| There's a moment of orderly silence
before a football play begins. |
00:01:26.000 - 00:01:29.800 |
| Players are in position,
linemen are frozen, |
00:01:29.800 - 00:01:32.700 |
| and anything's possible. |
00:01:32.700 - 00:01:34.200 |
| TV commentary |
00:01:34.200 - 00:01:38.500 |
| Then, like a traffic accident,
staff begins to randomly collide. |
00:01:38.900 - 00:01:43.100 |
| From the snap of the ball
to the snap of the first bone |
00:01:44.000 - 00:01:46.700 |
| is closer to four seconds than five. |
00:01:46.700 - 00:01:49.500 |
| TV commentary |
00:01:49.800 - 00:01:55.000 |
| One Mississippi. |
00:01:57.800 - 00:01:59.100 |
| Joe Theismann,
the Redskins quarterback |
00:01:59.100 - 00:02:01.300 |
| takes the snap and hands off
to his running back. |
00:02:01.400 - 00:02:03.600 |
| TV commentary |
00:02:03.700 - 00:02:05.400 |
| Two Mississippi. |
00:02:05.500 - 00:02:07.100 |
| It's a trick play, a flea flicker, |
00:02:07.200 - 00:02:09.500 |
| and the running back tosses the ball
back to the quarterback. |
00:02:09.600 - 00:02:12.600 |
| TV commentary |
00:02:12.600 - 00:02:14.500 |
| Three Mississippi. |
00:02:15.500 - 00:02:16.700 |
| Up to now the play's been defined
by the what the quarterback sees. |
00:02:16.700 - 00:02:20.900 |
| It's about to be defined
by what he doesn't. |
00:02:21.000 - 00:02:24.100 |
| Four Mississippi. |
00:02:25.200 - 00:02:26.400 |
| Lawrence Taylor is the best
defensive player in the NFL |
00:02:26.500 - 00:02:30.200 |
