The San Francisco 49ers' offensive group went wrong, but the point is, what went wrong?

Attacking forwards? The five-player team is still in the run-in stage, and there will inevitably be some mistakes, and the pressure on the quarterbacks in the first half is indeed a bit high, but overall, the front line is young enough, focused enough, impactful enough, and pocket protection is far from terrible.

Receiver? With three wide receivers and a near end, such a configuration is no problem, but Ted Jean's running path has no tearing power and few opportunities to perform; Michael Crabtree and Kyle Williams have been inconsistent in form and have had their ups and downs, with at least two catches they were aiming for, both of which they missed; Logan Newman, on the other hand, unexpectedly showed bravery, especially the tacit understanding with the quarterback, which became an important magic weapon for the 49ers to destroy the city.

Running back? Anthony Dixon's form is indeed mediocre, and when the offensive front line is well protected, he is unable to form a breakthrough and advance, and every offense only runs one or two yards, which makes the team's offense slow to open up. There was even a drop of the ball that led to a conversion of possession.

Or quarterback? In the first two attacks, Lu Ke's judgment was sharp, his passing was accurate, and he was not surprised, and he brought two touchdowns in just seven shifts, which was definitely the biggest contributor to the 49ers taking the lead in the first half.

So, with the same configuration and the same players, why did the whole offense fall into a quagmire? Just because the running back is not in good shape? Or is it because the quarterbacks are not able to adapt to the pace of the game? The high-intensity confrontation of two consecutive quarters of the game caused the competitiveness of the quarterback to plummet?

Lu Ke's physical fitness is indeed worrying.

Throughout the first half, there was so much information that Jim needed a little bit of time to calm down and clear his mind.

At this time, the figure of Bobby Engram appeared in the players' tunnel, stopped in front of Jim, handed over the report in his hand, didn't say anything, turned and walked into the locker room.

During the game, team manager Trent Balk led a team to watch the game in the VIP room above the pitch, while analysing their own and opponent's tactics, as well as how the situation on the pitch had changed.

On the one hand, they communicate with the coaching staff in real time to make adjustments to the team's tactics; On the other hand, at the end of the first half, they will provide a player statistic and a tactical report for the coach to refer to, and then readjust the tactics for the second half.

It was the report that Bobby handed Jim.

After a quick flip through the report, Jim's brow furrowed, his eyes fell on several sets of important data, and he fell into deep thought.

……

At the same time, the atmosphere in the dressing room was slightly depressing, and everyone could feel that the team was not running smoothly at the moment, but they could only watch the leopard in the middle of it, and they didn't understand what was going on or how to adjust. For a moment, everyone was silent and looked at each other.

In silence, only the sound of rough and impatient gasps could be heard, and the air gradually became tense.

Lu Ke raised his head and looked at his teammates, he knew that at this time, a leader had to stand up to boost morale and make the locker room lively again.

Generally speaking, this job is most appropriate for the quarterback to do it, but the problem is that Lu Ke is a one-year rookie and has no such qualifications, and Parres Harrelson is the one who should step up, but Parres, who performed badly today, is now too busy to take care of himself, how can he help his teammates?

It's also one of the serious problems facing San Francisco's 49-man locker room.

What's more, Lu Ke doesn't have the energy to enliven the locker room atmosphere now. It was the first time he had actually played a full game — or at least was prepared to play a full game, which he hadn't played since graduating from high school, and it was the highest intensity in the NFL, the professional league, with little breathing room in the midst of the Seattle Seahawks' swoop.

In just two quarters of the game, Lu Ke has suffered at least five powerful head-on impacts, and as for those second-level collisions and frictions, there are countless of them. The Seahawks' defensive team has obviously strengthened the intensity of the raid and the degree of pressure, and Lu Ke only feels like a little butterfly in the middle of the stormy seas, even if he is fully concentrated, he is still full of devastation.

The shortcomings of physical fitness and the lack of athletic talent were gradually revealed in the first official game.

Of course, Lu Ke can blame the attacking forwards for not protecting their pockets tightly enough; He can also blame the running back, his rushing ball for not being able to share the pressure.

However, condemning others will not solve the problem, in the final analysis, Lu Ke's own physical fitness is still crucial, as a quarterback in football, confrontation, collision, touching, this is an inevitable part of his career.

Before the start of the first regular season, Lu Ke's daily training tasks completed another cycle and earned a base point.

At that time, he chose to add on top of running with the ball, and 61 points became 62 points; But now, he regrets it, he should add it to the option of physical fitness, and the physical fitness of sixty-four points, above the professional arena, is really not enough to see. If he can win today's fight, he will have to add points in terms of fitness, but, if he can win the match.

Now, there are two quarters left in the game.

……

"Bang", the door to the locker room was pushed open, and Jim Hubble walked in with a solemn expression, looking at the lifeless locker room, he hesitated for a moment. However, in the end, he did not cheer for the players, nor did he scold the performance in the first half, but said bluntly, "In the second half, we have to cheer up, and the tactics need to make some adjustments." Lynch! ”

The first target to be named was Marcus Lynch, the running back.

"And Hunter. In the second half, the two of you are ready to go on the pitch and rotate with Dixon. Jim took the lead, and it was really Dixon, who was not performing well, but he didn't let Dixon go directly, but rotated.

In rugby, there are actually subdivisions of running backs: full backs and half-backs.

It can be easily understood that the full back is one size bigger than the half back.

Traditionally, the main duty of a full-back has been to clear the way for a half-back as a guide, or to hit some short yards. Full-backs require a lot of strength, as they need to use their shoulders to push the opposing linebacker as quickly as possible in the first shot, and then grab another defender on the opposite side with both hands to protect the half-back or quarterback behind them.

The best way to identify a full defender is to look at the position. In fact, strictly speaking, the full guard will only appear in one formation, that is, the "I" formation, standing behind the quarterback and taking a three-point start, it is generally the full guard.

Full guards are almost a position to run the ball, they are heavier, slower, and relatively single-functional, and now that the whole league has entered the era of passing offense, the importance of full guards is gradually declining; At the same time, many running backs have gradually developed into all-round types, with both full-back and half-back abilities.

So, the whole guard is gradually disappearing; In addition, the use of two-runbacks in the offensive team is gradually disappearing. As for the three-runback, it's a retro formation from a distant past.

Of the San Francisco 49ers' five-man running back lineup, there is only one full guard, and that's Kendall Hunter.

Once the full guard is dispatched, it is a posture of strong rushing the ball; Coupled with the tough, iron-fisted Marcus who rushes the ball, it can be seen that Jim still hopes that running can open up the situation, otherwise the 49ers will be very passive.

Marcus and Kendall, both rookies, bounced up and down like little fleas, and their funny gestures eased the atmosphere in the locker room a little.

"Lu Ke." Jim didn't pause, then shouted.

Lu Ke was squeezing his eyebrows at Marcus in celebration, when he suddenly heard his name, he quickly restrained his smile and raised his head to meet the head coach's gaze.

Jim let out a long breath and seemed to be going through a fierce psychological struggle, but he had never been an indecisive character, so he put his hands on his waist and said crisply, "In the second half, we started to attack in a shotgun formation. The command on the field is handed over to you, as for the whole tactical trend, as well as the defensive formation of the Sea Hawks, we will still tell you through the built-in headphones of the helmet, you don't have to worry too much, let go of your hands and feet......"

The words behind had disappeared, and Lu Ke looked at Jim in surprise, with incredulity in his eyes. In fact, not only Lu Ke, but the other team members were also stunned, and Colin Kaepernick, who came to Candlestick Field with the team, almost dislocated his jaw.

Shotgun formation! It's actually a shotgun formation!

Pistol formations and shotgun formations are two of the most common offensive tactics used in rugby.

The former attaches great importance to the balance of passing and running, it is possible to pass and run, and even the quarterback can hold the ball to complete the advancement by himself, which is complex and varied; The latter concentrated his firepower, immediately put on a passing stance, and launched a head-to-head duel with a hard bridge to maximize the quarterback's passing ability.

The same tactics, in the hands of different teams, can evolve different powers, according to the ability of the quarterback, the ability of the running back, and the ability of the offensive forward.

Choosing a shotgun formation means that Jim Hubble has chosen to wholeheartedly believe in Lu Ke's passing ability!

For a one-year rookie quarterback, for a quarterback who has only started for the first time in his career in the NCAA and NFL combined, it's incredible! What's more, the quarterback is still a player of Chinese descent, and today's game has just made history!

Now, Jim actually chose to trust Lu Ke?

Is Jim Hubble sure there is no brain water? Is Jim Hubble sure he hasn't lost his mind? Jim Hubble ...... Are you sure it's Jim Hubble and not a clone or something? Is Jim Hubble sure he knows what he's doing?
