Willard and Vic Washington, the setbacks, a pitch to Vic Washington.

There's that sweep again.

He's got the yardage to the 30, 35, and brought down to the 36-yard line by Al Atkinson.

A 16-yard pickup by Vic Washington.

he's actually I think he's played linebacker before this and he's big enough that now they've got him at defensive end so really what they're trying to do is they've got three other down linemen who've never played let's say a linebacking position and with Mathis in there it gives you another down lineman with a little bit more mobility than say somebody else that'll be his substitute to play strictly in the defensive line because they may be going today without Paul Warfield right and uh There's no doubt going to help us a little bit maybe, but at the same time, you know, this is the NFL, and every man that they put out there on that field, I'm sure every coach would like to have his number ones, but I've seen a lot of number twos do a mighty fine job.

Well, they've got a number two quarterback also, and I see Al Atkinson limping just ever so slightly, and Larry Grantham probably won't play today.

Yeah, that's going to, you know, take away from us, you know, a little bit.

But as I said before, I think that we've got 40 players on our team just as they have on theirs, and all 40 are capable of playing or they'd be somewhere

Chris Peresopolis made the tackle, and Peresopolis is injured on the play.

And here come the six.

Merle, Al Atkinson is hurting.

He's got a bad foot.
