Chapter 1003 The Bear Dances
The Kansas Chiefs' season has begun.
The Jacksonville Jaguars guessed the coin, but they chose to attack later in order to gain advantage in the second half and to trust their defensive team more.
However, the start was slightly unexpected.
Third gear of attack, three false runs and real passes——
The Kansas Chiefs did not have the chaos and sloppiness of the preseason. The entire offense was clear and crisp. Mahomes found Watkins, Hill and rookie wide receiver Hardman to complete three passes.
Attack points are all over the place.
Three first attacks, easy to get.
Among them, Watkins and Kelsey hit the wall and passed the cornerback Ramsey and completed the tactic of catching the ball, which made the live broadcast room burst into exclamations and applause.
Not only strong, but also smooth.
The entire offense of the Kansas Chiefs was very powerful, and the Jacksonville Jaguars suddenly felt the pressure.
Ma Ruo's palms began to sweat.
Mahomes is calmer and more mature this season, which also means it is more difficult. If he cannot effectively contain it, he will soon fall into passivity.
Perhaps, the only good thing is that Ma Ruo is not unprepared.
Everyone in the league knows that Reid is a master of tactics, and his pre-game arrangements are comprehensive and meticulous, so the fluency and aggressiveness in the opening phase are predictable; Reid's relative shortcoming is still in adapting to the situation, so he needs an offensive coordinator and Players’ help improves response speed.
At the beginning of the game, Ma Ruo has already begun to mobilize his troops——
Before the game, he said he was confident of defeating the Kansas City Chiefs, which was no joke.
For the new season, Ma Ruo also has his own blueprint. He needs to prove himself that the glory of the 2017 season is definitely not "newbie luck", but his real material.
Raising the tactical board, Ma Ruo started a quick layout through the headset.
On the other side of the forward confrontation, Levi was also observing the layout of the defensive team.
This is a habit that started at the University of Alabama and was further upgraded this offseason due to the Sanders training template.
If a running back only knows how to use his body to hit hard, he will end up being expendable; like other players in football, running backs must learn to combine body and brain, tactics and actions to open up a new world.
So, what are the Jacksonville Jaguars preparing for?
Pass rush pressure?
Don't forget, in the 2017 season, the Jacksonville Jaguars used their blue-collar defensive front to become the league's top goalkeeper.
However, Levi had reservations.
On the surface, the players are still standing where they are, with their center of gravity tilted slightly forward, and they seem to be concealing their tactical intentions of rushing the ball and applying pressure.
Upon closer inspection, the defensive front players’ eyes were not focused.
What's the meaning?
If the defense is going to press the pass rusher, their target should be the quarterback or running back, so they need to watch Mahomes closely.
However, at this time, the defensive frontline's eyes fell on different player positions. The details of these eyes are exactly the difference between blue-collar players and outstanding players.
Levi believes that things are not that simple.
The description is extremely long, but in the actual game it is only a short moment.
Before Levi had time to think deeply, Mahomes had already begun to lay out tactics.
Gather your thoughts and act accordingly.
Then, form an array.
Cornerback Ramsey stood ten yards away from Levi's 30-degree slash, facing Kelsey directly in front.
Obviously, the Kansas Chiefs also know that Ramsey is more than just a mouth. Excellent performance on the field is the solid backing of this king of words, so they specifically use the tactics of misplacement of the tight end to limit Ramsey. Ramsey was naturally not afraid, and was slightly excited.
However, the corner of his vision could not help but drift in the direction of Levi:
This time, will the Kansas City Chiefs dare to continue to fake and make real passes? Levi continues to play Barbie?
Other coaches probably wouldn't. Using the same tactics four times in a row is simply asking for death; but Reid can't make common sense judgments.
Moreover, the Kansas Chiefs' three fake runs and real passes so far have completely different routes and strategies. Three passes to three targets, which immediately opened up the battle. Even if the fourth fake run and real pass were made, the Jacksonville Jaguars still could not accurately predict this. This is the most difficult part for Ma Ruo.
So... I can't say for sure.
Ramsey glanced at Levi, quickly glanced at Mahomes, and finally focused on Kelsey to keep himself focused.
Kelsey requires Ramsey to devote 100% of his energy. No matter what the Kansas Chiefs' offensive tactics are, as long as he can completely cut off Kelsey, his cornerback duties will be perfect——
He, Ramsey, will make Mahomes afraid to pass the ball in the direction of his defense.
"Attack!"
Mahomes announced the kickoff. In an instant, players from the Kansas City Chiefs and Jacksonville Jaguars both started, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
This time, the full effort of the Jacksonville Jaguars defense was clearly felt.
They can no longer let their opponents get whatever they want, they must rise!
Defensive end Carles Campbell started instantly like a black bear. This veteran who has been nominated for the Pro Bowl for three consecutive seasons is undoubtedly the core of the current Jacksonville Jaguars' defensive team and has outstanding abilities.
Campbell's attention is entirely focused on the opposing quarterback and running back pairing——
Or is it still a fake run and a real pass?
Campbell's pupils narrowed slightly and he immediately caught Mahomes' movement.
Got it!
A fake run and a real pass. The Kansas Chiefs were so bold and crazy that they faked a real pass for the fourth time in a row. They continued to stick to their strategy in the game of guessing and digging holes.
Campbell held his breath, kicked off the ground, stepped up, and pushed, all in one movement.
Without hesitation and decisiveness, he pounced on Mahomes.
The Jacksonville Jaguars really used their trump card:
Pass rush pressure.
With the cooperation of his teammates, Campbell pushed the offensive line in front of him with all his strength, and rushed towards Mahomes with the attitude of a tiger going downhill.
Footsteps, forward.
At this moment, Mahomes, who was holding the ball in his right hand and pretending to hand it over, stopped turning, reached forward with his right hand again, and stuffed the football into Levi's arms.
Then, pull away.
Continue to turn around, wave his arms, and continue the fake pass to the end. He even adjusts his steps to appear as if he is observing the passing target and dodging Campbell. The fake performance is very confusing.
Campbell:? ? ? Are you sure Mahomes won't be considered for the Oscars next year?
If Campbell hadn't been close at hand and watched the movements of Mahomes and Levi with his own eyes, and the changes between lightning and flint, he would never have been able to judge.
Shock came over me.
There was no time to hesitate. Campbell paused and his bulky body spun like a top. With his right leg as the axis, he turned towards Levi.
Campbell wasn't sure if he was dazzled, but he saw the corners of Levi's mouth raised in the helmet, showing a smile. It seemed that he had already seen through his reaction, and was waiting there one step ahead. He moved sideways to the right with light steps, effortlessly The ground is staggered.
Campbell's center of gravity was unstable and he flapped his hands like a bear dancing.
Levi: Look, Dancing Barbie!
