821 Tough defense
"Right side."
"Left side."
"Lu Ke is watching, Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree are blocking each other, Lu Ke has completed the pass observation, he has passed! Lu Ke passed! ”
"It's a rainbow pass! Beautiful parabola, in the face of the key offensive gear of three gears and six yards, Lu Ke once again boldly and decisively chose a long pass! This is undoubtedly his strongest technique! The goal of the pass is ...... Pass the target! Hey, the pass is not on the left, it's on the right! It's actually on the right side! The entire Seattle Seahawks defense team made a mistake in judgment! ”
"Right side! Right! The pass target is Ted Jean! ”
"Beautiful! Logan Newman managed to pull off a brilliant pick-and-roll that knocked out the defensive positions of Earl Thomas and Richard Sherman, which meant – Ted Jean was left unmarked! As long as he can get the ball off the hook, it's a touchdown pass! Brilliant tactical layout and execution, God! ”
"Jean! Jean is on the run, and after a long injury break in the offseason, Jean is running wild at this moment, and his speed has completely increased, ten, fifteen, twenty yards...... God, the run continued, and Jean once again showed his hard-hitting, far-reaching striking ability, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five! ”
"Caught it!"
"Ted Jean has the catch! No defender could get close, even the nearest Earl Thomas couldn't catch up, it was too far away, and the Seattle Seahawks' defensive team had given up on the chase, and it was a touchdown! Yes, that's a touchdown! Jean rushed into the end zone and there was no doubt that the San Francisco 49ers managed to score their first touchdown of the game! ”
"Another touchdown!"
While this seems to be becoming the norm for the San Francisco 49ers, with the first wave of the opening game often scoring points, the touchdown was still a sight to behold! The 49-man offensive team once again showed their all-round transformation of the tactical system, and completed the touchdown with an absolutely strong performance! ”
"Wonderful, really wonderful!"
"Lu Ke knows exactly what he is doing, accurate layout and bold choices, and most importantly, fake real feints, in the offseason, Lu Ke spent a lot of effort on his own steps, and this season's pocket footsteps have ushered in a reborn change, and he has been able to complete a wide range of transfers in chaos and confrontation, and create more passing gaps!"
As a result, the Seattle Seahawks defense team completely stepped into the trap, Thomas and Sherman, who had performed exceptionally well in the previous defenses, were completely invisible in this key defense, and Ted Jean finally tore out a complete no man's land and played to his strengths, which once again proved a fact-
Among the San Francisco 49ers offensive group, Jean and Lu Ke's long pass connection is still the most threatening combination in the league! ”
……
Sherman stood up, his body covered with large dark green stains, and his whole body looked extremely embarrassed, but he didn't have the heart to take care of himself at this time.
Sherman gave a quick glance at Jean's back from afar. Jean was sprinting through the end zone with impunity, then slammed straight into the cushions on the sidelines, interacting with the home fans and cheering, celebrating the first touchdown of the day.
Sherman immediately retracted his gaze and turned his head to glance at Lu Ke. Lu Ke stood in place, clenched his fists heavily, did not celebrate, his resolute and sharp gaze revealed a strong confidence, and then turned around and left, giving up the field to his teammates in the special service team.
There is no ostentatiousness, no triumphant, not even a visual confrontation, it's like ...... As if Sherman didn't exist, the understatement, confident gesture slapped Sherman on the cheek and slashed it in a burning pain.
Damn it! This game has just begun, and their battle is not over yet! He'll make that arrogant guy bow his head! The person who died in the end would definitely not be him!
……
The San Francisco 49ers, who were playing at home, took the lead in scoring a touchdown in a wave of ups and downs and heart-wrenching offenses, bringing the score to "7:0", which was a wonderful start. So, how do you make the start of this game even more perfect?
The answer is: the defensive group also bursts with great potential!
Before mentioning the San Francisco 49ers' defensive group, it is necessary to talk about the Seattle Seahawks' offensive group.
Thirty-two teams in the league have a variety of distinct offensive styles.
For example, the New Orleans Saints, the offense is completely based on a pass-based system, and the running guard is more used to divert the attention of the defensive group, and in the end all the burden will fall on Drew Briss, which is why people have been criticizing Shaun Payton for being too indulgent to Briss, and almost every season has become a stage for Briss to "brush data".
Of course, the premise of all this is that Brice is the most basic quarterback in the league, and his passing accuracy, arc control, and shooting movements are hailed as textbooks.
The Carolina Panthers, for example, were constrained by the poor pocket protection of the offensive front, so they had to use a lot of wildcats or option offense, using the quarterback's role change as a cover, and building the running back, wide receiver and quarterback into offensive points. So they chose Cam Newton over the draft.
Another example is the Seattle Seahawks, where offense is built on the running guard and assists the wide receiver to catch the ball. In other words, a good running back is more comfortable with the Seahawks' offensive style than a good quarterback, often using Marshawn Lynch as the fulcrum of the offense, opening up a line after "beast mode" is turned on, and then supporting the quarterback's passing to execute the push.
But the difference between the Seahawks and the Panthers is that they still have a certain tradition of wide receivers and close ends, and the West Coast offensive system is also playing well, and their requirements for quarterbacks still include passing accuracy, but they must also take into account excellent pocket footwork, and the ability to advance with the ball is not so important.
It is precisely because of this that in last year's draft, the Seattle Seahawks gave up Lu Ke; In this year's draft, they chose Russell Wilson - Russell's pocket footwork is good enough, and he also has good passing accuracy, and despite his weak ability to advance with the ball, he fits perfectly into the Seahawks' offensive system.
It can be argued that if the Seattle Seahawks' run-and-run offense can't be played, then their game will be in a quagmire, and the passing offense will most likely not be able to open the game. What's more, this is a team that is stronger defensively than offensively.
Russell's joining, to a certain extent, shared the burden of running the ball with Shawn; This, coupled with his own ability to move things around his pocket, further enriched the Seahawks' offensive tactics, which became an important weapon for them to defeat the Green Bay Packers and the New England Patriots one after another.
But objectively speaking, the Packers and Patriots are both teams that are stronger offensively than defensively, and their defenses are in the middle and lower reaches of the league.
Facing the San Francisco 49ers away today, the team that currently tops the league in the defensive group, especially the current running defense has shown absolute dominance, from the defensive forward to the lineback, the front and rear seven players have all delivered performances comparable to the Pro Bowl, and naturally, the Seattle Seahawks' offense is in trouble.
Before and after, the Seattle Seahawks only played seven gears of offense, and then simply struck out with a clean strikeout.
In fact, if it weren't for Russell's clever pocket footwork and the three mustaches that escaped, the Seahawks offensive team would have been down long ago; But despite this, Russell's relentless running and searching for a passing route still failed to achieve much success.
Even Mashawn's run was blocked by the 49ers' defensive team, Navoro Bowman, Patrick Willis and Isaac Sobboga, who only advanced by seven yards in three runs, and his performance was extremely sluggish.
Russell worked hard and struggled against their rivals in the same district, but he still couldn't adapt to the away atmosphere of Candlestick Stadium as soon as possible, and a final outrageous pass under pressure put an end to the Seahawks' attack, and they only consumed less than three minutes of game time before leaving the court without any fighting back, giving up the field to the opposing attacking group again.
After last week's game against the New York Giants, the San Francisco 49ers' defensive team is also adjusting, and judging from the first wave of defense, they still showed good competitive form under the leadership of veteran Willis.
The attacking team, which was back in action after a short break, was also encouraged.
A short pass found Logan and he went smoothly for eight yards.
On one run, Marcus found space and managed to run eight yards and continue some distance after completing his first run.
Both consecutive offenses easily found their rhythm, once again allowing the Seattle Seahawks defense to retreat.
In the next wave of attack, the Seattle Seahawks defense team suddenly attacked without warning, sending six players to attack the offensive front, and Sherman also unexpectedly rushed forward, crossed through the gap between the offensive front line and Logan, and sprinted towards Lu Ke without any hindrance.
The whole tactic came too suddenly and too unexpectedly, breaking the rhythm of the San Francisco 49ers' offense and tearing the pockets in one fell swoop, really threatening the quarterback's passing.
In a crisis situation, Lu Ke made a quick shot and threw the rugby ball lightly before Sherman completed the tackle, but Jean and Vernon's cross-run was slightly out of position, unable to complete the catch, and could only watch the rugby fall to the ground and the pass was not completed.
Although the Seattle Seahawks were unable to complete the grapple, and Lu Ke also avoided Sherman's collision in time, the defense was still successful this time, unreasonably interrupting the offensive momentum of the San Francisco 49ers, and it was successful.
