Can't throw it anywhere and that sack knocked the Giants out of field goal range. And so Mike Horan will have to punt
And the kick
Goes into the end zone touchback and the Redskins will take over on the 20th. So the Redskins defense stops the Giants
offense seven to nothing
Dick Stockton and Matt Millen here at rfk stadium with 340 remaining in the first quarter the Giants
Offense could not manage any points after Percy Ellsworth's interception
Gave them the ball in Redskins territory and now the skids take over on the 21st and 10th
Leading seven to nothing
Terry Allen
So it's about a yard, you know, you saw Dan Reeves with those pictures and i'm watching he walked right over to his receivers
And here's why look at one point you have to fight to get open
Look inside Turner and Carter right on top of the receivers
Then on the other side you had Chris Callaway with Darrell Green and he doesn't get open
And then Dawsey who's working on Turner man-to-man? I mean you have to fight you got to get a point and get open now
The other part to this is you have to call the right routes when you're getting pummeled up front
Second and nine and good pressure to flag down as Bharat got knocked down by Harris and Strayhan
Robert Harris gave a little bit extra there at the end it looked like and we will have roughing the passer
Call against the Giants, you know watch now the ball is going to be thrown and here comes Harris inside and Strayhan hits him in the chest
And that's what it was now. They give you defense rubbing the passer number 92
15 yards first down now. It used to be that they'd give you two steps now
What they're doing is as soon as that throwing motion stopped you have to start pulling off
Strayhan hit him in the chest and that's and then they're going to call it
Don't forget the referee's job is to protect that quarterback and if he sees anything that looks unnecessary
He's going to call and it's worked around the league this year. You haven't had much of that. You're right
First down on the 36 play action and Bharat with time
Completes the pass to Henry Ellard and Ellard with a first down
In the giant territory a gain of 16 yards and the strong safety
Jesse Campbell made the play. Yeah, the picture is worth a thousand words. Just watch and there's nobody near
I mean he could get back there and read anything he wants nobody even close to him when you have that much time
You can run a crossing route crossing routes are the toughest things to defend
But it takes time up front to get it done and that that offensive line is playing very well right now
And the Redskins with a 65 to minus two edge in passing
First down Ellard looking right going left and it completes another pass to Henry Ellard
Ellard with eight passes and 152 yards last week
Looking like he wants to top that in the first quarter and this one's on farad
I mean farad if you watch him comes down. He looks to the right. He draws everything
I want you to watch farad's head watch where he looks first over there. All right safety move over
I mean even a pump that's going to clear things for Henry. Ellard right down the slot because of this little pump
See this right there. The safety moves inside Wooten and that opened it up and he was able to set it in there
One AR pick up for Ellard who has three passes for 58 yards
And Terry Ellard finds an opening and Ellard or Ellard gets to about the 20-yard line and a big gain on first down of about eight yards
Tito Wooten making the stop
And this first quarter has been a total domination by the Redskins despite the fact
That the one turnover has been committed by Washington. You know the one thing I'm going to go back to it again North Turner
Is calling a heck of a game. There's one thing about knowing your offense
But there's another thing about knowing when to call and that's what he does. Well, he has great instincts and timing
second and two
Terry Allen first down Redskins and out of bounds
Oh, and did I also mention that he had some good football players? Yeah, good idea. Like this guy right here Terry. I'll tell you
Yeah, exactly
And one's a function of the other
But what a pickup Terry Allen was for this Washington Redskin team
You know up in Minnesota. They said, ah, you know, we don't know we got a young guy in Robert Smith
We're gonna have him in the football. Terry, you know, he coming off those knee surgeries, but
I gotta tell you something. This guy is a balanced man
Because he has a chip on either shoulder and as a result the ball control story and the Redskins favor
First down at the 14-yard line
Okay, and Allen stopped by Corey Whitmer who makes a good play. Whitmer was outstanding in the losing cause against the Eagles last
Summer. Yeah, and I think he's getting better. That's what I like about Whitmer. You know, he's 6'3 about
255 a former defensive lineman and he's really the first time he played linebacker was with the Giants and he said his head was spinning
But he's starting to get a feel for it
What I really like when he is very aggressive when he's aggressive at the point
He's the best that time he just ran through the block of the fullback and made the play
15 seconds running remaining in the first quarter second down 11 at the 15-yard line
And Allen and a
Playmate Strahan got a hand on him and that should end the first quarter and it does
So we've completed one here at rfk stadium the Redskins lead the Giants seven to nothing
Let's take a look at the degree hot rookies from week seven
Houston's Eddie George around for a hundred nine yards and the Oilers went over Atlanta Miami middle linebackers
Zach Thomas had 11 tackles in a sack and an interception in the Dolphins went over Buffalo and Baltimore Ravens linebacker
Ray Lewis
He had 11 tackles and one sack in the Ravens lost to the Colts each week degree will track the hottest rookies
From the NFL about time they got to the defensive side of the ball. I knew you were worried about that
We'll get to them third down
And 10 the screen to Brian Mitchell good blocking for Mitchell. He's at the five and down to about the two
Instead I say who won't get to him though
Is that defensive front of the New York Giants because again a lot of time to throw
And when you have a tight end like Jamie Ash you're working on your best pass rusher and he gets that job done
Then you're gonna have problems now a tight end should never be a defensive end ever. That's a mismatch
And you get that much time and then you find a you know get big Trey Johnson all
315 pounds of them out there. He sets up first and goal from the one
night play of the drive first and goal
And Terry Allen is in for his second touchdown
Well Allen
Had a string of touchdowns and 10 straight games broken last week against New England
He has come back before the home fans and have scored two touchdowns here to give the Redskins a 13 to nothing lead
This time they're gonna run right behind that left side with Trey Johnson
Here comes big Bob doll 75 and that was on Terry Allen Allen knows it's supposed to go outside
So we wait for the flow the backers to clear and he comes right back up inside
surgery on two needs both knees for Terry Allen and he has come back to be a
Tremendous mainstay and running back for the Redskins
Scott Blandon for the extra point the kick is good and the Redskins have opened up a 14 to nothing lead
over the New York Giants
Early here in the second quarter
Well tonight the fall classic begins on Fox the World Series game one from Yankee Stadium at 7 p.m
Eastern 4 p.m. Pacific the Atlanta Braves the defending world champions against the New York Yankees

Welcome back to RFK Stadium General Colin Powell in
Enjoying the game here at RFK Stadium capacity crowd has seen the Redskins jump out in front 14 to nothing
to Terry Allen touchdowns now the Giants
begin from the 22
Dave Brown gets ground and a screen pass to Rodney Hampton
Hampton heads up field and gets a good game on first down and right now for a McDonald's game break
Let's return to James Brown at RFK Stadium
Good game on first down and right now for a McDonald's game break. Let's return to James Brown at our Fox television center
Big Terry Allen has two touchdowns in your game. Guess what?
So does this guy Emmett Smith as he powers across with number two today
Dallas on top of Atlanta 14 to 3 that in the second back to RFK did stop it and bub
You know how he's around when that name comes out
And how he is around make no mistake second down and for
Give it to Hampton
Close to first down yardage Martha's patent making the tackle and they spotted maybe about a yard short
You see right down here only ten plays today
Then look up here on 13 minutes to go in the second quarter
This New York Giants football team is not good at catching up
They have to be a team that remains balanced and relies in the running game to get him through
They do however want to stand third and shorts and that's what they have right now. They have only one first down thus far
They're down in two on their 30
And here's Wheatley and he stopped after 30. He might have lost a half a yard on the play. Sean Gilbert's the guy who got through
Sean Gilbert from that defensive tackle position
Working on Lance Smith came back inside and then forced that play and has paid great dividends since the deal that the Redskins made
With the Rams for the number six pick in the draft Gilbert has really played a major role in the resurgence of the Redskins defense
I think the Rams have played a major role in the resurgence of a couple of teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers and and Washington
All right
Get away and Brian Mitchell goes back a great punt by Horan
Inside the five that will be down by the Giants and around the five yard line. That was a sensational kick by Horan
64 yards to put the Redskins in a hole
Watch Sean Gilbert with a quick move around Brian Williams and then over here Ken Harvey really makes the play now
Gilbert will make the great athletic move Harvey comes back inside which forces the back to stay in and then Gilbert can make the tack
That's good team defense
Sean Gilbert boy, I immediately now I haven't seen him on what five weeks as soon as I saw him
I can tell the difference in his body
He's been working with Dan Riley in the weight room
Who I think is the best strength coach in the league and he's really physically changed it. You work with Dan Riley, you would know
First down for the Redskins on the six following the great punt by Horan
And the give is to Terry Allen who doesn't get much
Keith Hamilton back in the air after suffering the sprained left knee and the Redskins with their first three possessions two touchdowns sandwiched around
Auguste-Ferrat interception
And then again, it's the fast start you can see 80 yards 68 yards
I mean they're putting there's some big plays in there as well
But this guy's been mixing his play calling up very well, and I think he has this giant defense off-pounds
Barack plus far has completed six of nine for 98 yards one interception second and 11
Play fake from the end zone for looking for a receiver and gets rid of it and it's caught great catch made by
Mark Logan out of the backfield and
Just before Perot would have been nailed for a safety
Yeah, but I can tell you something time to throw but Philippi Sparks really did a nice job of coverage
Now if they go with the play action lots of time you're looking he's looking for Ellen looking looking
It's not there still has time to come off as he's getting hit by Cedric Jones
He gets the ball out, but this is all on
Philippi Sparks Sparks makes this play
Cedric Jones the number one pick for the Giants in there on the defensive line third and seven
And the handoff is to Brian Mitchell first forward does not get the first down. However
and the
Redskins will have to kick it away as Jesse Armstead and Mo Douglas and Nicol back makes a play
forcing the Redskins to kick
That was a big defensive stop for the tonight really is that they could probably get some pretty good fuel position right now
It's a money tumor who had the big touchdown a week ago
Has an opportunity here deep in their own?
Redskins own territory has a chance to make it another big play Tuber has returned two punts for touchdowns this year
And this is Matt Turks first part of the game. He has been
Started a rain and a high kick
Around the midfield part goes out of bounds and the Giants will have good field position as the showers have begun here at RFK Stadium
