We couldn't get the run 181 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 15: game going, the passing game was non existent. Protection wise, 182 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 15: We're horrible upfront. 183 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 2: Drive started. 184 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: At the Washington thirty one yard line. 185 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 4: We're now out of the shotgun, a formation that Washington 186 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 4: did not use. 187 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: It all last year, and maybe that's one of the ragons. 188 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 4: Brunell loves the shotgun, but Dad Win was able to 189 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,599 Speaker 4: They did not want a single play and the shotgun 190 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 4: last year, and their first play is that. 191 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,119 Speaker 2: Second and sixteen. Here's we know one of the shotguns swings. 192 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 4: Because the out side's in a second nine none at 193 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 4: the forty yard line. Newman will sit Dallas up in 194 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 4: grave field position at the beginning of the second quarter 195 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 4: because that's the play that aids the first period. 196 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 11: A lot of the stuff that we practice we weren't doing. 197 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 3: Dallas gets on the board with a field goal in 198 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 3: the second quarter. 199 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 10: Then ty your first half. 200 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: It's like we in won those matches. 201 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 10: You know it's a gross match and you know one 202 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 10: of us is going to come out on top. 203 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: We knew that we could keep you know, any week 204 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: we played, we could keep. 205 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 6: Us in the game, right regardless of the offer score 206 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 6: thirty points of the score twelve we work on give 207 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 6: up a lot of points. 208 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 4: That will slot to the right shotgun. Here, let's show 209 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 4: a third down and eight players over the middle and 210 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 4: next court, but shy of the first down, as Sean 211 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 4: Springs made sure Jason Witten doesn't get the first down, 212 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 4: and Damas is forced to punt. 213 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 5: You know, that's one thing that really impresses me with 214 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 5: his Washington redskin corners is that they're good tackles. And 215 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 5: the play before we saw Wald Harris make a good 216 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 5: open field tackle and then on that one Sean Springs 217 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 5: make a good open field tackle. 218 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 2: At halftime, the score is three to zero Cowboys. 219 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 16: Hell al I spoke to both coaches at the half, 220 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 16: starting with Joe Gibbs. 221 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 2: I asked him. 222 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 16: About his defense being on the field almost seventeen minutes 223 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 16: in the first half in this heat. He said the 224 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 16: reason for that turnovers, returned the ball over twice. For 225 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 16: his offense struggling to move the ball in the first half, 226 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 16: he said, we have to do a better job with 227 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 16: the ball. Ask for Bill Parcells. He said, hey, we 228 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 16: are struggling just like they are, despite having the edge 229 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 16: in time of possession, a decent field position. He said, 230 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 16: we've slowed down a bit. We got to get our 231 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 16: running game going. 232 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 17: It wasn't like I wonder what amazing, you know, halftime 233 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 17: adjustments they were going to make. It was more like, 234 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 17: can anybody take advantage of a busted coverage and make 235 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 17: a play? Like can somebody catch a screen pass out 236 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 17: in the flat, they catch a couple of blocks and 237 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 17: get fifty yards at yack and turn nothing into something 238 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 17: like it was. 239 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: The bar was was set pretty low. 240 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 3: Dallas pulls even further ahead in the third quarter, first 241 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 3: in twenty years. 242 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 4: And the toss could lets. 243 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 7: From Jones and anything to Glen put a touchdown. 244 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 13: That game was so disappointing because really there wasn't much 245 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 13: for a Redskin fan to cheer. 246 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 12: Four in that game. 247 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 3: Although down by ten and struggling to put points on 248 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 3: the board, Washington still is within striking distance and there 249 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 3: was a belief that this team could still turn the 250 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 3: game around. 251 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 12: I never give up. 252 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 11: You know, anything could have their own thing you liked, 253 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 11: especially for us by in that day, it was like, man, 254 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 11: we need to get a turn of or we just 255 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 11: need to score to get points on the board. 256 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 12: And again it was weird situations. 257 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 11: When you got Tanner, you got Coolly.

Coach said, Hey, what 326 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 10: the heck, Tanneker run? I just run it from wherever 327 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 10: we at on the field. Like if you look at 328 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 10: that play over and look how close it was for 329 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 10: me not making that catch, Like I believe Roy Williams 330 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 10: was right there. If he would have just launched it 331 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 10: and took the pass interference, I'd probably get hit. The 332 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 10: ball probably bounced off of both of us and it's 333 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 10: no catch, but Roy didn't want to pass in affair call, 334 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 10: so he just kind of like swiped out my hand 335 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 10: and boom the ball fit perfectly, great pass throw by 336 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 10: Mark Brunell, and come jog or trot to the sideline, 337 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 10: and everybody kind of like it has a it's like 338 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 10: a breath of fresh air now on our sideline. And 339 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 10: Coach Gibbs like, hey, like, I guess this kid know 340 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 10: what he's talking about. 341 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: Damn we caught it, like he's scored. We back in it. 342 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 1: So then it was like defense, get up. 343 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 12: We just need to stop. 344 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: We just need to stop. And everybody was just like 345 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: re energized, and we just went out there. 346 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 4: And then I think sometime I sposed to two minute 347 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 4: running left for Washington. You think that we know the 348 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 4: way for ourselves, just played through the years. He loves 349 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 4: to play clock Bulls had the running game. But tonight 350 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 4: that Washington defense is steimy Dallas. You've got Jones carrying 351 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 4: nineteen times for sixty five yards only two point nine per. 352 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 3: Rush tonight or doubting, the defense holds strong, Dallas is 353 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 3: forced to punt the Buyers punk is. 354 00:18:58,880 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: Too deep. 355 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 4: And that will come out to the twenty yard line, 356 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 4: so they'll have to go eighty yards in two fifty two. 357 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 1: Not the game is closer. No offense getting the ball back. 358 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 6: You know we weren't you know, we had that one 359 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 6: big explosive play and you're thinking, all right, Dallas is 360 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 6: gonna wake up now. 361 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: They've been playing good defense all game. 362 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 3: Washington has the ball under three minutes left. On the 363 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 3: first play of the drive, Brunell dumps the ball off 364 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 3: to Portos for ten yards first and ten on Washington's 365 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 3: thirty yard line. 366 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 5: Yeah, this is when you find up out about your 367 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 5: offensive defense. So this is what good offense is, when 368 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 5: you can make plays in this situation are good defense 369 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 5: is when you can stop those plays. 370 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 4: From the thirty yard going. 371 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 7: Ten on r for a touchdown. 372 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 5: Wow, unbelievable. 373 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 10: It wasn't the same play, but it was. Coaches like, 374 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 10: what's they're playing flat foot back there? I see Roy 375 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 10: Williams want to play up in a box more so 376 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 10: than he want to be be a deep safety. So 377 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 10: and just from where the corner was playing me was 378 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 10: he was out wide and he was deep. So I'm 379 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 10: like I knew right there in there some kind of 380 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 10: bracket going on against you know, for me just basically saying, 381 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,719 Speaker 10: all right, both of us got him. We're gonna disguise 382 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 10: this in a way to where it looks like we 383 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 10: play in one position, but we both have him. And 384 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 10: so the second touchdown was just a post route, a 385 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 10: deep post and being the receiver that I am, I 386 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 10: was looking at the lineman and I say, instead of 387 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 10: me running this with the angle or that I will 388 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 10: normally give it, I'm going to run cheating a little 389 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 10: more towards the safety, so I can already give myself 390 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 10: a good jump away from the dB the cornerback and 391 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 10: when by the time I put my foot in the ground, 392 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 10: that means I would be on top of the safety 393 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 10: because he's already flat. So I angled towards the safety 394 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 10: more so than the straight up the field. So when 395 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 10: I put my foot in the ground, the safety won't 396 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 10: have a clear cut to come, you know, ring my bell. 397 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 10: So by doing that, when I was able to get 398 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 10: on him, ain't ground and knowing Roy Williams wasn't going 399 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 10: to back up by the time I took that, what 400 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 10: I guess I was counting in my head probably my 401 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 10: twelfth step when I put that foot in the ground 402 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 10: and go to the post. You know, normally when you 403 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 10: have a deep post, you're telling yourself by my second count, 404 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 10: you know, my second step out of that post, out 405 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 10: of that initial plant, the ball should be in the air. 406 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 10: When I planned it, I was like in my head, 407 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 10: I'm like one, two and getting ready to say three 408 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 10: to look back now for the ball. The ball was 409 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 10: coming down. So I'm like Mark Brunell, the genius of 410 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 10: Mark Brunell. He just knew Tanner's go on to beat him. 411 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: So let me get this ball up. 412 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 10: High and with an arc and quick. 413 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 1: And he did so. 414 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 10: Man, And it made it simple enough for me, or 415 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 10: it made it easier for me to be able to 416 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 10: catch it without having to worry about Aaron Glenn coming 417 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 10: into the picture at the last minute. 418 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: If you want to go back and. 419 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 10: Watch it, Aaron Glenn's hand just barely misses it. So 420 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 10: being that Mark Ronell pull up with a perfect time 421 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 10: and just knew where I was going to be at man, 422 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 10: it was like you could you would have thought me 423 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 10: and Mark will had been doing that all summer. 424 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 6: A long come out again, Mark, those who bombed the Santana, 425 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 6: And You're like what like like this? Where where was 426 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 6: this for the first three quarters while waiting any give 427 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 6: everybody a heart attack all and then when Santana caught 428 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,959 Speaker 6: it and ran it in. I just remember him spinning 429 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 6: the ball, you know his classics Tan of man spinning 430 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 6: the ball. 431 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 3: Thirteen thirteen, Nick Novak steps up to hopefully kick the 432 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 3: game winning extra point in his first ever NFL game. 433 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 12: You know, extra points a little different now. 434 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 14: Back then, if you're kicking from the ten yard line, 435 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 14: so it's only a twenty yard trip shot, you know. 436 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 12: Now it's from the thirty three, so you got a 437 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 12: thirty three yard field goal now. But uh, you know, 438 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 12: I just just normal routine. 439 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 14: It's pretty common to be post one hundred percent on 440 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 14: still go or extra point accuracy from that range. So 441 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 14: I wasn't worried about missing or any of those thoughts. 442 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 12: Weren't creeping in my mind. It was just get the 443 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 12: job done. 444 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 4: And Novak bangs one crew in his NFL debut. So 445 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 4: with two thirty five remaining in regulation, it's now. 446 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 3: Fourteen thirteen, the job gets done on that part of 447 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 3: special teams. Novak is then called into action in a 448 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 3: different capacity just seconds later. 449 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 4: So on this night when the crowd and they're always 450 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 4: into the Redskins and the Cowboys had things in hand, 451 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 4: and all of a sudden hit a dog fight. Down 452 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 4: by one, Tyson Thompson is back to return the kid 453 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 4: novakcins at skyward. It comes down to a two yard line. 454 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 4: This is the rookie Tyson Thompson past the twenty that 455 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 4: they burst their speed and Novaka kicker makes the tackle 456 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 4: at midfield. 457 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 12: I was able to stop him and it was for 458 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 12: sure going to be a touchdown. 459 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 3: A touchdown prevented, but Dallas does get great field position 460 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 3: for a chance to rip the victory from Washington's hands. 461 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 13: They really intense thing for me was then we had 462 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 13: to stop them on the drive. I got to tell you, 463 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 13: I was so uptight. Those are the things that I 464 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 13: just wonder sometimes, how how fast was my heart beating, 465 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 13: because now you know you're you are so wrapped up 466 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 13: in that, and now. 467 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 4: You're down to one last play barring a pass interference 468 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 4: ball which could also set up a field. 469 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 18: Goal, and it throws under knee and it's drolls and 470 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 18: let the gold the gin and then a look a lot, 471 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 18: a look of ten. 472 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,959 Speaker 4: And that's the way the ball game will end. 473 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: After that, you looked at their sideline and just pure defeat. 474 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 1: It was freaking awesome. It was absolutely awesome. 475 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 13: Means so much to me, So the fan base, for 476 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 13: everybody that posts for the Redskins in those days, all 477 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 13: those people to be able to celebrate that, it's just 478 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 13: it's one of the great thrills in life. 479 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 3: That odds defying, heart stopping win showed who Washington was 480 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 3: and where this team could go. 481 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: I think that the game was like we needed that, 482 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: we needed that, we needed that way. 483 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 11: I think the Extember brownout A team was generman. 484 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 10: That year was magical.
