Chapter 418 Predicting the Future
Staggering, Fournette was unable to control his body balance after all, and fell to the ground in a panic. Every muscle in his body was protesting, as if he was about to fall apart in the next second. Can't even stand up.
This time, Fournette did not stand up immediately, but lay on the ground breathing heavily, looking at the stars and the full moon above his head:
He wanted to be quiet.
Then.
A face appeared directly above Fournette, showing a bright smile, and stretched out his right hand towards Fournette, "Man, why are you lying down? Get up quickly, keep going, keep going!"
This was clearly a provocation. Fournette wanted to tear Houston's smiling face apart, but he had no strength at all and couldn't make a sound.
A lazy donkey rolled around. Fournette avoided Houston and climbed up on his hands and knees. Then he could see Houston holding his helmet and howling there, as if his soul was traumatized. This made Fournette feel depressed for a while:
Hell, it was obviously him who got hurt, okay?
The first gear is ten yards, and suddenly it becomes the second gear and ten yards, and it is still in the same place.
"... Judging from the formation, the Jacksonville Jaguars are preparing to pass the ball, but pay attention to the positioning of the offensive line, this may still be a running ball."
"The Kansas City Chiefs defense needs to watch the offensive line's starting moves, and the Jacksonville Jaguars may use a screen short pass tactic to cover the ground attack."
In the commentary box, Romo's prediction came to light, and the situation on the court suddenly changed——
He, again, predicted correctly.
Bortles used a short screen pass as a cover, but in fact he didn't even fake a running move. He handed the football to Fournette from the beginning, and he followed the screen movement of the offensive line as if it were true.
It can be seen that despite the average strength of the Jacksonville Jaguars' offensive team, Maruo did not lie flat. There was some ingenuity hidden in the tactical design this time, trying to bring some surprises.
Nanci's face was full of surprise and he couldn't help but glance at Romo:
Is Romo some kind of prophet? Can you see the future without tarot cards and a crystal ball?
But Romo did not respond to Nantz and looked at the court intently.
Not only him, but the Kansas Chiefs defense also saw through the Jacksonville Jaguars' strategy.
Bang!
Fournette hit the wall again. This time, he encountered three consecutive waves of attacks from linebackers, cornerbacks and safety guards. He kept hitting the wall in the triangle area like a bumper car. He tried to force a break with force, but at the end he was dizzy and crashed. He fell to the ground with a bunch of birds hovering over his head.
Frustrated.
This time, Fournette couldn't even get angry. He just lay on the ground and looked up at the stars, refusing to stand up, exuding an aura of hopelessness.
He strikes out. Is there any way to survive in this game? Since all his dignity has been lost, he should lie under the car and no one should pay attention to him.
Nanci was even more surprised by this scene——
The performance of the Kansas Chiefs' defensive team... was not only highly focused and not distracted by the opponent's fake smoke bombs; it also played with intensity and momentum, completely controlling the game.
Now, the Jacksonville Jaguars are a bit confused.
From the defensive team to the offensive team to the coaching staff, everyone was caught in the impact and could not recover. In just a short period of time, the game was completely under the control of the Kansas City Chiefs.
But what happened?
"Tony?" Nantz looked at Romo, "You accurately interpreted the Jacksonville Jaguars' offensive tactics, and the Kansas Chiefs also accurately interpreted the opponent's offensive tactics. How did you do it?"
Although Bortles is not an Oscar winner, the tactical layout of the attack just now is indeed exquisite, at least Nantz did not see the clues.
Romo laughed dumbly, showing a slightly helpless smile.
"It's not that I'm that good, it's that the Jacksonville Jaguars' offense got stuck in their own mindset, and they trapped themselves."
"From the regular season to the playoffs, the Jacksonville Jaguars' offense is not top-notch, but they have always been able to advance steadily. In the final analysis, they rely on the league's second-ranked ground attack." "However, and trying to find a balance between passing and running, Unlike the Kansas Chiefs, who rely more on the individual abilities of the two rookie running backs Levi and Hunter, the Jacksonville Jaguars' offense is entirely focused on ground advancement."
"According to statistics, in the two playoff games of the wild card round and divisional round, the Jacksonville Jaguars used 58.4% of their offense to run the ball on the ground, which is the highest proportion among the twelve teams in the playoffs."
"In this game, so far, the proportion of Jacksonville Jaguars choosing to advance on the ground has increased to 66.7%."
"what does that mean?"
"This means that on the first and second offense, the Jacksonville Jaguars have a high probability of running the ball and not passing the ball until the third offense."
A quarterback, indeed a quarterback.
As soon as Romo explained, Nantz's thinking became clear.
Nantz, "Run the ball on the first gear, run the ball on the second gear, pass the ball on the third gear, everything is in order."
Romo nodded to Nantz, "It's not that we are prescient, but that the Jacksonville Jaguars have a routine in their offensive tactics."
"The Kansas Chiefs defense just needs to adjust a little bit and stay focused, and they can seize the opponent's lifeline. Now the Jacksonville Jaguars offense is in disarray."
"Leaving aside the tactics themselves, this is what confuses me the most."
"Why?"
"Why are the Jacksonville Jaguars' offense so rigid? Why are the Jacksonville Jaguars' call plays so blind?"
"I understand that the Jacksonville Jaguars' offensive tactics have achieved many successes, and Maruo himself is not a coach who is good at offense. It is a natural choice to continue to play according to successful routines; but this is the conference finals, and they face It’s the sophisticated Reed, why did they shrink back and tie him up?”
"When running the ball in the first gear and running the ball in the second gear, it seems as if they feel some pressure, as if they are the side leading the score, as if they don't have the courage to take the lead, and the entire tactical choice is extremely conservative."
"Note that until the second quarter, the two sides were still tied, but Maruo's tactical choices were as if they already had a three-touchdown lead."
"I personally cannot understand and am not sure how the Jacksonville Jaguars' pregame tactics meeting was prepared."
"Of course, in the first quarter of the game, this tactic worked, and the two sides maintained a balance; but then the Kansas Chiefs' on-the-spot response broke the deadlock, and Reid followed up very promptly in terms of offensive and defensive follow-up tactics. It can be seen that they are very well prepared before the game and have prepared different preparations.”
"But the Jacksonville Jaguars don't seem to have that."
"A set of tactics has hit a wall, but Ma Ruo has been stuck in this set of tactics. Their on-the-spot response is completely unable to keep up."
"You can't blame Fournette for his poor performance. The Jacksonville Jaguars need to get out of their current state. What they need most urgently now is the halftime break. After returning to the locker room, see if they can regain their thinking."
"otherwise……"
"The game may get more difficult."
Romo still controlled himself and remained neutral, hoping that the second half of the game would be more exciting; but the problem is-
Why isn't the first half over yet? When will it end?
This nightmare seems to have no end in sight.
