00:00Second, Antoine Smith in the backfield with the pitch.
00:03There's a block by Woody, but a nice tackle made by Jay Williams and Mike Rucker on that defensive line for the Carolina Panthers.
00:11A loss of four on the play as you take a look at pro bowler Tom Brady.
00:16Just a good person to be around. You enjoy it, you're happy for him.
00:19You know, regardless, fans around the country don't really know who this guy is yet.
00:23New England knows who he is, but he's establishing a reputation as a guy who just doesn't make mistakes.
00:28And mistakes is usually what hurts a football team.
00:30Second down and 14 from the 42.
00:34Smith still in the backfield, he'll get the pitch.
00:36The thousand-yard gainer with some nice weaving up past the 50 and down to the 49.
00:42Brought down by Hitchcock and Deion Grant.
00:47A gain of nine.
00:50For the New England Patriots today on their offensive line, Matt Light, Compton, Woody, and Truese and Robinson Randall.
00:59In the backfield, Smith and Edwards.
01:01Receivers Brown and Patton, the tight end is Rod Rutledge.
01:06Third down and five from the Carolina 49.
01:13Out of the pocket, Brady.
01:14Files on the side.
01:15Caught by Troy Brown.
01:17And should be enough for a first down to the 43-yard line.
01:20On third and five, he picks up six.
01:24Brown with his 96th reception, which ties a single-season record in 94 by then-tight end Ben Coates.
01:32Line four, Carolina Williams, Buckner, Jenkins, and Michael Rucker.
01:36Linebackers, Lester Towns flanked by Dan Morgan and Darren Hambrick, the ex-cowboy.
01:43Secondary, Hitchcock, Grant, Minter, and Evans.
01:46It is a first down for New England on the first drive of the game from the Carolina 43.
01:50Outside quickly to Brown.
01:54Chousting with Hitchcock and belted by Mike Minter, number 30.
01:57Minter is the leading tackler for the Carolina Panthers.
02:01The defense of Carolina, number 31.
02:03Their offense, number 31 in the NFL.
02:05I think a real indication as to what the Carolina Panthers' mindset is is being answered here right now by the way they get to the ball carrier.
02:14You're seeing the Panthers' defense getting to the New England guys who have the football.
02:18And, you know, so all this cars running in the parking lot business about them leaving for the offseason.
02:22You can probably forget about that right now.
02:23Second down, five in the 30.
02:25What a catch by David Patton, sliding his way to the 26-yard line.
02:30Hits up a first down, a gain of 12.
02:32And so far, the Patriots moving with ease downfield.
02:37Yeah, so all that business about them not being leaving early in Carolina and the bye week for the Patriots.
02:42Forget about that being a problem.
02:43New England showing up, executing extremely well right now.
02:46Very crisp with the way they're running their offense.
02:49Numbers on the ex-Brown and ex-Giant David Patton.
02:52First and 10.
02:53And 12-Smith, the ex-Bill.
02:56Reaving his way down to the 21-yard line and picking up about four yards on the play.
03:00A 1,000-yard rusher for the New England Patriots.
03:05Yeah, you know, you talk about the last three seasons.
03:07These are two seasons right here.
03:09That's two.
03:09Look what he's done in one season with New England.
03:12And the touchdowns and the production.
03:14But it's a guy, he's a big back.
03:15They wanted a big, powerful back.
03:17And they got that in the offseason.
03:19They were very fortunate to get Antoine Smith, an ingredient that New England's been missing for a while.
03:23The two tight ends are out, second down, sixth, 21 of Carolina, seventh play of the drive.
03:29Brady.
03:30Tristan, here comes Jenkins.
03:31There goes the pass.
03:32It's caught by Edwards.
03:34Humbling inside the 10.
03:35Tackled by Morgan at the 5.
03:37And New England's got it.
03:39First and goal to go.
03:40A 17-yard pickup through the air for the versatile pullback, Mark Edwards.
03:45Really good execution of showing to the left side.
03:48Watch how patient he is in selling it to the left side.
03:50Brady looks hard left.
03:51Antoine Smith allows the line to get out in front of Mark Edwards.
03:55And then Edwards being a smart, bull-nosed guy like he is, looks for that end zone.
03:59No dancing around, especially on slippery turf here.
04:02Just get north and south.
04:03Empty backfield.
04:05Take a look at Edwards, who becomes a receiver on one side.
04:08Antoine Smith, the receiver on the other side.
04:11Five receivers in all.
04:12First and goal at the 5.
04:16The snap from Compton.
04:17He goes outside.
04:18It's incomplete as he was aiming for Troy Brown.
04:21Damian Woody snaps when Brady is under him.
04:25Mike Compton moves over from guard on shotgun snaps.
04:28It's second down and goal.
04:29One of the assets they have in New England is the multiple formations they use.
04:33They really do get themselves vanilla defensive looks because they move around so much with
04:39their personnel groupings that you almost are forced on defense to get vanilla.
04:43Smith in the backfield.
04:45Second down goal at the 5.
04:48Good job to Smith.
04:49The block by Edwards.
04:50Cutting it.
04:50Oh, what a nice block on the play by Mike Compton, who opens up the gate.
04:55It's a five-yard touchdown run with the flag down at the 6.
05:03And it's against Noringa.
05:04That'll wipe it away and gives up a pretty good-looking block by Compton, the left guard.
05:11Holding.
05:13Number 71.
05:14Offense.
05:15It's a 10-yard penalty.
05:17Remains.
05:18Second down.
05:19Well, there is no 71.
05:20I assume he means 77, Compton.
05:22Yeah, he has to be talking about Compton, especially Compton's walking back over there.
05:28You got that certain walk when you're guilty.
05:31You just got it, man.
05:32It's like, I didn't take the candy.
05:34How about the guy, though?
05:34Compton comes in here with the shade, visor on, a foggy day, a little freezing rain.
05:39I wonder how much he can see.
05:41A down efficiency for both these teams.
05:45Second goal at the 15-yard line.
05:48Smith in the backfield.
05:49And Brady, great time.
05:53Good block by Compton again, looking for the end zone incomplete.
05:56Fred Coleman was in his sights, a guy they called up off the practice squad.
06:01Back in November, it is third and goal at the 15-yard line on the game's opening drive.
06:09I think Minter showed up today.
06:10What do you think?
06:11Yes.
06:11He's not, his car's not running in the parking lot.
06:14Patrick Pass and J.R. Redmond have checked in for New England.
06:21Third and goal at the 15.
06:23Tenth play of the drive.
06:24It's Brown in motion to the bottom of his screen.
06:35Outside it goes.
06:37J.R. Redmond.
06:38Getting a block from Peck to pass.
06:40And a block down field from Peck.
06:42He's down to the three.
06:45It's now fourth down and goal.
06:47And for the New England Patriots, instead of going for six, they're going to try for three.
06:52And so Belichick playing a conservative.
06:54Carolina's defense does their job and keeps New England out of the end zone.
06:58Well, you've got a lot of room you can work with here.
07:00But I like how they get Redmond over to the right side there.
07:02They cross Pat and he comes over.
07:04It's almost like a little screen in effect getting to the outside.
07:07A nice job of blocking on the outside by Patrick Pass and J.R. Redmond trying to get to the end zone.
07:13But good execution all in all by both units here in this drive.
07:1720-yard field goal by Adam Benetieri.
07:20On the road, he has hit 11 straight.
07:22Overall, he has hit six straight.
07:24Make it seven in a row overall.
07:27And another one for him.
07:2920-yard field goal on the game's opening drive.
07:32The Patriots 3-0.
07:36Kevin Harlan and Craig James and Beasley Reese.
07:39You take a look at the guard, Mike Compton,
07:40and who was called for a penalty on a touchdown run by Antoine Smith.
07:44They had to call it back.
07:45And so they had to settle for three from Benetieri from 20 yards away.
07:51And now the ensuing kickoff for the New England Patriots.
07:55The number one kickoff man in the NFL from the nine.
07:57That's co-bowler Steve Smith, who is a rookie.
08:00Brought down by Tebucky Jones.
08:02At about the 24-17-yard return.
08:05So we'll get our first look at the Heisman Trophy winner.
08:11The NFL on CBS is sponsored by the all-new Honda CR-V.
08:17A vehicle designed for your adventures in reality.
08:21Nextel.
08:22Nextel.
08:23How business gets done.
08:25And by IBM.
08:27Taking e-business and your business to the next level.
08:30Patriots, who are technically in first place in the AFC East,
08:38although tied with Miami,
08:41can win the division today if they win today.
08:45From the 25 after the kickoff and after the Benetieri field goal.
08:48First down and 10.
08:50Chris Winkie ends off to the former Pittsburgh Steeler, Richard Huntley,
08:55who is brought down by Brandon Mitchell.
08:58Being the three on the play, second down and seven.
09:0129-year-old rookie Chris Winkie.
09:04You know, the guy has a lot of passing yards this season.
09:07He's had some success.
09:08And I asked George Seifert,
09:09is this guy capable of being a good quarterback long-term?
09:12Seifert really believes in him.
09:15Stussy, Nesbitt, Mitchell, James, and Terry on the offensive line for Carolina.
09:20Second down and seven.
09:22With the ball at the 28.
09:24Quickly outside it goes.
09:25And the pass is lassoed by Smith, brought down by Ty Law,
09:31and close to a Carolina first down at the 35.
09:34It's a gain of eight on the play as you take a look.
09:37One of the most talked-about rookies, he's out of Utah.
09:405'9", Steve Smith.
09:42That's the offensive line again.
09:43Stussy and Terry anchoring the tackle positions in the backfield.
09:48Richard Huntley with Brad Hoover.
09:49Patrick Jeffers along with Donald Hayes, the receivers.
09:53Mangum is the tight end.
09:54Three of the top four Carolina receivers out and injured today.
09:59Including Pro Bowl tight end Wesley Walls.
10:02First and ten.
10:03Here comes Anthony Pleasant.
10:05There goes the pass.
10:06Over the head, whistling away and out of bounds.
10:08Patrick Jeffers was in his sights.
10:11Second down and ten.
10:12The New England Patriots at the 24th rate of defense in the NFL.
10:17Hamilton, Mitchell, Seymour, the rookie, and Anthony Pleasant.
10:21Linebackers for New England.
10:23Brewski with Grable on one side and the veteran Roman Pfeiffer on the other.
10:28And the secondary corners.
10:29Law and Smith hard-hitting safeties.
10:31Jones and Malloy.
10:32Second down and ten from the 35.
10:36Pitch out to Huntley.
10:37A block by Hoover running outside.
10:39And up two above the 44-yard line.
10:42About a yard shy of a first down.
10:44On a gain of eight yards by Richard Huntley.
10:47Who in Atlanta backed up Jamal Anderson.
10:49Who in Pittsburgh backed up the bus.
10:51Jerome Bettis.
10:52Here he becomes a starting running man.
10:53And they are concerned because the guy does have some speed.
10:56He's got some talent.
10:57He's got good vision.
10:58He can move.
10:59Get around the corner.
10:59225 pounds is a load coming around the corner.
11:03And that particular play there, Teddy Brewski underestimated really his speed.
11:08He took the inside angle and he should have gone around the corner.
11:11Third down and two.
11:12Carolina at the 44.
11:16Empty backfield.
11:17Hoover goes in motion.
11:19Winky fires a goal.
11:21Intercepted on the play.
11:22It's picked off by Ty Law.
11:24And he'll be in a foot race with Steve Smith into the end zone.
11:33His second touchdown on an interception this season.
11:38The fifth of his career.
11:44When it's third and that's short.
11:46Here's one of the problems of not having a consistent ground game.
11:49They've got to throw the football.
11:50And this is a bad thing that happens when you throw the football.
11:52Ty Law sneaks inside.
11:54Smith's on the outside.
11:55A lack of communication between the quarterback and the wide receiver.
11:58Bottom line, Winky is a rookie and makes mistakes.
12:01But I think they should have run the football and not had that kind of mistake from him.
12:05They put him in a bad position there.
12:07The 17th interception for Chris Winky.
12:11The extra point good by Minoteri.
12:19Laws made a living making big plays.
12:21The law rules out there on the outside.
12:23Telling Mr. Winky, watch where you put in the air.
12:25Carolina coach George Seifert on the hot seat.
12:32Rumors abounding here that Steve Spurrier may take his place as early as tomorrow.
12:36The ensuing kickoff after the tie-law interception.
12:39For a touchdown.
12:40Steve Smith grabbed and brought down on the play by Gerard Sherry.
12:46A return of 12 yards.
12:49You know what?
12:50There's pressure from the inside, first of all.
12:51He gets pressure on him in here.
12:53Law's going to sneak back but roll back inside on a cover, too.
12:56And because of that, there's somebody in the flat.
12:58And I don't think Winky really had time to see that and feel it.
13:02Law moved back and then rolled back into his cover, too, there.
13:04And fooled Winky, but the pressure on the inside.
13:07They don't give up a lot of sacks because Winky gets rid of it quick.
13:11Well, that's a mistake getting rid of it that quick that time.
13:13Say like, hey to Winky.
13:14Yes, sir.
13:15From the 26th, first down and 10.
13:19And here comes Winky throwing outside.
13:22And it's tipped and intercepted here by Otis Smith.
13:25And that's returned for a touchdown.
13:27Can you believe it?
13:28And a flag is down on the play at the 27th.
13:34I think New England's going to be called for holding during the return.
13:45Well, not going like the old Panthers thought they wanted this thing to start out with.
14:06As they continue to work it on the field now, they're waving it off.
14:14And it's Carolina's ball.
14:16But we have not got any word from Tom White until now.
14:20After the interception and during the return, holding number 26, New England.
14:27It's a 10-yard penalty.
14:28It's a first down for New England.
14:30Matt Stevens is 26.
14:33Otis Smith, the veteran, is robbed of the touchdown, but does get the interception.
14:38Yeah, and again, here's the throw here that comes to the outside.
14:40Gets deflected at the line of scrimmage here.
14:42They come from the outside.
14:43The ball's tipped on the outside.
14:45He can't come up with it.
14:46Smith makes the interception.
14:48But it's all, again, a function of Donald Hayes, 81, not being able to make the grab.
14:53They are just out of sync here.
14:54You see his footwork there.
14:55Winky not real sure of where he wants to go with the ball.
14:58He's indecisive.
