1613 Self-inflicted

"Attack!"

Cam Newton stood still and waited for running back D'Angelo Williams, who did not hand over the football in the first place, but tried to delay the half-beat to create the illusion of reading the option attack, either to let the defender drop back and continue the defensive pass, or to find himself to carry the ball forward and win more space for the team to advance - but this time, the delayed shot was caught by the opponent.

The San Francisco 49ers made an early judgment and unwavering on the ground, with four rushing passes at the front and two linebackers not stepping up but staying where they were – slowing down the tempo and then filling in to block all the trailblazers in the center and then blocking all the ground advances.

At the same time, outside guard Ahmed Brooks formed a misposition early, completely ignoring his opposing wide receiver Brandon-LaFell, cut straight into the pocket, and without any obstacles, he was already easily on D'Angelo's side and began to ...... Wait for the rabbit.

As a result, the picture is a little funny.

Cam and D'Angelo were handing over the football, but Cam didn't let go immediately, but kept holding the ball and watched ahead, and his vision didn't catch Ahmed staring at him at all - and D'Angelo, who had his back to Ahmed, was even more impossible to see, and then, Ahmed didn't rush forward to avoid Cam choosing to hold the ball himself, but waited quietly, and whoever held the ball grabbed him.

Literally: Ahmed literally stood there waiting.

All the other players collided head-on, but Ahmed himself was in a different world. The scene is really a little hilarious, and a little ridiculous.

However, this only lasted for a second.

Immediately above the offensive line, some players noticed Ahmed's "derailment", and Chris-Scott (Chris-Scott) gave up the confrontation in front of him, turned and flew towards Ahmed; At the same time, Cam also realized that the defensive team had already seen through the intention of advancing on the ground, and he had no space to push through with the ball, so he had to hand the rugby to D'Angelo.

The two attacking players started at the same time, Ahmet ignored Scott's flying pounce, all attention was focused on D'Angelo's body, and his footsteps moved laterally to dodge, bypassing Scott's grappling, and slamming towards D'Angelo, first Scott crashed into Ahmed, then Ahmed crashed into D'Angelo, and the whole situation became extremely chaotic.

Ahmed was unable to fully grapple with D'Angelo, who staggered away from Ahmed and Scott despite the complete confusion of his footwork, and tried to keep running sideways from the right side to find a gap to break through, but it was too late.

The other defenders of the San Francisco 49ers were very fast and rushed up, swarming in a mighty way, and finally pushed D'Angelo down to the tee line, without losing yards, but also without advancing yardage, and after a toss and turn, he still regretfully stopped at the tee line.

Cam can clearly perceive the huge pressure exerted by the San Francisco 49ers, just like the Carolina Panthers, the visiting team's defense team is also prepared through a large number of game videos - because the home team's offensive team offensive mode is relatively stable and relatively fixed, and it still relies more on ability to complete the advancement: whether it is a reading option offense or a forced push on the ground, this is a "power ball", and the tactical permutations and combinations are relatively less tricky, which also means that the San Francisco 49ers' defense can be more targeted.

First of all, strengthen the ground defense and wait for opportunities to enhance the quarterback raid, unlike the Carolina Panthers, the San Francisco 49ers' defensive tactics are more inclined to the Seattle Seahawks' style, mainly to put pressure on the quarterback, not to make a tackle, but to destroy the quarterback's passing vision and passing rhythm.

Secondly, concentrate on the second-line defense and create as much interference as possible with the counterpoint defense, because Cam's passing is not known for accuracy, he needs the receiver to use his ability to tear out the gap, and take the initiative to complete the catch in the running and moving - passive receiving is like Lu Ke The quarterback will grasp the initiative of the landing point, which also makes the San Francisco 49ers second-line defense interfere, which can reduce the success rate of the passing line, and then force the Carolina Panthers to give up the passing offense and re-rely on the ground offense, The two sides engaged in a war of attrition.

In the tenth week of the regular season, the San Francisco 49ers crushed the Carolina Panthers offensive group in this way. Of course, the team still had Patrick Willis at the helm at the time, and the injury situation was far less serious; In this game, whether the team can create enough pressure on the front line to disrupt Cam's passing rhythm is the absolute focus, and from the first wave of offense and defense, the San Francisco 49ers are trying to gain the upper hand.

How could the Carolina Panthers be defenseless for such a situation? Now it's up to Cam's.

Two gears of ten yards.

The San Francisco 49ers once again used a five-man rushing pass, this time it was Aldon Smith who broke through the pocket, and the Carolina Panthers, who were prepared in advance, took the initiative to meet Aldon by D'Angelo; Aldon seems to have been inspired by Ahmed to ram D'Angelo with all his might.

Although D'Angelo was very strong, his ability to pick up and block could not compete with Aldon, and then he retreated in a hurry, further compressing the safety controls in his pockets, and Cam's movement with the ball suddenly stumbled; To add insult to injury, another inside defender, Navoro Bowman, also bypassed the front confrontation area and cut inside to form a second breakaway, and Cam immediately panicked.

Instead of moving out of his pocket and patiently looking for a passing target, Cam quickly sent the ball in the direction of the left space with a cross-step, boldly delivering a 13-yard mid-pass to unmarked close end Craig Olson.

The close end who was drafted by the Chicago Bears with the 31st pick in the first round in 2007 came to the Carolina the same year as Cam, and after three years of running-in, he is now firmly established as the team's top near end.

In the first wave of attack and defense, Cam and D'Angelo moved laterally to the right at the same time, and all the receivers all ran to the right, creating a heavily tilted situation, while Olsen, who ran alone to the left, managed to shake off the wingback Tariel Brown's marking, and used the close end to suppress the opponent, successfully winning a three-yard or so receiving gap.

This should be a revamped short pass!

Olsen had ripped out the space to catch the ball, but ...... Cam's six-vein sword failed to manifest, the entire passing arc was too high and too fast, and Olsen tried his best to jump high, but he still couldn't touch the rugby, and could only watch the rugby fly off the sideline.

Passing accuracy, which is still an issue for Cam, especially with the loss of pocket protection, the overall level of passing has dropped dramatically.

On the side of the away team's defense, Aldon cheered for himself with a fist after completing a beautiful pressure, although others did not know the reason, but there was a faint speculation in the San Francisco 49ers - Wallace's matter still had an impact after all, although I don't know how Aldon handled it, but Aldon was still inevitably a little distracted.

Ahmed's performance just now gave Aldon a slap in the face: the game has officially begun, all the off-field situations need to be left behind for the time being, don't think nonsense, otherwise there is no need to wait for Wallace's affair to break out, he may fall behind again, he needs to cheer himself up now, even Ahmed, who usually rarely steps up to tackle, is now actively improving the game, and he also needs to keep up with the rhythm.

He can't fall behind anymore, "strikeouts", the previous two chances of survival, he has used them all, if there is a third time, it may be the end.

Navoro also walked over, gave Alton a hug, and whispered in his ear, "Don't let Bambi down." ”

Aldon clenched his fists again and cheered himself up: Yes, he must not live up to Lu Ke's trust, let alone the team's trust.

In the blink of an eye, three gears of ten yards.

Once again, the San Francisco 49ers tore open their pockets with three rushing passes, did not create a tackle, but created a huge passing pressure for Cam, and the two interior defenders, Michael Wiehott and Navoro Bowman, both crossed the center and intercepted Cam's own path with the ball, which also forced Cam to choose to pass.

Tiptoe.

Tiptoe again.

Cam stood in the crumbling pocket, unable to make a passing choice, and seeing that Navoro was ready to rush forward to make a tackle, he quickly moved his position with small broken steps and found Olsen, the close end of the short ball area with a through ball.

This time there was no deviation in the pass, and the short seven-yard pass was unmistakably connected with Olsen, but Olsen was unable to shake off the cornerback Carol Rodgers on this side, and just after the end of the football, Carroll had already grabbed Olsen and destroyed Olsen's center of gravity in the first place.

Olsen tried to use the size advantage of the near end to force his way in, but Carroll was well prepared and took a wrestling stance to the ground. Immediately afterward, security guard Eric Rader also rushed over, completely crushing Olsen and holding him back in front of the first line.

In the end, the referee measured that this advance was only nine yards, which also put the Carolina Panthers into a four-gear one-yard situation.

At this point, they are 29 yards ahead of their end zone, and if they fail in fourth gear, it means that the San Francisco 49ers will attack from here; What's more, it was just the beginning of the game, and after thinking twice, the home team still gave up the attempt to attack in the fourth gear and chose to give up.

So, Carolina Panther, strikeout out!
