Los Angeles Rams vs Dallas Cowboys | 2024 Preseason Week 4 Game Highlights NFL Aug 30, 2024

Fel who of course Rams Fans know he was their special team coor is one of the people who designed the new role so I have to think he thought a lot about how to implement it both on the used to that's what you got to know okay A little getting used to it goes to the back of the end zone here's the quiz do we know where that goes now that goes to the 30 if it rolls into the end zone though it goes to the 20 and I'm thinking a lot of teams around the NFL kicking are going to aim for that because it's the most optimal out there that's right we think and we have three hours to unpack this a lot of brick shot kickers right time to pin teams deep regardless here uh the Rams on the 30 yd line and this is our first look guys at ston beted who had a lot of work obviously in the preseason last year and then we did not see him anymore he says he's excited to play football for the first time since August 26th the third and final preseason game last year he opens up with a handoff TS and Bennett cuz remember Jimmy Garoppolo went is suspended the first two weeks of the regular season yeah you know I thought s had a nice preseason last year I was at home watching you guys together some really nice drives couple struggles with interceptions after that so I think you're going to want to see him cut down on those turnovers Matthew Stafford is back he to go in the joint scrimmage The Joint practice with Cowboys he will be ready week number one and ready right now is a rookie aot Jordan Whittington from Texas this year not big wit but little wit right Jordan Whittington I love it baby right here we just talked about step step about think another guy tonight Warren McLendon this guy you you look at o Lan are down up front for the Rams seeing some of these young guys get up here and show they're capable of stepping in in the game is what they need to see takes it out to the 46 Ronnie Rivers trying to get around the left side Rivers brought down by the linebacker the marvian over shot of the C Ronnie River another player who at the same time as Kon Williams during the regular season so he wasn't able to play in Williams absence but watching him guys he reminds me a lot of kwin Williams did this year so the Rams now with a second and eight on 47 Little Play Fake to River who we saw last year second camp with the Rams takes it into cowboys territory to make up third and manageable here gain of four play F roll out finding these guys out in that flat area they love to take advantage of that space over there making sure the defense is really covering every blade of grass on the football field Kalen Carson from Wake Forest third and four Rams on their opening drive have to get to Cowboys 44 yd line Rivers Remains the back his shoulder I don't think he's going to get there run through a wall of cowboys at the 45 needed four got three let's go for it so if you're with this defense last year stopping those short yardage runs Mazy Smith is playing uh their first round defensive tackle from last year and I know that's a player to LEAP this season Maris Bell and Maran nean there holding up rivers to Force fourth and one I'm all for going forth fourth and one why not here the play fake and the roll out ston Bennett can run a little bit and he's got the first down across the 40 Last Prediction I didn't think I was going to see Sean go with uh that right there on in the fourth and one but I love it good chance to get Stetson out there using his feet uh he was an athletic QB I mean he things broke down uh good conversion there for him early good drive to start this thing off gain of five for ston Bennett who certainly had his moments last year in the pre-season all last year firsthand here at SOI he is a gamer didn't always look great in practice last year in training camp but he got out here and he made a lot of throws and they're hoping to see starting well gets around five to just shy of the 35 Bennett said he was happy and he feels good and like here on the field was such a relief and and it just feels right again for him after last year maybe it didn't yeah this hasn't been a play back national championships great on his resume but he was he didn't really have time away from the sport at all and seems like that served him well not good when you have the pump fakes out there you like that never good no not usually uh not usually what you want illegal St down Land Clark is our referee today and they're going to throw that one on Logan bruss the rookie yeah 50 not 60 but 60 obviously Logan bruss playing Right Guard next to moments and impress went out there in camp at LMU second and 11 Rams backing up five after the rivers run over the middle it's winning two for 20 inside the 10 oh man you're seeing there what they've been raging about all Camp which is the physicality and you saw that in Texas if you're worthy ad Mitchell but he has almost like a running back ability in space to get yards after CCH yeah you can really see it athletic guy and they've been excited about him so it's good to see him get get involved early it's a g 31 in OTAs you saw Jordan witon taking some snaps with the ones but B was asked about good early returns year for the rookie out of Texas rivers a couple of yards you're not going to see uh Blake corm today the Liams as well today you're going to see a lot of Ronnie Rivers you're going to see a lot of Zack Evans here as the Rams go deeper into their depth CH which is how Shawn mcfay obviously running back coach talking to Blake km the rookie out of Michigan on the sideline you will see plenty of him come September Rams can get a first down without getting into the end zone they set up the screen to the right that is Rivers who gets tripped up in the back field the turf got him first and then he ran into a couple of cowboys the defensive tackle out of Michigan with the tackle oh beger Parton Boston Scott out there beger Parton bet the Giant Killer with the Philadelphia Eagles when they brought him on I thought that might be something to do with the new kickoff rule yeah definitely and and probably getting out of the back field you know SM so proba get him call from the offense in that way too third and nine Zack Evans into the game at running back throw over the middle on it's Fourth Down didn't either got grabbed there for a second or kind of hesitated cuz it looked like he was coming open yeah you see it catches him right there in his hip yep got away with it first Stamford a two-time allamerican career long 61 this is from 28 near side hash hails his first NFL kick to make it 3 nothing Sensen Bennett marches down the field Ram stall in the Red Zone they get three and they have the early he did a start a bit you're looking at soai stadium with the Rams on top of the Cowboys 3 nothing 827 by Sofi the next generation of banking for the next generation of Rams Fans RS roster heading into the preseason six players over the age of man roster Rob havenstein the only St Louis holdover on this point at this point obviously the great rookie class last year the bar has been set for who we are excited to see eventually come September after hitting that field goal Josh cardi from Stanford is going to kick it through the back of the end zone wanted to see his coverage unit here at least once that's not what was planned yeah maybe they just don't even want to get into this what their coverage will look like but you know it doesn't seem like the coaches seem that excited about on the Rams I want to see the coverage such an issue with this team last year special teams you know so young yep all right Cooper Rush is at quarterback M Hampton showing Blitz there Rico Cowboys Ezekiel Elliott weing 15 will not be seen here today he is on the sideline however as dle gets good yardage there over the right side faki among others there for the tackle no Dak Prescott we will see a lot of train LS later today Dak Prescott's been hurt this is a quarterback competition in Dallas for who's going to back up Dak Prescott and as you mentioned Cooper Rush has a lot of regular season starting experience under 8 minutes remaining here in the first boys keep it on the ground again and they pick up that first down the Tackle by lurel who performed admirably last year for the Rams as they obviously uh need some depth in there defensive tackle you have Bobby Brown you have Kobe dle gets the first down across the four Cooper rushed to throw and he takes the shot side the 20 and that's a first down you know being at the scrimmage Thursday Andrew I mean they they caught a couple explo explosives and they started off right here with one jayen Brooks for 43 yards down the left side line beating tracking that down there's competition also with Dallas for that wide receiver three spot all receivers named Jaylen interestingly that was Jaylen Brooks the Rams have four def we have time to unpack that a little bit later Tyler Davis the rookie tackle at a Clemson the sixth round pick makes the tackle after defense they're really looking for who's that next guy we talk about replacing Aaron Donald I mean obviously they invest a lot of capital and Bren Fisk and Jared bur and those guys look really good early but when they're be by committee they need a couple of these young guys up front to step [Applause] up takes the snap bobbled caught tackled immediately there Jake hmel good job coming up with the tackle round on Thursday he made a couple big plays in The Red Zone I actually thought even though they gave up some explosives throughout the practice down in the Red Zone during that practice the Rams defense actually much when they got down in there the Cowboys had a tough time getting in the end zone and CER there with the reception brings up third and seven we see Chris schula there on the sideline man as schula is the new defensive coordinator pressure ball to the endzone incomplete that's what we want to see pressure from cor and if any of them can make an impact in the preseason they've got a good chance to make an active roster because that's a really young thin group it was Kier Thomas who got home and his third showed up the other day desan Johnson he he made some good plays you know really in one-on-one pass rush seeing him rush a little bit on the quarterback and then uh also in in practice so good to see Aubrey now will try a 30yd field goal All Pro last year as a 28-year-old rookie kicker the guy hit 35 missing this one 52 remaining first quarter just underway a pair of field goals early here at [Music] soai had these injuries not happen are now forced into some action and hopefully you know build some good depth for us later in the season while also allowing some of those other guys to uh take he was crazy to watch the preseason last year and see hukaa out there making plays knowing what he would become I was wondering if there's any young wide receivers tight ends that you have been impressed by he's done a really nice job for us um you know he's similar to puka body style guy you know just a big physical player um had a great career in Texas and and we're happy to have him but he's done a nice job nice job guys that in the game right now hey if he doesn't you know catch passes Matthew as ston Bennett here takes a deep shot ago practicing with the Cowboys you caught a touchdown pass are you and I option uh that's that's a bad option if we're we're thr throwing up play obviously a little bit of a scramble play Broken Down had some miscues on it but was just trying to keep it alive and you know I tried to throw it low to make sure nothing bad happen next thing I know it's B I just snagged it I don't know instincts took over uh but probably would have been smarter to have not done that but oh well I was impressed I was waiting for a celebration at the end yeah you know I just was really The End Zone I felt like I fell down really awkwardly so I was just trying to get out of there all right as we have an interception here on the field STS Bennett has been oh hey real quick here Matthew I know you told Albert Breer this week the last year maybe you had that moment you thought your career was over for the record you feel good yes I felt in a couple years to be honest with you so um you know I'm still 36 it's not I'm not running around like I was when I was 25 but I feel pretty good I see I'll see a little gray in that beard there Budd all right Matthew Stafford we appreciate your time during the game man best of luck talk to you soon thanks guys after the interception Cowboys have it Rams territory we'll show you that your season starts in first quarter the preseason opener here in 2024 Stetson Bennett marched the Rams down the field got them into the Red Zone they got three out of the opening drive on this picked off and now Trey Lance is into the game here for the Dallas Cowboys and he starts with great field position here the former third over three first round picks they gave to the Cowboys last year went in the preseason for a four this is a big preseason for Trey lers hoped it would it's funny by the way to think Jimmy Garo now who is on the is on the Rams we're not seeing him but uh you know there's still a lot of Believers in his potential he's still a very I'm excited to see what he does today Davis the carry there Jason Taylor the third in his second preseason with the Rams makes the tackle one of the guys back can play we we know he's a HEC ofate athlete we know he has all the skills he has never really been given that full season the injury D can he beat out Cooper Rush with Dak watching there can he be the guy that can come in and if Dak Prescott gets hurt that's add it here as they get the first down near the 30 it's a gain of yeah and I think that's the challenge when you talk about these quarterbacks who aren't the starter and maybe they're in competition for that two challenging and we don't know much until we see them in these preseason games with the way you have to practice now they get limited reps the opportunities to get out there into practice and get a lot of reps with the guys the man Mr Irrelevant a year ago as Lance has the play p in the roll out chase by thr the sideline and I don't want to call him Mr pular season contributions but he showed up last year big and here he's on it again yeah he can practices and now here in the game today he's already made a couple plays early Luke skamaker the intended receiver oh here in the first and the whistle and they're backing up or timeout Cowboys Tak a timeout L Clark's been working they're first of the half not too active early here you know you mentioned Trey and the value of getting these reps the other thing I want to mention to the NFL um you know from small school didn't play that much in college comes to the 49ers barely plays there because of injuries first two season whether that's with Dallas or elsewhere these starts will matter a great deal for him getting the experience of putting that tape out there the ramper there support of the uh the 2024 pre-season and a special thank you the two the 2020 to 24 preseason and a special around the world second and 10 TR Lance a play fake Lance with a deep shot going andart pton Hender shot coverage there by 38 the veteran DB Sean Jolly so we got Chris schula who's now the defensive coordinator with Raheem Morris's departure calling the plays for the defense what do you think they do they going to sit back a little bit I I you know Chris is really excited for this opportunity man young energy he he's a fun guy to be around I'm excited for him see what he does eyes downfield Lance is going to run Lance has the first down inside the 20 slides near the 10 Lance had always number 19 ran for 19 F aasi coralled him at the 12 the danger there sometimes when you like that yeah you lost a little rush Integrity there the defensive an here V venberg got pushed down in and you leave that lane for the quarterback there's a lot of space for an athlete like him to run saw last year practice s pressure again Lance thumps it off Malik Davis breaks the tackle Davis to the six tackle byan right there byan Johnson I mean if he does if he's not hustling right there out of the stack uh this is going to be a touchdown for sure he does a great job hustling chase this touchdown the rookie Tyler Davis the sixth round pick out of Clemson 49 Gam started the most in that proud program's history second down now from the six pit left Davis running left chased and hit and dropped in the back field good job Russ and they stand up again they stood up last time down in this territory the another great opportunity for a young defense to kind of show their fight their tenacity uh to hold up to I I almost I did Double Take cuz I was actually surprised to see him out there he was a a starter for this Rams defense last year now I think fighting to be play Star position for and Cameron mckitchen there as well wearing 41 on Third and five low snap pressured throw to the sideline that is caught out of bounds proper let's see where they spot it that's a great pass rush by Nick Hampton it's going to be fourth down yeah your position and made it his in Camp so far as a starter there now Rush yeast and you've also seen cam kitchens get in there some in Proxes with the first group so got in there with an arm around his neck able to pressure Lance throw to the sideline it brings up fourth and short fourth and one already and with the play clock at three they're going to take [Applause] another hton a lot of these guys but I really liked what I saw from him you saw some of the qualities you saw there the speed the first step but then what you also saw with that rip that power whether or not he can get reps in the regular season but that was a great rep for yeah that's the thing for him his size really kind of dictates he doesn't doesn't get to play a lot on first and second down as much in the Run game a rush the passer he's an athlete you know he has tremendous moves uh really has that shiftiness to him as a rusher but he needs to show that he can kind of be productive on those last year Nick Hampton did he had 26 and a half career sacks as we see Chris schula on the sidelines did not get to the quarterback last year obviously a lot of snaps the drive here 9 seconds remaining in the first you think Lance keeper uh yeah I think we're going to see like a little RPO right here get him out in space Jaylen Brooks in motion Malik Davis is the back no no he's going to throw lofting to the corner proper doesn't have it you know how I feel about that yep Mina K go ahead Min I'll let you go the f a gigantic athletic quarterback he couldn't deliver and the Rams take over on down 5 seconds left in the for the Rams defense there forces a turnover on Downs inside the 5 yd line Sean mcy would love to have the bubble over his wor me KES at least has some positivity here because his defense for State Tre Lance incompletion on a fade on fourth down I I mean that's a good thing but I'm I'm betting he wants to see this offense get a dve y let's see what they can do here from the two Stetson Bennett still the quarterback number 30 Boston again Andrew it is Boston Scott wearing number 30 he gets maybe back to the line of scrimmage and we the 2024 season opens with a couple of field goals here on a beautiful day at Sofi it is 33 [Music] RAM have you always had trouble losing weight uh that's not going to be my deal I don't think ston Bennett from his end zone after the change of sides of the field throws a completion to the far sideline and that is a gain of three yeah you did ask if you pay me to do it I would definitely thrown that caveat in there I'm in what would is should wants to pay for it exactly what's it going to take yeah that's right okay Json Bennett on third down now with Boston yard Deep In The End Zone throws near sideline and throws complete for a ran first down it's Xavier Smith on the 19 a little late hit I think on the sideline here teams got a little Chippy the other day in the uh scrimmage you saw some chippiness but nothing escalated too bad no finds after the play personal foul laate hit the end of the play first down Eric Scott with the late hit the forearm to the back after the gain of nine at another catch for the out of Florida A&M Rams will take it will put it on the 32 that's a nice catch by Smith and a really nice ball from sets and Bennett who you know coming back fromont rhythm once again the ball's coming out quickly he looks accurate three catches on three targets for Xavier Smith and a play fake here Smith now short and he's got Tyler Johnson the veteran wide out a former Buccaneer in his second season with the Rams yeah talking to some of the uh veterans up front they were excited to see him have a chance tonight today to show something he's uh been a G's made some plays already and here he is getting a conversion for him played only one game last year though is the we touchdown in that game it is a gain of 11 and the Rams have it now on the 43 yd line Smith goes in motion Boston Scott Scott to the 50 yd line it's a great run by Scott nice Vision patience waiting before he presses the hole the regular season because you know I talked about the similarities between rivers and the backs on the roster Scott he's undersized obviously but I think he has some of those qualities too pretty experience as well played with the Eagles obviously known there as the Giant Killer viously had some great moments there against got into cowboys territory across the 40 for another Rams first down that one good for 14 how about that run blocking on the interior Andrew let's go this is a strong sucker Rob havenstein was telling me that he's this guy can squat 700 lb 700 lb look at that he's loving it on joints hurt right there just hearing that Ronnie Rivers there celebrating side I was say it's just cool to see the identity of this team from last season offensively carry over in the preseason checks in and we showed you those two running backs side by side as they were running obviously behind limmer and behind Logan bruss playing Right Guard I may have on Boston Scott Ronnie Rivers a couple of times Rivers wore 30 last year in the preseason I don't get to the podium here I've been doing the I got a did not qualify for mixing up Boston Scott and Ronnie rivers and I thank everyone who tex I'll say this the fact that Rivers is only in absolutely second and eight Bennett on the roll out to Xavier Smith to can run play actions off of it me did you know that was possible wow what a concept watch Ram's football yeah what a concept well you talked about him mean this this identity last one be physical and then build everything kind of with that uh and now you see it carrying over this preseason it's really good to see these young linemen playing that way as well and good to see Xavier Smith a lot of people po he he's a Return Man only not the biggest guy but here in the pre-season um getting work done outbreak routes getting work done underneath room but you know maybe there is a home for him somewhere as Z gets a couple yards and the ram going to go for it quickly on fourth down they're going to run got down early right there that Turf monster almost got him Zack Evans who carried the ball 23 times in the pre-season last staying on his feet the turf monster got him in the back field but he was able to stay up and to get that purse the RS the shot area the game management specialist from the Tennessee Titans John Striker I'm not saying that influence is showing here but that's something to monitor during the season absolutely that's baby good man Austin Scott there who in his free time is also a professional gamer in the rocket lead has that carry you see six out there Drake Stoops the son of the legendary Oklahoma coach who caught 10 touchdowns for the Sooners actually got drafted by dad a couple of in the UFL or exactly by the Renegades he's a ram though not a renegade Renegades are waiting receiver in college Bennett little too much gas on that one wanted winning incomplete he played at Texas lesne had a little extra insight as his step his stepson Tate is a Long Snapper whon obviously came back with uh great reviews by everyone at UT in the Ramer happy with what they have so far from him couldn't get that one and this guy is the 13th play of this drive two for 43 early for Whittington Rams got to get to the 15 Johnson hang on that was close he had him right there it was a really good ball you can kind of see a couple guys are stumbling there he starts to lose kind of his footing there as he's reaching as well slipping a little bit I will say watching this drive said been pretty well protected overall they've protected him well all the injuries game they showed out pretty well TI of the field goal 39 yds and a second one here for Josh cardi the rookie out of Stamford the first one to get the Rams on the board first this one looks nice and smooth and easy and effortless his career long is 61 he's got a big left so far the next generation of banking for the next generation of Rams Fans down on the sideline good Sunday afternoon to you Sean McVey good afternoon to you too and come out you know obviously we want to try to finish those drives but things stetson's done a really good job we've been able to run the ball efficiently and then I like some of the sudden change defenses so Sean are we going to see any action on these kickoffs today or what we thinking buddy it's doubtful doubtful it's your favorite part of the game right yeah you love it buddy just love it they obviously had Us return the other one and uh we were kicking this deep and uh Ball's on the 30 and here we come would you like to see okay you know here here's why because they're so regulated I mean we're just getting man schemes you like to see if guys can be able to defeat individual blocks if he wanted to but what that play is going to look like in week one with the way teams will approach it on positive note uh how about Jordan Winnington with that catch looking like C big catches you know right away on the end cut and then on the uh the slant from the slot so he's he is a stud he's mature Beyond his years we really like him we did good so first down dble to push forward to get that first down it was Kier Thomas big part nice job though that's those are those tough plays when you've got to account for the quarterback as well you're usually a gap flying around the field a little bit uh it's fun to see that guy even Thursday watching him in the cowboy scrimmage making some plays down there in the Red Zone uh this guy plays with tenacity 6 maybe oh Tyler Tyler Davis beating the back block of the center quickly in the back field big fella let's go standing you know I I was uh that was awesome for him TD GI Smith does such a good job with that group as a whole it's good to see TD make a couple plays all right what are you seeing right here guys second 12 need to make the Rams 49 to get a new set of down shotgun here contain against Lance it's a good play by him you lose contain escapes with his eyes the open B gap for him to be able to go up and out on that's tough David with that catch on the sideb yeah with his long scramble and this play here you when you lose that integrity ites really tough on the defense there's no doubt and that's what he did earlier in the drive a couple you know series ago and that's the thing that these quarterbacks can provide that extra added element when not when you lose the rush Integrity like that ranch territory now 45 as Tre Lance Chang in the play at the Line run left to give to Malik Davis 03 met him in the hole he did a good job of kind of just skinny him through with the running back extra couple yards but it's a difference in second and six so but we're in position right there got to be able to make those plays but he's done a really good job all Camp I've been pleased with those three Sean I know early reviews from those two yeah they've been awesome you know I they they are mature guys they play with the tenacity of grit they got the mental and physical toughness we're looking for this lost the flat control right there you guys are bad luck I come on here with you hey you just said we had a pick six last year hey Sean we see our guy desan Johnson down there hustling I've been impressed watching him in practice the effort he has earlier down here in the red zone falls down on the screen in the back field gets up and Chase effort play uh that dude seems to play with a lot of passion and energy you said it Andrew that was a huge play because they end up getting no points out of that and that really it was Jason Taylor and forcing it back inside Dez reads out of the stack and makes a play otherwise that's a walking touchdown on the screen that was huge I mean touchdown saving play he is he really work edges on guys and and I've been seeing the same exact things that you just articulated ball behind Cropper there he is able to make the catch the boys got a drive going here tight up in the red are quick game they cutting up front nice job right there cam kitens good practice against these guys the other day you can see he's getting more and more comfortable good range coming out of the deep part of the field this is an excellent job by him being able to trigger right there by a quarter safety Sean every time we look up whether it's here or at Camp he is making a play He Is you know and he's getting more and more comfortable he was you know playing asking him to do some different things but he's a smart conscientious guy I I love working with him and he's getting better and better Davis got home again when he gets on the grass like forget his time forget all that when he's playing football and just seeing what he sees and reacting his speed seemed totally different on the football field couldn't be more right really play tackle football the physicality that shows up with a lot of these young guys that we like so much and so that's uh I think that's on display you just said it drive here see they got off the field third and [Applause] 10 a win right here yeah there it is pressure no flag almost almost in position go that's a heck of a job by them tightening up you guys aren't as bad luck after all he yeah there it is we're trying to stay positive here pressuring him making him feel that he has to get the ball out of his hand that is awesome that's good stop right there big three Downs after they were kind of driving the ball down the field that's here's the Cowboys lineup for a field goal on Joshua cardi your rookie kicker two for two early been really pleased you know I think to get him some of those opportunities we obviously want touch our operation and he's hitting the ball well in terms of just kicking out of the back of the end zone so it's been uh it's been a good start for Josh he's just nice and steady I really like his demeanor than that can you no you cannot I think he missed that oh man that looked he got it you got a better angle than me jerk likewise talk to you later kick is up kick is good we are tied at six here thank you sh m in the second are on NFL Red Zone 451 remaining on a hot day here in Englewood 66 we're in the second quarter here on Super Bowl champion Andre ww worth mea KS and I'm Andrew ciciliano a couple of field goals from each team want to thank Shawn McVey for doing coach we did have the Jaguars run one back for 73 yards last night there is hope parker Washington broke a couple of tackles nothing schemed up got a crease got aase T just got it and they bring it out across the 30 yd line Xavier Smith who has looked good offensively gets a 26 yd rise in the official 5G network of the Rams he was the 19th overall pick in the Rams first first round pick since Jerry go his name is also one and two on that front seven Bren FIS being the other pick Jared bur uh with especially against the Cowboys you could you could feel that we have we're not going to see it here obviously today yeah he's legit I think it was impressive uh to see him playing even the charger scrimmage and the Cowboys the impact he has on here's Jordan Winnington again been busy you see here the value of having a player like Winnington who has a similar him on similar Concepts they coming across behind the formation that physicality that running back like ability and space and then the toughness there's Jared ver there I thought the impact to see the effect he's had in practice I heard Dak Prescott during his interviews talking about he felt his presence during the scrimmage I think that's a huge compliment to a young rusher for gain of six for Whittington on that first one Zack Evans here with the carry Maris Bell with the tackle and Evans will move hams first down you're not going to see I know Rams Fans want to see Jared verse out there in the pre-season you want to see Braden FIS out there in the pre puka AA in game one he caught that touchdown and kind of planted his flag yes I'm Legit don't know especially considering the when sea McVey knows his team is already getting banged up probably going to play it safe here you would have to think yeah and they're they're having a lot of scrim bo uh you know there they're on the schedule I think they have another one lined up so far with the Chargers and the Texans um so they're going to get plenty of of good on good competition this people talk about the starters playing in the preseason or not when we were doing SC scrimmages my last couple years in the league those were more reps than I ever took in preseason 50 snaps in a scrimmage which was way more than you ever played in a preseason game three starters already banged up in the Old Line you do have right now Warren McLendon out will be relied on as a key backup as Bennett is lucky that did not get picked off throwing into traffic with five blue jerseys in he's had a lot of success rolling out of the pocket so far today this one's just uh one land underneath uh that was a dangerous ball Sam wiggas also got knocked down the rookie wide receiver from Ohio U McVey there didn't get it wigless formerly at Ohio State went to Ohio you put up good numbers in here try to make the Rams bet it on third down has another Rams first down tackle there by W Thomas well protected again on third down it's been a bit of a trend with that ball over the second level def gain of 14 for ston Bennett yeah let's give the o line a Little Love I mean this has been good protection start a preseason gu left tackle playing well uh you know I continue to see these guys kind of taking those steps and I got to be honest I know I'm I love seeing him run the football physically they've had some success they four for 63 for Whittington the rookie wide receiver in his first NFL game two-minute warning two minutes remaining here mov down the field a couple of times and they had on defense at least turn over on Downs as we bring it back to soine tell you it is time for our player Credit Union a credit union you can count on it's pukaa after rewriting the rookie record booked last year a wide receiver I was told today that if it were a playoff game as puka obvious be able to play week one he should be good as Zack Evans gets around corner and lowers his shoulder here Eric Scott who got called for a personal two yeah it was crazy watching n in the preseason last year going back now pardon me in watching him not then knowing what he would become but you saw it back friendly yep on the receiving end from ston Bennett in preseason week one he just gets open so good against Zone coverage and off to Zack Evans the second year back has some room and he falls forward to the 35 it's a gain of four Maris Bell who had an intercept third down and four Rams do have all three timeouts they're going to let the clock run here in a 66 game yeah you again you see Rams getting G on the ground it's good for the Run game you're going to have quality carries uh let's see if they can get another version here you see Matthew staford on the sideline joined us earlier appreciate that Rams 31 Evans is the back and he will get the carry and get net in the hole with nowhere to go will call a timeout 108 remaining the Cowboys calling time out I beg your pardon yeah you were talking about puka Nua is early just seeing him play his ability to fall forward any catch he almost always got another yard got another two yards so to see his effect was no surprise because it always felt like no matter what the play was his back to guys front fa facing guys he always ended up with more yards than when he touched the football even in looks at play for the RS because you more than any other off most offens in the NFL the wide receivers block they get dirty especially with this Duo Run game that they've been running so similar qualities all right Rams going to go for it they're two for two on fourth down today fourth and three need the 31 got Whittington bottom of the a action double a gap they drop Whittington at the 30 Whittington fites forward and gets that first down his NFL debut mea just said it that pukaa right there make a tough catch and continue to find a way to fight for those extra yards Scott and getting to the 30 and now the Rams are the clock moving Bennett nice catch on the 30 that's wigless Sam wiggas to put him in the red zone and now a time out with the clock at 39 after a gain of 11 I mean you got to understand there's guys's reps are limited for him to step in this way it's impressive to see him the way he's operated this offense call a big these guys but if bod knck goes out there and he takes this team down the field against the Packers like I I can see this thing where maybe Sean in preseason we'll talk about it as soon as the second half is over take it across the street to Sofi stadi thank you Chris who obviously came here with Shawn mcy a number of assistant jobs on the defensive side of the ball gets that promotion to defensive coordinator we're going to get a run back here Tyron Billy Johnston back across the 25 yd line as we all still kind of figure out the new Dynamic kick off trade lands from Andrew Whitworth Andre ceciliano You know despite the score no one's been to the end zone yet somewhat entertaining first half of football guys big plays and then the defenses have done a good job down the red zone of keeping the other one out we saw Cooper Rush early there for Mike McCarthy and open up on his own 28 yd line with Malik Davis in the back field he'll give it to Davis who's got good room to run there across the 30 yard called his name a lot so far today a guy who's taken with the last pick of the draft I don't like the Mr Irrelevant tag I think it's negative but positive I know but calling somebody irrelevant I don't like either way Brock P has clearly done very well desan Johnson not nearly as a not so irrelevant rookie uh there is a rookie that's Revan span Ford the tight end out of Min you got a little bit of play in the regular season last year as did a lot of these young defensive players I mean it's if noton Donald but what that meant is you got valuable experience for guys like Johnson who in previous considerations the Rams probably wouldn't have seen that action as we see the Archer with your former teamate with Thomas right behind him showing his speed taking it across Midfield getting a first down in Rams territory for a gain of 14 yeah we got uh Tyler G G taking some snaps out there at left tackle for the cowboys he's somebody that really hopeing has he's their first round pick out of Oklahoma also played at TCU with Steve aula actually play a little L back ball out oh completion and a fumble forward out of bounds it was laying there on the sideline right in front of the Rams sideline there but nobody could get to very different approach from the Rams when it comes to who they're playing the preseason because that's a guy who they really want to start now I think it's valuable for him because he didn't play left tackles reps are needed for him to go into season and protect Dak Prescott because there was a forward fumble out of bounds they're going to go back to the spot of the fumble and Davis will care is certainly an athlete there at left T we number 60 for the Cowboys I mentioned he played some H he really did at TCU before transferring get to the know that you know that feeling once exactly uh yeah no he's he's really a talented looking kid you know I think in Camp they really thought he kind of been out he's been out ill for the last few days so that's also probably part of it is I think they probably feel there's some snaps there they want to see him get to kind of catch up some of the time he's missed and Charles Woods the rookie with the tackle that's going to be enough for a first down it's going to take it to the 37 yd line it is a gain of with pressure bearing down on him getting the ball smart enough to do the chains he's had a couple of nice drives here Charles Woods there with the tackle he goes to the sidelines the Rams having their secondary rookies undrafted free agent that has made an impression St Conor in there with the tackle Cory diring 98 with the tackle opening drive here third quarter yeah on that catch a couple plays ago Ryan you know in this draft in rounds 5 through 7even he had the highest yards per route run uh the year before and the last guy to do that puka Nua we don't know about everyone to puka today well guy we don't know about there we go had a lot of success at a smaller school with SE with flag down cam Johnson out of Northwestern Floy who you're mentioning earlier guys wearing 18 the rookie had a Southeast Missouri yeah he's had a couple impressive catches I he he showed up interesting guy 5y penalty second down so back him up cam Johnson called for that as they to do the third quarter of the first preseason game yeah i' be interested seeing what the offense would look like with Tre L Prescott obviously you're seeing some some of the design QB Run game baked in there with the Zone read and whatnot but uh a little bit of pre- snap motion there get some in trouble we have former Trojan number six and that is a nice tackle there by jayen m H second time we've called his name today the rookie out of Tennessee talking to him about defense and seeing these guys pull the trigger play Fast play aggressive in this game and uh you're seeing it we've seen a number of different guys different numbers seem to be an identity of this defense a little bit brought down the much bigger John Stevens at 65221 and it brings up third and long third and 13 Stevens again with the catch but well short of the first down it's Mulla who gets him on the second consecutive tackle the one big play to Jaylen Brooks earlier in the game you're not really seeing explosive plays because they're bringing them down fourth and six why not go for it not go for it Cowboys going to go five wide Lance needs to get him to the Rams four Lance flushed out by Johnson flips the hips and throws down field into traffic on the sideline and incomplete and a turnover roen Bernett is there and for the second time today the Rams defense takes it back on down well done Chris SCH 669 tonight we have the Cava salad bber prawn suya grilled lamb and the pride of Productions is [Music] prohibited I know the scoreboard may not indicate it but this is actually been a fun game here it's six Rams and the Cowboys pre-season opener 920 to go in the third quarter ston Bennett yes has thrown a couple of picks but he's ALS he's at least going to take it the majority of the snaps maybe we see dresser win a little bit later but he has Boston Scott behind hton the rookie you tell him with the long hair out from under his helmet uh the Rams have had some moments offensiv here's well that's his 10th carry of the day it's good for seven he has 10 for 48 guys he's run well and he said here you're the offensive line yeah you've seen this this group play the entire game so you can kind of see they found a little bit of a rhythm they kind of know what they like and they seem to be playing well up there Austin Scott joked earlier known as the Giant Killer some great moments against their NFC East Rivals play fake to is caught Cowboy territory win don't get don't get the penalty Jordan Winnington ah there's the flag although the flags I think PR taunting after the fact um face mask offense number 83 a 15yd penalty second down all right time for a play.com to learn more we make it easy and we go down to Kurt sandville hi Kurt hey guys I'm with the conductor Kobe Turner you're coming up what a difference you what the challenge in staying humble and hungry this year um it's just about going back to the process and continuing to trust in that process um and and having that process numbers or anything like that but just making sure every single day I'm uh putting in the work that's gonna warrant me the success that I want to have part of the mantra for this team and did that better than Aaron Donald you benefited from learning from him what will you miss the most and and how do you pick up some of that slack yeah um um but his energy too um he's a guy who in game day like I remember my first game with them Seahawks I looked him in his eyes and he was just laser focused that sort of uh calm mentality and uh that focus and that Fierce competitiveness um is going to be something that I definitely hope to bring this year for the the guys and I'm continuing to take up you know and modeling the way and uh having my process be something that's worthy of being followed that's quite the visual his laser focus now also Raheem Morris is 8 years how would you describe him in his first year as defensive coordinator yeah um he's picked up the reins and it's just kept on going uh we all love shul there's a couple of different things and a lot more communication um intra positionally and uh yeah we're all behind Shula and and we're so excited for him to yeah I can't say enough I'm about the type of man the type of leader that he is and we're just all excited to go to B for him I think I speak for a lot of ram fans they're behind you as well KT appreciate it to you upstairs the conductor and the singer who brought the house down sing of the anthem at I saw yeah Krypto he he is got pipes yard reception as you see the rookie or the rookie Center B limmer walking to the sideline get up in on him when we can Micha is able to convert guys there on Third and long he also had another complete to Jordan witon who is 6 4747 if you want the back you granted it doesn't count but Whittington has looked good here today third and seven Rams at Midfield let's see what ston Bennett can do [Music] here flushed out to the right eyes downfield and will throw it away and survive to see another day yeah I think you know here Kobe tulla I think it's interesting coming off of Raheem moris a guy with that smile his energy when you walk in a room where he Morris you just feel better about the day and Chris sh being just a good man who knows his football but he's not the type of guy that wants to prove it to you I think he you know he gets in there with those guys and then they get a chance to that guy who you don't you can feel that vibe from a young defense that we want to rise up and prove to people what we're about Aaron Donald's gone but we want to show you who we're going to be going forward for either team is going to be a Touchback almost Cameron McCutchen almost was able to stop it we'll finish that thought when we get back third and we only had one Punt and it just happened you would have said what I believe it cuz I'm here you know but I'll tell you what you guys were just talking about it this was a you know that was a 19 yd difference and we can't be we got to be smart we can't have that kind of stuff they're going a personal foul on us opportunities for us right there hey what are you calling after the play person foul unnecessary Rush no hey I think when you see it you'll see it differently that's bad I don't like that at all all right you you're bad luck like that is your fault Andrew cilio no you know what I thought I I'm an agreement I didn't see much yeah I'm not so sure what it again I didn't we don't need to we know what happened all right Ray Tomlinson called there 66 game Cowboys new some gas there from the TR a little bit High good cam lampin good tight coverage but you guys have mention it what a good punt by Ethan Evans one of the work our should have been on the one yd line for us that's a 19 yard difference you get people backed up changes the way they can call a game it's so different those are really good learning opport play if we get another opportunity at something similar he you mentioned cam you have four guys named cam good job Tyler Davis the stack he just shows up that's what you saw at the on the film at Clemson I got it you know it was cool I got a text from dbos Sweeney after we drafted him he said you know there's a lot of great in terms of who I would want of all these great players we've had he would be on that team and that says a lot coming from coach Sween he started 49 games aive player and he has certainly showed up today third and seven Sean see if we can get off the grass right here great job being able to get the incompletion he's short good it's a good job right there forcing the ball to come out go short of the sticks see if they're thinking about going for it right here hey Sean the young DBS that was Jason Taylor have really hit and tackled well today yeah they've done a really good job I've been really pleased with them I think the leadership of really on display and really like the depth and the understanding this is a big play for us right here potion into empty fourth and three what the big win by Cory D oh he got oh don't let him escape the come on oh I'll tell you what Cory Duron wins got a chance to be able to finish that that was I tell you what that that's a good competitive Play Can't Let Him spin out inside out Pursuit El Eli Neil is just short of being able to run him out oh should I challenge that guys you want to challenge it challenge challenge it let's go see that's new Sean I told somebody recently that sometimes you do not take the challenge flag out to the field for preseason games that's true hold on can you take it out of your pocket can you prove it no you just caught me great kind of um I'm I'm sorry coaches cam exposing people jeez almighty this will be my last glad do you guys get such a kick out of it hey we enjoy it you offered to challenge it no I know I just in one of those deals good job right there man Omar SP I mean he is he is a tough dude so Eli NE these guys are heavy at the point of contact they got a nice tough demeanor about them a good job go I mean you see a bunch of guys different numbers different positions the attitude the way they're flying around a really good sign of of really what Chris shulu is he we play with you can see it down in and down out at every position there's no question there it goes you know there is no question good job venberg run a big do you like how your defense having the opportunity to go up against a dual strike quarterback in the preseason like this I think it's great Mina because you know sometimes when you don't approach you know STS and some athleticism but you know Matthew and Jimmy can really buy time and Escape but it's different than what Trey does so I think it is excellent for us especially vision and really throughout the course of the Season that that have the ability thiser 65 yd field goal could probably knock this true Brandon Aubrey career long 60 this is for 65 that's short short y hey my locker room get my flag okay go get it all right we're throw to challenge flag right at Aubrey would have been 65 that was fun regardless game 115 to go back at Sofi head down to Kurt sandville now for trip around the league brought to you by km Los Angeles it's open now beyond anything you've experienced by tickets ni thank you Mike McDonald was here last night he was remember the defensive coordinator for Jim Harbaugh at the University of Michigan in 2021 and those two coaches and those two coaches made their preseason debut against each other and as it turns out those two guys good friends but now it is McDonald that is the young who's 38 a year older and of course a tip of the cap to Caleb Williams won a national championship at USC and he was Sensational in his preseason as we see in interception his second preseason game and they're just raving about his ability to scramble the football guys reception guys for Stetson Bennett today he's having trouble throwing the ball over the middle of the field field Julius Woods gets him this time you know Andrew what's so the cleanliness of the pocket he was so well protected he had so much time you don't want to see those almost too much third one for ston bed we're still six welcome to Sapphire Lounge by the club 106 to go here in the third here is your Bob's Blitz of the game brought to you by Bob into the home you love visit my bobs.com Tyler Davis guys the rookie out of Clemson has had himself a day uh has a quarterback hit and a tfl third Tyler Davis number 90 here he's really quick at the get off is he's got the get off there as Lance throws a net and he's going to be at the 46 yd line as we see Tre lance out here gain of 11 there guys let's go back to the interception with what do you what do you see here from St and uh that that Contin to be all some of these place he almost has hey your your mic's not working wait let's try to get that mic fixed we'll get it didn't really uh make some room create some new angles as I know you're going to say uh Snoop Connor with the check down there from Tre Lance I mention this right after but the fact that he is throwing these from inside such clean pockets and even if no one's open as they are there you know sets and bit something or throw it away check it down whatever but um yeah these interceptions compounding are not encouraging Bennett had three interceptions in pre-season a year ago throw and lands here at the end of three his BR span for and that's going to get it to the Rams 4 field they have held the Cowboys to four of 11 on third down Dallas with a third and short in Rams territory to open up the fourth and they will get it picks up the first out of gain of four me You' talked before we saw the fade in the end zone let's use the quarterback's legs here here that's what the cowboy traded all of that to go up and draft him you're adding this uh Mobility to the offense didn't have before and for various reasons never got to show it played a clean football game I'll say that and and that's got to be encouraging Cowboys fans Tre Lance 19 to 30 131 will take he over throws shot listen I like Tre Lance there's a reason he was the number three overall pick if the ners didn't take him somebody else was taking him in the top 10 he didn't play a lot of college foot really had that bull shot with the 49ers granted when he was out there he didn't take that job and claim it as his own question is who nice hit there Rams DB's linebackers have really been hitting today that one Tanner Engle and he loses his helmet Trey you just really want to see him be able to make some of the simple plays and that's really the thing you've kind of missed you know he's an athlete you know he has this ability to play the position and all the talent but offense you haven't really seen him do that yet in his career I think what that's what really McCarthy wants to see to be able to trust him as a backup Princeton Fant there of one Noah F sweep right off the little pitch there Snoop Conor BR pushing to the sideline he you're pardoned with the tackle to bring up fourth and four on the 35 the Cowboys are key to the offense out there think they'll put try in empty again or no not this time Cowboys two for four tonight our got Tyler Davis fourth down Lance van venberg gets him and the Rams take it over on Downs for the third time today we saw Ben berenberg lose containment earlier that he had an emphasis there they must have talked about on the sideline is make him keep him in that pocket I think he did a great job there containing him and then pulling him down for the sack Zack van buul the defense has made some place as well three turnovers on down yeah I think that they're going to like what they see on the all 22 that sack there nobody was open hit as well as the Rams after the most recent turnover on Downs will take over near Midfield Zack Evans C the fall what do you got hey guys this is one of my favorite stories Michael Hoy 5 years ago you're an undrafted free agent you're still here making a huge what do you try to convey to these guys trying to make this team I think it's just you know showing who you are you know from our perspective as a rusher situationally aware and then tackling this and they want to give young guys a chance to do it in the NFL adjust to some of the rules adjust to what game day atmosphere is like but you know at the end of the day resume on the field so that even if you're maybe not playing for us you're playing for somebody this season you know one we've talked a lot about the all the new roles especially the r and when I first saw it I was like I've seen that for years and now it's a penalty can you kind of describe the The Gray Zone and how to avoid it league and how they're going to officiate it there's kind of three things they're looking for it's uh a wrap around the race the waste a uh drop of your body weight there's ways to sort of if you find yourself in a bad spot similar to when you you know land on a quarterback that if you can spin off put your fourarms down so you don't have your full body weight but anytime they change your and we're all athletes like we can make adjustments like that on the Fly and just like any tweak you would make in game week we'll just make that tweak for the rest of the season well especially you you're from Brown you got a question is you got a new defensive coordinator but an old friend in Chris schula kind of describe what his impact has been in his first years the DC I mean in year you know my my whole career too um you know it makes the transition really easy because everything sounds the same so a lot of the words are same the structure uh we can just you know tweak and adjust things to suit you know the new guys we have in the the building uh tweak and adjust things of how we want to attack and it just the same way we' adjust for a game your time I know you're looking and and feel healthy have a great healthy season excited for the opener indeed hey guys back to you upstairs Michael Hoy all right Kurt thank you m at the edge position entered Camp as the most experienced Edge and he had only been playing the position for a couple of months much different obviously I can rest in the preseason and get ready for the opener it is second and 20 Mike mallister got called for for a hold fourth Rams penalty as we were taught that earlier we saw Drake Stoops first NFL catch as well yeah I mean talking about Michael Hoy I was uh obviously the left tackle when he first it is that he was the guy that annoyed the living fire Ario every day in practice because he played so hard every practice was his game day and there is no team and still a big part of it because he worked in a way that he had a goal to get there and he didn't care if he was on the practice squad he didn't care what his spot on the team was he was out and it is gone well certainly here for Michael hoyd he is in a good position here Rams on Third and long will play cons finin Evans for his second punt o the day about Hoy too they asked him to do so many different things over the years come so many times I saw him dropping into coverage they're running all those simulated pressures up front he's kind of a a bit of a jack KN for Raheem Morris he was and he played human and and the way he plays a lot of those guys can emulate Ethan Evans back to punt Tyron Billy Johnson underneath it will let it f cannot doubt it cannot downed a 43 yd punt there for Ethan Evans from every game get NFL Red Zone now 66 the score here four now for your drive of the game brought to you by LG appliances performances you can depend on available at Power liances now Rams came outson Bennett slinging it took 6 and half off the clock Jordan witon got into the action the rookie wide receiver from TCH the day here he picked up 30 to get the Rams into the Red Zone eventually Joshua cardi fellow rookie nailed the field goal one of two and we are 66 in the fourth Andrew Whitworth times I'm Andrew ceciliano as we see cam in the ram secondary that includes cam curl who's not in uniform today the pre- agent from the commanders who's going to play a big part the veteran in the secondary has played well and hit well today try Lance on the keeper chased by V vinberg had a sack to get him off Mulla as well feels like as the game has gone on this Rams defensive front has done a better job of playing the Tre L Keepers a lot of obviously in the Rams offense between Matthew Stafford Jimmy gar they're not dealing with a whole lot of scrambles from the quarterback so I think this is a little bit of getting a feel Matthew Stafford Zone re is not something you hear very often I mean the guy's 12 though he's moving well now he's skinny right now Matthew looks good yeah as well that's caught by the pmer Trojan Deontay berett being told that you may not see the score on the screen right now I'll tell you we have counting down after that Bernette reception it is first down for the Cowboys on the 33 yd line that was good for a gain of 12 Lance in traffic oh big hit there by a DB the Rams love Josh Wallace at the 45 har gain of 12 mention these young DBS guys and you you're given X number of dollars every team X number of dollars here to spend on undrafted rookies Rams gave Josh Wall and the off season doesn't mean he's guaranteed to make the team in any way shape or form but they're happy with what they've seen from the kid out of Michigan the former high school basketball championship right uh it'll be interesting to see all these Michigan defensive players rookies in the NFL this year a lot were drafted Mike McDonald Cross City Jesse Minter coming from Michigan that familiarity will help them stick around the league on things saw both M play the Chargers caught again Helman Harmon again stretches and brings it down Helman Harmon at an NC State former Commander draft pick gain of 26 that's two catches in a row going up to get it and then coming what you love to see you see a guy stepping up in a moment like this at the end of the game getting his opportunities and taking advantage of it absolutely a nice breaking tackle move clock is moving as well seven minutes remaining here in the fourth quarter in a 66 game in traffic dangerous incomplete big your paron cam Johnson comes out of that football in traffic game of on this drive so far couple good throws putting it up where only his guy can get it yeah this is a big drive for him um he's playing quicker 2437 make a great catch for you too sometimes 62 or or a little too hot there for RAC m is on the 20 apologize for the lack of graphics on your screen third and four 66 Cowboys Rams fourth [Applause] quarter see if we can get some points on the board here Lance not good MCM again it's McMath again all right looks like they're finally going to kick one three three and outs forces the Cowboys to call on the Special Teams and Brandon Aubrey who earlier tried from 60b from 38 out of the Brian anger hold right hatch rookie former soccer player at Notre dang nails that one and with six aing here in the fourth quarter the preseason open six but they are getting the ball back after Tre Lance drove the Cowboys into Rams territory defense was able to get off the field Force the Branford stepson Bennett to maybe do something here as we look at another example of what the NFL is calling the dynamic kickoff it's a new kickoff the receiving team have to line up between the 30 and the 35 and only two guys are allowed to be back and they're going to get a return 2 thrown from the back field Xavier Smith takes it out to the 34 we've seen a lot of flags early on through the first last week in Canon let's see what this one is Lance Clark is our referee today he's talking it over with his grw a lot of the the penalties we've seen so far well they don't know when to go cuz they got to turn around to see you know caught the ball as are hit the ground that's totally new and I think it's just so different Andrew functionally it is it's changed the game and and the whole point of it is is that last year you had the least amount of kick returns in in the league where's the ball going to start for the other team on offense is it before the 20 after the 30 most kickoffs average between the 21 and 30 in the previous system is that going well offset illegal formation kicking team number 26 during the return holding receiving team number 85 yeah let's go Nia colanic the r tight end gets called for the hole but but to your point look as to block for Xavier Smith they can't move until the ball hits the ground or Smith Fields the kickoff but their back is turned now they could obviously look back Advantage here and it's going to take a little while to get used to but to your point with last year only 21% of kickoff for returns one interesting thing is they they got B Scot back there they the NFL you're seeing a lot of running backs because it is much more like a run play traditional Run play so even for the blockers it's a little different yes for the blockers as well even for the blockers it's very I'll be interested to see if some of these teams don't try to Zone A lot of these and they're kind of create a Zone Run game with the way they do some of this it be I think Scott's going to take another couple of yards deep he's got a lot of kick return experience back in the old days a flag throw do you think it's possible in like high lever situations you might see starting offensive linemen in there not there and just try to create some SS because that's going to be interesting to see that close in proximity not like you can run away from the guys you could see some guys some teams try to do that an offensive Lin like yes we can say oh they're going to run trap and you know similar Zone blocking but how different is it because of the spacing well I mean it kind of depend similar to an and blocking out on the screen so it's very similar you see teams that are good at those screens I bet they'd be good at getting back here and returning some of these kickoffs coaches have to make decisions running backs out there how we going to treat it Ben BR it complete Z EV with good yardage across the 35 quarter down 9 to six start the drive well yeah I I think it's the key this time of the game I I love the Cowboys getting a couple points there cuz now you put STS and Ben in this opportunity hey we's in the game but the life of the NFL the game's still going you win the game in the fourth quarter nobody remembers any of that right and so that's your opportunity take these guys on Smur yard play and they will hand it to Evans running left cannot get around the corner nowhere to go hit there by is not on my roster it's a gain of two it's the preseason folks you were talking about teams who are good at screens and how that might help them as you were saying that I was thinking their offense um and their running backs really aren haven't been asked for years now to be part of the passing game credit to Darius Harris there with the tackle second and 12 445 and clock moving here to go in the third ramps have three timeouts that's a matter of the play fake steps UPS over the middle today he's been intercepted this time it's Brock mogenson late and over the middle all for it away again I think what and I don't want to you know discredit the plays made by the cult for the Rams to look at this the next day is these aren't really the cases of DBS making amazing plays or pass rushers getting in his face it's just decision making and some reason missing these underneath Defenders you know there's guys sitting under those routes and if you're going to throw that it had to be layered up over that guy uh just kind of missing some of those all four of those interceptions look stunningly similar hoganson there the rookie Don't Mind If I Do crowd gets loud now 23 yd line with a play clock at two Lance moves to the left and valkenberg forces him back inside with Tui leoa bringing him down another great job by the job of not letting him get out of this pocket now you can see everybody with Vision on him as a rusher trying to keep him back behind the line of scrimmage and then Clos him with effort and 165 there David oiga as well as the Rams go deep into the depth chart and they hand it here the Cowboys do the Bernett flag on the far side 20 going to be a holding on cam Johnson possibly holding offense number 14 J penalty second down second penalty today back in the Cowboys up on cam Johnson and it sets up third and long a lot of backed up situations the Rams defense have survived through in this game it's been impr these Cowboys in the end zone it's second and 20 announced third down here in the stadium it is second and 20 on the 31 Lance clock stops at 341 now it's third down third and 18 the defense can hold him to a field auy it'll be 49 from here trying to give Stenson B another chance I mean we've talked about Chris Ula mean but also Aubrey Pleasant now in charge of this they just they've been in position all game long you're not really catching guys out of position at allenberg bringing the pressure and the defense is going to get off the F tack flying around yeah he's LSU SC he's in LSU for a few years I think I've seen his name yeah feel like he's president as I was saying you look at this team you know Chris schul and Aubrey and some of these guys involved in the defense the job that everyone seems to be in the spots making the plays uh pulling the trigger credit to those guys getting these guys playing this way this will be a 52 yd field goal try now for Aubrey who is at three today and he's missed for two guys got easy gas here easy easy kicker absolutely What a fine he was at the Cowboys but I think a great credit as I said you can't say it enough think about this four turnovers and only give up four field goals I mean that's impressive say hey you know what are we doing out here we're not having a chance to you know keep getting backed up in situations this defense has continued to play and that's a great thing and you mentioned confidence these four picks it's his first game guys since August 26th of last year the Ram's third and final pre-season game he's going to get another shot at it obviously of them today he took a year off from football right it was a long road back for him he feels good he is happy to be here the Rams are happy as around him he is a gamer Sean mcvey's words to us a couple of days too time for him to be a gamer here they'll get another shot just to remind folks of the stakes too for Bennett Jimmy Garo suspended the first two games as of now he is backing up Matthew Stafford decision making something they're going to want to see obviously R but knowing that going into the regular season he is your qb2 the stakes are an ability to overcome some of these things and what a great opportunity again as we talked about the defense putting them in position you're still just down a score he's got a chance here wigl Stoops on the field Miller forestall as well 82 tight end the former ground as the little [Music] off offense number 68 5yd penalty Den after B limber the rookie got the start went to the side line a little banged up and look candidly here ston Bennett has got to tell this team and tell Shawn McVey in Detroit you got to have a reliable backup you're starting on Sunday night against another playoff team in a rematch of the it's not all about tonight got a couple of more preseason games but here he has a chance to erase some of the memories of those four interception and out the 25 they have all three timeouts here try to put a game winning r together the help let pick up he has the check down here Scot back to the line of scrimmage and then run out of bounds by Jason Jordan it's going to stop the clocking so I feel like throughout the course of this game Bennett has looked better throwing he did have one interception throwing on the r but for the most part he's looked a little bit more comfortable on the Move more yeah six here's the pressure he's going down back inside the 20 Jason L of n see what happened here up front oh just an extra rusher there bringing one any more find something else to do with it there get out of the pocket cuz that right there is a kind of a delayed Rush did have a got for him first Dallas sack Zack Evans couldn't get brought out of bounds across the 30 yd line but that was third and 18 gain of nine it'll be four field ahead of the two-minute warning two 11 to go got to get to the 40 so warning ston Bennett here are the keys see what you can do that of gun the snap from mallister Bennett steps up Bennett fires over the middle flag down intercepted it's a Manny Johnson and he's going to run it back into RAM territory to the 30 two on the corner yep flags at to 35 this one's on the Cowboys this one will keep the Rams Drive alive Yen with an automatic first down Josh Butler keeps the Rams Drive alive and we are at the two-minute warning Rogers it's 12 to6 you can still score a touchdown right here seven points and take the lead all three timeouts everything's on the table this is get the energy up great practice would have been ston Bennett's fifth interception Rams have new life new set of downs their own 36 here we go three timeouts Bennett check down you know 41 yd line let's go clock mov a lot of times in these drives it's about getting it moving getting the defense having to talk and communicate and you speed that Tempo up get them confused in the second on the left checks in at wide receiver and the rams look to be backing up Lan Clark has been working a lot today especially in the second half see what they want to do F start offense the 68 5yd penalty second down Mike must in that Center when B limmer the rookie was banged up earlier uh has had a couple of rough moments here yeah it's another miscommunication on their timing and you can't have that now just basically it's like you just do an incompletion on first down second and long here kind of the opposite of what the momentum they had going there down now the penalty wipes out those 5 yds 139 to go there's a completion cross the 45 yd line you got third down probably coming up break Stoops the rookie now this is the key in these no huddle drives G of 10 they're going to move the sticks there first down Bennett over the middle wless has a Cowboys territory nice C the secondary as wiggas is slow to get up they're going to stop the clock at 115 I think he's going to call use of the helmet or gain of nine Shawn McVey is coming out to check on his rookie wide receiver undrafted out of Ohio as personal foul unnecessary Rush Defense number 53 a 15yd penalty will be add at the end of the play first down I don't know I don't know what that was hit him in the back of the helmet as wigless 33 Julius wood who had an interception there as well as that's a tough scene there Jared verse and Brandon Jackson are positive thoughts Sam wiggas who was on his back at the Cowboys 45 yd line and positive thoughts again to Sam wiggas 126 here that's a good scene Sam is up got off the field under his own power heading into the blue medical tent get up and his teammates R get up off a knee there as it was a scary SC wiggas had his neck hit forward yep but he is out on the Cowboys 30 yd line after that personal foul they're going to work from under Center and toss left to Scott five nice run there by Boston Scott a Manny Johnson with the tackle behind an AJR Curry block is seven on this drive bleeding clock getting the ball with the running back space Bennett lofing Forest has across the 20 out of bound this is what we talked about me here's your opportunity right now here we go 49 seconds any none of that matters right now get an opportunity go get in the end zone be happy with winning the game g a five there laughing wigless or laughing straight Stoops across the 10 he gets a first down to the eight move the sticks and the Rams are in the red zone of the Rams are threatened gain of 12 give to Scott time to run Scott nice move to the inside gets maybe two yards to the six time and with the tackle this drive is a great example of why it's so advantageous to have all three timeouts two minutes left because St brenn didn't have to press class outside and suddenly you're you know knocking on the door in the end zone yeah got him a chance to win the game for your football team that's the ultimate goals and they were help by two Dallas penalties the defensive holding that wiped out a Bennett pick and then the personal foul there with wi was hit in the back of the neck as they are in the red zone and they are threatening and they are over 300 yards the total offense here as well today despite those four interceptions you could run the ball you take a shot of the end zone as you said wh [Music] going to go ni Cola colage what do you think I like it I like that on the field looks like cor doll [Music] to JJ laughing the game 81 Champion Sunni Portland savier Smith into the game they go empty from the six running Ben back to the line of scrimmage 18 17 Sean mcy calls timeout nowhere to go yep getting the empty trying to give him an easy solution here nothing there I like him pulling that ball down he's had a couple where he's kind of made Bound and keeps the football gets another possession right here absolutely gets back to the line of scrimmage rather than forcing it there in the end zone knows you have the timeouts here Ram seconds to go and the Rams end this one on a today held the Cowboys to just the four field goals Rams have two Joshua cardi see if they get in the end zone Smith and forc all to the right Boston Scott 17 to go Bennett back corner The End Zone over the head a lap too hot fourth down to beg your part right decision just kick off yep need six yeah I would imagine they're going to do something similar where they did in the first play second go empty it out give him some uh one-on ones hopefully let him work both sides of the field yep fourth down fourth and goal to tie the game this is it out to the left Bennett slings it back in the touchdown all right player Miller forest and we seconds to go that's a that's a great second reaction play by [Applause] Bennett we talked about it you had your at moments but you know what in the biggest moment can you step up and do something for your football team he did it right there phenomenal field keeping his eyes down field phenomenal job flipping his hips that's the guy we saw in college absolutely and now the extra point to give the Rams the on the clock the rookie Joshua cardi this is for the win right through the upright 4 seconds left how about that the first game winner Jos s that got called back on a cowboy penalty this dson Bennett drives him down the field and it's all smiles there on the Ram side five we get shot called me a jerk come on game winning Drive let's go baby he's in a great mood now got a happy ending he you know what he us now I feel good for that guy right there and look there's going to be plenty to learn from from this game he's going to go back to the tape say hey what are some things I could do better in these moments but the truth is he had some great snaps in this game as well and there's just some Defenders and I do think me it's a positive that it was kind of the same mistake a little bit it's like hey can we go fix that the guys that you're not seeing that are underneath some of these receivers so positive that May's mistakes were not on account of skill players walking in fact I was very impressed by some of these young skill players LED of course by Jordan Whit all right so Cowboys are going to take a time out guys this is interesting here because it's a dynamic kickoff for will we get one
