00:00:00I'm going to start fast on three
00:00:02baby start fast on three one two
00:00:04three stop that that whole
00:00:08offensive line possibly could be
00:00:11in the Pro Bowl for the NFC.
00:00:13They're that good.
00:00:15The 49ers will have first crack
00:00:17at it however as Dexter Carter
00:00:19just signed last week a former
00:00:2049er gets the kick off of the
00:00:23Dallas team does its job on
00:00:25coverage.
00:00:27Charlie Williams is the first
00:00:29Charlie Williams down to make
00:00:31the stop Elvis Gerbach opens at
00:00:36quarterback behind this somewhat
00:00:39makeshift offensive line
00:00:40Scrafford Sopolo Oates Rod
00:00:43Milstead and Harris Barton Steve
00:00:46Wallace will not play Derek
00:00:48Lovell Adam Walker with a broken
00:00:50thumb will open at fullback
00:00:52Taylor Rice and Brent Jones the
00:00:54receivers Elvis Gerbach six
00:00:57five hundred twenty pounds this
00:01:00is Derek Lovell the 49ers sweep
00:01:03gets five Marriott up to make
00:01:08this stop Deon Sanders lines up
00:01:14on Jerry Rice in the first plate
00:01:16bat and one thing about Deon
00:01:17Sanders he is physical on the
00:01:19line of scrimmage and I'll tell
00:01:21you another thing about Jerry
00:01:22Rice obviously he is also
00:01:24physical and he is an excellent
00:01:26blocker and you have to remember
00:01:28just on that play that play was
00:01:29going away from those two guys
00:01:32wait till they come at him now
00:01:34we'll be talking to tight ends
00:01:37for the 40s down the 49ers now
00:01:38second and seven wide open is
00:01:45Jerry Rice and off to the races
00:01:47is Jerry Rice Rice touchdown from
00:01:51Deon Sanders 81 yards that was
00:02:10the thing we say you have to get
00:02:11the ball to Jerry Rice but Jerry
00:02:15Rice is still the best wide
00:02:17receiver that ever played in
00:02:19and the 49ers are going to
00:02:20deserve what they were going to
00:02:21do in this team down and that
00:02:22team's down.
00:02:23There's one player that came up
00:02:25on this field fired up today.
00:02:27It was Jerry Rice and you always
00:02:28talk about when you talk about
00:02:30rice the length of the run after
00:02:32the catch has an eight yard pass
00:02:36and a run after the catch of 73
00:02:38yards.
00:02:39Jeff Wilkins newly signed this
00:02:41week for the extra point and
00:02:42let's look at that touchdown
00:02:44again.
00:02:45Well he's going to start off
00:02:46he's here in the slot now.
00:02:47He's going to run and he's not
00:02:49on him.
00:02:49This is a form of zone.
00:02:51Now anytime Jerry Rice catches a
00:02:53ball he wants to catch it on the
00:02:55run.
00:02:55And the next thing he does is
00:02:57run straight up the field.
00:02:58He doesn't go sideways.
00:03:00He doesn't look at the
00:03:00sidelines.
00:03:01He doesn't do anything.
00:03:02He runs right towards an at the
00:03:04end zone.
00:03:08Look at Charles Haley here
00:03:09coming on this rush.
00:03:10He starts on an inside rush.
00:03:12He got the Elvis go back just as
00:03:14he got that ball to Jerry Rice.
00:03:16And he's got a run on that
00:03:17eight yard pass.
00:03:18He would not have thrown it.
00:03:19And again this was his own
00:03:21defense.
00:03:22Well you see as you see Darren
00:03:23Smith the linebacker was the
00:03:24first guy that is supposed to
00:03:26reroute him you know and get him
00:03:28going in a different direction.
00:03:30But once Jerry Rice got inside
00:03:32of Darren Smith Elvis Kerr back
00:03:34hit him like you said about eight
00:03:36yards and he just took off right
00:03:38up through his own defense.
00:03:40If you're pursuing Jerry Rice
00:03:42you better make sure you have
00:03:43the right angle.
00:03:44I've never seen anyone catch this
00:03:46guy in the league.
00:03:47In fact they're always talking
00:03:47about the speed of Jerry Rice
00:03:49but I've never seen anyone catch
00:03:51him from behind.
00:03:52I haven't either.
00:03:53I saw him lose the ball a couple
00:03:54of times.
00:04:00They all come out for this one.
00:04:02Don't they.
00:04:06So when someone scores a touchdown
00:04:07you're liable to see anyone down
00:04:09there.
00:04:11So the 49ers will kick it off.
00:04:13They've got the Wilkins to kick
00:04:15off.
00:04:16Jeff Wilkins Sanders and Brock
00:04:18Marion are deep Kevin Williams
00:04:25feels it gets to about the 26
00:04:29before he's taken down by Chris
00:04:31Thomas and let's look at the
00:04:33Cowboy offense there behind seven
00:04:36nothing led by Troy Aikman that
00:04:39huge veteran good offensive line
00:04:42two in a Newton Donaldson Allen
00:04:44and William Emmett Smith will be
00:04:47deep Darrell Johnston the
00:04:49blocker Kevin Williams Michael
00:04:50Irvin and J Nova Jack weapons
00:04:53everywhere they're going to need
00:04:54him Jerry Rice could light up a
00:04:57place.
00:04:58Everyone kind of sitting here
00:04:59wondering what was going to have
00:05:00waiting for the Cowboys to get
00:05:01a lot of food.
00:05:03He's just lit up this place.
00:05:05Why did it down in a hurry.
00:05:08Aikman is going to throw a
00:05:09ball in the air and he's got to
00:05:11get rid of it.
00:05:12He's got to get rid of it.
00:05:14Blitz off the corner by Marcus
00:05:17Pope.
00:05:18He was in Aikman's face quickly
00:05:21after knock Troy Aikman down and
00:05:23they wanted to do it on the
00:05:24first play.
00:05:25Here is the 49er defense Jackson
00:05:27stubble field Brian Young and
00:05:29tennis brown the front for
00:05:30Plummer Norton and would all
00:05:32three fine linebackers Marcus
00:05:35Pope who just splits Merton
00:05:36Hanks and Tim McDonald the
00:05:38third base hitter here's we see
00:05:42Marcus Pope is number twenty
00:05:44three lined up like he's going
00:05:45to cover as a corner and just
00:05:47blitzes from that position but
00:05:50let's try to know that they're
00:05:52going to come from every
00:05:53position today.
00:05:54Second and 10 Hanks picked it
00:06:04up Hanks headed for the end
00:06:05and the count was down to
00:06:07San Francisco.
00:06:09Boy you said in the beginning
00:06:10they have to get some turnovers
00:06:12and they have struck in a hurry.
00:06:14It's exactly what happened last
00:06:16year.
00:06:17We talked about last year the
00:06:18Cowboys had five turnovers and
00:06:21those five turnovers turned into
00:06:23twenty one points for the
00:06:24forty niners.
00:06:26I think Barry Switzer is in
00:06:28shock.
00:06:28I think this whole crowd is in
00:06:29shock.
00:06:30Should be 36 yard return by
00:06:33Merton Hanks.
00:06:34He's a Michael Irvin catches a
00:06:36ball on Marquez Pope Marquez
00:06:38Pope knocked that ball out of
00:06:39there and it was a fumble.
00:06:41Merton Hanks was right there to
00:06:42pick it up and run it in.
00:06:48One thing the 49ers were going
00:06:50to do is they wanted to hit or
00:06:52be near or knock Troy Aikman
00:06:54down on every pass.
00:06:57Wilkins extra point is good and
00:06:59it's 14 nothing with 13 36 left
00:07:02to play in the first quarter.
00:07:04That's a reason you play him who
00:07:05would have thought this Dallas
00:07:12trainers taking a look at Troy
00:07:14Aikman's left leg.
00:07:16He was hit hard.
00:07:17Remember on that blitz by Pope
00:07:30he's looking at that knee right
00:07:31there he's pointing to a
00:07:33position there.
00:07:39He was hit on a blitz by Marcus
00:07:42Pope on the first play had to
00:07:45dump the ball off and then the
00:07:46second one was complete to
00:07:48Michael Irvin who fumbled and
00:07:50Merton Hanks who lives in Dallas
00:07:52from Dallas played high school
00:07:53football in Dallas returned it
00:07:57for the touchdown from 36 yards
00:07:59away.
00:07:59Is it loose you know and this is
00:08:05just this is just how the
00:08:06championship game started
00:08:08exactly.
00:08:09The Troy Aikman threw an
00:08:11interception that was to Eric
00:08:13Davis he scored a touchdown
00:08:14again we talked about how they
00:08:16had five turnovers in that game
00:08:1849ers got way out in front of
00:08:20him early in the game and the
00:08:22Cowboys had to fight back the
00:08:23entire game.
00:08:24Darn near came way back to win
00:08:26the game.
00:08:27The only thing left to do is to
00:08:29kick it off.
00:08:40Kevin Williams at the two will
00:08:43return it.
00:08:44He is dragged down at about the
00:08:4516 by Steve Israel.
00:08:53Like to welcome those of you
00:08:55Detroit Carolina St. Louis to
00:08:58Texas Stadium where that score
00:09:00is correct.
00:09:01San Francisco 14 Dallas nothing
00:09:04and that time is correct to
00:09:06thirteen twenty eight left in
00:09:07the first quarter and they did
00:09:10check Troy Aikman out he came
00:09:12out they checked his knee out
00:09:14and then they then they put
00:09:15everything back together and
00:09:17he's in there now first in 10
00:09:22from the 17 Emmett Smith this
00:09:23time he had nothing maybe a
00:09:28yard Ricky Jackson to make the
00:09:30stop Rice 81 yards from
00:09:38Gerbach on an eight yard pass
00:09:41that writes Rice took 73
00:09:45Aikman complete pass to Michael
00:09:47Irvin he fumbled and Merton
00:09:50Hanks picked it up and went in
00:09:52thirty six yards away second
00:09:54and eight here now is Emmett
00:09:55Smith got to Tim McDonald with
00:10:06him quickly took him down.
00:10:09You know one of the things the
00:10:10last two games that they played
00:10:12the Emmett Smith didn't have
00:10:14over 100 yards in either one of
00:10:16them and I think part of the
00:10:17secret to keeping Emmett Smith
00:10:19down is getting ahead you know
00:10:21getting ahead of him and making
00:10:22the Cowboys feel like they have
00:10:24to throw all the time third and
00:10:27four third down conversions
00:10:33forty five percent the fifth
00:10:35best in the NFL 14 nothing San
00:10:38Francisco leads Dallas
00:10:46intercepted by Norton Ricky
00:10:48Jackson and the 49ers are going
00:10:58to win so far in this first
00:11:00quarter they've done everything
00:11:01that they have to.
00:11:02These are the kinds of things
00:11:03they had to do.
00:11:05They cause a fumble they run it
00:11:08in Gerbach gets the ball to Jerry
00:11:10Rice and now we just see Ricky
00:11:12Jackson come up with an
00:11:13interception Ricky Jackson of
00:11:16course was a linebacker for most
00:11:18of his career and he's got a
00:11:20lot of experience and he runs it
00:11:21in so he's familiar with this
00:11:24kind of thing but you're going
00:11:25to see him he starts out here
00:11:26like he's going to run and then
00:11:28he just drops back.
00:11:29One of those zone glitzes he was
00:11:32up in a position to run and he
00:11:33brought back I think Aikman
00:11:35expected him to run first and 10
00:11:41percent Francisco gets inside
00:11:43the twenty five.
00:11:44Let's just look at Ricky Jackson
00:11:46this is usually his rush
00:11:47and you see instead of rushing
00:11:48there and see Eric Williams
00:11:50expects him to run.
00:11:51He just drops back and he gets
00:11:53into that slant area.
00:11:55He gets between Troy Aikman and
00:11:57Michael Irvin.
00:11:58That was a good defense a good
00:12:00defensive call by the
00:12:01coordinator Pete Carroll.
00:12:02Totally unexpected by Troy
00:12:04Aikman.
00:12:04We're seeing more and more of
00:12:06that in this league zone blitzes
00:12:07where linemen drop off in the
00:12:10bottom of the eighth inning.
00:12:11Here's Elvis go back to throw
00:12:15it open inside the 10 is Ted
00:12:22Pops and I believe yes one of
00:12:25the two tight ends those of you
00:12:31watching Atlanta and Buffalo.
00:12:32Welcome to Texas Stadium where
00:12:34it's the forty niners 14 Dallas
00:12:36nothing and the forty niners have
00:12:40been the Dallas nine.
00:12:41You know one thing you never
00:12:42want to do is give a young
00:12:44quarterback confidence early in
00:12:46the Cowboys have done that with
00:12:47Elvis Gerber.
00:12:48He is full of confidence Dexter
00:12:52Carter is split wide to the left
00:12:55of Lavelle in motion complete
00:12:58Gerber rushed by Russell
00:13:01Maryland had a hurry because the
00:13:06forty niners came into this
00:13:07thing and everyone was expecting
00:13:10that they would win.
00:13:10They thought that you know all
00:13:12the injuries William Floyd is
00:13:14out and Steve Young they don't
00:13:15have this guy and that guy and
00:13:17and they thought that they would
00:13:18just you know just give up this
00:13:20game just go on but they they
00:13:22don't have that idea the way
00:13:23they're playing this first
00:13:24quarter.
00:13:25They're tired of people talking
00:13:26about him and talking down to
00:13:28them.
00:13:29The 49ers that were a one man
00:13:30team Steve you know he gets to
00:13:35about the seven stop by Darren
00:13:37Smith.
00:13:38He's got to be able to get the
00:13:39ball from there.
00:13:40You know the one thing you have
00:13:41to remember is that their
00:13:42defense is number one and
00:13:44defense can make things happen
00:13:46and score touchdowns and that's
00:13:48what they've done thus far.
00:13:51You look at George Seabrook it
00:13:53was ironic.
00:13:53We thought that he'd be kind of
00:13:56tight.
00:13:57He was very relaxed wasn't it.
00:13:59Steve Young behind him talking
00:14:01to him.
00:14:02Gardner hit him in the face.
00:14:03Yeah.
00:14:05Third and goal with the eight
00:14:06to throw it off his fingertips
00:14:12and out of the end zone.
00:14:14He had him.
00:14:15Well that's the one we're
00:14:16waiting for.
00:14:17You know when you get down there
00:14:18for the touchdown there's Deion
00:14:19Sanders against Jerry Rice.
00:14:23That's the matchup.
00:14:24There's Jerry Rice.
00:14:25There's Deion again.
00:14:26Deion Sanders very physical at
00:14:28the line of scrimmage.
00:14:29But Jerry Rice can also be very
00:14:32physical.
00:14:32Now had Gerbach gotten that ball
00:14:34there a little sooner that could
00:14:36have been a touchdown.
00:14:37Surely could have.
00:14:38It still could have been new
00:14:39kicker Jeff Wilkins with Elvis
00:14:41Gerbach holding Wilkins just
00:14:46saying 26 yard field goal makes
00:14:49it 17 nothing.
00:14:52The 49ers over the Cowboys was
00:14:54still over 10 minutes left to
00:14:55play in the first quarter came
00:15:00to eat and so did the 49ers.
00:15:02They're ahead 17 nothing in the
00:15:05first quarter.
00:15:06Wilkins set to kick it off.
00:15:08Think that whole Dallas Cowboys
00:15:10sideline and this whole Dallas
00:15:12Cowboy crowd is in shock.
00:15:14They should be.
00:15:16Wilkins kick is a good one.
00:15:19Sales deep to Kevin Williams who
00:15:22downs it in the end zone.
00:15:23It's first and 10 Cowboys from
00:15:26their own 20 Blake.
00:15:34We're talking to Tony Tolbert
00:15:36and the rest of the defensive
00:15:37unit 17 nothing San Francisco.
00:15:43Dallas in the background Texas
00:15:45Stadium with that famous hole in
00:15:49the room and a lot of shot
00:15:51coming out of that hole right
00:15:53now.
00:15:55Is it 17 nothing San Francisco.
00:15:58Here's Emmitt Smith for about a
00:16:04minute and a half shipped up by
00:16:06Tim McDonald.
00:16:07Yeah that's that's a way to get
00:16:09him going to me.
00:16:10Emmitt Smith is a heart and soul
00:16:12this off and he and they got in
00:16:15behind Nate Newton.
00:16:17You see that big Nate Newton the
00:16:18left guard pulls now anytime you
00:16:20get Nate pulling and you see
00:16:22you're going to get Nate pulling
00:16:24right here and he comes around
00:16:25here and then Emmitt Smith is
00:16:26going to get right in behind him
00:16:29anytime you got a big guard like
00:16:30that you just find him there's
00:16:31no way to get him.
00:16:32He's got to be in the middle
00:16:33highway 61 Emmitt got to about
00:16:41the 20 knock backwards from
00:16:43there got to about the 30.
00:16:44Beg your pardon.
00:16:47I think one thing that Ernie
00:16:49Zampezi the offensive
00:16:50coordinator has to remember is
00:16:52that even though they're down 17
00:16:54to nothing there's still there's
00:16:56still nine minutes left in the
00:16:57first quarter.
00:16:58It happened so quickly at time
00:17:00that you can't get it.
00:17:01No.
00:17:02So you can just kind of run your
00:17:03offense and you don't have to
00:17:05get into that you know panic type
00:17:07of thing and just go out and
00:17:08play and get things rolling.
00:17:10The Cowboys haven't started
00:17:11anything rolling yet.
00:17:12That's what you have to do.
00:17:13Third and very short across that
00:17:19yard line marker.
00:17:20That's as far as he had to get.
00:17:22So it's a first down and that's
00:17:25not easy yardage in there when
00:17:27you have Dana Stubbefield and
00:17:28Bryant Young.
00:17:29And I think if there's any area
00:17:31where where the 49ers defense
00:17:33is tough it's right in this area
00:17:35these two guys because if you're
00:17:38going to run inside you have to
00:17:39get them blocked illegal
00:17:44formation called against Dallas
00:17:48Stone who comes in on short
00:17:51yardage situations barely didn't
00:17:53report correctly.
00:17:56That's going to take that that
00:17:57that's going to take away and
00:17:59instead of being third and one
00:18:01it's going to be like third and
00:18:02six Bob McElwee third down now
00:18:18and about five and a half.
00:18:20They had the first down it was
00:18:21going to be the first down.
00:18:31Who gets the first down this
00:18:33time.
00:18:34Ken Norton made the stop.
00:18:36It was interesting yesterday
00:18:38when Trey was talking about Jay
00:18:39Novichak and how much confidence
00:18:42he has and Jay Novichak at the
00:18:45one point I think he got a
00:18:46little carried away he says when
00:18:48Jay Novichak retires I don't
00:18:50want to play anymore I'm going
00:18:51to retire.
00:18:52Maybe he will but I think that
00:18:54you know that that's the kind
00:18:55that you know that you have a
00:18:56penalty you need a first down.
00:18:58Who do you look for.
00:18:59Jay Novichak.
00:19:00Aikman back to throw again.
00:19:10You're watching Troy Aikman out
00:19:11there.
00:19:12Pat he's he's not moving right.
00:19:14No he's not.
00:19:14You know he did have that calf
00:19:16injury earlier and then I think
00:19:18he hurt his knee in this game.
00:19:20You know when we saw the shot
00:19:21that he was working on him with
00:19:23a knee brace whether it was that
00:19:24hit that Marquez Pope hit him on
00:19:26or not I'm not sure but he's not
00:19:28moving properly here.
00:19:30The calf injury was on the right
00:19:31leg.
00:19:32Now this is the left knee and he
00:19:33oh you're right he's not walking
00:19:35like he normally does.
00:19:38Second and five taken down by
00:19:48Dana stubble field.
00:19:50He's not moving right now and if
00:19:53they don't if they don't start
00:19:54blocking Dana stubble field in
00:19:55fact he's having a hard time
00:19:56getting up right here.
00:19:58In fact he's not going to get up
00:19:59right here.
00:20:02Troy Aikman is down.
00:20:03Here's Dana stubble field here
00:20:05and he's the guy that has really
00:20:06given the Cowboys problems in
00:20:08the past.
00:20:09He starts out there on Nate
00:20:10Newton and then he just throws
00:20:12Nate to the right side and Troy
00:20:14Aikman was moving to that side
00:20:16and Dana stubble field takes him
00:20:17down.
00:20:18And Troy Aikman is down.
00:20:21Remember as John Madden said a
00:20:23moment ago they were looking at
00:20:24Troy's left knee earlier.
00:20:30You do right here just just just
00:20:31getting it bent and just being
00:20:33taken down and just all the
00:20:35pressure that a guy that big
00:20:37like a 300 pounder like Dana
00:20:39stubble field when he gets in
00:20:41this position he gets up on top
00:20:43of you and then just drives down
00:20:45then all that pressure goes to
00:20:47the left knee and he's on that
00:20:49knee right.
00:20:50I think he heard earlier Wade
00:20:53Wilson gets ready 17 nothing 49
00:20:56yards Texas Stadium a new
00:21:01quarterback for the Cowboys the
00:21:03veteran Wade Wilson Troy Aikman
00:21:05headed for the locker room was
00:21:08that left knee.
00:21:09He got it earlier and then I
00:21:12think it hurt again when Dana
00:21:14stubble field was down 13.
00:21:18Wilson gets a first down.
00:21:23Tim McDonald again makes the
00:21:25sound.
00:21:26It was a first play.
00:21:27Remember early in the game when
00:21:29Marquez Pope was a corner and he
00:21:31came in and he blitzed from the
00:21:33outside and he hits Troy Aikman.
00:21:35I think this is the first time
00:21:37he hit it.
00:21:37You see when the left knee went
00:21:39down right there.
00:21:40Yeah that was a first injury.
00:21:41And when Dana stubble field
00:21:43sacks and watch the knee right
00:21:45there.
00:21:45That was the one that got him
00:21:46out of the game.
00:21:48John Jett to John Taylor deep
00:21:54for the 49ers.
00:21:55Yes that's as far as John Taylor
00:22:06will get to about the 17 Billy
00:22:09Davis 49 yard punt by Jett the
00:22:1449ers take over 17 nothing.
00:22:17They lead the Cowboys in the
00:22:18first quarter first and 10
00:22:23forty niners at their own 18
00:22:25curveback back to throw this
00:22:31read by somebody misconnection
00:22:34by somebody.
00:22:36Well I think Elvis grew back is
00:22:38going to think today that he's
00:22:39going to have a guy open and
00:22:40he's going to throw it to him or
00:22:42he's going to throw it away
00:22:43because he remembers that pass
00:22:45last week where he was trying to
00:22:46go to Brent Jones he couldn't
00:22:48get it.
00:22:48Then he tried to throw the ball
00:22:50away and instead he threw an
00:22:52interception at Tim McIntyre who
00:22:53ran at ninety four yards.
00:22:54He said that was just a bad
00:22:56throw.
00:22:57He was trying to throw it away.
00:22:58You're going to try and throw it
00:22:59away.
00:23:00You have to throw it away.
00:23:01Well one of the two tight ends
00:23:1149ers using that formation a lot
00:23:13where they use two tight ends.
00:23:14Boy that's way too much time.
00:23:16I mean he did a pump to the
00:23:18middle a pump to the outside and
00:23:20then a pump to the middle again.
00:23:22Now watch your protection here.
00:23:24Kirk Strafford blocking on
00:23:26Charles Haley and he has help
00:23:28from oats on the inside and
00:23:30that's what allowed Gerber a two
00:23:32pumper and when you get a two
00:23:34pumper and that's good pass
00:23:36protection and poor pass rush
00:23:37third and short three wide
00:23:39receivers.
00:23:40Derrick Lavelle gets the San
00:23:42Francisco first down stop by
00:23:45Scott case but they'll move the
00:23:47sticks for 40 left to play in
00:23:49the first quarter 17 nothing.
00:23:51You remember on Jerry Rice's
00:23:53touchdown pass.
00:23:57Dion Sanders wasn't on rice but
00:23:59Jerry Rice every place since I
00:24:01think that's wise don't you.
00:24:03Well the first I see and the 49ers
00:24:06are going to move rice around to
00:24:07and put him in motion.
00:24:08I mean they can't let him do it
00:24:10all the time.
00:24:10This time he's not on the right
00:24:11not on him here.
00:24:15Derrick Lavelle gets the carry
00:24:19Robert Jones made the stop to
00:24:22the 37 now.
00:24:26Dion Sanders is even going into
00:24:27the huddle usually when he just
00:24:29plays a right side or one guy he
00:24:30doesn't even go into the huddle
00:24:32but I think what the Cowboys are
00:24:34trying to do is mix it up a
00:24:35little sometimes he's playing
00:24:37right and left like right now
00:24:38he's playing right side.
00:24:39So he's just lining up there.
00:24:41Whoever comes out here he'll
00:24:43line up on Jerry Rice happens to
00:24:45come to his side.
00:24:46He's just taking the wide side
00:24:47of the field second and six in
00:24:53the direction of Brent.
00:24:55Right now for a McDonald's game
00:24:57break let's return to Hollywood
00:24:58with James Brown back at Texas
00:25:00Stadium at 17 nothing.
00:25:02The forty niners lead the
00:25:03Cowboys three thirty six left in
00:25:05the first quarter.
00:25:08Smith looking on as is Michael
00:25:10Irvin Michael Irvin's up there
00:25:12he's watching he wants to see
00:25:14this Jerry Rice and Deon Sanders
00:25:15matchup.
00:25:17Garibald has to take a time out
00:25:22and strolls to the sideline.
00:25:24Whereas Michael Irvin is going
00:25:25for a record himself today.
00:25:28He's been on the field for
00:25:29consecutive 100 yard games.
00:25:34He said you know it's going to
00:25:35be a big thing to him to break
00:25:37that record and also to have
00:25:38Jerry Rice here watching him
00:25:40break that record.
00:25:42We talked about Deon Sanders.
00:25:44There's been 12 plays 12
00:25:46defensive plays.
00:25:48He's lined up on Jerry Rice and
00:25:5010 of those plays.
00:25:52And of course the one of them
00:25:53was a big one.
00:25:54One of those back one of those
00:25:55two that he didn't line up on
00:25:57and then he got a chance to
00:25:58throw it in the slot and they
00:26:01scored a touchdown on from 81
00:26:03yards away.
00:26:07Very right.
00:26:08I think I think I think there's
00:26:09a lot of great competitors here.
00:26:11You know if you look at what we
00:26:12have here in this game we have
00:26:15teams that have won the last
00:26:17three Super Bowls of course the
00:26:18Cowboys won two in a row and
00:26:21then the 49ers won last year.
00:26:23Deon Sanders was with the 49ers
00:26:26last year.
00:26:26He was MVP in the National
00:26:28Football League last year and
00:26:30right here on this field today
00:26:32they're not all playing.
00:26:33Troy Aikman's in the locker room.
00:26:34We have some of the greatest
00:26:36players that ever played this
00:26:37game.
00:26:38Third and six Haley jump that
00:26:40won't be enough for a first
00:26:42down.
00:26:44Gerbach went with a long count
00:26:46by McElwee is the referee
00:26:48neutral zone infraction number
00:26:50ninety four defense.
00:26:52You're still third down.
00:26:55There's President Bush spectator.
00:26:58He has to be a cowboy fan.
00:27:01Here's one thing you like about
00:27:02President Bush always has that
00:27:04milk in his right hand always
00:27:06ready to go but he has to be in
00:27:08shock over this.
00:27:09I mean he he comes to who would
00:27:13have thought 17 to nothing.
00:27:15He says it's milk in a beer
00:27:17glass.
00:27:18There's a message third one
00:27:22that's Derek Lovell.
00:27:24Adam Walker who started at
00:27:26fullback has a broken thumb so
00:27:28the 49ers don't want to take too
00:27:30many chances with him handling
00:27:31the ball.
00:27:32You talk about a guy who has
00:27:34stick to it and it's no he's
00:27:36starting his game at fullback
00:27:37like you say with a broken thumb
00:27:39and a cast on that thumb.
00:27:42Now he's been cut by the 49ers
00:27:44nine times and signed at 10
00:27:47times re-signed 10 times.
00:27:49That is stick to it.
00:27:50Yeah I think some luck involved
00:27:54too.
00:27:55You know I mean he's always one
00:27:56of those guys that's always on
00:27:57the fence through the bubble
00:27:59against special teams.
00:28:00Here's Rice deep in cowboy
00:28:06territory at their 30.
00:28:08Larry Brown was the nearest
00:28:09pursuer but Jerry went out of
00:28:11bounds at the 30.
00:28:12And again they're getting Jerry
00:28:14Rice on a linebacker that time
00:28:16it was Robert Jones.
00:28:17You watch here pretty good time
00:28:19just give him enough time just
00:28:20to get it off and you're going
00:28:22to get it off then get it off to
00:28:23Jerry Rice.
00:28:24You see they got him away by
00:28:26getting him in motion.
00:28:27Now right there the closest guy
00:28:28is going to be Robert Jones the
00:28:30middle linebacker.
00:28:31He gets by him and then Elvis
00:28:33Gerbach hits him.
00:28:35Jerry Rice has two catches for a
00:28:37hundred and one yards in the 81
00:28:39yard touchdown.
00:28:45You're about to 26.
00:28:47They should have had a pass on
00:28:48that plate.
00:28:49Pat the the cowboy defense
00:28:51wasn't ready to play there.
00:28:53Their secondary was running back
00:28:55and forth and this is one of the
00:28:57things I think you get in this
00:28:58matchup defense.
00:29:00They're not used to as you get
00:29:02confusion.
00:29:03And in that time they had four
00:29:04guys are running around not
00:29:06knowing where they were going.
00:29:09So that's the kind of balance
00:29:12you'd like to have seven rushes
00:29:14eight passes or vice versa.
00:29:16Somewhere in that area flags
00:29:24fall.
00:29:26Charles Haley trying to get a
00:29:27job this is not against Haley
00:29:34however.
00:29:34That's Kirk Scraffer the the
00:29:36left tackle.
00:29:37He moves you see him move right
00:29:39there once once they get set
00:29:41they can't move.
00:29:42Charles Haley smart enough to
00:29:44know that if he moves he's going
00:29:46to make sure that official sees
00:29:48it because he'll jump and say he
00:29:50brought me on second and three
00:29:54wide receiver JJ Stokes Rice was
00:30:03matched up on Sanders or vice
00:30:05versa if you look at that at
00:30:16Jerry Rice and you know one of
00:30:17the things that he's always been
00:30:19better than anyone is this rack
00:30:21yardage run after the catch.
00:30:23Look at that he has one hundred
00:30:24and one yard so far.
00:30:26And of course ninety one of
00:30:28those are after the cat.
00:30:30And I don't think there's ever
00:30:31been a better at doing that.
00:30:34He's out of the slot this time
00:30:50Jerry Rice is saying he was down
00:30:52the official points that he was
00:30:54down.
00:30:57It all starts with fast
00:30:58protection.
00:31:00They're gilliland and Elvis
00:31:01and he's got way too much time.
00:31:04This is his own defense.
00:31:05Rice working there against the
00:31:06zone.
00:31:07The first guy there is Brock
00:31:09Marion to make the tackle and I
00:31:11said that he didn't fumble until
00:31:12he was down and that's a good
00:31:15call.
00:31:15He was down by contact first and
00:31:19goal at the two for San
00:31:21Francisco.
00:31:21They lead 17 nothing already
00:31:24racist big plays have been when
00:31:26and the defenders isn't close but
00:31:31not in Steve Young is is is
00:31:38talking into the headset of
00:31:40Elvis Gerber versus the fourth
00:31:42game that they've done it.
00:31:44So they have it down pretty well
00:31:45now.
00:31:50I think he's waiting for a play
00:31:51here.
00:31:52He's telling him he has one yard
00:31:55and he's got to run out.
00:31:57Then they'll go to the other end
00:31:58and they could go and talk about
00:32:00and talk whether they should run
00:32:01a quarterback sneak or not.
00:32:03Don't forget that Elvis
00:32:05Gerber's got a bad ankle.
00:32:06He hurt last week against
00:32:07Carolina so maybe not a
00:32:09quarterback.
00:32:10Maybe Lavelle again.
00:32:11We'll be back.
00:32:16Just the end of the first
00:32:17quarter.
00:32:18It was like we played a whole
00:32:19game here.
00:32:20San Francisco.
00:32:21I couldn't believe that just in
00:32:23the first quarter.
00:32:25Well they struck so quickly.
00:32:27Second and goal at the one
00:32:28they're about to strike again.
00:32:30The other thing that's
00:32:30impressive is the offensive line
00:32:33of the forty niners have done a
00:32:35good job of giving Elvis
00:32:37Gerber a lot of time not just a
00:32:39little time they've given him a
00:32:40lot of time.
00:32:41I think that's the key so far.
00:32:46No signal yet except from Elvis
00:32:48Gerber who's signaling
00:32:49touchdown.
00:32:51Yeah.
00:32:52Jones says it's about six
00:32:53inches.
00:32:53This is a problem when you when
00:32:55you lose a William Floyd not
00:32:58only the runner but the lead
00:33:00blocker.
00:33:01You know they don't have a
00:33:01fullback on this team anymore so
00:33:03you don't have that lead
00:33:05blocking fullback.
00:33:07And what they try and do is they
00:33:09try and put Ted Pops in there in
00:33:10the backfield and and you really
00:33:12don't have you know I mean he's
00:33:13just he's not a threat to carry
00:33:15the ball and he's not really you
00:33:17know used to blocking from that
00:33:19position.
00:33:20And you saw that effort which was
00:33:23successful three wide receivers
00:33:25this time.
00:33:28Now they're signaling touchdown
00:33:30and yes it is the 49ers 23 to
00:33:35nothing over the Cowboys and the
00:33:3749ers have them on the run now
00:33:39on the ropes and then they got
00:33:43the three wide receivers in
00:33:45there and spread them out and
00:33:47then the Cowboys tried to again
00:33:49and you'll make a defensive
00:33:51adjustment and substitution and
00:33:53they had people running all over
00:33:54the place and they didn't get
00:33:55set on defense.
00:33:57That's two times on this drive
00:33:59that the Cowboy defense wasn't
00:34:01set Wilkins for the extra point
00:34:06to make it or to attempt to make
00:34:07it 24 and does just sign this
00:34:15week's 49ers 24 Dallas nothing
00:34:19and the 49ers have a run at it
00:34:20and they never did get set.
00:34:22I mean you see guys coming in
00:34:23guys going out guys on the 40
00:34:25niner side off side and they
00:34:27really don't get up there and
00:34:28get set before the 49ers got
00:34:30that touchdown and that's two
00:34:32times they got caught in that on
00:34:34that drive.
00:34:36So Wilkins kicks off again 24
00:34:38nothing good kick Kevin Williams
00:34:42going to bring it out of the end
00:34:43zone.
00:34:43He's going to bring it out of the
00:34:44end zone.
00:34:45He's going to bring it out of the
00:34:45end zone.
00:34:46He's going to bring it out of the
00:34:47end zone.
00:34:48Kevin Williams going to bring it
00:34:49out of the end zone.
00:34:58Stopped by Dodds right now for a
00:35:00quick report.
00:35:01Let's go down to Pam Oliver.
00:35:03Well Pat we'll sit we'll still
00:35:04waiting on a definitive word
00:35:05from the Cowboys.
00:35:06We've got a peek of Troy Aikman
00:35:07in the locker room where he had
00:35:09his shoulder pads off.
00:35:10He had just his his pants on and
00:35:13he also he took off his shoes.
00:35:15No definitive word as I said.
00:35:17So it's not it's looking like
00:35:18that he may not come back.
00:35:19Back to you.
00:35:21All right Pam thank you.
00:35:24We'll try to find out as much as
00:35:26we can about Troy Aikman his
00:35:27condition condition Wade Wilson
00:35:32in the meantime will carry the
00:35:35Cowboy responsibility along with
00:35:38Emmitt Smith back to the line of
00:35:44scrimmage maybe a couple of
00:35:45days ago.
00:35:45We'll find out Ted Popson problem
00:35:50with his shoulder pad.
00:35:51But we're talking about how this
00:35:53this game the first quarter of
00:35:54this game looks so much like
00:35:56last year's NFC championship
00:35:57game.
00:35:58Remember that the Cowboys had
00:36:00like three turnovers and off
00:36:02those three turnovers the
00:36:03forty-niners got twenty one
00:36:04points.
00:36:05Same thing today they had two
00:36:06turnovers off those two
00:36:08turnovers.
00:36:09The forty niners got 17 points.
00:36:11The first quarter of this game
00:36:13is a heck of a lot like that
00:36:15last year.
00:36:16Second and nine short pick up
00:36:25maybe five stopped by Tim
00:36:26McDonald the word we've just
00:36:33gotten about Troy Aikman is he
00:36:36will not be back.
00:36:38He will not return.
00:36:39It's Wade Wilson's job to get
00:36:41done if he can.
00:36:44Aikman has a bruise on his left
00:36:46knee where the hamstring
00:36:47attaches.
00:36:51That's the information that we
00:36:52have.
00:36:55Again I think it was that first
00:36:56hit by Marquez Pope that got it
00:36:58started.
00:36:59Then Dana Stubblefields.
00:37:03Wilson tried to throw bat it
00:37:06down.
00:37:07The Cowboys will have to punt
00:37:08again.
00:37:08We look at it again.
00:37:09This is the first one.
00:37:10Here's Marquez Pope coming off
00:37:12that corner.
00:37:13Watch him hit Troy Aikman right
00:37:14there see the left knee goes
00:37:16down and look like it buckled
00:37:17leave before it hit.
00:37:18Here's the second one.
00:37:19Dana Stubblefield gets the sack
00:37:22now again as it goes down watch
00:37:23his left knee right there.
00:37:26I think those were the two of
00:37:27the first one I think got him
00:37:28started because he was limping
00:37:29after that first one they had
00:37:31him looking at looking at it on
00:37:32the sideline and his pants down
00:37:34and working on his brace and he
00:37:36was pointing to where it was
00:37:37hurt at that time.
00:37:38John Jett to John Taylor
00:37:40and the Cardinals fair catch
00:37:42into the end zone the 49ers
00:37:44will start from the 20 Chad
00:37:46Hemmings like Chad saying he's
00:37:53stable welcome the blockbuster
00:37:59video blimp and its crew to
00:38:01today's telecast piloting the
00:38:03blockbuster blimp is Terry
00:38:05Dillard from Lake Monroe
00:38:07Florida got a pretty good view
00:38:09of the blockbuster four wide
00:38:15receivers this time on first and
00:38:1710 for San Francisco at their
00:38:18own 20 Taylor in motion.
00:38:22Gerbach like he's trying to set
00:38:25up a screen finally threw it to
00:38:29Derek Lovell right now for a
00:38:32McDonald's game break.
00:38:33James Brown in Hollywood.
00:38:35So you was happening between
00:38:36Minnesota and Arizona.
00:38:38And Jake Reed that in the
00:38:40second quarter and it's 10
00:38:41nothing Minnesota over the
00:38:43Cardinals back to Irving Pat
00:38:45Summerall and John Madden and a
00:38:48shocking score here.
00:38:49Twenty four to nothing.
00:38:50San Francisco over Dallas and
00:38:53we've just begun the second
00:38:55inning second and 10 49ers have
00:39:11Chris Dallman in their number 67
00:39:13is the right guard.
00:39:15You can see what they're going
00:39:16to do is there is they're taking
00:39:17Milstead and Dallman and they're
00:39:19just rotating them and they're
00:39:21working against these these
00:39:22cowboy defensive tackles that
00:39:24they're going to do.
00:39:25And then you've got Russell
00:39:26Maryland who was on a stunt see
00:39:29the guy if you start to run
00:39:31they're going to get that safety
00:39:32up there and that's what the
00:39:33Cowboys did with Darren
00:39:34Woodson.
00:39:42Bates was coming up the middle.
00:39:44Brent Jones the intended
00:39:46receiver but a penalty marker
00:39:48down all this Gerbach is up
00:39:52there with the officials saying
00:39:53he's trying to get one here
00:39:55because defensive number 21
00:39:58defense lined up in the neutral
00:40:01zone.
00:40:01Dion Sanders you know that won't
00:40:05be the first down he was trying
00:40:06to get holding.
00:40:07He knew Dion did something wrong
00:40:09but Dion gets up there and that
00:40:11man to man tight coverage and
00:40:13sometimes he gets up so tight
00:40:15that he lines up in the neutral
00:40:17zone the neutral zone of course
00:40:18being the length of the ball but
00:40:20he likes to get right up on that
00:40:22receiver that's tight but you
00:40:24know sometimes you know the way
00:40:25to draw those guys off side is
00:40:27if you're on the line of
00:40:29scrimmage is a split and he can
00:40:31get on you tight if you're the
00:40:32flanker and you're a little off
00:40:34you can make him line up in the
00:40:36neutral zone third down San
00:40:39Francisco.
00:40:40Her back to throw it gets it
00:40:42outside and he'll get a forty
00:40:45nine at first down good throw by
00:40:46all this Gerbach Larry Brown
00:40:49knocked him out of bounds this
00:40:51year.
00:40:51He's got a lot of confidence in
00:40:53him this cowboy defense is
00:40:55self-destructed a couple of
00:40:56times on third down penalties
00:40:58there was one earlier where
00:40:59Charles Haley jumped off sides
00:41:01and gave him a third and short
00:41:03that one Deon Sanders lined up
00:41:05offsides and then gave him an
00:41:07easier position to get a first
00:41:09down from and again when you
00:41:11have a young quarterback like
00:41:12Elvis Gerbach a third year guy
00:41:15the more things you give him the
00:41:18more confidence you're giving
00:41:19him.
00:41:20He's got a lot of confidence in
00:41:21him.
00:41:22He's got a lot of confidence in
00:41:23Gerbach a lot of confidence and
00:41:25more confidence he gets the more
00:41:26trouble he's going to give you
00:41:46just as a blow I thought that he
00:41:48should have blown the whistle.
00:41:50Here's Charles Haley here again.
00:41:52This is good coverage.
00:41:53See Elvis Gerbach look to the
00:41:54right look to the middle look to
00:41:55the left start to run.
00:41:57Charles Haley gets him here.
00:41:59Now the whistle should blow you
00:42:00ought to blow the whistle.
00:42:01If you don't blow the whistle
00:42:03Charles Haley has to do what he
00:42:04did.
00:42:09I'll tell you there's some
00:42:09intensity in this thing.
00:42:11Good justice to pull his eyes.
00:42:15These guys aren't messing around
00:42:16here today.
00:42:17They're coming out here to eat
00:42:18cupcakes.
00:42:19He's not saying it's nice to see
00:42:20you.
00:42:27Well covered.
00:42:30Beyond Sanders right with him.
00:42:32That's what everyone was looking
00:42:33for.
00:42:34This is what you want to say is
00:42:35just man to man.
00:42:36There's no double coverage
00:42:37there's no zone there's no safety
00:42:40in the middle to help you.
00:42:42Jerry Rice gets a step on him
00:42:43raises his hand but there's no
00:42:46but there's no one with better
00:42:48catch up speed and all the
00:42:49football the number 21.
00:42:51And he did that.
00:42:52I mean Jerry Rice when he raised
00:42:53the hand he did have a step.
00:42:55He was open then.
00:42:56I don't think he has made up
00:42:58that step plus another step on
00:43:01that thing.
00:43:02I wonder what kind of shape and
00:43:04compare I know Jerry Rice is in
00:43:06great shape.
00:43:09Passes complete that won't be
00:43:11enough for a first down Chris
00:43:12Thomas made the reception and
00:43:15he's got a great job.
00:43:16I mean beyond Sanders can't be
00:43:17in great shape.
00:43:18I mean he had ankle surgery.
00:43:19He had a hamstring pull.
00:43:21I'll tell you when he went to
00:43:23the shelf to get all the parts
00:43:24he got all the good part.
00:43:25Yeah he did.
00:43:26He got all that you know that
00:43:27all that stuff off the shelf and
00:43:29said speed quickness ability
00:43:31agility jump for the ball all
00:43:34those things he took that all
00:43:35off the shelf.
00:43:37Kevin Williams back deep Tommy
00:43:39Thompson to punt the first time
00:43:41today for the forty niners.
00:43:44He's got a great job.
00:43:45He's got a great job.
00:43:46He's got a great job playing the
00:43:47first half and look at that.
00:43:50Who would have thought that
00:43:52Thompson's kick is a rocket.
00:44:11And this much intensity in this
00:44:13game that has to be a flag on
00:44:14the field.
00:44:15It's going to be a flag on the
00:44:16field.
00:44:16It's going to be a flag on the
00:44:17field.
00:44:21See Joe Avezzano the special
00:44:23team's coach of the Cowboys
00:44:24arguing there you know it's
00:44:25going to be against the Cowboys.
00:44:29Here's Joe.
00:44:32Oh now he's climbing.
00:44:33Maybe not.
00:44:33Maybe not.
00:44:34He started to argue that he
00:44:36started to clap.
00:44:38Maybe he talked him out of
00:44:39something.
00:44:41Tripping tripping number 86 on
00:44:44the first down Brett Carlin
00:44:48Brett Carlin right there number
00:44:5086.
00:44:51Watch it.
00:44:51He misses the play and he like
00:44:53whips and they ought to catch
00:44:56that when you get like whip like
00:44:58that you ought to get you ought
00:45:01to get penalized.
00:45:02That could be dangerous is
00:45:04dangerous.
00:45:07Michael Irvin shooting today for
00:45:10the most consecutive games with
00:45:11the Cowboys 100 yards receiving
00:45:15record he now shares with
00:45:16Hennigan and Grohmann who is the
00:45:18Houston quarterback in a central
00:45:23on Fox Wade Wilson back to throw
00:45:30and over check plumber made the
00:45:35stop on Jay.
00:45:36One thing the forty niners are
00:45:38going to do is check what kind
00:45:39of shape Deion Sanders is in
00:45:41because they think that he's not
00:45:43in great shape to play football
00:45:45so they're just going to run him
00:45:47deep all day.
00:45:48And you know this guy is in
00:45:49better shape than anybody.
00:45:50Jerry Rice have it on the one
00:45:52play that Deion had to check his
00:45:54shape when they threw that post
00:45:56Jerry Rice Deion Deion made up
00:45:58some steps on he goes in a
00:45:59hurry.
00:46:00This is Emmitt Smith Emmitt
00:46:04that'll be enough for a cowboy
00:46:05first down the first time they've
00:46:06been in San Francisco territory.
00:46:08And then the big Donald came up
00:46:10to make the stop.
00:46:11I think that Michael Irvin is
00:46:12starting to get a little
00:46:13frustrated here because
00:46:15eventually they're going to have
00:46:16to get the ball to him.
00:46:17He's only caught one pass.
00:46:19You see him here.
00:46:20Marquez Pope again getting
00:46:21physical with him.
00:46:23Yeah I mean he threw that right
00:46:24on him and then he backed into
00:46:26him and and that turned out to.
00:46:27I mean that's just a fistfight
00:46:30fight broke out.
00:46:31Michael Irvin Michael Irvin has
00:46:33only caught one pass and that
00:46:35one pass he caught he fumbled
00:46:37and the 49ers score Wilson to
00:46:44Emmitt Smith thirty five again
00:46:48that Aflac trivia our question
00:46:52is who was the Houston
00:46:54quarterback George Blanda and
00:46:59those two Houston receivers set
00:47:02that record in 1961.
00:47:04Michael Michael Irvin has tied
00:47:06the record here and he's trying
00:47:07to break it.
00:47:08Yeah that's amazing that the guy
00:47:10was set by the same guys on the
00:47:12same team.
00:47:13Yeah.
00:47:14And of course it's not amazing
00:47:15that George Blanda threw him
00:47:16though George down it played for
00:47:18me for years and there's nothing
00:47:20to George Blanda wasn't capable
00:47:22of.
00:47:22Talk about your amazing
00:47:23athletes.
00:47:24Here's Emmitt Smith and Smith to
00:47:26about the forty one that'll
00:47:29bring up third and about four.
00:47:31You know one thing I was talking
00:47:32about this cowboy offense is you
00:47:34know the triplets that you know
00:47:36the Troy Aikman Troy Aikman is
00:47:39out of the game now.
00:47:40Michael Irvin he's only caught
00:47:42one pass and then Emmitt Smith
00:47:44and and none of them have gotten
00:47:47started yet.
00:47:47I mean Troy's not going to get
00:47:49started.
00:47:50And as we said Michael Irvin is
00:47:51only caught one pass and then
00:47:53Emmitt Smith has rushed six
00:47:54times for 18 yards.
00:47:56So the triplets have been kind
00:47:58of quiet.
00:47:59It's not been their day.
00:48:00And here's Wade Wilson back to
00:48:02throw and a flag on the play
00:48:07intended for Kevin Williams.
00:48:08Marquez Pope on the coverage.
00:48:10He's upset.
00:48:11Yeah I don't know about that.
00:48:13Marquez Pope just took an angle
00:48:15and he cut Kevin Williams off.
00:48:16That didn't look like pass
00:48:18interference from here.
00:48:20I don't think that was catchable
00:48:22to you.
00:48:22No.
00:48:23That's interference.
00:48:24Number 23 defense.
00:48:25We think doesn't matter.
00:48:26No no no it doesn't make any
00:48:28difference but I thought Marquez
00:48:30Pope was playing very well today
00:48:32and I thought he played this one
00:48:34well.
00:48:34Here they are down here and
00:48:36you're going to see Marquez Pope
00:48:38is going to bump William and
00:48:40then Kevin Williams is going to
00:48:41get beyond them and then he just
00:48:43takes a position that that is
00:48:45not pass interference.
00:48:46I don't think so.
00:48:47No no no.
00:48:47That is wrong.
00:48:48I mean he has his number one
00:48:50position and he's not going to
00:48:51get beyond him.
00:48:52He's not going to get past
00:48:53Williams.
00:48:53That is wrong.
00:48:55I mean he has as much right to
00:48:57do that position as a receiver
00:48:59does.
00:49:00It's a cowboy first down Wilson
00:49:02to throw swings it out to
00:49:03Emmett Smith.
00:49:04And it misses one man makes it
00:49:06out of this.
00:49:08And it's Smith out of bounds at
00:49:10about the one that's vintage
00:49:14number 22.
00:49:15You get a break.
00:49:16The Cowboys got a break on that
00:49:18interference.
00:49:19Then after you get a break then
00:49:20you have to get the ball.
00:49:21You have to get the ball to
00:49:22Emmett Smith.
00:49:23You have to get it to Michael
00:49:24Irvin here.
00:49:25Wade Wilson just throws that
00:49:26damage and Emmett Smith is the
00:49:28toughest guy to tackle in this
00:49:30league.
00:49:31And when he gets that thing
00:49:32going he's going right for the
00:49:33end zone.
00:49:34He didn't get it in but I'll
00:49:35guarantee you he's going to get
00:49:37it in on this next play or at
00:49:38least he's going to get it this
00:49:39next one.
00:49:40First and goal with the one Lee
00:49:41Woodall was the first 49er to
00:49:43face him and Emmett really do
00:49:46not want to see him here's the
00:50:11touchdown.
00:50:12Look at his eyes.
00:50:13But you know when he didn't make
00:50:15a play and I didn't have any
00:50:17doubt before they even ran the
00:50:18play that he was going to get
00:50:19it.
00:50:20Now that is good block and
00:50:21there's no one.
00:50:21Ken Norton was the closest guy
00:50:23to have a chance at him but he
00:50:24didn't even have a chance.
00:50:25That was all blocking bone
00:50:28you're all for the extra point.
00:50:29Novacek is the holder 24 to 7.
00:50:33The 49ers lead is cut six and a
00:50:37half minutes left to play in the
00:50:39second half it's 24 7 49er
00:50:46Texas Stadium a shocking score
00:50:49to a lot of people the 49ers 24
00:50:52Dallas seven six and a half
00:50:54minutes left to play in the
00:50:55first half.
00:50:56Cowboys just scored him at Smith
00:50:58did and phone you all the kick
00:51:02down the back up tight end.
00:51:24Who would have thought that he
00:51:25was a quarterback.
00:51:26He was a high school quarterback
00:51:28and a college quarterback flags
00:51:31and now the momentum is starting
00:51:36to turn illegal block in the
00:51:39back.
00:51:40Number 43 and illegal block in
00:51:42the back.
00:51:43Number 55 they backed the 49ers
00:51:56up for that illegal block in the
00:51:59back all the way to their seven
00:52:01and a half minutes left to play
00:52:02in the second half.
00:52:03The 49ers are on the sideline.
00:52:05Elvis Gerber started and is
00:52:07still the 49er quarterback.
00:52:09Steve Young is dressed but on
00:52:11the sideline.
00:52:24We're talking about momentum
00:52:26changing here.
00:52:27Yeah you can feel the momentum
00:52:30getting into the game now.
00:52:32I think it all started with that
00:52:34pass interference and Marquez
00:52:35Pope.
00:52:37Well I thought for a moment that
00:52:39the Cowboys had recovered a
00:52:41fumble here by Brent Jones but
00:52:42they didn't.
00:52:43It's still San Francisco ball.
00:52:45Brent Jones did fumble.
00:52:47Yes he did.
00:52:48See it come out.
00:52:49It's still loose down there.
00:52:51The 49ers come up with it right
00:52:53there at the end.
00:52:56So it's second down to about the
00:53:0212 stop by Chad Hennings Brent
00:53:07Jones.
00:53:09Hey you see the ball knocked out
00:53:10there.
00:53:11See here comes Jesse Sapolo and
00:53:14right there was Chris Dallman
00:53:15number 67.
00:53:16I think Dallman ended up with it
00:53:20for those linemen have to do you
00:53:21have to block and block and then
00:53:22get out in front and just hustle
00:53:24and just be in a position that
00:53:26they can't help with no matter
00:53:27what happens.
00:53:29The 49ers are going to have a
00:53:30tough time hearing now third and
00:53:32five.
00:53:34So as a result they'll have a
00:53:35tough time changing plays his go
00:53:37back back to throw comes out of
00:53:38the pocket he got the ankle last
00:53:48week in fact they didn't know if
00:53:49he'd be able to play this week
00:53:52but he took off on this one
00:53:54because they didn't know if he
00:53:55was going to be able to play
00:53:56this one.
00:53:57So they the Cowboys don't think
00:53:59that he can run.
00:54:00So Tony Tolbert takes an angle
00:54:02where Elvis Gerber is going to
00:54:04be.
00:54:04Then he gets caught inside
00:54:06Gerber sees it and he's able to
00:54:08outrun the whole side.
00:54:12That's what happens when your
00:54:13defensive ends knows that the
00:54:15quarterback can't run.
00:54:16Then you just start rushing for
00:54:18a point.
00:54:18You don't worry about the guy
00:54:19running outside you.
00:54:21And when you do you can usually
00:54:22get the first down but he can
00:54:25run and he did get the first
00:54:27down.
00:54:29And when we talked to him
00:54:30yesterday and to George Seaver
00:54:31both of them said that he
00:54:32couldn't run.
00:54:33He can't run when he can run
00:54:34Elvis Gerber.
00:54:35Right.
00:54:36Right.
00:54:36But then with the bad ankle he
00:54:37said you know he'll be able to
00:54:39drop back but he won't be able
00:54:41to run.
00:54:42But lo and behold you know
00:54:44that's what adrenaline does.
00:54:45Adrenaline is an amazing thing.
00:54:48It makes you heal and do things
00:54:50that you don't normally do.
00:54:52Now gets the carry gets a
00:54:56couple.
00:54:56Tony Tolbert made this stop.
00:55:02This is this is this is a good
00:55:03drive here for the forty niners.
00:55:05That was a big play there just
00:55:07to get a little momentum back
00:55:09because they had the penalty and
00:55:10then Emmitt Smith makes a couple
00:55:12plays and then they have to kick
00:55:13off and have another penalty on
00:55:15that play and they had to get
00:55:17something good to balance out
00:55:19the second and seven Dexter
00:55:22Carter split wide left Scott
00:55:34case made the stop.
00:55:37We started this game but you
00:55:39were talking about kind of a
00:55:40makeshift offense offensive line
00:55:43but these guys have done a heck
00:55:45of a job in pass protecting
00:55:47today.
00:55:47And they've given in this first
00:55:49half they've given Elvis
00:55:50Grubach enough time to look a
00:55:53couple of places to find his
00:55:55receivers.
00:55:56I think they've done that the
00:55:57whole first half stayed on his
00:56:10feet and spun for a couple more
00:56:13about the 38 about Brent Jones.
00:56:17He was injured two weeks ago he
00:56:19was injured in the first report
00:56:20was he injured his knee and
00:56:23ankle and would be out for the
00:56:24season and the next report was
00:56:26well it wasn't as bad as we
00:56:27thought he'll be out six to
00:56:29eight weeks and he was out none
00:56:31weeks he started the day last
00:56:33week and he said he wore the
00:56:34brace he's going to have to wear
00:56:35a knee brace a whole year but he
00:56:38said on one pass he caught and
00:56:39he took off up the sideline he
00:56:40was surprised how fast he could
00:56:42run with that knee brace got
00:56:44out of the way and he's going to
00:56:45get a couple of pitches.
00:56:47Here's the bell stopped by
00:56:51Dixon Edwards this time Michael
00:56:55Irvin I think Michael Irvin
00:56:57starting to get frustrated.
00:56:58Part of it is only caught one
00:57:00pass he's going for a record.
00:57:02The other part is they're down
00:57:03twenty four to seven and maybe
00:57:05the biggest thing is his
00:57:07quarterback Troy Aikman is in
00:57:10the house that plus they can't
00:57:12get a chance to get a run.
00:57:15Smith has the only touchdown for
00:57:17the Cowboys Jerry Rice has won
00:57:19Merton Hanks has won Derrick
00:57:21Lavelle has won for San
00:57:22Francisco plus a field goal by
00:57:24Wilkins number 80 right here
00:57:27Jerry Rice could be another part
00:57:28of Michael Irvin's frustration
00:57:32about did he call a timeout in
00:57:34time flags on the play San
00:57:38Francisco.
00:57:39He got a call in time they only
00:57:41have two twenty six left in the
00:57:42first half 49ers on top when
00:57:50any time a center field something
00:57:52move he snaps the ball Gerbach
00:57:54takes his hands to call timeout
00:57:57and Bartosz just snaps the ball
00:58:01and brought it back.
00:58:04Yeah I know he got that ball up
00:58:05there.
00:58:06Everyone moves the backs are
00:58:07moving everyone's moving Jerry
00:58:09everyone's moving Jerry Rice is
00:58:11coming in.
00:58:12Looks like Radio City but if he
00:58:14takes it up Bartosz just held
00:58:17on to that ball ball snap
00:58:20remember the old deal you used
00:58:21to be able to do that you put
00:58:23up the guy touch it and then the
00:58:24center could run.
00:58:26Don't forget coming up the
00:58:27Dockers halftime J.B. Terry
00:58:29Howie and Jimmy scores and
00:58:31highlights shocking score to
00:58:36most I'm sure at Texas Stadium
00:58:39and the Dodgers are in the
00:58:40lead 24 7 in San Francisco
00:58:42leading down to throw it for JJ
00:58:48Stokes or in that direction.
00:58:51No chance he's well covered.
00:58:54You're the one thing you know
00:58:55here's Charles Haley over in the
00:58:57other side he's going against
00:58:58Harris Barton and one thing the
00:59:0049ers know any place that
00:59:02Charles Haley goes you have to
00:59:03get help.
00:59:04Now he starts out and he comes
00:59:05on a stunt and the guard is
00:59:07just waiting for him to come on
00:59:10those inside pass rushes second
00:59:13and 10.
00:59:14In fact I think all five of
00:59:16those offensive linemen the 49ers
00:59:18are looking for 94.
00:59:20They've done a good job to tie
00:59:23it ends go back back to throw
00:59:24it.
00:59:26Passes by Stokes and he's going
00:59:30to have a 49er first down Brock
00:59:33Marion and the other round.
00:59:36Now the other thing they do Pat
00:59:38with with Charles Haley is watch
00:59:40here how Brent Jones is just
00:59:41going to chop him.
00:59:42You see they have two tight ends
00:59:44on him and they just kind of
00:59:45chop them and they and they're
00:59:46going to do every different kind
00:59:49of block to him that you can do
00:59:52two minutes remaining in the
00:59:53first half and the 49ers ahead
00:59:5524 to 7 they struck early Texas
01:00:03Stadium the home of the Cowboys
01:00:08and it's not a very happy home
01:00:10right now as the 49ers lead it
01:00:1324 to 7 and this is a good
01:00:15look at Gerbach again calls time
01:00:17out you can't do it can't do it
01:00:28after the two minute warning
01:00:30again he called a timeout and
01:00:32then they said that he couldn't
01:00:33do it and then they said that he
01:00:34couldn't do it.
01:00:35Why can't he do it.
01:00:36Well the the the the rule that
01:00:39they had to say is that
01:00:39defensive thing you know you
01:00:41can't take two timeouts for the
01:00:42kicker Francisco.
01:00:44That is their last time.
01:00:47Well you know that deal where
01:00:50you go to stop the you know to
01:00:51make the kicker nervous you take
01:00:53a make him think about it a
01:00:54defensive timeout then you take
01:00:55another one you can't do back to
01:00:57back timeouts.
01:00:58I think that's what the official
01:00:59is thinking of when he said he
01:01:00couldn't do it.
01:01:00He said he couldn't do it.
01:01:02Well I was a two minute warning
01:01:03followed by a timeout.
01:01:06So that's a different category.
01:01:08So then it's not back back up
01:01:09timeout Steve Young talking with
01:01:15Elvis Gerbach.
01:01:16Steve was really he was saying
01:01:18if it was an ankle or a knee I
01:01:22could put something on it tape
01:01:23it up and I think I could play
01:01:25but it's the shoulders what I
01:01:28throw the ball with.
01:01:29I mean he's just so frustrated
01:01:30that you know there's just not
01:01:32getting any better time of
01:01:35possession here.
01:01:36The forty niners have added for
01:01:37over 16 minutes the Cowboys only
01:01:40eleven worse that and the score
01:01:42being twenty four to seven I
01:01:44think is causing these looks on
01:01:46that Cowboy sideline and it's
01:01:48one of frustration I mean
01:01:49frustration of losing and then
01:01:52the frustration of the 49ers
01:01:54playing keep away against you.
01:01:56I think that's what the feeling
01:01:57is.
01:01:58I think that's what the
01:01:58frustration of your quarterback
01:02:01being in the clubhouse again he
01:02:12wasn't covered by Sanders and he
01:02:17was coming out of the slot
01:02:18crossing twenty six yard pickup.
01:02:20This is the thing that the that
01:02:22the forty niners wanted to do
01:02:24they wanted to move Jerry Rice
01:02:26and move him across here.
01:02:28And and that's what he does.
01:02:30You know I mean they get him on
01:02:31those crossing patterns and
01:02:33unless you're playing man to man
01:02:35you have to pass him around and
01:02:36through zones.
01:02:37And that time he went right by
01:02:39Bill Bates slip as he was going
01:02:43by.
01:02:44Here's Garbaugh to Lavelle
01:02:46touchdown Derek Lavelle Garbaugh
01:02:53to be caught in one of those
01:02:55little blitzes but the closest
01:02:57guy was Tony Tolbert to defense
01:02:59of and 19 yard touchdown pass
01:03:10from Elvis Garbaugh to Derek
01:03:11Garbaugh.
01:03:12They've been hearing so much
01:03:14about they don't have a running
01:03:15game they miss Ricky Waters and
01:03:17this I'll tell you this is one
01:03:18happy guy here Derek Lavelle but
01:03:21the closest guy to him was a
01:03:23defensive end Tony Tolbert
01:03:26that's mixing your coverage is
01:03:28up way too much Jeff Wilkins
01:03:34extra point was good.
01:03:36That is Lavelle just runs that
01:03:38pattern out of the backfield.
01:03:40And the reason you say well
01:03:41where is the closest guy to him
01:03:43well the closest guy to him was
01:03:44down in a three point stance
01:03:47thirty one seven the score in
01:03:50the championship game when San
01:03:52Francisco beat Dallas last year
01:03:53was thirty one fourteen at the
01:03:56half.
01:03:57If you're thinking back it's
01:03:59thirty one seven here and I'll
01:04:01tell you that was a heck of a
01:04:02drive.
01:04:03But you're going to see Tony
01:04:04Tolbert here.
01:04:05Here's Derek Lavelle here.
01:04:06Now watch how they're going to
01:04:08try and cover this Tolbert
01:04:09here.
01:04:10He starts up he tries to bump
01:04:12Lavelle there he misses him.
01:04:13Now once he misses him he can't
01:04:15catch him and you can't cover it
01:04:17like that.
01:04:17No I mean I mean you try and
01:04:19blitz and you take some chances
01:04:21but they but but they hit him
01:04:22right where they were.
01:04:23Now here's Tolbert here.
01:04:25He's going to come.
01:04:26Here's Lavelle here.
01:04:27Once Lavelle gets by here he
01:04:29goes right up the middle and you
01:04:31see you take some chances
01:04:32because you're blitzing you
01:04:33blitz all your linebackers.
01:04:35So therefore one of your
01:04:36defensive linemen in this game
01:04:38is going to become a linebacker
01:04:40and that was Tony Tolbert.
01:04:46Now look at the play before
01:04:47this Pat.
01:04:48There's Bill Bates he's trying
01:04:49to redirect Jerry Rice and you
01:04:51see that he fell down.
01:04:54Jerry gave him a little move.
01:04:55Bill Bates went down and Jerry
01:04:57Rice got right by him.
01:04:59That was a heck of a drive by
01:05:00the 49ers.
01:05:01Remember they got penalized on
01:05:03the kickoff back inside the 10
01:05:05and they took it all the way for
01:05:07the score.
01:05:08Kevin Williams will return the
01:05:11kick.
01:05:11Kevin Williams take it down at
01:05:13about the 36 almost broken
01:05:17Drakeford made the stop.
01:05:24Next week it's a box and seven
01:05:26there's no you know that's one
01:05:27great thing about football is
01:05:28that you don't know what's going
01:05:29to happen.
01:05:29You have to play the game.
01:05:31There is one happy guy because
01:05:33he's been living with that thing
01:05:34about Ricky Waters isn't there.
01:05:36The 49ers don't have a running
01:05:38catcher they need this they need
01:05:40that when you start getting some
01:05:43touchdowns you hit thirty one to
01:05:45seven you can shut a lot of them
01:05:46up.
01:05:47Wade Wilson going deep for Kevin
01:05:49Williams incomplete Wilson the
01:05:53quarterback because Aikman left
01:05:56with a bruised left knee and
01:05:58this is a tough job for Wade
01:05:59Wilson because one thing with
01:06:00the Cowboys and Ernie Zampezi
01:06:02his philosophy has always been
01:06:04that the starting quarterback
01:06:06gets all the plays in practice.
01:06:08Therefore that's good for the
01:06:10starting quarterback like Troy
01:06:11Aikman.
01:06:12But it also means that you
01:06:13really need an experienced
01:06:15backup because he doesn't get
01:06:17any of the offensive reps in
01:06:20practice during the week.
01:06:22Ernie Zampezi.
01:06:24Wade Wilson though a veteran if
01:06:26anyone can handle it he should
01:06:28be able to Wilson is six out of
01:06:37seven since he replaced Aikman.
01:06:39And if you're going to do that
01:06:40that's why you like that that
01:06:42veteran like Wade Wilson 11 year
01:06:44veteran up to play in the first
01:06:55half San Francisco thirty one
01:06:58Dallas seven.
01:06:58Don't forget coming up at
01:07:00halftime the Dockers halftime
01:07:02with J.B. Terry Howie and Jimmy
01:07:04scores and highlights some very
01:07:06interesting highlights from
01:07:07around the league and a very
01:07:09interesting contest right here
01:07:13with the forty niners leading
01:07:14thirty one seven Wade Wilson the
01:07:17quarterback Marquez Pope is
01:07:25telling that official on that
01:07:27side and that's the same thing I
01:07:28did before.
01:07:29How come you called it before
01:07:31and put the ball down there and
01:07:33led to a touchdown for him.
01:07:35This is more nearly interference
01:07:37than the other one but he's just
01:07:38going for position there again
01:07:40he's trying to cut Kevin
01:07:41Williams off and that's what he
01:07:43did that time and that's what he
01:07:45did the time before Deion Sanders
01:07:49joins the offensive group now and
01:07:53goes wide right now Deion Sanders
01:07:55I heard him ask Ernie Zampezi
01:07:57yesterday he said his daughter
01:07:58wanted him to run a deep one
01:08:01and he did Wade Wilson dumps it
01:08:06out to Emmitt Smith and Emmitt
01:08:09ducks under or close to first
01:08:11down yardage under Tim McDonald
01:08:14Gary Plummer was saying
01:08:15yesterday that when the Cowboys
01:08:17put Deion in on offense that the
01:08:21forty niners ought to put Jerry
01:08:22Rice in on defense and let him
01:08:23cover up Wilson takes a timeout
01:08:26the Cowboys timeout they have to
01:08:29get a second half.
01:08:32Well one left according to this
01:08:35I think I think what they'd like
01:08:37to do obviously is just get in
01:08:39position to get anything here
01:08:40even if the field goal before
01:08:41the halftime and then regroup
01:08:44and get a second half game plan
01:08:45for Wade Wilson that to me has
01:08:48to include the two stars I mean
01:08:49you have to get Michael Irvin
01:08:51involved in this game and you
01:08:53have to get Emmitt Smith more
01:08:54involved I mean those two guys
01:08:56have to make the comeback for
01:08:58the Cowboys and they've got only
01:08:59one pass that one after the
01:09:03reception he fumbled Merton
01:09:05Hanks picked it up and ran in
01:09:07for a forty niner touchdown
01:09:10there's Bill Bates here talking
01:09:11about you know that that that
01:09:13nickel play when when Bill Bates
01:09:15was in there in fact he's saying
01:09:16right there I should have given
01:09:17him a shot you see that he
01:09:18pulled for I should have given
01:09:19him a shot he was coming across
01:09:22the guy he said he should have
01:09:23given a shot was that was Jerry
01:09:24Rice running that crossing
01:09:26and he said I should have given
01:09:27him a shot I think he made Bates
01:09:30slip his Wilson sacked around the
01:09:34corner Ricky Jackson Yeah there's
01:09:37a guy who's really come to life
01:09:39last month of the season he's
01:09:41already had an interception in
01:09:42this game and you're going to
01:09:44see him from up here on top now
01:09:46now he's going against Eric
01:09:47Williams now watch him he just
01:09:49does he just runs right around
01:09:50Eric Williams and gets his at
01:09:56the end of the first half.
01:09:57He's going to hurry Wilson no
01:09:59the check complete fast and
01:10:02picked up 10 Tim McDonnell again
01:10:04made the stop clock running
01:10:09third and five they need a first
01:10:11and then a time whistles all
01:10:17over the field and markers all
01:10:20over the field it's been a quiet
01:10:21first half for Michael Irvin
01:10:23and he's going to go to the
01:10:24plate.
01:10:25He's going to go to the plate
01:10:26and he's going to go to the
01:10:27plate prior to the snap number
01:10:29eighty four offense and what
01:10:32happens when you have a guy like
01:10:33Michael Irvin and you don't get
01:10:35him involved in the game early
01:10:37sometimes they don't get
01:10:38involved in the game at all.
01:10:39I mean I've seen that happen to
01:10:41two to a lot of great ones.
01:10:42I've seen it happen to Jerry
01:10:44Rice and I can see it happening
01:10:50here to Michael Irvin that you
01:10:51go through you come out you're
01:10:52down 31 to 7 you've only caught
01:10:54one pass you fumble that you're
01:10:56your quarterback's not there.
01:10:58Jerry Rice and the other side is
01:11:00having a big game and you're
01:11:02going you know but hey but I
01:11:04thought this was my house type
01:11:06of thing where my house go
01:11:15you're going to run 10 seconds
01:11:16off the clock and then there is
01:11:18a penalty for a false start I
01:11:21believe to follow that Bob
01:11:23McElwee the false start was on
01:11:27Jay Novich at that was the
01:11:30original call but one of the
01:11:35things if you're San Francisco
01:11:37that you want to do defensively
01:11:38is take that big gun out of the
01:11:40game you want to take Michael
01:11:41Irvin out of the game and
01:11:43they've done a great job they
01:11:44have done it with different
01:11:46coverages you know part nickel
01:11:48and a half to start it was
01:11:50rushed and complete this one
01:11:55over check it wouldn't have been
01:11:56enough for a first down if he
01:11:57had caught it McDonald on the
01:11:59coverage eleven seconds left
01:12:01fourth down because those two
01:12:03corners you know we see
01:12:04McDonald make that play but
01:12:05Marquez Pope and Eric Davis and
01:12:07the other side have been playing
01:12:09excellent and they haven't let
01:12:10those wide receivers get open
01:12:12to play eleven seconds left to
01:12:24play in the first half fourth
01:12:26and eleven Dallas they drop a
01:12:30lineman out on defense Wilson
01:12:32going deep it's going to be a
01:12:35double play and that's the end
01:12:51of the first half with the score
01:12:56the San Francisco.
01:12:57Well here's the last play the
01:12:58alley you play and I think
01:13:01there's still one second left
01:13:03because yeah there'll be an
01:13:04interception and that change of
01:13:06possession so the the forty
01:13:08niners are going to get one play
01:13:12Merton Hanks with the second
01:13:13interception of the day one
01:13:16second left these fans above
01:13:19that one second left are in
01:13:21shock they don't know what to do
01:13:24you know one thing don't do
01:13:25don't go home right talk about a
01:13:33guy running over with confidence
01:13:34at the moment Elvis Gerber who's
01:13:36done one heck of a job.
01:13:38Thirty one seven San Francisco
