Linehan's Alvin Harper call

[NorthwestDallas40]

Jimmy Johnson-esque big balls by Linehan to call the bubble screen to Beasley in the final drive to end the game and keep the ball away from the Niners. Loved it.

Yah...gutsy for sure. Loved how they iced the game. Haven't enjoyed a 4th quarter like that since we were grinding teams to dust in 2014.

 

[Eddie]

This was a good, solid win. We won as a team and won with character.

What was the flag on that play?

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

I was thinking the same thing. I texted my people.. that was a "Jimmy" call right there. Shades of '92..

 

[Cmac]

I agree....but it wasn't big like the game AHarper was in......Kudos to the staff.

Yep, Dak obviously has a special rapport going on with Beasley and it's paying off big time. I'm looking forward to seeing it continue into the future. Beasley is very likely assured of some good things coming his way when Dak eventually takes over -- nothing like job security!

No..

But same team and same result.

Deja' vu.

Same end of the field also

That was sweet. "Coley Cole" has some moves. (Those who watched the sitcom "Martin" get that reference).

 

[Hoofbite]

Good call but not that good of a call.

Not that I disagree on the call, it was awesome, but wouldn't it be Norv Turner-esque balls? Or was it Garrett making a Jimmy call?

Different stadium, but love the results.

Not exactly. Candlestick Park is history. Always hated that cesspool.

Jimmy told Norv to throw the ball

The 49ers spent all day with 8-9 men in the box - Dallas was down two starting offensive linemen and their #1 WR - yet the Cowboys still put up 194 rushing.

The WR screen to Beasley was paramount as Dak and Zeke play-actioned the inside run and the entire 9er defense sucked in on that. Beasley was off to the races - and he had the sense to just hold onto the ball (unlike Terrance Williams a week ago) and STAYED IN BOUNDS.

Actually, that was all set up from the previous drive where Zeke took over. Even though Dallas only ended up with a FG (yeah disappointing), the Cowboys took over SIX MINUTES off the 4th quarter clock!

THAT WAS THE EARLY 90s WAY OF SHUTTING OUT THE OPPONENT!

That call would have been even better had it been called on 1st down at the goal line. Then all of this would have been moot!

 

[Nightman]

What was the flag on that play?

I think they were going to call Illegal Man Downfield or Offensive PI because of Witten blocking downfield........but if the ball is thrown behind the line of scrimmage then it is OK

regardless it was a great call.......I didn't want to punt it back

 

[Cowboyz88]

All I know as I was watching it was that it parted like the Red Sea!

That would be a good call if you like pick sixes.
