Chapter 411 Like a Wolf
"From the current point of view, the Jacksonville Jaguars have always focused on ground attack, and running back Fournette plays a more important role than quarterback Bortles."
"This is an opportunity for Fournette."
"An opportunity to prove that I am no less than Levi, an opportunity to prove that I have the ability to become a top running back, and an opportunity to prove that running backs can change the situation."
"Fournette has been living in Levi's shadow throughout the season. It wasn't until the last game against the Pittsburgh Steelers that Fournette found his voice. Now he can finally face Levi head-on. Fournette Need to seize the opportunity.”
Unexpectedly but reasonably, the quarterback battle of "Smith VS Bortles" was not the highlight of the game. Instead, the showdown between the two running backs Fournette and Levi became the highlight of the American League finals. focus--
Sure enough, times create heroes. This is a scene that Goodell couldn't create even if he wanted to control it behind the scenes, but it is indeed happening now.
Just now, Levi broke the history of the American League finals with a 103-yard touchdown run, becoming the longest touchdown run in the American League finals in the Super Bowl era, once again pushing Levi's momentum to a new height.
Social networking platforms have completely taken over.
Now, the opportunity comes to Fournette.
Of course, the premise is that it still depends on Ma Ruo's offensive tactical choices.
On the other side, the Jacksonville Jaguars offense is mobilizing its troops.
The home team is now faced with a twelve-yard dilemma in the second gear, and running the ball may not be the best option; but when it comes to passing the ball, they need more careful cooperation.
On the other hand, the Kansas Chiefs defensive team is also reading and planning.
Should they take the initiative? Or wait for the opponent to make a move and then adapt accordingly.
As a linebacker, Houston is reading the offense, trying to find the truth from the opponent's dazzling offensive layout and see through the opponent's offensive strategy.
Huh?
Houston was slightly confused.
He was not sure about what he observed, and had different judgments in his mind; but there was no time to hesitate at this time, and he still chose to trust his intuition.
Making a quick decision, Houston shouted slogans and gestured to his defensive teammates.
After some operations, the Kansas Chiefs defensive team spread back slightly——
This is...a posture of pass defense; moreover, it focuses on mid-range or long passes.
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Bortles also noticed, but Bortles is a taciturn and honest man, just like Quasimodo in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", simple and kind-hearted, and perfectly follows the coach's tactical arrangements, even if Players don't mind if everyone complains about the system.
Bortles has a clear understanding of his talents and abilities. Sometimes, being an obedient quarterback and trusting the judgment of the coaching staff can actually help him gain a foothold in the league.
Look, they're in the American League Finals, right?
What's more, the scene before me also proves that the coach's layout is correct, because the Jacksonville Jaguars are preparing...
Run the ball.
At twelve yards in the second gear, everyone thought the Jacksonville Jaguars would choose to pass the ball; however, they did the opposite and chose to run the ball again.
With a turn, Bortles handed the football to Fournette again.
"Chance."
Fournette is very calm and composed. He knows that this unexpected tactic can create mispositions and may become opportunities.
He will prove himself——
etc!
One second ago, the scattered defensive players seemed to be on full alert.
The next second, his expression changed, and he charged forward like a wolf.
It's not just Houston. The defensive net that had just been spread out tightened instantly. Obviously, being prepared for ground defense from the beginning and spreading out to defend the ball was just a pretense. Fooled.
Fournette immediately realized that their offensive tactics had been seen through by their opponents, but now it was too late to be upset. He staggered his position as soon as he stepped away, and actively ran towards Houston, preparing to use his power to destroy Houston's balance, and then seek a breakthrough opportunity.
However, it backfired.
"Three-person double team."
"Oh, Fournette had no chance, no chance at all. The Kansas Chiefs' defense was focused and stepped up immediately to complete the encirclement. Three players relied on their numerical advantage to snuff out Fournette's breakthrough."
"Stop!"
"It was still an interception at the line of scrimmage. Although Fournette relied on his strength to try to push forward, he was unable to advance even one yard. He was completely restricted by the Kansas Chiefs' crowd tactics."
"Obviously, the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive playbook got the upper hand."
Just now, what surprised Houston was——
Still running the ball.
With the ball running into the wall on the first gear and long yards on the second gear, the Jacksonville Jaguars still chose to run the ball; moreover, the offensive line's ground cover was nothing new, and Houston saw through it instantly and took the lead.
Originally, Houston had some doubts, but he didn't expect that he had predicted everything correctly.
Although the Jacksonville Jaguars offense is lackluster, it's not so lazy and clumsy, right?
However.
Actually, that's really the case.
Houston looked at Fournette, who was lying on the ground in a mess. He didn't even think about adding insult to injury. This kid was so pitiful. He still wanted to compete with Levi; but the gap between the two was too obvious. From the team's tactics to defensive reading to on-the-spot reaction, everything fell behind. It was obvious at a glance that Fournette was still an inexperienced rookie.
Everyone calls Levi "rookie", but deep down they know that this is just a nickname, a nickname, and a joke. It is precisely because Levi's performance on the court is not a rookie at all that this nickname became popular; otherwise, calling him "Rookie" Isn't it obvious that Fournette, a rookie, is bullying the newcomers?
Without comparison, there is no harm. If Fournette wants to challenge Levi, he may still need to practice more. Only God knows where Levi accumulated such "rich" game experience. .
Houston shook his head slightly, turned around and left without saying anything more.
Fournette:? ? ? Was that look of pity he just saw? mercy?
Twelve yards in third gear.
The Jacksonville Jaguars offense struggled again.
Originally, the Kansas Chiefs had just completed an impressive touchdown, and the home team should immediately launch a counterattack on the spot, so that they could seize the game and continue the tight situation.
However, that's it?
In just one minute, on the verge of a strikeout, the stalemate that had continued since the first quarter seemed to be broken. The game suddenly changed, and the situation became completely different.
Crisis looms over the long-term banking center.
but.
Third gear is third gear, at least this wave of attacks is not over.
Bortles has one more chance.
This time, the Jacksonville Jaguars won't be prepared to "surprise" and break the rules again and choose to attack on the ground... right?
If we continue to hit the wall, we don’t know whether Fournette should be called lucky or unlucky. Even Houston can’t help but feel pity and mourn for Fournette.
Fortunately, no.
The Jacksonville Jaguars finally chose to pass the ball. Just after the kickoff, Bortles continued to retreat, all the receiver weapons were deployed, and he assumed a comprehensive passing posture.
Bortles, give it a try!
