Chapter 1009 Early Tactics
As soon as he appeared on the stage, Hardman noticed:
The air is slightly different.
Hardman couldn't tell what exactly happened——
This was the first official game of his career. Only after experiencing it did he realize that he still had a lot to learn and grow slowly.
This scene fell into Kelsey's eyes and she couldn't help but laugh.
Kelsey patted Hardman on the back and said, "Don't worry, it's just a paper tiger."
Hardman's eyes widened and he looked confused: Tiger? What tiger?
Kelsey's smile widened.
Change of atmosphere, coming from the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The strength of the Jacksonville Jaguars has always been defense. League professionals generally believe that if the team can solve its offensive problems, its strength will undergo a radical change. This is why the team traded quarterback Bolt this offseason. The reason why Si was ready to give it a go.
Just now, Foles's wonderful performance gave the team a shot in the arm. This kind of offense is the first time for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Jacksonville Jaguars defense, which had been dejected by the overwhelming performance of the Kansas Chiefs offense, suddenly became energetic——
Fighting spirit burns.
Don't forget, in the American League finals two years ago, the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Kansas City Chiefs were inseparable. They were not afraid at all.
This situation is all too familiar to the Kansas City Chiefs, and Kelsey is not worried at all.
Sure enough, after Mahomes finished laying out his tactics, Levi turned around and walked over, looked at Kelsey and Hardman, exchanged a few words briefly, and then went back again.
"I believe you." Before leaving, Levi looked at Hardman and said lightly but loudly.
Hardman was so excited and excited that he could no longer control it.
Kelsey shook his head slightly: That rookie guy is fooling young people again.
The Kansas Chiefs lined up.
At this time, you can clearly feel that the air is getting tighter and tighter.
It's not the formation or position, the Jacksonville Jaguars' position has not changed in particular; it's the eyes and expressions. At this time, you can clearly feel their concentration and fighting spirit. The entire competitive state is completely different, just like a tiger descending a mountain. Be stimulated to the strongest state.
This is the most dangerous.
However, after two seasons of running-in, the Kansas Chiefs' offensive team is now entering a mature stage, including the offensive line -
This scene before me? Just sprinkle water.
Relaxed but focused; comfortable but engaged. All eyes are on waiting for Mahomes' kickoff call.
On the verge of breaking out!
But at the critical moment, Mahomes stood up straight and changed his tactical command.
"Start early!"
"Jacksonville Jaguars, No. 93..."
The tense atmosphere collapsed in an instant.
Jacksonville Jaguars No. 93, Campbell couldn't control it, turned around and cursed a series of swear words, the emotions in his chest boiling.
The atmosphere is really too tight. A little spark may ignite. The muscles are tense to the extreme and may be out of control at any time.
Campbell was like an arrow, ready to attack at any time, but was blocked by Mahomes and moved ahead——
It's the same as a false start in a running game.
Yellow flag foul, five yard penalty.
Campbell was naturally dissatisfied when he lost five yards just after he came on the field.
But what was worse was that Campbell noticed that all the Kansas Chiefs offensive players were not moving and were in a stable state. At a glance, it was clear that this was a deception and early action tactic premeditated by Mahomes. Judging from Campbell's rich game experience, it was not You should be fooled easily. This time, not only was the five yards lost, but the morale of the Jacksonville Jaguars also took a hit.
This season, Mahomes has obviously matured and can even use deception and early action tactics with ease.
This is what really angers Campbell.
But now there is no time to be upset and depressed. He vented all his negative emotions through swear words. Campbell immediately returned to his position and lined up to prepare for the game.
For an experienced top quarterback like Manning, after deceiving an early move, quick kickoffs and quick short passing tactics often follow, disrupting the balance through rhythm control and leading the defense by the nose.
Campbell wouldn’t give Mahomes that chance.
Mahomes seemed to be aware of this. He did not rush to kick off the ball quickly, but waited for the formation step by step and re-arranged the tactics.
The formation has indeed changed, from a pistol formation to a shotgun formation. Levi's position shifts from the horizontal parallel point on the right side of Mahomes to behind Kelsey and Hardman's positions, and finally with the two The wide receiver forms an inverted triangle position.
Then, wait patiently.
That gesture and attitude were clearly going in the opposite direction, as if he were preparing to deceive him into making a second move.
The entire atmosphere instantly became tense again, and the Jacksonville Jaguars defensive team fell into a state of full tension but did not dare to act rashly.
On the verge of suffocation.
Mahomes glanced at the timer at the end of the field -
Since there is an early-action foul, there is also a delay-the-game foul. He does not want to re-vomit the five yards he just gained because of his own delay-the-game foul.
Seeing that the timer was about to clear, Mahomes finally called the kickoff.
"Attack!"
For the first time, there was a storm.
The Jacksonville Jaguars defense once again showed its deep knowledge of pass rush and pressure, using six pass rushers to cover, which was actually five plus one.
Five people rush the pass, and the sixth man defends Levi.
If Levi plays the sixth offensive lineman, then the Jacksonville Jaguars will have six pass rushers; if Levi runs the ball himself or serves as a receiver, then the sixth man will mark Levi.
There was no way, Levi was too intimidating on his own, and the defensive team had to pay special attention.
This time, the sixth man is still Goode.
However, Ma Ruo judged that the shotgun formation should be a smoke bomb, and Levi should probably take a feint shot, and then retreat to consolidate the pocket and protect Mahomes.
Therefore, Goode's first reaction was to step forward and remain alert. Here, the early reaction of half a beat was mainly in the hope of gaining some advantage for Goode.
However.
Ma Ruo ignored one detail: Levi moved; Goode moved with him, and inadvertently, this had exposed the Jacksonville Jaguars' defensive strategy.
Mainly because of the "deception and early action" just now, the Kansas City Chiefs disrupted the Jacksonville Jaguars' judgment and layout in an unexpected way, so that if Ma did not notice the changes hidden behind the interlocking offensive strategies of the Kansas City Chiefs, Mahomes then called the kickoff.
At this point, when the Jacksonville Jaguars realized what was "weird", it was too late.
Defensive end Campbell stepped forward immediately, trying to knock away the offensive line, but found that the Kansas Chiefs' entire offensive line shrank inward, forming a dense interception, and actually intercepted the Jacksonville Jaguars' first wave of pass rush pressure.
Then when Campbell cut into the pocket, he found a protector appearing next to Mahomes——
Not Levi.
Campbell:? ? ? Kelsey? Wait, why is Kelsey here?
If Kelsey is here, that means...
