This is the San Francisco 49ers' fourth passing touchdown of the game! the fourth time!
If "luck" is a reasonable explanation for the first and second touchdowns, and Logan Newman is also a feasible explanation, then the third and fourth times are not.
In the shotgun formation, Lu Ke's advantages and strengths were magnified to the extreme. Defensive reading, pass control, pass and run distribution, and on-the-spot command... The entire tactical distribution is not only reasonable, but also sharp, especially the length distribution of passes. Short passes, medium passes, and long passes are fully developed, which almost makes the defensive players They are unable to make accurate judgments and are exhausted.
Of course, the solid pocket protection of the defensive front definitely contributes to this. However, in the first half, the 49ers' defensive line protection was riddled with holes, but in the second half, something new suddenly emerged——
Ultimately, the reason is that the shotgun formation gives Lu Ke more space to pass, which disrupts the defensive rhythm of the defensive team. The surprise and impact of the defensive front is inevitably weakened, and the second-line defense cannot always be limited. To contain the pass. Thus, a vicious cycle is formed.
All in all, the core link lies in the rookie quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers. His smooth and relaxed offense is jaw-dropping.
Four touchdowns, undisputed four touchdowns, was like a loud slap in the face of every doubter. It was so loud, so shocking, so cruel that everyone was stunned for a moment. They were all stunned and speechless.
Pete Carroll, who was standing on the sidelines, was even more confused. What's going on? What exactly is going on? However, as the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, he cannot mess up his position at this time. He must regain his energy and temporarily put aside Lu Ke's amazing performance and focus on the team's own tactics.
However, this is not an easy task.
Looking back, Pete saw the dumbfounded Karl. He was furious, rushed forward, grabbed Karl's collar, and used the lion's roar skill, "Come back to your senses! Come back to your senses! Damn it, what happened to the quarterback? Us?" 's quarterback disappeared on the field! Do something! You're his mom's quarterback coach!"
Karl, with spit on his face, was still dumbfounded.
Troy Ball cheered in amazement. He even jumped up and cheered. Watching the replay again, he still couldn't stop sighing, "This is the real passing attack! This rookie fourth The shooting guard showed maturity and sophistication comparable to a ten-year veteran! Wow, wow!"
At the same time, there was confusion and astonishment in the commentator's seat, as well as hesitant sighs and surprises.
"I have to say that the course of this game was unexpected. The 49ers dominated the game and now the Seahawks are in a desperate situation."
"The 49ers' rookie quarterback showed excellent control and experienced and wise passing choices, successfully suppressing the Seahawks' defense and breaking the deadlock."
"With four touchdowns, there's no question that the rookie quarterback has proven that he's not a loser. But the question is, how are the Seahawks going to respond? Travis Jackson and Marshawn Lynch, they're not going to Capture him without mercy."
…
In the panic, the commentators could only sigh, then avoid the important and ignore the outstanding performance of Lu Ke for the time being. These things can wait until after the game, to sort out their thoughts and digest their emotions, and then make comments at that time; now, they are more Turning the topic to the game:
What will the Seattle Seahawks do? There is still enough time in the game, and a comeback is still possible. The key point is, what should the Seattle Seahawks do?
After the San Francisco 49ers special teams kicked in the extra point, the team was already far ahead with a score of "28:10". There was not much time left for the Seattle Seahawks, but everything is possible. In the first game of Lu Ke's college career, he fell behind by three touchdowns and achieved a huge comeback.
But, at least not in the third quarter. This score continued into the beginning of the fourth quarter.
The Seattle Seahawks' offense continued from the third quarter to the fourth quarter, spending a total of six minutes before and after, but still failed to score. At the 46-yard position of the San Francisco 49ers' half, the Seahawks chose to force a fourth. block, but the attack failed, so the San Francisco 49ers offensive team came on the court and started the attack at 46 yards.
This time, the Seahawks defense finally woke up. The San Francisco 49ers put on a posture of running the ball - with a huge advantage, they made up their mind to consume time. Running the ball consumes much more time than passing the ball. But unfortunately, Marcus failed to achieve a breakthrough in three runs. He only advanced six yards and ended up with a strikeout.
The Seattle Seahawks, who came on next, also failed to seize the opportunity. Not only were they struck out, but Travis was sacked and pushed to their own 14-yard line. At this position, a fourth-speed offense was meaningless. , had no choice but to abandon the kick.
Before the San Francisco 49ers offensive team takes the field again, the special teams of both sides must punt: the Seattle Seahawks punt, the San Francisco 49ers complete the ball and start a return attack. The location of the return attack will be the starting point of their offense. starting position.
The so-called punt is actually a technical job.
First of all, players from both sides will list a forward line, which is the same as the confrontation between the offensive line and the defensive line. The position is at the position where the offensive team just stopped. For example, if the Seattle Seahawks suffered a sack just now and the offense stopped at their own fourteen yards, then the punt would be at their own fourteen yards.
After the formation is completed, the center of the punting team kicks off and passes the football to the punter seven or eight yards away. After the punter catches the football, he then kicks it like a goalkeeper in a football game. , kicking the football out.
A truly excellent punt has requirements for height, position, and distance. It is not that the farther the better, but that it pays attention to control.
The top punters can make precise punt control based on their punt position. For example, letting the football fall within five yards of the edge of the end zone causes the opponent's offense to have to start the offense in such an awkward position; conversely, a poor punter may kick the ball without any characteristics, and the opponent's special teams team receives the ball. After football, it is not unusual to start a return attack and directly score a return touchdown.
In football games, in addition to the offense, the defense and special teams can also score. After the defensive team completes the interception, as long as the knee does not touch the ground, it can launch a return attack and score a return touchdown; the special team can launch a return attack when punting or kicking off, and it is possible to score a return touchdown.
People always ignore the scoring ability of special teams, but in fact, details like bad special teams and excellent special teams are exactly the symbol of a strong team.
In official NFL games, each team only has a roster of fifty-three players, with a total of twenty-two starting players on the offensive and defensive teams, so the composition of the special teams team is a bit special.
Each team's special team has only three fixed members, the kicker, the kicker and the punter - the kicker shoots free kicks, and the punter specializes in punting and kicking off the ball. Their functions are the same. Technologies are all different. In addition to this, there may occasionally be a dedicated returner, who is usually a top speed player, but occasionally the wide receiver can also make a cameo, so not every team will equip it.
In addition to the three fixed members, the remaining eight players of the special team are composed of players from the offensive and defensive teams. They may be substitutes or main players. The combination of the special team may be slightly different each time. changed. Even in some special tactics, the backup quarterback may play a special role as a ball supporter or kicker.
Like a football team's depth, special teams can show a team's reserves.
Today, the Seattle Seahawks were completely in disarray, and the special teams team made another mistake immediately afterwards——
After the punter completed the kick, Colin Jones, No. 43 of the 49ers special team, broke through the opponent's offensive line, raised his left hand high, and actually slapped away the rising player. The football changed its flight trajectory. Instead of flying high into the sky, it was refracted to the side, and then touched the body of the Seahawks player, forming a dead ball on the spot.
The dead ball position is sixteen yards.
This means that the San Francisco 49ers offense will start attacking directly from sixteen yards.
Colin Jones, this year's sixth-round pick, is a safety and did not win the starting qualification. As a substitute, he temporarily appeared on the special team. Unexpectedly, in this special team's defense, they made great achievements and became an important contributor to turning the game around!
The entire audience was excited, screaming, shouting, and cheering all the time.
All the members of the Seattle Seahawks had deathly expressions on their faces, which was almost like a death sentence for them. At this time, there are still ten minutes and thirty-three seconds left in the game, and the San Francisco 49ers will start their attack sixteen yards from the front of the end zone. Unless they can intercept Lu Ke, the free kick score is certain. Once a touchdown is reached, the gap will be Just pull it up again, and there is really not much time left for them.
Sure enough, faced with such a good opportunity, Lu Ke, who was on full fire tonight, did not relax at all.
After directing the defensive line to complete the formation, Lu Ke took the ball directly and pretended to pass to Logan for the first time, but then withdrew his arm and pretended to pass to Crabtree again. Just when everyone thought it was still a During the fake move, the football was passed out of his hands. The short four-yard pass fell accurately into the arms of Crabtree amid the dense defense.
Sherman finally made his first effective tackle of the night, catching Crabtree firmly and preventing him from advancing; but still failed to break up the pass, and the San Francisco 49ers gained another four yards. Just twelve yards from the end zone.
Lu Ke signaled everyone to calm down and not to be too emotional, which would lead to deviations in the execution of tactics. His eyes remained hungry and sharp, and he reorganized tactics and rearranged attacks.
In the second offense, the offensive line steadily blocked the defensive players. The Seattle Seahawks had no intention of making a surprise attack. They accumulated heavy troops in the end zone and launched an intensive defense. Nearly seven players were roaming in the area, and there was a small area near Logan. There are at least three defensive players for strict protection.
Lu Ke calmly began to adjust his pace, taking a panoramic view of the entire end zone, then raised his chin, motioned for Marcus to step forward, raised the knife with his hand, and then the football was passed.
There was just a gap of about two yards, Lu Ke caught it, and Marcus also caught it. Marcus caught the football smoothly and faced the two Seahawks players who fiercely rushed to defend the ball. Marcus lowered his center of gravity and showed off his powerful running back style. He hit the ball with absolute force and squeezed through the gap. Got in.
End zone, touchdown! Suspense, kill! Everything is so simple.
