| There's a moment of orderly
silence before a football play begins. |
00:00:32.396 - 00:00:35.832 |
| Players are in position, linemen
are frozen, and anything is possible. |
00:00:36.233 - 00:00:40.533 |
| Almost Indian-summer
weather here in mid-November. |
00:00:40.704 - 00:00:43.764 |
| Then, like a traffic accident,
stuff begins to randomly collide. |
00:00:45.409 - 00:00:50.312 |
| From the snap of the ball
to the snap of the first bone... |
00:00:50.481 - 00:00:53.245 |
| ...is closer to four seconds than five. |
00:00:53.417 - 00:00:56.147 |
| First and 10.
Riggins, flea flicker back to Theismann. |
00:00:56.320 - 00:00:59.221 |
| Theismann's in a lot of trouble. |
00:00:59.390 - 00:01:01.290 |
| One Mississippi.
Joe Theismann, the Redskins' quarterback... |
00:01:04.328 - 00:01:07.593 |
| ...takes the snap and hands off
to his running back. |
00:01:07.765 - 00:01:10.233 |
| First and 10. Riggins- |
00:01:10.401 - 00:01:11.732 |
| Two Mississippi. |
00:01:11.902 - 00:01:13.494 |
| It's a trick play, a flea flicker... |
00:01:13.671 - 00:01:15.832 |
| ...and the running back tosses the ball
back to the quarterback. |
00:01:16.006 - 00:01:18.941 |
| Flea flicker back to Theismann. |
00:01:19.109 - 00:01:21.441 |
| Three Mississippi. |
00:01:21.912 - 00:01:23.038 |
| Up to now, the play's been defined
by what the quarterback sees. |
00:01:23.214 - 00:01:27.241 |
| It’s about to be defined
by what he doesn't. |
00:01:27.418 - 00:01:30.819 |
| Four Mississippi. |
00:01:31.589 - 00:01:32.920 |
| Lawrence Taylor is the best
defensive player in the NFL... |
00:01:33.090 - 00:01:36.719 |
| ...and has been from the time he
stepped onto the field as a rookie. |
00:01:36.894 - 00:01:40.261 |
