Michael Westbrook in the lineup comes left out of the backfield. This is james jenkins the second tight end. They talk to alan
And he uses the jenkins block
To come around the left side of the 35 yard line
The questions are still there for the carolina panthers. They have not stopped terry allen tonight
I mean they had a a bad preseason stopping the run mark
You mentioned the green bay game in the championship game terry allen now has 38 yards on five carries
You see what did happen in the in the preseason
It's about what uh 40 yards more
My math is correct. This is really once again mark. He's using this
Yes, you know it comes into play in the most amazing way
Second down and two
Play fake farad has it finds larry bowie number 47
Excellent execution by gus farad not only gus farad but the play fake by the running back going to the right
And north turner comes up with these new wrinkles almost every game in the nfl to get the open boots
So farat can break contained. It's still a conservative short pass. Here's terry allen on the face
The defense goes with the flow gus farad has time to plant and dump the ball off and here this is excellent
It's still conservative football and a conservative pass, but it gives the rest of the first thing
Larry bowie who starts in place of an injured mark logan makes the gap 14 on the game
farad
He gets rid of it, but allen can't hang on it was tyrone pool up the corner again
Tyrone pool for the second time tonight is jeff hoktem one of the key pickups this year
For anything but particularly those talented backup quarterbacks for the second time tyrone pool has come in cleanly
And given gus farad a shot
And gus farad took every snap at one last year. What's important here? He was already hit on one blitz
He's got to be alert when he steps back in that pocket after that first fake
He's got to get rid of that football because something's coming with his carolina defense here. He comes off the edge again
This is the second time pool tattoos him right from the middle of the back
And it's the second time pool has gotten there untouched
Same corner fire that they ran just a couple of plays ago
I say a washington is going to have to solve that problem. They're going to have to continue to open up cans of quarterbacks
And they don't have a lot of cans
And my question to north turner is you've had success running the football on first down why stop
sharp for danish
Had left tackle but the uh the blitz came off the corner. That's not that's not his speaking for an offensive lineman guys
And that blitz comes off the corner. That's quarterback and wide receiver. It's not the offensive lineman. It's a war
Jeff, excuse me. I'm sorry. I was in worn moons at seattle of boomer in cincinnati and jeff hostedler right here in washington
three key
Situations it is a very very long season and grueling for quarterbacks came on in relief of phil sims in an injured
Situation with the giants and led the giants to a super bowl championship
Jeff hossettler now in his 14th season
And leslie shepard starts in motion hossettler screen pass left side
Mark logan and tyrone pool
And tyrone pool is going to be returning punks tonight, too
This guy is off to a sensational start
Albert here we are in the very first game
Of the season and when now we have two backup quarterbacks playing for these respective teams
Is one thing about tyrone pool pool. He is a sure tackler
When you look at these offenses, I think it's very difficult to run a trick
Packing defense and the defense is going up field all the time
You can't do that
You have to meet him head on in the gaps and you have to pound him to have success
On first down the redskins were averaging six and a half yards to carry six winners third and 13
Hossettler low for asher it'll be fourth down
Well, the carolina defense has not stopped the run but they sure have rushed the passer
60 sacks a year ago two tonight
And tyrone pool who's done most of the damage gets ready to return the punt
He actually returned three punts last season, but winslow oliver did most of the returning pool won this job
With among other things an 80 yard return in preseason and north turner thinks that he has a chance
Me forcing him to cough one up. They think he may get a fumble out of him
matt turk
Who led the league in net punting a year ago?
This one is a line drive effort and a last minute fair catch
And he's fair game and jamelle wilson williams
Pops him a good one
A 39 yard putt nothing on the return
The return mitch rather guts for us mitch's his cousin. He's up and talking
And piloted by captain jim baloney from vienna virginia which is
near mark may's
Residential area at least one of them unfortunately. Yes, that's right
Man of many abodes
Right garcia over the ball
And anthony johnson described by his coach dom capers
As a man of average ability, but way above average intelligence
Nice run. Yeah, and a great deal for the running game knows how to hug double teams
And again, this thing was designed to go off to his right side gets touched back as he feels a little soft spot
Has enough power to break a tackle
But you know over 1,100 yards a year ago and was really important in their drive to the nste west championship
He had six games of 100 yards plus
After coming in for bjaka batuka a year ago 21 on that one and he'll get the hand off again cuts left
And back right and picks up maybe a gun
And a check in with craig seger on gust rod's condition
Well, veron gust didn't miss any snaps last year
He doesn't want to miss money tonight either after talking to coaching staff upstairs trying to figure out what happened since he did not see
Tyrone pool he had the wind knocked out of him
He says he's okay to go back in and we will see gust back in the next series. All right, craig. Thank you
Second down and nine
All right, always happens when you're on camera you just you never know
All cameras are live as our old microphones
Another nifty run
As he goes left, you've got to like the way that the carolina panthers have stuck to their guns
They're a very patient football team. They will run run run run and stay conservative talking to offensive coordinator joe pembri
That's what they're going to do. They had to do that last year with their offensive lineman
It was a double team block scheme, which means two linemen on one lineman and now they're going to more of a zone scheme
Here's jill pembri right here
In the box nice circle nice circle. I need practice at that
But now they're going to a more of a zone
Concept on the offensive line with a zone block. They pass guys off to each other and they get a better push down the field
This is our referee tonight bob macklelee and his 22nd year
here in the national football league
Just to think about this carolina franchise what to be able to topple the 49ers in just their second year
Really has to go down. I think it's one of the great feats in the nfl history
The problem is now they become the 49ers
I mean everybody's gonna be chasing them
Oh
Derek smith number 50 the rookie linebacker third round pick out of arizona state was right there and we'll see if he got enough
They have the
Defense to the washington redskins is going to determine whether they are going to be a playoff team this year or not
Yeah, mike nolan comes over from the new york giants did a sensational job there
And if their defense plays well, he'll be a head coach somewhere next year
But this that they're they lost on defense last year carolina
You know smidgen was actually a clue in the new york times
You're kidding now. You've always referred to smidgen says like third and short is a smidgen
Yeah, it's uh more than an inch. I guess gosh guys. I missed that. I don't know how I missed that last week in new york time
Because you were reading the wall street journal
first down 10 no score
Later stages of the first quarter anthony johnson stays in the backfield burline
Knowing the good thing gives it back to him
and aj
Knifes into redskin territory at the 45 where derek smith again makes the tack
Back
Dallas cowboys looked fairly impressive today. Did they not 37 to 7?
And arizona gave up 21 fourth quarter points and lost to cincinnati, but we'll see them both
Next sunday night eight o'clock eastern time. We begin with pro football tonight on tnt at seven
The cowboys and the cardinals from phoenix. Yeah, the breadth of that win the distance of that win really made me a surprise
Today I think it surprises the day second down and two carolina no score
It'll be a first down in 10 for carolina now when the tackle is completed
And jesse campbell number 37 leads to the offensive charge and anthony johnson is a type of back
Which is an offensive lineman's dream
You know exactly where he's going to be if you have a double team if he's supposed to hit the forehole
If he's supposed to hug the tackle, you know where he's going to be once the push goes by then he'll make his cut
He's got six carries for 50 yards this ball in the game and he's picked up exactly where he left off last year
He's got a thousand yards last year padded
Hey, here's a guy that hadn't had over 100 yards rushing in a game since high school until last year
And he had six up a year ago
Well, he came within 39 yards of his career trouble last year in one season
And here's johnson again
You're watching the style is a lot like terry allen's, you know, they uh, their their shoulders are always pointed toward the line of scrimmage
They never run in east and west. They're always gained positive yards. There are very few negative plays for both johnson and alan
And just a smart guy that has a feel for the game. You know vision isn't just a
Scene thing. It's a feeling your way through the line of scrimmage and both of these guys happen
All right, jerry allen five for 30 years so far and he's a medical miracle terry allen. Yeah, two torn anterior cruciate ligaments
In his career. He's come back from both
Eight play in the drive now third the second down and johnson skips to the right side
And they surround him as daryl green
In his 15th season as a starter for the washington redskins number 28
And a former teammate of mark mayes an outstanding player. You think daryl could possibly play forever
He's not gotten slower. He's gotten faster
We nicknamed him peewee years ago and not because we just loved the guy because when he was drafted
He's only five foot eight. We we thought he was the size of a peewee football player
Is he still five eight? He's five eight in a smidgen
And this spring in the minicamp
He ran times in the 40 of four point two seven four point two eight and four point three
He wins low oliver the mickleback on third and five number 20
Deep left side for rocket israel and sanley richard does a nice job
Of coming over to knock it away number 24. Yeah, see burline knew he had her wide receiver open there
That ball was just hung in the air a little too long and gave sanley richard time to drive on it
And
Steve burline is a tough tough guy
But that ball was thrown a little bit too high and a little bit too late. The ball was in the air too long
Should have been a first down. John casey will try one of 52 yards
He had a terrific season a year ago when he connected on 37. Look at this one
My gracious
Oh
There we are looking at two teams very good in all areas of specialty
We've got
And this game could well be decided by specialty
John casey 11 of 19 over 50 yards in his career. This one was in dot com density range
Yeah, the old 63 yard range and he was still rising as he crossed the
goal post
That ball exploded off of casey's foot
And he wasn't nearly as reacted as ken walter the punter was after his first part was it and I always like those kickers
It's like they've got that body English, but if they turn a little bit to the left
It's going to make the ball go through the upper end. Yeah, it sounds as it works
Casey has been spending some time in the weight room
from my gracious broadcast major university of georgia interesting we were talking with his coach yesterday
Said obviously his strength, but also his demeanor his personality is what makes him so successful
If john misses one, he doesn't let it bother him
And let's take a look at the footlocker scoring drive casey's 52 yard field goal
Comes at the end of a 10 play 49 yard drive and puts carolina on top and a lot of anthony johnson in that offensive line
and that's right
Mark logan or deep here's casey's second kickoff and he will deny mitchell the opportunity of a return
Well casey with 37 field goals a year ago off to a brilliant start tonight
Right and the reason carolina is so good in tight ball games is john casey
I mean if you're playing a close ball game, you're at a disadvantage
Because he is so good once they cross that 50 yard line
And from the 20 now the redskins with gus ferrat back in the lineup as craig zager said he would be
sharp for donnis at left tackle
Which brings to mind the fact that the redskins in their cuts cut andre johnson last year's number one draft pick
An offensive tackle he never played it down
It's the first time in 34 years the first time draft pick was released that's never played it down for an organization of draft pickers
The slam panda to michael westwood and his first catch and a flag is down as well at the 30 yard line. So we'll see if uh
