The wind is bright and cloudless. Green Bay ushered in a rare good weather in the severe cold winter. A town with heavy snow just now was piled up with thick white snow everywhere. The whole world was covered with a layer of pure white. The golden sunlight fell softly and lightly, reflecting a gorgeous halo, as if entering a fairy tale world.

Before the snow could melt, walking in the warm sunshine, the body temperature was no longer as bitter as before. You could even feel a thin layer of sweat seeping out of your back, and your muscles and body stretched out. The proposal to go outdoor activities was not so difficult to accept.

For Green Bay Packers, the routine training process has long been accustomed to, and it has nothing to do with the weather. No matter what the situation is, the training cannot be interrupted. However, having said that, who can resist a warm sun in winter? Even the basic training that needs to be carried out every day, the training of bathing in the sun is even more pleasant.

What's more, they still need training at this moment, which means that they are still in the Super Bowl competition, which is a good thing.

When the players arrived at the training base one after another, the coaching staff had already ended two tactical meetings.

The tactical meeting of the offensive group was handed over to Augustus, while Lu Yiqi personally attended the tactical meeting of the defensive group. Everyone knows that this game against the Arizona Cardinals will be a "offensive battle". Offense will become the weather vane that determines the direction of the game, but Lu Yiqi has different views.

The Arizona Cardinals' defensive team is indeed not good, almost at the bottom of the league, and their performance in several key games this season is also mediocre. Facing the New York Giants, New England Patriots, Philadelphia Hawks and other teams with strong firepower, they have not been able to organize effective resistance.

Of course, the Arizona Cardinals were able to enter the National League final stage, and the defense was not purely a decoration. They defeated the Dallas Cowboys in the sixth week of the regular season and defeated the Atlanta Falcons in the wild card game. It can still be seen that they are not completely a bottom on the defensive end.

In this regard, the Green Bay Packers' offensive team will never take it lightly.

According to Lu Yiqi's familiar development trajectory in his previous life, the Arizona Cardinals successfully entered the Super Bowl in the 2008 season, once again making Kurt Warner the name of "Cinderella", which is enough to prove that their strength cannot be underestimated.

However, objectively speaking, the Arizona Cardinals have indeed relied on the offensive team to fight all the way until now, and always handed over all the pressure to the offensive team at critical moments. Warner is the core soul of the entire offensive; while the Green Bay Packers are different.

Lu Yiqi firmly believes that the Green Bay Packers' offensive team has the ability to compete with the Arizona Cardinals and even has the confidence to surpass their opponents; at the same time, the Green Bay Packers' defensive team also has the ability to change the game, which is also part of what the Arizona Cardinals do not have.

Green Bay Packers need to insist on holding up the offensive banner, and then use the defensive team to complete the raid, disrupt the rhythm of the game, and then reverse the situation of the "offensive battle" and firmly take the initiative in victory in their own hands.

Lu Yiqi is the head coach. It is his job to strive for victory and achieve goals with the best means. As for the media and fans looking forward to an offensive battle, it is not Lu Yiqi's power - he is not Santa Claus, so the defense team is the focus of the preparation process.

So, how should we use defense to break the balance?

“…The front line. It’s still the front line.”

"No, Warner is a quarterback who likes to hold the ball. Do you remember? Cofflin would rather let Manning lose consecutively than use Warner to win the ball. The fundamental reason is that Warner held the ball for too long and did not meet the requirements of Cofflin's offensive system."

"Warner is an excellent quarterback, very, very good, but not a top quarterback. On the one hand, it interrupted his career due to serious injuries; on the other hand, it is because he has been holding the ball for too long, and in modern professional football games where the offense and defense are changing faster, this is very unfavorable, and it also increases his risk of injury."

"Warner needs a clear pass vision, and more importantly, he needs enough observation time - once these conditions are not met, his turnover rate will rise sharply, which is why his interception remains high."

"So, the front line is our opportunity, and we have to put enough pressure on Warner!"

When the regular season ended, no one was optimistic about the Arizona Cardinals, who had only nine wins and seven losses. They only ranked as the division champion because the National League West was so bad that they finally won a playoff spot, but their performance in the regular season was really unsatisfactory.

Even Kurt Warner, who is known as the "Cinderella", does not look at the Arizona Cardinals' offensive team at the fourth highest position in the league, but in fact, Warner's offensive efficiency has declined across the board, with 4,583 passes, 30 touchdowns, 14 interceptions, and the average quarterback score of the season is only 96.9.

In other words, in addition to the performance of passing yards still outstanding, other data can only be considered as the upper middle-level among many quarterbacks.

Warner's performance is not enough to make the team's offensive team fourth in the league. There is another reason for the strength of the entire offensive team. The Arizona Cardinals have a luxury star lineup of wide receivers, and they are all top players in the Pro Bowl and the first team level in the United States.

This is the real reason for the offensive team's toughness.

For the defensive coaches standing opposite Warner, the defensive goals are very clear. As long as the stability and accuracy of Warner's delivery shells can be cut off, it seems not difficult.

It is precisely because of this that when the playoffs are about to begin, no one is optimistic about the Arizona Cardinals.

but!

Warner once again showed his top level. Every time he stood on the playoff stage, this quarterback who has experienced countless hardships can always burst out with infinite power. Not only does it perform stably throughout the game, but it can always complete the explosion at critical moments.

It is a bit similar to Little Manning, but compared to Little Manning, Warner's overall performance is more stable, with a higher lower limit and an upper limit. More importantly, his condition is better than the next, as if he was born for the big stage.

From the Atlanta Falcons to the Carolina Panthers, their defense team was unable to limit Warner's performance, especially the defensive quality at critical moments failed to keep up. The Arizona Cardinals offensive team stood on the edge of the cliff and repeatedly created miracles to resurrect the dead.

So, the Arizona Cardinals made a counterattack and entered the National League finals.
