"The pass is not complete!"

"Logan Newman didn't manage his left foot and he was out of bounds before he had full control of the football. What a bad pass! But that's an unfinished pass! ”

Logan tried his best to control his feet on the sideline, but his attention was all on the receiving action, and he had no time to take care of the details of the footwork, and could only adjust through his own ability, but the defender was still in place in time, knocking Logan out hard, further disrupting his foot control, and his toes barely dragged the ground lawn, and the next second the whole person flew out.

Staggering to control his foot—this side was where the Baltimore Ravens players were, and they just ethically avoided the position but didn't "save" Logan, who took a few quick steps forward and put the brakes on the way just as his body was about to hit the sideline.

But Logan didn't have time to care about his own situation, turned around and looked at the referee, but only got a gesture of an incomplete pass, and shook his head depressedly, which was the expected result. So, without saying anything, he quickly stood up, ran back into the ranks, and lined up again.

6 Ke also shook his head slightly, the passing force and arc were a little too much, this was his pot. After the opening, I was still too excited, and the detail control was not in the most perfect state. Before Logan finished receiving the ball, the pass was already suspected to be out of bounds, which made Logan's foot control more difficult, and the result of the pass being incomplete was normal.

As soon as he retracted his attention, 6 Ke beckoned the offensive group to complete the formation again.

Fifteen yards in second gear.

6 Ke handed the rugby to Marcus, this time on the ground, but the attention of the Baltimore Ravens defense was highly focused, and the lineback's step up was very timely - Ray Lewis appeared in the camera for the first time in this game, and he pressed Marcus to the ground!

After finishing the grappling, Lewis made a Tarzan gesture, "Roar! Roar! Roar! "Asserting his presence strongly, he is more than just a spectator on the stage of the final showdown, and the war of the bowl is now underway.

Fifteen yards in three gears.

Quick kick-off, quick shot, fast pass, 6 Ke neatly found Crabtree in the short pass area and completed a five-yard short pass.

After receiving the ball, Crabtree stumbled slightly and stumbled forward, but was eventually caught in place by two players and eventually fell above the 25-yard line of the San Francisco 49ers.

In other words, despite Crabtree's smooth 10-yard drive, they were penalized by five yards due to their previous illegal formation, and they still couldn't complete the transition.

In less than two minutes, the San Francisco 49ers' first wave of offense ended with a strikeout.

Obviously, this is not the scenario that 6 and the fans are looking forward to: for two consecutive seasons, the San Francisco 49ers have been the most efficient team in the league to start the first wave of offensive scoring, although that doesn't mean anything, because it was the fourth quarter, not the opening, that decided the outcome of the game; But it is undeniable that this plays an important role in improving the morale of the team.

In the second half of the season, after a long winning streak, the San Francisco 49ers' opening scoring efficiency dropped slightly, but on the stage of the class bowl, fans still want to see a good start. And now, a little bit of surprise, a little bit of excitement, a little bit of misalignment, and then the attacking group is out of the game with three strikes, and not even a single attack is completed.

This...... It's a bit disappointing.

The opening of the class bowl seems to have ended before it has had time to breathe and adjust. The difference in this final battle is gradually emerging.

Everyone thinks that the level bowl is unique, but 6 Ke keeps convincing himself that the level bowl is just a game, and he needs to take it with a normal heart. Now it seems that "everybody" is right.

Overall, in addition to the Yellow Flag foul caused by a low-level mistake by the San Francisco 49ers' offensive team, the Baltimore Ravens defense team also showed the first reason why they can stand on the upper stage, they put a lot of pressure on the defensive front line and in the short passing area, and they have more advantages in the offensive and defensive encounters, continuing the style of the past few seasons.

It's not just the sudden explosion of this season's playoffs, in fact, over the years, the Baltimore Ravens defense team has been able to occupy an important place in the highly competitive league, on the one hand, it is competing with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the bitter rival in the same region, and on the other hand, it has repeatedly become a spoiler outside the three traditional powerhouses of the American League.

It can be simply thought of as an urn mouth defense group.

If the defensive group is divided into four lines, defensive front, line back, corner back and safety guard, then the second and fourth lines of the Baltimore Ravens are undoubtedly at the top of the league, like a deep urn, with a huge opening, a tightly locked bottle mouth, an empty bottle belly, and a thick bottle bottom, firmly intercepting the offensive in the two links of the bottle mouth and the bottom of the bottle.

On the defensive front, the Baltimore Ravens adopt a "3-4" formation, a combination of three defensive forwards and four linebacks, but they have the same thing as the Seattle Seahawks' defensive front, and the functions and tasks of defensive forwards and linebacks are often confused, and the "3-4" and "4-3" formations are constantly switching, constantly disrupting the judgment of the quarterbacks.

However, the focus of the two defensive groups is different.

The Seahawks' strength lies in their ground defense, which acts like a wall to intercept all ground impacts, cutting off one of the quarterbacks' offensive means and forcing the quarterbacks to challenge their own blasters; The Ravens' strengths lie in their rush passes, sacks and pressure that are among the best in the league, and they disrupt the opponent's offensive layout by putting pressure on the quarterbacks.

Above the defensive front, A'Ake-Keeatu and defensive forwards Harlodi Ngata and Arthur-Jones.

This is a very mature and experienced forward team, Kmaoytewu was an undrafted rookie in 2oo2, started his career with the Ravens, went around in a big circle, and returned to the Ravens this offseason; Ngarta is a 2oo6 overall pick and is in his seventh season with the Ravens; The youngest, Arthur, was a fifth-round rookie in 2o1o and is now on the rise.

Among them, Ngata is the star of the defensive front, and has been nominated for the Pro Bowl for four consecutive years, playing on the blind side of the quarterback, 63 feet (193 cm), 345 pounds (156 kg), and his anti-running ability is top-notch; At the same time, when implementing the rushing quarterback tactics, although the pace is not flexible, it is often able to form a positional advantage through his huge body, crush the opponent's offensive left volley, and make a breakthrough.

Compared with the peak season of 2o1O, Ngarta's footsteps and card positions have obviously declined, and now he still relies more on his body to complete the defense, losing the initiative and mobility of rushing passes, and the rating of this season can be seen to decline significantly, but his strong body still has a strong interception ability, and he is still the core of the defensive front.

On top of the lineback, four-time Pro Bowl player Terrell Suggs and rookie Urtney-Upsha are paired on the outside, while three-time Pro Bowl veteran Brenden-Ayanbadej is partnered with Ray Lewis on the inside.

Undoubtedly, this is the heart and soul of the team's defensive group!

The Baltimore Ravens have stumbled all the way in the regular season this season, and the root cause is that the form of the linebacks has declined rapidly, and the impact of injuries and form is clearly visible, three of the four linebacks are well-known names in the league, and even the youngest Turrell Suggs is already a veteran who entered the league in 2oo3.

At the peak of their form, the Ravens' linebackers are undoubtedly a feared defensive line in the league: they can change their positions at any time, or play a rushing pass from the top position, or drop back to help defend a short pass, and they can burst into a strong energy in both defenses.

When he rushes forward, he has a strong ability to break the formation on both the outside and the inside, and can always tear open the pocket protection of the opponent's offensive forward line and put pressure on the quarterback; When it comes to helping defend short passes, all four players have the ability to play positional battles with the near end, and are always able to reduce the loss of short passes in the first place.

For the second year in a row, the American League finals have embarrassed the "king of short passes" Tom Brady, relying on the lineback's ability to cover short passes, and then forcing the quarterbacks to risk long passes - and the Ravens' safety guards happen to be the best in the league; At the same time, in last year's regular season victory over the 49ers, the lineback's ability to rush and pass pressure has also repeatedly made contributions, and he has made 6 Ke nine times in the fight, which makes 6 Ke feel lonely, showing that they are based on the foundation of the league.

It is no exaggeration to say that the state and swing of the lineback group largely determine the operation of the entire defensive group.

In contrast, the Baltimore Ravens put more pressure on the frontline defense, shortened the quarterback's shooting time, and even kept them under pressure all the time; At the same time, the lineback is always able to make accurate predictions in advance, reducing the efficiency of the near end or wide receiver as much as possible, so that the defensive front line is always in a state of storm.

In the first wave of offense and defense above the level, except for the 49ers' own illegal formation, the next three offensive and defensive gears all operated with linebacks as the core: the short pass area forced Logan out of bounds, the running ball intercepted and stopped Marcus, and Crabtree stepped up immediately after receiving the ball to complete the tackle.

The three defenses were all dispatched with the lineback as the hub, and after the intensity and degree exploded, the pressure was exerted little by little, forcing the offensive group to be more refined and accurate, and the slightest deviation was directly strikeout. On the front, you can feel the strong dominance from the lineback.
