1214 Set sail again

The transfer of wide receiver Ankuang Bolting is undoubtedly one of the most important additions to the San Francisco 49ers' overstretched wide receiver lineup, if the two wide receivers of Bolding and Jean can work together as soon as possible, plus Vernon and Logan's two close forwards, then the team's offensive weapons can still remain relatively stable before the start of the new season.

In the official training camp, wide receivers are still the key positions, and with the addition of tryout players, Jim Hubble has stockpiled nine wide receivers to test in different permutations, hoping to leave five to six players in the final 53-man squad to prepare for the new season.

For the San Francisco 49ers, this year's training camp was a daunting task.

Overall, although there has been a large number of substitutions in the defensive group, this poses more challenges to the three-gear defense and the red zone defense; However, the starting lineup has remained basically stable, which also means that it is imperative to strengthen the defensive strength of the rotation players and substitutes in the training camp.

The problems faced by the attacking group were slightly different.

Of course, the severe shortage of wide receivers, the improvement of the running back position, etc., are all problems that cannot be ignored, but the more important and serious problems are:

Over the past two seasons, the team's West Coast offensive system has gradually revealed its full picture, with all the hole cards on display, and the other 31 teams are repeatedly studying the San Francisco 49ers' tactical system; As the defending champions this year, the challenge is bound to be even more difficult.

This also means that the attacking team must polish their tactical system more solidly and more variedly, and now that the existing hole cards have been revealed, they need to create more new hole cards.

The passing offense is undoubtedly the centerpiece of the San Francisco 49ers' entire team. After completing Lu Ke's contract extension in the offseason, all the tactical systems are now built around Lu Ke as the core, not only the offensive group, but also the related tactics of the defensive group and the special service group have also changed to a greater or lesser extent.

Lu Ke could clearly feel that his tasks in the training camp were starting to become onerous, not only to get used to the new players, but also to constantly think about more tactical changes. It can be seen from the team's training camp preparations, in addition to the wide receivers, Hubble has also stockpiled a large number of trial players at the running back and quarterback positions:

The running guard is to relieve the passing pressure of the quarterback, and both Goyle and Marcus will need to improve their form.

The quarterback is not to replace Lu Ke, but to better study offensive tactics. Lu Ke, in particular, is an offensive talent in his own right, and has often been able to adapt his tactics to the game during the past two seasons, and now he needs a different style of quarterback to inspire more and ensure that the offensive team can be more versatile in training and tactics.

For Lu Ke, this is a challenge! A new and exciting challenge! In addition to competing as the defending champion, Year 3 is full of more freshness and excitement than the previous two seasons.

Now in the quarterback group, there are four substitute players in addition to Lu Ke:

Colin Kaepernick, a third-year pick, McLeod-Bethel-Thompson, a 2011 loser, Colt-McCoy, an 85th pick in the 3rd round in 2010, and BJ Daniels, a 237th pick in the seventh round this year.

Among them, Kaepernick, McCoy, and Daniels are all running quarterbacks, Kaepernick's running ball is stronger than passing, Daniels is relatively balanced, and McCoy's passing is stronger than running the ball; In addition, Thompson is a traditional pocket quarterback like Lu Ke, but Thompson still runs slightly more than Lu Ke.

In other words, the five players have different playing styles and tactical layouts, and each player may have different choices in the same situation, which also makes the tactical combination of the attacking group suddenly changeable. The coaching team, led by Jim Hubble and Craig Roman, is tasked with constantly thinking about more potential tactical layouts; Lu Ke's task is to gather the quarterback team, keep experimenting and practicing, evolve the coaching staff's ideas into reality, and test the feasibility and success rate.

This is not an easy task.

But Lu Ke enjoyed it, and it could even be said to be enjoyable.

Before you know it, pre-season has arrived.

In the first week of August, the San Francisco 49ers welcomed their first preseason opponent, the Denver Broncos, at Candlestick Stadium.

Last season, the "Lu Ke VS Da Manning" showdown was widely regarded as a dream lineup of the Super Bowl, but unfortunately, it was not able to make it in the end; And this season, the matchup between the two quarterbacks is still full of highlights, even if it is only a preseason game, it has also attracted a lot of attention.

Lu Ke and Payton Manning both played in the first quarter, and the two players were evenly divided, scoring a passing touchdown each before both leaving the court with the backup quarterback for the remaining three quarters.

The San Francisco 49ers' four backup quarterbacks took turns to come on and continue to hone in the tactical permutations, but the effect was far less than expected, on the one hand, the quarterbacks' defensive reading, tactical execution, and on-the-spot adaptation were obviously not well prepared, and the entire offense seemed fragmented, and there were even ultra-low-level mistakes that did not know where to move after the kickoff.

On the other hand, the wide receivers' route runs were a complete mess, Ted Jean only appeared in the first half of the first quarter, and the rest of the time was all by new wide receivers, but the headless fly's route run was a disaster, they didn't understand the manual enough, and they often executed the tactics in the opposite direction, which also made the quarterbacks further in a dilemma.

That's rugby.

If wide receivers and close forwards can't catch the ball, then a quarterback with three heads and six arms won't be able to do anything.

Although the Denver Broncos' bench performance was also extremely poor, they still walked away with a score of "7-10" to take a win away from the road and get the preseason off to a good start.

People were expecting a head-to-head battle, which turned out to be a turn-by-mistakes showdown, much to the disappointment of all spectators.

ESPN's "within the league" comment was undoubtedly the most professional and pertinent: the defending champions were trying to change, but it was clear that change would take a painful period and still not working, so the performance was very bad. Then there's a serious test of the quality of the coaching staff and the players, otherwise they could have been in pain all the way to the regular season, which is definitely not good news.

In the second week of August, the San Francisco 49ers traveled to take on the Kansas Chiefs.

Last year, Alex Smith moved to Kansas, but suffered an injury season and struggled; This year, San Francisco and Kansas have completed a series of cooperative player trades, and it can be seen that the team managers of the two teams have a close personal relationship.

Before the official start of the game, Lu Ke and Alex Smith were still standing together and talking and laughing, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is still good. Alex also teased himself, "I shouldn't have transferred, look at what I'm missing." ”

However, Lu Ke and Alex did not appear, and the team is still honing the bench lineup.

Lu Ke stood beside the coach of the offensive team, assumed the role of assistant to the on-site tactical commander, commanded the four backup quarterbacks to take turns on the court, and was also responsible for explaining tactics during the break.

"15:13", with the home team in front and the away team behind, the Kansas Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers. The defending champions suffered two consecutive defeats in pre-season.

Worse than the two consecutive defeats, the offensive tactics in these two games were a mess, the scoring was far below expectations, and the fluency of the past two seasons was completely lost, not to mention the intelligence of the strategy and the resourcefulness of the on-the-spot adaptation - the quarterback's position in the brains of the entire offensive group can be seen, even the system quarterback.

After the game, the coaching staff deliberated and took the lead in cutting this year's seven-round pick BJ Daniels.

Although Daniels was relatively balanced, he lacked both abilities, especially the Oxford Dictionary tactical manual in San Francisco, and was not able to keep up with the progress, so he was laid off, and then he went to Seattle Seahawks to find a place in San Francisco's rival lineup - the sparring team.

In the third week of August, the San Francisco 49ers returned to play at home against the Minnesota Vikings.

Lu Ke still has a truce.

But Kaepernick and McCoy both played at a brilliant level and finally opened the game, shining in both halves to successfully repel the visiting Minnesota Vikings with a "34-14" victory for their first preseason victory.

In the fourth week of August, the San Francisco 49ers traveled again to take on the San Diego Chargers.

Lu Ke finally came on the pitch, he played a quarter of the game, scored a touchdown steadily, and advanced to the free-kick area once, earning the team 10 points before going off for the break.

Kaepernick and McCoy took over the game again, and both men exploded with an unbelievable desire to play, scoring two touchdowns and a free kick each to complete the preseason run with a 6-41 victory.

Before the regular season officially began, the coaching staff had to make trade-offs in order to shrink down to a 53-man squad.

In the past two seasons, the team has always been equipped with three quarterbacks, and if it sounds good, it is prepared, and if it is bad, it is impossible to fully trust Lu Ke; This year, however, the situation is different, with only one backup quarterback and one more player at other positions.

Hubble asked McCoy if he would like to stay on the sparring team, and McCoy refused, still hoping to stay on the 53-man squad, and eventually McCoy left the team and went to the Washington Redskins to join the 53-man squad as a backup quarterback.

As a result, Kaepernick served as a backup quarterback, and Thompson stayed on the sparring team.

The new season is about to begin!
