Chapter 486 His Pride
“Grass.”
After taking a deep breath, Revis still couldn't control himself and cursed fiercely again.
"Grass!"
Angry, frustrated, embarrassed——
He just failed to secure his position.
To be precise, the Kansas Chiefs defensive team made a mistake in judgment. Almost everyone thought that the Philadelphia Eagles would choose to run the ball, consume the game time, and force the Kansas Chiefs to use a timeout; however, Peterson showed courage and courage for the third time tonight. Choose the passing game without warning.
Falls connects with Ertz.
The tactic is very simple. Use the advantage of the tight end against the cornerback, and then seize the loophole of Revis's physical exhaustion and declining state, and Ertz eats Revis alive.
After receiving the ball with a seven-yard short pass, Ertz continued to advance and scored the first offense.
Then, the two-minute official time was paused.
Reed was also caught off guard. Although Reed was slightly better in terms of pre-match preparations; but in terms of on-the-spot command, Peterson had a slight advantage——
Don't forget that when Peterson was under Reed, he stood out due to his agility and sharpness in on-the-spot command.
Reed frowned slightly:
Levis can’t get stuck, what should I do? Should they replace Revis and use a backup cornerback?
But the problem is that the Kansas City Chiefs cornerbacks are generally lacking in ability, and even another player is half-measured, and they still cannot suppress Ertz and Clement; moreover, the Kansas City Chiefs cornerbacks are full of injuries, which is why they The fundamental reason why Revis was temporarily introduced at the end of the season and started in the Super Bowl.
what to do?
In a defensive situation where the Kansas City Chiefs had to stop the Philadelphia Eagles, they got off to a bad start.
Reed's eyes narrowed slightly.
Obviously, Revis also felt the frustration. He was like an ostrich, not daring to look at the coaching staff or the offensive staff. He lowered his head and diverted his attention. His head was filled with messy thoughts. He felt that he might be late for the season. No guarantee, the career ended in an ugly way.
His pride, his dignity, his persistence, all fell apart like a sand castle.
He was still fighting, but he couldn't tell for a moment whether such persistence was stupid or even dragging down the team.
"Revis!"
A call.
Revis looked up reflexively and saw Levi clapping his hands and cheering for him.
Levi didn't say much, he just stood there resolutely and resolutely, staring at him with his head held high, and then hit his chest with his fist again.
Revis was stunned, and then he could see the other Kansas Chiefs players and the huge red wave in the stands behind them, all without exception——
Keep your head up, chest out, refuse to give in, refuse to surrender, refuse to give up.
They are showing their support with practical actions.
Revis' eyes heated up.
Throughout his career, he has been fighting, fighting with his opponents, with his teammates, and with himself, all for himself.
Revis knows that everyone in the league says he is greedy. Before his contract expires, he will ask for a higher number to renew it again and again. Otherwise, he will fall out with the team and antagonize the locker room, causing a mess in the atmosphere of the locker room.
His greed made him unable to find friends in the alliance.
From the New York Jets to the New England Patriots, this is true for everyone. He was ready to renew his contract with the team and impress the team with his outstanding performance; but in the end, the team backed down because of the contract number he demanded, so that he renewed the contract. Negotiations failed.
After leaving the New England Patriots, he returned to the New York Jets not because of past friendships, but because the New York Jets gave him the highest salary number. It's that simple.
Therefore, everyone in the alliance calls him a mercenary.
He does not regret his decision. He firmly believes that that is his value. He is worthy of those wages. He will not think about those capitalists. Last year, after losing his job, no one wanted to look at him. It wasn't until Bob Sutton, who coached him during his rookie season and is now the defensive coordinator at the Kansas City Chiefs, suggested that Reid get a job that it was like food for him.
But now.
His abilities are slipping, his body and mind are protesting, and for the first time in his career it seems he can't do his job as he pleases.
He was ashamed of the salary check and Sutton's understanding.
However, the players and fans of the Kansas City Chiefs still did not turn around and leave, even if he was a mercenary.
This is the first time.
His entire career has gone round and round, but he never expected that he would actually find a sense of belonging at his last stop. So, is this the feeling of home?
Everything seems to be too late.
what to do?
Should you give up, run away, turn around and leave?
No, he doesn't want to. He can't.
He wanted to fight once, for himself and for the team. For the first time in my career, it's not for the check, not for myself, but for the team.
Revis took a deep breath, glanced at Levi again, confidence ignited in his chest bit by bit, raised his head again, took advantage of the pause in the official time, took steps towards Reid.
"Coach, I can."
Reid was a little surprised. The Revis he knew was proud and tough. He believed that his abilities were there. He could convince coaches and intimidate opponents without using words. He didn't bother to use words to emphasize himself and prove himself, so every time When discussing salary for the first time, he was always upright and confident.
But now, Revis took the initiative to find him.
Perhaps the Kansas City Chiefs are indeed growing and transforming, and are acquiring a different temperament bit by bit, not just because of advancing to the Super Bowl.
Reed looked into Revis's eyes.
Then, with a nod, Reid gave his answer.
Revis didn't stay too long, turned around and walked towards the court.
The timeout ends and the game restarts.
The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas Chiefs lined up again, and Peterson and Reid started their game again.
It can be seen from the connection between Foles and Ertz just now that Peterson knew the game was not over.
If the Philadelphia Eagles use their ground attack to consume time and easily strike out without struggling or trying, it means that the Kansas Chiefs still have time to launch an offense.
Peterson will not forget the nightmare of the tragic loss in the second week of the regular season, nor will he forget the miracle of the Kansas City Chiefs' Hail Mary victory over the New England Patriots in the divisional round. He refused to leave the Kansas City Chiefs a glimmer of hope, otherwise the Kansas City Chiefs offensive team will be destroyed today. Feeling hot, things still have variables. He cannot and cannot believe that his defensive team can replicate the miracle of ending the game.
So this means that the Philadelphia Eagles still have to win the first offense.
Continue to waste time, continue to waste timeouts in Reid's hands, and more importantly, continue to keep the Kansas Chiefs offense on the sidelines.
so.
Peterson refused to be conservative and still showed courage and courage at the tactical level.
One first down, and another first down was enough. The Philadelphia Eagles were only two minutes away from winning the first Super Bowl trophy in franchise history.
Naturally, Reid cannot take it lightly. He cannot take it for granted that the Philadelphia Eagles will choose to run the ball in a disciplined manner. The offensive and defensive game continues.
The pressure is still building.
The atmosphere is still heating up.
This is fair to both the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs.
