895 Tough Moments

Fifteen yards from the front of the end area, a three-stop offensive impact touchdown, this is definitely a good scoring opportunity for the San Francisco 49ers offensive group.

So far this season, the top six teams in the league in terms of efficiency in the Red Zone are the San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots, Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Washington Redskins and New Orleans Saints.

Among them, the Redskins are dominated by ground-rushing balls, and quarterback Robert Griffin III's reading option offense is really unguardable; The other four teams are led by four elite quarterbacks, and their red-zone touchdown efficiency is even higher than that of the Atlanta Falcons, who lost last week, and the efficiency of the offensive team can be seen.

But the San Francisco 49ers at the top of the table doesn't mean they are stronger than the other teams.

In fact, the main reason why the San Francisco 49ers can rank first is because they have too few red zone offenses, so far the team has only made seven red zone offenses so far this season, and completed six of them, with a red zone touchdown rate of 85.7%; Many times, before entering the red zone, Lu Ke directly completed the fatal blow through the middle pass or long pass, and the goal had been achieved before the strong showdown in the red zone arrived, so their attack in the red zone still did not go through too many tests.

Now, facing the Chicago Bears' red-zone defense, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive efficiency will be severely challenged.

Ten yards in gear.

Lu Ke, who was standing in the pistol formation, unexpectedly did not choose to retreat, but boldly chose to step forward, and made a magnet attraction with the offensive front - the offensive front quickly retracted, tightened his pockets, and wrapped Lu Ke in a tighter and tighter way.

As expected, the Chicago Bears' defensive front chose to raid the quarterback, and between advancing and retreating, the impact of the defensive front line suddenly met an iron bucket formation, and it was completely impossible to find the gap that tore through the pocket; Immediately, all five defensive forwards smelled danger, and the players led by Julius Pipes and Henry Melton reacted quickly -

They all looked up and reached out, trying to make a passing interference.

But Lu Ke's action was still one step ahead, and after the upper step was completed, he raised his right hand and made a light toss, and made a quick shot, accurately finding Randy Moss on the left side of the short pass area.

Within the confines of the heavily guarded Red Zone, Moss's elusive route became more and more like a fish in water, stopping and turning sharply, pulling horizontally, rushing forward and retreating...... In just one second or two seconds, he used the power control of his small broken steps to complete several turns in a palm-sized area with ease.

When Moss's footsteps appeared in the center near the left, about five yards away from the offensive and defensive lines, nearby defenders could sense his position, but their body center of gravity could no longer keep up, and the space of just two or three yards divided them like a moat, and they could only watch as Moss jumped gently to complete the catch.

Lu Ke's passing arc was very clever, he didn't pull a big arc, but a curve that jumped up and fell rapidly - the hands that raised the players who crossed the defensive line, but did not lose control and pushed towards the deep area, accurately and skillfully landing in the dense crowd to find Moss.

This short pass, especially the ability to tear through the defensive line in the midst of chaos, shows the tactical awareness and precision of the hand, which is precisely the greatest magic weapon of Tom Brady's brilliant achievement.

Moss only needs to jump slightly, and it doesn't take any effort to take the rugby ball into his arms, and the fire is on fire!

However, as soon as Moss's feet landed, he only had time to complete the turn, and was chased and intercepted by three defenders.

Still, Moss shook his body's center of gravity, like a dribble on a soccer field, shook off a defender and continued to push forward two yards before he was forced to fall to the ground and stop his push.

Two gears and three yards.

Lu Ke was still standing in the pistol formation, turned around and handed the football to Marcus.

Marcus took a quick step, flashed out from behind Lu Ke, and then stepped up behind Goodwin. This time, the offensive forward line was not able to tear apart the gap in the opponent's defensive front, but chose to push forward with heavy shoulders -

Rupatti and Stanley, Anthony and Boone all converged towards the central area to form an arrow-like advance formation, plus Marcus, with a hard-hitting push of pure power, slammed into the defensive forward line, and continued to push yard by yard.

This is the most retro and primitive way to run the ball, and in the case of misplaced power, it is often able to complete the task of advancing in short yards.

In fact, this kind of advancement is very rare in the San Francisco 49ers offensive group, because Marcus Lynch and Frank Goyle are not strong running backs, and Bruce Miller is a standard traditional full-back - that is, the best candidate for a strong rush, but Miller's ability is still limited, and more often he appears as a tactical pawn to change the pace, and it is easy to expose tactical intentions when he plays at critical moments.

The Chicago Bears apparently didn't anticipate that either. The first reaction was slightly half a beat behind, and then the offensive front line and Marcus had successfully pushed forward.

But then, the Chicago Bears defense team stepped up in time, like a dam, piling up layer upon layer, and the naked eye could see that Marcus's advance slowed down.

In the end, all the players on both sides were hoarded near the first line, unable to advance or retreat, and it was completely a /meat/mountain.

The referees struggled to pull the players away one by one and found Marcus buried underneath, and then found that Marcus's fallen position was somewhat ambiguous; The referees called for a measuring stick, and after measuring it, it was confirmed that there were still a few inches left and they were not able to complete the first attack.

Three gears of inches.

The San Francisco 49ers once again unexpectedly chose a shotgun formation, and also cleared the backcourt - Marcus stood on the right side of Lu Ke, and there were no players in sight behind Lu Ke, and the entire backcourt was completely emptied, which was a clear passing formation.

In such a situation, running the ball is the best option, and it is also possible to "arch a yard" as a quarterback, because it almost only takes a push forward to complete, but the San Francisco 49ers actually chose to pass? It's completely a gambler's style, and it's hard to figure out.

Is this a smoke bomb?

Answer: No.

After kicking off, Lu Ke pulled sideways in small steps, and quickly shot diagonally forward to the right side, almost completing the pass at the same time as touching the ball with both hands.

The speed of the shot is really too fast, the Chicago Bear is still guessing the possibility of running the ball, the eyes of the linebackers are staring at Marcus, but they didn't expect Lu Ke to pass the ball, a little difference in starting speed is fatal for a situation like "three gears and a few inches"!

Lu Ke's pass target was Logan Newman, and the whole pass was low and fast, just two yards diagonally in front of him, and the time it took for the cornerback to step up as much as possible.

Charles Tillman's reaction speed was very fast, but it was still half a beat slower, and Logan had already made a catch-catch gesture, and when he was about to finish receiving the ball, Tillman only had time to rush through with a flying movement, barely destroying Logan's body balance.

Logan didn't expect that as soon as his hands touched the rugby, his knees suddenly went limp, the catch gesture went wrong, and then the rugby changed its trajectory and jumped out of bounds, like a rocket.

On the one hand, Logan's negligence, his attention was still not enough, and there was a mistake in the control of the center of gravity; On the other hand, Tillman's strength and perseverance in defensive positioning created the possibility for this defense.

As the league's most competitive cornerback this season, Tillman lived up to his name, and he was highly focused against his rivals in the same district, and so far, he has successfully defended two passes on this side, and the intercepted catch point is the opponent's best form at the moment, Logan, this ability is amazing.

What's more, now that the San Francisco 49ers are out with a strikeout, they have to face a fourth-gear multi-inch situation!

"I didn't expect it, I didn't think of it at all!"

"The San Francisco 49ers offensive group, which has always been tough and consistent this season, has now suffered two consecutive strikeouts, of course, the offensive team is still outstanding, from the point of view of details, just a fraction of a small miss to the final first offensive conversion, which is embarrassing; But on the other hand, the discrepancies in detail also show the pressure exerted by the Chicago Bears defense. ”

"After a season and a half, the San Francisco 49ers offensive team has become the subject of study for all teams in the league, and now the Chicago Bears have not only studied it deeply, but also have the ability to execute, and in the two waves of defense so far, they have suppressed the opponent to the death, wow, what a surprise! It's also so exciting! ”

"The San Francisco 49ers offense really met a tough opponent! The intensity and momentum of the Chicago Bears' defensive team was even more aggressive than last season's Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, this game is good! I mean, it's really good-looking! ”

……

After Logan missed the catch, he curled up his fists in disbelief and stood there in frustration and frustration, "Ahhhh "I couldn't believe my mistake, and then I banged on my helmet so hard that I didn't know what to do.

Lu Ke stood in place, his heart contracted slightly, and he inevitably had mood fluctuations, but he still took a deep breath to calm himself down, and said through the earphones, "Coach, fourth gear, I want to play strongly." ”

"Okay." Hubble didn't pause or hesitate, to be precise, his thoughts were even more resolute than Lu Ke's, "Let's play this tactic next......
