterbacks
46:04have done they he goes out for
46:05dinner or to play cards with his
46:07offensive line every Thursday
46:09night yeah these guys kind of
46:12appreciate it but you've got to
46:14wonder why Boomer's got the
46:15tux on and the bodyguards here
46:17looking like a bunch of thugs
46:18because he's a QB and he makes
46:21the big bucks Boomer the
46:22promoter and his bodyguards
46:30Adrian Morrell carried all that
46:33often this year that's his
46:35thirty first carry ninety three
46:38ball phrase getting some medical
46:42attention on the sideline the
46:44nut the squirrel was looking for
46:47that guy's in route to Christmas
46:48Vespers after the ballgame is
46:49over only in New York services at
46:51seven thirty meanwhile he's got
46:57Johnson's got a chance to say
46:58what is this I can't hear you I
47:01got a jet in my ear who he's
47:03talking to third down and five
47:10one fifty six to go before
47:12halftime into the flat backs
47:14they're wide open.
47:15Brock Merriam comes over and
47:17makes the tackle but the Jets
47:19have a first down and they stop
47:21the clock after the game of 15.
47:23One thing the Cowboys do on
47:25defense is they play a lot of
47:26the four across deep defense.
47:30Each of the defensive backs is
47:32responsible for a quarter of the
47:33field and they're playing it
47:35very very loose right now.
47:37That's allowing the Jets to hit
47:39those flat patterns.
47:40That was a huge gain and a
47:42critical part of the game here
47:43in the last two minutes of the
47:44first half.
47:46Jets again have two timeouts left
47:48one fifty to go before half
47:49time.
47:52Tyson right side has sailed on
47:56and intended for Baxter
47:57dangerously so.
47:58Yeah I try and hit that flat
47:59pattern again to Baxter this
48:01time the Cowboys and Butch Davis
48:03their coordinator change things
48:05up and he sends Darren Woodson
48:07at Baxter and that ball was
48:09almost picked off.
48:11And if he had you could say he
48:13would have scored possible not
48:18impossible.
48:19Nine of 14 for his size and for
48:21seventy four yards.
48:23We're trying to get a touchdown
48:26pass for the first time in a
48:29length of time and has now
48:30scored in the last 18 quarters
48:32and got a play action again.
48:34Tyson wants a bunch goes deep
48:37and he's got a man open but it's
48:39tipped away by Larry Brown Rob
48:42Moore and Larry Brown and a
48:44wonderful defensive play by the
48:46Cowboys cornerback.
48:47And the one thing Boomer said
48:48about this secondary is that
48:49they're all run the 40 and about
48:51four three speed but it's the
48:53patience of Brown right here
48:55going up with the receiver and
48:57the ball away avoiding any bit
49:00of contact.
49:01Well he did have that left hand
49:03firmly secured on Moore's
49:04shoulder but the timing was
49:07perfect and got away with it.
49:10I got a buddy named Dave
49:11Appleton who won the World
49:13Rodeo Championship with rides
49:15like that.
49:15He was almost on for eight
49:16seconds to third down Kevin
49:27Smith covering Johnny Mitchell
49:29who still hasn't got a pass and
49:32it'll be fourth down.
49:34So a really terrific opportunity
49:39for the Jets comes up empty and
49:42the third punt for Louis Aguiar
49:43Dallas by the way with three
49:45timeouts left and a lot of time
49:48minute and a half when they get
49:49the ball back that's a poor
50:00front by Aguiar but it's going
50:02to bounce and it does take a
50:04cowboy roll back to the 22 yard
50:06line 27 yard punt and nothing on
50:17the return and Dallas gets it
50:19tomorrow on the NFL today.
50:21Mr. Bradshaw invents his own
50:22Supreme Ball carrier robo
50:25running back and Greg Gumbel
50:27talks with a man who set the
50:28standard is the real life robo
50:30linebacker Lawrence Taylor.
50:32That was all the latest NFL news
50:35shook me up.
50:36I got emotional about that.
50:37You know I was wondering when
50:38they were going to use that
50:38robot about time.
50:42Carved that robot out of the
50:44likeness of Terry Bradshaw.
50:45I don't think that guy has stopped
50:47moving.
50:48I don't think that guy has
50:49stopped moving either is Bradshaw
50:53first and 10 Dallas no score in
50:56the game and it's Smith after
51:00the 28 yard line.
51:03That's a game of six 110 to go
51:12before the halftime break.
51:15Aikman hand off Emmitt Smith
51:17and that leaves them with two
51:22again it was Atlanta the
51:24Falcons the Cowboys of course
51:25lost their first two when that
51:26man Emmitt Smith had not signed
51:29a contract they came back to win
51:31seven in a row and they went to
51:33Atlanta and lost came home and
51:34lost that bizarre game to Miami.
51:37They've won their last two but
51:38they are tied here at zip zip
51:42this last play was a pretty good
51:43play.
51:44It was a pretty good battle
51:45right in the middle here between
51:45Frank Cornish and Kyle Clifton
51:49to draw play to Emmitt Smith and
51:51Cornish does a nice job of
51:52walling him lifted off to the
51:54inside.
51:55But there's number 42 getting
51:57his entire body in front of
51:59Emmitt Smith that time something
52:00he wasn't able to do earlier in
52:02the game.
52:03He's one of the all time great
52:04players here though.
52:05Ronnie lot he's got that
52:08Hannibal the cannibal facemask
52:10though to me.
52:10He's got no hair anymore.
52:12He was sporting a new haircut as
52:14of yesterday.
52:14A new no do that Michael Jordan
52:17look happening that happened on
52:21Wednesday.
52:22He's not gone bald on his first
52:25down and 10 1 0 2 to go before
52:28half time.
52:29Jets about game to Dallas.
52:41Three man rush and the pass to
52:43Harper at the 41 yard line 54
52:48seconds in the clock running 21
52:50on that play.
52:52That was a big one too because
52:53that got the Cowboys on the jet
52:54side of the field.
52:59Eddie Murray hit two field goals
53:01of over 50 last week.
53:03Down deep.
53:06Touchdown Dallas Michael Irvin
53:10and the Cowboys win the game.
53:25I look like the old alley you
53:26play where you send the receiver
53:28down the field and have him out
53:29jump the defensive back.
53:31Eric Thomas who picked off
53:33Aikman earlier in the game was
53:36beat by Michael Irvin that time
53:38and then it looked like the
53:39left hand fumbles the ball when
53:41he hits the ground six foot two
53:43Irvin's going to go over the 5
53:4511 Thomas great catch there's a
53:48stretch touchdown Murray's extra
53:51point instead of a field goal
53:54and one instead of three R.C.
53:59Owens used to do this for the
54:00forty niners with Y.A. Tittle
54:02and John Brody but nobody could
54:06have done it any better.
54:07The effort at the end of the
54:08game after he realized that he
54:09has the catch is what sets
54:11Michael Irvin apart from the
54:14rest of the receivers in this
54:15league except perhaps Jerry
54:17Rice can't cover cover him any
54:22closer than Eric Thomas had him
54:24covered but that's a case of a
54:28quarterback allowing his
54:30teammates to make big plays
54:31something that a lot of
54:33quarterbacks don't do anymore or
54:35are not instructed to do anymore
54:37and that's what you see in the
54:38NFL with the Cowboys are one of
54:40the few teams that are willing
54:42to throw the ball deep back to
54:44back plays first Aikman hits
54:46Harper Harper for twenty one
54:49yards and then it's the
54:50touchdown pass to Michael Irvin
54:51that gets him the lead here at
54:53the end of the first half.
54:54Eric Thomas trying to defend
55:08seven zip Murray kicks it off.
55:27This crowd Dan has been stunned
55:29by that sudden touchdown.
55:32That's what big plays will do to
55:33you.
55:34Had a problem with no shows here
55:36but not today.
55:38Thirty one thousand last time
55:41the Jets played at home.
55:42Greg and Terry coming up with
55:43sports news and highlights and
55:46will feature Chris Spielman at
55:48halftime.
55:49Some sports news over heard that
55:54what that would be kind of a
55:57dull day around here.
55:59Thirty seconds to go before
56:00halftime.
56:01The Cowboys lead it seven to
56:03seven nothing quirks in the
56:07schedule the Cowboys come back
56:09here to end the season against
56:10the Giants in two weeks.
56:12And here's Johnny Johnson
56:14double teamed and down at the 30
56:16yard line.
56:17Jets have two timeouts remaining
56:19but they're not in any hurry to
56:21use them.
56:23Consulate content to go in at
56:26half down by seven.
56:30That won't make these fans
56:31happy.
56:32Now to go in at halftime with
56:34two timeouts in your back
56:35pocket.
56:36Interesting success Emmitt Smith
56:39has been held in check as it has
56:41Johnny Johnson got to give the
56:42credit to the defensive side of
56:43the ball.
56:44We chatted yesterday with a
56:46number of the Jets defenders
56:47about the problems they would
56:49face in confronting Emmitt Smith
56:51and he's a very dangerous
56:52running back and we just can't
56:53let him get out.
56:54We can't let him put him in
56:55situations one on one on our
56:56defensive back because most of
56:57the time he's going to be
56:58A lot of times you see guys
57:00running diving and lunging and
57:02falling off the guy and I think
57:04the key to to bringing down the
57:05back of his caliber is to break
57:06down and make sure tackles.
57:08We played him in 1990 and we
57:12knew back then that he was a
57:13good football player.
57:13We didn't think he was going to
57:14be as good as he is now.
57:16I don't think there's a running
57:17back in the league that has
57:18better balance and breaks more
57:20tackles than Emmitt Smith.
57:23That ninth inning was a
57:24difficult one for him.
57:25He was in a good position to
57:27That 1990 game was a victory for
57:30the New York Jets.
57:31They won it here.
57:33Last time the two teams played
57:34the series goes back to 1971.
57:37The Cowboys won the first
57:38meeting 52 to 10 in Dallas.
57:43They played here in 75.
57:44The Cowboys won that one and the
57:46other two games and leave the
57:47series for the world.
57:53Morell at the one yard line as a
57:55as the Jets get the ball to
57:57begin the second half and run.
57:58Marion is the first man down.
58:00He makes the tackle.
58:03Well statistically let's see how
58:04it broke down at the end of the
58:06first 30 minutes of play.
58:07It's pretty remarkable that when
58:09do you ever see this exactly the
58:11same amount of time of
58:12possession.
58:14He has been the turnovers but
58:15also those two plays by Aikman
58:18to Harper for 21 yards and then
58:20the 42 yarder to Irving.
