Chapter 414 Four gears and one code
One defense, Jackson.
Second defense, Boslusny.
Levi was mentally prepared for this scene, because the middle road was the hardest hit area, and it was truly shocking every step of the way; but Levi was not omniscient and omnipotent, and there were no eyes on the back of his head. Just when he was about to tangle with Boslusni, something came from behind him. A slight disturbance.
Not heavy, but off balance.
Judging from the position, it should be another defensive tackle Abby Jones.
But now there is no time to think about the future. The immediate crisis is the focus.
Although the force behind him was not heavy, it was more sudden than before. It caught Li Wei off guard, so that without protection, his body weight had already jumped forward. Even though he tried his best to control it with the strength of his waist and abdomen, he could not stop the forward move.
Boslusni's figure dilated in his pupils.
Since you can't dodge, then fight head-on——
Levi simply gave up control, threw his entire body weight forward, and even kicked off the ground continuously, rushing towards Boslusni like a derailed train.
Boslusni was caught off guard.
The linebacker was preparing to tackle, and then watched Levi throw himself into the trap. The joy lasted for less than half a second and turned into panic in an instant.
Pounce, hit, push.
A series of movements hit Boslusny head and face without any pause or interval.
Boslusny's center of gravity was completely unsteady, and he stumbled back continuously; Levi put his helmet on Boslusny's shoulders and continued to charge forward.
Kick off the ground and exert force.
In other words, the two simplest movements pushed Boslusni forward.
finally!
Boslusni could no longer hold on, so he rolled over backwards, seeing that Levi was about to break free and continue to push forward.
In Levi's eyes, he could already see the two security guards rushing towards him. As a result, Boslusni grabbed Levi's calf the moment he fell to the ground, and fell to the ground with Levi in his arms.
This time, Levi couldn't get away.
despite this!
Levi still pushed hard for eight yards, turning the Kansas Chiefs' 15-yard dilemma on second down into seven yards on third down, once again showing the strength of the running back.
Levi looked at Poslusny with bright eyes. He almost completed the breakthrough and advanced a few more yards before the safety guard formed a siege, but Posrusny's decisive performance eliminated this possibility.
The intensity is indeed rising steadily.
Full of fighting spirit, Levi showed a smile on his lips, stretched out his hand to help Boslusni stand up, patted him on the shoulder, and without saying anything else, turned around and continued to line up——
Seven yards on third gear.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that both teams showed their trump cards without reservation. The Jacksonville Jaguars faced the powerful Kansas Chiefs, and the defensive team fought without giving in. The game finally became exciting.
really!
On third down and seven yards, Smith found Hill with a quick short pass, trying to catch his opponent off guard; however, the Jacksonville Jaguars' second-line defense was highly focused, and cornerback Boyer completed the tackle immediately, giving Hill no chance to continue advancing. Chance.
Four gears and one yard.
finally!
The Jacksonville Jaguars held back the Kansas Chiefs' offense with an absolutely tough and iron-blooded attitude, showing that they are the favorite to win the championship.
The Everlasting Bank Center burst into cheers.
However, the Kansas Chiefs have no need to regret. They have reached the front line of the red zone. Buck's free kick is almost not difficult. As long as it is successfully kicked, they can still continue to expand the score.
However, Reid watched the court quietly——
Eleven yards ahead of the end zone.
Do you want to give up this opportunity?
Be more conservative and choose a free kick, and the score gap will widen to ten points; be more adventurous and aggressive, that is... "Strike the fourth gear."
"It's unbelievable that Reid chose to force fourth gear."
"The Kansas City Chiefs were lining up quickly. The Jacksonville Jaguars didn't expect this at all. Smith was ready to catch the opponent off guard."
"kick off!"
"Smith, Smith is stepping back, this is actually a passing attack!"
Four gears and one yard.
In a rare move, the Kansas City Chiefs took a risk and didn't take a safe kick because Reid realized that this moment was a morale battle.
Compared with scores, what the two sides are competing for is a kind of momentum and fighting spirit.
Indeed, the Kansas Chiefs can steadily build a score advantage, but this also means that the Jacksonville Jaguars defense can gain a firm foothold, and subsequent games will return to a tangled stalemate.
So, it’s better to give it a try.
Even if they failed, they still maintained the score advantage, and then continued to return to a stalemate, with the outcome unknown.
Once successful, the Kansas City Chiefs can further disrupt the existing situation.
Reed, decided to take a chance——
What I caught was an accident.
They hurriedly chose to force a fourth down, rush into formation, and kick off immediately, without giving the Jacksonville Jaguars defense any time to plan their tactics.
With the word "fast", the Kansas Chiefs offensive team set the rhythm.
But passing?
Is it wise to challenge the Jacksonville Jaguars' league-leading pass defense with the Kansas City Chiefs' slightly inconsistent passing offense this season?
For the first time, the Jacksonville Jaguars entered a familiar pattern——
Quick, so what? Their basic tactics are etched in their bones.
In the first step, the two cornerbacks Boyer and Ramsey were stuck in position, focusing on Kelsey and Hill. The outside linebacker Telvin, who belongs to the strong side, also quickly approached Kelsey, ready to help Ramsey at any time. .
The second step is to apply pressure from the front. In addition to the Jacksonville Jaguars' reputation as a sack village, their ability to continuously maintain pressure on the defensive front is also among the best in the league. Even if they only have four people rushing the pass, it cannot be underestimated.
When Smith announced the kickoff, the Jacksonville Jaguars started to defend in a reflexive manner. This is also an important reason why strong defensive teams can often gain advantages in the playoffs. They are stable enough to face any surprises.
Then, they noticed Smith's passing feet, and the linebackers and safeties spread out.
This is the frontier of the red zone, and an eleven-yard pass can be aimed directly at the end zone; therefore, when the defense does not attack the quarterback with all its strength, the first reaction is to cut off all receiving points and put the quarterback in trouble.
Back and forth, the Kansas Chiefs focus on surprises, and the Jacksonville Jaguars focus on stability. In a flash, the strength of the fourth gear defense is fully displayed, so that no one has time to think about a question:
One yard on fourth gear, Why did Reid choose a passing offense?
At this moment, seeing the defensive front once again showing off its "sack village" style and the offensive line's pocket protection in jeopardy, Smith turned around:
A flat throw.
The football fell into Levi's arms.
Fake fax runs.
It turns out that this is the real tactic and the real intention behind the Kansas Chiefs' choice to quickly line up and kick off the ball quickly.
And, this is still not all——
Tactics within tactics, Reed's choice to force one yard on fourth down was definitely not a blind risk.
The moment Levi caught the ball, all the Kansas City Chiefs players moved.
The offensive line pushed the defensive line to move to the left, and Kelsey on the right also pushed Ramsey to move to the right sideline. This opened up the gap in the right slot.
This is the real secret.
