Russell Wilson knows that he must complete the pass. Whether it is a fifteen-yard dilemma on second down or a three-yard offensive start in the end zone, this means that he must use the pass to open up the situation. Maybe Marshawn Lynch can be a smoke bomb and use the tactic of fake running and passing to open up the situation.
Then, he needs to confuse his opponents so that they cannot accurately judge the tactical direction. The pistol formation is the best choice, and then assists with a multi-line offensive formation-removing a full-back and adding a wide receiver, four receivers The ball players' positions are completely spread out and their offensive weapons are fully set up.
"Read option offense." The voice of head coach Pete Carroll came from the headset. Russell expressed his understanding. His peripheral vision fell on outside linebacker Aldon Smith. This is the current San Francisco 49ers defense. The best player on the front line is also the most threatening player.
Russell's brain started working quickly, he quickly simulated the entire tactic, and then announced the kick-off.
"attack!"
Center Max Unger handed the football to Russell. Russell could immediately feel the powerful momentum of the San Francisco 49ers' defensive front colliding head-on with just four people rushing the pass. But it created a momentum of absolute power——
The San Francisco 49ers defensive team was also inspired to be bloody. They continued to increase their strength. The rhythm and speed did not change, but they pushed the superposition of strength to a new level, creating a more ferocious effect in the head-on collision. They used the three defensive forwards to add more force. The last inside linebacker's step-up pass clamped down on the five offensive linemen, thereby creating an opportunity for his own linebacker to make a sudden sack. In the strong collision of the defensive front line, he faintly gained an advantage.
At this time, Russell immediately felt the pressure on his face, and the ferocious air wave hit his cheek hard. From the corner of his vision, he caught the linebackers Aldon and Willis, who were shaking and changing positions. Russell's first reaction was to step back to create space in this way, and then adapt to the situation, but before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in the instep of his right foot.
"ah!"
Russell cried out in pain in the back of his mind. He tried to react, but was half a beat too late to realize that his right foot was firmly stepped on by offensive guard James Carpenter. Oops! But now it was too late. His left leg and upper body had already retreated before his brain could react. His right foot was nailed to the spot, and then his body's center of gravity was overturned. He landed directly on his back and fell. A man with his arms and legs spread out.
Immediately afterwards, Carpenter's body was also moved by the lever. He didn't know why. He completely lost control in the next second and fell backward.
Pocket gaps appear.
How could the San Francisco 49ers defense team miss it? They rushed forward one after another. Like a flood bursting a bank, they all rushed into the gap in an instant, pinning Russell down in the end zone in a stacked manner.
The studio was already stunned!
"What...what's going on!"
"Wilson is down! Wilson is down!"
"Safety score! The San Francisco 49ers defense produced a safety score! Wow, it's incredible, how did this happen? God, the San Francisco 49ers defense team continuously showed the absolute strength advantage of the defensive front, tearing the pocket for the second consecutive time They caused trouble, and this time, they managed to score! This is a safe point, absolutely a safe point!"
"But how did that happen? Let's see the slow-motion replay!"
"At the moment of the kickoff, the San Francisco 49ers formed a frontcourt pressure. The confrontation between Justin Smith and James Carpenter created an absolute advantage. Carpenter had to take a step back to resist Smith's impact. In order to The active confrontational action to protect the quarterback caused an accident - as a result, Carpenter's retreating left foot stepped on Russell Wilson's right foot before he could retreat."
"This is a coincidence, but it is as amazing as a disaster! Wilson's withdrawal was half a step off, just half a step, and then he couldn't get away. He lost control of his center of gravity and was overturned directly. He had no chance at all, and even Without even time to react, Wilson fell into the end zone with the football in his arms."
"Safety score! This is an undisputed safety score!"
Buzz buzz.
Buzz buzz.
The entire Century Chain Stadium was a little dazed, and everyone was in a confused posture. They didn't understand how this happened. One second the game was evenly matched, the next second a turnover occurred, and then, the Seattle Seahawks Just lost a damn safety point.
The game really got heated: During the kickoff return, the San Francisco 49ers made consecutive missed tackles. Without the Seattle Seahawks' foul, the situation would have been different; similarly, the Seattle Seahawks There were also unnecessary low-level mistakes in the offense, which gave the opponent a safety point. This couldn't be worse.
As the studio analysis said, the state of both sides is extremely tight. Now the slightest disturbance may lead to unnecessary low-level mistakes. Now it depends on who can seize the opportunity - in the chaos, both sides have opportunities. , in fact, both sides are giving their opponents opportunities.
The first to seize the opportunity were the San Francisco 49ers.
The members of the defensive team gathered around Justin, hugged him hard, and then slapped Justin on the helmet. The cheers and screams continued.
The biggest contributor to this wave of defense is undoubtedly Justin. Even though injuries are still a serious problem, Justin is shining brightly little by little, doing his best for the team in his own way, shouldering the burden of Willis's absence. He also shouldered the effort during the adaptation period after Willis returned.
In stark contrast to the San Francisco 49ers, the frustrated and agitated Seattle Seahawks had very obvious fluctuations in status during this period from foul calls to active turnovers. This also made the team's efforts all in vain, and now they fell behind for the first time in the game. The score, the feeling of frustration is really indescribable.
The home team's defensive players stepped forward to comfort Russell and Carpenter. This was not their mistake. There was no need to hold on to this mistake. The game was still going on. The two sides were still evenly matched. They needed to temporarily control the situation. Put this matter behind you and continue to strive for victory with all your strength.
However, everyone knows the truth, but the fact is that the momentum and state changed slightly after all, and then all eyes were focused on Lu Ke——
Can the San Francisco 49ers seize their opportunity? Will this safety break be a turning point in the entire game?
"10:12".
The San Francisco 49ers, playing away from home, overtook the score for the first time, in such a dramatic way.
According to the rules, after the Seattle Seahawks lose a safety point, they also lose the ball, and it will be calculated as a strikeout. Next, they will punt from the twenty-yard line, and then the San Francisco 49ers will start the offense.
It can be clearly noticed that the mentality of the Seattle Seahawks has fluctuated violently: when the special team kicked off, the referee's whistle had not yet blown, and the football was kicked out, and the game was stopped by the referee.
This was not a foul, it just required the special team to restart the kick, but Seattle Seahawks punter Jon Ryan argued with the referee a little irritably, seeming to express his dissatisfaction with the referee's whistle being too slow. , it can be felt from all aspects that the current state of the home team has fluctuated, which also affected all of Jon Ryan's punts.
Standing on the twenty-yard line to punt, Jon Ryan kicked the football to the twenty-five-yard line in the San Francisco half. Osgood, who was responsible for the return, rushed forward at full speed and pushed the ball over forty yards in one go. , and finally encountered a double-team from three players near the forty-five-yard line, and fell to the forty-three-yard line.
"It all started with this foul, Mike Morgan pulling over Adam Schneider, forcing Brian Walters' 78-yard return to be blown away, and then allowing the Seattle Seahawks to get back into the game. The drive started at our own eight-yard line and ended with a safety.”
"For the Seattle Seahawks, the current situation is a bit turbulent, which is definitely not good news; but they have no extra time to adjust, because Lu Ke is about to lead the San Francisco 49ers offense, and the next showdown will be more about momentum. Fight, who can seize the opportunity depends on this moment!"
Standing in the pocket protection of the offensive line, Lu Ke stabilized his mind a little and started with defensive reading. However, the position of the Seattle Seahawks defensive team still did not change much. It was not much different from the previous "smoke bomb formation". The only thing The biggest change is that Irvin, the outside linebacker facing Gene on the right, retreated.
The Seattle Seahawks once again used starting outside linebacker Bruce Irvin to replace Malcolm Smith. Compared to Malcolm, Irvin is more comprehensive, which also means that Pete Carroll is still in a smoke bomb layout. Maintaining suspense in pass defense and blitzing the pass rush - this is the Seattle Seahawks' most successful regular season strategy. It's just that they more often choose to apply pressure from the front instead of making a surprise attack.
Even the positions of Wagner and Chancellor have become more concealed, trying to avoid being seen through Lu Ke's defensive reading of their tactical intentions.
There is also another change. Sherman and Maxwell have returned to their original positions. Sherman guards the left side of the Seattle Seahawks and Maxwell is responsible for the right side. This is a parallel swap of the two cornerbacks. Tactics The level has not changed. The reason for the change is also very straightforward:
Sherman went back to face Logan, and Maxwell came over to face Crabtree.
The San Francisco 49ers set up a multi-line offensive formation, with only Logan guarding the right wing alone, and Vernon, Gene and Crabtree on the left wing from inside to outside; finally, the running backs who came on rotation lined up alongside Lu Ke stand.
Neither team made significant changes and continued to confuse their opponents at the formation level.
