Chapter 1314: Flashing
Kyle Shanahan of 49ers in San Francisco, Matt Luffler of Green Bay Packer, and Sean McVay of Los Angeles Rams.
In the past two years, a trend of young coaches has emerged in the league, and more and more young people have taken over as head coaches, bringing new vibes to the league.
Mike Flabel is one of them.
Although Flaber is under 44 years old this year and is not young in terms of age, he did not retire until he was 36 years old. After retiring, he changed to a coach. He jumped in three levels in just seven years, becoming the head coach with a lightning-throw attitude and is also a member of the Youth Storm.
Like other young coaches, Flaber also showed his unstoppable and energetic side, and stood at the top of the league in his second head coaching season:
Not only did they enter the playoffs, but they also declared with practical actions that they were not here to play supporting roles—
They are here to win.
In the wild card game, facing the former parent team New England Patriots, the team that once topped the Super Bowl side by side, and the former coach Bilicek and his former teammate Brady, Flabel played a wonderful game, and the snake grabbed the weakness with seven inches, making Brady uncomfortable in the whole game.
He defeated Bilicek in his way.
In the divisional match, facing the Kansas Chiefs, the last team in his career, Flaber once again demonstrated his ability as a linebacker and a defensive coach. In the first quarter, he controlled the situation with an unparalleled performance, starting from the "rhythm" to interrupt the Kansas Chiefs' offense.
To some extent, it can be seen as Flaber's learning from Bilicheck because he spent the longest time in the New England Patriots, which was also the most peak and strongest period of the New England Patriots. Flaber clearly knew the role played by the Secret Service team.
In the last game, Vlabel relied on fouls and the secret service group to control the game time. The rogue is the rogue and the ugly is the ugly, but Bilicek is also helpless, which has to be said to be impressive.
In this game, Flaber also started with the Secret Service group and created opportunities at the beginning of the game—
In the first punt of the Kansas Chiefs' game, the Tennessee Titan Secret Service group blitzed and blocked the Kansas Chiefs' punt.
Then, the Tennessee Titans Secret Service team picked up the football and launched a back attack on the spot, breaking into the end zone with lightning speed.
Pull-up blocked back attack for touchdowns.
The Tennessee Titans, with the typical New England Patriots, gave the Kansas Chief a warning in the opening stage and quickly established an advantage.
In addition, if running back Henry had a strong performance with God's help, the Tennessee Titans scored 21 points in the first quarter, and their scoring ability was really terrifying.
Flaber's tactical layout worked from the opening stage, building an advantage in one go, and not giving the Kansas Chiefs a chance to gain a foothold. Before the Arrowhead Stadium had completed the warm-up, the Tennessee Titans had taken over the game strongly, instantly widening the gap and leading the way.
Of course, from the result to reverse the situation, everyone will be able to get a hindsight, and there is no difficulty; at the beginning of the game, from layout to execution to effect, this is the most difficult.
If the Tennessee Titans' offensive group and the Secret Service group are in their own hands, then the Kansas Chiefs' offensive group cannot be decided by Flaber. How to limit this league's top offensive group in the first quarter is the real challenge for Flaber to show his abilities.
Flaber knew very clearly how difficult it was.
In the tenth week of the regular season, the Tennessee Titans played against the Kansas Chiefs at home.
At that time, Mahomes was absent due to injury and was still a substitute quarterback Moore as the starter. The Tennessee Titans were entangled with the Kansas Chiefs and bit the game tightly until the fourth quarter. The Kansas Chiefs instantly made efforts to get rid of it. The Tennessee Titans did not keep up with the rhythm, and the game ended with a slash of losses. Flaber and Henry swallowed a bitter loss.
Now, the Tennessee Titans are making a comeback. Flaber knew they were facing a test, one was the devil's home court at the Arrowhead Stadium, and the other was the return of Mahomes' healthy return, and the challenge was taken to the next level.
Facing the Kansas Chief who was a survivor, the Tennessee Titans were unable to win; and now facing the complete Kansas Chief, what should we do?
However, Flaber still used his strengths to come up with a solution:
The frontcourt press.
Simply put, the core is pressure.
It's not a sack, but pressure, because Flabel knows Mahomes and Levi's counterattack ability under extreme pressure. Instead of putting his strength into sacks and grappling running backs behind the line, consuming energy and making the post-match data red but not bringing substantial victory, it's better to make full use of the linebacker's role to connect the defensive front line and the defensive second line, and disrupt the Kansas Chiefs' smooth offensive rhythm with chain defense.
What's the meaning?
The focus is on regional joint defense.
Flaber did not emphasize strangling the attack completely because he knew it was too difficult; the key was to put pressure on the opponent at all times, like ghosts and shadows, and continue to wander around the field of vision of the offensive players, like shadows and lingering, creating a bomber effect.
In this way, from starting to running, then to catching the ball, and finally to pushing, you can feel the ubiquitous pressure every step and every movement, including Mahomes and Levi. The shadows are floating around, and I don’t know when I will take the step but I can’t get rid of it completely.
The final situation is that the pressure is always circling at the tip of the eyes.
Starting from Mahomes and Levi, indirect pressure is given and mobility is maintained; then it spreads to all aspects such as the fast end, the wide receiver, etc.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
The Kansas Chief's advancement can still be promoted, but the efficiency of the advancement is greatly reduced. What's worse is that the smoothness of the advancement rhythm is stuck.
Since the 2017 season, the rhythm control of the Kansas Chiefs' offensive group has been among the best in the league, but they are not invincible. They have encountered difficulties in the face of defensive teams such as the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens and other defensive teams. Obviously, Flaber gathers the essence of the family, fully utilizes his talent and ability, and demonstrates his belief in victory that he is determined to win.
And, that's not all.
If it were just the Tennessee Titans defense that targeted defense, the Kansas Chiefs would not be so embarrassed; the key point was their own mistakes.
Kelsey and Hardman each showed up once.
Levi and Watkins made a mistake in coordinating the route.
In addition, Hill had an accidental ball drop that almost caused an interception. Although Hill immediately controlled the ball's right to avoid the ball's right conversion, the entire Arrowhead Stadium still took a breath.
Among them, Kelsey's mistake was the most fatal.
With three gears and six yards, Kelsey has completed the catch and has a little bit of progress; but he didn't expect that he was too impatient and was all over his mind to turn around and continue to push, so he was unable to fully control the football.
As a result, I dropped the ball with butter, wasted opportunities, resulting in a strikeout.
