"Pass not completed!"
"Logan Newman failed to control his left foot and went out of bounds before he had complete control of the football. A very unfortunate pass! But it was an incomplete pass!"
Logan tried his best to control his feet within the sideline, but his attention was all on the catching action, and he had no time to pay attention to the detailed control of his footsteps. He could only make adjustments through instinct, but the defensive players were still very timely and ruthless. He knocked Logan out, further destroying his foot control. His toes barely dragged the grass on the ground, and the next second he flew out.
Staggering to control his steps - this side is where the Baltimore Ravens players are. They just avoided the position in a professional manner, but did not "save" Logan. Logan rushed forward a few steps, and in Just when his body was about to hit the fieldside barrier, he finished braking.
But Logan didn't have time to worry about his situation. He quickly turned around and looked at the referee, but he only got a sign indicating that the pass was not completed. He shook his head dejectedly. This was an expected result. Therefore, he didn't say much, stood up quickly, ran back to the team, and formed the formation again.
Lu Ke also shook his head slightly. The force and arc of the pass were a little too high. This was his fault. After the opening, I was still a little too excited, and the control of details was not perfect. Before Logan completed the ball, the pass was already suspected of going out of bounds, which made Logan's foot control more difficult, and the result of the incomplete pass was normal.
Quickly regaining his attention, Lu Ke called on the offensive team to complete the formation again.
Fifteen yards in second gear.
6 Ke handed the football to Marcus. This time it was a real ground attack, but the Baltimore Ravens defensive team was highly focused, and the linebacker stepped up very timely - Ray Lewis appeared for the first time in this game. In the camera, he firmly pressed Marcus to the ground!
After completing the grapple, Lewis made a Tarzan gesture, "Ho! Roar! Roar!" strongly declaring his presence. Although he had just returned from injury, standing on the stage of the ultimate decisive battle, he was definitely more than just Just a spectator, this Super Bowl war starts now.
Fifteen yards in third gear.
Quickly kicking off the ball, taking a quick shot, and passing the ball quickly, Lu Ke quickly found Crabtree in the short passing area and completed a five-yard short pass.
After Crabtree completed the ball, he staggered a little as he adjusted his steps and stumbled forward, but in the end he was tackled by two players and eventually fell to the San Francisco 49ers' 20. Above the five-yard line.
In other words, although Crabtree successfully advanced ten yards, he was penalized five yards due to the previous illegal formation. After all, they were still unable to complete the offensive transition.
In less than two minutes, the San Francisco 49ers' first wave of offense ended with a strikeout.
Obviously, this is not the scene that Lu Kehe fans expected to see: for two consecutive seasons, the San Francisco 49ers have been the most efficient team in the league in scoring in the first wave of offense, although this does not mean anything, because It is the fourth quarter rather than the opening that determines the outcome of the game; but it is undeniable that this plays an important role in improving the team's morale.
In the second half of this season, after experiencing the test of a long winning streak, the San Francisco 49ers' opening scoring efficiency dropped slightly, but standing on the Super Bowl stage, fans still hope to see a good start. But now, a little bit of surprise, a little bit of excitement, a little bit of misalignment, and then the offensive team struck out and didn't even complete a single attack.
This... is indeed a bit disappointing.
The opening of the A-level bowl seemed to be over before I had time to breathe and adjust. The uniqueness of this final battle gradually emerged.
Everyone thinks that the Super Bowl is unique, but Lu Ke keeps convincing himself that the Super Bowl is just a game and he needs to treat it with a normal mind. Now it seems that "everyone" was right.
Overall, in addition to the yellow flag foul caused by the low-level mistakes of the San Francisco 49ers offense, which was completely unexpected, the Baltimore Ravens defense also initially showed why they can stand on the Super Bowl stage. They played well on the defensive front and short passing game. The area exerted tremendous pressure and gained more advantages in offensive and defensive confrontations, continuing the style of the past few seasons.
It’s not just the sudden explosion in the playoffs this season. In fact, over the past few years, the Baltimore Ravens defense has been able to occupy an important position in the highly competitive league. To become a disruptor outside the three traditional strong teams in the American League, hard power cannot be underestimated. In addition to "Thor" Lewis, the defensive team still has a profound foundation.
You can simply think that this is a Wengkou defensive team.
If the defensive team is divided into four lines, defensive front, linebacker, cornerback and safety, then the Baltimore Ravens' second line and fourth line are undoubtedly at the top level of the league, like a deep urn, with a huge opening and a tight bottle. , the belly of the bottle is empty and the bottom of the bottle is thick, firmly intercepting the attack at the mouth and bottom of the bottle.
On the defensive front, the Baltimore Ravens adopt a "3-4" formation, a combination of three defensive fronts and four linebackers, but they have the same purpose as the Seattle Seahawks' defensive front. The functions and tasks of the defensive front and linebackers Often confused, the "3-4" and "4-3" formations are constantly switching, constantly messing with the quarterback's judgment.
However, the two defensive teams have different priorities.
The Seahawks' strength lies in their ground defense, which is like a wall that intercepts all ground impacts and cuts off one of the quarterback's offensive methods, forcing the quarterback to challenge his own explosive team; while the Ravens' strength is His ability to rush passers, sacks and pressure is among the best in the league, and he disrupts the opponent's offensive layout by putting pressure on the quarterback.
On top of the defensive line, there are a'ake-keeatu (a'ake-keeatu), defensive ends Halodi Ngata and Arthur Jones (arthur-jnes).
This is a very mature and experienced forward line. Kemoetwu was an undrafted rookie in 2002. He started his career with the Ravens and went full circle. He returned to the Ravens this offseason; Ngata was an undrafted rookie in 2006. This is his seventh season with the Ravens as the twelfth overall pick of the year; Arthur, the youngest, was a fifth-round pick in 2010 and is currently on the rise.
Among them, Ngata is the star on the defensive front. He has been nominated for the Pro Bowl for four consecutive years. He is 63 feet (193 cm) and 345 pounds (156 kg) on the blind side of the quarterback. His run defense ability is top-notch; at the same time, , when executing quarterback rushing tactics, although his steps are not flexible, he can often use his huge body to form a matchup advantage, crush the opponent's offensive left tackle, and achieve breakthroughs.
Compared with his peak season in 2010, Ngata's footsteps and positioning have obviously declined. Now he relies more on his own body to complete defense, losing his initiative and mobility in rushing passes. You can see his ratings this season. He has declined significantly, but his strong body still possesses strong interception ability. He is still the core figure on the defensive front.
Above the linebackers, four-time Pro Bowl player Terrell Suggs and rookie Courtney Upshaw (Urtney-Upsha) partnered on the outside, and former three-time Pro Bowl veteran Brayden Ayanbadejo ( brendn-ayanbadej) partners with Ray Lewis to stay on the inside.
Undoubtedly, this is the core and soul of the team's defensive team!
The Baltimore Ravens' regular season has been stumbling all the way this season. The fundamental reason is that the condition of the linebackers has declined rapidly. The impact of injuries and status are clearly visible. Three of the four linebackers are famous in the league. Among the famous players, even the youngest Terrell Suggs is already a veteran who entered the league in 2003.
At the peak of their form, the Ravens' linebackers were undoubtedly a feared defensive line in the league: they could change their positions at any time, or go up to rush the pass, or drop back to help defend short passes, and they were able to do both. The defense burst out with powerful energy.
When rushing forward to pass the ball, both the outside and the inside have strong ability to break the formation, and can always tear apart the pocket protection of the opponent's offensive line and put pressure on the quarterback; when helping to defend short passes, the four sides All players have the tough ability to start positional battles with tight ends, and can always reduce the loss of short passes in the first place.
For two consecutive years in the American League finals, Tom Brady, the "King of Short Passes", was embarrassed. He relied on the short pass coverage ability of the linebackers, and then forced the quarterback to take risks with long passes - and the Ravens' safety guards did exactly that. They are the top in the league; at the same time, in last year's regular season victory over the 49ers, the linebackers' ability to rush the ball and pressure also made many achievements. They sacked Liu Ke nine times, but it was hard for him to stand alone, showing their foundation in the league.
It is no exaggeration to say that the state and performance of the linebackers largely determine the operation of the entire defensive group.
In comparison, the Baltimore Ravens put more pressure on the frontline defense, shortening the quarterback's shot time, and even being under pressure at all times; at the same time, the linebackers can always make accurate predictions in advance and try their best to Reduce the reception and advancement efficiency of the tight end or wide receiver, so that the defensive front is always in a state of turbulence.
In the first wave of offense and defense just above the Super Bowl, in addition to the 49ers' own illegal formation, the subsequent three offenses and defenses were all centered on linebackers: short passing areas forced Logan to go out of bounds, running ball interceptions After stopping Marcus, Crabtree immediately stepped forward to complete the tackle after receiving the ball.
The three defenses all used the linebackers as the hub for scheduling. After the intensity and speed exploded, pressure was applied bit by bit, forcing the offensive team to be more refined and accurate. The slightest deviation would directly strike out. You can feel the strong dominance from the linebackers from the front.
