Dangerous part of the old counter play where the two offside linemen pull around that that play was designed to go around right end
Ricky urbans took it all the way back around the left end and picks up four yards with it
That's the kind of freedom the backs have in that slow developing play if the defense over pursues a talented guy like urbans
Frank's takes it if Frank takes it all the way to the back, so that's his strong suit to the cutbacks second and six
They love ripping again
Beautifully timed out
Is all right to beautifully timed out and horribly defense by Denver he'd be Henderson
Yeah, that's a combination of good work by Washington and
Very very subpar work by the Broncos Gary Clarke has beaten the best over and over
One of the great receivers in the game today. Look at the protection
Grip-and-hand this one is a tight spiral all the way dead on stride Henderson
No chance to get in the play and Henderson unfortunately tied one-on-one with one of the great receivers in the game
And they'll strike up hands with the Redskins one more time at RFK 630 to go first half 24 to 3 Redskins
Well the Bronco secondary getting picked apart
It happened last week in Kansas City. They scored a couple wide open touchdowns on play action as well
Lowell Miller's check is fielded a yard into the end zone by the rookie Arthur Marshall
And he brings it back out to the 20
Or and bowls in on the tackle and let's take a look at that last touchdown
Here are nine people for the Denver Broncos up in close proximity to the line of scrimmage now
Let's go ahead and roll this there's the play action and if we could stop it right about here
Look at this pocket look at this this guy's on the ground
Everyone else is accounted for two guys in limbo three guys in limbo and you've left
Henderson all alone. I mean if you are gonna have that many people on the line of scrimmage
You better put more pressure on the quarterback than the Denver Broncos did that time on Mark Rippon or that will happen to you
over and over again
The Broncos were a team that has now scored two touchdowns in
14 quarters they've been unable to get any running game going this season to speak of
coming into the game Gaston green averaging a paltry two point six yards per carry and
Here they are down
by 21 on the road there's
all places in RFK and look at that one point six yards per run
Getting cold on the Broncos sideline in second and eight
Now now we'll make it one point two yards for good
Now let's have to run the draw if you're Denver because you usually are having somebody hanging in there
As a spy when you hand off the draw the spy of course for John Elway when you hand off the draw that man
Is going to fall into the draw?
Dangerous threat, but he can't do it all sack 19 times coming into the night
Third and eight
All the way from the gun after looking all fans Johnson he goes the other way for Shannon
Sidney Johnson was the defender
Well that was either one of the great plays of all-time or pass interference
But he timed that out beautifully it didn't get the flag
Sidney Johnson in there in the nickel making perfect contact apparently
You've got two men back Brian Mitchell on his flank by Desmond Howard remember the two of them
hooked up against Atlanta as Horan juggles the snap and then gets away a poor kick
But that'll have to come back and a flag goes down
Well his when he juggles the ball like that his guys leave early two flags. Yeah, I mean you have ineligible men downfield
They leave before he kicks it
So that's one of them. Yep
There may be multiple fouls here. In fact, there are three flags on the grass right now
Well, if they're not big ones, they might want to take the football. Meanwhile, let's go back and see
The about the non interference goal here on Sidney Johnson
Hmm, okay, that's pretty good. Yeah, that is pretty good. And when you look at it from that angle
You did not see the contact by Johnson and and their bodies touch. No doubt their bodies touch
But you don't see it being a jarring
number 31
Kicking team
Holden
Number 20 receiving team during the kick the penalties offset repeat fourth down
Al Voight Mays
For Washington the recipient of that penalty
So a break for Horan because the kick was a bad one. And again, you've got Mitchell and
Howard both dropped
Howard both dropping back to accept the punch
And a much better kick this time
Taken at the 30 yard line and run back to the 40 yard line
By Howard on the called back kick
I guess we had a heck of a hit take place down a field number 21 there in the oranges Lilo Lang. Whoa
That's Danny Copeland of the Redskins
That is as violent a hit as you will ever see in the NFL. Whoa
The Postal Service would like to present two-day priority mail
That's delivery in just two days of up to two pounds for just two dollars and ninety cents
Remember two two days two pounds two ninety
Two-day priority mail from your postal service Lilo Lang on the right Danny Copeland sitting on the bench there on the left
And we're gonna take another look at that because believe me
Anybody who's ever played the game appreciates a hit like that. Even the recipient
I know that sounds strange, but it's true. That's strange to me
There's Biner going nowhere he's tackled behind the line by Brooks. Well, it's a good clean hit. Nobody gets hurt again
Watch Copeland come in from the left Lang never saw him coming
First thing that hits the ground are your shoulder blades and watch what happens though
Nobody gets hurt and now this is after the second kick Lang is looking for Copeland
He's looking for a truck. But now why he's looking for Copeland very seizing and he always says nice it I said nice it
Fortunately, you can still get it up
And he says next time it'll be you
So after Lilo Lang gets laid low here's Biner
Up to the 39 yard line Lilo laid low. I think that was the noise he was hearing when he was hit Lilo Lang
Friggin and Mecklenburg in on the last hit third down 345 to go and here comes Lang in
In their nickel and dime. I know there's a lot of people out there that think I'm crazy for talking about
We got one right next to you. But player Frank
I never lived to play that game to get hit like that. Oh, it's all right. He's all right
Lilo's fine. I had that in my past as a matter of fact
Well, you got hurt and that's the only reason we're having a little fun with that because nobody got hurt
Obviously if someone would have been hurt we wouldn't be laughing about it
It's lying up the line of scrimmage
Third down and 11
Ripping off the reverse roll throws the catches made by Art Monk
That's his second of the night. He shorted the first down and Monk who has now caught a pass in 137 consecutive games
Keeps moving in on Steve Largent. He needs four to tie Largent for the all-time reception mark and five to surpass him
An incredible athlete out of White Plains High School played against our executive producer of ABC Sports Jack O'Hara
Jack was a tight end linebacker and he recalls his days back in 1973 going as Art Monk
He went actually as a running back up to Syracuse and had over a thousand yards rushing and he is on the threshold of immortality
I wonder if Jack ever got hit like Lilo. Might be why he went into television
Kelly Goodburn, that's what happened for television. His first punt of the night goes into the end zone for a touchback
And the Broncos will get it with 236 remaining in the first half
And very much in need of putting seven points on the board before the half. They're down 24 to 3
They've been unable to generate anything offensively now for three weeks outside of the last two minutes against Kansas City
And facing a most formidable task tonight at RFK Stadium in our nation's capital, Spirit of Akron
And the sky is above. Long time home of the Redskins that Washington would like to move
There's been no movement on a prospective new stadium in Virginia that's hung up right now for the moment
Nothing happening
That's the problem in RFK when you're on the road. That's the problem in Denver too if you're the opposition
First and 10 and going nowhere is Rivers on a first down play. He is stopped by Tim Johnson
Second and 10. Broncos in this first half, a punt after the first possession and a field goal
An interception, a fumble and two more punts
That's pretty
Second and 10. Elway throws. The catch is made by the stretching Shannon Sharp. That's enough for a first down
He stays in bounds and that's going to take us to the two minute warning
If you're looking for bright spots for Denver, the emergence of Shannon Sharp has to be one of them
Good looking player
The capital on this Monday night in our nation's capital, there is the posse
Monk tonight, two catches. Sanders has one, Clark has two
The three senators from this team. A lot of talent there
And to think they've got a Heisman Trophy winner waiting in the wing
Desmond Howard. They don't use that four wide receiver much but you kind of think that once Howard reported very late
There's a chance to work in. They could be very effective with a four wide receiver offense
First down from the 31 and Elway gets sacked by Fred Stokes at the 24 yard line
That's three sacks tonight for the Redskins
And Reeves says he wants to time out. Stokes blowing right by the rookie Russell Freeman
They just keep going and there's a terrible looking play but that's an incomplete pass, a little shovel pass
Intended for Sharp and since it was a forward pass, it's incomplete. Second to third down
They don't even block Fred Stokes. Fred Stokes just smothers John Elway and watch the left side of your screen
They don't even block him. The left tackle, number 68, Russ Freeman blocks down and Stokes is untouched
Third down and 17 with 1.47 remaining in the half
Elway goes back to the other side, hits Shannon Sharp but he is stopped short of the first down by Martin Mayhew
Under designed play with Shannon Sharp. Blocking at the line of scrimmage, drifting out into the flat
Elway rolling far to his left, looking downfield and then firing back to Sharp and the Redskins were all over
And the Redskins are going to take a time out because they're going to get the ball back after the punt
Another play by Mayhew, he was not fooled
We have 1.32 remaining in the first half and the Redskins have two timeouts left
21 point Washington lead and as far as you look at Jack Kent Cooke, the owner of the Washington Redskins and the former owner of the Los Angeles Lakers
He's himself on the monitor. Yeah, owns a number of horses
Pretty happy man tonight
Don't think about the Broncos, they're about finished when it comes to coming east. 30 to nothing in Philadelphia, 24-3 thus far in D.C. tonight
Haram's kick takes a Denver bounce and rolls dead at the 23 yard line
Washington has it with two timeouts and a minute 20 left on the clock
Coming up at the half tonight, stay with us because Deon Sanders will be joining us
And we'll talk about his day yesterday and his immediate future with the Falcons and the Braves and you know what he did yesterday
And look at Art Monk as well
