943 Horn of Counterattack

So, who is Bruce Arians, the offensive coordinator of the Pittsburgh Steelers?

Simply put, Arians was once the quarterback coach of the Indianapolis Colts, step by step to train Payton Manning in the first three years of the rookie stage.

Since then, Arians has worked for Cleveland Brown and Pittsburgh Steelers. He has proved that he has coached his ability to play quarterback and wide receiver positions, especially passing lines, quarterback layout, etc., which is also reflected in the Pittsburgh Steelers' short pass tactical layout this season.

Not long after that, in 2012, Arians became the intern head coach of the Indianapolis Colts in the fifth week of the season. When Big Manning was abandoned by the team due to injury and then transferred to the Denver Broncos, the season was opened with two wins and two losses. Arians took over and trained No. 1 pick quarterback Andrew Luck, and successfully scored a record of nine wins and three losses, directly proving his ability.

Later, Arians was poached to the Arizona Cardinals, and once again proved his ability to train quarterbacks. He won more than ten games in three consecutive seasons, which was a brilliant record. Although he was in trouble because of his poor record, he chose to retire at the age of 65, but he only had a year off and returned to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2019.

In Arians' hands, Jameis Winston, the No. 1 pick quarterback who never showed all his energy, played his best career performance, passing 5,109 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 30 interceptions. The 5,000-yard yards successfully ranked among the top five in history in the ranks and 30 interceptions in history, and became the first quarterback in history to have both touchdowns and interceptions.

Then... in 2020, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady transfers to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, looking forward to the second spring under Arians.

In other words, at this moment, standing opposite the Green Bay Packers' defensive team is such an offensive coordinator.

In the entire NFL league, Arians, like Andy Reed, are famous for being good at coaching quarterbacks. Obviously, he knows how to dispatch Rossrisberg; and Tomlin's bold and risky ideas can be achieved through Arians, which can definitely be said to be a match made in heaven.

From light to heavy, from cunning to solidity, the Pittsburgh Steelers showed different styles in the first and second waves of offense in this game, and then scored both points to successfully seize the lead in this Super Bowl finale. The cooperation between Tomlin and Arians can be seen everywhere.

In response, Lu Yiqi couldn't help but smile - he was indeed the strongest opponent this season.

The expression fell into Augustus' eyes, and he hit Lu Yiqi's shoulder worriedly, "You won't be stimulated to get nervous because of too much pressure, right?"

Lu Yiqi smiled even brighter and shook his head, "Don't worry, even if he is really crazy, he will finish this game and pull the Pittsburgh Steelers into the water." The light tone revealed a chilling chill, which made Augustus shiver.

Lu Yiqi patted Augustus on the shoulder and said, "Prepare to attack."

In fact, Lu Yiqi just sighed that after entering the playoffs, they have been like this, including the same game against the Minnesota Vikings. They are always behind in the game and then need to catch up with the scores all the way. They have never really played a good match, and now the Super Bowl is like this again.

But the sigh was only short-lived. Lu Yiqi also knew that the Green Bay Packers were indeed inferior to their opponents, and they were able to stand on the Super Bowl stage because they still refused to compromise and surrender under the wind, and fought to the last moment with all their might. The same is true for this game now.

Then, Lu Yiqi smiled at the defensive players who had left Lu one after another, encouraging their performance.

Turning his head, Lu Yiqi could see the offensive team players who were actively standing on the sidelines to prepare for the field. They were also slapping high-fives with their defensive teammates, showing affirmation with practical actions. The eager and positive expression did not require Lu Yiqi's encouragement at all, and they knew that they were ready.

Then, let the storm come more violently!

The Green Bay Packers offensive team finally made its debut again, and the Super Bowl has entered the second quarter, but Rodgers's presence is only a pitiful three-minute and twenty-one second. The highly anticipated "Contradiction War" seems to have changed a position, but now we are finally going to witness the conflict and attack battle again.

But because he was too eager to show himself, a small mistake occurred in the kick-off and return attack. James Jones, the wide receiver in charge of the return attack, could not control the football. He rolled in his palm twice, and then fell. Although he responded quickly and picked up again to launch the return attack, he still missed the opportunity. In the end, he only returned to the fifteen-yard line and was surrounded.

This also means that the Green Bay Packers must start attacking from the 15-yard line of their own side, and the starting position is not good.

Rodgers led his teammates to the offensive team with his head held high, showing his spirit of countless polishing throughout the season in an orderly and orderly manner.

Similarly, the Pittsburgh Steelers defense team also entered the court with great confidence, and the sharpness and heavyness bursting out of their eyes demonstrated their confidence.

The second round of the "Contradiction War" officially begins, and pressure and confrontation have become the absolute core keywords.

The Pittsburgh Steelers put unparalleled pressure on the defensive front, and Tomlin fully draws on the Green Bay Packers' previous games. They did not pursue sacks, but just kept the pressure moving forward layer by layer.

Because Rodgers' pocket steps are very flexible, if the defense team is too urgent to press, it will easily be restrained by Rodgers, which will lead to an imbalance in the offensive and defensive confrontation in the second line. Then the Green Bay Packers won the opportunity again, and this has been the case in many games.

Therefore, the Pittsburgh Steelers only continued to create enough pressure on the front line, but did not rashly move forward. At the same time, they also left enough defensive power in the second line. The iconic Pittsburgh Steel Screen completed the interception layer by layer, disrupting the Green Bay Packers' receiving and running route layout and compressing the Green Bay's passing route.

In this way, because the Pittsburgh Steelers have enough force to put pressure on the front line, it does not leave Rogers with time to adjust; at the same time, it compresses the push space of the receiver in the second line, forcibly shortens the range of the receiver's movement, and ultimately forces the Green Bay Packers' offense to curl up in the short pass area-
