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

four yards in 13 plays it was Tre Lance to Ryan flenoy Ford is the best in Texas so how about the remember the week one against the Rams who overthrew the fade in The End Zone on the left side ball goes incomplete looking for Jaylen Johnson and that's a major incompletion as we start continuing to talk about situational football now that stops the clock right so now you're down to Second down you have two timeouts left whatever happens here run or pass obviously Mike McCarthy and Zimmer and the rest of the squad can now call back toback timeouts to give you well over a minute of playtime left if you can get a stop on these next two plays with a minute 42 left you could actually let the clock run down just use one timeout and keep one in your hip pocket to use like you did a week ago Easton Stick Over the middle but there it goes out of the hands again of Jaylen Johnson goes incomplete a second timeout for the Cowboys there that is a second gift because he had way too much time to sit back there in the pocket got to do a good job better job Dallas Cowboys at is of getting some pressure that's just a peer drop and another stop of the clock for the Dallas Cowboys they're just giving gifts in the in the month of August right now rookie out of East Carolina Jaylen Johnson so third and 10 looking to try to get some pressure here Carl Lawson okay Alara muhamed out there on that defensive ends can they get home or at least Force an errant pass bringing the linebacker up the middle bringing Maris Bell as well flushed out stick throws down field and the ball batted Away by Israel Mamu looking for Jaylen Gil three and out and Trey Lance will get another chance on offense this is what you call team defense here Bill defensive ends are working the interior defensive line is working okay we got pressure coming Buddy Johnson blows up the running back Mars Bell roams free and then you get the quarterback coming out the pocket allowing isra Mamu to come up there get the pbu the pass break up and you force a fourth down punt the ball now your offense gets the ball back with almost a minute and a half left on the clock and a pocket full of timeouts in their hand iron Billy Johnson from his own 12 yd line straight up field for about a 15yd return Cowboys will take over on offense close captioning brought to you by the Texas Lottery making this cowbo regardless of hearing abilities Cowboy scratch tickets are here play today so the Cowboys take over with 118 left in the half the Chargers had the football for all of 28 seconds on that possession yeah that's bad clock management by by the Chargers but what an opportunity for Trey Lance in this cowboys offense to show what they're capable of interesting choice for Royce Freeman to being here in the two-minute offense situation gets the ball as well there's Freeman for a pickup of about seven yds Cowboys with two timeouts left go a lot of time running right now down to a minute and two seconds want to get the ball snap get on the other side of the 50 yd line and over the middle John Stevens Jr inside the 40 ball comes out and the Chargers have it that's not what you want to see John Stevens Jr with a good route down the middle but the ball security number one thing on the field the most important thing on the field is that ball doesn't matter that you ran a good route doesn't matter that you made a good catch you have to secure the Rock and there's always a guy that you don't see behind you that punches it out the veteran Tony Jefferson knocked the ball oh G it Tony Jefferson so we need to be looking at our scouting department for players I got I got to take you back 11 years ago Tony Jefferson in a preseason game at Arizona as a rookie undrafted guy out of Oklahoma made plays like this all over the field and made the roster and M's been in the league now for over a decade now here he is trying to comeback and making plays all over the field again now Easton sticks got an opportunity with 50 seconds left on deep downfield Andrew boo with the coverage on Jerry Rice's son Bryan rice really good C coverage by Andrew booth there the only times that we've seen Andrew Booth get beat over over these last few weeks since he's touched ground touched ground with the Cowboys is Big play on a post route last week against the Raiders and then you saw the big play earlier today that he gave up on a go route so that's the one area that as he steps to the line of scrimmage he has to be aware that's my current weak spot and that's where they're going to try to get me at is by taking shots over the top sticks going to run it this time and get the first down inside Dallas end of the field well he had four straight incompletions here in the last two minutes of the game and he said I'll just run it instead stick has good running ability also out of North Dakota State just like Trey Lance in fact Easton stick played on four straight national championship teams in North Dakota State now he was the starting quarterback on only two of those just prior to Trey Lance winning it in 2019 who was the quarterback the first couple of years that Easton stick was there at uh North Dakota State and he was the backup Carson Wentz with the quarterback now oh wow this game brought to you by AT&T the official 5G Innovation partner of the Dallas Cowboys from the 48 yd [Applause] line Deep Over the middle and off the hands of a Dallas Defender and that's Willie Harvey East SS having a rough day so far today he's under 25% % on his completion rate and is one of the reasons why you have to try to find a way to get the rock to your guy a little bit high right there his man was actually open on the end route he just sailed it there's a lot of things that contribute to that whether you're you're standing a little bit too high in the pocket whether you're dropping your elbow either way he has to try to find a solution because right now he's 23.1% on a completion rate second straight week Willie Harvey almost had an interception he almost had a pick six against Gardner menu last week stick going deep right side and it goes was incomplete looking for Cornelius Johnson the rookie out of Michigan again Dallas defense gets bailed out by by stick because for the second play in a row his manil was open that's kind of been a reoccurring theme tonight whether the Chargers have been getting open and dropping the ball or the guys been getting open and sticks just been overthrowing them that was another instance of him overthrowing but there are some gaps in the secondary today that we've seen something that the Cowboys need to sh up with this second unit Cowboys at safety have Mars Bell and Julius wood they started the game W Thomas not playing he had a groin injury earlier in the week in practice and there's a completion to Cornelius Johnson and Julius wood lays the lumber so with 21 seconds left first down at the 35 yd line coming up at the half got St stats and Analysis Kyle yolman will be joined by Nick eatman and we'll hear what Mike McCarthy had to say at halftime as well Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers owning a touchdown lead right now with an opportunity to add to it here in the final seconds of the first half Cowboys with those veterans at defensive end Carl Lawson and Al quaden Muhammad who were both acquired after training camp started well mlay and The Scouting staff been very busy in the Cowboys making moves to improve this roster even since they reported to Oxnard stick going deep right side whyde or it's Brendan rice with Josh Butler all over [Applause] him Josh Butler's had a nice Camp too that was almost an amazing catch by Mr rice goes up there snags it on he gets oh oh he drops it had he retained that thing I think he might have got a knee down maybe it would have been replay he's the eligible he's the son of Jerry Rice but that would have been a play Michael Irving would have been proud oh okay all right physical Receiver Michael Irvin 35 yd line it's Johnson knocked out of bounds got 11 seconds left here again situational football as a defensive back back CU third down they're in field goal range so what you know they're going to try to do is take a shot here 11 seconds most plays take anywhere from 5 to 7 seconds if I'm the Chargers right now I'm taking a shot down the field so you want to see your safeties get back a little bit and you want to see your defensive backs back up a little bit as well your Corners throws that into the stands basically with 7 seconds left that play to take five to Second seconds that play took 4 seconds cuz he he pretty much caught in through it now you're going to have a field goal opportunity here most likely and the Cowboys will have an opportunity for at least a attempt at a kickoff return we'll see hopefully we see a dynamic kickoff return that'd be nice to go to the half with Bill it would be Cameron Dicker is on you're you're sound confident Cameron Dicker is going to make this 48 yd field goal well he had been very consistent in his career much like Brandon Aubrey for the Cowboys he had a big year last year and he sends it right down the middle to add three for the Chargers and make it a 20-1 lead for La which is 3 seconds left having a good kicker is a great asset to have yeah great weapon how about we take a listen to uh what some of the players use their signing bonuses on you know not a new car I know had they get the transmission rebuilt when you get seventh round draft money get the transmission rebuilt a little bit more realistic round money you get a good car oh man I love how real that is that's good that's good footage right there let's see if we can get a dynamic kickoff return here got Malik Davis back there who else is over there is that Snoop Connor well this is where you would kick it out of the end zone right Cameron Dicker sending it uh out of The End Zone come on it's the preseason let's see some returns it's a Hardball special teams Guy come on and so the Cowboys with 3 seconds left will take over at the 30 yd line a big play first half from the Chargers and Tre Lance Engineers the touchdown drive to cut the gap down now Bill do you want to see how well Trey Lance takes a knee or do you want to see how far he throws the ball that's what I want to know Bill oh I think we're going to see Victory formation come on trailing by 10 but it's victory formation to end the half so there you go that does it for the first half here that's I know a lot of people have their eyes peeled on him right now and every single game he's just being progressively making better decisions getting the ball out of his hand you see him there standing firm in the and he's doing the best he can with him that's the thing you're seeing his growth right in front of your eyes regardless of where you're drafted this dude hasn't played a lot of ball but guess what he's getting more reps in this pre preseason than he's gotten in his entire NFL career Chargers returning the second half kickoff that's Jaylen Gil and let's go down to the sideline and Kyle yans Kyle yeah thanks guys pretty good clean report from the first half from this Cowboys coaching staff no injuries to report at this moment and the number one thing they want to see going into the second half is better consistency on the offensive line there was some frustration in the early parts of that second quarter tril l didn't have a ton of time to throw but once they started playing more consistent up front he had time to deliver the football and it led to that touchdown Drive Tre Lance very encouraging with his offensive line and those guys are looking to build on a better second quarter and then into the second half so Easton stick still in there at quarterback for the Chargers Hees our Battle of two North Dakota State quarterbacks continues and there's the Chargers player who is down on the first play of the third quarter it's Tyler mclen out of Campbell University that does not look good Bill I'm not going to look at that any longer I think Damen Wilson ended up coming in on his legs accidentally just hope that he's okay vami foko you see him right there on your screen he's somebody who needs to continue to try to find some plays tonight and lot of opportunities ahead here in the second half back in a moment from behind that's where he first made his Mark and what a career he had with the Cowboys uh Tyler mclen was carded off the offensive tackle for the Chargers the rookie out of Campbell University thoughts are with him as he uh leaves with an injury and uh Chargers on offense now at the 49 yd line after the big KCK pickup there yeah one thing you have to keep your eye on this half is can this defensive line or the Dallas Cowboys that's in the game here in the second half get some pressure not much up the middle Elijah doson the ball carrier out of Sacramento State fell is holding their forth down there in the middle B at the seventh round draft pick Justin Rogers 96 in there got Albert Huggins as well who was one of those veteran players who was signed after training camp started out of Clemson 6234 in Dax 6335 and Huggins stick with time to throw Elijah doson it's away from Eric Scott brought down Daven Wilson in on the stop Damen Wilson 45 is another linebacker that's been showing up in Camp as well who just hasn't had the opportunities in the preseason game to show what we all saw in practice but best believe for those that are at home watching 45 is a playmaker he's another one of those guys that may or may not fall victim to these cut downs but he's going to go out there every time he touches that field you can show up he's going to show up and make some plays of course it was originally a fourth round draft pick of the Cowboys was out of football for a year now making a comeback and making an impression with the Cowboys offense 66 5yd penalty Third Down Danny short is uh serving as the referee he's the down judge once again the NFL in this third preseason game uh using it as a practice in case of an emergency situation where an official and the regular seven-man crew goes down and so that's why the referee Craig rolad is Ste to the side to start the second half here and Danny short getting reps as the referee here next man up works for the referees too that's exactly right Stick Over the middle Cornelius Johnson has a first down Cowboys might get bailed out once again here offside defense 92 penalty declin first down they did not get bail out little hard count up there by stick at the line of scrimmage he just got a little bit too happy at both ends really big Play Over the middle again again we've been talking about how the middle of the Field's been open the secondary has given up some opportunities they haven't necessarily taken advantage of those opportunities but they did there and there's an opportunity right there and for the second time this preseason the undrafted rookie out of East Carolina Julius wood has the interception yeah Julius wood was right there they always say tips and overthrows Bill you got to get those and Julius wood has no problem with finding the Rock and taking full advantage a guy Isaiah standback spotted on the practice field in ox the first week
