"kick off!"
"The Houston Texans' frontline pass rush communication had problems. The advance and retreat coordination of the defensive front and linebackers did not seem to be in sync with the same rhythm. They were not able to break through the San Francisco 49ers' pocket protection at the first time and only completed the pressure. , This doesn’t seem to have any impact on Lu Ke!”
"Observe! Lu Ke is still observing! Lu Ke is standing in the passing pocket, not panicking at all! But he never takes a shot and is still observing the passing target!"
"At least five players have gathered in the short passing area, and now the scene is in chaos! Lu Ke takes action! Just when the pressure on the pocket is about to reach its peak, Lu Ke takes action quickly! The tactical intention of the Houston Texans' defensive front line cannot be realized. , creating a passing time difference!"
"The passing target is..."
"Whoa! Wait, whoa! Take something out of the fire!"
"Logan Newman grabbed the football while surrounded by three players! This catch was really amazing! Without his center of gravity, the 49ers' No. 88 body stretched to the extreme and used one hand to Making the catch, God, it was incredible! Newman was still pushing!"
"Missed the grapple!"
"One more missed tackle!"
"One more missed tackle!"
"God! Logan Newman's footsteps have already broken through the 40-yard line in the opponent's half! He is still advancing! The Houston Texans' defensive second line has completely lost its position. They have done nothing about Lu Ke's offensive tactics. There was a misjudgment, and now Logan Newman has won a space to advance without backcourt protection!”
"Thirty yards!"
"Twenty yards!"
"Catching up! Shiloh Kehoe successfully caught up! He tackled Newman! But...Jesus Christ! Ten yards! Logan Newman still didn't stop! He fell to the ground! Newman finally fell to the ground It's close! Near the five-yard line!"
"God!"
"Oh, God!"
"We need to watch the video replay! This is a very, very dangerous pass. The height, power, distance and arc control are all out of position. This is not the No. 14 we are familiar with. This pass did not face too many challenges. There was a lot of passing pressure, but there was a huge deviation in Lu Ke’s passing accuracy.”
"However, Logan Newman turned the bad into a miracle! He relied on his strong physical fitness to forcefully take this pass that was originally impossible to complete! Incredible! Last season, he became the league's top tight end Front man Logan Newman once again proved his strength with a wonderful catch! It may even be one of the best catches this week!"
"Starting from the 49ers' fifteen-yard line, they attacked all the way to the Texans' seven-yard line. This was a seventy-eight-yard long advance! It's been a long time coming!"
"For the past three weeks, San Francisco's offense has never been able to easily open up the game. It has been like trudging through a quagmire. The team that has been running a smooth offense in the past two seasons is obviously in trouble, but Now, the familiar feeling is finally back again! I hope this is a positive sign!”
…
Logan stood up again and licked his dry lips. He was panting like a cow, but his eyes were completely focused. You could clearly see that the flames of war had been ignited. He kept raising his hands to fan the atmosphere of the home fans. , causing the cheers and cheers at Candlestick Stadium to rise steadily.
This battle has just begun!
Logan raised his hand and threw the football to the referee, then turned around and walked towards the oncoming offensive teammates, bypassing the celebrations of Vernon, Gene and others, and looked towards the landing with resolute and burning eyes. Ke has projected the past, no need for words, practical actions are already the best declaration.
"Don't worry, we will fight side by side!"
Marcus and Gene also understood what Logan meant immediately, and they both nodded in agreement, with determination in their eyes.
For most of the past two seasons, Lu Ke has directed the team to ride the wind and waves and move forward with near-perfect performance. Now that Lu Ke has just returned from injury and still needs time to adjust and adapt, it is their turn to make up for it with their own performance. The deficiencies and shortcomings in offense, we firmly unite and fight side by side!
Ankuang Bolding still felt like an outsider, unable to understand the tacit understanding and friendship forged after experiencing countless hardships and obstacles, but he could vaguely feel that the high morale seemed to be more and more united, and the state of unity was strong. , reminded him of the atmosphere in the Baltimore Ravens last season when Ray Lewis was about to retire after announcing the end of the season.
Involuntarily, Boulding cast his gaze towards Lu Ke.
Lu Ke seemed to be aware of the scorching gaze. He turned his head reflexively and cast a questioning look: Didn't you understand the tactical code?
Boldin waved his hands repeatedly, took a quick deep breath, and refocused his attention. During the game, it is taboo to lose focus. Then he followed his teammates to complete the formation.
This is a red zone play at the seven-yard line in front of the end zone.
Both the offensive and defensive sides have made corresponding adjustments - the San Francisco 49ers have adopted a multi-line offensive pistol formation; while the Houston Texans have deployed their troops according to circumstances.
The three defensive linemen are still at the forefront.
The position of the linebackers was disrupted and moved laterally towards the Texans' left wing - because the 49ers had three receivers on the right wing, they made corresponding adjustments, so the entire station The positions become different: the outside linebackers and inside linebackers originally belonging to the right wing came to the center, facing vertically with the defensive front, and were responsible for marking the running back; while the outside linebackers and inside linebackers originally belonging to the left wing joined forces with the cornerbacks. It presents an irregular inverted triangle position, corresponding to three receiving players.
One safety guard stood behind the inverted triangle, close to the center area on the inside; the other safety guard stepped back about three yards and stood in the center area, waiting for an opportunity.
The last cornerback stood on the right wing of the Texans, facing off against Vernon Davis on the left wing of the 49ers.
It can be clearly noticed that the offensive and defensive positions of both teams have been severely tilted, stacked towards the right wing of the 49ers, both in the frontcourt and backcourt; in addition, they were originally standing in the red zone. , the crowding situation became even more serious. The space of about seventeen yards was densely packed with people.
After reading the defense, Lu Ke stood up straight and moved from the pistol formation to the "I" formation, but he was the only one who changed his position. Marcus still stood seven yards behind him. It has become an improved pistol formation, and it seems that the entire offensive focus is shifting towards the ground.
"calm down!"
Watt stood on tiptoe and raised his voice to remind his teammates, signaling them not to be disrupted by Lu Ke's position.
In this off-season, in the video released on the league's top 100 star list, Watt mentioned this matter in an interview: Don't be attracted by Lu Ke's changes on the field, otherwise you will easily fall into a trap. , Lu Ke is always calculating during the defensive reading process, and the calculation ability of the defensive team cannot keep up with Lu Ke.
"calm!"
Watt shouted again, and then he stared at Lu Ke with all his attention, took a deep breath, and tensed up all the muscles in his body, and then heard Lu Ke's kick-off command.
The legs placed behind him kicked the ground hard, and the force that burst out in an instant was like a propeller, pushing Watt's body directly out, and he rushed up with the sound of a cannon being ejected from the chamber, but he stared at Lu Ke intently from the corner of his eyes. This move pave the way for your subsequent defensive actions.
Then, Watt saw Lu Ke quickly turn around and hand the football to Marcus.
Run the ball offense!
Lu Ke actually chose to run the ball and attack. Although this was a reasonable tactical choice, Watt still felt a little strange for some reason. However, this was just an alertness with a sense of crisis. During the electric game, that kind of intuition could not be thought about at all. He pushed his body forward with his feet and rushed forward, facing Joe Stanley and Mike Lupa. Tee!
Oops!
Watt made his judgment immediately!
So far, this is the third offense and defense. In two of them, Stanley and Rupadi teamed up to guard Watt. This can be seen as the key care that Watt encountered after he completed the sack for the first time. It can also be seen as the focus of San Francisco in this game. The 49ers made full preparations - using two players to fight against one player, sacrificing one player's matchup, and then cutting off Watt's activity to provide more solid pocket protection for Lu Ke.
This is not surprising!
The strange thing is the way Stanley and Rupadi defend, their actions are not to open but to block.
How to explain it?
If this is a ground attack, then the offensive line must clear the way and create a runway for the running back. There is no way to create opportunities for the running back just by blocking. Of course, during the specific game, the offensive line's Opening a path also depends on whether the defensive front agrees. In a confrontation, it may not be possible to successfully open a path, but this is another matter; the problem now is that the offensive front is not prepared to open a path at all, but only blocks.
Stanley and Rupati were like a wall, blocking Watt's impact movement, but did not push away Watt's position.
what does that mean?
Is it a fake run and a real pass?
Then Watt confirmed his suspicion:
From the corner of your eye, you can catch the movement of the red jerseys around you. Obviously, the momentum of the red figure's full pressure far exceeded expectations, and the entire red torrent had crossed Watt's position line.
This also means that the receiving player has no intention of opening the way!
This is a red zone offense, which does not require the forward pull of the receiving player to take away the defensive player, because the forward area is really limited, and more tactical route running is needed to create space for the running back. They are also part of the path opening. ; But now, the receiving players have also moved forward, which has become an important basis for Watt's comprehensive judgment.
Damn it! be cheated!
