The Dallas Cowboys' offensive team is launching an attack on the court, and Lu Ke, who is sitting off the court, is discussing and arranging tactics with Kip Kleist and Craig Roman.
In essence, the Cowboys' defensive tactics are not complicated. They just change their focus and focus on defending the quarterback's passing weapons.
However, for every quarterback, how to tear apart the defense, how to arrange tactics, and how to complete the pass is a game and confrontation with the defensive team.
Now, the Cowboys have chosen a simple and crude defensive method, but it is effective and curbed Lu Ke's passing attack; so, how will Lu Ke respond?
If Lu Ke could run with the ball, the Cowboys' defensive tactics would immediately be in a hurry; but the problem is that Lu Ke's physical confrontation ability and ability to move with the ball are both shortcomings. Once Lu Ke starts running with the ball, the linebacker's powerful tackle, impact and inertia will become more powerful, and Lu Ke will be in danger of injury.
After all, quarterbacks are not as physically strong as running backs. What's more, he's still as small as Lu Ke?
This time, the San Francisco 49ers' defense did not relax its vigilance and blocked Romo at the 46-yard line in the Cowboys' half, forcing the Cowboys to punt. Later, Lu Ke went into battle again.
The Cowboys once again put up a dense defensive formation. Lu Ke seductively gave up the pistol formation and shotgun formation and chose another common "I" formation in the league.
The original model of the "I" formation was named because it was exactly the same as the letter "I". Five offensive linemen lined up, with the quarterback standing behind the center and standing closely; Guard, one half guard, showing a straight line, the distance between each person is about three yards.
Three wide receivers and a tight end are lined up in different positions based on different needs.
In the oldest version, all four receivers stand on the same horizontal line as the offensive line; then gradually evolved into a modified version, in which the four receivers are positioned vertically between the quarterback and the running back according to different needs. Online, used to confuse opponents.
In modern football, full backs are gradually disappearing, so in the "I" formation, there is only one running back behind the quarterback.
Just like Lu Ke’s offensive formation at this time:
Five offensive linemen are lined up, with a wide receiver on the left and right sides. Extending beyond, there is a wide receiver on the left and a tight end on the right, basically parallel to the offensive line, but slightly half a step behind; Lu Ke stuck closely behind the center, preparing to catch the ball; the running back stood six yards behind Lu Ke.
The tactical strategies of the three basic formations are relatively focused. In the I formation, the quarterback is close to the center, so the tactics are mainly based on running the ball; in the pistol formation, the quarterback and the center are separated by three yards, so the tactics can be combined in various ways; In the shotgun formation, the distance between the quarterback and the center is six to seven yards, and the entire tactic is based on passing.
Of course, this is just the focus of traditional basic tactics. The I formation is conducive to running backs sprinting, holding the ball, and breakthroughs, while the shotgun formation is conducive to quarterback observation, judgment, and passing. However, choosing to run the ball in the shotgun formation, or passing the ball in the I formation, unexpected actions can often lead to unexpected gains.
Lu Ke set up an I formation, and with Marcus as the running back, he set up a strong rushing posture; but the Cowboys were not moved at all and still unswervingly chose a dense defensive formation.
After the kickoff, Lu Ke quickly stepped back and handed the football to Marcus according to the coaching staff's arrangement.
Today's situation is different from the first game. The Cowboys have already set up a goal formation, so the 49ers must disrupt the opponent's defensive rhythm by running the ball. Otherwise, Lu Ke's passing will bear huge pressure and the offense will be difficult to open. In this situation, if you are not careful, you will get an interception or a dropped ball.
What's more, the Cowboys defend the pass heavily and the run ball defense is relatively lax. This is the best chance to open up the situation.
After Marcus held the ball, he hit left and right, found a gap, and started to push forward; but the Cowboys' defensive team was highly focused, with three defensive forwards and four linebackers all in the first place. Time rushed over and blocked the entire advancement path. The two cornerbacks standing behind also quickly approached and made a defensive posture.
The entire defense is like a mountain, layer after layer, layer after layer. If Marcus transformed into the Hulk right now, he might be able to complete the breakthrough; but the problem is, he can't.
As a result, Marcus only ran two yards, but was unable to make any progress and stayed helplessly in place.
The ensuing second play, eight yards.
It was still in the I formation. After the kickoff, Lu Ke quickly stepped back and reached out to try to complete the handover. However, he withdrew his right hand at the last moment and did not hand the football to Marcus. Instead, he turned around and started looking for the passing target.
The Cowboys completely gave up the raid, which made the 49ers' pockets solid. Lu Ke didn't feel the slightest pressure and looked for the target calmly. However, the entire stadium was densely packed with Cowboys players and he couldn't find it at all. Neutral. In a flash, Lu Ke passed the rugby ball and chose Michael Crabtree.
However, the Cowboys' cornerback was highly focused and did not give Crabtree any chance to catch the ball. He pushed and pulled, squeezed, and waved to block his line of sight. He defended strictly, cleanly, and without fouling. Signs; in the end Crabtree could only watch as the pass fell to the grass. Pass incomplete.
On the third play, it was still eight yards.
Lu Ke chose the pistol formation and completed the kickoff. This time he directly omitted the feint of running and passing the ball. Without hesitation or observation, he took action immediately, and the target of the pass was Logan, a tight end!
Because the defense in the short pass area was too dense, Lu Ke was not greedy, but chose a five-yard pass, hoping to use Logan's breakthrough ability to get the first offense; sure enough, Logan received the football smoothly, but In the next second, the double-team tackle of the two players accurately hugged Logan and knocked Logan down neatly.
Strikeout again!
The San Francisco 49ers struck out twice in the opening two offenses, and only advanced 12 yards in total; Lu Ke made one of three passes and only advanced five yards. The team's offense was completely in trouble.
The ominous premonition seems to be coming true; what’s worse is that this is just the beginning.
In the ensuing offense, the San Francisco 49ers' young and energetic offensive team encountered the Cowboys' tight defense, which finally highlighted the immaturity and rawness of the rookie players. The first to bear the brunt are Marcus and Logan.
Marcus's rushing today seemed to lack a little bit of spirituality. His line selection and breakthrough methods were always out of rhythm, and his advancement effect was slow to open up the situation, and even repeatedly put the team in trouble. Inadvertently, Marcus seemed to have become Anthony Dixon in the last game.
Logan was even more in trouble. In college, Logan's physical advantage was very obvious and he could eat up his opponents; but after entering the league, his physical advantage was completely eroded - the team's coaching staff continued to ask Logan to gain weight, but Logan I never cared about it.
In today's game, the Cowboys' defensive players kept making small moves, overtly and covertly disrupting Logan's catching rhythm. The running routes could not open up gaps, and even the gaps for observing the passing trajectory were very limited. Many times, the football was passed before Logan could even get ready to catch the ball.
Lu Ke tried four times, but Logan only succeeded the second time, and all three subsequent attempts failed.
In addition to the two rookies Marcus and Logan, the other three veteran wide receivers seem to be far from optimal.
Lu Ke set up a full-power offensive formation. He did not deliberately select players to receive the ball, but focused on gaps first, but the effect was limited.
Michael Crabtree passed two passes, one successful for three yards; one defensive player batted the pass and the pass was incomplete.
Kyle Williams passed the ball once and caught the ball himself.
Ted Ginn passed the ball twice, one was misplaced, and the other was a mess. After receiving the ball, it was like holding a hot potato, and it actually fell out again, and was almost intercepted by the opponent:
After the receiving player completes the ball, but fails to control the ball, the football jumps out again. Before landing, the defensive player can catch and control the football, then it is an interception; but the football lands before the defensive player catches it, or the defensive player If you fail to control it and fall to the ground, then the pass is incomplete. The ball will not complete the conversion.
Gene's buttery hand shocked the San Francisco 49ers into a cold sweat. Fortunately, the Cowboys cornerback failed to catch the football and the ball fell directly to the ground. Pass incomplete.
The whole offensive team was misfired, and they struck out three times in a row. The San Francisco 49ers offense, which had everything they wanted in the first game, couldn't even get a first down today! It completely shocked everyone!
The coaching staff led by Jim Harbaugh made adjustments, replacing the underperforming Logan Newman with Vernon Davis, and using Anthony Dixon and Marcus Lynch to rotate the rush and change the offense. Rhythm; replaced the almost invisible Kyle Williams with Braylon Edwards and redistributed tactics.
"So far today, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team has performed really poorly. It seems that it was knocked back to its original shape overnight, and all offensive weapons were misfired."
Sitting in the studio, Kirk-Charleston tried to remain as neutral as possible and expressed his opinion.
"Objectively speaking, No. 14 Lu Ke didn't get much support today. The poor performance of the receiving players curbed his performance. But on the other hand, his own passes deviated at least twice, and they were still in Without any surprise pressure, the pass was not completed. This is really unusual for Lu Ke, who is known for his passing accuracy."
"Let's look at this offense, Vernon Davis, oh, God, interception! Interception! The rookie quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers threw the first interception of his career!"
