After coming on the field, the second pass was intercepted, which was obviously not good news.
Strictly speaking, this interception was not Lu Ke's direct responsibility. Williams slapped the football, but failed to complete the ball. After changing the passing parabola, this led to the interception; but from an objective standpoint, Look, Lu Ke's pass itself was deviated, which caused his connection with Williams to fail, which forced the accident later.
Therefore, this is still Lu Ke's responsibility.
Lu Ke's first interception in his career was due to Vernon Davis's buttery hand. After completing the ball, he was forced to throw away the football. Then the opponent completed the interception. The responsibility was not on Lu Ke, but more on Lu Ke. Vernon's ball protection problem; but for today's interception, Lu Ke cannot escape responsibility.
Standing there, Lu Ke put his hands on his waist and seriously began to think about his defensive reading and shot judgment just now, looking for his own mistakes.
To be honest, before the game, Lu Ke had thought about the revenge battle. If the Washington Redskins had not hesitated in the draft, then his career might have been different. Deep in his heart, However, Lu Ke still hopes to prove himself in front of Mike Shanahan. After all, the exchange in the rookie training camp did give Lu Ke a glimmer of hope.
If he said that he had never thought about "revenge" at all, then Lu Ke would be deceiving himself.
However, after entering the game, Lu Ke had completely cleared his mind and put all distracting thoughts aside.
This ability can be said to be talent or habit. Because the quarterback is standing on the field, there are too many things to think about and observe in his head, and any distraction may lead to a complete loss of control.
Especially for Lu Ke in high school, with his small body and a little distraction, it might be a sack or impact. His physical fitness is really unable to withstand too much impact. In order to protect himself and gain wisdom from every experience, Lu Ke must force himself to concentrate on the game.
Over time, as long as he stands on the court, Lu Ke will enter a state of selflessness and fully devote himself to the game. From a certain perspective, perhaps, this is the key to Lu Ke's success in the professional arena, at least one of the keys. Those growth trajectories have gradually made him what he is now.
Therefore, Lu Ke was not thinking about the revenge battle at all in his mind, but was completely reviewing the attack just now.
Obviously, after eight weeks of regular season experience, opponents already have a certain understanding of his passing routes and shooting habits, and have launched targeted defenses. In the pass just now, although the intensity of the defensive striker's impact was not great, several defensive players stretched out their arms without warning, seeming to have caught his passing route.
In order to avoid these arms, he slightly moved away from the path when the pass was released. Unexpectedly, he just fell into the opponent's trap and deviated from the original passing line.
The correct approach should be to raise the passing arc and slightly avoid the opponent's arms and fingertips; or to move your feet, adjust the passing route, and then break through the opponent's interception with a bullet pass.
In the blink of an eye, his thinking was not comprehensive enough, which led to this interception. Even if it wasn't an interception, it was an incomplete pass.
In future games, defensive players will gradually become smarter and develop routines and rules; then as a quarterback, he must be smarter and stay ahead of his opponents. Deep in his heart, Lu Ke secretly clenched his fists and said that after this week's game, he should spend more time studying game videos.
"Bambi, are you okay?" Mike Rupadi looked at Lu Ke who was in a sluggish state and took the initiative to greet him. He patted Lu Ke's arm worriedly and comforted him with concern, "This is just a one-time incident." Accidents, accidents are always inevitable during a game, don’t take it too seriously and focus on the next wave of attacks. This is the right thing to do.”
This was only Lu Ke's second interception of the season. Rupati was still worried that Lu Ke was too concerned about this mistake.
Lu Ke didn't know why, and blinked blankly, "I'm fine, I'm fine. What's wrong, are you okay?" Rupati was stunned by such a rhetorical question, and then Lu Ke patted Rupati. shoulder, "Let's go, we have to give up the field, and then prepare for the next wave of attacks, we will regain the advantage."
Not only was he not disappointed, but he also encouraged Rupati in turn. After saying that, Lu Ke left the court at a trot.
Rupadi, who was lagging behind, had questions all over his head: What happened just now?
After Lu Ke came off the field, Kip Kleist, Craig Roman and others all stepped forward and patted Lu Ke on the shoulders to express comfort and encouragement; but Lu Ke didn't take it to heart at all.
He knows that interceptions are part of the game. Even for an elite quarterback, interceptions are inevitable. What's more, the record for interceptions in his rookie season is still held by Peyton Manning - Manning is Lu. Ke's idol, this did not affect Manning later becoming the league's top quarterback.
Because he didn't care, Lu Ke was confused when faced with everyone's anomaly.
Until Alex Smith explained it himself, "Don't pay too much attention to that interception. The situation just now was not a tactical error. Just pay more attention next time."
Only then did Lu Ke react. He laughed dumbly and tried to explain. But looking at the concerned eyes behind him, he finally swallowed and did not reject the kindness of his teammates and coaches. "Okay, I know. Don't worry, I'll refocus."
Clenching his fists heavily, Lu Ke pretended to cheer up and at the same time awaken the attention of his teammates.
…
An interception resulted in a change of possession, and the Washington Redskins would start their attack 37 yards from the San Francisco 49ers' half. For the Redskins, this was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity. As long as you get a first down, you can get within the range of a free kick; if you go one step further, it will be a good opportunity for a touchdown.
Carrying the expectations and attention of the entire stadium, Rex Grossman led the Redskins offense to make a shining debut.
Grossman, who was holding his breath tightly, did not waste such an excellent opportunity. After coming on the field, he observed calmly, calmly completed the pass in the turbulent pocket, and successfully found the wide receiver Anthony Armstrong. .
In the double-team defense of two players, Armstrong relied on his personal physical talent to leap high, pick off the football on the heads of the two players, and firmly complete the control of the ball, and finally fell to the ground. This catch advanced fourteen yards, bringing the Redskins to the twenty-three-yard line.
This wonderful pass and catch once again reminded people of the strong performance in the first four weeks of the regular season, winning wild cheers from the audience and truly showing the power of the home court.
Continuing this strength, Grossman showed a good passing level in the next offense. He made three short passes in a row, failed once and succeeded twice, and relied on the continuous advancement of the outside receiver to get the first offense. In the blink of an eye, the Redskins were in the red zone.
Finally, Grossman hands the football to the running back. Roy-Helu, the rookie player with the 105th pick in the fourth round this year, found a gap, completed an eight-yard run, successfully entered the end zone, and scored a touchdown!
After experiencing the pain of a clean sheet last week, the Washington Redskins became the first team to score a touchdown in this game, and the entire decline was wiped out. Not only was the running back He Lu who completed the touchdown, but also the quarterback's temperament. Rothman also clenched his fists and roared loudly in celebration, venting his depression and anguish heartily.
It seems that the so-called "battle of revenge" brought more pressure to Grossman than even the two parties involved, Lu Ke and Shanahan.
The home fans at FedEx Field were even more crazy. The Washington Redskins home jersey was burgundy, darker than the San Francisco 49ers’ home jersey. At this moment, the entire stadium was also a mighty burgundy color. Ocean, in this stadium that can accommodate 82,000 people, deeply felt the "malice" from the home fans.
However, this wave only lasted for less than a minute and ended abruptly.
Because Washington Redskins kicker Graham Gano actually missed the extra point.
The extra point was so close that he had it in hand, but Gano incredibly missed it! Facing the pressing pressure of the San Francisco 49ers' special teams, the Washington Redskins' forward line was shaky and precarious. Then you can see a player raising his hands high and making an action to intercept the kick. This forced Gano to slightly change the angle of his kick.
Then... there was no more, the football crossed the border of the goal and was kicked away. So, the extra point was gone.
Although it is incredible, such a situation still exists objectively in the game.
The scoring rate of extra points is infinitely close to 100%, but in fact, it is still not 100%. Someone is always prone to making mistakes, especially at critical moments in key games. In a duel that is extremely close and the game is extremely anxious, there are many people who lose the game because of an extra point.
A small point can sometimes be magnified to infinity.
The score on the field was "6:0", and the Washington Redskins were temporarily in the lead.
All the home fans were stunned. They couldn't believe that their special team had made such a mistake. The jaw-dropping shock was simply indescribable, but they didn't have much time to be upset and angry, because Lu Ke led the San Francisco 49ers to attack. The group appears again.
As a result, the fans temporarily let go of the kicker who made the mistake, and turned their attention to the opponent. The audience burst into boos and boos, with contempt and provocative eyes everywhere. They were doing their best to fight for their own. The home team creates more home field advantages and creates more obstacles for the visiting team. The boos are like a tsunami, coming from all directions and everywhere.
Unfortunately, the impact on Lu Ke was minimal.
