"Running back!"
"Running back!"
"Running back!"
When Cam Newton stood on the court, the entire Candlestick Stadium resounded with thunderous cheers, and even his knees could clearly feel the slightly vibrating air waves.
Obviously, this was a complaint and even more humiliating. The fans in the audience unitedly launched an attack on Cam in this way. It was not just as simple as adding salt to the wound, but also directly opening the wound with a dagger that had not had time to heal. Then he stabbed the wound with the blade of the knife, stirring it vigorously again and again.
The special treatment that only mortal enemies in the same district can enjoy is now imposed on Cam's shoulders, surging like a roaring waterfall; but Cam is not "flattered", and the raging anger begins to rise in his chest. He exploded and gritted his teeth to prevent himself from losing control of his emotions. Raising his head and looking at the vast and turbulent red ocean in front of him, Cam spit hard on the ground and then called his teammates together.
He will repay all the humiliation he suffered at this moment in the game!
It can be seen from the first wave of offense that the Carolina Panthers came prepared. They did not use their number one running back DeAngelo Williams as the starter, but used their number two running back Guard Mike Tolbert.
DeAngelo and Torbert are both veterans. The former was a first-round pick in 2006, and the latter was an undrafted pick in 2008. Their playing styles are somewhat similar but more different. Their heights are exactly the same, but their weights are different. There is a difference of nearly 40 pounds (about 20 kilograms). DeAngelo is lighter and good at finding gaps and loopholes; while Torbert is heavier and good at advancing in positional warfare.
The Carolina Panthers chose Tobert to start, just to make adjustments to the San Francisco 49ers defense.
In the first half of this year, the San Francisco 49ers' defensive team's state has declined significantly. First, it is because the depth of the bench lineup has suffered heavy losses in the offseason. Second, because the main lineup has always been plagued by injuries-not serious injuries that miss games. It is a minor injury that affects his condition and performance.
This has also caused serious ups and downs in the performance of the 49ers' defensive team. On the defensive front, the performance of Ray McDonald and Justin Smith has dropped significantly; and on the linebackers, only Ahmed Brooks is now available. Struggling to support, Navarro Bowman and Patrick Willis both suffered a sharp decline in performance due to injuries. Coupled with Aldon Smith's absence, the intensity of frontcourt pressure and short pass defense has plummeted.
The loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the second week of the regular season was very intuitive. Although Aldon was still on the court at the time, the defensive front was unable to exert enough pressure on the offensive front. As a result, the ground defense and pass rushing tactics were affected. , so that the entire defensive intensity could not keep up with the rhythm and could not contain the performance of Marshawn Lynch and Russell Wilson.
Although Mike Torbert cannot be compared with Marshawn Lynch, the two men's hard-hitting ground advancement styles have many similarities, which can also be seen in the offensive tactical intentions of the Carolina Panthers.
Facts also prove Ron Rivera's cleverness: because running the ball is inherently a conspiracy, fighting a bloody path head-on, even if the opponent's defensive team sees through the tactical intention, the running back can still rely on his own ability to complete the advancement. This was originally a head-on collision between a hard bridge and a hard horse.
Although Torbert's start can be said to be what Jim Hubble expected, in the actual game, the two sides still need to rely on their strength and state to speak for themselves.
After the opening, Cam handed the football to Torbert twice in a row. The first time he pushed the wall and advanced five yards, and the second time he shook off the tackle and found a gap and advanced eleven yards. , like a heavy hammer, hitting a gap in the home team's defensive barrier one after another.
Immediately afterwards, Cam opened up the situation with a read option offense. A five-yard short pass found tight end Craig Olsen (Greg Olsen), and a Torbert ground ball ran away from two tackles to advance to ten points. Five yards and one run with the ball on his own for six yards.
From a tactical level, read option offense is the overall model; but from an execution level, Cam has shown great progress this season:
Three times in a row, he accurately read the defensive team's tactical intentions, using the space behind the linebacker position to allow Tobert to complete a large number of yards; he also took advantage of the opportunity for the defensive end to step forward to attack in advance. The football is passed out or handed to Torbert, and the entire offensive rhythm has been significantly improved.
This is the importance of defensive reads. This is the way Lu Ke is best at playing, and now Cam has gradually formed his own playing style. Outsiders can't see the difference in details; but insiders can immediately feel Cam's maturity and growth.
If Willis or Aldon are still in their best form, they can often make on-the-spot adjustments based on Cam's changes, or they can change their tactical layout in advance and use their own personal abilities to break Cam's defensive read. Anticipate and then complete the defensive task.
Unfortunately, Willis and Aldon are not in the best condition - the four opponents in the past four weeks are obviously not as dangerous as the team in front of them today. Is this game a test for the San Francisco 49ers defense?
In just five offensive possessions, Cam had already led the Carolina Panthers into the San Francisco 49ers' half and reached the thirty-six-yard line. Although five of them all came from the ground, the smoothness and sharpness of the entire offense really stood out, further showing that the visiting team was well prepared.
After missing defensive opportunities one after another, the San Francisco 49ers defense finally increased its intensity.
First, Aldon and Ahmed issued pass rush pressure without warning, forcing Cam's pass to go off the board, causing the pass to be incomplete; then, Navarro-Bowman teammate Justin Smith intercepted Tolbert's ground advance was stopped; in the end, when Cam tried to advance with the ball on the ground, three defensive players double-teamed him in time, knocking Cam down in front of the first offensive line.
Four gears and one yard.
The San Francisco 49ers finally struck out for the first time today, but the Carolina Panthers bravely chose to force a fourth down, and once again relied on Torbert's unreasonable ground push to gain a yard. , completed the fourth-speed conversion.
Standing on the 26-yard line of the San Francisco 49ers' half, with ten yards on first down, Cam set up a multi-line offensive formation. After the kickoff, he made a short screen pass, but he swayed and passed from the right. The direction of the side multi-line route turned to the position of the left single-line route, and ignoring his own receiver, he passed a six-yard short pass and found running back Torbert who ran out in an arc from the outside.
Tolbert completely avoided the position of the defensive players and cut a gap neatly. After receiving the ball, he was chased and intercepted by three defensive players. He ran and collided all the way, bumping into the safety guard. Ed Reed, dragging cornerback Carroll Rogers with him, stumbled into the end zone.
Touchdown!
Standing in the pocket, Cam clenched his hands into fists and kept beating his chest. While gesturing to his No. 1 jersey, he roared wildly and wantonly. His gushing momentum greeted the red audience. Haiyang released it passionately, letting go of all his grievances and depressions.
This is his response!
Nine offensive plays, 4 minutes and 31 seconds, 80 yards, and a touchdown pass!
Although the absolute hero of this wave of offense was running back Torbert - he advanced a full 63 yards by himself; but the initiator behind everything was Cam, who proved in another way own growth and maturity! No matter how others question or curse, he can always give the most powerful counterattack!
Cam quickly rushed into the end zone and roared at the fans in the stands, "Did you see it? Did you see it? This is just the beginning! I'm going to massacre you! I said, I'm going to kill you today I’m going to massacre you! You bunch of rubbish! Do you see the consequences now? Ah? How is it? How does it taste? Do you enjoy it very much?"
The fans also fought back on the spot without showing any signs of weakness, and the overwhelming curses were vented like a torrential rain. For a while, the scene was very ugly and ugly. If it weren't for other Carolina Panthers players holding Cam tightly, a physical conflict would have broken out directly.
Not far away, Aldon stood angrily, with his hands on his waist, his head hanging down, and he was grinding his teeth viciously.
After returning from a three-game absence, Aldon won a valuable starting opportunity - mainly because the San Francisco 49ers' defensive team's injuries were a real headache. Michael Weihout, who had performed well after coming on as a substitute, He was unable to sustain a high-profile performance, and was then moved to the inside linebacker position by Hubble as a rotation player for Willis; Aldon, who was not troubled by injuries, became the starter again.
But after the start of today's game, he was severely trampled/trampled back and forth by his opponent in his own territory - not to mention other things, in the last touchdown pass just now, he obviously made a major mistake of focusing on people. By focusing on Cam's movements, he missed the opportunity to defend Torbert immediately.
Aldong stood there, barely able to raise his head. He did not dare to meet Lu Ke's gaze, for fear of seeing a look of disappointment, and he did not know how to explain it.
In the end, Willis walked over quickly and patted the back of Aldon's helmet, "The game has just begun. We should believe in Bambi, and then we should repay Bambi's trust, what do you think?"
Aldon looked up, and then he saw Lu Ke, who was standing on the sidelines greeting the return of the defensive team with a smile. He high-fived every player in celebration without wavering at all. His determined eyes made Aldon's irritability disappear quietly.
