The San Francisco 49ers are facing serious injury problems, with both the offensive and defensive teams lacking major generals, and the uninjured Aldon Smith has been pressed to the bench for "breaking the team's discipline", which also makes the team's defensive staffing more and more stretched.

Vic Fangio racked his brains to piece together a defensive lineup with a group of injured players and substitutes, and adjusted the defensive playbook to present a patched defensive group, which made people feel his helplessness and embarrassment.

But it was precisely such a defensive group that brought the team spirit of football to the fullest, giving one of the best defensive performances of the San Francisco 49ers this season, completely limiting Robert Griffin III to invisibility, such an excellent performance is really amazing.

Griffin struggled throughout the game.

26 passes, 16-of-16, 76 yards, no touchdowns, one interception, 49.5 quarterback rating, PFF rating -1.8.

To make matters worse, even the ground advance was a measly 22 yards.

In other words, all of Griffin's offensive weapons were completely blocked, and the Washington Redskins running backs were also collectively dumbfounded, and the best running back, Alfred-Morris, only advanced for 52 yards, which could not relieve Griffin's passing pressure at all, and the whole game collapsed.

In an extremely difficult situation, the San Francisco 49ers defensive team broke out with a strong cohesion and became the absolute protagonist of this game!

In comparison, the rebound of the San Francisco 49ers' offensive group can only be regarded as pediatric.

Considering the current situation of the team's receiving team, as well as Lu Ke's arm injury, Hubble returned to the two-close forward strategy after a long absence, starting with Logan Newman and Garrett Salek, and selecting Ted Jean and Angang Boulding as wide receivers.

At the same time, on the offensive front, due to the recurrence of Rupatti's old injury, Adam Schneider, who had served as a first aid player in the 2011 season, once again played the role of a tinker and became Lu Ke's blind side protector.

Correspondingly, Lu Ke's game method has also been adjusted:

This matchup became the first time in three years that the San Francisco 49ers had a more ground offense than a passing offense.

With 21 passes and 33 ground attacks, the San Francisco 49ers, who topped the Super Bowl with their West Coast offensive system, played an unusually retro-style game of perfection - a tough frontal break up with ground offense, supplemented by a lightning raid with a pass offense, and defeated the opponent without blood.

Just like a patched defensive group, the San Francisco 49ers, who have always lacked ground offensive ability, burst out with amazing energy in this game!

Frank Goyle, who suffered a minor injury, still got on the court and completed nine ball-holdings, pushing a full 55 yards for an average of 6.1 yards per drive.

The well-formed Marcus Lynch was the absolute mainstay, holding the ball 14 times and driving for 80 yards, including a 27-yard trek and a 5.7-yard run.

Kendall Hunter and RaMichael James also took part in the game, with Kendall holding the ball three times and pushing for 11 yards; Ramichael held the ball seven times and advanced for 27 yards.

While the San Francisco 49ers' running backs still didn't have a 100-yard performance in a single game, the four running backs combined to push 173 yards on the ground! laid the foundation for victory with a strong and efficient performance, greatly relieved Lu Ke's passing pressure, which was not light and sharp in the past, but showed the vigor and solidity of the team's attack.

It is worth mentioning that Lu Ke also tried to run and attack with the ball twice in this game, and completed a full 24-yard advancement, and his performance even surpassed Griffin, so who is the pocket quarterback and who is the running quarterback, this is really a little unclear.

Just by advancing on the ground, the San Francisco 49ers scored 197 yards! This has also become the cornerstone of the team's victory in the game.

But, why?

Or rather, how is this done?

If the defensive group can create more threats through the combination of mutual help and tactical combinations, especially the timing of front-line pressure can create more opportunities, then how can the ground attack be reborn overnight?

Answer: Lu Ke!

Of course, the timely improvement in the form of the four runners is an important factor, and the change in morale and form allows them to find more opportunities in the race, which is the most important thing; But before the running back started to advance, Lu Ke had already started the layout in advance. This is the result of the "adjustment of the style and method of play".

Later, when the teams analyzed the video of the game, it was obvious that first of all, Lu Ke repeatedly named the adjustment of the offensive forward in the tactical layout stage, using the initiative of the offensive forward to create space for advancement, or creating the illusion of passing, and then winning unexpected opportunities for ground advancement.

Secondly, Lu Ke's feints are still used very frequently, and the tactical switching of fake fax runs and fake runs and real passes has frequently skipped the advance reading of the Washington Redskins defense team - in at least three attacks, the Redskins launched a rushing pass raid without warning, but Lu Ke found Logan in the form of a quick short pass, and broke through the Redskins' rush intentions head-on, and then forced the Redskins defense team to fall into the dilemma of taking care of one or the other.

In the end, Lu Ke boldly and riskily used three reading option attacks, which gave people the illusion of "49 people and red skins" in a trance, and all three reading option attacks successfully advanced to the big yardage, presenting the diversity and suddenness of the San Francisco 49ers' offensive tactics in another way.

In other words, Lu Ke once again showed the true meaning of "playing with the mind", using his defensive reading ability and on-the-spot tactical change ability to complete the foreshadowing in advance, and then abnormally opened the situation with ground attack, killing the opponent by surprise -

Not only the Washington Redskins, but the other 30 teams in the league were also a little uncomfortable with the sudden change of face of the San Francisco 49ers: this routine is not quite right!

The focus returns to the players, if the players are not in good shape, or the tactical coordination is wrong, then even if Lu Ke's advance layout is exquisite and clever, it will not be able to exert the corresponding power after all; In fact, the running back group led by Goyle and Marcus did take on the heavy responsibility in this game, and Lu Ke's two unexpected ground ball advancements completely disrupted the opponent's defensive layout, and then won the advantage for the offensive group.

The eye-catching performance of the ground offense, to a certain extent, covered up Lu Ke's recovery in passing offense.

Because of the arm strain, Lu Ke made full use of the double near-end tactics and opened up today's offensive momentum with short passes-

Salek's route running is still a bit problematic, but he plays an important role as a wooden stake that confuses the line of sight, containing the defensive strength in the short pass area and creating more space for Logan or the running back to receive the ball, which allows Lu Ke to have more options in the line arrangement and combination of the short pass area, and regain the complex and diverse characteristics of the West Coast offensive tactics, even if it is only limited to the short pass area.

Short-pass games tend to have an increased pass success rate, a drop in passing yards, and a relatively flat quarterback rating: this is why Tom Brady's quarterback rating has never been able to surpass the other three elite quarterbacks, and the style of play is destined to be a shortcoming in the scoring system.

14-of-21 from the field, 155 yards, one touchdown, no interceptions, 104.3 quarterbacks, 1.1 PFF.

Judging from the overall data, Lu Ke's pass success rate has picked up, but it must be noted that there is still room for improvement in the success rate of short pass-based games; At the same time, the number of passing yards also set a new career low, and there was only one passing touchdown, and the overall performance was still relatively low-key, without a strong performance to turn the tide, but it showed the general demeanor of the game controller.

The strong rebound in the quarterback rating is the most direct manifestation of this.

Throughout the game, the most outstanding performance in the offensive group was not Lu Ke, nor Logan, but Marcus, in addition to the 80-yard ground advance, he also scored two rushing touchdowns, with his own powerful run to break out of the world, in the case of Lu Ke suffering from injury, Marcus stepped up, shared the burden for his friends, and successfully led the team back to the winning track again.

“6：27”。

That's the final score.

With the Redskins at an all-time low, suffering three straight defeats and facing the heavy title of "Griffin's first-ever game without a touchdown", the team was overwhelmed, and the glory and sparkle of last year seemed to be still fresh in their minds, and in the blink of an eye, they needed to face the crisis of regrouping again.

The San Francisco 49ers, on the other hand, easily walked away from a win on the road, successfully getting rid of the heavy shadow of the last major loss, and quickly returned to the right track of victory; What's more, they won a "49-man" victory in a "non-49-man" way, which also initially showed the strength of the team.

At the post-match press conference, reporters asked Lu Ke how he felt about winning again.

"I believe we are on the right track, we have a lot of difficulties ahead and we need to find our form again. Now I don't want to look to the future too impatiently, but I want to go step by step, game by game, and finally see where we can go. ”

Such a mentality is precisely the state of the entire San Francisco 49ers team: steadily picking up step by step, the upward curve has eased a little but has always maintained an upward trend, not impatient, not panicked, not unhurried, but it is fitting its own pace and rhythm little by little.

That's a good thing.
