417 Tactical Code
On October 19, 2008, the Green Bay Packers' match against the Indianapolis Pony officially started at 4:10 p.m. local time in Green Bay.
The Indianapolis Colts won the coin guessing session, and Big Manning chose to take the lead in attacking, so he led the offensive team to officially debut.
In the first wave of offense and defense, Big Manning performed very solidly and steadily, and completed the defensive reading meticulously.
In fact, the Green Bay Packers' defensive team position did not have much variety. They chose the basic position of the "3-4" formation, and the position of the cornerback and safety guards did not reveal much information, and faced the Great Manning with the basic formation.
Because Lu Yiqi understands Big Manning's defensive reading ability, it is difficult for those clues to escape Big Manning's eyes. Therefore, from the perspective of formation layout, it is either solid or trap-the calculation and counter-calculation of offensive and defensive games. The horn must be sounded from the array stage.
However, Lu Yiqi is studying Big Manning, and Big Manning is also studying Lu Yiqi.
Rumors that the time for Grand Manning to watch the game video can even exceed that of the head coach, and the research level of the tactical manual is unmatched. Now it seems that rumors are not groundless.
Although the Green Bay Packers' defensive formation is very basic and there are no clues, Great Manning still turns the situation around with his on-site command.
"Omaha", this is the iconic tactical slogan of Great Manning. This is the name of a city in Nebraska. Because Great Manning shouted too many times, Omaha City Hall even invited Great Manning to serve as the city's propaganda ambassador, which also became an interesting story in the league.
As for tactical slogans, "Omaha" is not a secret, this is the simplest "reversal" slogan-
Simply put, the tactics arranged in the business gathering stage undergo a fixed reversal. For example, it was originally a running ball, but now it has changed into a short pass; it was originally a short pass, but now it has evolved into a middle pass; it was originally a short pass on the screen, but now it has evolved into a fast short pass.
Such things.
First, how should we "reversal"? At the tactical training meeting before each game, the quarterback will communicate with his offensive teammates. Therefore, there is a huge amount of work to complete every week. Once the progress cannot be kept up and the tactical understanding is wrong, the game will be a disaster.
Second, in every "reversal", how should the wide receiver, running back, and offensive forward stand, and what details should the quarterback pay attention to to guide the reversal? Whether there are codes, such as numbers, letters, and gestures in the reversal slogan... these need to be paid attention to.
To give a simple example, words with the letter "R" may be rushing to the right; words with the letter "L" may be adjusting tactics to the left; of course, there are also words like "Laser", and words with both "R" and "L" will be decided based on the tactical meeting before each game.
Because every team is studying the opponent's tactical slogans and using any means, this forces every team to be more cautious.
In 2007, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick sent his assistant coach to the opponent's half-court position in the game against the New York Jets, and secretly filmed the opponent's tactical manual and tactical commands on the court. After deciphering it on the spot, he defeated the opponent.
Later, the incident was officially confirmed by the league, and Bilicek admitted the charges, and eventually he was fined $500,000 - the highest fine the league has the right to grant, and deprived the New England Patriots of the 2008 first-round draft pick.
Since then, the New England Patriots have also been exposed for the follow-up of the Spy Sect. They will secretly take pictures of the opponent's coach's gestures in every game, then decipher the tactics, and then take the initiative to sign the players who are about to meet the team of the team in the season to specifically check whether the deciphering is correct.
This is also the reason why all coaches later chose to use tactical boards to cover their mouths when setting up tactics on the spot.
Although there is no direct written evidence, ESPN interviewed more than fifty players and received at least 50% of the affirmative responses.
However, the Pittsburgh Steelers further confirmed this speculation. In the playoffs, the Patriots' defensive and offensive team directly shouted out the Steelers' tactical codes and cracked their tactics, so that the Steelers' players were in a hurry and at a loss.
Not only that, the Patriots also sent spies - private detectives to the visiting team's hotel and locker room to steal tactical manuals.
This incident was later discovered by some teams, who deliberately put out the wrong tactical manuals to mislead the Patriots. The news gradually spread in the league, and other teams were also on guard against it.
In addition, at the New England Patriots' home court, they will use radio to interfere with the visiting coach, quarterback and the combat room's microphone communication, and disrupt the tactical arrangement.
The New England Patriots also sent staff to pretend to be NFL staff or advertising company employees to go to the training ground of future opponents to shoot videos—
This incident was discovered at the New Orleans Saints' training ground, causing the two teams to completely break up.
The New England Patriots are indeed unscrupulous in order to win, making their reputation in the league very badly, and also forcing other teams to become more and more complex and their slogans become more and more secretive, which changes every week.
Compared to the NCAA, the NFL's tactical slogan is simply a book of heaven, and it changes every week, and you must keep up with the team's progress every week.
It is also because of this that the pride of heaven who swept through the army in college, Ryan Leaf and Johnny Manziel were completely lost after entering the professional league and became lost in the crowd after just a few seasons.
Not only quarterbacks, but also for other players. Big Manning may shout "Omaha" fifty times in one game. It is estimated that the players in the offensive team will also be dizzy and their attention must be highly concentrated throughout the whole process. A little distraction may lead to the disadvantage of offensive and defensive confrontation.
Tactical codes like "Omaha", in fact, every quarterback of each team has its own habitual tactical slogan.
In the 2018 season, quarterback Jared Goff often called the names of Hollywood superstars, including the multiple calls to the name of "Halle-Berry". In fact, this is the same as "Omaha", which is just a tactical reversal.
But understanding the meaning of "Omaha" has no effect at all, because the defensive side has no way to know the tactics that Big Manning arranged during the business gathering.
Obviously, Big Manning did it on purpose.
