704 The Eagle Strikes the Sky
"Troy, how do you think Green Bay will attack next?"
On the court, the main defensive tackle of the Minnesota Vikings seemed to have some injury problems. The team doctor came on the court to conduct an inspection, so the game did not continue for the time being, which also gave the studio more time to analyze and adjust.
After inspection, Edwards had no major problems and remained on the court and continued to fight. He was also the main force of the Minnesota Vikings, which was a good thing for the home team.
Waiting for both sides to complete the array again, Eckman quickly analyzed his thoughts.
"From the picture, we can see that Minnesota's second-line defense began to hoard heavy troops, linebackers, cornerbacks, and safety guards, and scattered into different positions. Three defense lines were listed to form three levels of gate defense; at the same time, there were only four defensive front lines left on the defensive front line and still sticking to their posts."
"This also means that Coach Childries has not shaken his mind. He hopes to be able to defend the second-tier defense - even if the price is to sacrifice ground defense, he is trying to defeat his opponent's strengths with his shortcomings. As you said before, this is a battle of momentum."
"In the opening stage, the score gap between the two sides has not been completely widened yet, and it is more of a battle of momentum."
"Coach Archie chose to play four yards and two yards, while Coach Childries defended and passed the ball in the red zone. It was not so much a tactical significance as a psychological contest. Now, the Minnesota Vikings still have the upper hand in morale, and it depends on whether they can suppress the strong counterattack of the Green Bay Packers."
Eckman's quick summary is very accurate and has a unique understanding of the psychology of players and coaches. Buck then added, "It can be seen that the rise of Green Bay Packers is rising rapidly. This is also the first counterattack of the visiting team since this game. If the Minnesota Vikings can't even suppress the first wave of counterattack, then the subsequent game will inevitably be more difficult."
"I agree. But I believe that the Minnesota Vikings, who have experienced the severe test in the final stage of the regular season, also have strong beliefs to strive for victory." Eckman nodded in agreement.
While speaking, Rodgers had already announced the kick-off again on the court.
"attack!"
Hold the ball in both hands and take a step back.
Take steps back again.
Still taking steps back.
Rogers, standing in the pistol formation, tried to make some fake moves, creating chaos in the choice of running and passing, but he didn't have enough space to complete this, as the Minnesota Vikings' defensive front line burst out with powerful energy again, instantly tearing through the pocket protection.
The tiger goes down the mountain!
In the first quarter, the Minnesota Vikings' performance in the defensive front line was indeed the top of the league. They weakened the attention of ground defense to a certain extent, and all the focus was on attacking quarterbacks, which also made the already superb defensive front line even more unstoppable.
The Green Bay Packers' offensive front line is really unbearable, and the ever-changing tactics still lack effective means of resistance in the face of absolute strength.
The same is true at this time.
Although the Minnesota Vikings only had four passes, the strength and rhythm of the four defensive forwards were instantly pushed to the extreme, destroying the pocket protection of the Green Bay Packers' offensive forward line, and Pat Williams and Kevin Williams cut into the pocket directly with a domineering attitude.
Rogers, who lacked Grant's cover, was directly exposed to the two Williams.
Retreat step.
Retreat step.
Rogers retreated quickly with small steps in a row, without much tricks, just retreated straight. Although the speed of the two Williams breakthrough was slightly beyond expectations, Rogers was not panicked because Grant was also sent out as the fifth wide receiver. This situation was the expected situation, which was faster and slower, and there was no essential difference.
calm.
Rogers's entire brain was in an absolutely calm state, and the coach left him a retreat: Grant.
If the situation is very critical, Rogers only needs a light throw to find Grant in the right wing short pass area. At least Grant can complete the catch and continue to advance some yardage so as not to be in a hurry.
At this time, Rogers's gaze also captured Grant's figure. He had successfully run out of a small gap and was always ready.
But Rogers did not pass the ball immediately, and his vision raised slightly, bringing the layout of the far-reaching area into his eyes-
The Green Bay Packers, who set out two-by-two offensive formations, quietly launched the classic four-wide receiver formation, with Driver and Jennings on the left, and Nelson and Jones on the right.
After the kickoff, Driver deliberately stayed in the short pass area to catch up with troubled waters, cut into the central area, and prepared to respond; while Jennings joined Nelson and Jones, gathered to the right side, and three wide receivers appeared in three different positions on the right wing of the end area.
but!
The Minnesota Vikings' second-line defense was not disrupted, and they still showed three levels of defensive systems, including linebacker, cornerback, and safety. Because Driver and Grant are still in the short pass area, these players must stay in place to avoid their continued advancement after receiving the ball. This also means that the three wide receivers entering the end zone have formed a one-on-one situation.
Chance!
The Minnesota Vikings' prudence and conservatism, in the face of the boldness and adventure of the Green Bay Packers, a misalignment creates an opportunity to fight one-on-one match.
It seems very long to describe, but in the actual game, it was just a time to inhale, and even the inhalation movement had not been completed, Rogers's vision had accurately captured the opportunity.
Take a step back!
While retreating continuously, the two Williams' bodies were pressing up quickly, flying towards them like brown bears, but Rogers's steps quickly completed the adjustment. He was in the process of retreating, one pausing, one twisting his waist, and one pushing, and his right hand swung quickly like a whip to teleport the football out.
Whoosh!
At the critical moment, seeing the two Williams being about one and a half steps away from Rogers, the sack seemed to be close and within reach, but Pat Williams watched the football take off from his eyes. Even if his upward movement was firm, it was still half a beat slower. Then the football drew a thrilling arc and soared towards the far-reaching area.
Long pass?
It's actually a long pass?
It is not a short pass or a middle pass. It can be judged from the parabola. This is a long pass, so it is a long pass aiming at a dead corner of the far-reaching area of the end area?
Pat's heart was almost about to stop beating because he knew that their defensive tactics were completely seen through by the opponent. Now, he could only hope for his second-tier defensive teammates, but the Minnesota Vikings' second-tier defense...
So, who is the target of the pass?
Who is the player who is defending against the position?
Whoosh!
The thrilling pass arc eagle strike in the open space attracted the attention of the audience!
The whole audience, hold your breath.
Chapter completed!
