00:16it's the afc versus the nfc i'm dan stevens and with me is peter o'keefe and we should have
00:23a
00:23great battle about to start on the sega sports network well peter what do you think of this
00:28matchup the dolphins have one of the best defenses in the league dan a powerful line with some crushing
00:34linebackers have made this de stingy very stingy they've allowed the fewest points in the nfl last
00:40year and they have all their starters coming back man watch out miami is coming at you meeting them
00:46will be tampa bay last year the bucks were forced to play a draining seven consecutive weeks away from
00:53home while the new stadium was being built that takes a toll on a team and when you finish just
00:58a couple games out of the playoffs you have to wonder what if peter thanks it is called it is
01:08tail the electric the dolphins decide to receive the opening kickoff and on come the return men
01:26one signals to the referee for the kickoff
01:31and it's away
01:40and he gets a nice little pickup before being taken down
01:55it's first and ten
02:03it's snapped marino passes the right
02:18that's right he must have crosshairs over his visor with accuracy like that the defense has their work cut out
02:24for him
02:25ball on the 29
02:36and he's met face to face at the line of scrimmage
02:40tackled by sap
02:48ball at the 29 yard line
03:06the problem on that play was as simple as this execution or more precisely the lack of execution
03:13fourth down is coming up
03:19gallery comes into punt after a three and out by the offense
03:27green
03:28the snap
03:33green gets it
03:34he gets an average return
03:37and then gets hauled down
03:51first and ten
04:00it's tight
04:01dilford throws to the left sideline
04:04second down
04:06you know i hate to pick on you guys
04:08but that is some uninspired passing out there
04:11he's got to take a deep breath and
04:13think before he just flings them out like that
04:15Trent dilford really didn't seem to have a good handle on that play
04:19that pass was woefully ineffective
04:21it's hard to say on that one who blew their assignment
04:23but that pass looked like a drunk duck with a pole
04:26and he will not get back to the line of scrimmage
04:31tackled by connor
04:34three yard loss on that play
04:36defense
04:39defense
04:40defense
04:41ball on the 26
04:52six
04:53the height
04:54dilford
04:55looks then throws center field
04:57and he handed it his hand for a second
05:00put it full to the ground
05:01incomplete
05:02it will be fourth down
05:05third Emmanuel
05:06didn't latch on to the ball properly
05:08if a receiver is thinking about the run
05:10the upcoming hit
05:11or the score
05:11and doesn't focus on catching the ball first
05:13he's gonna miss it every time
05:15and that's what happened here
05:16Howard will punt it away
05:18after a three and a half
05:19there's the snap
05:22he's gonna push
05:23twenty seven
05:23he is the punt
05:25a sixty three yard punt
05:27on the play
05:27terrific kick
05:39first down
05:40four more tries
05:51great through Peter after picking those yards up he is just ground into the turf
05:56tackled by Nickerson pain of close to four on that play it's second and six
06:18Marino downfield to his left third down Dan Marino just seemed to panic on that play he threw the
06:26ball into a sea of defenders oh Danny was just lucky that wasn't an interception those linemen
06:30must be fuming that they couldn't get that pick ball at the 32-yard line
06:53unreal a diving catch by the receiver just manages to scoop it up before it hits the ground
06:59Kareem Abdul-Jabbar showed why he's so dangerous as a receiver he's not afraid to make a diving
07:05leap like that for the sake of a reception I admire the hell out of him if there's any possible
07:10way
07:10he's gonna make a catch like that he will their brand new first down 10 yards Marino passes downfield
07:19right Martin dives and he'll be plenty past the first down a gain of 29 on the play did you
07:29see
07:29that leap even the opposing team should stand up and applaud effort like that Tony Martin did a
07:35wonderful job diving for that catch as a quarterback it must be a little frustrating to see your receivers
07:40lay themselves out like that to make a completion but a catch is a catch it's first down 10 yards
07:46to
07:46go
07:57well all he has to do is follow the huge surge up front he basically gets sucked forward with the
08:02whole line
08:07ball on the 22
08:20and he goes downfield then he goes down and hard tackled by sap
08:26two
08:30first down 10 yards
08:36yeah
08:36yeah
08:38yeah
08:38yeah
08:38yeah
08:39yeah
08:39yeah
08:39yeah
08:40yeah
08:42Marino tosses right, Abdul-Jabbar gets the pass, tackled by Brooks, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
08:53used his hands to catch the ball, and that's how you want to do it, catch with the hands
08:57and then bring it into the body, that's right, a smart move to bring the ball in and protect
09:01it from the defenders, and it's the end of the first quarter, and neither team has put
09:06a scoring drive, together yet, a couple of goose eggs, ball on the 11th, the defense
09:19is showing blitz, someone got a hand on the ball, McDuffie was the intended receiver on
09:27the play, incomplete, it's third down.
09:37Ball at the 11-yard line, there's the height, Marino throws end zone, fourth down.
09:51Dan, here's the problem here, an offense has got to build momentum by getting yards on first
09:56and second down, when you put yourself in a third and long situation, it's next to impossible
10:01to get out, it'll be a short 29-yard attempt, it snaps, it's up, and it stays between the
10:19uprights, they'll tack three to the score, and we have our first score of the game, it's
10:25now three to zero.
10:35Mare signals the referee for the kickoff, and he kicks it away.
10:48He fumbles, they pick the ball up.
10:51They retain possession, but that is not what you want to see as a coach, if you don't want
10:56to see the ball up for grabs like that when you're on offense, jeez.
11:05First and ten.
11:22Man, that's a fantastic piece of maneuvering out there.
11:25He twisted free just in time.
11:27Warwick Dunn.
11:28Joe, that he's not only a fast runner, Peter, but he has the moves to whirl away from the attackers.
11:33You know, Dan, catching him is like trying to wrestle a catfish while wearing oven mitts.
11:38Ball on the 27.
11:41It's right.
11:43It's past the line.
11:58First and ten.
12:11Dillford goes center field with the pass.
12:14And he leaves his man by too much.
12:17Incomplete.
12:18That brings up second down.
12:20Oh, there's one that I'll bet he wishes he could take back.
12:23That throw went absolutely nowhere.
12:25Trent Dillford did a poor job reading the field on that play.
12:30The ball was up for grabs, Peter.
12:31Dan, he's just damn lucky that a member of the secondary wasn't one of the ones who grabbed it.
12:35Otherwise, he'd be warming his buns on the sideline right now.
12:38There's the snap.
12:40Freedom, he's leveled.
12:41He'll lose a couple.
12:43Tackled by Tanner.
12:45A loss of three on the play.
12:53Ball at the 33-yard line.
13:06Dillford passes in the middle.
13:09Emmanuel gets it.
13:11He just got the first.
13:12Nice job.
13:13A gain of 14.
13:15Trent Dillford showed us some incredible accuracy there.
13:18And with that kind of accuracy, at the very worst, it'll be an incomplete pass.
13:22The only person that had a chance at that ball was the receiver.
13:25Great pass.
13:26First and ten.
13:28It looks like they're going to come after him.
13:33Passes left.
13:34He's getting second down.
13:36That was a bad pass.
13:38Right into coverage.
13:40Oh, boy.
13:40Those accuracy numbers are troubling.
13:42He just isn't sticking those balls between the numbers.
13:49Ball on the 47.
14:00Dillford passes middle.
14:02Anthony catches the ball.
14:05That will be a first down, Peter.
14:07He just made enough yards.
14:09A gain of ten.
14:10And he really blew the doors off the competition on that route.
14:15Rydell Anthony did a great job to get open.
14:17And has one of the fastest 40-yard times in the lead.
14:20You know, Dan, I was watching him do some sprints in practice.
14:22And you know, he's almost as fast as me.
14:24Yeah, right.
14:25In your dream.
14:27First defense.
14:29Dillford parries to the right.
14:31He's at the 30.
14:33Work done.
14:35Really showed some dial here as he suckered in the defense before tacking on that last burst of adrenaline.
14:57First and ten.
15:02Well, we're at the two-minute warning.
15:19It's first and ten.
15:30It's first and ten.
15:34And he throws it incomplete too far in front of the intended receiver.
15:38That will bring up second down.
15:41Who was he throwing to?
15:43I didn't see a friendly face among those guys.
15:45He's got to pick his shots a lot better.
15:48Trent Dilford took a chance on that play.
15:50He must have felt that he could thread the needle through that coverage.
15:53I tell you, he was wrong.
15:55Ball on the 26.
15:59There's the height.
16:01Donald shoots for the gap.
16:03And he got several, but he goes down very hard at the end of that play.
16:07Tackled by Jones.
16:10A gain of six on the play.
16:12The Buccaneers take their first time out.
16:21Ball on the 20.
16:30It snaps.
16:32Dilford is going for the score.
16:35And he's in for the touchdown.
16:37Bernie Manuel did a good job cutting the ball in after he made that catch.
16:42It was a great catch all around, Dan.
16:43He must have let Dickham through his palms.
17:11A snap.
17:13It's up.
17:14And they connect on the extra point.
17:17And with that score, they take the lead.
17:19Seven to three.
17:23Three.
17:35One gives the referee the signal for the kickoff.
17:40And he boots it downfield.
17:4434.
17:46Fields the ball just outside his end zone.
17:48And at the end of the return, he gets taken down.
18:03First and ten.
18:14And he's hit and hit hard at the line of scrimmage.
18:18Tackled by Nickerson.
18:20It's second and ten.
18:21He's on the right.
18:23The height.
18:24Marino over the middle.
18:27Ganston gets the ball.
18:29Time out.
18:30First start.
18:31Time out.
18:32A gain of 22.
18:34The Dolphins will take a time out.
18:37That's their first.
18:38Dan Marino put that football right in the hip pocket of the receiver.
18:42Oh, I think some of those receivers ought to be drawing half a paycheck this week.
18:46He's making it too easy on them.
18:47Oh, you think so, huh?
18:48Yeah.
18:48Are you willing to take a pay cut on the days when I'm saying all the brilliant stuff?
18:52And when would that be?
18:53First and ten.
18:56It's ice.
18:57Looks.
18:58Throws long right.
19:00And it'll be second down.
19:02Dan Marino was this close from throwing an interception on that play.
19:07Some quarterbacks believe in their arms so much that they can't see what's in front of their face.
19:12That pass was doomed before he threw it.
19:14Ball at the 44-yard line.
19:24Throws.
19:25Martin.
19:26That is the pass.
19:27He's going to feel that tomorrow for sure, Peter.
19:30Time out.
19:30Packled by Gooch.
19:31That's their second charge time out.
19:33A gain of six.
19:34The Dolphins take their second time out.
19:45Ball on the 49.
19:55There's the height.
19:57Marino.
19:58Look.
19:58Then castles left.
20:00McDuffie catches it but is out of bounds.
20:04It's fourth down.
20:06In those situations, Dan, the first down's a lot harder to get than you think.
20:10It's really elusive and it eluded them right there.
20:13The Dolphins will punt for the second time.
20:19Go!
20:22Go!
20:23Go!

21:10ball with the 27-yard line
21:23and he's brought down hard tackled by Taylor
21:32first down four more drives
21:54the Dolphins take a timeout
22:13second and 15
22:28and it's the end of the half seven to three
22:44that's the end of the half
22:58Mare signals the referee for the kickoff
23:03let's go quickly to Michelle Westphal
23:06with this halftime update
23:07Michelle
23:09during halftime I had an opportunity to speak with the head coach of the Dolphins
23:13he said that the team is playing according to game plan
23:17but he also emphasized that they will need to keep the pressure up throughout the second half
23:22to come away with the victory
23:23thank you Michelle
23:26first and ten
23:35he stopped short of the line of scrimmage
23:38tackled by Edward
23:41a loss of media yard
23:53ball at the 20-yard line
23:58ball at the 20-yard line
24:09he's at the first five
24:12he's got enough for the first
24:13game to 15
24:15Warwick Dunn just brutally rejected the defender with that stiff arm
24:20wow
24:40first and ten
24:57he is really making the most of every chance he has with a football
25:00the job of playmaker seems to fit him pretty well
25:12it's now second and seven
25:27flip past the line
25:29ooh they make him pay the price for the short yardage
25:32tackled by Edwards
25:35gain of three on the play
25:45ball at the 41-yard line
25:48ball at the 41-yard line
25:57dilford throws it middle
25:59and he gets his hands on it
26:02but it falls incomplete
26:04that will bring up
26:05fourth down
26:07that's not going to happen very often with this guy Dan
26:09passes like that
26:10he almost always catches
26:11I don't know how he missed that one
26:13Howard stands back
26:15and will punt it away
26:25and it sails out of bounds
26:28after a nice punt
26:29the Dolphins will take over
26:41their brand new
26:42first down
26:43ten yards
26:49there's the snap
26:51Marino
26:52looks
26:52throws long left
26:54and it's too far in front of his man to pull in
26:57incomplete pass
26:58that will bring up second down
27:01Dan he may have gotten a little too hyped up on that pass
27:04that was an erratic throw that really missed his man
27:06Dan Marino
27:08really botched that pass
27:09it better settle down
27:11or he could do some real damage to his team
27:13by throwing an interception
27:14it's now second and ten
27:17behind
27:18throws middle
27:20that brings up third down
27:34ball at the 24 yard line
27:43Marino throws right
27:46look at that big fat zero
27:50in the interceptions column
27:51one bad pass can really turn on you
27:53but so far he's thrown nothing but good ones
27:59gallery is going to punt it away
28:01after a three and out by the offense
28:11Green gets the butt
28:13carrying defender
28:15and he'll pick up a few on the return
28:17before being tackled

28:28hits first down
28:29ten yards to go
28:40wow that was a big hit
28:42delivered
28:43right at the line of scrimmage
28:45tackled by Taylor
28:47pain of about a yard
28:49on the play
28:57ball at the 32 yard line
29:08there's the height
29:09oh he just got mugged in the backfield
29:14thrown him back for a couple of yards
29:17tackled by Taylor
29:20loss of three on the play
29:28ball at the 28 yard line
29:32ball at the 28 yard line
29:42it's a fumble
29:43the defense covers it up
29:47tackle by number 73
29:51this number here is showing us just what kind of field awareness this guy's got
29:55it's hard enough to force the fumble
29:57but to have the vision to see the ball
29:58and get the recovery
29:59is something else
30:00you can't coach that
30:01first and ten
30:15and after making just a couple on the play
30:18he's really nailed
30:20tackle by Upshaw
30:22a gain of maybe a yard on the play
30:27ball at the 30 yard line
30:41and he gets a few
30:43but the D's sure made him pay the price
30:45tackled by Barber
30:48a gain of three
30:52ball at the 27 yard line
31:01and that brings up fourth down
31:16it'll be a little on the long side
31:18a 44 yard attempt
31:29there's the snap
31:35and it's the end of the third quarter
31:377 to 6
32:02and he sends it away
32:07Anthony catches it deep
32:12nice little pick up
32:13on the return
32:27first down
32:2810 yards
32:40this is not the team we saw playing earlier in the game
32:44they're wearing the same uniforms
32:45but they're really making a lackluster showing
32:59second and ten
33:05it looks like a blitz
33:10it might
33:11and they get a couple Peter
33:15but that was a big hit there
33:16tackled by one
33:19game of three on the play
33:21he practically had to show him a certificate of ownership
33:25before he'll give up that football
33:26he always hangs on to the ball
33:33ball on the 27
33:35ball on the 27
33:43it's that
33:44done
33:45off the cross
33:46tackled by Thomas
33:49Zach Thomas
33:51is doing a great job
33:52as part of a very solid defense
33:54they really don't have any cracks in the wall to be exploited
33:57well this offense is going to tire pretty quickly of banging their helmets against a brick wall
34:05Howard is going to give the ball away after a three and out
34:2027
34:20and he picks up a couple on the return
34:24and then gets brought down
34:37it's first and ten
34:51they've only allowed token running plays
34:53by keeping the pressure on
34:55they've prevented the offense from chewing up any yardage on the ground
35:00ball on the 35
35:14this guy has really got a fabulous average so far
35:18he's really beating back that defense every time he has a possession
35:29first and ten
35:38there's the snap
35:39Marino throws to center field
35:42apparently they've forgotten what was working so well for them in the first half
35:45his second half performance has left a lot to be desired
35:55it's now second and ten
36:05Marino goes center field with the pass
36:08Martin it's the pass
36:11his way past the marker
36:13first down
36:1430 yards on the play
36:17caught that ball with his hands there
36:19perfectly thrown
36:20perfectly caught
36:21Tony Martin
36:22that's the ball downfield to continue the offensive drive
36:25good catch
36:26Dan that play was executed so well
36:28the quarterback could probably throw his eyes shut
36:30well now why would he do that Peter
36:31he'd miss seeing those great catches
36:33it's just a figure of speech
36:34oh I see
36:35now we have the two minute warning
36:48two minutes on the game clock
37:00he was met at the line of scrimmage where his progress was rather
37:04impolitely impeded
37:05tackled by Nickerson
37:08about a yard on the play
37:10the Dolphins will take their first time out
37:19the clock is at 1.55
37:27a snap
37:28Abdul-Jabbar
37:30cranked the tackle
37:31great read by the D
37:33the stick of a few yards back
37:34tackled by Duncan
37:36that's the second target
37:37loss of about a yard on the play
37:40as you can see
37:41teams do not have much success
37:43moving the ball against them
37:45they don't give up any ground
37:46without a vicious fight
37:51it's third and goal
37:59there's the height
38:01and Abdul-Jabbar finds a gap
38:04tackled by Upshaw
38:08Regan Upshaw has been one of several defenders
38:11who deserve credit
38:12they're really controlling the center of the field
38:14now this is going to be an easy little chip shot Peter
38:17a 22 yarder
38:27it's away
