justin watson. >> trent: detroit with five-man pressure man-to-man and i thought it was a good throw. >> bruce: i thought johnson had a chance to come up with it that. would have been a heck of a catch. >> trent: that's what you want griffin to do. he doesn't have any regular season. he recognizes detroit is going to rush five, he's got man-to-man, takes that to the outside, one-on-one and as you said, coach, he put an accurate throw in there. >> greg: griffin looking at a third and five. griffin. hit as he let's go and couldn't make the completion over the middle. that will bring the punting unit on. >> bruce: i like what coach koetter is doing. a lot of teams play scared and be afraid to get this guy hurt. they're putting him in

experiences to audible. throw the football and see what he's got. >> trent: excellent pressure by robinson. detroit bringing the pressure up the middle. nowhere for griffin to step up in the pocket and he had to try dumping that off with a guy around his waist. >> greg: powell around his own 25 yard line and he will pull this one in at the 30 and out across the 35 to about the 37, maybe the 38 yard line. ♪ i like beer! beer!

>> greg: another preseason game tomorrow night on cbs coming your way with new orleans heading to los angeles to take on the chargers. drew brees expected to see some live action for the first time since the saints' playoff run.

take on l.a. and philip rivers. coverage begins 8:00 p.m. eastern time on cbs. >> greg: matt cassel back to work. play fake. looking, and the ball tipped as he let go. falls incomplete. it will be second and 10. >> trent: pressure on the edge by harris. either hits the ball or hits the elbow -- he's able to hit the ball as it is coming out of cassel's hands. lions are fortunate that wasn't intercepted. >> bruce: i like the defensive line he's put together. the defensive line getting their hands up. >> greg: this is kerryon johnsonment johnson with running room. two yards shy of midfield.

we get a flag from the secondary. sfloo craig wrolstad did not give us a number. we think it might be isaiah johnson. the first one. >> trent: that new rule is huge. that's a hard call. >> trent: looked like he was trying to lead with the shoulder. with the contact coming from behind it ends up being a helmet hit. >> greg: johnson to about the

31. let's talk about that helmet rule. the foul that the player lowers his head as craig wrolstad said to initiate contact against an opponent anywhere on his body, 15-yard personal foul. defensive penalty. an automatic first down. a player can be ejected depending on how the referee feels about it. >> bruce: it goes both ways. the running back can't lower his head either. >> greg: second and five. cassel. almost picked off.

demonte harris. >> trent: you're glad your guy is able to knock that down, the throw getting close to being undercut and being a foot race the other way. >> greg: third and five. cassel. that is hakeem valles. incomplete. valles has been active in this offense tonight. >> bruce: he really has. they're doing a good job. he's making a name for himself. he's going to make the roster. >> greg: this field goal attempt will be a 50-yarder.

penalty markers fly. let's see what this is about. >> referee: illegal formation am. defense. number 75. five-yard penalty. replay fourth down. >> greg: >> greg: davonte lambert. >> bruce: that's a bad mental error. >> greg: it wasn't lambert.

nasecond effort might have gotten him a first down. >> trent: there is the power and the leg drive we were talking about. contact a good yard in the backfield. he kept those legs driving. watch the initial contact and you can see. look at that. he's almost two yards short of the sticks. the hit by -- >> greg: 40 seconds to play here in the third. blount again. running over people across the 20 to about the 18 yard line. >> bruce: he's proven he's a player. i don't know why he's in the end

of a preseason game. >> trent: the end of a preseason game but you want your big back going in there on fourth and one but as you mentioned now the clock winding down, about to head to the fourth quarter and your starting running back is still churning out the yards. >> greg: when we come back it will be second and two and the lions trying to put points on the board. at the end of three. back to tampa after this message and a word from your local station.

>> melanie: welcome back to tampa bay, everybody. it was a busy first half for matthew stafford but an even busier week. he and his wife kelly welcomed their third baby girl to the world thursday, august 16. we found out her name today. hunter hope. she and mom are doing well. you think matthew stafford is tough? look at this video of his wife kelly two days before the baby was born doing dead lifts in what she called operation get the baby out. the baby was born two days after

she posted the video. >> greg: melanie's favorite story the whole weekend. zach zenner is a fourth-year running back from south dakota state as we get the fourth quarter started. going back to the discussion we were having during the time out and at the end of the third quarter about legarrette blount being in the game. >> bruce: i didn't know was kerryon hurt. that's been his role. coach patricia in the meeting said he wanted to establish a fdz style and i think that's the point he was making. >> greg: third and one. zenner. zenner gets the first down just inside the 15 yard line and the lions knocking on the door. >> bruce: you want to win 100%

of third and ones throughout the entire season. you never want to give up a third and one especially if you want to be a tough, physical football team. >> trent: the lions scored last time down in here but for the most part in the red zone that's when they buckled up. >> greg: that's complete. brandon powell. powell is out of bounds. >> bruce: really good job by matt cassel seeing that blitz and knowing he was getting ready to get one and put it right on the money. t: a lot of times ghe ball can tipped in the air and cassel dropped that arm angle a little bit to wrap it around the defender and get the completion. >> greg: second and one on this 11th play of the drive by the

lions. zenner. has the yards. and looks for the end zone. he got as far as the one yard line. it will be first and goal. >> bruce: i'm betting this next one is a run too. they're trying to establish the mentality here and the young guys are doing a good job of it. >> trent: if it takes four, i think you're going to see four of them. unless of course a negative play happens but based on what we're seeing here in the second half and what they're trying to establish, i agree with you, coach. >> greg: zenner. going to lose a couple yards on the play. >> trent: now it changes up a little bilt. >> bruce: [laughs] there goes that theory. >> trent: a couple of options.

they're changing personnel groups bringing in some of the small, fast guys taking out big guys. going to spread things out on first and goal from the three. >> greg: so second and goal from the three and cassel with the offense spread in front of him. looks left. throws over the middle. touchdown. bradley marquez. found the hole in the middle of the defense and the lions are in the end zone again. >> trent: cassel looks out to the left. he thinks there may be a safety blitz, two guys stacked on the inside slot disguising it like they were going to bring pressure. matt looks left to confirm they're not bringing the blitz. it holds the defender, allows the inside slot receiver to come

inside and he's able to get back to him, locate him and make an accurate throw for the touchdown. >> greg: the extra point is good. with just over 11 1/2 to play here in the fourth quarter it's a seven-point game.

>> greg: good drive by the lions. 13 plays, 63 yards resulting in a touchdown pass and it is a seven-point game. sean wilson at the five.

going in the other direction and has just one man to beat on that side. gains good yardage out to the 45 yard line before he's forced out of bounds. injuries as we know are part of the game of football but they hurt even more when they happen to the big-name quarterbacks and nice to see a couple coming back. andrew luck. deshaun watson. who was having an outstanding year last year before he went down. and, of course, carson wentz. >> trent: all three of those guys, andrew luck has missed two years when you consider the injuries he's dealt with, watson was going to be rookie of the year and now other positions coming back off injury. >> greg: ts isnb this is ogunbowe. losingim thest game last year was really hard. really happy to see andrew luck back healthy because he's a great young player -- one of the best rookies i have ever been

around. >> trent: i would love to see him stay healthy. think about the way his career started off. you were involved in it. it's tremendous the type of player he is and the frustration that comes with not knowing, why isn't my shoulder getting any better? now that it appears that he's got it back to where it needs to be and being an effective quarterback once again. >> greg: that pass to the outside is complete. worth noting that ryan griffin is still in the game at quarterback even though we expected that austin hallam, would be playing. there is austin allen, rookie free agent quarterback out of arkansas. >> trent: the way grinch is playing they wanted to give him one more series, the first series everything was perfect then last series not as effective. give him one more look. i wouldn't be surprised if allen comes in on the next series if there is a next series based on

the way these drives go. >> greg: third and one. ogunbowale will get the call and get the first down. inside the 45 to the 43 yard line. let's go down to melanie who is with jason pierre-paul. >> melanie: thank you, greg. how nice is it to be back in your home state of florida where you played collegiately at u.s.f. in tampa? >> good to be back in florida, back in my old college stadium, tampa bay stadium, feels good. >> melanie: your coaches and teammates have raved about the leadership you have shown and your work ethic. what was your mindset? >> every year, is stay focused and play hard. i try to play my best game that's possible i can bring which is going 110%. that's what i do. >> melanie: this team made a number of off-season acquisitions on the defensive line.

how is the chemistry so far? >> the chemistry is good. we're not quite there but we're getting there, it's going to take time but we played great out there today, couple things we did we're going to clean them up this off week. >> melanie: thanks for the time, jason. back to you. >> greg: melanie, thank you. ryan griffin continues to throw the ball well. first down. he will throw it again. to the outside. right through the hands of his intended receiver, bernade readdy. >> trent: timely call recognizing when the pressure is coming. got to finish it. >> greg: dirk koetter in his fourth season here in tampa.

8 1/2 to play. on second and 10 they'll keep it on the ground with ogunbowale, and penalty marker flies. >> referee: holding. offense. number 60. 10-yard penalty. replay second down. >> trent: i'm not sure how much freedom they're giving griffin at the line of scrimmage. they've got man-to-man press on the outside. i kept waiting for him to check into something with a fade or come-back slant, something to take advantage of the man-to-man. >> bruce: he might be with younger guys they don't trust. >> trent: right, try to keep it on the ground, keep the clock moving. >> greg: second and 20 and the play fake. griffin throws. complete to ogunbowale out of the backfield to the 35.

>> bruce: good job there. looking for the big, deep crossing route off the play action. wasn't there. dump it to the back and pick up eight or nine. >> trent: we talked about earlier with cassel, look deep, hit your check-down and get back to a manageable third down. tampa bay didn't pick up as many yards as detroit did on their check-down but what a smart decision to make this more manageable and getting it back in field goal range. >> bruce: get five yards and get a field goal. >> greg: they need the 23 yard line for a first down. and a whistle. >> referee: first charged time out. tampa bay. >> greg: tampa bay gets a time out. stops the clock. aeton. edm. what about bubble trance? bubble what? bubble trance. it's a thing.

too much fog. too much rain. too much stormy weather. welcome back. greg gumbel, bruce arians, trent green. does tampa bay -- this tampa bay quarterback battle is interesting to watch. it's really not a battle because you know what dirk getter wants to do but he's got options. >> trent: the thing that's great is the fact that ryan griffin is playing well, ryan fitzpatrick played well, without jameis winston the first three weeks of the season because of the suspension with the way griffin is playing that's giving you confidence about your back-up going into the start of the season. >> greg: griffin with a third and 12 here. he throws outside. that is complete. looking for first down yardage is sean wilson. let's see where they mark him out of bounds. about a yard or two short. >> bruce: surprising when they catch detroit in man-to-man and get a pick play and an easy throw for ryan griffin there.

>> trent: the good thing about it when you think about the play call that happened, before the time out was called detroit was going to rush three and drop eight in coverage. that's why dirk koetter called the time out. he stuck with it anticipating that patricia was going to change things up and it worked in their favor giving them a manageable field goal. >> greg: catanzaro from 42 yards out and it is good. big three on the board for tampa. 30-20. 7:13. salads should look like this. crisp leaves of lettuce. freshly made dressing. clean food that looks this good. delivered to your desk. now delivering to home or office. panera. food as it should be.
