"Viewers, friends who have just turned on the TV, welcome to Fox TV. What we are watching now is the second week of the NFL regular season. The San Francisco 49ers' first away game of the season, heading to Cincinnati to challenge the Bengals. I am Kirk Charleston, my partner Teddy Williams and I will still provide commentary for this game."
After two weeks of adaptation and warm-up, Kirk has gradually become accustomed to the rhythm of the TV station, and the organization of his words has begun to flow smoothly.
"The biggest highlight of this game is undoubtedly the showdown between the two rookie quarterbacks, Lu Ke and Andy Dalton." After the brief introduction, Kirk immediately got into the topic, "Just now Doyle Dun led the team to launch the first round of offense, Teddy, what do you think?"
"Dalton undoubtedly showed a good passing touch, successfully passing the ball four times out of six times, and assisted in running the ball twice. The balance and smoothness of the entire offense were excellent." Teddy's explanation was also smooth and fast, "However, Today is Dalton's first home appearance. It can be seen that he is a little nervous. The deviation of the two failed passes was very outrageous. It was impossible for the receiver to catch the football. Although he pushed past half court, he failed to score. Next, we still have to see how Dalton adjusts his condition. Performing in front of the home fans will undoubtedly be stressful."
"I agree. On the other hand, away games are also a severe test. This is Lu Ke's first away game in his career. For him, the challenge is probably even greater than Dalton." Kirk took over the words, Quick to comment, "However, for the league, every game this quarterback plays is making history. So, let's take a look at the performance of this undrafted rookie today."
As they spoke, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team officially took the field, and Kirk and Teddy gradually began to have a tacit understanding of their cooperation. The two joined forces to quickly complete the introduction of the offensive team's starting players, and then entered the game; However, in a flash, the game was "interrupted".
"Oh! This time the grapple was too fast and too fierce. Lu Ke had no chance, almost no chance." Teddy couldn't help but frowned, as if he was the one who had just been grappled, feeling the pain empathetically. , "Let's rewatch the replay."
"After the kickoff, the Cincinnati Bengals showed a strong offensive power. They unexpectedly relaxed their long pass defense in the backcourt and deployed strong and heavy troops to launch a surprise attack. The impact of seven players completely tore apart the San Francisco 49ers' offense. Striker." Kirk took over the burden of explanation and drew a yellow circle on the screen. "It's not just a numerical advantage, but also a tactical misalignment. The Tigers' defensive front had an absolute advantage. This is it!”
Kirk clicked on the yellow circle to indicate the position of Lu Ke's left blind side, "Three players concentrated on breakthroughs, and the 49ers' offensive line was overwhelmed. They only had time to block one, and the remaining two players, one bypassed One of them joined the offensive line and broke in from the outside; one passed through the gap in the pocket and directly completed the sack."
Teddy couldn't help but sigh, "In this defense, the Tigers used a blitzkrieg situation to completely catch the 49ers off guard. Let's look at the time... Wow, it was only 2.21 seconds. The Tigers only took He completely broke through the offensive line and completed the tackle in 2.21 seconds. He was fast, fierce, and powerful, without leaving much observation time and reaction space for the opponent's quarterback. The Tigers showed something that was not seen in the previous two games. Defensive intensity.”
"Yes, this is really a surprise." Kirk also agreed, "In the past two games, the Tigers gave up a total of 563 yards and lost 41 points. The defensive team's performance was indeed not strong enough. But today, In front of the home crowd, they showed a new look, and this game will be extremely tough for the San Francisco 49ers' young offense."
In the first defensive moment of the home game, the Cincinnati Bengals showed strong "offensive power."
In football, not only the offensive team has offensive power, but the defensive team and special teams also have offensive power - making drops, interceptions, game errors and variables. In addition to offensive players, other players can also show their ability. Use fierce aggression to control the game and score points.
Moreover, unlike in football games, the offensive awareness of defensive backfield players is too strong, and if they are not careful, they will leave opportunities for their opponents to take advantage of; football is not so troublesome. Defensive players can "attack" as much as they want.
For some teams, the scoring ability of the defensive team even exceeds that of the offensive team. This is not normal and unreasonable, but it is real.
In this attack just now, the Cincinnati Bengals showed their "offensive power", and with the Tigers' strong momentum going down the mountain, they successfully got the first sack of today's game.
The players piled up on him walked away one after another, and Lu Ke stood up again, breathing heavily and feeling a dull pain in his right shoulder. The capture just now was not vicious in nature, but the force of the fall was too strong, and the pain could be clearly felt in the shoulder.
"Bambi, are you okay?" Anthony Davis and Joe Stanley walked up quickly, looking apologetic. They are the left tackle and left guard, responsible for protecting Lu Ke's blind side. The pocket is completely torn and the quarterback is directly sacked. This is their responsibility.
Lu Ke waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. The annoyance and anger had subsided, and he was aware of his nervousness and his distraction. The impact of away games is everywhere, and being sacked without the ability to fight back is the direct result.
Many times, there is no way to control nervousness. Even the four elite quarterbacks are still nervous when standing on the stage of the Super Bowl. The best way to deal with nervousness is not to relieve or relieve it, but to concentrate on it wholeheartedly. Get involved in the game, concentrate, and turn tension into motivation.
Lu Ke forced himself to calm down, looked around quickly, and then caught the figure of Tigers No. 97.
Geno-Atkins, defensive tackle. This is a second-year player who entered the league last year with the 120th pick in the fourth round.
In his rookie season, he had only a handful of opportunities to play and hardly performed; but this year, he became the starter on the defensive team. In the first two games, he made two tackles and forced three hasty shots. It can't be said to be brilliant, but it is also an important part of the defensive team.
All the corresponding information appeared in Lu Ke's mind. To prepare for a game, he must understand all aspects of his opponent, so that he will not be caught off guard. Although there were no highlight performances in the previous two games, in the first offense just now, Atkins completed the first sack of his career.
Atkins' young and energetic face was celebrating his first sack; but after the celebration, he quickly recovered and began to adjust his breathing and movements. It can be seen that the professional attitude deserves recognition.
Lu Ke called Davis and Stanley over, "No. 97. You need to pay more attention." He is not a key defensive player yet. "His speed is average, but his strength is very strong. When defending, he has a very offensive awareness." Strong, easy to create mismatches. Next, pay more attention."
The cheers and shouts at Paul Brown Stadium are extremely annoying. The bursts of noise are intermittent, like a swarm of flies, buzzing around the ears, far and near, light and heavy, always unpredictable. , but lingering.
Lu Ke only said a few words, and then his train of thought was interrupted. He raised his head and glanced around the bleacher seats. The absence of at least one-third of the stands is indeed a bit shabby, but it is precisely for this reason that the support is even more elusive.
"..." Lu Ke withdrew his attention and prepared to continue arranging tactics, but his thoughts couldn't help but pause for a moment. There was a blank moment, and then he recalled and called his teammates over.
"The mistake just now was mine." Lu Ke did not evade responsibility. Under the influence of the nervousness of the away game, he did not read the defense well. This was the root cause of the entire sack; now that they are aware of the problem, they must solve the problem, " We need to move!" Lu Ke clenched his fist hard and quickly arranged his tactics.
Screen pass.
Facing the strong pass rush of the defensive team, the offensive team has many different response plans. The efficiency of the professional league was immediately reflected. After the first attack failed, the analysis team above the court quickly completed communication with the coaching team, formulated corresponding tactics, and accurately conveyed it to Lu Ke through the headset: Screen short pass.
The voice in the earphones also further confirmed: No. 97 did indeed perform well in the raid just now.
After forming up again, Lu Ke was not in a hurry to kick off. His eyes fell on Atkins and the teammates on both sides of him. His eyes were sharp and strong, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. I could clearly smell the imminent danger, and then, the noise and noise in my ears gradually began to fade away.
"attack!"
Standing in the pistol formation, Lu Ke shouted loudly; at the same time, the roar of support like a waterfall poured down endlessly. The entire stadium was filled with sound, light, and the air began to boil.
The next second, Lu Ke noticed the flight path of the rugby ball.
Taller!
Jonathan Goodwin's kick was actually high, and the parabola rose high. Lu Ke had to raise his hands on his chest and pick off the football diagonally above his head. In less than a blink of an eye, " Amidst the banging sound, the offensive line was torn apart again, and you could see a large swath of white jerseys pouring into the black——
The San Francisco 49ers' road jersey is white, the same as the Cincinnati Bengals' home jersey. After negotiation, the 49ers chose an all-black jersey.
Stepping back, taking a quick step back, Lu Ke's peripheral vision was like a scanner, scanning the defensive line and the receiving player, but it was too late. The figure of No. 97 swept across like a strong wind!
