To the uninitiated, there seems to be no difference between a kicker and a throw-away, with both positions kicking the rugby ball high and looking like the same set of moves; But in fact, the technical movements and tactical literacy of these two positions are very different.

For punkers, after the team's third-gear offense fails, they need to arrange their punt according to their tactics, and the most important thing is to be high enough and far enough.

But that's not all. In addition, they need to control the drop point, control the position of the opponent's return attacker, and the space on the court in front of them may be the drop point; You also need to leave enough time and space for your teammates to complete the grappling of the return attacker, so as to prevent the opponent from getting a better starting position through the return attack, and also to avoid the opponent from completing the return touchdown to the greatest extent.

For kickers, the goal is their only goal, whether it's a free kick or an extra point, aiming at the goal is the ultimate goal, and through the control of power and arc, the rugby ball is kicked into the goal accurately, as for the height, distance and landing point are not their task.

It can be simply understood that while the Secret Service is a whole, all the attention of the kickers is above the goal; The punker, on the other hand, must cooperate with his teammates to complete tactical coordination, and with the help of his teammates, control the landing point and control the opponent's return attack.

For example, the league's top punter can accurately place the rugby ball within the opponent's red zone through his landing control and air control, which means that the opponent's next attack must start within the 10-yard line.

If you add the precision of the special service team, you will control the rugby ball on the one yard line in front of the end area, which is the perfect punt kick, because the opponent must start attacking on his own one-yard line, and the quarterback's space is compressed to the extreme, and if you are not careful, you may be able to create safety points.

Of course, on the other hand, the kicker can accurately kick the rugby ball into the goal, win a free kick and kill the game in the final stages of the game, 55 yards or more, and such a highlight moment and dominance are beyond the reach of a kicker.

In rugby, there is always a lot of attention to the attacking and defensive groups, but one should not forget that the reason rugby is divided into three groups is because each group is crucial and has the ability to shape the direction of the game.

In fact, just a kick-off can lead to infinite possibilities and dangers. Therefore, the team responsible for the kick-off, in order to avoid trouble, in order to avoid potential danger, often choose to play a miracle - directly kick the rugby ball out of the bottom line with all its might, so that the opponent automatically starts to attack above the 20-yard line.

However, it is not an easy task to maintain a high level of concentration throughout the game, and when the special service team comes on the field, the mood of the spectators is often a little relaxed. At this moment, inside and outside Ford Field, everyone's attention is not on the field.

The commentators are closely analysing the next game and Lu Ke's performance is bound to be highly anticipated, and the rookie quarterback is clearly not lagging behind in the face of Michael Vick's full recovery today, and they are giving their opinions and predicting the different possibilities of the game.

The home fans are reassuring and breathing a sigh of relief, and after a sustained high-intensity cheer, they will now need to tighten up and continue to make noise attacks, hoping to provide a boost to help their home side to a victory.

Even the offensive and defensive teams of the two teams are in full swing to prepare, constantly communicating with coaches and teammates to further confirm the next tactical arrangement. In the midst of the ever-changing competition, the tense atmosphere is almost suffocating.

It seems like a normal kick-off, with a game going back and forth a dozen or twenty times, with no particularly noteworthy parts.

Even the special service players are no exception, and the tactical tricks of the kick-off are much less than the punt kick and free kick - if the opponent simply and rudely drives straight to the baseline, then they don't even need to warm up, the kick-off is already done.

So, rarely, Ford Field was a little quieter, the restless heat wave was still slowly surging, and the noisy sound was still slowly surging, but it did not break out after all, but entered a short break, which seemed to be a rare quiet moment for the two special service teams on the field, and the ears could finally relax a little.

Marcus Lynch stood in the end zone, jumping lightly like a bunny, relaxing his limbs and muscles, but his mind was already thinking about the next offense; Although facing a serious challenge, the Philadelphia Eagles are obviously not an easy opponent to deal with, but at this time he did not flinch or hesitate at all, but was full of energy and couldn't wait to start a strong match.

This tenacity and fighting spirit is undoubtedly a new look for the San Francisco 49ers. Sometimes, Marcus can't help but imagine that the 49ers need fresh blood, and Lu Ke is undoubtedly the best choice, and quarterback competition should not exist at all.

Not only because of the personal friendship between Marcus and Lu Ke, to a certain extent, Marcus quickly stood out in the running back competition and gradually gained a firm foothold in the starting lineup; Also because under the leadership of Lu Ke, the team really showed an indomitable and tenacious temperament, as long as they stood on the court, as long as the game was not over, they had hope.

He likes the team atmosphere, which is something Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick don't have.

In Marcus's view, Lu Ke is the future of the San Francisco 49ers.

The chaotic thoughts only flashed through his mind, and then, Marcus took a deep breath and took another deep breath, forcing himself to concentrate and put other things aside for the time being, and the first task was to complete the return of the tee.

The Philadelphia Eagles' kicker is a rookie, Alex Henery, who was drafted with the 120th pick in the fourth round of this year's draft and joined the Hawks.

Alex Henry, a graduate of the University of Nebraska, excelled and was named to the All-American First Team in 2009 and 2010. Not only did he set the NCAA all-time record for free-kick shooting percentage of 89.5 percent, but he also set the record for the farthest free-throw in college team history at 57 yards; He is also the highest-scoring kicker in University of Nebraska history, breaking the league's rookie camp history with a 96.7 percent free-kick success rate during training camp this March.

With an incredibly brilliant record, Alex entered the league with a super-high pick in the fourth round and quickly established himself as a starter. Since the regular season, Alex has been playing steadily, and can be called one of the most consistent links in the Hawks' special service team.

Marcus constantly switches toe jumps, adjusts his running rhythm, and looks all over the court, observing the position of the opposing players, observing the position of his own players, like a radar searching for potential running routes; At the same time, observe Alex Henry's running steps and simply predict the power and position of the opponent's tee.

At that moment, the referee blew the kick-off whistle, and Henry quickly started, run, lifted his legs, kicked the ball, and the whole technical action was done in one go, and the rugby ball arced high, slid across the sky, and then fell quickly towards the bottom line of the end zone.

Marcus, who was highly concentrated, kept his eyes firmly on the rugby, and after making a judgment on the entire parabola, he began to adjust his pace in small steps, and used the peripheral vision of his eyes to quickly measure back and forth, and made a preliminary prediction of the final landing position of the rugby ball-

This time, Henry's strength seems to be slightly weaker, and the height and distance of the parabola are slightly insufficient, which means that the rugby ball will not fly directly out of the bottom line, it should fall within the end area, so Marcus can launch a counterattack. However, it is not yet known how difficult it will be to return to attack.

Marcus didn't think about it, and constantly found the exact location of the rugby through small step adjustments, just took a big step back, and then firmly took the rugby in his arms. As expected, there was a slight lack of power, and Marcus didn't have any difficulty catching the ball, and his footwork didn't need to be adjusted.

The ball of his foot slammed on the ground, and the whole person rushed out like a spring, but immediately after, Marcus took control of his body, and his eyes quickly scanned the entire court, taking control of the overall situation.

The Eagles players were completely scattered, swarming like a tide, forming a chain-like defense as a whole, without forming a dense encirclement of areas; At the same time, the 49ers' players also scattered according to the coverage area, and then quietly began to shrink into the middle, and kept an eye on and monitored the opponent.

Sharpening the knife and cutting wood, Marcus slowed down his pace, slowed down the pace, but mastered the arrangement of the whole field, just a second or so, made a judgment in his mind, the whole stadium is like a battlefield, thousands of troops and horses galloped in, and in the layers of turbulent waves, Marcus glimpsed a road to heaven.

Then, Marcus took a step, starting, exerting force, speeding up, and sprinting.

At this moment, the 49ers special service team sent four players, lined up in front of Marcus, in pairs of twos, and then like a door that opened outward, after opening, slapped the oncoming Hawks players to the outside, and the dense defensive area in the middle opened a wide road, and Marcus sprinted forward with light and fast steps.

The eye caught a grappling figure, Marcus dodged in time, leaving a small whirlwind behind him, and then raised his knees high, avoiding the opponent's follow-up action of locking his ankle with a high leg stance; The next moment, he could see an Eagles player on the left and one on the right getting out of the confrontation and rushing up.

Engrossed and undistracted, Marcus entered a state of total forgetfulness!
