"Dear viewers, the second half of this week's Monday Night Game is about to officially ignite the war. After the first half of the close-quarters fighting, both sides will now enter a stage of full acceleration. So, Jon, what do you think? What adjustments should the two teams make in the second half?" Teddy is still the one who guides.
Jon Gruden, the former head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, became a commentator after resigning in 2009, and now continues to be active in the public eye as a commentator for Monday Night Games. Last season, he explained the chicken soup battle between the San Francisco 49ers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. His interpretation of the defense is undoubtedly authoritative.
Today, Gruden once again joins Teddy and Kirk as a play-by-play commentator. During the halftime break, Gruden's opinions became an important reference standard. After all, he is a senior head coach and has a first-hand authoritative perspective on the team's tactical adjustments.
Gruden was not polite and took over the conversation directly, "Judging from the score alone, '20:3', this seems to be a one-sided game, and the game is very boring, but the audience who actually watched the game will know , On the contrary, the first half of the game was very rich in content, and the interplay between offense and defense was really exciting.”
"After entering the second half, for the Chicago Bears, they need to open up the situation on the offensive end. Jay Cutler's passing options need to be more diverse and richer, otherwise they will only rely on Brandon Marshall and Matt Folt. With two points, they cannot tear apart the opponent's defense.
In fact, the overall performance of the San Francisco 49ers defensive team today was not perfect. Their second-line defense was still unable to guard Marshall, but the Chicago Bears' offensive tactics failed to seize the opportunity, which led to the team being in trouble. . The top priority is that Cutler must play out his offensive tactics. "
"For the San Francisco 49ers, the focus is actually on the offense.
There is no doubt that they were the side that took the lead in the first half, but the performance of the receiving players was far from being adjusted to the best. No. 33 Charles Tillman of the Chicago Bears is still the most shining player among the two teams. With four effective tackles and one missed pass, he intercepted the opponent almost by himself. After that, the problem Lu Ke faces now is——
How should the team's offensive team achieve a breakthrough? "
In a few words, Gruden had already figured out the key points of the matter, and then Teddy turned his attention to Kirk.
Kirk nodded in agreement, "That's true. The first half of the game is actually a contest between the defensive teams; and the same is true for the second half of the game, but if both sides want to break the situation, the offensive team is a crucial link. It just depends on which of the two teams can perform stronger and seize the opportunity to attack."
While talking, the second half of the game began.
Because the San Francisco 49ers were the first to attack in the first half, the Chicago Bears offense took the lead in the second half.
After halftime adjustments, the Chicago Bears' offense significantly increased its intensity in the second half, and Cutler made full use of his strengths -
The reason why he is able to firmly hold the position of the Bears' starting quarterback is because his passing and running are above average. Yes, it is above the league average!
Although interceptions are the biggest problem in Cutler's career, in fact, further analysis of the data shows that Cutler's judgment in crisis situations is prone to deviations, between hesitation and hesitation, or mistakes in reading the defense, and then he It brought fatal results such as interception.
If you carefully observe Cutler's game data, you can find that when encountering high-intensity and high-pressure games such as divisional civil wars, rivalry matchups, or night game live broadcasts, his turnover rate continues to increase; and he returns to daily games. , he still made mistakes, but they were already within the acceptable range.
In other words, passing decisions under high-pressure situations are often hesitant. This is Cutler's biggest drawback. But putting this aside, he is very good in terms of passing accuracy, occupying the layout, and timing of the quarterback running with the ball, and can even be said to be excellent.
The halftime break seemed to finally allow Cutler's brain to calm down, and his performance soared.
He passed the ball twice, ran the ball twice and ran with the ball twice. In less than two minutes, Cutler led the offensive team to the half-court line with a high-frequency and efficient offensive push.
The crisp shots and simple and bright tactics have improved the entire offensive rhythm. You can vaguely see the offensive style of the San Francisco 49ers; and the Chicago Bears can go one step further and use an unpreventable read option offense to disrupt the opponent's everything at critical moments. Defensive layout.
The powerful offensive is really eye-catching.
This is Cutler's ability, which must not be underestimated! The side also confirms Gruden's pre-match analysis and comments. The defensive team is still the protagonist on the court, but if you want to change the situation, you must rely on the improved state of the offensive team.
In the next attack, the San Francisco 49ers defense once again burst out with amazing energy. In addition to the five defensive front players, two outside linebackers, Aldon Smith and Ahmed Brooks, also stepped forward. , all of a sudden seven players are committed to blitzing the quarterback, tearing open the pocket almost in the first second of contact.
Then, the "Smith duo" of Aldon Smith and Justin Smith had successfully forced Cutler into a blind corner. The two men completed sacks one on the left and one on the right, forcing Cutler to the ground. Seven yards behind the line of scrimmage, relying on sacks to create yardage losses.
Brooks arrived soon after.
what does that mean? This means that the entire offensive line of the Chicago Bears has been torn to pieces, without any chance to fight back. There was a howl of wolves in the pocket, and at least three players fell to the ground. Like waves of wheat blown by the wind, the heavy wheat ears directly He fell to the ground and couldn't get up again.
After Aldon and Justin, who had jointly completed the sack, stood up again, they started a Viking war dance next to them. The roars once again triggered the collective roar of the Candlestick Stadium. The momentum was overwhelming and the momentum of the defensive team Finally came back.
"Wow! I mean, wow!"
In the studio, there were endless exclamations. Gruden quickly analyzed the tactics of attacking the quarterback just now. In fact, when Cutler kicked off the ball, the defensive team had already formed a misplaced collision, and he was caught off guard. Having exerted layers of pressure, it was easy to finally complete the sack.
"The San Francisco 49ers defensive team once again showed their strength. Now this defensive team has a luxurious lineup that makes people jealous in the front line raids and run defense. In today's game, they continued to go The test is becoming more and more severe for the Chicago Bears offense!"
"Wait a minute, something happened on the court, wait a minute."
Halfway through the commentary, Kirk was the first to notice the anomaly, quickly interrupted Gruden's words, and then cast all eyes on him, "Jay Cutler, God, Cutler couldn't stand up."
"What happened just now? The referee did not throw a yellow flag, which means there was no foul. We did not see the specific circumstances of the matter, but Cutler is lying on the spot now. Was the impact too fierce? Or did it happen? What's the problem? Let's watch the video replay now."
After Cutler fell to the ground, he was unable to stand up. Finally, at the request of the Chicago Bears, Candlestick Stadium sent a battery cart and a stretcher, and after Cutler was loaded onto the battery cart, he walked away.
The fans at the scene did not know the specific situation. After the TV commentator asked about the situation, the truth of the matter was slowly recorded.
"Ah... suspected concussion." Gruden, Kirk and Teddy sighed at the same time. No matter what, injuries are the last thing people want to see. Wonderful games still require healthy players to devote hundreds of millions of dollars. Only with 100% condition and sparkling strong showdown can it be recorded in the annals of history.
"After Cutler just suffered a sack, he was unable to stand up. The joint sack of Aldon Smith and Justin Smith is undoubtedly one of the top partnerships in the entire league, but judging from the slow-motion replay, it does not seem to be particularly tough. The collision, but Cutler still suffered from concussion symptoms."
"After the examination, the team doctor did not let Cutler stand up for safety reasons, but sent a stretcher and a battery cart, but this still shows the seriousness of the situation; there is no further news from the Chicago Bears, and the details need to be We can only confirm it after the hospital’s examination.”
"This is the third quarterback to suffer a concussion this season. Michael Vick of the Philadelphia Eagles and Alex Smith of the Kansas City Chiefs have both suffered from concussions."
"By the way, Alex Smith just transferred to Kansas City from the San Francisco 49ers this season, but the Chiefs' offensive line and receiving team are really terrible. They are now at the bottom among the thirty-two teams in the league. In the team, Smith suffered consecutive hits and sacks, and finally suffered a concussion and was suspended for eight games. The return time has not been determined yet, which is really unfortunate. If the Chiefs want to revive, they still have a lot of things to transform."
"Returning to the Chicago Bears, regardless of Cutler's status, they must now send in the backup quarterback, Jason Campbell (Jason-Cambell), which is undoubtedly for the Bears who have just recovered their offensive status. It's a heavy blow, and the next games will be even more difficult. Obviously, the San Francisco 49ers will never relax their intensity."
"We can only hope that Cutler's condition is not too serious now, and that this game can continue to be exciting!"
