1289 Rely on teammates

The Houston Texans offense is back on the field.

Because the first pass just laid down was intercepted, there is naturally no reference data for the Texans' offensive tactics today, and there is no way to make a judgment, and it is impossible to know whether the current offensive tactics are originally planned or changed; But the reality is that after re-entering the game, Seb chose to run twice in a row, handing the rugby to running back Adrian Foster to complete the game, and successfully harvested a first attack.

This season, Adrian Foster's overall performance has declined, on the one hand, because of the diving ability in the red zone, so far in four games, there has been no single 100-yard or rushing touchdown; On the other hand, it is because the offensive front line has not been able to support the opening and dismantling of the screen.

But objectively speaking, Adrian Foster was still one of the most consistent aspects of the Houston Texans' offensive team before entering the red zone. Even when there were no gaps in the push, he was always able to get the job done, and the first two runs of the day managed to get the first first attack of the game for the team.

Unfortunately, Foster was also unable to help the Texans offensive team turn things around completely.

The morale-boosting 49ers defensive team showed a tough stance from last season, sweeping away the gloom of the past four games, only releasing a first attack, and then neatly completing the strikeout defense with a sack quarterback, driving the Texans offensive group down again and handing the stage to the 49ers offensive team.

The Houston Texans had five runs and two passes, which took less than three minutes in total, and had already advanced to their 35-yard position, but fell back to their 27-yard position after the last offensive quarterback was sacked.

The situation is still not improving.

Not only that, but the Texan's punt position was also very bad, and in the face of the ferocious onslaught and all-out pressure from the San Francisco 49ers' special service team, sophomore kicker Randy-Bullock made a clear mistake in the pun, and the football was not far away, falling near the 35-yard line in the opposite half.

Rookie wide receiver Quinton Parton was the 49ers' return position, and after he caught the football smoothly, he keenly captured the space to advance, dodged through the crowd, and launched a detour to return all the way from the 35-yard line to the 47-yard line, before being surrounded by three players and brought down.

On one side is the full rise!

On one side is a total panic!

Even the layman could feel the change of momentum on the court, and the Houston Texans seemed to have completely messed up, full of ambition and before they even had time to lift their spirits, they were hit in the face, and they were hit one blow after another, and there was no way to stand firm, and in the midst of the ever-changing game, they had fallen into a predicament in the blink of an eye.

But that's competitive sports, where there's not a lot of breathing time or room to think when the game moves forward quickly, either to break the game with stability or to get out of the way – and, of course, to give up on the game, and for the past two seasons, the Houston Texans have always been able to find a solution to their dilemmas, so what now?

On that side of the court, the Houston Texans were in a state of anxiety as the defense team had to block the opponent's offense, and the offensive team had to think of a solution as soon as possible; And this time on the court, the San Francisco 49ers once again ushered in Lu Ke's debut, and now it is the turn of the offensive group to take the initiative.

Subconsciously, Lu Ke stepped on the grass with his left leg again, in fact, there was no pain in his knee, there was no obstacle in walking, running, kicking the ground and other actions, even if it was the tackle in the opening Watt, there was no problem with the left knee; But sometimes, injuries leave traces not only on the physical side, but also on the unseen psychological level.

Lu Ke knew that he needed time and a game now, and with the confrontation, he concentrated little by little and regained his game state; Otherwise, with the passing state just now, whether it is the Houston Texans in front of them or any opponent in the regular season after that, they will be in a much worse predicament.

So, he now needs to trust his teammates more.

Without thinking too much, Lu Ke quickly concentrated his attention, communicated with Hubble through the headset, and then summoned the partners in the offensive group and began to arrange tactics.

"It's worth looking forward to, and the second round of Lu Ke's clash with JJ Watt is about to begin. Obviously, after the first wave of offensive confrontation in the opening game, the tactics of both sides are bound to be slightly adjusted, and the attention will also be improved, and the San Francisco 49ers still want to rely on simple offense to complete the advance and even touch down again, which is definitely not that simple. ”

"The biggest attraction now is who can have the upper hand with Lu Ke's defensive reading and Watt's fighter capture. Due to Lu Ke's initial recovery from injury, the offensive method and layout are bound to be adjusted, which may become an opportunity for Watt; But...... No one can easily underestimate Lu Ke, who knows? Maybe the two players will be able to surprise again. ”

Standing in the pocket of the offensive front, Lu Ke could faintly capture the tense atmosphere, as if a slight spark could cause an explosion.

The Texans defense is well aware of the current crisis, and if they still can't stop the 49ers' offensive team, then the game may really be going to be played; In order to fight for a glimmer of hope of a comeback, and to retain some suspense in the game, they will have to brace themselves and complete their mission.

The entire defensive group was highly focused, and instantly burst out with a strong momentum that was evenly matched; And Watt's eyes were sharply focused on Lu Ke, the eyes hidden behind the helmet seemed to be igniting a flame, and the intense battle/desire/desire crossed the Chu River Han realm where the two sides were facing each other, and firmly locked on Lu Ke.

For Watt, Lu Ke is the only goal.

But for Lu Ke, Watt is only a part of the entire defensive group.

Lu Ke's gaze quickly swept over Watt, projecting towards the position and layout of the entire defensive group, and after a series of misjudgments in the opening stage, the Houston Texans defensive team made small adjustments, and the positions of the line guards, corner guards and security guards were more layered, like a gate, pushing the layout of the entire defense layer by layer.

It's a relatively conservative and relatively average defensive tactic that is very popular throughout the league.

To put it simply, the purpose of the defensive group is not to kill with a stick, but to see the moves; Short passes, middle passes, or running balls are allowed, but all defenders are on watch for each other, and after identifying the ball carrier in the attacking group, they are defending layer by layer, even if they lose yards, but they are controlled within an acceptable range; Then wait for the opportunity to suddenly exert force, break the balance with rushing pass and raid tactics, and then disrupt the rhythm of the attacking group.

The 32 teams in the league are very familiar with this kind of defensive tactics, and there is not much to interpret in the defensive formation, but after it is launched, more possibilities are derived according to the team's own characteristics. It's basic, but it's practical.

The Houston Texans' intentions couldn't be clearer, they need to stabilize their rhythm and slowly build up the pressure while avoiding turnovers; Now it's up to defensive coach Wade Phelps' tactical layout ability. This is a conspiracy.

After reading defensively, Lu Ke was clear at a glance.

Despite this, on top of the basic formation, Lu Ke was still able to decipher more things: the positions of the four linebacks obviously opened up a little distance, and at the same time slightly pressed back half a step or a step.

What does this mean?

None of the four linebacks of the Houston Texans are among the best in the league, and the only one who is relatively good is Brian Cassin, a fifth-grader from the University of Southern California who qualified for the Pro Bowl in his rookie season in 2009 but has been adjusting since his season was reimbursed due to injury last year.

Obviously, the San Francisco 49ers' passing offense is far stronger than the ground advancement, and today's first wave of offense proved that; The positioning change of the four linebacks means that they still retain their defensive focus on the ground, but the main focus change is still further back to provide more support for the second line defence.

So, is this a trap?

Lu Ke's pupils contracted slightly, he did not change the tactical slogan, according to Hubble's tactical arrangement, he slowly bent over, and then announced the kickoff.

Standing in the pistol formation, Jonathan Goodwin threw the rugby ball to Lu Ke, Lu Ke held the ball in both hands, spread his legs, and stood in place without extra movements, and then you could see Marcus Lynch pulling horizontally from right to left, and the footsteps had just passed Lu Ke's position, Lu Ke threw the rugby ball horizontally to Marcus, and after Marcus caught the football steadily, he quickly pulled it in the direction of the left periphery.

Ground Run Ball Attack!

Lu Ke and Marcus tossed and received the ball very quickly, and the rugby transfer was completed in an instant after the kickoff, which also made the defensive forward line have no time to adjust, and directly collided with the offensive front.

Watt caught Marcus' lateral pull right away, and just as Marcus was rushing towards his defensive position, he slammed his shoulder past Stanley, and with a quick switch of footsteps, he bypassed Stanley's position and cut into the pocket.

Both Stanley and Watt are strong men, but in terms of physical flexibility and confrontation intensity, Watt is stronger than Stanley, and he has regained the advantage in an instant.

Watt raised his hands high and rushed towards Marcus with a fierce flutter, but before he could take a step, he saw a red figure moving sideways from the left to the right, and Watt didn't have time to think, so he directly hit Marcus and completed the grappling with accuracy.

In the next second, Watt gritted his teeth heavily and cursed:

There is no rugby in Marcus's arms!
