Los Angeles Chargers vs Dallas Cowboys WEEK 3 FULL GAME 8/24/24 | NFL Preseason 2024

defensive line everybody doing their job you have a big pay as on complete defense sky cam brought to you by Lenovo smarter technology for all the double Tip Drill tips and overthrows got to get those bill that's why you go and you work The Jug machine before practice and after practice so when you have an opportunity you don't let it pass you by and so here's an opportunity for Trey Lance here in the second half of this game new receivers out there for him as well whole new set of receivers getting past the 35 yd line set up a third and about four as Malik Davis on the carry we've seen a trio of running backs for the Cowboys so far in this game Malik Davis starting things off and duk vau and Royce Freeman we should see some Snoop Connor and Nathaniel Pete as well it's a big old running back room that the Cowboys started camp with we won't see Zeke Elliott who's not playing today or Rico D Hunter lipkey now an empty back field for Lance on third and four and he'll run forth gets the first down and then some a whole lot of some down inside the 35 yd line with a flag down looks like going to be a hold against the [Applause] Cowboys holding offense number 34 10yd penalty from the spot of the foul still third [Applause] down you hate to see it you just talked about it bill you go to an empty set to spread the defense out you utilize the abilities of Trey Lance right here in the middle of your screen it is very difficult on the defense there's no nobody that can account for Trey Lance they have a fourman rush he does a good job of keeping his eyes down the field recognizing his third and short using your legs and then you just get a holding call very unnecessary holding call down here by Malik Davis it's just unnecessary you already have the first down you turn something that was a very positive play where Tre LS utilized his his his assets to get you out of a bad situation and now all of a sudden you got to go all the way backwards and do it all over again so the markof here the 42 yd line is where it's set down now correction the foul the spot of the foul after enforcement steel results and a first down there you go a real tester there for Danny short serving as the referee here got it right at the 42 enough for a first down because is of the downfield holding call that occurred at the charger 48 yd line you can ET and sketch everything I just said still don't want to get the holding call but luckily they able to have the first down got to let the man go whenever you lose leverage there's a fumbled snap wild Scramble for it at the 40 yd line we just talked about that how much change is Tre Lance going through he's had six different receivers three different centers now all of a sudden right there boom shiy we talked about shefley whenever the centers are not used to that chemistry with you he is so concerned about understanding his leverage understanding that you know where he needs to go for his block that sometimes when he's taking his step he will leave the ball short and when you're not used to that mesh with your quarterback the quarterback will find himself in a bad situation just like Tre Lance did there second and 12 and a mix up looking for cam Johnson over there every game day everyday game day with the Dallas Cowboys scratch tickets from the Texas Lottery play today for your chance to win up to $100,000 instantly for everybody at home that's sitting on the couch if you want to do a nice little physical exercise right now get a ball stand up put the ball on the ground step to the left and try to snap the ball and see exactly how far back your hand gets okay we'll dry that during the break here down the middle there's a flag down the catch made by John Stevens Jr would be enough for a first [Applause] down really good route by John Stevens Jr big tight end working on the outside illegal contact Defense number 37 penalties declined first down John Stevens you see him detach right here top of your screen he's going to do a good job he's inside the defensive end he's going to work up the field work through the contact and then snap it across the middle boom nice route nice strong route and then good catch and Fallen forward for a first down so from the 47 yd line Kelvin Harmon another first down you heard Ka Yan's report coming out of the half one of the things that they wanted to improve upon obviously coming out of the half was the protection but now all of a sudden Tre LS has protection he's able to sit back here in this pocket all day long get his eyes on his Target find the holes in that defense right they're playing Zone coverage easy pass and catch just like they do routes on there in the beginning of practice Cowboys moving the football here and there's Royce Freeman not much there not much there but a defensive lineman hit him and fail backwards That's The Power of Royce Freeman goodness gracious 6' 240 lbs that's like a fire hydrant coming downhill good [Applause] luck rolling left going downfield has his man Deontay Bernett down near the 10 yd line the former Arlington Renegade of the United Football League I said it earlier Trey Lance through a dime earlier that right there was a dime working to his left side that is so difficult for a quarterback I don't care how athletic you are going to your left as a right-handed quarterback trying to get your hips and your shoulder square and in the touch to drop it in the bucket for a first down here's Malik Davis he gets about five we're going to go back and take a peek at this okay try lands right in the middle of your screen okay let's boom there he is we're going to come out on the play action boom play action now I got to get my eyes around right there he's trying to get his hips squared around you guys see him he does a good job of getting his shoulders Square his hips turned so that he can throw an accurate ball a lot of times quarterbacks end up falling victim to keeping their shoulders to the sideline and now they're trying to throw across their body and they end up throwing late and Laden across the field and usually ends up in interception now second and five at the six and the ball is picked off by Tony Jefferson again out of the end zone goes Jefferson to the 12 yd line Tony Jefferson has two picks and a force fumble in this game now would have been wise to stay in the end zone that time but he brings it out to the 12 and Tre l his second interception of this game M McCarthy with a quick word on the he's trying to get over to the right side he's working these two-man Concepts he has his two receivers out here but what we did not see was the man in the legend back here Johnson sitting back there if you pause it right now boom what he's trying to get to is he's trying to get this right here okay he had his receiver open but you got to see the vision of the man right there you don't want to try to force something the Cowboys with a sack like I was saying you don't want to force something ended up in a turnover is unnecessary sometimes you got to take the play sell it out the back of the end zone but good thing you have a defensive line that has your back because the big boys up front are working Al muham getting back there5 are eligible receivers 7165 which is one of the big things for the Cowboys finding Edge rushers Al quaden Muhammad with the sack there Justin Rogers got there as well now all the way back to the 2yd line Second and 19 on their own End Zone and coming up making a stop at the two yd line there's Julius wood again tell you Bill he keeps showing up 33 for the Dallas Cowboys all he does is make plays he had a little help there by number 92 alad muhamed who's getting the crowd pumped up right now as well third and 18 you best believe that Julius Wood's going to have opportunity to make some kind of play here asz the ball is definitely going down the field from the three yd line Easton stick and well short of where they needed to get out he's out to the 14 yd line for a pickup of 11 going to be punt time for the Chargers and Duce Von the putt returner for the Cowboys all right dece is time to get loose we talked about how crowded that running back room is Royce Freeman has been known to be a core special teamer he can play on almost any of the Special Teams not so much with duvon he's a return man we know kavante Turpin is a All Pro Return Man for the Dallas Cowboys but he needs to show that he can be an asset in this facet as well and makes the fair catch at the 43 yard line so the Cowboys will go back on offense with four about his legendary career with the Cowboys my old teammate Bill yep one of my favorite teammates he love to play this game great player even better personal a 43 yd line fre Lance with good field position this time Roy Freeman behind him in the back field and it give this to Freeman and he is hitting in the back field and D let's go down to the sideline and Kyle yens you know Bill a lot of times whenever you say he's hit in the back field and he's dropped it relates to Micah Parson's playing defense we're joined by The allp proo Edge rusher now Micah phenomenal training camp out there in Oxnard what was the number one takeaway for you as training camp comes to an end um you know I think the number one takeaway is I think we all got closer we all got better I think I seen a lot of jumps from a lot of players that you're like oh we need a big year from and you always like to see those things so you're not like hesitant or you're trying to think during the season so we've seen a lot of big jumps and I think that's the most important thing a lot of those jumps of course underneath the tutelage of defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer what's it been like learning under him and uh having the first de coordinator change of your career you know Zim's good cuz he got a bunch of different variations of defenses and schemes and different uh combinations between one through eight you know you know different coverages and then you know the thing is uh I think he has a great eye for what's happening and I remember uh one day you know me and him was practicing going to play calls that practice he was like I was like maybe you should call this he was like no they're going to come out in 3 by1 I was like are you sure and sure enough they came out in 3 by1 he was like you just got to understand the Tendencies and things like that so his mind is so interesting on the field is in complete pass now you're going into a part of your career where you're now considered a veteran uh has that gone by quickly to this point in the fact that you've had three successful seasons in the NFL now and now you're going into year four with a lot of expectation yeah man I I it went by too fast me and Tre just talking about I can't believe you know I'm already going into year four um coming in here in 2021 man it's a great honor it's a kind of great honor to be a veteran you know people usually don't last and people don't usually start so well but you know I think that's what make the great ones consistency and I just want to be as consistent as possible you talk about that consistency how do you get there and take that next step as already an elite Edge rusher in the NFL but a chance to to move forward oh you got to move smarter you got to learn more you got to always try to be better you always got to find different ways to get better your work ethic has to get better so each year you know I just find a ways to work harder and find something more challenging for myself you know almost in the gin's mindset just always finding new ways to find pain and when you feel it out here it's almost nothing and it's like you've been there before so um so interesting and so much fun this K Lance taking off for a touchdown down the left sideline Michael we'll let you go appreciate you taking some time yes sir and how about Trey Lance getting free down the sideline 46 yds for the [Applause] touchdown had the pick on the last possession but makes up for it with the 46- yd touchdown run here I don't think they're kicking an extra point here bill going to line up at the two yd line try the two-point conversion and when the Cowboys score a two-point conversion this season text Cowboys to 23955 within 3 hours after the game scored a two for one coupon from Tostitos and a chance at other prizes from Tostitos come on [Applause] Cowboys and going for the corner the The End Zone but it goes incomplete looking for cam Johnson well that didn't go the way they wanted to but I can tell you what did Bill Trey lands all the way down the sideline using the juice to get you loose we know he has wheels after that interception they relied upon his ability to go ahead and utilize his legs they do a good job of getting downfield and blocking let's go ahead and take a look right here in the middle of your screen boom seal block on the edge working up to the next level oh put your foot in the ground now just use your god-given talents that speed is tough to come by he's excited feels good look at him just look at him you can't catch me need more people a little spin nice little spin AR there okay yeah you like that that shows he's been in the end zone before when you can spin the ball like that that's talent right there bill that's talent he saw your high school footage no no I I was just about to say he's been watching Washington footage from how long ago I don't know that's like in 540p the for scoring Drive 57 yards five plays the final 46 from Mr Trey Lance for the best in Texas and Trey Lance now has nine carries for 83 yards in this game duvon by the way nine carries 53 yards so once again Trey Lance the leading rusher that was a plan run too that was a quarterback sweep by the way great hearing from Micah Parsons on the sideline the Cowboys player sideline interview brought to you by LG OLED Evo choose Perfection choose LG OLED Evo check out the best TV in the game at lg.com I could listen to Michael Parson's talk all day long and and some days at training camp he talked all day long he had a 29-minute press conference one day in oxar he's a very passionate player one of the more passionate ones I've ever seen come across the league it just comes out of comes out of him on the field love to see it he's trying to keep it all harnessed in right now unleash you here in a few weeks Elijah doson on the carry for the Chargers big pickup for him and it's going to be very intriguing to see how michah Parsons is used by Mike Zimmer in this defense he's going to be all over the place you know one of the early comments that Michael Parson had was in regards to him being able to utilize his gifts and talents but you not knowing where to find him at whether you're going to he's going to be over the center whether he's going to be a linebacker whether he's going to be a defensive end and that's a problem that DeShaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns are going to have here on their hands in about two weeks he gives Mike zimber a lot of flexibility with his with his speed Chargers continue to go with Easton stick at quarterback and he's in trouble and he is dropped whole bunch of cowboys in there on that one Darius Harris the former Kansas City chief Tyrus wheat was in there everybody was in there boom mike vigil coming up there taking a running back Harris comes off on a delayed what we call Green dog green dog is when the running back goes up to make a block on one of your one of your teammates then you know there's nobody responsible for you you can come on a delayed Blitz it's called a free 99 sack there Bill C you nothing and there I've seen you know you see half sacks well that was a a third of a sack for everybody and there's a tackle for loss again and that's Darius Harris again he had the first hit on the sack and foko was in there on the sack as well as Tyrus wheat and now here's Darius Harris again he says okay I'm getting my opportunity now to make this footb ball team he just want to make sure that you knew that that was not a one time thing there Bill he's going to run it down from the backside I told you this this linebacker room has a lot of talent I don't know how the front office did it but they flipped this entire room around and they have a plethora of guys that can run around and make plays fourth year out of Middle Tennessee State Darius [Applause] Harris dck Patterson knocked out of bounds Nick vigil another guy is's a former third round draft pick of the Bengals has a history with his coaching staff he was another guy he and Darius Harris were signed after training camp started two weeks into Camp it was like the Cowboys did it the opposite way this year instead of signing their free agents back in March they waited and see what they had once training camp started and then see where injuries occur like in the case of the Sam Williams injury and then you go get you some veteran Edge rushers and we got him some linebackers too have been bothered by some injuries as well ball goes on into the end zone and we are giving you a look around the star pish the team there from the 20yd line there's movement before the snap looked like Princeton Fant but I don't believe there's any other team in the NFL who false start 48 offense 5y penalty still first down who went away for training camp as long as the Cowboys did this year they were G gone for a long time so shout out to all the the wives and mothers they were holding it down at the house because these guys were out bringing home to bacon now they're out here fighting for an opportunity to find themselves with a star in their helmet for the 2024 season there's scoop Connor a pick up of about four right there clock winds down here in the third quarter Cowboys enjoy some football just to get us ready for the start of the regular season here in a couple of weeks look at that view bill that's hard to beat man that is hard to beat julus wood hard to beat what he has done today his effort to try to win a spot on this roster you know I went back and looked at last year's roster for the third preseason game of the 90-man roster there's only a handful of players who were not in football at the outset of this year like 85 out of the 90 players found the spot somewhere on the Cowboys roster or another roster last season it's Tracy McMath with the catch another really good throw by Trey Lance had opportunity run a nice little stem Corner route K take it in take it back up and then get back to the corner good ball location good grab I like this going no huddle to Snoop Conor on the carry a little Tempo going back to your point Billy that's it's a crazy stat line in terms of guys that that were not on teams last year want people to remember that following today's game obviously on Tuesday as a final cut down there going to be 37 guys that are going to be looking for opportunities now obviously Cowboys have opportunity to bring back 16 guys on the practice squad but there's going to be over 1500 players dropped in a bucket all the same day so The Scouting department has a lot of work to do in terms of scouring for their last little holes they want to feel how about that got the first down inside the 45 yd line move the chains again going to continue to give a lot of props to Trey Lance there's a lot of quarterbacks in this league who are unwilling to sit in the pocket with pressure in their face he's he's he's a man of of large stature 6'4 200 what 20 lb 30 lbs he's solid but just because you're big doesn't mean that you're willing to take a hit he has been sitting in there amongst pressure through all these different changes in the offensive line and throwing good balls and eludes the rush this time a little fake and got back to the line of scrimmage anyway that's one thing that I've been really impressed by obviously he's had a handful of turnovers today in form of interceptions but prior to to those decisions he had one they both went to the same player but one of them was one heck of a play another one was a bad decision but he has over these three preseason games collectively taken care of the ball even amongst a lot of pressure again when you're rotating through different offensive lines tend to get a lot of pressure in your face down inside the 40 yd line cam Johnson that flag down holding 79 offense 10yd penalty repeat second down it's Matt wetco interesting for the Cowboys at the the swing tackle position you talk about the injuries that occurred for the Cowboys during Camp one of them on the offensive line a couple on the offensive line with chuma edoga as well as Earl bosk who was on the practice squad last year edoga was on the 53 man roster was a swing tackle last year and the Cowboys looking for a swing tackle to Tyler gon your starter at left tackle and Terence steel at right tackle that's Cam Johnson down inside the 40 and there's oh we've got the issue I have seen once before here at AT&T Stadium for those of you that looking at your screen trying to figure out why you looking at a bunch of socks on the screen their hel their helmets were stuck in case you're wondering how hard these guys are hitting I do remember that in a regular season game and I'm trying to remember who the players were involved in it that had the helmet stuck or the face mask got stuck and offensive and defensive player they try to figure out what the heck just happened there this is helmet on Jersey oh snag that is strange that that is yeah that's that's a first for me one that I remember was helmet to helmet contact had to be pulled away Lance going deep down the right side oh almost off the hands of Deontay Bernett with Matt henkins defending that was a ball not sure we're going to have an opportunity to get a look here I'm not sure going to see Snoop Conor he does a good job of picking up the blitz you don't see it on your screen but it gave Tre Lance a little bit of time to sit back there he still got pressure in his face and stood up there strong like I just referred to and dropped a nice pass upfield shoulder outside gave his receiver an opportunity to catch a touchdown got to come down with those plays when you're trying to make a roster so Fourth Down Snoop Conor the back alongside Trey Lance in the back field Princeton F got that first down fourth down conversion for the Cowboys the big fella Fant right here on the right side of your screen just runs a nice flat route just go go to the sideline Trey Lance sees that he wins The Leverage game give me a little little stiffy keep your toes in the on the sideline get a first down big 62 250 PB Princeton Fant out of Tennessee now Snoop Conor picked up of eight or nine yards the veteran out of Old Miss feel the momentum shifting you can feel the momentum they're getting a little juice getting a little juice got the ball out to fan for some positive yardage get the ball to Connor now on a nice little screen play you're keeping the defense guessing you try to out leverage them and you came back and you knew they're going to bring some pressure you dropped it off behind them on a screen now you come out here in a semi Bunch set to your left of your screen to's see what they're going to do [Applause] [Applause] here toss left cutting up field for the first down to the 20yd line goes the rookie out of Missouri who started his collegiate career at Stanford that's Nathaniel Pete he SC told I see you put your play calling doing a good job the QB's coach for the Dallas Cowboys is on the on the call today offensively he's calling a really good game keeping the defense guessing well he had to live up to what Dak did last year with Will Greer the quarterback and Dak called plays last year in this last preseason game so the bar was set High saying Dak got benched today for his quarterback coach got double benched you're not playing and you're not calling the plays this time there's Scott toine former quarterback at Wisconsin long time with Mike McCarthy going back to the Packer days he was he played for Mike McCarthy with the Packers and he's been on the Cowboys staff ever since McCarthy took over here in 2000 had a nice college career at Wisconsin Lance using his feet bring up a third and short good job good job he's doing a good job you see him just panning here panning panning panning where's my next man up boom now use my feet get out of there once you make the decision to run be decisive get vertical try not to go towards the sideline get as many yards as you can and protect your body you see he wanted more he felt like he could have gotten more but either way it was a positive play you can see him just growing in front of our eyes here just his his pocket presence getting more confident what do we say in the beginning he needs reps that's right he's getting them tonight only 318 pass attempts in college in North Dakota State nowhere for cam Johnson to run the rookie out of Northwestern 319 pass attempts you said yep at North Dakota State he had 41 attempts in the first game of the preseason I think he had another 25 last week and today he has 35 attempts so we're sitting at around 100 attempts he's onethird of his college career in pass attempts in these three preseason games to let you guys know exactly how inexperienced he has been and how much room he has to grow so here's Brandon Aubrey this will be a 33 yd field goal this is an extra point and it is good and the lead is down to one we're going right
