“Attack!”
At the end of the game, there was no need to hesitate. With McWey's order, the offensive players on the field scattered like scattered bullets. These people shuttled back and forth, forming a huge net of catches, waiting for Yi Fan's pass to come. At the same time, Cleon is also like a beast, unleashing a powerful impact on the pocket.
While Luis didn't have much advantage against Pathenon, he wasn't the only wide receiver on the field. Pfister and newcomer McGee are both likely to be key players, and both have pretty good catch-up abilities.
McGee didn't have much of a name compared to Pfister, and in the first two years, he spent the first two years aiming to train the lineup, and couldn't even make the bench until the third year, when the team's wide receiver lineup dropped significantly because of the departure of Luiz, which gave him a chance to play.
Because of Cleon's existence, the time left for Yi Fan's passing option is only a short one or two seconds, as long as there is a trace of hesitation, he will be killed by the opponent and fall to the ground. Fortunately, he had just undergone Snell's frisbee training, and his vision had broadened a lot, so he could still remain calm in such an emergency situation.
He knew that if he wanted to get the ball out of bounds and stop the clock time, he would have to play two flanks. That's what the coaching staff did, so the rest of the guy's cover revolved around making space for Luis and Ffister.
Among the several wide receivers on the field, in addition to Luis, Yifan is most familiar with the genius Pfister, but his ability to receive the ball was also targeted by the opponent early on, and his marking was not pulled down from the beginning, which also made him have no major data in this game.
With little time left to adjust, Yi Fan spotted Pfister's position, roughly estimated his sprint distance, and threw the ball vigorously towards the left wing. Pfister didn't suffer much in one-on-one, but after seeing Yi Fan's pass, the Cardinals' security guard was not idle, and immediately went to Pfister, forming a two-on-one situation. It was also a very successful defensive arrangement for the Cardinals.
Once there are two people in the middle, no matter how outstanding Pfister's ability is, it will not be so easy to catch the ball. When there is a physical confrontation, it will inevitably affect the speed of the sprint, and naturally it will not be able to reach the predetermined receiving point.
In addition, Yi Fan was worried about being intercepted by the opponent, so he couldn't help but increase the strength of the pass in his hand, which made the ball fall more forward.
The first gear attack failed, although it did not get promoted, but it only lost more than ten seconds, which is not unacceptable.
But Yifan knew in his heart that there were not many opportunities left for him to attack. If the second-gear offense doesn't open up the situation, the pressure on the third- and fourth-gear offenses will only be greater.
Thinking of this, he didn't care about the time. After kick-off, the Cardinals once again increased their marking of the second line, not giving Yi Fan any chance to pass the ball. In the flash of lightning, Yi Fan first made a pass feint towards Matthews, and then followed by Favors to cover and run forward from his right side.
Because the safety guard was transferred to the second line, the only one who blocked Yifan's advance near the front line was actually the opponent's left end forward, who weighed more than 200 pounds, looked fat, and his running speed was naturally not much faster.
Yi Fan rushed straight in front of him and shook him with a back turn. But when he wanted to move forward, he felt as if something was stumbling under his feet, and his body lost its center of gravity, and then fell heavily to the ground. Fortunately, the ball was tightly clamped under the armpit, but the person fell and the ball did not suffer any effect.
At the same time, Johnson quickly used a timeout in his hand to jam the time.
Yi Fan, who was suppressed by the crowd, didn't know who was making his hand at him, and after asking Matthews, he found that it was Cleon who grabbed his calf and came over quickly in the middle to help defend him.
"That guy came to you in a blink of an eye, and the speed was really fast, and he didn't have time to stop him."
Matthews looked helpless, and after Yi Fan was ready to rush, he joined the ranks of covering and blocking, but in front of those linemen, he was like a doll, and he was useless at all. In the face of Cleon's quick defense, he couldn't even delay for half a second.
Although it didn't achieve the expected goal, it was able to get a 6-yard push in the second gear, and it became a lot easier to get 4 yards in the third gear. It's just that this kind of ground battle is what the Cardinals want to see the most, they are not even afraid of losing distance by four or five yards, they are afraid that you pass the ball out of bounds, because this kind of small-distance ground battle is definitely not enough.
"If it goes on like this, the Wolverines will really end here."
The male editor saw Yi Fan's helplessness, the passing attack is not like the ground advancement, as long as he runs forward. Passing and passing is to have a pass and a receive, not only to pass accurately, but also to receive the ball accurately. One is indispensable.
In previous games, the defense of other teams focused on rushing and passing to Yi Fan, like bullying him for his inexperience and slight lack of body, but he was finally defeated again and again. This time, the Cardinals focused on the receiving end of the ball, and then explained that Patmon's interception left a big shadow on Yi Fan, so there were few challenges in the middle and long distances.
“ATTACK!”
There were only four yards left in the third gear, so he played a short pass with Luiz and won the first attack first. With the advantage of starting speed, Luis has no problem taking this kind of distance within five yards. After jumping up to catch the ball, he took advantage of the situation and threw it off the field and successfully went out of bounds to stop the watch.
"Thirty-five yards left, cover Pfister, and directly challenge the touchdown zone."
Coach Johnson made timely arrangements, and with just over three minutes left, there was not much time left to squander. If you continue to play in gear like this, let alone more than three minutes, even if you have more than ten or eight minutes, it will not be enough.
"Pfister, it's up to you."
Yi Fan took the initiative to step forward and shake his hand, of course, this action was blocked by his own teammates, and the Cardinals' defenders did not see it.
"Five seconds, then the ball will go to the touchdown zone, and then it's up to you."
Yifan was full of confidence in his words, and it seemed that he could really do the same. You must know that in the previous two hours or so, the wolverines had not been able to carry their pockets for so long.
"It's okay, it will work here. I believe in Mike Will. ”
After listening to Yi Fan's words, Pfister was stunned for a moment, he couldn't imagine that at such a critical juncture, he would actually maintain such a tough style, whether he could do it or not, he had to do it, it sounded like an order in the army.
But in this way, the task is clear. Let McGee and even Luis also cover to attract the attention of the mid laner and make room for Pfister to single.
At the pocket end, Matthews came off the court to replace Isoble, and Favors was involved in pocket protection to maximize the time possible.
