747 Pre-match preparation
Before the Green Bay Packers defeated the Minnesota Vikings to enter the divisional competition, the media hyped the old and new matches of "Kurter Warner vs Eli Manning"; and after the Green Bay Packers successfully advanced, the media hyped the strong match of "Coach Archie vs Manning Brothers 2.0".
Because the Green Bay Packers defeated the Indianapolis Pony, many fans widely regarded it as the best of the season. The post-match praise from Big Manning also made people see Lu Yiqi's light behind the team for the first time. Now, Little Manning is about to face Lu Yiqi, which is naturally full of countless highlights. The "New York Post" calls this game the "revenge battle" of the Manning family-
This is not groundless.
"Big Manning vs Brady", Big Manning is always at a disadvantage; but "Brady vs. Little Manning" is hard to describe. Little Manning's performance against Big Manning is indeed commendable. Who knows, maybe "Coach Archie" can achieve the fate of the next enemy.
At the pre-match press conference, a reporter asked Mr. Manning directly, "Did Payton give you some advice, how should he defeat the combination of Coach Archie and Rodgers?"
The reason why I mentioned Little Manning specifically is that the New York Giants' offense is indeed closely related to Little Manning.
Compared with Big Manning, Little Manning's tactical awareness and on-site command are indeed one level worse, but Little Manning's advantage lies in a big heart - or "heartless". The more intense the scene, the more brave the Little Manning's performance is, and she is known as the "nerve knife".
Objectively speaking, Xiao Manning's performance is indeed a big ups and downs.
In many games, Little Manning's performance was like a wake-up call. She sleepwalking throughout the whole process and didn't know what role she played on the court. But at some point, Little Manning was able to hit wherever she pointed and beat her with help from her. Her wonderful performance was completed in the fourth quarter.
This is the case with the New England Patriots who faced the unbeaten halo last season. Bilicheck and Brady were indeed unable to solve the problem of Manning, who showed off their power in the fourth quarter.
This season, the same is true.
The New York Giants' offense ranks fourth in the league, second only to the New Orleans Saints, San Diego Lightning and Green Bay Packers, but if you analyze it in detail, the ground offense leads the league and ranks first; the pass offense is only eighteenth, close to the back of the mid-range.
In the ground offense, Brandon Jacobs is the starting running back, while No. 2 running back Derrick-ward is also excellent. The latter has stronger long-distance running ability, better speed and explosive power. He also completed the 1,000-yard season, which also made the New York Giants the only team in the 2008 season with two 1,000-yard running backs.
In addition, the New York Giants' No. 3 running back rookie Ahmad Bradshaw is also good.
Of course, a large part of the reason is that the New York Giants have an excellent offensive front line, with two top superstar players leading three powerful blue-collar players, contributing the league's top pocket protection and ground clearance, which is also the guarantee that running backs can achieve good results.
In sharp contrast, the sluggish pass offense.
Eli Manning's performance is still ups and downs, with 3,238 yards in the regular season passes, 20 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, and the quarterback score of 86.4 in the season. Overall, there are not many highlights - after all, for excellent quarterbacks, the 4,000-yard season is the most basic measure.
Objectively speaking, the lack of powerful offensive weapons is one of the important reasons. The wide receiver and the tight end are both unknown blue-collar workers, which even forced Cofflin to choose the double-running back tactics many times, using all-guard Madison-hedgecock to cover people's eyes.
However, in the face of such a difficult situation, Little Manning can still occupy the starting position and hand in a qualified answer. This is his ability:
The tactics are implemented in place, the passes are straightforward, and the rhythm control and timing are also unique.
At the beginning, Kurt Warner was not able to receive attention in the New York Giants. The most important reason was that Coughlin believed that Warner held the ball for too long, which seriously disrupted his offensive tactics. Therefore, Coughlin would rather sacrifice his grades to train Manning than use Warner to ensure victory. In the final analysis, he hoped to establish his own tactical system in the New York Giants.
As it turns out, Coughlin succeeded.
Little Manning's time control is indeed excellent, fast or slow, and never hesitates, makes quick decisions and decisive moves. This is very beneficial for the New York giant's offensive rhythm control. Even if Little Manning is in poor condition, Coughlin can take the initiative through template attacks.
These "routines" are also the focus of Lu Yiqi's pre-match research.
This season, as the defending champion, the New York Giants' tactics have been thoroughly studied. In addition, the decline in Manning's condition has made Coughlin's on-the-spot dispatching more important.
Judging from the regular season data, the number of times the New York Giants' two wide receivers and a tight end are almost the same as the passing target, and there is almost a difference - in the league, the number of times the wide receivers are often 30% or even 50% higher than the tight end, which is the norm.
If you study the game video carefully, you will find that most of the tight ends' catchers are in three short numbers and tough advances in the red zone. The final result is that the two wide receivers each have only four touchdowns, while the tight end Kevin Burs has six credits.
It can be seen from this that Coughlin has a clear idea of the tactical layout of the entire offensive pass and dispatch, and there are traces to Xiao Manning's passing.
So, at the critical moment, Lu Yiqi interpreted the fake running and real pass tactic, while Woodson successfully defended Boss. The subsequent drop-and-result was an additional surprise-
By the way, this is the first time Burs has dropped the ball this season.
As you can see from the details, the Green Bay Packers defense team accurately grasped the offensive lifeline of the New York Giants, and indeed caught the opponent off guard.
Before the start of this game, everyone could predict that the tactical game between Lu Yiqi and Cofflin would be a wonderful contest. This is true. From the first wave of attack, you can already smell the smell of gunpowder. In the end, the young and energetic Lu Yiqi seized the upper hand.
"Let's watch the video playback."
"It's obvious that Boss is very, very upset. The first time this season dropped the ball and appeared in the most unstoppable occasion, but we must see that the tactical layout of the Green Bay Packers defense has long occupied the active position, and Woodson's performance once again proves that he is one of the best cornerbacks in the league."
"We all know clearly the ability of Green Bay Packers to make ball rights conversion, which is also one of the highlights of this game, but we didn't expect it to come so quickly."
"However, the referee still needs to watch the video playback. I think there should be no problem with the ball rights. The Green Bay Packer successfully created the ball rights conversion. The key is Collins's return attack. From the slow-motion replay, it can be seen that his left foot should be out of bounds."
