It has been mentioned earlier that rugby is a complete collective event, and lone wolf heroes like football or basketball cannot appear in the rugby arena.

First of all, the offensive group, the defensive group and the special service group are three independent individuals. Only one side performs well, and the other two are disasters, so the game is still very difficult, which requires the concerted efforts of the three parts.

Secondly, the same is true for each group to list and discuss it separately. Take the offensive group as an example.

For example, if the offensive front line cannot complete its own tasks, the quarterback may be under pressure at all times, or even encounter sacks, and there is no way to find the pass target, so naturally it cannot pass the ball; or if the quarterback successfully completes the pass, but the wide receiver and the tight end are unable to catch the football, then no matter how powerful the quarterback is, it is still a clever man who can't cook without a grain of rice.

Such things.

Rugby competition is like a precision instrument. If any link is missing, it may cause a complete collapse; but it is precisely because this is a collective project, one link has problems, and other links can use their own strength to make up for it and fight for victory side by side.

There are many reasons why the quarterback's passing success rate is low, such as the wide receiver's level is too slow and he cannot catch the ball repeatedly; for example, the offensive front line is not protected, which leads to the quarterback's ability to accurately output the ball; for example, the wide receiver's running route is incorrect, and he has not run to the tactical position at all... Of course, in the final analysis, the most core reason is that the quarterback. Overall, it can be summarized into two trends:

One is that quarterbacks make mistakes in their judgments, or make wrong choices subjectively or objectively.

One is the ability defect of the quarterback, just like the three-point shooting percentage of basketball. If it doesn’t work, it won’t work, and hard practice may not necessarily lead to breakthroughs - otherwise the hard practice is not enough.

In normal games, the defensive team continuously puts pressure on the quarterbacks to force the quarterbacks to make mistakes, which belongs to the first type; while the offensive team provides a relatively stable pass environment, the quarterbacks still cannot control the football, which belongs to the second type.

The most regular and perfect football pass should be to be in a shuttle ball state, maintaining a high-speed operation at a horizontal state, maintaining a stable rotation speed, ensuring that the pass parabola can be accurately controlled by the wrist, and finally achieving the effect of "playing wherever you point". The best pass accuracy in the league is undoubtedly the Drew Brees, the leader of the New Orleans Saints.

So what about Josh Freeman?

The main one is the first one - objectively speaking, Freeman's passing accuracy without interference is not amazing, but it is still above the average level of NCAA; the 51.9% pass success rate last season was indeed a bit scary, and more reasons are from the first one, the passing judgment under pressure made continuous mistakes, and the overall interpretation ability of the field was insufficient, which magnified the "interference-free passing accuracy" that was not the top.

Under pressure, Freeman's passing vision is easily "blocked". It should have been a 180-degree pass vision, but in the end it was only 60 degrees or even 30 degrees. Only one corner could be seen. There was no clear and accurate judgment on the position judgment of offensive players and defensive players, confrontation conditions, and movement trends, which seriously affected his passing judgment. He often made many wrong choices at the moment of taking action.

The ending is self-evident: not to mention the poor pass success rate, he also made six touchdowns last season, and there were fifteen interceptions.

The so-called interception means that the pass that should have been passed to the offensive team players, but was caught by the defensive team players. This will directly lead to the conversion of the ball rights, whether it is the first level, the second level or the third level of the offense, or even preparing to challenge the touchdown before the end zone, the ball rights will be directly handed over to the opponent.

But if the offensive front line can provide Freeman with a relatively stable pocket - the so-called pocket, that is, the space for five offensive front line players to line up, from the leftmost to the rightmost players to match vertically is called pockets. Therefore, the offensive front line's cover for quarterbacks is also called "pocket protection" - in the relatively stable state of pocket protection, Freeman's passing vision can also be stabilized, and the passing success rate is not that bad.

However, Freeman only played at Kansas State University for a year, and how did Lu Yiqi know about the information that Long Pres didn't know?

Video of high school competition?

no.

The truth is that it comes from Lu Yiqi's memory in his previous life.

Later, Freeman did enter the NFL through the draft in 2009 according to his father's expectations, with a 17th pick in the first round - a quarterback that was very favored by scouts and was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He started in the second half of the rookie season and successfully became the team's starting quarterback in his sophomore season. Thanks to the protection of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' strong offensive front line, his pass success rate was as high as 61.4%, and the interception number also dropped rapidly from 18 in the rookie season to six, leading the team into the playoffs, which was undoubtedly one of the league's focus in 2010.

Unfortunately, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers later replaced the head coach, and Freeman began to be unacceptable again, and problems of passing success rate and interception number appeared again; later, his performance began to plummet, eventually gradually withdrew from people's sight and became a substitute. After 2015, he fell into a dilemma of no ball to play.

Is Freeman a good professional quarterback? This has to be a question mark.

But can Freeman be competent for quarterback duties in NCAA? Lu Yiqi believes that this is no problem.

There may be many ways to use Freeman correctly, but at the beginning of the second half, Lu Yiqi had limited time, and he had no time to make arrangements one by one, and he didn't have time to slowly adjust the offensive front line. So he adopted the simplest and most effective method:

Determine the pass target in advance.

In the professional league, this method is difficult to work because the opponent's cornerback will not leave too many opportunities for singles to fight, and once the routine is discovered, the opponent may seize the lead; but in ncaa it is another story.

The pass target is locked on Nelson and Murphy, which also means that Freeman does not need to observe or judge. He just needs to find and then take action. This is enough - Freeman is focused on dodging the impact of the defensive forward line and then passes the ball accurately; the rest is left to the two wide receivers.

The same goes for the last long pass.

Rather than saying that Lu Yiqi believes in Freeman, it is better to say that Lu Yiqi believes in Nelson.

Sure enough! The tactics worked!

In the shortest time, finding the most effective and direct way to get the team back on track quickly, Lu Yiqi successfully achieved it through his own overall control!

Behind the seemingly simple and straightforward tactics is Lu Yiqi's accurate interpretation of the game, finding the crux of the game like a scalpel, and prescribing the right medicine, making the offensive team quickly find their own rhythm, and then making a rush to win a touchdown before the opponent reacts.

Then the next step is to transform the Kansas State Wildcats’ defense team-their goal is to create strikeouts!

The so-called strikeout is very simple, that is, the offensive group has four offensive opportunities in total, but three consecutive offensive attempts failed to complete ten-yard advancement. At this time, the distance from the goal is too far, and it is impossible to try a free kick. Then the fourth offense can only choose a punt - in the fourth offense, the punt appears and kicks the rugby out, just like a kick-off, the farther the goal, and then hand over the ball to the opponent.

This is called strikeout.

Auburn University Tigers' offensive team is not very good.

Individually, the overall strength of this team is now relatively weak. Main quarterback Brandon Cox left the field directly after graduating from college; King-dulap and Tyronne-gree on the offensive front line both entered the league later, but they both lacked impressive performances, and they still existed as rotation players. Lu Yiqi only had a vague impression of them, and could not even be sure whether they were the ones in their impression.

In other words, this is an offensive team that relies on collective strength to open up the situation. Perhaps the individual strength is mediocre, but tactical combinations can often create threats.

However, in the NCAA arena where talent is leading, you only need to meet one or two defensive players with strong individual abilities, and you may directly break the situation.

Unfortunately, the Kansas State Wildcats are missing such a powerful figure - the defense team is also their weakness.

This also means that the offensive and defensive confrontation between the two sides will be more of a tactical confrontation, just in time, this is Lu Yiqi's strength.

"Mr. Latimer!"

Mo-latimore, defensive coordinator of the Wildcats at Kansas State University, Nelson had just completed the touchdown, and Lu Yiqi had already started looking for his colleagues.

The coaching staff of the football team is very complex, headed by the head coach, with offensive coordinators and defensive coordinators. Then, in each position down, there are their own exclusive coaches, quarterback coaches, wide receiver coaches, etc. Because each position in football has distinct characteristics, the training methods and tactical manuals are very different, which makes the coaching staff composition rich and diverse.

Mo Latimer is the defensive coordinator and is the "second-in-command" on par with Lu Yiqi, and is also affiliated with head coach Long Pres' next level.

But the difference is that Lu Yiqi and Pres only joined the Wildcats last year, and 2007 was Latimer's 22nd season with the Wildcats, and things were still subtle. After Pres was sick and hospitalized, Latimer turned down the invitation of the interim head coach, which led to Lu Yiqi's position.

As for the reason why Latimer declined, it is unknown.
