Two-tight end tactic.
After Hubble's tactical instructions came out of the headphones, there were thousands of thoughts in his mind. In an instant, Lu Ke understood the coach's tactical intentions. Although Lu Ke has read the tactical manual many times, he still needs to keep learning to truly understand and apply it. Especially with the help of the system, Lu Ke is growing rapidly in the quarterback position.
A little behind the coach, Lu Ke's thinking became clear again.
Through the headphones, Lu Ke and Hubble completed the communication simply and quickly. All the conjectures were confirmed, and Lu Ke's tactical ideas began to become clear.
Hubble lowered his chin with satisfaction and expressed his appreciation; if every rookie quarterback could understand tactics and grasp the situation so quickly like Lu Ke, then the team would not reject the use of rookie quarterbacks. On the contrary, the anger and vitality of the rookie quarterback can inject more vitality into the team.
Unfortunately, in real life, this is just an "if".
Among this year's rookie quarterbacks, Lu Ke is undoubtedly the leader in terms of learning and executing the tactical manual, and no one can surpass him; obviously, now everyone finally understands what a perfect score in Fonderrick's test means.
The second quarter officially started, and the San Francisco 49ers immediately faced the problem of seven yards on third gear.
Seven yards on third gear.
There is no doubt that this is an extremely difficult long yardage, which places strict demands on the team's tactics and execution.
Standing in the pocket, Lu Ke carefully read the opponent's defensive formation. After bending down and getting ready for the kickoff, he caught the opponent's player's movement and position again with his peripheral vision, and couldn't help but stand up straight again. The second time Make defensive reads.
The San Francisco 49ers adopted a double tight end tactic, so the entire offensive formation became thicker, with five offensive linemen in the middle, and Michael Crabtree, Logan Newman and Ted Ginn on the left. On the right is Vernon Davis; Lu Ke and Marcus Lynch stand four yards behind the center in a pistol formation, standing parallel to each other.
The right side is a heavy weapon, and the left side is also a heavy weapon, both sides are strong.
First on the right side, Vernon and Logan are both tight ends, but have slightly different styles. Compared with Logan, Vernon is a more traditional tight end, with a strong body and a tough style. He has better picking and screening abilities, but his catching ability is slightly inferior.
In the short passing area, Vernon can serve as an opener for the running back and a screener for the quarterback. More importantly, relying on his physical advantage, Vernon is very dominant in receiving short-yardage passes. In 2009, Vernon was shortlisted for the Pro Bowl, relying on his superb pick-and-roll and short-pass catching abilities.
Now, Vernon is alone on the right side, but despite this, he is still like a bridgehead, standing on the side with a strong position, becoming a powerful threat that cannot be ignored; what's more, Marcus is also standing on Lu Ke's right hand, ready at any time Could be a potential threat on the right.
Next is the left side. The large wide receiver Crabtree is the coverer of the short passing area. The tight end Logan is lethal in the short passing, medium passing and long passing areas. Gene, who takes advantage of his speed advantage to the extreme, is He is a disruptor at the far end of the backcourt. The three receiving players can combine to create countless running routes and create threats.
Just by replacing Kyle Williams with Vernon Davis, the San Francisco 49ers suddenly became thicker in short passing areas and ball running routes, and left the light and flexible Gene to maintain long passes. With the threat of a blow, the entire offensive style immediately transformed, showing a different attitude.
The Detroit Lions defensive team standing on the other side could clearly feel the subtle changes in the air during the close face-to-face duel. The chilling atmosphere gradually became thicker and steady. The feeling was like eighteen weapons. In the middle, the long sword turned into a mace - or a giant hammer, with a powerful and shocking force that pressed heavily on the chest, making people breathless.
Correspondingly, the Lions' defensive team also made adjustments.
Among the defensive front line, there are seven players, three defensive fronts and five offensive fronts. Correspondingly, four linebackers are scattered, and two linebackers stand behind the defensive fronts, ready to intercept and run. To defend the ball and the short passing area in the middle, one linebacker took a half-step forward and faced Vernon one-on-one, while the other linebacker took a half-step back and stared at Gene.
Among the defensive second line, the two cornerbacks and two safeties are located about six or seven yards behind. One safety guard is positioned slightly to the right of the center, ready to mark Vernon and Marcus. , and waiting for the opportunity; the other three players were all on the left, their eyes fixed on the three players Crabtree, Logan and Gene.
The entire defensive formation of the Detroit Lions pressed forward slightly, forming a tit-for-tat situation with the San Francisco 49ers' heavy swords. The tight air could smell the tense smell of gunpowder. It looked like a red zone. Average defense.
But in fact, they were still on the 23-yard line of the San Francisco 49ers' half, still far away from the red zone; more importantly, this was just the beginning of the second quarter! The atmosphere and intensity have obviously entered another level.
It can be clearly felt that both teams showed determination and determination to win this game.
Lu Ke was keenly aware just now that in the second defensive line, the safety guard Chris Harris, who was near the right side, was moving quietly. On the surface, it seemed that he was moving towards the right side - Lu Ke's Right hand direction, Harris' left hand direction, but Harris' body center of gravity remains still.
Is this a smoke bomb, or is it correct prediction?
With a prediction ability of 81 points, Lu Ke was still a little unsure.
So, Lu Ke stood up straight and made his second defensive read. However, his eyes did not stay on Harris, but carefully reviewed the position of the defensive front line, just catching Harris's movements with his peripheral vision.
Chris Harris, the No. 43 safety guard of the Detroit Lions, is a veteran who represented the Chicago Bears in the Super Bowl in 2006 and lost to the Indianapolis Colts led by Peyton Manning; 2010 He was selected to the second team of the All-American team in 2011 and performed outstandingly. He is not a talented player, but he has relied on his cunning and wisdom to occupy a place in the league.
As cunning and sophisticated as a soldier, this is undoubtedly Harris's trump card.
At this time, Harris made a deceptive fake move. On the surface, it seemed that he was moving towards his left side, preparing to cover Vernon and Marcus; but in fact, his center of gravity did not move, and the middle area The running ball and Logan in the right area are his real defensive targets.
Sure enough, the San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback was fooled.
As a defensive player, Harris didn't need to hide his sight and locked the rookie quarterback's movements firmly. He noticed the opponent's move to stand up and read the defense again, then stopped in pretend panic and stood still. He seemed to not want to reveal his defensive intentions, but in fact, he had been observing the rookie's movements and expressions.
It can be noticed that the rookie's eyes fell on the right and middle areas, and he was reviewing the entire defensive position, especially the position of the defensive forward players. His careful observation eyes could not hide the true intention in his heart - obviously, he was Determine the possibility of running the ball and the possibility of short passing routes in the middle area.
Only players who have actually stood on the green field and experienced the game can understand: the eyes, the eyes hidden behind the helmet, can reveal too much information, especially the eyes of the quarterback. For every defensive player, reading the quarterback's eyes is a must, but only top defensive players can read it accurately.
Why is it easy for a rookie quarterback to reveal his tactical intentions on the field? Why are college tactics often easily seen through in professional leagues?
That's why.
Now, Harris read the eyes of the rookie quarterback on the opposite side. He knew that his deception tactics had worked. If the opponent chose to run the ball, it would just be the sheep entering the tiger's mouth and coming to the door.
"attack!"
Hidden among a series of dazzling fake kick-off calls, Harris captured the correct kick-off call. His pupils captured the muscle explosion of the opponent's offensive line at the start of the game. Almost at the same time, his feet suddenly exerted force, and Harris was like a cheetah. Usually he pounced hard, not on the left side where Vernon Davis was, but in the gap in the middle of the defensive line——
This is a fishing slot! The Lions defensive team deliberately created a gap to leave room for the opposing running back to rush, but Harris immediately made up the defense and gave Marcus Lynch a head-on blow.
The whole body was thrown out, and the powerful momentum could not be stopped at all. The joy of winning had already begun to flap his wings, but the next second, the smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and Harris looked at the offensive line in front of him in amazement.
No, it shouldn't be the offensive line in front of him, but Marcus Lynch; but why does he only see Jonathan Goodwin and Mike Rupatti now, and Marcus? Why is Marcus missing?
The inertia of gravity was still rushing forward. Harris looked quickly through the helmet, and then caught Marcus's figure pulling horizontally from left to right, running past Lu Ke like a whistling, without any movement at all. Stay; at the same time, another figure moved quickly from right to left, crossed with Marcus, leaving only an afterimage of the wind, quickly passed through the gap behind the offensive line, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The entire running route is dazzling and overwhelming; more importantly, the football is still in the hands of the rookie quarterback!
In an instant, a thought slipped through his mind, and his whole body was cold. Harris's facial expression suddenly changed from joy to horror: The rookie quarterback was not fooled, this was not a run, but a pass!
damn it!
