So far in this game, the Arizona Cardinals defense has been creating smoke bombs, especially when facing the third-level defense:
All the defensive players collectively stepped forward to press forward, hoarding all their strength in the space within six or seven yards of the offensive line, creating a situation of intensive pressure and reducing the defensive team's ability in ground defense and sudden pass rush. The ability is released without reservation, and the threat of the entire hand-to-hand encounter is equivalent to putting a dagger against the opponent's neck and fighting closely. No offensive team dares to underestimate the ability of this defensive team.
But after the actual kick-off, the defensive team's formation quickly rebounded and scattered like a spring released. The entire defensive center of gravity began to tilt backward. The mid-pass and long-pass areas work together to cover the passing lanes.
It can be summed up simply, that is, using your strengths to form a threat, and after deterring the opponent with continuous heavy punches, restraining the opponent from making rash moves, and then focusing on making up for your own shortcomings.
This is a very targeted defensive strategy layout. Because the San Francisco 49ers are relatively weak on the ground and their passing offense is second to none in the entire league, even if the receivers are plagued by injuries, Lu Ke's presence is still the core offensive point that no one can despise.
It cannot be said to be smart but it can be said to be effective. At least this game is still valid so far - the San Francisco 49ers' scoreboard is still not open.
Hubble’s arrangements for ground attack tactics are still relatively conservative, but this cannot be blamed on Hubble’s rigid thinking:
Last season, Lu Ke's passing attack completely destroyed all sides, greatly reducing the pressure on the ground attack, and was able to contain the defensive force from the aerial attack level, thereby gaining space for ground advancement. This also made Marcus and Gao Er like a fish in water. Both contributed to an outstanding season.
This season's passing offense has been plagued by injuries, the pressure on ground offense has increased sharply, and the offensive level of capable balls has begun to increase. However, neither Marcus nor Gall can use their own strength like Marshawn Lynch or Adrian Peterson. The ability can eat away at the opponent's running style. They still need the offensive line to create more gaps for themselves. In the frontal dilemma, the two people's abilities are still lacking, which also makes the ground attack continue to be blocked.
In other words, the Arizona Cardinals defense has indeed strangled the lifeblood of the San Francisco 49ers.
However, as a quarterback who relies on tactical layout and smart games to gain a foothold in the league, Lu Ke knows one thing clearly: the ultimate goal of smoke bombs is to confuse the opponent, but when the opponent relaxes their vigilance, The trump card hidden behind the smoke bomb will appear.
The problem before Lu Ke now is that even though he knows that the opponent's forward defense is a smoke bomb, he cannot accurately judge whether this time it is a smoke bomb or a real operation. A little bit of negligence, the two sacks in the first quarter are the best proof that the defensive team in front of them will never miss the opportunity easily——
From a certain perspective, Lu Ke can be associated with the Seattle Seahawks. Their defensive frontline has the ability to make the offensive line at a loss.

But the difference is that the Seattle Seahawks are absolutely confident in their own strength, and can even be said to be arrogant, so they rarely use strategies and often head-on confrontation, which allows Lu Ke to make some predictions; The Arizona Cardinals' absolute strength is relatively insufficient, which also requires them to be more cunning and use strategies to accumulate advantages. The relationship between the virtual and the real, the real and the fake becomes ambiguous.
At this moment, although it was a second-and-four-yard attack instead of a third-and-conversion offense, the Arizona Cardinals defensive team was also keenly aware of Lu Ke's continuous rhythm changes, and the game scene underwent subtle changes; thus, the defensive team once again He used the smoke bomb that has been tried and tested today, trying to confuse Lu Ke's defensive reading and win more opportunities for the defensive team.
However, I wonder if the person in charge of calling tactics on the Arizona Cardinals defensive team has heard of a saying: If the same routine is used too often, it will easily expose flaws. A truly brilliant magician will never use it over and over again. The same set of magic tricks, but new tricks are constantly derived. Only in this way can we continue to survive.
Lu Ke knew that no matter how clever the smoke bomb was, there would still be flaws, especially if the opponent's eleven players jointly used a set of smoke bombs. If there was a mistake or omission in any link, it would be his opportunity. So all he has to do is be patient and read the defense.
Laws, laws, there must be laws hidden in such a formation!
Lu Ke's pupils shrank slightly. Why were the positions of safety guard Curtis Taylor and outside linebacker John Abraham misaligned?
To be precise, it is not a misalignment, because Abraham's position is still basically normal, maintaining a basically parallel position with the two inside linebackers, but slightly taking about half a step towards the outside; but because Abraham He took a small step out of his position, which also slightly opened up the gap between him and the inside linebacker. Then safety guard Curtis, who was supposed to be standing behind the linebackers, followed this path. Passage, quickly stepped forward, but instead came to a position one and a half steps in front of the parallel stance of the linebackers, thus changing the entire defensive stance.
In fact, with the entire Arizona Cardinals defensive team stepping up and applying full pressure, the positions of Abraham and Curtis cannot be considered strange. It is more about making full use of the field and integrating the vertical and horizontal depth of the entire defensive formation. They are all fully opened, creating more smoke bomb effects. When ten defensive players are all crowded in the short passing area, such a deviation in positioning is nothing.
But this is not the case for Lu Ke.
From the first wave of offense and defense to now, Lu Ke has completed defensive readings again and again. He is definitely not emptying his head. Every defensive reading is constantly observing the opponent's defensive position, making calculations and summarizing. Of course, every defensive formation is like a piece of loose sand, and it is impossible to judge the entire context and layout, but Lu Ke firmly believes that there is order in chaos, and defensive tactics can never be completely disordered like offensive tactics. Little by little, Lu Ke was able to capture a regular flow, but it is not yet certain whether it is completely correct, and further verification in the game is still needed.
The question that needs to be thought about now is, is the position change of Abraham and Curtis part of a smoke bomb? Did the defensive team deliberately let Lu Ke notice such a change in position? Or did Lu Ke really capture the smoke bomb-like positioning pattern of the Arizona Cardinals defensive team and discover the loopholes?
There is no need to get too edgy, even if it is Lu Ke, he cannot be considered to have all the strategies. The tactical game of competitive sports still needs to enter the combat link to complete the confrontation, and make adjustments and choices in the ever-changing environment. This is the essence of the game. Charm - even the players themselves cannot predict the changes in the next second. This kind of excitement will completely detonate adrenaline. Lu Ke can't wait to test his ideas now.
"attack!"
Lu Ke immediately announced the kick-off, and then the entire offensive team's formation formed a left-right misalignment movement: the offensive line protected Lu Ke and moved laterally to the right, while all the receiving players moved laterally to the left after starting. The two lines showed a pattern of staggered running back and forth, disrupting all the predictions of the defensive team——
The close connection between the defensive front and linebackers was abruptly broken by the active changes of the offensive team. The defensive front was forced to follow the offensive line to move laterally to his left, while the linebackers had to follow the receiving player. Moving laterally to his right, the originally densely packed short passing area is now like a cliff-breaking earthquake, cut off horizontally, and the defensive linkage is dislocated.
Lu Ke's eyes quickly swept around his left side, and he made observation movements in accordance with the running direction of the receiving player, including Marcus who also rushed out along the left slot; but Lu Ke's However, his peripheral vision was firmly locked on the movement trend of Abraham and Curtis.
really!
At this time, the San Francisco 49ers' right-wing positions are Logan, Boldin, and Selleck, from inside to outside. According to the conventional matchups, Abraham as an outside linebacker should face Logan, Curtis as a safety guard should face Boldin, and Peterson as a cornerback should face Seiler. Gram; but now Abraham and Curtis have completed the swap, so it becomes Abraham versus Boldin, and Curtis versus Logan.
But after kick-off, the matchup situation changed again.
Curtis stayed where he was without moving, as if his soul had suddenly left his body; Abraham still locked Boldin's straight forward route and began to retreat quickly. The entire defensive position did not seem to be blocked at all. Like an outside linebacker, more like a safety; Peterson followed Selleck's footsteps and began to retreat, still sticking to his cornerback job.
What about Logan?
Logan's running route took the initiative to meet Curtis, but Curtis seemed not to see Logan and was unmoved; Logan naturally could not stop to defend Curtis, this was not his Task, he turned his steps laterally to the left, and immediately opened a gap in the short passing area. Then inside linebacker Carlos Downsby filled the gap of Curtis and formed a confrontation with Logan. , blocking Logan's horizontal dash.
At this time, the entire left wing of the San Francisco 49ers has been piled up with countless players. Offensive players and defensive players are all colliding and entangled, making it extremely bloated. Cornerbacks, linebackers, and safeties are all moving towards the wide receivers and tight ends. Feng rushed over and formed a head-on collision to intercept.
So, what about Curtis? Is he really stupid?
Obviously not!
