Faced with the San Francisco 49ers' bold and frantic shotgun formation, the Arizona Cardinals defense was immediately in trouble. Originally, in the confrontation, the defense was the passive side, and now the 49-man full-fire formation has further allowed the defensive group to be completely contained, so should they respond to all changes with the same, or should they take the initiative to attack?

Patrick Peterson turned his head to the captain of the defensive team, defensive end Calais Campbell, and then noticed that their defensive formation had changed slightly, with a safety guard taking the initiative to advance the position, heavily defending in the short pass area, and adding short pass and running ball defense, what does this mean?

The Cardinals' defensive formation can be simply divided into two parts, and the short passing area is full of ten players, which is the first part; A security guard landed twelve yards away, and this was the second part.

Alone at the end of the line, Adrian Wilson's job is obvious, as the Cardinals' backcourt is the last safe door, guarding against potential long-pass raids.

The second part is relatively simple, and the first part is the part where the defensive tactics change.

The 10 players in the first part include four defensive forwards, three linebacks, two cornerbacks, and one security guard in the early position.

The Cardinals refused to back down and carried out today's raid tactics throughout, insisting on putting enough pressure on the quarterbacks, winning more space and timing for the defense in the passing offense, and showing the aggressiveness of the defense.

The other six players are all pass-defensive positions, the left side of the Cardinals, which corresponds to the right side of the 49ers, for a total of four players; On the right side of the Cardinals, there are two players.

Thanks to the early assistance of a safety guard, the three linebacks can maintain their offensive without dropping back, and if they have the opportunity, they will take the initiative to rush forward and join the ranks of the defensive front line to complete the sack of the quarterback; If they don't have the chance, they join the wing-backs and back-to-backs, defending short and mid-pass areas and looking for opportunities to defend potential runaways.

To put it simply, they took precautions against Lu Ke's quick kick-off and quick shots, and maintained their aggressiveness. The price is that the defense in the backcourt was sacrificed, and the quarterback raid in the front court was hoped that Lu Ke would not leave a respite for long passes.

It can be said that this is a very active and strong defensive formation with an attacking force.

In the third 16-yard range, the San Francisco 49ers had to push a full 16 yards to get their first attack again, which put the 49ers in a difficult position and gave the Cardinals more risky capital.

Refined to the defensive line, first on the left side of the Cardinals, as a cornerback, Peterson's defensive target was switched, and Logan came to the outside to form a one-on-one confrontation with Peterson.

Vernon, who was standing on the inside, handed over to outside defender Schofield to mark; In addition, Sean-Considine, an early security guard, is about three yards behind and can make up for Logan and Vernon at any time.

In addition to this, there is also a Marcus who should not be forgotten, and the central defender Reggie Volker will be in charge of marking; Then, defensive end Nick Eason -

After Docott went off injured, Ethan, who rotated into the game, will decide whether to continue the raid or defend Marcus based on the game after kick-off. But his main task is clearly to raid the quarterback.

On this side, three receivers play against four defenders, two linebacks, one cornerback and one safety guard; On the other side, it was relatively light, with two players, Crabtree and Jean, playing against only two defenders, a cornerback and a lineback.

From the perspective of the whole court, Crabtree and cornerback Richard Marshall undoubtedly have an absolute advantage, so Adrian Wilson, who is standing on the second line, is also slightly biased to this side, once Lu Ke passes the ball to Crabplot, he is bound to step forward to help defend and avoid Crabtree completing the big yardage advancement.

……

Standing in the pocket, Lu Ke condescendingly took in all the players who bent down, looked at all the counterpoints in the short passing area again, and after confirming that it was correct, he slowly bent down, stretched out his hands, and in the tight and almost suffocating air, his eyes deliberately glanced at Peterson, and then loudly announced the kick-off.

"Attack!"

In an instant, all the players in the field scattered like heavenly flowers, after Lu Ke firmly grasped the rugby ball with both hands, after the shotgun formation, he stepped back quickly and methodically, further opening up the passing space, and the entire stadium was spread out in front of him like a model blueprint.

On the right side, Marcus, who was on the outside of the slot, successfully tore a gap and appeared on the right side of the middle, which was a short pass of five yards, Lu Ke did not hesitate, and immediately raised his arm to try to complete the pass; But before the arm movement could be completed, he saw the quick fill-in of the central lineback Volcker, and the safety guard Considin behind him, the two of them quickly wrapped, and the passing gap was fleeting.

To make matters worse, defensive forwards Ethan and Campbell on this side deliberately tore through the pockets of the offensive forward after deliberately missing Marcus, and Anthony Davis and Joe Stanley were struggling to prop up, but the two men were still losing and seeing that their pockets were about to be torn.

Immediately, Lu Ke's footsteps quickly moved sideways to the left, his arm was lowered again, and his vision shifted to the left, and then he caught Crab Tree's gap, and the opposing Marshall couldn't get stuck at all, and Crab Tree had already used his body advantage to top a small passing window.

For Lu Ke, this window is enough, and it only takes a shadow pass behind the shoulder to find Crabtree tree.

Raising his hand, drawing the bow, and waving his arm, Lu Ke's entire body center of gravity and footsteps began to move, but then a wall appeared in his sight, and the offensive interceptor Adam Schneider, who came on as a substitute for Chino Hachar, was already overwhelmed and almost unable to support it, which not only blocked Lu Ke's passing route, but also rushed hard.

The sight in the blind area didn't notice at all, Lu Ke slowed down by half a beat, his knee weakened, and then he staggered back two steps, and lost Crabtree's passing line in his sight.

The wind and rain, the complete wind and rain, the left and right sides of the pocket were already in jeopardy, and the sense of crisis that the building was about to collapse surged from all directions, leaving almost no breathing room for Lu Ke - it was only two seconds, and in just two seconds, the opponent put enough pressure on the pocket and interrupted Lu Ke's two passing opportunities.

Lu Ke looked like a flat boat in the stormy waves, but he gritted his teeth, held back the breath in his chest, stiffly straightened his knees, and an incredibly powerful force erupted in his body, following the inertia of his body, he did not retreat or move laterally, but took two big strides forward against the current.

Desperately, he once again came to a calm place the size of a palm in his pocket, and the front and back had begun to fall apart, but Lu Ke still did not give up, raised his chin, and quickly looked for a passing target in the limited field of vision.

A pot of porridge, the entire short pass area has been completely messed up into a pot of porridge, white and dark red figures are intertwined with each other like a meteor shower, weaving into a big net, strictly covering the short pass area, dark and dark, it seems that not even a ray of light can be captured.

At this moment, at the last moment, Lu Ke caught a faint ray of light: I found it!

At the moment when the passing window was about to close, Lu Ke's soles of his feet slammed into force, fiercely rushing forward, and the passing action of his arm was not even able to be completed, just drew a quarter of a circle, purely relying on the strength of his forearm and the rapid shaking of his wrist, all the remaining energy in his body burst out between the electric light and flint, pushing the rugby out.

Burn one's ship! Put all one’s eggs in one basket!

At the moment of the shot, Lu Ke's whole person was under the action of inertia, and he hit Jonathan Goodwin's back fiercely and heavily, repeatedly hitting a wall, and fell to the ground in embarrassment, but his eyes followed the rugby closely, staring and motionless.

Full moon scimitar, slashing across the sky!

……

At the moment of tee-off, Peterson could clearly feel the rush of adrenaline, and his feet were like stepping on rockets, and he rushed towards Logan Newman with a single start; But surprisingly, Logan did not choose the receiving route in the short pass area to run, and also rushed over with a momentum like a bamboo, and the powerful run was like a rhinoceros charge, and the power was amazing.

See, two trains running at high speed are about to collide head-on!

Peterson knew that he would not be able to gain the upper hand in a physical duel, and with a brief burst of survival instinct/ability, he swerved off the rails, but he was still slammed into the shoulder, his body being flipped over like a piece of paper, and his whole center of gravity was spinning like a spinning top.

Peterson held his weight tightly, glanced back at Logan, who was walking away, and then realized that it was a cover, as the other four receivers were all moving in the short pass area, and Lu Ke's first pass was Marcus Lynch, who was choked.

Peterson immediately realised that Vernon should be the next passing target, otherwise how could he have improvised a two-striker strategy? The near end is a beacon in the short passing area, and it is a matter of demand.

As a result, Peterson readjusted his body, and Schofield completed the convergence left and right, pinching Vernon, and Peterson went further, missed Vernon's position, grabbed in front of Vernon, and made a copy preparation.

But at this moment, Peterson saw Lu Ke's high-speed cannonball arm, as well as the rugby ball that drew a huge rainbow in the sky, standing in place dumbfounded, his head blank for an instant:

This, what's going on?
