Turn them up inside when you build a team fundamentally and that's the way they've done it here in Carolina
No penalties don't turn the ball over have a good rushing game and a solid defense
This has got to be tearing apart when he gets done with his notes tonight. He's going to have a list as long as
third and 24
Stunts by the redskin defense furline goes short
Winslow oliver number 20 makes the grab but they needed 24 and they got about seven
But and something that has not been heard much here in charlotte, North Carolina the queen city
booze
Burline and the team come over as dom capers 50 years of age
Started out as a graduate assistant under don james at kent state
In the early 70s. He himself played at mount union
In ohio in the midwest here's ken walter his fourth fund is a throw speaking of golden state. There's a seg wife
I mean can't say
Why don't you hate it when you whip
I mean it was just
And the ball never moves. I love to watch you do it. I love to see you
It's a twist and now let me see
They got pumped up in new england
Washington leads carolina here 10-3 and the redskins got their touchdown late second quarter
A 91 yard drive the highlight of which was a 43 yard
Pass reception from leslie shepard terry allen got the pd
Hand off to terry allen he comes right
up brad badger number 74 and ed simmons number 76 out there at right guard
Right guard, of course a spot that you occupied mark for so many years
I played it for a year or two, but my number was 73
I think brad badger should have gone back and did a little history check a little research
He's a smart guy from stanford all the redskins fans in washington know that 74 used to be george stark
And when there was a holding call everyone knew it was holding number 74 george stark
as a matter of fact in the last game played at rfk was
Completed in the second second down and nine. Here's the rock
for alan incomplete
When they when they played the final game at rfk stadium last year the public address announcer
They introduced all the old guys who'd come back and I understand he said holding
74 and the place went up for grabs
Everybody went nuts and all everybody yelled george stark because they knew it would be on starkey
But he was a great player played a long time from the washington redskins
He was the original hog the head hog and there's rush brim right here
Hey russ is a future hall of famer he's been to the pro bowl five or six times in three super bowls
And he's won and then the four super bowls and now he's the head line coach of the washington redskins
39
for us
Finds his tight end jamie asher, but that will be
four yards short of the first down michael barrow
Oh number 56 a significant pre-agent acquisition from the houston slash tennessee oilers
Made the tackle and playing where kevin greens played a year ago really out of position
He wants to play inside linebacker where he probably can be a dominating force
He's got a good player and a good man
Tyrone cool back to return matt turks
Dan turk
Snaps it back and it's a good one and that's a good one
Pull at the 23 jesse campbell was right there to nail him friend
I always wondered when you're training camping you get cut you're cut by the turk now who cuts the turk
The brim reaper
We'll ponder that for a minute or two
Uh queen city of charlotte, north carolina and the beauty enhanced by these spectacular shots from the goodyear blimp hovering overhead
And our thanks to captain maloney and the crew of the goodyear blimp stars and stripes
out of pompano beach florida
10 3
first and 10
And anthony johnson hits right
Jamal duff number 92
One of the newer redskins makes the tackle well opening day final game of
The first day of the 97 season and what happened around today 11 new coaches
debuted today
Yeah, eddie george off to a spectacular start and there were six defensive touchdowns lions had two of them
Lawrence phillips 125 yards his best day as a pro
second and eight ten three
So carouse starts in motion johnson goes right at the good block from green and derek smith number 50
Made the tackle
Family richard came up to help but that's a 10 yard gain. Here's
Smith number 51 of two rookies starting defensively for the redskins
The thing that separates this team so far in this ball game is you have the washington redskins who have can be
Dynamic on offense and they were at least one play at the shepherd the carolina panthers right now
I have not don't have any dynamic players. They need to find that guy
Perhaps it's ray cruz but give him a chance to use that sprinter's feet
first down and hit
Right side
And it's that far great with the tackle
The methodical team they won 12 games a year ago playing this way mark with boy
It's really hard to do it. There's kerry collins the quarterback the injured broken jaw august 9th
Uh practice this past week thursday through with the team
Pat we always had a stain with the redskins winning ugly is still winning
And 12 and four they get into the nfc title game and they can be as methodical as they'd like
I'd always like to take a grinded out type of football approach anyway
Snapping the handoff to johnson who comes left and cuts back across the 50
To the 47 and a half yard line where chris mims makes the tackle number 91 down there now
And again a reminder that we have not seen the akiva tuka
Coming off the acl and they said he just didn't have the burst in preseason. He didn't look like the player bowl
Well, it takes about two years verne when I had mine in 89
It really took me to 91 to finally feeling like I was 100% that I could do the things that I did before the injury
So but a skilled guy like timby akiva tuka. It's going to take him probably at least another five or six weeks
To 11 to go third quarter here's johnson
And he works at left tackle and that will leave panthers about a yard short as marcus patten number 53 makes the battle
I haven't said that didn't terry allen has two serious knee injuries and bounced back and rushed for over 1,300 yards the past two years
So what am I a pansy now because he had
And he's had two of those i've had one i'll leave that to bat aiden to call you that because he's as tall as you are
And i'm not
Final 140 to go third quarter
Three
Play action bernard right side green
Now will they give him forward progress? He's not going to get a good spot. I thought he had it
You know the one thing about mike nolan's defensive team and they were with a giant and they certainly have shown it tonight
They are good tacklers
And they've made several open field tackles tonight
On critical third down situations
Now good play call by jill pendry
Good throw there by burline
Dan oriffy gets a piece of him daris smith helps him and he's a smidgen short
His yeah
And they will go for the first down on yes fred lane number 32
Comes on for dom caper's crew
Now they'll bring the chain across field just to confirm what we suspect that this is short
This is short lanes already in the backfield
The one thing that defensive players ought to be warned up now is the long cat count the hard count to try to draw you
Off sides on this fourth down play and see burline is very good at it
He's had him jump off across tonight a few times on his hard cadence and he's had a history of this throughout his career
He did it with dallas. He did it in phoenix and now he's doing it here
There's joe pendry the offensive coordinator for the carolina panthers and he's looking hard at that game plan
And burline says hurry up, but I couldn't hear it now. He's got the call
And marcus catton has talked with mike nolan fourth and one
That's the seal signal
Yep, fourth and one in a 10-3 game with 112 to go third quarter lane is the running back green is the walking back?
Red lane
Yeah, they said they liked about red lane the fact that he did not go down easily and he could make yards on his own
There was a little bit of a hole there, but not much
And you know, it's really amazing don capers is surprising in a critical fourth down situation gives the ball to a rookie
And this seems uncharacteristic, but it certainly absolutely works and a rookie who had funded in the second quarter to lead to the go-ahead touchdown
Good lead block there by scott green
And then fred lane just kind of wiggles his way for the first down
And you mentioned scott green to me. He's really been the spark of this offense
He's fighting for additional yards catching the ball in the backfield throwing great blocks when he does run the ball
He's giving that extra effort and getting him that extra yardage for first down a play of the drive first down in 10 after
40 yard line and this is raker ruth and mochi
johnson back in the backfield for lane
He gets the handoff and comes left
He got some good block from the left side walter rasby number 88
Stanley richard with the tackle but rasby helps clear the way boy pat i'll say sometimes methodical can be
You know
Another decisive run by anthony johnson. I mean he does not waste any time
He mentioned the left side of the offensive line and walter rasby burns
He picks the block up by rasby
On richie owens and cuts right inside a decisive run off a good block by rasby
Is
Planned at training the washington redskins 10 free but driving now for the first down at the 29 yard line bern lundquist fad aiden and mark may
And anthony johnson in his eighth year almost the definition of a journeyman
Until last year when he came on with six 100 yard games has 134 tonight at career high
Uh, next carry will be his 20th. It might come here
Here's canard lang the rookie number one draft pick from miami by way of orlando
At the end of three quarters, it's statistically stacked up this way
All right, three turnovers for carolina has been their undoing thus far. They have a big edge in rushing yardage
And the passing yard is now 60 in this half
And they're looking at a second down 11 trailing by seven
Scott green number 43
Here's carouse in motion play fake burline
29 comes across the middle of the club by carouse at the 25 yard line
He'll need five more for the first down tackled by jesse campbell 37
I'll say on that play the redskin defense has to respect the play fake to anthony johnson
He's had an outstanding evening and that increases the linebackers and it gives steve burline a chance to sit in the pocket
And look downfield and at least have a successful play and a seven-point ball game right here this in the fourth quarter
This is a very important third down right now for carolina
Mike nolan and the redskins go with the nickels see what dom capers has in mind
He loads up on the right side. Winslow oliver is in as a nickel back number 20
Burline starts or comes to life
Outstanding play by the carolina office and steve burline and particularly wesley waltz when they get into the red area
When they get close to the goal line, he's the number one threat and the redskins have to be alert for this
They went with the all-out blitz that left him one-on-one and he made a tremendous catch in the end zone
And how about steve is that a flag down? Yep. That is a flag for sure and it's at the one yard line
But you know what steve burline did
Against the offensive team after the score
The touchdown is good. The 15 yards will be assessed on the kickoff. That's the new rule
to negate
What the the nfl teams is showboating. It was called in the indianapolis miami game today
15 yards for removing your helmet as a sign of celebration. Here's casings extra points up and go
It's just amazing to me
How quick a big guy like wesley waltz can get off the line of scrimmage even when a defensive mass is in his face
And get to that scene and get open and catch the football
Guys from mississippi, give me mail
1332 to go fourth quarter after the 15 yard penalty casey kicks off by mitchell at the 21 yard line
And mitchell good special team coverage
On the kickoff by carolina
Well, this is the new rule against showboating a 15 yard penalty
And it was called on the second tight end walter rasby number 88 time has been called
Three remaining in the fourth quarter
The first touchdown and the tie now carolina gets wesley waltz from 25 yards down
And keep in mind that carolina defense in eight games at home last night
