send it away. We'll see where
he puts it in this landing zone right at the goal line. It will
be returned by Tyler Johnson. Looking to squeeze through
Johnson across the 30 and decent field position to start
for this Rams offense at about 32. Play action pass on first
down. He's got a completion right out of the gate to
Whittington who is the real star of the show in preseason
week one with a number of >> Dan Fouts: High energy
player. >> Noah Eagle: Zach Evans the
back. He's got the handoff on first down. Stutter step move
across midfield and just like that two plays in charge
territory as Daiyan Henley Another handoff on third down
and that will be a first down. Keep the legs churning and
Evans chew them up. no hole for Evans to get
through. Best play so far for the Chargers defense,
back-to-back plays. >> Noah Eagle: First test on 3
and 8. Bennett over the middle. It is hauled in. That is a
tough catch made over the middle by Davis Allen. He was
battling with the safety, AJ >> Noah Eagle: So it will be a
field goal attempt for the rookie, Joshua Karty. And this
one curved just in there, so Karty drills it from about 48
yards out and gets the Rams on interception but Jim Harbaugh
said he approached this week with a different level of
confidence and comfortability. He's got Patterson to start at
running back. Catch made by Davis and he spins away and is
dumped down at the 30 yard line. Players to watch are
brought to you by Paramount Sets up second and 10. Vidal on
the give. Vidal slipping through. It's a big gain.
Smashmouth football, what the Chargers want to do with Greg
Roman and Jim Harbaugh and a running back. This is generally
where Ladd McConkey excels. Looking in that direction,
instead over the middle. Rice couldn't keep it in his grasp.
They're going to call it incomplete. Rams thought maybe
a catch and a fumble. Instead, >> Noah Eagle: This will be a
55-yard field goal attempt. Ryan Fickens said there's we'll
let him do that. Now third and 1. Keeping the
veteran Scott in the backfield. Big play here for this Chargers
defense early. Handoff, Scott didn't get there. Good
penetration by the Chargers D. Wingate. Nice three and out
forced by a Chargers defense that's finding a good rhythm
early today. This one will be returned. Gill busted to the
outside. Gill down the sideline, shimmy shake and
finally brought down towards midfield. A solid return and
better field position for this Chargers offense as they look
to continue on the momentum penalty that extended this
drive. Officially listed at third and two. Really third and
one and a half. Stick keeps it himself. A lot of room to work
with and Stick will sail out of bounds, inside the 35.
>> Dan Fouts: That's the you down in any way, shape or
form. Stick is tough. He's shown that. Smartt, the motion
man on second down. Stick gets rid of it. Over the middle,
it's caught. Stutter step move. Spiller looking to stay on his
feet and he's dragged back at the 6. It's first and goal for
the Chargers. >> Dan Fouts: That's the best
play of the preseason by Easton Here he is on third and goal.
Oh, fumble at the snap. Stick lost it at the line. Who gets
on it first? Rams believe they have it.
>> Dan Fouts: They do. >> Noah Eagle: Indeed they do.
Major mistake from Easton Stick yards. Rams looking for their
third third down conversion of the day on third and 4. Bennett
pumps, fires, wide open, Whittington with space to run.
Across the 30, spun down by Thomas Harper.
>> Dan Fouts: Whittington had a backed up on their own 1 yard
line, the rookie from Texas making another play. Play
action pass, Bennett dials it up. Right there, perfectly
delivered in the seam of the defense to Tyler Johnson.
>> Dan Fouts: Tyler Johnson They will run it. Pressure
comes, Bennett gets rid of it. Nearly picked off. Harper
looked like he had it in his offense.
>> Dan Fouts: That is such a good idea.
>> Noah Eagle: Spoken like a quarterback. Stick will roll
out, first down. Thought about setting the feet. Instead he
evades, slipped a tackle, slides down and picks up one.
So you got the comfort of the >> Dan Fouts: A one-two punch,
Edwards being the bigger back, Dobbins with more speed.
>> Noah Eagle: Third downed and 8, Stick unloads. He's got it.
First down, nice catch by Fehoko, gets up after the fact.
They did whistle it down initially and he gets a couple
of extra to the 41 yard line. get to the line quick and try
to get this play off before anybody can argue and they do.
Stick over the middle, it's tipped and picked. Jalen
McCollough, the rookie out of Bosa, Mack, Dupree. Will it be
an edge rusher here? Play clock down to three. Third down
and four for Bennett. Surveys, lofts. Knocked away. Deane
Leonard again. He's been making plays all over the field and he
forces the three and out. >> Dan Fouts: He knew that the
Rams just needed about four this potential final drive of
the first half. Play action for Stick. Good time. Rifles,
complete Fehoko in stride. >> Noah Eagle: He said leave
Kareem in the dust. Give me three more. Chargers with the
lead, 1:16 to play and they enthralled by your story.
>> Dan Fouts: We doubled the output from last week.
>> Noah Eagle: Steak or spaghetti, is that what it is?
>> Dan Fouts: That's about it. >> Noah Eagle: Another kick,
this time a good hole towards the outside for Stoops. All
right, Dan, we've got about a his opportunity to show what he
can do. Just four days of practice before the first game.
He's now had a full week to prepare. Fiske in motion and
they'll let him throw on first down. He gets it out quick.
SPI Spiral, beautiful ball into the
pocket of Quentin Johnson. >> Noah Eagle: He's playing
great football so far. No turnovers for Bennett after
four interceptions last week. He'll look for a deep one here.
Underthrew it but the adjustment made. Kalinac with
back-to-back catches. will come in for another field
goal attempt, this one from 43 yards out. Sixth round pick
from Stanford. Drills it. All even at 6. 8:30 to play in the
third quarter. Acting head could be a good veteran for
this receiving four. Officially listed at third and 5. Perez
goes down. Ball comes out. Rams have it. The bolt to the QB and
Perez could not escape. Watkins showing blitz. Here they come.
Bennett lofts, end zone area. Oh, it's caught. Coming back to
the ball, Xavier Smith sets up first and goal. And then
hobbles off as he was locked up three receivers here, watch for
pick routes here. >> Noah Eagle: Greg Stoops in
motion. Fourth and goal. Bennett lasers, picked off.
Deane Leonard! The big day for send roses.
>> Noah Eagle: Smells them. >> Dan Fouts: Certainly g
got tattooed that time. >> Noah Eagle: Patterson was
featured in the first game against the Seahawks. Gets rid
of it. Loses yardage. Patterson makes the catch and Speights
with another big-time tackle. semiimpossible third and long.
>> Noah Eagle: Third and 18. Perez lofts. Sideline open.
Johnston made the grab. Was he inbounds?
>> Dan Fouts: Still no signal Khalil Mack going up to him in
practice, he says, I'm going to attack you this way. Here's how
I would recommend you battle against that. He said it's the
first time he's ever had an edge rusher say here's how you
play offensive line against me. you know here? Third and 2.
Handoff, no running room. Scott is stuffed. JT woods got in
there like a bolt. Fourth down looking to showcase his leg.
He's already made two. This one from 52. Not even close.
>> Dan Fouts: He's got to learn Dicker. He is now three for
three today. All nine points does have the interception in
the end zone to Leonard. Play action, Bennett, deep one down
the middle. It's caught. Touchdown, Rams. J.J. Laap got
behind the defense. half. It's been Perez the rest
of the way. Handoff and no real room to work with for Elijah
Dotson as we check in with Jamie.
>> Jamie Maggio: Here with Ladd >> It's been good. Trying to
lock out when we're out there together making sure we're on
the same page, making sure he knows what I'm doing and I know
what he wants. He's been in this league, done it and I'm
trying to learn from him. he talked about his route
running ability. He's going to be a slot receiver primarily
for the Chargers. They also think he can work outside.
>> Noah Eagle: Long punt. It's going to be taken by Smith.
Smith, looking to show off the speed. He stays on his feet.
Down the sideline and dumped out of bounds near midfield.
Thomas Harper gets to him. Nice >> Noah Eagle: I don't X.
>> Dan Fouts: Me neither. >> Noah Eagle: X gonna give it
to you but not going to Tweet it to you. Bennett looking to
escape. He lost the ball! Chargers looked like they
jumped on it. Michael mason was right there when the ball
popped out and the Chargers appear to have it.
>> Dan Fouts: You got to wonder Patterson the back. Perez
uncorks. It's caught. Were the feet down? No. Cornelius
Johnson, impressive individual Seahawks, only 13 points here
with under three to play to the Rams. Right back to Evans. He's
met in the backfield. Tarte. saw Tart make a play.
Somebody's got to make a play here.
>> Noah Eagle: Third down and two. Ball game on the line.
Handoff, Scott. He's got it and then some. There goes Scott
inside the 25. He'll slide down and this ball game is over.
>> Dan Fouts: That is always
