One way come back now here comes back the other way now watch for us. Hey right there
He got that block which allowed Shepard to get down to the end
Once you're watched right now. He's got to get Pratsky down. See this right here
He takes him down and now you get off to the race all week long
They were making a big deal about the the reverses to Henry Shepard to the to Shepard
Now they give me old double-dipper given the double reverse
Burst and goal at the two-yard line and this crowd on his feet an impressive first drive
Terry Allen walks in for the touchdown
You won't get a drive
Executed any better than that Allen puts the Redskins in front or called better
I mean you got to go right to the sidelines and Pat North Turner right on the bat because that was very well called
And then all the calling that you can do don't matter still comes now watch Trey Johnson right inside
Nice job by Galbraith right here Trey Johnson. You just blow a hole in that right side boy
That's six points very easily
Watch Galbraith stay on Bratskin and here comes Trey Johnson so he gets rid of his blows him right out
Terry Allen right inside Scott blended with the extra point and the Redskins lead
Seven to nothing Terry Allen who has now scored eight touchdowns this year
The Giants as a team have scored only six

Redskins use a little over four minutes on an opening drive to take a seven to nothing lead over the Giants
Leslie Shepard a big play a 30-yard double reverse nine plays 68 yards and that is the first
Defensive touchdown given up by the Giants in 35 drive
Armani Tumor the rookie from Michigan returning the kickoff and
Goes out of bounds. There's a penalty flag down the referee is Dick Antak
There he is
You know, it's interesting right before that touchdown I saw a hand tack looking at the play clock and he was rolling
I noticed that it went down to zero holding
Holding number 47 during the return
Will penalize ten yards first down Robbie Young holding and so that's going to set the Giants back
Yeah
So you're watching and you see the play clock go to zero and I saw hand tack rolled it again and in the interim
We found out that the officials thought that they start the clock too soon
So they went back and gave them the time and allowed them to run the touchdown
Dave Brown sacked eight times last week 26 on the year the most in the NFL
That was against the Eagles Lance Smith the 12-year veteran starting at left guard replacing Rob Zadiska
Hampton Charles way the blocker Callaway Lewis the wide receivers and Howard Cross the tight end
The Giants start with two wide receivers first down on the 14
Rodney Hampton looking for something right and Hampton brings it out to the 18-yard line
Redskins defensively
Remember they've allowed the fewest points in the NFL coming into this game Rich Owens and Sean Gilbert
But William Gaines and Tony Woods in for Sterling Palmer and Mark Boutte on that left side
Martha's Patton Rod Stevens and Ken Harvey are the linebackers secondary playing extremely well the ageless Daryl Green Stanley Richard Daryl Morrison
and Tom Carter
second and six at the 18
Tyrone Wheatley
One of the running backs and Wheatley gets the handoff
Wheatley turning the corner has the first down
And extra yardage as Wheatley brings it out beyond the 35-yard line where Rod Stevens
Makes the play a game of 19 for Wheatley. Yeah
They need that running game because the running game sets up their passing game and it gives them confidence
And that's what they don't have right now, particularly Dave Brown
I watch this New York Giant football team and I see Dave Brown doesn't have confidence in the sideline
The sideline doesn't appear to have confidence in Dave Brown
And so what do you have to do?
You have to go back to basics and again run the football and they say that's what the Giants always do
But they have to do it and be patient and stay with it all game long. That was the second longest run from Skrivitz
This year by the Giants who have a first down on their 37. The pitch to Rodney Hampton
And a fine play made in the secondary by Daryl Green. He's amazing
I think Daryl Green is playing at an all-pro level and you know, frankly
I think he's played like that the last three years, but he's been stuck here and they haven't been getting any wins
Nobody's talked about him. Daryl Green has elevated his play and the play of this defense in the secondary
Because Tom Carter on the other side has watched Daryl Green and said man if he can do it in his 14th
I better be able to do it now
There is Carter who picked off a Dave Brown pass in their first meeting. Loss of two, second down and 12
And here's Brown
On a play-action pass completes it to Thomas Lewis and Lewis brings it out to the
44-yard line short by about four yards Stanley Richard made the play on Lewis
You know, I'm looking at and this is what well how many minutes have been gone
It's down to eight and a half minutes to go in this quarter. You can see 840
There's a lot of guys slipping out there. It's kind of surprised me
Like I said the field looked like it was in pretty good shape, but I went down there grand and I'm in my old
Flopping sneakers, but I checked it out and the ground was pretty solid, but guys are slipping right now
Third down and three. There's some of the sod that has come up. Ball at the 44
Three wide receivers in for the Giants
Pressure on Brown and the pass
Dropped by Aaron Pierce. Pierce was in position to make the cast but there's a flag down at the 40-yard line
Well, I tell you something so the Washington Redskins they did right there as Dave Brown is taking RFK out of his helmet
Prior to the snap
False start number 78 the offense and I was great the bishop the left tackle who had his problems last week against Philadelphia
You're gonna watch number 78 right there bishop, but I also want you to watch what they do afterwards
See you got the jump
This is what you have to do to Dave Brown early
If you're a defender a defender you have to wax him and you have to hit him
And you have to let him know that he's going to be there and that's his badge of honor right there
And any any quarterback is going to get happy feet, but he's been having some problems with his confidence in the pocket
And you saw how many sacks 15 more than half of the sacks
Of Dave Brown have come on third down. They've got a third and eight
And Brown slipped and he goes down again and that was Dexter Nottage. That's on Dave Brown
I'm gonna tell you something Chris Callaway was wide open to the middle of the field. Nothing there Brown held it a little too long
Oh, so another sack and another sack on third down and that'll bring a fourth down
I want you to watch Callaway now this trying to take away the inside
But he gives him a double move and turns down green around. Look at this. Nobody there
Now I want you to watch up front
Here's it now. Yes way Callaway makes it right. You've got to get rid of that ball
You've got to stand in there know you're going to get hit and throw the football down
Mike Horan with the kick and Brian Mitchell
Mitchell running up to meet it and the ball takes a bounce
And it is down by the guy they think that hit the back of Darrell Morrison
Not not i'm gonna say it goes the other way, but the Giants jumped on it right away
Mitchell stayed away from it. Looked like Morrison was blocking
And they're questioning whether it hit him or not. It'll be the Redskins possession
Following a 37-yard kick. So the giant offense once again in and out in a hurry
Watch you see the ball right there Darrell Morrison is blocking Mo Douglas right here and it flops away
Just ever so close but Conrad Hamilton 41 does the right thing if there's any ever question any question jump right away
That was a close call for the Redskins first down on the 31 Farad has the pass batted down at the line
And that might have been Robert Harris
But right now for a McDonald's game break, let's return to James Brown at our Fox Television Center
Dick Dallas is at it earlier
Hershel Walker 89 yards in the opening kickoff return that set up this Aikman to Smith 9-yard td play
Morton Anderson kicked a 30-yard field goal 57 consecutive inside of 30. It's now 7-3 back to Dick and Matt
That one's going to get ugly. I believe
East Atlanta has three on there. Here's Terry Allen
Allen they're getting a couple off the left side
Now the one thing that has been consistent for New York has been their defense
They've gotten some pretty good effort. I think collectively they're learning about each other, but they're playing pretty well
And Cory Whitmer played well last week. Strahan, Philippe Sparks has been like Daryl Green on the other side
He's played well week in and week out
They need to regroup after that opening drive and stop them right here
Problem is the defense has been on the field all too much number of snaps they've had to handle
It's been amazing. Yeah, almost like a whole nother game
It's something like that
Down and eight Farad's pass up the middle caught by Leslie Shepard with a fine catch on a bullet throw
And a first down in the giant territory a gain of 26 with Mo Douglas making the play
All kinds of time to throw that football
And if you can pass protect and you have Gus Farad who's learning your offense
You can really take advantage of Joey steps and throws nobody even sniffed him
And the ball's right in the middle of that defense
Again, they want to take advantage of the young safeties back there
Particularly Ellsworth and he got right to the middle of the field and Farad really impressed on that drive toward the end of the game
In New England where the Redskins got a field goal last week
First down at the 43 and the Giants here's Terry Allen going up the middle and nothing doing a gain of about two
That's all as six minutes remain in the first quarter the Redskins lead seven to nothing scoring on a very impressive first
possession of the game
You know the one guy I watched who I think has really also played
pretty well
Been Keith Hamilton and Hamilton is limping off the field
And what he's given that New York Giant football team is big plays, but he has been inconsistent
He needs to be more consistent
Of course with an ankle is going to be pretty tough
But inside at times boy, he'll get a good speed up inside
He'll be able to be physical and then other times he'll do just the opposite
But that being said though, I think he's played pretty decent and the Hamilton will be replaced by Ray Agnew
Who was out three games with a dislocated elbow?
So I do number 93 replaces Hamilton and right tackle
second and eight
And here is Terry Allen going off the right side
He gets to the 38 yard line and the Redskins will need at least five maybe six yards with
The third down coming up Michael Strahan makes the tackle on Terry Allen
You know, this is one of those games and speaking to north turner prior to it that he said, you know
I'm a little worried about this
Because the Giants can't run the football
They have been playing good defense
They said frankly our guys have been feeling pretty good about themselves and we almost set up for a let down
Washington already with a huge edge in total yards over the Giants 99 to 23
35 from the 38
Good protection for Barrett and the pass is intercepted by Percy Ellsworth
And the rookie from the University of Virginia
Stuffs out a Redskins threat and brings it down to the 31 of the scan. That kid has big plays in him
He had it in college. He went un-grafted. He said I can make plays
The Redskins thought they could take advantage of him today, but Ellsworth says nuh-uh
Okay, i'm gonna play this scheme and i'm gonna read the same thing
That the quarterback reads he tried to hit back underneath to brian mitchell. Ellsworth saw it the whole way
You're gonna watch him. I'm gonna step right inside
That's the old robber position to stand inside and he read Barrett and just robbed that baby as it came off
The pass was intended for Mitchell. So Percy Ellsworth. He started last week for Tito Wooten with a big 33 yard
Return following an interception and the Giants have the ball
First down on the 30 of the Redskins
Brown steps up and his pass is batted down
William games now that time he had a lot of time to throw that
Only four turnovers for the Redskins coming into this game the fewest in the nfl now
They have five with two other pretty successful clubs
Is now well, that's what for rod had been doing so well, just don't mess it up
You know be efficient
Don't throw the interceptions pick your spots
That time ellsworth took it the other way
Now, let's see if the giant offense can manage anything in redskins territory. They have a second attempt
Here's Rodney hampton
Hampton gets about four yards. We'll bring a third down rod stevens the middle linebacker on the play
Hampton who had his longest game of the year the first meeting between these teams 25 yards a giant stadium
And it all starts up front with that offensive line now this week they took lance smith
13 year vet and they put him in at left guard the reason they did that was they say experience but
He's not going to make any mistakes. He's one of those guys who's going to always be right
He may not be physically as gifted as the guy ahead of him
But he's not going to mess it up. Many large gossi in a third wide receiver third and three
And brown goes down
And what this does is put in peril the giant's field goal range dexter. Not it's
Making the play not it's made to tackle but the guy who made the play was ken harvey off the corner
And then the other thing is at one point you have to fight to get open
And right now look nobody's there gossi up top on turner
And then inside carter and then harvey makes him step up inside and then not just right there to take it away
But if your receivers aren't getting open, it's
