GamingTranscript
00:06I don't know.
00:33Both teams have taken the field
00:34and let's see what happens now
00:36as we're ready for the kickoff.
00:43Kicks a line drive
00:47from the five.
00:50And they're ready to go on offense for the first time.
00:54Number 88 on the return.
01:00First and 10.
01:01Ball on the 23-yard line.
01:11In the back, good play in the backfield.
01:14And that play runs right into a roadblock.
01:16And the roadblock was a big old defensive lineman
01:19who wasn't fooled by the draw at all.
01:40The quarterback gets set with only one back behind him.
01:45The 30, and they beat the blitz on a good throw.
01:48Yeah, he read the defense, and he got out of there quickly.
01:50But you've got to give some of the credit
01:52to the receiver on this play.
01:54He saw the blitz was coming,
01:55and he made the right read
01:57so the quarterback had something to throw to.
02:01Hands it off.
02:03And that picks up just enough.
02:05As he works his way past the marker for a first down.
02:20Give this one a try.
02:22First and 10.
02:24Ball on the 35-yard line.
02:30Miller comes in motion.
02:39Howard stops the play in the backfield.
02:41Matt couldn't find any room on that one.
02:44They really hustle on the defensive side of the ball.
02:46They're very good at clogging up the line,
02:48limiting the number of holes and cutback lanes
02:51that the back has to choose from.
02:54Howard sets up.
02:56Matt.
02:57Nice play for it.
02:59Gets the pass off.
03:00Batted down.
03:01That incomplete pass will bring up third down.
03:05Third and long.
03:07Ball on their own 34.
03:12Bradford moves in motion.
03:16Drops back with the pass.
03:18The pass was incomplete.
03:20Ambrose had his hands up
03:21and tipped the pass away.
03:22He has a great feel for defending the pass.
03:25And he always seems to be in great position
03:27to make a play in the ball.
03:28Stanley lines up in the backfield for the putt.
03:35Here's the kick.
03:40From the 37.
03:45And he's finally brought down at the 36.
03:48This offense, John, could have a very big day
03:51running the ball against a defensive unit
03:53that's really struggled in that area.
03:55McAllister.
03:57The 30.
03:59Eight-yard game.
04:02Within scoring distance.
04:07The quarterback lines up with two backfields.
04:10He's looking.
04:11Throws it.
04:12Right on top.
04:13Banks.
04:14Gunned the pass to his receivers.
04:16This is an example of the quarterback trusting his arm.
04:18He just made his decision
04:20and the ball was there in the blink of an eye.
04:24Throwing on first down.
04:26Looking downfield.
04:27Throwing.
04:29Touchdown, New Orleans.
04:30He threw it right in there for the score.
04:33The receiver ran a perfect round.
04:35And he turned around just in time
04:36to see the ball and make the catch.
04:41The kicker lines up for the point after.
04:47And it's on its way.
04:49And he ticks on the extra point.
04:51Quickly and efficiently.
04:53Down the field they went
04:54for a touchdown.
04:55Yeah, they saw a mismatch
04:56and they took advantage.
04:57This is one of those teams
04:59that could take you deep
05:00and score on one play.
05:01So when you're on defense
05:02you have to keep the play in front of you.
05:04You can't let anybody get behind you.
05:07From the three-yard line
05:08Houston takes over
05:09trailing by a touchdown.
05:11So they have first and ten here.
05:13Ball on their own 21.
05:19They'll take over
05:20at the 21-yard line.
05:24They'll bring him down
05:25at the 19.
05:27Matt wasn't able to get anything
05:28going in that play.
05:29They got there
05:30and shut that play down
05:31very quickly.
05:32That's just the case
05:33of studying game film
05:34this week paying off.
05:35When you know what they like to run
05:37in certain situations
05:38you can anticipate the play call
05:40and stop the play
05:41before it even gets started.
05:43Under pressure.
05:44Throws it.
05:45And he slips out of bounds
05:46at the 22-yard line.
05:48Perfect sideline catch
05:49by the receiver.
05:50That's something that takes
05:51excellent body control
05:53and years of practice
05:54to perfect.
05:55When you can make
05:56sideline catches like that
05:57a receiver is even more valuable
05:59because nearly every pass
06:01is a possible completion.
06:03With the pass
06:04on the run.
06:07Now this is one heck of a play.
06:09Look at it.
06:10They're in a hole here
06:11on third down
06:11and they come through
06:12with this perfect play
06:13that gets them a first
06:15and keeps the drive going.
06:17Set.
06:23Aimed it off to the back
06:24and he's tackled
06:26at the 38-yard
06:28maybe two on the count.
06:29Second and eight.
06:36Only one man in the backfield.
06:38All on the 38-yard line.
06:41On the delay.
06:44The defensive line
06:46points that one
06:47perfectly, John.
06:48Yeah, they sure did.
06:49What the offense
06:50was trying to do there
06:51was make it appear
06:52like it was a pass play
06:53and hand the ball
06:54off to the back
06:55after the defense
06:56goes flying by.
06:57Just didn't happen
06:58out there in that one.
07:01Drops back.
07:02Pressure.
07:02Gets the pass off.
07:05Incomplete pass.
07:06That drop pass
07:07brings up fourth down.
07:09You just hate to see
07:09that kind of thing happen.
07:10You're trying to get
07:12some momentum going
07:12or keeping your momentum going
07:14then your guy drops
07:15a catch of the ball
07:16to bring up fourth down.
07:18Here's the punt.
07:21This one goes out of bounds.
07:27They'll take over
07:29at the 41-yard line.
07:30First and ten.
07:34He tucks it away.
07:35He shakes his defender.
07:37Powering it in.
07:39Smith covered some
07:40good ground there.
07:41Hey, nice job up front.
07:43Holding their block
07:43and allowing him to get
07:45a good run for a first down.
07:51Looking upfield.
07:54McAllister didn't have
07:55much to work with
07:55on that running play.
07:57That's because the defense
07:58did a good job
07:59anticipating the snap count.
08:00With an aggressive defense
08:02like this,
08:02a hard count could be
08:04an effective way
08:05to keep him off-bound.
08:07Trying to draw him offside.
08:09With the throw.
08:10Incomplete pass.
08:11The incomplete pass
08:13brings up third down.
08:14They'll be faced
08:15with a long third down play here.
08:19On the carry.
08:20Play action.
08:21Surveys the field.
08:22Throwing.
08:23Picked off.
08:27The offensive line
08:28couldn't do the job
08:29and the pressure forced him
08:30to make a bad throw
08:31into coverage.
08:32I'll tell you,
08:32it's very important
08:33to have pressure
08:34on the quarterback.
08:35What that does
08:36is make the secondary's job
08:37a heck of a lot easier.
08:38And on that play,
08:39it led to an interception.
08:47Ains it off to the back.
08:49One yard gain
08:50by the running back.
08:54Split back this time.
09:01Car.
09:02Sets up.
09:05Matt.
09:08Matt.
09:09Couldn't even get out
09:09of the backfield.
09:10This defense is
09:11extremely active
09:12and effective up front.
09:13They do a good job
09:14of getting upfield quickly.
09:16Creating havoc
09:17in the backfield.
09:18Misdirection plays
09:19and draws
09:20can be a good way
09:21to use their speed
09:22and aggressiveness
09:23against them.
09:25It's rid of it.
09:27It's going the other way.
09:29The defender makes
09:30a leaping interception.
09:32He just stepped
09:32in front of that one.
09:33He saw his opportunity
09:35and boom,
09:35he took it.
09:36The offense gets ready
09:37to go following
09:38the interception.
09:40Fank gets set.
09:42They give it to the halfback.
09:44And that's a gain
09:45of about eight.
09:47Touchdown is the difference
09:49between the teams
09:49has switched sides
09:50and will strike
09:51the second quarter.
09:52make it stop.
09:58McAllister,
09:58the lone back.
10:00Pressure coming,
10:01surveying the field.
10:02Rosen,
10:03off and running.
10:05Great catch and run there.
10:07When you have speed
10:08and the other team
10:09knows you have speed,
10:10then you can get loose
10:12underneath
10:12because they're giving you
10:13such a cushion.
10:15Closing in,
10:16looking for an option.
10:18Rolling out to his right.
10:19The long pass
10:20over the middle.
10:21Almost picked off.
10:22John,
10:23I don't know how they
10:23didn't pick that one off.
10:24I bet you as soon
10:25as he let that go,
10:26he was wishing
10:27that he could have it back
10:28because that could easily
10:29have been an interception.
10:35He gets the toss
10:36to the left.
10:41The running back
10:42finds his way
10:43into the open field
10:44and picks up
10:44the first down.
10:45And what happened
10:46was they missed him
10:47with the blitz.
10:48And when they did that,
10:49there were no linebackers
10:50to converge
10:50and that's how he got
10:52by the first down.
10:53Ball play.
10:56Four,
10:56maybe five
10:57on the draw call.
10:59Houston
11:00comes out
11:01in their nickel package.
11:06Sixth play
11:07in this drive.
11:08Under pressure,
11:09looking downfield,
11:10throwing.
11:11On the one.
11:12He picked up
11:12just enough.
11:14Here's the thing.
11:15You have to realize
11:16that in this league,
11:16if you're going to make a catch,
11:18somebody's going to be there
11:19and try and knock it out of you.
11:20This time,
11:21he does a great job
11:22of absorbing the hit
11:23and still making the catch.
11:25Touchdown,
11:26New Orleans.
11:27Now,
11:27this is exactly how
11:28to get the ball
11:28in the end zone.
11:29Just get in behind
11:30the center and guard
11:31and keep pushing and pushing
11:32until they're putting up
11:34six points in the board.
11:35The kicking team
11:36heads out onto the field.
11:41The kick is up.
11:43The point answer is good.
11:45They've now scored
11:4614 unanswered points.
11:48This is one of those teams
11:49that's never out of a game.
11:50If you let them get going early,
11:52they can really control
11:53the tempo of the game.
11:54If they fall behind,
11:55they have the weapons
11:56on the offensive side
11:57to put points on the board
11:59very quickly.
12:00He kicks a low-line drive
12:02from the eight-yard line.
12:06Houston has to get to work
12:08quickly,
12:08trailing by two touchdowns.
12:0937 on the return.
12:21They'll take over
12:22at the 25-yard line.
12:24First and ten.
12:28Set!
12:30And hut!
12:31Hut!
12:32He's got off to the back.
12:35The back picks up
12:36about two on that carry.
12:38Game of two on the play.
12:50The offense lines up
12:51with splitbacks
12:52behind the quarterback.
12:54Still running.
12:55Tackle at the 38-yard line.
12:57So on the blitz,
12:58they can't get to the ball carrier
12:59until it's too late.
13:00And when you're blitzing
13:01to stop the run,
13:02the idea is bringing more guys
13:04and the offense can block.
13:05We also got to cut off
13:06the lanes and gaps
13:08that he can use
13:08to escape out of the backfield.
13:10That just didn't happen here.
13:12They'll go with the run
13:13once again.
13:14And he stopped
13:15at the 43.
13:17On the carry.
13:18Game of four
13:19on the play.
13:27They need six.
13:29Ball on their own 43.
13:36Gets a call again.
13:38That was stuffed on that play, John.
13:40They're just relentless
13:41when the offense
13:41decides to run the ball.
13:43They break down blocks
13:44very quickly.
13:45And they do a good job
13:46maintaining their gap assignments,
13:48limiting cutback opportunities.
13:51That's up into the pocket.
13:52He's rid of it.
13:53Card was in perfect position
13:54and knocked that pass away.
13:56That's just great positioning
13:57by the defender.
13:58He has his eyes
13:59in the backfield
14:00the whole time,
14:01and he was right there
14:02to break the playoff.
14:05Gardner is the deep return man.
14:12Here's the kick.
14:14Fair catch called for
14:16to get the ball back
14:17after a touchdown
14:18in the last possession.
14:19And let's see
14:20about a repeat performance
14:21on this drive.
14:27Pass play here on first down.
14:29He's looking.
14:30Bows him.
14:31The defender's got it.
14:33He just barely got it.
14:36The defense was sitting
14:37in the zone
14:38watching the quarterback eye.
14:40They saw where he was looking.
14:41And he didn't see them watching
14:43and boom!
14:43He threw it right
14:44into that zone coverage.
14:46Man in motion.
14:47Busses it out to the right.
14:49Runs him over.
14:51Mack didn't get any help
14:52from his offensive line.
14:54It was just about impossible
14:55to run when you have guys
14:56in the backfield
14:57just as soon as you
14:58snap the ball.
15:02The Texans line up
15:03and the shotgun.
15:04Ball on the 38-yard line.
15:10Caught.
15:10Get set.
15:12With the throw.
15:13Almost got it.
15:14I thought that was
15:15about to be picked off, John.
15:16Yeah, I think everyone else
15:17was thinking the same thing.
15:19We don't get a better chance
15:20at an interception
15:21than he had right there.
15:26Third and long.
15:27Ball on the 38-yard line.
15:34Dimebacks in for this play.
15:37He's looking.
15:38Gets the pass off.
15:39This one falls incomplete.
15:41He just couldn't find
15:41a way to control.
15:42You got so much stuff
15:43going on out there.
15:44You got to get off the line.
15:45You got to run a good route.
15:47You have to read the defense.
15:48You got to get open.
15:49But the most important thing
15:50you do after all that
15:52is you have to catch the ball.
15:57Offense couldn't get it done
15:58in the lineup to punt.
15:59Here's the punt.
16:02That one slips right
16:03through his hands.
16:05The Texans are there
16:06to pick up the ball.
16:14The lineup with six
16:15defensive backs.
16:16Ball on the 3-yard line.
16:22Man in motion.
16:29Gets the pass to the right.
16:32The running game
16:33has not been able
16:34to get started today.
16:35They got to hope
16:36that the passing offense
16:37is ready to carry the load.
16:39The quarterback is calling them
16:40back to the line of scrimmage.
16:45Pressure throws it out
16:47over to the left.
16:48No one there.
16:49And now it's third down.
16:50Interesting choice
16:51for the defense
16:52to try to avoid
16:53giving up the score
16:54right here.
17:03Miller moves in motion.
17:07Pressure coming.
17:08He's taken down
17:09in the backfield
17:10by Hodge.
17:11He read the blitz,
17:12just couldn't get rid
17:12of it in time.
17:13When the defense brings
17:14extra guys in a rush,
17:15you have to make
17:16your reads more quickly.
17:17You probably have time
17:18to look at your first read,
17:20maybe even your second,
17:21but you've got to get
17:22your hot receiver
17:23pretty quickly involved
17:24or you're going to take
17:25shots like that.
17:31Chris Brown comes out
17:32to attempt this one
17:33from about 26 yards.
17:52And it's up.
17:53The field goal attempt
17:55is good.
18:07The kickoff team lines up.
18:09He's lined up for the kickoff.
18:10The 46 back to return.
18:13Short kick.
18:14He didn't get much of that one.
18:17From the 16.
18:18Looking for leverage.
18:21Well, they just have to keep
18:23doing what they've been doing.
18:24The defense hasn't put up
18:25too much resistance so far.
18:27Hey, I know they want
18:28to increase the lead
18:29before half,
18:30but they've got to be careful
18:31and not let the other team
18:32back in it with a turnover.
18:34All on the 29-yard line.
18:39Thanks.
18:40Get set.
19:16Back to the field.
19:17Dropping back.
19:18Closing in.
19:19Gets rid of it.
19:20Behind it.
19:21But he has it.
19:21Good-looking play there
19:23as they pick up the first down
19:24and keep the drive alive.
19:27It's first and ten.
19:35Set.
19:41Pass play here on first down.
19:43Under pressure.
19:44So the loose yardage
19:45on that tackle by Hill.
19:47Thanks.
19:47Didn't get that pass off
19:48quickly enough.
19:49Switching to a three-step drop
19:50might be a pretty good idea.
19:52He has to find a way
19:53to get that ball out of there
19:54a little more quickly.
19:57Set.
19:58Bosses it right.
20:02McAllister.
20:02Couldn't escape the pursuit.
20:04and was cut down quickly.
20:05These guys up front
20:06are very tough to block
20:07because they can use
20:08their size and strength
20:09to get excellent leverage
20:10on running play.
20:12Sometimes they struggle
20:13a little with their consistency.
20:14But they always seem
20:15to be a big factor
20:17when the game's out of line.
20:18The running game
20:19has been the key
20:20to the offense
20:20so far in the game.
20:21Let's see if it continues.
20:23It's the end of the second quarter
20:25with a score.
20:26New Orleans, 14.
20:28Houston, 3.
20:32Let's get back to the play
20:34on the field.
20:35Brown is back
20:37and ready to put this one
20:38in the air.
20:41And a short kickoff.
20:45From the 14-yard line.
20:48This team has played well
20:50and had a solid first half.
20:51And now they find themselves
20:53in great position
20:54to win the game.
20:55It's first and 10.
20:56Ball on their own 29.
20:59Houston comes out
21:00with their nickel pack.
21:01He's looking.
21:02Rolling out to his right.
21:04He has it.
21:05Right on the mark there
21:06to move the change.
21:07And the thing is
21:08the secondary looked
21:09a little on their heels
21:10on that one.
21:10They just couldn't converge
21:12on the ball in time.
21:13And now they get
21:14a whole new set of downs.
21:19Fanks scans the defense
21:20from the gun.
21:21Looking downfield.
21:22Throwing.
21:23And this pass is completed.
21:25He threw that one
21:25underneath the coverage.
21:27And that's exactly
21:27the thing they teach you to do.
21:29Always take what
21:30the defense gives you.
21:3144-yard line.
21:34Set!
21:35McAllister.
21:38A very well-drawn up play.
21:40It was well-executed.
21:42They hit their blocks
21:43and the back found
21:43the right hole
21:44to get down the field
21:46and pick up a first down.
21:50Set!
21:51Again with the run.
21:52The third one.
21:54Powering it in.
21:55The 20.
21:55The 10.
21:56Five.
21:57Touchdown, Williams.
21:59And a spectacular running play
22:01that goes the distance.
22:02He tucked that ball away
22:03and took off.
22:04And nobody was going
22:05to catch him.
22:07Target comes in
22:08for the extra point.
22:14The kick is up
22:15and he pecks on
22:17the extra point.
22:18The Saints
22:19pour it on
22:19with another score.
22:21But you can't ask
22:22for much more
22:22out of a drive
22:23that gets you
22:23into the end zone.
22:24Big players
22:25make big plays
22:26and that scores touchdown.
22:28Give some credit
22:28to the linemen out there.
22:30They're the biggest guys
22:31in the field
22:31and without them
22:32no one gets
22:34into the end zone.
22:35Been a rough start
22:36to this game
22:36but they still have
22:37enough time
22:38to turn it around.
22:44The deep man.
22:48Max.
22:49He'll bring him down
22:50at the 26.
22:52About a two-yard gain here.
22:56The Texans
22:57line up in the shotgun.
23:06Pressure.
23:06Gets the pass off.
23:07He easily
23:08could have taken
23:09that one all the way back.
23:10He's back in the zone.
23:11He's reading.
23:12He sees the quarterback
23:13the whole way
23:14and then he gets
23:15a chance at an interception.
23:16He just didn't finish
23:17the play.
23:27I think this defense
23:28looks forward
23:29to these third down
23:30situations
23:31because they've been
23:32stopping him today.
23:33With the throw
23:34drops the interception.
23:36They're lucky
23:36that one wasn't
23:37picked off.
23:38Yeah he started
23:39thinking about
23:39how he was going
23:40to take it back
23:40the other way
23:41and make a big play
23:42for the defense.
23:43He just forgot
23:44to bring the ball
23:44with him.
23:54Stanley is back
23:56to putt.
23:57Here's the kick.
24:01From the 34.
24:05The offense
24:06is back on the field
24:07after that last
24:08touchdown drive.
24:09Let's see if they
24:10try to move the ball
24:11on the ground again.
24:312nd and 4
24:32coming up here.
24:34Ball on the
24:3446 yard line.
24:39Pressure coming
24:40with the pass.
24:41He hits his receiver.
24:43How about that speed?
24:44Great individual effort
24:46by Stallworth.
24:46Hey that's all
24:47you have to do
24:47with this guy.
24:48Just give him the ball
24:49and let him outrun
24:50everybody on the field.
24:53The offense lines up
24:54with splitbacks
24:55behind the quarterback.
24:56With the throw.
24:57Thrown behind
24:57but caught.
24:58He's at the 20.
25:00That reception
25:00moves the change
25:01and they pick up
25:02a first down.
25:03And as a receiver
25:04you have to be ready
25:05for any type of pass.
25:07He did a good job
25:08of hanging on
25:08to that last one
25:09because it got there
25:10in a hurry.
25:11He's looking.
25:12Rosen.
25:13He put everything
25:14he had
25:14behind that throw.
25:15That's one way
25:16to make sure
25:17your receiver
25:18doesn't drop the ball.
25:19You throw it so hard
25:20that he has to catch it
25:21in self-defense.
25:23Just put it right on him.
25:24Surveying the field.
25:26Dungeon out to the right.
25:27Touchdown New Orleans.
25:29And he slings it in there
25:30for the touchdown.
25:31Yeah that route
25:32was all about timing
25:34between the quarterback
25:35and his receiver.
25:36That guy knew
25:37exactly when the pass
25:39was going to get there.
25:40He turned around
25:41and boom.
25:42The pass was right
25:43on the money.
25:44Banks has now thrown
25:45for two touchdowns.
25:46Starting to get
25:47into the groove
25:48that's 14 consecutive points.
25:50It sure seems like
25:51they've figured out
25:52the best way
25:53to move the ball
25:53against this defense.
25:55Low line drive.
25:58From the nine yard line.
26:02The Texans
26:03have their work
26:04cut out for them
26:04as they take over
26:05at the 26-yard line.
26:26Caught with a man in motion.
26:29To the air on first down.
26:32And they go
26:32with a delay.
26:34Picks up five.
26:35Four on the carry.
26:36Five yard gain
26:38on the play.
26:40Second and five.
26:41All on the 31-yard line.
26:47Using motion.
26:51With the pass.
26:53Incomplete.
26:54And he's unable
26:55to hang on to that one.
26:56No receiver's perfect
26:57so you'll even see
26:58the best ones
26:59drop a few.
27:00But the key word
27:01is a few.
27:04Closing in.
27:05throws it.
27:07This one falls
27:08incomplete.
27:09The back was the target
27:10but he couldn't bring it
27:11in for the catch.
27:12The back who is a good
27:13receiver out of the backfield
27:14could really give you
27:15that extra dimension
27:16on offense.
27:17You have to find a way
27:18to try and catch it
27:19when your hands are on it.
27:23Here's the punt.
27:25And he chooses
27:26Duck to return this one.
27:28That's a good job
27:29of getting downfield
27:30by the cover team
27:31to force the fair catch.
27:34They'll start the drive
27:36at the 39-yard line.
27:38First and 10.
27:42McAllister.
27:43Stiff on to the ground.
27:46They brought some extra people
27:47but couldn't stop him
27:48before he got the first.
27:50And run blitzing these guys
27:51isn't a bad idea
27:52because you know
27:53they like to run.
27:54You've got to be sure
27:55to bring guys
27:55in the right place.
27:56If you think they might
27:57run to the outside,
27:59additional blitzers
28:00in the middle
28:00isn't going to help them out.
28:02The quarterback thought
28:02he had that one.
28:03You've got to deliver
28:04the ball out there quickly
28:05but it has to be catchable.
28:07You've got to use some touch.
28:10McAllister
28:11makes the handle
28:12with the pass.
28:13The 30.
28:14The 20.
28:16The 10.
28:17Touchdown.
28:19Long touchdown pass.
28:21Yeah, the quarterback
28:22delivered that ball out there
28:23where he had some room
28:24to work with.
28:25Once he got free,
28:26it was off to the races.
28:28Carney comes in
28:29to attempt the point after.
28:34And it's up.
28:35And the extra point is good.
28:37The Saints really rolling now
28:40as they continue
28:40to build their lead.
28:41They were set up
28:42with good field position
28:43and were able to make
28:44the most of it
28:45by getting the touchdown.
28:46Whether it's your special teams
28:47or defense
28:48that sets you up
28:49with great field position,
28:51your job as an offense
28:52is to take advantage of it.
28:54And they did it right there.
28:55So the offense takes over.
28:57The last time they had the ball,
28:58they had a very tough time
28:59getting anything going.
29:04The quarterback lines up
29:05with two backs behind him.
29:07Hand it off.
29:10The back picks up
29:11about two on that carry.
29:13The Texans line up
29:15with two backs
29:16behind the quarterback.
29:16The ball on the 37-yard line.
29:21Set!
29:23Put hut!
29:25Hut!
29:26Under pressure.
29:27It's rid of it.
29:28The defense has it.
29:30This defense having a great day today.
29:32Their third interception of the game.
29:34The offense gets ready to go
29:36following the interception.
29:39We'll go back to the play on the field.
29:42The Texans come out
29:43in a nickel package.
29:45He's looking.
29:45Throws over to his right.
29:47He hits his receiver.
29:48Banks.
29:49Hit his target.
29:50And they have a first down.
29:51This guy makes
29:52the tough catches look easy.
29:57It's first and ten.
29:58Ball on the 34-yard line.
30:02Set!
30:03Receives the handoff.
30:07He's had an excellent game so far.
30:09He now has over
30:10100 yards on the ground.
30:15They line up
30:15in the I-formation.
30:16Ball on the 24-yard line.
30:20Set!
30:21Hut!
30:21Going to the air
30:22on first down.
30:24Slings it to the outside.
30:25That incomplete pass
30:26brings up second down.
30:28So it's second and ten.
30:33Set!
30:35Pressure.
30:35Looking for a receiver.
30:37Guns it to the end zone.
30:39Touchdown!
30:40Saints!
30:40Ernie Conway
30:41made a better play
30:42on that touchdown catch
30:44than his previous run.
30:50He'll get set for the extra point.
30:55Hut!
30:57And it's on its way.
30:59And he ticks on
31:00the extra point.
31:04And we go back to the game.
31:07Karn in
31:08to kick this one off.
31:09Line up for the kickoff.
31:11Number 88.
31:12Back deep to return.
31:15Kicks a line drive.
31:19From the two.
31:21Two.
31:22Two.
31:22Two.
31:22Two.
31:23Two.
31:23Two.
31:23Two.
31:23Two.
31:24Two.
31:25A nice job
31:25the last time around
31:26forcing the interception.
31:28The defense lines up
31:29in the nickel.
31:36Mack.
31:38Mack couldn't get out
31:40of the backfield.
31:40That was just a defensive line
31:42getting lower
31:43than the offensive line.
31:44When your defensive guys
31:45up front
31:46can control
31:46the line of scrimmage,
31:47it makes it very difficult
31:49to move the ball
31:50on offense.
31:51He surveys the field.
31:53Gets the pass off.
31:55Nice call
31:56going to the air
31:57and that'll move the change.
31:58Gain of 10 on the play.
32:00First and 10.
32:02Ball on the 34-yard line.
32:07Karn sends a man in motion.
32:12So we've reached
32:13the end of the third quarter
32:14with the Saints
32:15ahead of the Texans.
32:1742-3.
32:44.
33:15And we go back to the game.
33:27Howard pulls him down behind the line.
33:30They're not just going to give up on the run, no matter how ineffective it is.
33:35Second and 12.
33:37Ball on the 32-yard line.
33:44That's rid of it.
33:45Almost intercepted.
33:46Very lucky that wasn't intercepted.
33:48Yeah, the defender was in a perfect position to come up with a big play.
33:51He just left his hands over on the sideline.
33:59The Techman line up in the shotgun.
34:02Gets the pass off.
34:03Trying to convert through the air, but the pass was off the mark.
34:06Number 52 on the coverage.
34:17Gardner is back to receive this kick.
34:19Here's the kick.
34:24The 38.
34:27A good return on that punt.
34:28Yep, he was one block away from getting into the open field and turning this one into a huge return.
34:40To carry it, play action.
34:42Pressure coming.
34:43Throwing.
34:44And it's caught.
34:45And it'll be second in less than two following that pass.
34:49To carry it, play action.
34:51To carry it.
35:52Ball on the 43-yard line.
35:56Thanks.
35:57Get set.
35:58Drops back.
35:59Closing in.
36:00Surveying the field.
36:01With the throw.
36:02Nearly intercepted.
36:03Missed opportunity.
36:04What the defense is doing is they're watching the quarterback's eyes.
36:07They're cluing.
36:08They're in position so that whatever happens, the ball is in front of them.
36:12And that time, it almost got them an interception.
36:15He's looking.
36:16With the pass.
36:16This one falls incomplete.
36:19Not much touch on that pass.
36:20You may have tried to put a little too much oomph on that throw.
36:28He'll try to place this one inside their five.
36:34Here's the catch.
36:36He signals for a fair catch.
36:38Pass the goal line.
36:39No return here.
36:44New Orleans comes out in their nickel package.
36:46On the 20-yard line.
36:52Using motion.
36:58Yo, when you're running game is this ineffective, you have to look other places for offense.
37:06So, it's second and ten.
37:13Drops back.
37:14Under pressure.
37:15He was tipped.
37:16He somehow got that pass off.
37:18He knew he didn't have much time.
37:19And he decided to get rid of the ball quickly on that one.
37:22And ten.
37:23Ball on the 20-yard line.
37:27Set.
37:30Hut.
37:32Hut.
37:34It's rid of it.
37:36Looks like he might have had another option out there, John.
37:38He's got to do a better job of reading the defense and going through his progressions.
37:42You can't lock in on one guy and try and force it to him.
37:45He has to know that other guys in the offense can make plays out there, too.
37:49Gardner lines up deep for the putt return.
37:53Here's the punt.
37:57Puts it on the ground.
37:59The Saints scoop it up.
38:05Following the turnover now, it's first and ten.
38:11Only one man back.
38:13To the air on first down.
38:15Looking downfield.
38:16Launches this one to the left.
38:18Stevens brings him down at the 20-yard line.
38:21Game of 26 on the play.
38:29Set.
38:30Looking for an option.
38:32Going deep.
38:33Looking for something in the end zone.
38:35Touchdown, New Orleans.
38:36He slips behind the secondary and got open for the touchdown.
38:39Now, that's just how they practiced it.
38:41They go over this play all the time at practice, and they use it a few times in just about
38:46every game.
38:46And let me tell you, most of the time it's successful just like that.
38:52The kick is up, and the extra point is good.
38:56So that drive took only a few ticks off the clock.
38:58It still got them into the end zone.
39:00Hey, I guess they figured, who needs ball control?
39:03As long as you're getting touchdowns, it really doesn't matter if it takes a long time or no time at
39:08all.
39:08He kicks a low-line drive from the five.
39:17The offense takes over after they were three and out on their last possession.
39:26Car, back in the shotgun.
39:30Throws out to the left.
39:33This pass is incomplete.
39:37So it's second and ten.
39:39Ball on their own, 27.
39:49Steps up with the pass.
39:52This one falls incomplete.
39:54Number 85, the intended receiver on the play.
39:58New Orleans comes out in their nickel package.
40:00Ball on the 27-yard line.
40:05That's right!
40:09Pressure.
40:10It's going the other way.
40:15That's now three interceptions for these guys.
40:24The offense gets ready to go following the interception.
40:32Pull back handoff.
40:35Good game there and a first down.
40:37If the defense keeps giving up runs like that for first downs, they'll have to make some adjustments to slow
40:44this guy down.
40:47Set!
40:53He hands it off.
40:55He's inside the tent.
40:57He's now picked up over 100 yards on the ground.
41:00This two-yard gain on the play.
41:03First and goal.
41:04Ball on the two-yard line.
41:09Set!
41:10Set!
41:11Set!
41:12Set!
41:12Set!
41:18Set!
41:21Set!
41:33Set!
41:34Set!
41:35Set!
41:36Touchdown, Saints!
41:37Here's how they get in on that one.
41:39They just can't bring him down.
41:41And he plows into the end zone for the score.
41:47Set!
41:47So they're trying to tack on the extra point.
41:53And it's on its way.
41:55The point after is good.
41:59Carney will be kicking off.
42:03Number 88, back to return.
42:06Low line drive.
42:11From the two.
42:15The Texans face an uphill battle as they begin this drive.
42:18At the 24.
42:28Going to the air on first down.
42:30Pressure coming.
42:31Gets the pass off.
42:35New Orleans comes out in their nickel package.
42:43Car, get set.
42:50Dropping back.
42:51Closing in.
42:52Gets rid of it.
42:53Ooh, nearly picked off.
42:55When you're down by this much,
42:56the offense doesn't want to be facing too many third and fourth downs.
43:00Because that means they're taking too much time.
43:02They should be getting first every one or two downs
43:05if they want to have a chance at this thing.
43:07New Orleans comes out in a dime back.
43:09Under pressure.
43:10Fakes the throw.
43:12Throws it.
43:13This pass is incomplete.
43:15They'll punt it here with the game out of reach.
43:25Unable to get anything going on that series,
43:27they'll have to punt it away here.
43:32From the 46.
43:34Offense taking over again here.
43:36The last time they ran the ball very effectively
43:38and got it into the end zone.
43:40This one is just about in the book.
43:43First and ten.
43:44Ball on the 50-yard line.
43:48Set.
43:50Throwing on first down.
43:52Gets the call.
43:53Breaks free.
43:54The 40.
43:56Houston calls a timeout.
43:58They have two left.
44:01Well, he's shaken up after that play
44:03and will get you a report from the sideline
44:05when we get the information.
44:06It's first and ten.
44:08Ball on the 32-yard line.
44:13Thanks.
44:14Get set.
44:21This fullback is very difficult to bring down
44:24and he also has some pretty good moves.
44:25Yeah, he works out with a group of guys in the offseason
44:28that have one of the roughest training regimens
44:30that I've ever heard about.
44:31You know how hard Jerry Rice has always worked out, right?
44:34Well, these guys might be right there with him.
44:36They lift weights.
44:37They run on treadmills.
44:39Climb walls.
44:39You name it.
44:40They do it.
44:53Putt.
44:54Handed it off to the fullback.
44:56Smith barely gets enough.
44:58They went through the middle and picked up a first down.
45:00That's my kind of football.
45:02The big guy's up front,
45:04getting a hat on somebody,
45:05and making a hole to get a first down.
45:08Set.
45:28Good game for the offense here in the second half.
45:31This is one of those guys that seems to play better as the game goes on.
45:34The more he gets the ball, the better he does.
45:36So I'd expect to see him get quite a few touches here as the game winds down.
45:41John Carney will attempt this one from 32 yards away.
45:52And it's up.
45:54The attempt is good.
45:59Carney is just about ready to kick this one away.
46:02Number 88, back to return.
46:06It's a low line drive.
46:07This one is short.
46:09From the 28-yard line.
46:12Slips the tackle.
46:15There's the final gun.
46:16The final score is New Orleans 59.
46:1959.
46:20Houston, three.
46:22Three.
46:27Three.
46:36Three.
