1069 Thunderstorm
Among the Atlanta Falcons' entire defensive lineup, the strongest and most prominent are undoubtedly the two security guards, Thomas Dward and William Moore.
Prior to this season, the two security guards who entered the league in 2008 and 2009 respectively did not have any particularly impressive performances, but the new defensive coach Mike-Nolan (Mike-Nolan), who joined the offensive team, injected a different vitality into the team's defense, and the overall strength has made great progress, and the tacit cooperation between Deward and Moore has become the team's most important gate.
Although Dward and Moore are relatively limited in their individual abilities and are slightly inferior to Seattle Seahawks' Earl Thomas and Kem Chancellor, the overall defensive team has been exceptionally good in terms of tactical execution and teamwork, and has been on a par with each other for the season, especially when it comes to defending long passes.
One of the highlights of this game is the head-on confrontation between Lu Ke's long passing ability and the security guard's ability to block together.
However, so far, Lu Ke's entire attack has been thick and steady, and he has never shown his edge, and people are almost about to forget about this pair of confrontational combinations; But at this moment, Lu Ke sacrificed his housekeeping skills without warning, and a quick rainbow pass was like an unsheathed long sword, and the bright blade light slid over the Candlestick Stadium.
"Whoosh", a light and silent break in the air.
"Rub", the momentum of a loud crack.
……
Logan is steadily adjusting his pace, and he is facing Sean-eatherspoon, one of the defensive captains, and the No. 54 perimeter guard.
Weatherspoon joined the Falcons with the 19th pick in the first round in 2010, but the past two seasons have not been able to meet expectations for a first-round pick.
At this point, Weatherspoon hesitated a little, and he was making a decision whether he should return to the short pass area or follow Logan deep into the long pass area.
The lineback's coverage area is still mainly short passing, and once he gets into a state of acceleration and rushing, Weatherspoon's defensive ability will gradually decline, and the long passing area is not his comfort zone. Especially now that the quarterback is still in control of the football and has not taken a shot, which means that the short passing area is still dangerous.
Weatherspoon's gaze quickly swept to his right-hand side, where interior lineback Akeem-Dent was tangling with Vernon, the two men were stuck in each other's positions, inextricably linked, and little by little in the entanglement, they pushed deeper into the mid-range area.
Little by little, Akim is losing his place. Although Vernon's receiving form has not returned to its peak for a long time, his ability to pick up and fight is still undoubted; What's more, Crabtree in the last game is the best role model, who can be sure that this game will not be Vernon's turn?
Weatherspoon is making a quick judgment.
Logan caught Weatherspoon's hesitation. This is the difference between an elite lineback and a blue-collar linebacker, in the ever-changing process of the game, every judgment, every observation, every decision must be made in an instant, even if it is just a thousandth of a second, can lead to a completely different outcome in a fierce confrontation.
Logan sped up in an instant.
Always advancing steadily, he suddenly released all his strength, leaving Weatherspoon behind with a staggered step, and then two big strides widened the distance between each other, gradually increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and advancing towards the front with great momentum.
Logan and Weatherspoon were about 38 yards and 37 yards away, and there was already about 15 yards from the tee line, and now Logan suddenly picked up speed, and he had already crossed the 35-yard line in two big strides, but he was about to cross the 30-yard line in the blink of an eye.
Weatherspoon noticed Logan's acceleration immediately. But in the flash of light, his reflex was not to chase Logan's footsteps, but to cast his gaze in Lu Ke's direction again, trying to complete the defense according to the quarterback's pass - although the race between man and ball is a sure loss, their feet have now opened up fifteen yards, which means that the defense still has a slight chance of winning, doesn't it?
In the next second, Weatherspoon saw the rainbow pass outlined high, and every cell in his body sounded an alarm, and he immediately turned around and chased back towards Logan.
But with a little hesitation, the distance between Logan and him had widened to five yards, beyond the range of his hands. Although speed is not Logan's strong point, it is also not Weatherspoon's strong point, strictly speaking, Weatherspoon is even at a disadvantage, just watching the distance between the two people grow wider and wider.
Can't catch up.
Weatherspoon is frustrated, and he can only hope that his team-mates will be able to complete the defense.
When Lu Ke passed the ball, the two security guards Moore and Dward also noticed the arc of the pass at the same time, and immediately realized that their judgment was wrong, and quickly returned to the defense as soon as possible; However, they are all far away, about nine to ten yards away from Logan, and they will have to go all out to speed up to catch up, and after that, they will need to complete the defense, and the situation is not optimistic.
……
Logan's footsteps rushed past thirty yards, and in the corner of his eye, he could see the two guards who were quickly returning to the defense, one left and one right, to complete the outflanking.
But the top priority now is Lu Ke.
Logan didn't continue to speed up, but maintained a steady speed output, turned his head, looking for Lu Ke's position, but saw that Lu Ke had completed the pass, and the rugby ball was rising rapidly, which meant that Lu Ke had already completed the pass before he had time to accelerate when he got rid of Weatherspoon.
Cooperate tacitly!
Logan used his vision to slightly predict the arc of the pass, and then his footsteps began to pick up, and he continued to accelerate all the way across the 25-yard line, and when the 20-yard line was already in front of him, he adjusted his body slightly, and turned slightly sideways 60 degrees behind him to complete the preparation for receiving the ball.
Then he crossed the twenty-yard line, and he could see the arc of the rugby ball falling rapidly, and he still had to keep moving some distance, but now that the two safety guards were in front of him, and they were about to close the door, the collision of the three men seemed to be imminent.
Logan took a deep breath, then held his breath and kicked hard with his right foot, releasing all his energy at the last ten meters of the 100-meter race, and then Thomas Deward, the safety guard on the right side, had already taken the lead and disrupted Logan's footsteps.
Logan clenched his teeth, controlled the center of gravity of his body, maintained a stable structure and posture in his upper body, raised his hands to his chest, and the rugby ball fell down with a "whoosh", and the milk/swallow/homing got into Logan's arms, but before his hands could be controlled, the other side of the security guard William Moore immediately collided.
As a strong guard, Moore's entire charge was fierce and powerful, slamming Logan to the right.
Logan had no room to resist at all, and flew over like a punching bag, the multiple forces of weight, momentum and inertia were all superimposed, and Logan was like a bigger version of his fist, hitting Deward with a straight punch.
Dward only had time to grab Logan, and before he could gain a foothold, he suffered a head-on blow, and the whole person flew out directly, and his hands couldn't even complete the grappling action, just like a kite with a broken string, fluttering in the wind without any pull and restraint.
The main force was all superimposed on Dward, drastically reducing the concussive force on Logan's body, his hands firmly grasped the rugby, fluttering and landing to the ground, and when there was no way to maintain balance with both hands, he could only rely on chaotic small steps to control his body, which was not an easy task.
To add insult to injury, Moore was still pestering Logan and never gave up.
Luckily, Moore, like Logan, lost his center of gravity and balance after the slam impact, trying to control his body in the middle of the whirlwind, relying more on his Ben/Ability to fight, trying to further disrupt Logan's footsteps, leaving Logan completely incapacitated.
……
"Logan Newman!"
"God, with two guards, William Moore and Thomas Deward, caught between the left and right, Newman made an incredibly powerful catch! He suppressed the collision of the two security guards with the strength of one person, and successfully caught Lu Ke's long pass of surprise attack! This time the catch once again showed Newman's top strength! ”
"Unexpected, absolutely unexpected!"
Lu Ke chose a super long pass without warning, and found Logan Newman, who instantly got rid of outside lineback Sean Weatherspoon's opposing mark, with a 33-yard pass, and fatally tore through the entire defensive blockade of the Atlanta Falcons, which was completely unexpected! The San Francisco 49ers offensive group, which had been silent for a whole quarter, finally recovered! ”
"Newman!"
"Newman is trying to control his body! Moore is still pounding! But Moore's own center of gravity and balance are no longer stable, and Newman is taking a big stride, Newman! Newman! Newman completes body control! Moore still hasn't given up, and Moore is still chasing back! But Newman is starting to pick up the pace! ”
"God! Newman hit a straight knee and he crossed the fifteen-yard line! Ten yard line! Moles! Moore's speed didn't have much advantage in front of Newman, the distance between the two people was not widened or shortened, and Moore barely touched Newman's back! Moore strikes! But that didn't break Newman's center of gravity! ”
"Newman! Newman has crossed the five-yard line! Newman! Logan Newman rushed into the end zone and completed the touchdown! God, Touchdown, it's a touchdown! ”
