Chargers preseason football, as it is for most NFL teams, is never must-see television for casual fans. The die-hard ones will watch every snap and dissect every play, but for the average consumer, most prefer to tune out before the second half begins.
That is, until this year, at least for Chargers fans; the team is trying something different, and it’s working. Preseason football is actually fun again.
Here’s what the preseason has looked like most years under Tom Telesco:
Drive one:
- Cardale Jones incomplete pass
- Jones to Sean Culkin for nine yards
- Drive ends in a punt
Drive two:
- Jones for 25 yards
- Jones sacked for -8 yards
- Jones for 10 yards
- Drive ends in a punt
Drive three:
- Jones incomplete pass
- Jones sacked for -5 yards
- Drive ends with the half
Drive four:
- Jones to Artavis Scott for three yards
- Jones scrambles, fumbles (call overturned)
- Drive ends in a punt
Exhilarating, right?
