That's past it that moon just threw there Was if it was on target it would have been intercepted he threw the ball look like he almost threw the ball away to avoid mazes interception That was tremendous coverage by Martin Mayhew I don't think they've thrown the ball more than once or twice to Duncan all day long and later right in the middle of the fourth quarter here comes move back to Duncan and watch this by Mayhew he catches up the ball is hanging again Duncan had to slow down. Mayhew caught up. Now it's third and 10. Martin Mayhew one of a host of excellent pickups on Plan B by Charlie Cassellou began his career with Buffalo and moon pass was intercepted let's see what the ruling is. Mayhew feels he picked it off it was intended for Duncan and yes he has well again we're going to get a pretty good look at it here here's moon trying to throw the ball on the outside to Duncan Mayhew is there does he have it no no no no no no this is not an interception it's going to be a punt fourth down get your offense off the field you can't give him the interception the ball hits the ground watch between his arms you see the ball coming down to the ground this looks good right here but not right there the ball is on the ground yeah well when they get it upstairs send the punt team out a couple of significant plays by Martin Mayhew first breaking up that long bomb intended for Curtis Duncan and then once again providing the coverage on Duncan he has seven interceptions last year among the NFL leaders this is first season out of Florida State and they are taking a look at that play as you said look to be obvious when you get a second or third look at it yeah if it's if both of his arms were together and there was no chance for the ball to hit the ground then you can give him the interception but his arms were apart the ball hits the ground what a great effort though look at the effort look at his arms watch how wide apart they are see here now here's where the ball hits the ground had his arms bent together and he had his elbows tucked in they would have given him the interception and Martin knows that yes he does but it's not going to say anything about it he wants the guy upstairs to say it so they are determining the spot of the football and then Greg Montgomery will punt Martin try to fool everybody here's where you don't want to kick the ball to this man and that's where you're going to have to do it you're going to have to now here's where you don't want to kick the ball to this man Mr. Mitchell get the ball out of bounds somewhere but don't let him return it and give him great field position again although to this point he has been held in check fifth punt of the day by Montgomery now in Houston loneliness is being a punter at a run and shoot offense not much opportunity to punt only thirty four times last year for Greg Montgomery and sixteen games he did average forty five per punt the field of it took a hard hit Steve Jackson with the stop a forty four yard punt by Montgomery NBC Sports coverage of the National Football League is brought to you by the new Mazda Mazda it just feels right by Coors Life the silver bullet is the right beer now by Liberty Mutual we are our customers advocate at Liberty Mutual because we understand the costs involved and by Pete the heavy duty engine Eddie Breeze nine minutes and nine seconds to go in this fourth quarter around the waist of Haywood Jeffries that's not a good sign on Detroit Buffalo pulling away once again San Francisco maintaining that seven nothing advantage Jim Breach kicking his third field goal of the game for the twenty three twenty one leading Green Bay moving in front of the jets Green Bay next week home in Milwaukee for Buffalo ripping on this roll out and then watch Art Monk on the top of the screen now watch what he does he goes out settles himself looks for the marker he's sitting right there heads up play that's the third or at least three times that we know of this game that he has done that to just get enough to get the first down to keep the drive alive for a first team six along with Marcus Robertson or his binder bouncing back from last week on 10 carries only 11 yards here Ricky Irvins came on and had that terrific second half here's where the Redskins they go to three tight ends and they they'll throw from this formation but what they want to do now is control the clock they're getting down to seven minutes to go in in the fourth quarter all they want to don't make a dumb mistake don't expose the ball because they've had some turnovers already in this ball game second down and six and a penalty penalty marker down Biner stopped by Smith if that's holding on a running plate that is a dumb play this is something you don't want to do you've got a drive going you got second down and about seven holding number 85 in yard repeat second down that's the tight end Don Warren this is the things that you know when you start going gray these are the things that make you go gray as a coach if you're in a drive everything is working you're running the ball you're picking up anywhere between four and six yards to carry you're throwing short passes to pick up first down and then you get yourself into a situation now where it's second down and about 17 Paul the Redskins still going with Addison Gremis to tackle with the Jays to Kobe shaking up earlier another out to the 45 yard line stopped by Richard Johnson another holding penalty it's another 10 yarder number 69 10 yards still second down and once again at the right guard Mark Fleur I mean they again you don't know how costly until the end of the game these things are but you're in a situation now that you're you know you get the ball back you stop Houston one of the more powerful offenses in professional football and you're on a move you pick up a first down you've got second down and about six and now you're looking at second down and 26 actually a powerful offense well they have their handcuff time the possession is certainly contributed to it they have not allowed you to have the football just under six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter well Paul here it is the xerox sports facts and our question and remember don't give the answer right away with joe montana injured which active NFL quarterback has the best starting record can i give a hint let me give a hint plays with the red skin we are talking this time within the framework of football okay i'm giving a hint place you into the national hockey league last time there it is you know you see the influence of joe gibbs with ripping on that particular play here's ripping trapped he's running Childress has chased him they're sending a linebacker up to nail him and he knows he can't complete the ball because everybody's covered he throws the ball away heads up Ernest Gibbons back at his 20 Washington suspecting that the Oilers might go after them they had been laying back earlier a 40-yard pot Houston back to the offense with 504 remaining barb albert paul maguire back at rfk stadium in washington for checking the houston offensive line they've been doing some shuffling here in the second half dave williams is now playing left tackle d-sack filler number 70 is playing right tackle and doug dawson is playing right guard number 66 and they start out from the 21 this hits an offensive lineman i think it hit d-sack filler number 70 and what they want is in throwing the ball away intentional grounding because stokes had an illegal forward pass the ball hit number 70 the offense penalties off the down second down now i see here here's the throw number 70 is in your screen now moon is in the grass but there's not another man there to hit him so they won't call in the grass but you know the funny part about this penalty it's an incompleted pass right they say loss of downs well no kidding and they shouldn't there be a penalty involved in there at least a five-yard penalty that's right houston was not really hurt by this at all hey if it's the ball thrown in the ground or hits the lineman it goes down in the ground it's incomplete they lose it down anyway it's a second and ten from the 21 tony jones flip to the right side now moon getting the protection through hill and he has the first down andre collins got him out well danny copeland now knows what it's like from the other other end of it here comes drew hill watch he's just going to sit down about the 26-yard line now he's going to make a quick move inside couple takes oh excuse me that's darryl green takes it and he comes back to the outside and they pick up a first down what a super move nine catches 75 yards for hill went for 15 brad edwards was all over earnest gibbons you know they had success with throwing to the back coming out of the backfield who was lorenzo white with screens or just getting him out of there that time the redskins ran a bliss you've got alex pickett back there who can catch the ball he's an excellent hand don't forget about that guy if you're going to have him in the backfield go ahead and use them at the time he had to step up for one of the blitz men which he did a good job but i also wouldn't forget about him almost intercepted by aj johnson looked to be some miscommunication well earnest gibbons number 81 marvis just walking back and there was not a soul near him he was gone if moon sees it he got excellent blocking pickett came over and blocks monty colman the linebacker did a good job gibbons was gone right down the hash mark and not a soul near him the houston oilers the high-powered oilers of the run and shoot have not scored a touchdown and the redskins defense has allowed one touchdown or less in six games 13-6 washington with four minutes to go in the game maris and a power walker is down once
