00:00The featured back in this third
00:01quarter for the Saints and
00:02overall this charge of defense
00:04has been excellent minus that one
00:06play on that quick double go.
00:12Jesse Minter has to be pleased
00:13with his unit's overall
00:15performance second year
00:16defensive coordinator he said a
00:17lot of similar things to what
00:19Greg Roman told us about the
00:20difference of year two versus
00:21year one about install just being
00:25light years ahead and having a
00:27lot more film on what other
00:29teams like to do to them quick
00:31throw to the outside and there's
00:32the speed from Bayless Jones jr.
00:35He's a hybrid between a running
00:37back and a wide receiver he picks
00:38up 13 on the catch and run.
00:43Bonnie Johnson makes the tackle
00:45Jones will go to the sideline.
00:49Let's check out that.
00:53The speed here on the outside is
00:55one quick move and then the
00:57acceleration up the field.
00:59first team all SEC in 2021 Chuck
01:05across his body and incomplete.
01:07That was a tough one with pressure
01:09in his face looking for Mason
01:11Tipton.
01:14And in talking to Minter about the
01:17difference between last year and
01:18this year.
01:18Remember the Chargers gave up the
01:20fewest points in the whole NFL
01:22NFL with one year of their system and
01:26so each year you build on it becomes
01:28exponential.
01:29The type of blitzes you want to use
01:31the type of personnel you want to use.
01:32I can just see the Chargers
01:34defensively when they get rolling
01:36this year this season that defense is
01:39going to be dynamite and they're
01:40really looking forward to what the
01:41defensive front is going to provide
01:42them.
01:43Tierra Tartt obviously not playing
01:44today as Shuck looks to throw on
01:47second and ten and he's in trouble
01:49he goes down there's a big part of
01:51that new front for the Chargers to
01:53Maury Caldwell the rookie from
01:56Oregon.
01:56big number ninety nine right up the
02:04middle here he comes fighting at the
02:06offensive line Chuck holding the
02:08ball way too long these guys were
02:11teammates at the University of
02:13Oregon how do you do we asked Jim
02:18Harbaugh about Jamari Caldwell and
02:22he said you keep watching the tape
02:24for this guy Jordan Birch who was an
02:27outstanding player went very high
02:29in the draft but you kept seeing
02:31Caldwell instead on that up front
02:33of line in the middle just making
02:35play after play that's not going to
02:37get back to the original line of
02:39scrimmage for Jones and it will be
02:41fourth down for the Saints that he
02:43was double teamed it didn't matter
02:44he swallowed up and he still found
02:46a way to make an impact well and
02:48he didn't give up on that play you
02:49could see he was kind of stymied at
02:51the line of scrimmage to begin with
02:52the game but his drive to the
02:54quarterback really paid off there's
02:57a lot of man there too at 6 1 3
03:00hundred and 40 pounds hope he's
03:02OK looks like he's a little shaken
03:06up pointing towards his arm after
03:09that last play as Luke Grimm is
03:10back to receive this punt it's
03:15going to be burn it back out there
03:17to send a deep and the fair catch
03:22called for and made just in front
03:26of the twenty three yard line while
03:31the best seats at the lowest prices
03:32access to exclusive members only
03:34events merchandise discounts and
03:36more there's a Chargers dot com
03:37slash tickets and become a Chargers
03:40season ticket member today so the
03:4438 yard punt as this drive starting
03:46officially from the 24 yard line
03:48they're still looking at called
03:49attention the size and that's really
03:51the big key for all of this defensive
03:53line for L.A. this year Caldwell 6 1 3 40
03:57tier tart 6 2 3 15 Tito Obonia 6 4 3 20
04:01Deshaun hand over 300 yards Naquan Jones at
04:053 13 Jesse Minner said sometimes you can't
04:08even remember which ones are out there
04:09because they're all so dominant and
04:11so big talk about big and dominant
04:13rocket Sanders showing off that size
04:15and then the shiftiness as he gained
04:1714 you know the Philadelphia Eagles
04:21really showed the blueprint as far as
04:24how do you beat the Kansas City
04:25Chiefs yeah and that's the Chargers
04:27first opponent to start the regular
04:29season size Philly was so big so
04:33dominant on both sides of the ball
04:35offensive line defensive line and
04:38that's obviously a copycat league that
04:40we're in Chargers are trying to
04:42follow that blueprint on the toss
04:45Sanders gets a block Jimmy shake
04:49keeps it moving got dragged forward
04:52by Saints defenders all the way up to
04:54the 43 yard line six more on the
04:56ground that was an impressive run
04:58because he really didn't have much
05:00going wide decided to cut back up the
05:03middle and use that power and the
05:05help of a couple of Saints to pick up
05:07the ball that was six yards or Heinz
05:09will run out there this time the
05:12Brennan Rice or on a Gatson getting
05:14the extended run along with Trey
05:15Lance those two have had a
05:17connection already a couple of
05:18times today second down and five
05:23Lance swings it nobody home
05:25miscommunication as he put it in
05:27the general direction of Dale von
05:28Campbell did he hit his finger on a
05:34helmet or a hand so he's a
05:37nightmare for a quarterback on the
05:39follow through take a look watch
05:43that hand as he lets go to the
05:45ball looked like yeah on the hand
05:50he grabbed his hand after he
05:52threw the ball sure where did you see
05:56contact it looked like maybe Isaiah
05:57stalbert's hand hand-to-hand contact
06:00obviously a lot better than the
06:02helmet but you just never want to
06:05see it on that throwing side they're
06:07down at five Lance going to tuck it
06:09Lance going to have to get there and
06:10he does he has done it with his
06:14legs all day needed five get six to
06:17keep the drive going boy that's
06:20really heads up because he could
06:22see where the down marker is and
06:24as he starts to run he knows what
06:27he needs and right here he dives
06:29for it sells out and gets it under
06:35two minutes to play in this third
06:36quarter we expected to see Lance
06:39for the majority of this game at
06:40quarterback for the Chargers
06:41that's been the case at some point
06:43DJ who younger LA is going to get
06:45an opportunity to play Stevo Klotz in
06:50the game for the Chargers as is
06:51Miller Hines he gets slowed down in
06:53the backfield tried to get away and
06:55ended up losing more yardage nice
06:58play by Fadil Diggs on the pursuit
07:01to lose four as DJ we only had to
07:07change his number this week by the
07:09way we're 13 last week in the
07:11Hall of Fame game and then the guy
07:12who made that number pretty famous
07:14here in L.A. with the Chargers
07:15decided yeah I think I'm gonna
07:16come back well the rumors were
07:18there that Keenan was coming back
07:19and at practice the fans that
07:22were at practice notice that DJ
07:24here is wearing number seven and
07:27they all said all right that 13 is
07:29coming back and it's Keenan Allen
07:31context clues are important
07:34everybody turned into Sherlock
07:35Holmes really quick on the slant
07:37nice catch and Campbell sure
07:39handed to get it inside New
07:41New Orleans territory on seven
07:42yard game Campbell's really got
07:46some nice size for a wide
07:47receiver at six four two hundred
07:50and twenty pounds at that
07:53miscommunication earlier on the
07:55drive at that time Lance on
07:58target Campbell with a catch third
08:03down in seven what could be the
08:05final play of this third quarter
08:07and it's now five of eleven thirty
08:15seven yards looking for another
08:16one he's gonna tuck it up the
08:17middle of this time he won't get
08:19there the Saints were ready for
08:21the run from Lance Stalbert goes
08:23down low games to set up fourth
08:26down and bring us to the fourth
08:28quarter Chargers get a pick six
08:33on a big-time play by Eric Rogers to
08:35go up two scores Rogers goes 44 then
08:39Chuck comes back on a deep ball to
08:41get it back to within a touchdown
08:43it's 17 to 10 after three as we head
08:46to the fourth at SoFi
08:51they've got four games for the two
08:53teams along with the Lions up playing
08:54in the Hall of Fame game last week
08:57getting ready for week one in San
09:00Paolo Brazil
09:04so another punt for Scott Jane Price
09:07will be back deep this time around
09:09for New Orleans
09:12chance to pin New Orleans deep
09:17high kick
09:19let it fly and this is as perfect as
09:23it can get
09:24inside the five gets that additional
09:26roll to the floor
09:28perfectly done by J.K. Scott
09:30just got an extension
09:34forty two yard punts
09:37first five games of this season for
09:39the Chargers Kansas City in
09:41Brazil September 5th and home
09:46make it on the road in Vegas
09:48against the Raiders home for
09:49Denver and they go to the Giants
09:52and home for the Commanders those
09:53are five really challenging games
09:56right off the rip for this team
09:57and a lot of travel a lot of miles
09:59there the benefit after the game in
10:02Brazil is the Chargers play on a
10:05Monday night in Vegas so they get an
10:07extra day off that game in Brazil
10:09is on a Friday
10:10play action from Chuck
10:13on the misdirection he does have a
10:15completion to get a little bit more
10:17breathing room
10:17the rookie tight M Aliki Monoval from
10:20UCLA
10:22six yard game
10:23you know the benefit that the
10:24Chargers have special teams wise
10:27you know this time of year teams
10:29bring in six or seven kickers
10:30putters
10:32long snappers
10:33Chargers don't have to bring in
10:34anybody
10:36long snapper Josh Harris
10:37excellent
10:38of course we know about Cameron
10:40Dicker
10:40J.K. Scott always done today
10:43is punt the ball six times
10:45that last one of beauty
10:47second down in four after the
10:49completion
10:51Chargers bring four
10:52Chuck pulls it down
10:54now he's looking to get away
10:55couple of pumps throws
10:56and he's got it
10:59complete to Dante Pettis to move the
11:01stick 16 yards through the air
11:04at first it was close he was going
11:05to get sacked in the end zone for
11:07safety and then it looked like he
11:09may be over the line of scrimmage
11:11when he let that one go but
11:13he knew exactly where he was on the
11:14field and throws a dime on the
11:17sideline
11:19we've seen the good and the bad
11:20from Chuck but he's had a couple
11:22of sparkling moments so far now
11:24fourteen of twenty hundred sixty
11:26five yards the touchdown and the
11:28pick six
11:31play action on first down
11:32Chuck
11:34will run
11:35and slide down just shy of the 30
11:37three yards on the ground that
11:40time nice pursuit by Amani Johnson
11:43to keep him from gaining more
11:44now we talked about the game reps
11:49for Trey Lance it's a little
11:51different from somebody like Chuck
11:52who by the way is also 25 years
11:54old think about the difference
11:56between the two of them Chuck a
11:57rookie second round pick and Trey
12:00Lance who's only 25 years old
12:01himself in his fifth year in the
12:03NFL and yet the experience level
12:06is vastly different in terms of
12:07total starts with Chuck you
12:08mentioned three different schools
12:10and a starter at the majority of
12:12his time at two of the three of
12:15them
12:16so we get to the outside and a
12:17nice move made by Bayless Jones
12:19we've seen the shiftiness and
12:20speed but it just gets back to the
12:22line of scrimmage and it's third
12:23and long
12:26Chuck was at Oregon with Justin
12:29Herbert for a brief time that's
12:31hard to fathom for a guy who's in a
12:33sixth year and a guy who's a rookie
12:35to have been at college at the same
12:38time the math isn't mapping if you
12:40really think about it I didn't know
12:42there'd be math today no we do words
12:44for a living Dan
12:44third and seven
12:47Chuck with time steps into it
12:55incomplete beautiful play made as
12:58Mason Tipton was the intended
13:00receiver and Eric Rogers is having
13:02himself a day he has seen the
13:04football perfectly from that
13:05cornerback spot
13:06yeah he was beat earlier on that
13:10hook and go route but he has taken
13:12one of these back to the house for a
13:15touchdown that time did not buy the
13:19route at all was right there knocked
13:21the ball out with his right hand
13:22without interfering with the
13:25receiver so Kai Kroger will come
13:28back on to boot this one away on
13:31fourth down and seven Luke Grimm
13:37back to return it for the
13:39Chargers when he gets under it no
13:42fair catch called he's going to try
13:43to return and he gets tripped up from
13:46behind that's a nice play made down
13:49the field as Grimm only got a couple
13:52yards back 48 yard punt seven yard
13:54return Davison made the tackle
14:01twelve minutes to play here in so
14:03five stadium seven point charger
14:04leaders we check in with Jamie
14:05Macchio well no this is a special
14:07game today because it's the first
14:09responders game this is the
14:10Chargers first home game since those
14:12devastating fires back in January that
14:15ravaged Los Angeles they're honoring
14:17and celebrating first responders
14:19throughout the game and they
14:20actually brought out honorary captains
14:22for the coin toss football coaches and
14:24players from both Palisades Charter
14:25High School in the Palisades and John
14:27Muir High School in Pasadena in the
14:30immediate aftermath the Chargers
14:31actually donated $50,000 to each
14:33program to help them rebuild but with
14:35the guys here today I spoke to corner
14:37back from Pally High Max Gaylor he said
14:39this is his first game at SoFi
14:41Stadium so really cool experience for
14:44them all around yeah Jamie really
14:46awesome to see what the Chargers have
14:48done and to have them out on the
14:50field celebrated the way that they
14:52deserve to be celebrated for
14:53everything that they've gone through
14:54as Hassan Haskins just gained 12
14:57yards the Chargers now 24 rushes for
15:00111 yards a 4.3 average and the
15:03touchdown from Lance on the ground
15:04who stays in there in this fourth
15:07quarter series another handoff up the
15:14middle and Haskins this time is
15:15dumped after a short gain of one
15:17maybe two and in the aftermath of the
15:20devastating wildfires this past
15:21January the Chargers impact fund has
15:23worked to help provide a long-term
15:25path to recovery for the communities
15:27most impacted particularly Altadena and
15:30the Palisades the organization's
15:32efforts have been specifically focused
15:34on supporting youth in the affected
15:36communities by building back their
15:38educational and school resources
15:39including area football programs and
15:41to donate to these efforts text
15:43rally for L.A. to four six three two
15:46five two two seven zero zero
15:51second down and eight Lance under
15:53pressure doesn't matter put it right
15:55on the money for Brendan Royce and a
15:57first down catch and run that's what
16:01you want to see out of your passing
16:02game a quick decision by the
16:04quarterback sharp deep enough
16:06route by the receiver timing is
16:09absolutely perfect here the ball
16:12placement is just what you want
16:15throw it to the body of the
16:16receiver when he's coming to the
16:18inside like that don't throw it
16:20higher might be tipped off his
16:21hands and picked off perfect throw
16:23that time by Lance could be the
16:27final series of the day for Trey
16:28Lance price the motion man on first
16:32down rocket Sanders on the give
16:37and not much room to work with
16:39their games a yard and a half so
16:44the Chargers have done a good job
16:45of spreading the wealth in that
16:46backfield as we expected to see
16:48throughout the day from money
16:50Vidal got the bulk of the carries
16:53early along with Nike Miller
16:54Hines and now Hassan Haskins and
16:56Rocket Sanders have split a lot of
16:58the second half we have not seen
16:59Amari on Hampton today which was
17:01mostly expected played just a
17:03couple of downs in the Hall of
17:05Fame game had two carries for nine
17:07yards Sanders trying to make a
17:10name for himself whether it be
17:11here or around the NFL he's had a
17:14couple of nice plays today the
17:16one on target from Lance on the
17:18slant quick catch from Dale Vaughn
17:21Campbell being six you can see the
17:24improvement of Trey Lance with a
17:26delivery again getting it out
17:29quickly not a big loopy delivery
17:31he's really short that up and it
17:34the result is better ball
17:36placement easier to catch for the
17:38receiver and Greg Roman was also
17:40really pleased with how much he's
17:41improved his footwork feels like
17:43that's been a big deal for him
17:44that's where it all starts
17:47Greg Roman Trey Lance says that
17:52every time they go through a play
17:53he finds a way to have a story
17:55about it Lance will keep it this
17:57time and just surge for he's got
17:59enough for the first down that's
18:01what Lance's head every time they
18:03talk about something they'll bring
18:04up a play and Greg Roman will say
18:05you know not to toot my own horn
18:07but I will say this time when I
18:09call this this and this this
18:10happened but he loves it he loves
18:12studying football them really
18:14learning about a lot of option
18:16plays that they can install in and
18:18at the same time Greg Roman's been
18:19honest with us he said he's
18:20trying to learn how to call a
18:21game properly for Trey Lance he's
18:23really now understood how to call
18:24one for Justin Herbert it's about
18:26learning on the fly with Lance
18:28getting these game reps well we
18:29just saw it was an option play he
18:31read the defensive end decided
18:33the defensive end was taking the
18:35back he kept the ball picked up
18:36for the first down there's a play
18:38action bootleg Lance on the run
18:40incomplete put it in a spot that
18:44Campbell could have brought it in
18:45but a tough one at that and a
18:47second down really tight coverage
18:49that time by Jonas Sanker watch
18:53him come over the top and knock
18:54the ball away that's perfect
18:57defense right there by Sanker
19:01midway through this fourth
19:02quarter charges looking to pad
19:04this seven point cushion
19:06already right in Dicker's field
19:08goal range as is would be about a
19:10fifty one yard from right here
19:12trying to get further than that and
19:17find Pater for the second time as
19:18an offense today and up up the
19:20middle and a nice hole for Hassan
19:22Haskins he's had a couple that he's
19:25busted loose this one goes for eleven
19:27and bring up a fresh head of down for
19:30the charges offense and a couple of
19:31nice moves there as he's going
19:34through the line of scrimmage to
19:35actually jump to the left and back
19:37to the right and then the
19:39acceleration impressive run that
19:42time by Haskins so Haskins
19:46continues to impress course played
19:48for Jim Harbaugh at Michigan so
19:50familiarity with his head coach was
19:52a fourth round pick in twenty
19:53twenty two from the Titans spent
19:56two years there before last season
19:57scoring two touchdowns for the
19:59the Chargers fifth rush of the day
20:02of at least ten yards for L.A. and
20:03they're looking for more on the
20:04ground pounding it up the middle
20:06inside the red zone of the ninety
20:09the benefit of this type of drive
20:11obviously in a preseason is you
20:13want to get through the game
20:14without any injury so one way you
20:16do that shorten the game you
20:18shorten the game by running the
20:19ball and that's what has been
20:22most important here on this drive
20:25an accurate passing by Trey Lance
20:29and while Lance's numbers weren't
20:31eye-popping gaudy numbers last
20:33week necessarily it was the way he
20:36moved the team that stuck out to
20:37his coaching staff and it's what
20:38he's done for the majority of the
20:40time that he's been under center
20:41so far today he's moved the team
20:43effectively including that
20:45touchdown drive in the second
20:46quarter another handoff this time
20:48Sanders but not much room to work
20:50with gets a yard to the 18
20:52so third down about seven with the
21:00clock ticking down to six minutes
21:02to play it really wouldn't
21:03surprise me if they keep the ball
21:04on the ground to take more time
21:06off the clock and get Dicker to
21:08come out and kick a field goal
21:10and really ice this one because I
21:12don't see the Saints coming back
21:14against the way the Chargers
21:15defense has played this afternoon
21:18out of the game for the game
21:20Jim Harbaugh one of his biggest
21:24priorities for today stay healthy
21:29as he likes to say play good
21:32and we're gonna take the timeout
21:34just before charge time clock is
21:36going to expire Los Angeles so
21:40536 remaining it's a thirty second
21:42timeout keeps them with two timeouts
21:45left and a third and six upcoming
21:47for Trey Lance a chance to really
21:50do some damage if they can pick up
21:52these six yards and drain this
21:55clock about as low as they can get
21:57it from the rolling remaining
21:58three timeouts and a two minute
21:59point we'll see what type of call
22:02they come up with it's also the
22:04first time Trey Lance told us that
22:05he's had a play caller upstairs
22:07Greg Roman up in the box as opposed
22:10to down on the field he said that's
22:11a little different just in terms of
22:12the communication that you're gonna
22:13get especially in these types of
22:14situations that's where a timeout
22:16can certainly help well it with
22:18the communication now and the
22:19helmets and everything that's
22:21where they where the issue comes
22:23in it's a little bit cleaner at
22:26times when the coach is down on
22:27the sideline here we go third and
22:30six eleven play of the drive
22:32that's already spanned six and a
22:33half minutes over a hundred total
22:38yards in the touchdown for Lance
22:40looking to convert here feels the
22:41pressure pressure and he goes down
22:45couldn't get away this time as he
22:47got converged and now a lineman
22:50down for the Chargers on top of
22:52it looked like wrong place at the
22:56wrong time first of all it's a it's
23:06the poor snap that kind of threw the
23:08timing off with the Lance and
23:11then there's that one player
23:14falling on a teammate that appears
23:18to be the injury here Carson
23:19Barnhart looked like it was the
23:21friendly fire meanwhile Chris
23:22Rums the former charger was the
23:24one who got into the backfield
23:25for the third Saints sack of the
23:27afternoon we'll check in on
23:29Barnhart when we come back
23:30the Chargers up seven well the
23:36good news you just saw Carson
23:37Barnhart enter the blue tent did
23:40walk off completely on his own
23:42power here is the injury you see a
23:44combination Lance goes on one side
23:48because he got knocked down by
23:50Colton Berger the center the two of
23:55them collide on the back of
23:56Barnhart's leg but again walked off
23:58on his own power now the Chargers
24:01come out with a field goal unit
24:03Cameron Dicker looking at his
24:05second field goal of the day got
24:07the scoring started for L.A. and
24:09this one's going to be about a 40
24:10yarder
24:15Dicker so effective last season 39 of
24:1942 made 20 of 23 from 40 plus
24:26and this one is true puts the
24:32Chargers up by 10 with under five
24:34to play such a luxury Dan
24:42mentioned no competition at the
24:44kicker position no competition at
24:46punter at long snapper is all
24:51reliable to throw eleven out
24:53there and expect points on the
24:54board this week's big crunch is
24:55sponsored by Carl's jr that
24:57Carl's jr's new queso crunch combo
25:00with fries and frozen drinks for
25:02just 999 now that's hot this was in
25:05the first quarter on fourth and
25:07goal and Troy died who's expected
25:09to be a big part of the linebacking
25:11core this year for the Chargers
25:13comes up big it was a big surprise
25:15last year and building upon that
25:18that was a obviously a fourth down and
25:20goal a huge play for die coming off
25:24the edge on a blitz and drop in the
25:26back before you get started the
25:30Chargers cap off their 12th play
25:3248 yard drive with a 40 year old
25:3540 yard field goal would be weirder
25:38if it was 40 years old on a field
25:40goal but the 40 yarder from Cameron
25:42Dicker it was seven minutes and 10
25:44seconds off the clock which is the
25:45longest drive of the game and now
25:47lead 20 to 10 as this one will
25:52sail into the end zone touchback
25:53will bring it to the 35 so a chance
25:58for the New Orleans offense again
25:59this is a quarterback competition
26:00we've seen the first two and now
26:02we're going to see the third Jake
26:03Hayner will head out there with
26:05450 to play in the fourth quarter
26:07and a chance to try to drag his
26:09team back into this game they've got
26:10all three timeouts and the two
26:12minute warning if they can find a
26:13way to get down the field before
26:15that two minute warning they're
26:16still very much in position in this
26:17game to kick it off and try to get
26:19a stop and the defense you're
26:21going to be going against has five
26:23sacks on the day one a strip sack
26:25seven tackles for a loss a pick
26:28six and a stop that we just showed
26:30you at the one yard line by Troy
26:32Dye is that good that's how good
26:34this charger defense has been
26:36Marcus yarns the running back quick
26:38throw from Hayner quick catch and
26:39run the acceleration in the
26:41Chargers territory Kevin Austin
26:43junior as we check in with Jamie
26:45all right thanks guys I saw you
26:47talking to the lineman right there
26:48they're not going to come over here
26:49and bop around during this
26:50interview are they okay I mean
26:52ain't no telling with them guys
26:53just just a bunch of you know big
26:55guys full of energy so I'd be
26:57trying to be careful speaking of
26:58big guys and energy Derwin James
27:00said that he thought this would be
27:01an all-pro season for you what do
27:02you think about that I mean it's a
27:04blessing and an honor to even have
27:06like a teammate of such high
27:07caliber give me a shout out like
27:09that and I just want to live up to
27:10my standard and by doing that I'll
27:12try to raise the bar and reach his
27:13for me third year here are you
27:16looking to take on more of a
27:17leadership role join Derwin James
27:19Khalil Mack I definitely am I think
27:21I approached this offseason knowing
27:23that I wanted to be somebody that
27:25the team depended on and be one of
27:27those guys that in the clutch
27:28moments even if it's not clutch that
27:30they can call on me and that means
27:31being a leader being a captain and I
27:32think that I'm taking the steps to do
27:34that that's what I'm going for what
27:35steps are you doing I mean just being
27:37more alive being more attentive to not
27:40just my details but to the whole core
27:42the whole 11 that's on the field and
27:44even the guys on the sideline just
27:45trying to let everybody know what we
27:47need to get done to be where we want
27:48to be at the end of the season your
27:49second year with Jesse Minter as your
27:52defensive coordinator is it helped to
27:54have some sort of chemistry do you feel
27:55like you can have more ownership of the
27:57defense oh for sure I walked in the
27:59door of way ahead of where I was last
28:02year obviously but just being able to
28:04have a guy who knows so much about the
28:06game and then being able to have him
28:08help me study his defense even more I'm
28:10way ahead of where I was and then I
28:12have coaches like Navarro Bowman in a
28:15room and then just that tandem right
28:17there between the two of them talking
28:19to them about the defense it just makes
28:20me that much better you've got the
28:22green dot on your on your helmet this
28:23year how does that change things for
28:24you I mean it's it was pretty it's
28:27been a pretty smooth transition from this
28:29year to last year or last year to this
28:30year because I started off with the
28:32green dot and then it was like in and
28:34out of it oh my thanks they are get
28:37another pick that's oh that's number
28:40two I should go run but I feel like
28:43that's illegal but yeah and there he
28:46goes Deion Henley Deion Henley nose
28:49ball Eric Rogers with a second pick of
28:51the day the first one went for six and
28:53this one seals the victory for the
28:56Chargers another great job of tracking
29:00the football Hainer put it up and Rogers
29:03pulled it down bolts up 10
29:04final stages of this second preseason
29:11game for the Chargers and recently the
29:13Chargers boarded the USS Abraham Lincoln
29:15for a team walkthrough as part of the
29:17organization's decades-long support of
29:20the United States military atop the
29:22flight deck of the Nimitz class aircraft
29:25carrier the Bolts got a chance to meet
29:27and mingle with more than 300 sailors
29:29head coach Jim Harbaugh Chargers owner
29:31Dean Spanos presented captain keeler
29:34with a USS Lincoln jersey and signed 72
29:37helmet the carrier's whole number cbn 72
29:41see Dean Spanos here watching his team
29:45on the brink of cruising to a 2-0 start
29:47the preseason this year great to see him
29:53and the Spanos family they poured so
29:56much into this team and they have
29:58truly allowed Jim Harbaugh and Joe
30:01Hortiz to take control of the reigns
30:03these last two years and build the
30:06culture that they envisioned DJ we
30:08uncle away in the game with under four
30:10minutes to play in this fourth
30:12quarter we expected to see him just a
30:15bit and so here is the rookie undrafted
30:18out of Florida State another one
30:19who's played at three different
30:21colleges yeah Clemson Oregon State
30:24and Florida State and now trying to
30:28make the job get the job here as the
30:32backup backup maybe even backup
30:34before they wouldn't yes that's
30:36incorrect I just was shocked that
30:38you didn't say you know his brother
30:40Mateo is a great player at the
30:42University of Oregon that's five
30:45five under three to play hand up up
30:50the middle rocket Sanders and he
30:52disappears at the 40 yard line it's
30:55such an interesting story with DJ
30:56we only lay he was so highly touted
31:00coming out of high school from this
31:01area in Southern California he was
31:03the number one quarterback recruit
31:04goes to Clemson as a five star his
31:06first couple starts he plays
31:08exceptionally well in fact still led
31:10the team to a couple double digit win
31:13seasons as a starter but got benched in
31:14the 2022 ACC championship game in
31:16favor of Kate Klubnik who's still the
31:18starting quarterback at Clemson goes to
31:20Oregon State leads them to at one point a
31:22top ten ranking in the country and then
31:25goes to Florida State last year and it
31:27did not go according to plan after the
31:29Seminoles had an undefeated regular
31:30season in 2023 he's gonna dial up a deep
31:33ball here down the sideline he's got it
31:35perfectly plays for Dale Vaughn
31:38Campbell over the top of the double
31:40coverage and Campbell says I'll take
31:42that on a 51 yard gain
31:45what a way to go into the two-minute
31:51warning it's rookie to rookie on a rip
31:57on a rip what a beautiful deep ball from
32:03DJ who we uncle a 24 year old rookie
32:07getting his moment to shine late in this
32:09fourth floor he played a little bit
32:10last week on Thursday in the Hall of
32:12Fame game as well against Detroit and
32:15trying to prove whether it be here or
32:17around the league that he is ready for
32:19this next level as someone who is as
32:21highly touted as they come out of high
32:23school and if the measurables speak
32:25for themselves six foot four two
32:27hundred fifty two pounds he always
32:29had ability with his legs but his
32:31arm was a rocket through a ninety
32:33five mile an hour fastball in high
32:34school was drafted in the 20th
32:36round of the MLB draft a couple
32:38years back by the Dodgers and
32:40showing off that arm strength on
32:41that last one going all the way
32:43down the field to set up first
32:44down inside the red zone through
32:47that ball about sixty five yards
32:49in the air was a beautiful pass
32:51obviously the lead was great and
32:54the catch perfect let's see what
33:00they decided to do in terms of
33:01play calling with the young to lay
33:02in there rocket Sanders oh look out
33:05rocket Sanders live it up to his
33:07name touchdown chargers it was
33:16liftoff from the backfield to
33:18peter well we talked about his size
33:21and power and we also did mention
33:24that he's got a burst obviously must
33:26have a burst if his nickname is the
33:29rocket here it is right here sees the
33:32corner of the end zone and it's not
33:34going to be denied great vision good
33:39sharp cut there and then the speed to
33:41get in the end zone so dicker will come
33:46on after the 11 yard touchdown
33:50Sanders now with 10 carries 42 yards
33:52and the score and it's 27 to 10 with a
33:56minute 52 remaining allow for New
33:58Orleans to get one more look at their
34:00offense but rocket Sanders a heck of a
34:02day that's really the entire
34:04Chargers backfield has had we've seen
34:06a couple of impressive runs from us on
34:08Haskins Fidel had some nice looks in
34:11the first half night he Miller Hines
34:13had that one ridiculous cut and now
34:15it's Sanders turn to find that extra
34:18gear that's the hardball way wants
34:21to run the ball he's got a stable
34:24running backs right now competition
34:26is what makes you greater and so
34:29far that's exactly what we're seeing
34:31all those guys you mentioned competition
34:34welcome and that's what we're going
34:35to see throughout the preseason for
34:37this team that's been the calling
34:39card so far for training camp next
34:41week technically a road game despite
34:43it being in this very building at
34:44SoFi Stadium against the Rams and
34:46then finish off in Santa Clara the
34:48site of this year's Super Bowl against
34:51the San Francisco 49ers on the 23rd a
34:54week from Saturday see if the Niners
34:58decide to play some of their starters
35:00they tend to find one of those games
35:02for Kyle Shanahan that he likes to let
35:05those more featured players get out
35:08there and now Dicker will decide what
35:11he wants to do with this kick he will
35:12keep it short of the end zone and
35:15returnable for New Orleans Bayless
35:19Jones showing off his posts and gets
35:23it nearly to midfield finally cracked
35:25down at the 49 yard line a 47 yard
35:27return as he's really impressed and
35:30turned some heads it had to be
35:31Dicker who had to get to him to
35:32make sure he didn't score that one
35:34so after what was a defensive slugfest
35:39for the majority of this game
35:40especially in that first half it has
35:42turned into a little bit more of
35:43an explosive back and forth and a
35:45charger is down so they will take the
35:52time on the field and oh boy it's
35:55Eric Rogers who had the pick six
35:57and then the interception on that
35:58last possession having himself an
36:00outstanding day and now very much
36:05slow to get up and you can see the
36:06frustration from Jim Harbaugh his
36:09biggest concern coming into any
36:10preseason game well you know you go
36:13back to when before the touchdown
36:15run the Chargers had the
36:17opportunity to just kneel on the
36:19ball and run the clock out which in
36:22hindsight looked like the better
36:24idea but you want to work players
36:27you want to see what they can do so
36:29they weren't run a couple more
36:31plays and unfortunately that he got
36:34in the end zone now you have a
36:35kickoff and this is a result of
36:37that it's just unfortunate so Jim
36:44Harbaugh will go back to check on
36:45his rookie defensive back the star
36:48of today's show he is still down
36:52they are working towards that
36:54ankle boy he has made two
37:02incredible plays on the defensive
37:04end today the first one on that
37:06pick six to extend the lead and then
37:08on the last possession just read
37:10that loader from Hayner perfectly
37:12to high point it and bring it back
37:14in for charge of possession good
37:16to see him get up on his feet I'll
37:18be helped off the field he's in
37:20real discomfort here but he did
37:24have an outstanding afternoon
37:27here's his first interception
37:29laying out he's six foot two the
37:33catch radius and awareness to find the
37:36end zone and then the second
37:40interception just moments ago
37:42he's going to go
37:49trying to avoid the pressure initially
37:50too much air under that one
37:52Rogers right place right time day on
37:54Henley had to completely abort his
37:56interview with Jamie to run on the
37:58field even though he said I don't
37:59know if this is illegal and yet the
38:02major concern now is whether or not
38:04Rogers is going to be OK for the
38:06rest of camp into the rest of the
38:08preseason he sees really gingerly
38:11struggling so you can look at the
38:16top of your screen see kind of just
38:20gets caught on the turf and twist
38:22that ankle like he was being
38:24blocked in the back yeah at the
38:26time we'll head to the sideline get
38:31some more specific attention there
38:36the minute 43 to play painter
38:41pump just got rid of it that's
38:43an impressive way that a fumble
38:44scooped up then by Pettis meander
38:48his way all of that for a gate of
38:50two Peter taking his time getting
38:57up he's not the biggest guy six
38:59foot one two that might be
39:01generous they get sandwiched in
39:04between lunch to the ground a
39:07lot of weight coming down that
39:09should be a penalty you're not
39:10you're not allowed to take the
39:12quarterback to the ground like
39:13that here's a huge guy laying
39:16right on your chest that is a
39:19definitely a penalty not called
39:23painter appears to be okay on
39:26this run and then slides down
39:28slight contact after the fact
39:29enough for the first down as he
39:30gave seven people in here not
39:34taking any of these timeouts
39:36got three to work with but
39:37rather save them if they can
39:39find a way to get a score now
39:41down 17 points painter step up
39:47roll pump looks like he's passed a
39:50line of scrimmage and he got
39:51rid of it incomplete either way
39:55with 1 0 3 remain R.J. Mickens
40:02meets the play see it right here
40:07Jacob another good play by
40:10Mickens he's had a good
40:11afternoon as well as he has so
40:17second down and 10 with 1 0 3
40:19left with Pedersen motion painter
40:26finds him incomplete through his
40:28hands
40:36third and 10
40:37painter in his third year for
40:38Fresno State fourth round pick
40:40two years ago Rattler started the
40:42game a fifth round pick last year
40:44and Chuck a rookie second round pick
40:47this year use a lot of draft capital
40:50last couple years looking for their
40:52franchise quarterback and these
40:54three in a heated battle for that
40:56starting role this season third down
40:59and 10 painter over the middle makes
41:03the connections going to be short of
41:04the first down Michael Jacobson about
41:06a half yard shy looks like New Orleans
41:12as of right now is leaving their
41:13offense out in the field he will
41:16get his team back to the line taking
41:22their time now are they going to
41:24huddle 0 for 1 on fourth down
41:28today that was in the first
41:29quarter on that denial from Troy
41:31die looks like they'll let this
41:35wind all the way down and maybe take
41:37a timeout this is interesting
41:42strategy we'll take the time out
41:45with 15 seconds remaining first
41:47charge timeout New Orleans for 30
41:50second timeout looks like you're
41:52going to try a field goal why did
41:56it take him all that time to call
41:58the timeout if they're just going
41:59to kick a field goal great
42:01question thank you you know
42:04you know Kellen Moore is the first
42:05year head coach this is also a
42:07preseason game so maybe just give
42:10them a little bit more time
42:13Kellen Moore feeling his way through
42:15a lot of these situations in his
42:17first game as a head coach in the
42:20NFL this will be a 50 yard attempt
42:22and they're going to give it to the
42:24first year pro Charlie Smith from
42:27Northern Ireland NFL international
42:30pathway program player began
42:31training in January of 2024 and
42:34here he is trying a 50 yarder in an
42:36NFL preseason game that's a good
42:38looking stroke gets it to go like
42:43the Irish well they had to because
42:47group he went to Notre Dame and
42:48you've got Charlie Smith you've got
42:49double Irish and with 10 seconds
42:50remaining the Saints get three more
42:54on the board and Kellen Moore all
42:56smiles for his NFL international
42:59pathway program mate so 10 seconds
43:07remaining and after the Hall of Fame
43:11game victory in really more of a
43:14dominant passion a nice follow-up for
43:17Jim Harbaugh on the Chargers
43:19especially on the defensive end in
43:21this game there's no question the
43:23defense was the start of the game
43:26Eric Rogers with the pick six and
43:29just stuffing the Saints at the goal
43:32line so overall all the sacks the
43:36strip sack from the recoveries
43:39Harper's got to be extremely happy
43:41with his defense I would say that
43:43if you could find a dream scenario
43:45for Jim Harbaugh football it would
43:48be these first two games in these
43:50preseason modes where you have
43:53five turnovers force against the
43:54Detroit Lions run the football
43:55effectively your capital is a
43:58capitalizing and opportunistic
44:00within the red zone finding ways
44:02to get into the end zone and
44:04win that game going away here in
44:05this one force a number of
44:07turnovers you get to the
44:08quarterback a ton three turnovers
44:10force a number of sacks you
44:11continue to find ways to get it
44:13done in the red zone defensively
44:14and then opportunistic when the
44:16opportunities presented
44:17themselves offensively they
44:19cashed in with points and
44:21offensively it was Harbaugh
44:23offense running the ball very
44:25effectively with a number of
44:26characters nice squib from Smith
44:29picked up by Vidal and he'll just
44:31slide down shy of the 15 with seven
44:33seconds left and we'll have one
44:36final likely kneel down from D.J.
44:39Uyunglele and this Chargers
44:41offense after that beautiful drive
44:49on the deep ball and eventual
44:51Rocket Sanders touchdown Uyunglele
44:53will cap this one off as the
44:56Chargers are set to move to 2-0
44:59in preseason play here in 2025.
45:02You're two under Jim Harbaugh, GM
45:06Joe Ortiz, offensive coordinator
45:08Greg Roman, defensive coordinator
45:10Jesse Minter and you can just
45:11feel the comfortability and
45:13confidence that this team has
45:14right now.
45:17Uyunglele puts it down and that's
45:19going to do it.
45:22Behind the defense Jim Harbaugh's
45:24Chargers get it done once again a
45:26two touchdown win over the New
45:28Orleans Saints and former
45:30Charger offensive coordinator
45:31Kellen Moore.
45:37Impressive all around Heineke gets
45:39the start Trey Lance gets it done
45:41in relief.
45:42Uyunglele caps it off in style and
45:44the Chargers move to 2-0 in the
45:46preseason.
45:47We'll have final thoughts and some
45:48more on the other side as the
45:50Bulls move to 2-0.
