Russell Wilson sent the second interception of the game, which allowed the San Francisco 49ers offense to once again win an excellent offensive starting position: the thirty-five yard line of the half, not the 49ers half but the sea The Eagles were at halftime, which also meant that there were only thirty-five yards left from the end zone.
At the critical moment of the strong confrontation, the Seattle Seahawks' weaknesses were exposed.
On the one hand, Russell is just a rookie quarterback. Amid the fierce confrontation of the defensive team, the power of the passing attack still needs to grow; on the other hand, the explosive growth of the Legion this season is very rapid, but the team The overall strength is still relatively weak, and the foundation is still not deep enough.
After the game restarted in the second half, the Seattle Seahawks' offense already felt the overwhelming pressure rolling down on them in layers.
This was the case in the first wave of offense, but thanks to the trick attack during the punt process, morale was raised again, and the score was successfully achieved; and now the situation in the second wave of offense has become more serious and tense, and unfortunately it ended with The interception ended, which also put the team into a dangerous situation again.
For Pete Carroll, who is good at defense, how many offensive cards can he show now?
However, before Carroll can use his box-pressing stunt, the Seattle Seahawks defense must take the lead in facing another wave of offense from the 49ers' offense. This is a defense that cannot retreat, and they must toughen up!
…
Standing on the 35-yard line, the San Francisco 49ers offense still maintained a high morale.
Ted Ginn appeared again, replacing Randy Moss, who needed to adjust his physical strength. Then the offensive formation once again became the familiar two by two, with Crabtree partnering Vernon on the left and Ginn on the right. Partnered with Logan, a basic offensive formation of a wide receiver and a tight end, both wings are strong sides.
Ten yards in first gear.
The four receiving players are all rushing forward very quickly. Gene runs a deep route, Logan runs an inside goal route, Vernon runs forward and turns around to receive the ball, and Crabtree runs an outside short passing route... …
The entire running route was dazzling and unpredictable, completely spread out on the entire green field; the only thing in common was that the running momentum of the four people was extremely fierce and powerful, and they made catching movements in different postures. Every receiving player successfully formed a one-on-one offensive and defensive confrontation pattern, creating space for receiving the ball.
At this moment, Marcus, who was on the left, also rushed out, not from a slot, but to the middle of the left wing. Then he rushed forward in a straight line, and after about three or four yards, he headed towards He quickly rushed forward from the outside and diagonally forward. This action exposed Lu Ke's offensive tactics——
Because Marcus' screen action for Crabtree was so obvious. Sure enough, the running back is not a tight end after all, and his tactical intentions are still too easy to expose.
Brandon Browner, the cornerback who was guarding him, reacted immediately. He took a step forward and blocked Crabtree's position. Then he saw the football passed by Lu Ke out of the corner of his eyes. "Shadow behind the shoulder." The shadow of "pass" began to hang over Browner's head. At the critical moment, he chose to tackle.
According to the rules, it is a foul to prevent the opponent from completing the ball by grabbing or pulling the player before the player has completed the ball, and is uniformly considered "pass interference".
Browner tackled Crabtree from behind, like a long-lost lover, inseparable.
In the previous wave of offense, Crabtree's two personal catches directly resulted in touchdowns, which also made him one of the key defensive targets. Bronner did not dare to neglect.
Crabtree was about to turn around and complete the ball, but he was tightly controlled in his arms, and then he could only watch the football fly over his head.
Pass incomplete.
Crabtree spread his hands innocently and looked at the referee with question marks. After seeing the yellow flag entering the field, he helplessly shrugged his shoulders, as if to say, "I don't know what's going on."
Due to a pass interference foul, the San Francisco 49ers automatically won the first down, advancing directly from the 35-yard line to the 25-yard line.
Another ten yards in first gear.
After kicking off, Lu Ke quickly turned around and made a fake handover towards Marcus, but his steps only stopped slightly, then turned to the right, raised his right hand and made a passing motion. , at this time, both Logan and Gene had already rushed out a route respectively. This series of smooth movements were completed in one go, as if they had formed a system of their own, without any hesitation at all.
Just one Lu Ke was enough to attract the attention of at least five players, but then they realized: Lu Ke did not have a football in his right hand.
This is not a fake run but a fake run.
The initial fake handover was actually a real handover, but the fake handover between Lu Ke and Marcus successfully fooled most of the defensive players.
To be more precise, Lu Ke's offensive tactics are the real magic trick. The tactics between passing and running the ball are always switching, with no rules and rules, forcing the defensive players to not be distracted at all. If you are not careful, you may miss the tactical changes.
After Marcus held the ball, he quickly rushed forward to the left, bypassing the entanglement between the offensive and defensive fronts, and creating a small gap for advancement; however, at this time, the Seattle Seahawks defensive team's cleverness It showed up right away. Bobby Wagner, the inside linebacker who was responsible for marking the running back, never lost his mind. His attention was firmly locked on the running back and he reacted immediately.
Wagner's lateral sprint collided with Marcus head-on, and finally controlled Marcus' ground advancement to five yards, avoiding more losses.
If it were another defensive team or other defensive tactics, the result of this flash might be a direct loss of a running ball for a touchdown.
However, Wagner's timely stop loss did not bring much convenience. The San Francisco 49ers' ground offensive efficiency is still steadily improving and slowly regaining its status; the Seattle Seahawks' watertight ground defense is now bearing more and more pressure. A powerful impact, and the defensive efficiency is obviously not comparable to the first half.
After Marcus completed a ball run, he came off the field again, and Gower took the rotation. This also means that Lu Ke may still choose to attack on the ground in the second offense.
Second gear five yards.
When preparing to kick off for the first time, Lu Ke interrupted his chanting and temporarily modified his tactics.
When preparing to kick off for the second time, Lu Ke shouted slogans to the left and right sides without warning, seemingly modifying his tactics again, and then turned back again to prepare for the kickoff.
Then you can see Ted Jean, who was standing on the outermost right wing, running back swaying, and the entire station became extremely crowded——
On the right wing are three receivers, Crabtree, Logan and Ginn.
There was only one step between Logan and Crabtree, but the two people were staggered forward, backward, left and right. Crabtree's left toe was pointed at the heel of Logan's right foot, and the two people looked at each other. The seemingly staggered and overlapping positions are very confusing; moreover, Logan standing on the inside is only two steps away from Alex Boone on the far right of the offensive line.
Gene's position was originally on the outside of the right wing, standing parallel to Crabtree, about five or six yards apart; not far away was the opposing defensive cornerback Sherman.
The position of the Seahawks defensive team is to block their own position, not to target the players. Sherman is responsible for defending the outer area on his left side, which is the opponent's right side. If Logan appears here, he will face Logan. Root; if Jean appears here, then he will defend Jean.
But now, Gene is running towards the inside, his position is still parallel to Crabtree, but his position is squeezed between Logan and Boone, and then the three receiving players are like a three-hole socket. They were tightly packed together, huddled into a small ball, looking pitiful, in sharp contrast to Vernon on the other side who occupied the entire space alone.
Sherman hesitated for a moment, quickly exchanged glances with his teammates, and then followed Gene to the inside of the slot and continued to defend Gene. In this way, other teammates can still execute the defense according to the original framework without the need for on-the-spot changes, thereby avoiding disrupting the plan.
Because the defensive team no longer has time to rearrange their layout.
"attack!"
This time it’s a real kickoff! In just forty seconds, Lu Ke modified his tactics twice to confuse the audience, and now he finally announced the kickoff.
With the kickoff call, the five players on the offensive line collectively moved laterally to the left; not just them, it should be said that the entire San Francisco 49ers offensive team was moving laterally to the left: Lu Ke, Gall and the right side. Of the three receiving players, all eleven players appear to be moving in the same direction.
I say "seems" because Vernon on the left is the only exception.
He took two big steps forward, immediately crossing the position of the offensive line and defensive line, and then quickly moved laterally to the right along the gap between the defensive line and the linebacker.
However, amid the overwhelming momentum of movement, Vernon's movements failed to attract much attention. Even the defensive cornerback Brandon Browner focused all his attention on the "eleven people." This also allowed Vernon to pass through smoothly without being hindered or hit too much.
Behind Vernon was a whole wave of people passing by, because the San Francisco 49ers' lateral movement was too sudden and too fierce, completely beyond the expectations of the Seattle Seahawks defensive team, and then the pattern of offensive and defensive mismatches was easily formed - —Defensive end Bruce Irvin, who is standing on the far left side of the Seahawks and the far right side of the 49ers, is alone!
what does that mean?
This means that the San Francisco 49ers' frontline matchup has a numerical advantage.
