Phil Pozderac of the Dallas cowboys has been inthe Laboratory five years. He Learned a few things from professor Martin on sunday. Three times in the final 75 seconds of the game Martin lured Pozderoc into vital mistakes that Cost the cowboys dearly in a 17-14 defeat that dropped Dallas one game behind first place new York in the pfc East it was the professor explained a matter of years of it was the student said almost the sea of yellow flags began on a 30-Yard pass Lay that took the Ball to the giants 6-Yard line with is to play. Holding against no. 75." then there was a 14-Yard sack by Martin accomplished despite illegal use of hands by no. 75. Pen ally finally another 30-Yard pass to the 11. Illegal procedure against no. 75." by then Pozderac had to wish the turf would Operand Swallow him and the yellow flags up. With 7471 fans rocking giants stadium there was no Way anybody could hear quarterback Steve Pelluer s signals As Dallas launched its last ditch drive from its own 16 with 3 33 to play. Pozderac knew that and so did Martin. And that was the professor s Edge. He had to look at me Martin said. He could tear the snap count. I knew any movement i made he would react Martin had that right the fans were so much in the game it gave Thema big advantage Pozderac said. You can t hear George Martin Dallas Phil Pozderac. Played teacher and Pupil on final Dallas drive anything. I could t hear the cadence at All. If Youcan t hear the Start of the cadence there s no rhythm no timing. There s not much you can , yes there is. You can sneak a Peak at the defensive lineman. Maybe he s hearing what you Renot. Martin figured Pozderac might be smart enough to do that. So the giant Veteran made sure the Youngman from notre Dame had something to see. I got movement from him Ever time Martin said chuckling like a Wise old Man who had pulled fast one. He had no recourse. I beat him on the count. I be played this game for a while you know. Know what offensive tackles will do in certain situations. It comes from years of experience. I d give Hima Little fake and he rocked Back. Over and Over each time the Cowboy tackle did the flags Don t know Pozderac said. It feels like they re looking for me. I can t put my hands on a Guy without getting called. I have a reputation for hold ing of the problem May be Pozderac s size. He stands 6-foot-9 and weighs 282 pounds. He is no difficult to find for the fans or the officials. Martin was feel for the Guy he said. I be been there in situations where i came up Short. But after 12 years of doing it i be pretty much seen it All. I be been around Tor a Long time. You learn a few things Over the years. It was a Subtle move a Little bit of a jump and he beat me off the Ball Pozderac said. Eve Ery time i touched him they called me. You be got to watch the Ball. Turn your head and he s gone. I be got to see the Ball and i be got to watch thought the officials could have made a Call for delay against the crowd. The crowd influence take the game away from the players. Give us five Yards and maybe that takes the crowd out of it it never happened and instead Martin snookered Pozderac and the penalties took Dallas out of the game. Had Martin pulled this Man Euver before of sure he said. I do it in practice All the time. You get a Rookie who s High spirited and wants to make a Good impression and it works.
