| There's a moment of orderly silence
before a football play begins. |
00:01:26.030 - 00:01:29.820 |
| Players are in position,
linemen are frozen, |
00:01:29.870 - 00:01:32.840 |
| and anything's possible. |
00:01:32.890 - 00:01:34.320 |
| TV commentary |
00:01:34.370 - 00:01:38.640 |
| Then, like a traffic accident,
staff begins to randomly collide. |
00:01:39.010 - 00:01:43.250 |
| From the snap of the ball
to the snap of the first bone |
00:01:44.150 - 00:01:46.840 |
| is closer to four seconds than five. |
00:01:46.890 - 00:01:49.690 |
| TV commentary |
00:01:49.970 - 00:01:55.110 |
| One Mississippi. |
00:01:57.910 - 00:01:59.220 |
| Joe Theismann,
the Redskins quarterback |
00:01:59.270 - 00:02:01.480 |
| takes the snap and hands off
to his running back. |
00:02:01.530 - 00:02:03.770 |
| TV commentary |
00:02:03.820 - 00:02:05.500 |
| Two Mississippi. |
00:02:05.600 - 00:02:07.270 |
| It's a trick play, a flea flicker, |
00:02:07.320 - 00:02:09.680 |
| and the running back tosses the ball
back to the quarterback. |
00:02:09.730 - 00:02:12.710 |
| TV commentary |
00:02:12.760 - 00:02:14.630 |
| Three Mississippi. |
00:02:15.600 - 00:02:16.810 |
| Up to now the play's been defined
by the what the quarterback sees. |
00:02:16.860 - 00:02:21.050 |
| It's about to be defined
by what he doesn't. |
00:02:21.100 - 00:02:24.250 |
| Four Mississippi. |
00:02:25.330 - 00:02:26.580 |
| Lawrence Taylor is the best
defensive player in the NFL |
00:02:26.630 - 00:02:30.330 |
