Tick tick tick tick.
Rogers seemed to be able to hear the sound of the second hand walking. The official two-minute timeout has just passed, which means that there are less than two minutes left to the end of the game, leaving the two teams with little time to show their tit-for-tat time, while the Green Bay Packers, who are temporarily behind, are a little more urgent.
This also means that every attack and defense may determine the direction of victory or defeat.
But what surged in Rogers' mind was not nervousness, but excitedness. The spirit of high concentration was perfectly achieved a balance.
With a sweep of sight, Rodgers quickly captured the defensive team's position and formation. He immediately understood that the coach's judgment was correct. So, without any hesitation, Rodgers announced the kickoff.
"attack!"
The sound passed over the field. Because of tension and anxiety, the home support waves of Giants Stadium seemed a little messy and could not form an effective attack. Rodgers's kick-off command spread smoothly to the ears of both offense and defense, and his eyes could immediately capture the defensive frontline that was desperate:
Five people rushed to pass.
At the critical moment, Coughlin had no time to schedule and adjust, so he chose to believe in the defensive forward line that performed the best in this game, and made full use of the five-man rushing pass to create a positioning advantage, create enough rushing pressure on the front line, and even directly sacked Rogers.
An expected choice.
"Coughlin believes that he will not sit back and wait for death when he takes the initiative to attack."
This is Lu Yiqi's original words. The more critical the moment, the more you can feel a person's personality. Therefore, Coughlin must choose to take the initiative, so the best choice is to rush forward and exert pressure on the front line.
Rogers, who was mentally prepared early, took a step back calmly and instantly widened the distance between himself and the forward line, from four yards to seven yards, just a blink of an eye. Moreover, Rogers did not make a fake handover with Grant, and his movement of the step back was extremely resolute and rapid. At the same time, Grant's impulse before stepping was also straightforward.
One interlaced.
Rodgers had retreated to safety, while Grant appeared near the slot on the left wing and turned into the fifth receiver.
Of course, the more critical part is still the front line confrontation.
The weak Green Bay Packers also took a step back immediately, gathering their pockets together to form a shrinking fan, firmly covering Rogers behind him; the powerful New York Giants defensive forward took full advantage, forcibly tearing the pockets regardless of the slightest recklessly.
The result is... the defensive forward still successfully seized the upper hand, and the hard power show strong strength, with gaps on both the left and right sides. Justin Tucker and Danny Clark completed the breakthrough one left and one right respectively, and rushed towards Rogers with big strides.
Retreat.
Rogers took two small steps back again, and his eyes kept calmly monitoring Tucker and Clark's upward steps, ensuring that he was always at a safe distance. Just as Tucker was about to jump forward, Rogers's footsteps had already been adjusted. He raised his right hand and was like a whip, and the football was thrown out.
"Ahhhh!"
Justin Tucker could feel the raging anger in his chest - a little bit, just a little bit, and he still couldn't reach it. It seemed that the whole defense was like this, just a half beat, but this mere half beat could completely reverse the offense and defense situation.
At this time, Tucker's forward pounce could no longer be retracted, and the pull of inertia and gravity made him pounce towards Rogers.
Although Tucker wanted to be impulsive, his reason still controlled his body, his muscles tightened, and his strength retreated. Then he threw himself on Rogers. The two of them rolled into pieces and fell to the ground. Tucker's ears seemed to be able to catch the trivial sound of football flying out.
Whoosh.
Tucker immediately turned his head and looked towards the second line of defense in the direction of the football. Now he could only pray that his teammates would complete the defensive mission.
Through the crowds entangled with the front line, Tucker only saw a dark blue jersey standing like a human wall. The alarm sounded immediately. This was not good news.
If the New York Giants' defensive second-tier players are built into a wall of people standing between the short pass and the middle pass area, what about the end area of the far-reaching area?
Does this mean that the New York Giants' defensive second-tier defense also made a mistake?
Tucker could not see the specific scene, his heart contracted like this, and he couldn't help but hold his breath. Then a faint but firm, faint but fanatical cheer came from his ears. He subconsciously looked over the source of the sound, and there was a golden green.
...
Safety guard Michael Johnson hesitated a little. After the kickoff, he could see the storm created by the defensive front line. The Green Bay Packers' pocket protection was in trouble again, which also means that Rodgers will face a crisis again. Then, even if Rodgers completes the pass, the possibility of passing the ball should be-
Short or mid-pass.
In order to cooperate with the front line to rush through, the New York Giants' second-line defense opened up regional joint defense. Six players retreated immediately, scattered in the short pass and mid-pass areas, building a man wall, and Johnson was the last line of defense.
At this time, Johnson swept through the game and could see the accumulation of heavy troops in the short pass area, including Driver, Donald Lee, and Grant, three receivers, were moving in the short pass area, especially Grant. The delayed move to step allowed him to enter a five-yard unman's area in the short pass area.
what to do?
The regional joint defense of second-tier players has temporarily slowed down, and has not followed the close-fitting defense step by step, and has always paid attention to the trends of offensive players, and has not been able to make accurate judgments for a while.
At this moment, Nelson took the lead in completing the breakthrough. The unstoppable straight forward rushed forward disrupted the second-line defensive layout, directly cutting into the middle pass area from the right wing slot line, and entering the end area unstoppable, forcing two defensive players to keep up and try to keep a close eye on Nelson.
Jennings also completed the breakthrough, and quickly advanced from the left wing edge area.
Jennings's vision can capture the defensive players' positions, cleverly runs and shakes through those positions with a curve, and then accelerates the sprint along the sideline. After cutting into the five-yard line, an inward cut and pull returns to the inside, and the footsteps have already entered the end zone.
Subconsciously, Johnson approached Jennings quickly, but his steps did not fully speed up, and his eyes were always observing Rogers' movements:
Short pass? Middle pass? Or long pass?
Are Jennings and Nelson the smoke bomb? Is the pass target Driver or Grant?
