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

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
