159 Doesn't feel good

The Dallas Cowboys' offensive team is attacking on the court, and Lu Ke, who is sitting on the court, is discussing and arranging tactics with Kip Kleist and Craig Roman.

Essentially, the Cowboys' defensive tactics aren't complicated, just a change of focus and a focus on the quarterback's passing weapon.

However, for every quarterback, how to tear up the defense, how to arrange the tactics, and how to complete the pass is originally a game and confrontation with the defensive group.

Now, the Cowboys chose a simple and rough defensive method, but it was effective, curbing Lu Ke's passing offensive; So, how will Lu Ke respond?

If Lu Ke can run with the ball himself, the Cowboys' defensive tactics will suddenly be scrambling; But the problem is that Lu Ke's physical confrontation ability and ability to move with the ball are all shortcomings. Once Lu Ke starts to run with the ball, the strong grip of the lineback, the strength of the impact and inertia are stronger, and Lu Ke will fall into the danger of injury.

After all, a quarterback isn't as physically strong as a running back. What's more, it's still Lu Ke's small body?

This time, the San Francisco 49ers' defense didn't let their guard down and stopped Romo at the 46-yard line of the Cowboys' half, forcing the Cowboys to opt for a pun. Subsequently, Lu Ke went into battle again.

The Cowboys once again put on a dense defensive formation, and Lu Ke bewildered and abandoned the pistol formation and shotgun formation, and chose another common "I" formation in the league.

The original model of the "I" formation, named for the letter "I", consisted of five offensive forwards lined up, with quarterbacks standing behind the center, close to each other; Behind the quarterbacks is a full-back, a half-back, in a straight line, with about three yards apart between each of them.

Depending on the need, the three wide receivers and one near end are arranged in different positions.

In the oldest version, all four receivers are on the same horizontal line as the attacking front; Later, a different version was developed, with four receivers on a vertical line of quarterbacks and running backs to confuse the opposition.

In modern football, the full guard is disappearing, so in the "I" formation, there is only one running back behind the quarterback.

Just like Lu Ke's offensive formation at this time:

Five offensive forwards lined up, with a wide receiver on the left and right flanks, and then extended, a wide receiver on the left and a close end on the right, basically parallel to the offensive forward, but slightly half a step behind; Lu Ke was close to the center forward, ready to catch the ball; The running back stood six yards behind Lu Ke.

The tactical strategy of the three basic formations is relatively focused, the I formation, the quarterback is close to the center, so the tactics are mainly based on running the ball; The pistol formation, with quarterbacks and centers spaced three yards apart, allows for a combination of tactics; Shotgun formation, quarterbacks and centers are six to seven yards apart, and the whole strategy is based on passing.

Of course, this is just the focus of the traditional basic tactics, with the I formation being good for the running back to sprint, holding the ball, and breaking through, while the shotgun formation is good for the quarterback to observe, judge, and pass. However, choosing to run the ball in a shotgun formation, or choosing to pass the ball in an I formation, unexpected moves can often achieve unexpected gains.

Lu Ke put on an I formation, coupled with Marcus as a running back, and put on a strong posture of rushing the ball; But the Cowboys were unmoved at all and still firmly chose a dense defensive formation.

After kick-off, Lu Ke quickly stepped back and handed the rugby to Marcus according to the arrangement of the coaching staff.

Today's situation is different from the first game, the Cowboys have set up a dragon goal formation, so the 49ers must disrupt the opponent's defensive rhythm with running balls, otherwise Lu Ke's passing will bear huge pressure, and the offense will be difficult to open the situation, and if you are not careful, you will intercept or drop the ball.

What's more, the Cowboys are heavily defensive and passing, and the running defense is relatively lax. This is the best chance to open up the situation.

After Marcus held the ball, he slammed left and right, found a gap, and began to push forward; However, the Cowboys' defensive team was highly focused, and the three defensive forwards and four linebackers all swarmed over at the first time, blocking the entire advancing road airtightly, and the two corner guards standing behind also quickly approached and made a defensive posture.

The whole defense was like a mountain, layer upon layer, layer upon layer. If Marcus transforms into the Hulk at this moment, it is estimated that he can complete the breakthrough; But the problem is, he can't.

As a result, Marcus only ran two yards, and he couldn't move an inch, and he was helpless to stay where he was.

The second gear attack followed, eight yards.

It was still an I formation, and after kicking off, Lu Ke quickly stepped back and reached out to try to complete the delivery, but at the last moment he withdrew his right hand and did not hand the rugby to Marcus, but turned around and began to look for a passing target.

The Cowboys completely gave up the raid, which made the 49ers' pockets solid, Lu Ke did not feel the slightest pressure, and calmly looked for the target, but the entire court was densely packed with Cowboys players, and there was no gap at all. In the blink of an eye, Lu Ke passed the football ball and chose Michael Crabcutrie.

However, the cornerbacks of the Cowboys were highly focused, did not give Crabtree any chance to receive the ball, and pushed and pulled, squeezed, and waved his hand to block his vision, and the tight defense was clean and neat, and there were no signs of fouls; In the end, Crabtree could only watch as the pass fell on the grass. The pass is not completed.

The third gear offense is still eight yards.

Lu Ke chose the pistol formation and completed the kick-off, this time he directly omitted the false shaking action of the fake run and real pass, without hesitation or observation, he shot at the first time, and the passing target was selected as a close forward, Logan!

Because the defense of the short pass area was too dense, Lu Ke was not greedy, but chose a five-yard pass, hoping to use Logan's breakthrough ability to get the first attack; Sure enough, Logan received the football smoothly, but in the next second, the two players' bag grappling hugged Logan accurately, and simply pushed Logan to the ground.

Strikeout again!

The San Francisco 49ers opened the game with two strikeouts, both striking out, and only added up to 12 yards; Lu Ke made three passes and one hit, only advancing five yards. The team's offense was completely bogged down.

The foreboding seems to be coming true; To make matters worse, this is just the beginning.

In the ensuing offense, the young and vigorous offensive group of the San Francisco 49ers encountered the strict defense of the Cowboys, which finally highlighted the immaturity and jerkiness of the rookie players. The first to bear the brunt were Marcus and Logan.

Marcus seems to lack a bit of spirituality in today's rush, the choice of line and the way of breaking through have never stepped on the rhythm, the promotion effect has been slow to open up the situation, and even repeatedly put the team in trouble. Inadvertently, Marcus seems to have turned into Anthony Dixon from the previous game.

Logan was even more in a dilemma. During college, Logan's physical advantage was very obvious, and he could eat his opponent raw; But after entering the league, the physical advantage was eroded - the team's coaching staff kept asking Logan to gain weight, but Logan never took it to heart.

In today's game, the Cowboys' defenders kept making small moves, openly and secretly disrupting Logan's rhythm of receiving the ball, and the running route could not open the gaps, and even the gaps for observing the passing trajectory were very limited. A lot of times, Logan doesn't even have time to get ready to catch the ball before the football is already being heard.

Lu Ke tried four times, but Logan only succeeded the second time, and the next three times all failed.

In addition to the two rookies Marcus and Logan, the other three veteran wide receivers also seem to be far from the best of their best.

Lu Ke put on an offensive position with full firepower, did not deliberately select players to receive the ball, but gave priority to the gap, but the effect was limited.

Michael Crabtree's two passes, one successful, drove three yards; A defender slaps a pass and the pass is not completed.

Kyle Williams makes a pass and gets the ball off his own.

Ted Jean made two passes, one misplaced, one buttery hand - after receiving the ball, it was like holding a hot potato, and it actually fell out again, and it was almost intercepted by the opponent:

After the receiver finishes receiving the ball, but does not control the ball, the football jumps out again, and before the landing, the defender can catch and control the football, then it is an interception; However, if the defender lands before he can receive it, or if the defender is not able to control it and falls to the ground, then the pass is not complete. The ball will not be converted.

Jean's buttery hand sent the San Francisco 49ers in a cold sweat, but luckily the Cowboys' cornerback couldn't catch the football and the ball hit the ground straight on. The pass is not completed.

The whole line is dumb, and the entire offensive group is dumb on all fronts, and three strikeouts in a row. The San Francisco 49ers offensive group, which was in demand in the first game, couldn't even get a first attack today! Completely let everyone fall through the glasses!

The coaching staff led by Jim Hubble made a change, replacing the underperforming Logan Newman with Vernon Davis and changing the offensive rhythm with Anthony Dixon and Marcus Lynch in rotation; Replaced the almost invisible Kyle Williams with Brayren Edwards to redistribute tactics.

"So far today, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team has performed really poorly, and it seems that it has been beaten back to its original shape overnight, and all offensive weapons are dumb."

Kirk Charleston, who was sitting in the studio, kept his position as neutral as possible and gave his opinion.

"Objectively speaking, the fourteenth Lu Ke did not get much support today, and the poor performance of the receiver stifled his play, but on the other hand, his own pass was deviated at least twice, and it was without any surprise pressure, which led to the pass not being completed. This is really unusual for Lu Ke, who is known for his passing accuracy. ”

"Let's look at this offense, Vernon Davis, oh God, intercept! Intercept! The rookie quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers made the first interception of his career! ”
