Chapter 441 The First Grapple

Then the Dolphins began to line up.

The Jets' main center linebacker is the core of the defense. Carnegie Lewis, who was injured by him in a training match, decides the defensive formation, including on-the-spot adjustments.

"Shotgun array."

After seeing the Dolphins' formation, he immediately began to arrange the defensive formation.

The shotgun formation is suitable for passing offenses. The quarterback's position is five yards behind the center, relatively back, with a wide field of vision, and uses the pass.

Soon, under his adjustment, the jet formation was completed.

The Jets' defensive formation is a traditional four-and-three, which means four defensive linemen at the line of scrimmage and three linebackers behind them.

There are four defensive forwards in front, two inside are defensive tackles, and the two outside on the left and right are defensive ends.

Because the Dolphins' main quarterback Ruben is right-handed, that is, his left side is a blind spot (when passing the ball, he deflects to the right, and the left side will be temporarily invisible), and the quarterback's blind spot is the Jets' defensive forward. And the linebackers focus on attacking positions, so among the Jets' four defensive forwards, the two tackles and ends on the right are stronger. They want to use Ruben's blind spot to attack him.

The three linebackers at the back are divided into inside linebackers and strong and weak side linebackers (outside linebackers). The strong side linebacker is responsible for confronting the opponent's near end. When necessary, he must use the physique of a defender to tackle the near end. As a forward, the strongside linebacker is usually the tallest among the linebackers.

The weak-side linebackers are responsible for covering the opponent's short and medium passes, and are also responsible for helping to defend the wide receivers. They need faster speed, so they are smaller in size.

"You, rookie, are in charge over there."

During the formation, Lewis pointed to his right side and shouted sternly at Zhao Dong: "Don't miss anyone, otherwise you won't get a good harvest."

He didn't give a strong side and didn't believe in Zhao Dong's strength at all.

Zhao Dong was startled. The other linebacker teammate was one size smaller than the opponent's tight end. Could he complete the tackle?

But as the defensive core on the field, Lewis had the power to arrange the positions of the two outside linebackers, and there was no time to argue. He could only line up as required and stand on the right side of Lewis.

On the bench, Edwards frowned when he saw this.

The opposing quarterback began to read the defense, saw the Jets' formation and personnel adjustments, and felt that he could play as agreed just now.

When the attack time came, the referee blew the whistle.

"attack!"

Minskruben gave a sharp shout and the attack began.

"Bang bang bang..."

A violent collision occurred at the line of scrimmage when the Dolphins center threw the ball under his crotch to Minscruben five yards behind him.

The Jets' four defensive linemen try to knock the opponent's five offensive linemen away to open a path for the linebackers behind them.

The five offensive linemen of the Dolphins are desperately trying to hold on and build the most stable pocket for the quarterback behind them.

Eight or nine fully armed forwards from both sides collided with each other desperately. The place was instantly in a mess, with countless "dead bodies" and it was extremely tragic.

At the same time, other Dolphins players began to pick up tactical runs.

Down the right sideline, star wide receiver Brandt Lint was running so fast that he not only attracted the attention of one of the Jets' cornerbacks, but also other Jets defensive players.

It's clear that he's the receiver for this Dolphins offense.

At this moment, the Jets' linebackers and cornerbacks began their defense, and the defensive formation quickly shifted to the left.

In addition to the cornerback opposite Brandt Lint following up, the safety guard at the back also began to adjust his position, preparing to block Lint.

Even the strong side linebacker also focused part of his attention on Lint's side. As long as the quarterback's ball was passed, he would rush to help defend.

At this time, Dolphins tight end Lucas Rex suddenly started and inserted forward into the middle.

The strongside linebacker responsible for marking him was half-focused on star wide receiver Lint, and his reaction was half a beat too slow.

According to the rules, the defender cannot pull or tackle the offensive player. He can only pull and tackle the opponent after receiving the ball, so he can only follow behind and lose a step.

The Dolphins quarterback had yet to get the ball out, and the pocket protecting him was solid, and the Jets' four defensive linemen were unable to break through that edge.

Of course, this has something to do with Zhao Dong, because he personally killed the most powerful defensive forward in the Jets' defensive team, Veris Venis, nicknamed the Three-Eyed Monster.

Ruben is waiting for an opportunity. He needs tight end Luka to run farther for the best passing opportunity.

"Five yards, seven yards, ten yards..." He became excited. He could get the first attack in one attack. It was so cool.

The next moment, he stretched his bow and arms, preparing for the final pass.

The foot is adjusting its position. This is a middle pass. It must be very accurate to avoid being intercepted by the opponent's middle linebacker and strong side linebacker.

"Uh-huh!"

When Luka ran thirteen yards, his ball finally passed out, flying into the sky along a perfect parabola, climbing over a small peak, and then sliding down.

"Damn it!"

On the Jets' bench, head coach Edward saw this and couldn't help but have eyes wide open.

That idiot Carnegie Lewis went against his schedule by letting Feilong play weakside linebacker, and now something is wrong.

His arrangement was to let Feilong play on the strong side, because Zhao Dong's physique is that of a tight end, and he can completely compete with the opponent's tight end. His interception skills are also good, and his jumping ability is very strong, and his interception skills are also passable, but It's all over now.

As agreed, the pass was a little high, so tight end Luka jumped high and caught the ball with both hands.

Behind him, the strong-side linebacker with strong jet strength also jumped high, trying to intercept the pass.

It's a pity that he is not tall enough, his wingspan is not enough, and although his jumping ability is good, this pass has already taken into account his interception, so it is still a little missed. The ball slipped over his fingertips and fell towards Lukare. kes hands.

"Snapped!"

Luka Rex caught the ball firmly with both hands.

And the next moment, as soon as he hits the ground, he will turn around and run desperately, continuing to move forward, and he even hopes to complete a touchdown.

This opportunity was great. The Jets' strongside linebacker was so short, at least ten centimeters shorter than him. With his wingspan, the height difference was huge. How could he intercept the ball?

The Jets' strongside linebacker named York Ham failed to intercept, and he immediately turned around to tackle Luka Rex.

However, Lukarex took advantage of his turning and swung his hands away. He was not strong enough to hold them.

"It's over!"

Yorkham was desperate. Behind him was an empty field. The cornerbacks and safeties behind him were attracted by Brant Lint. The ball was over.

"It's over!"

Similarly, middle linebacker Kanechi Lewis, who is responsible for defensive command, is also desperate.

"It's over!"

In the two commentary seats, four commentators shouted urgently at the same time.

"It's over!"

Countless home fans were anxious.

But at this moment, a figure rushed forward, and with a bang, Luka Rex, who was about to turn forward and pushed forward, was knocked to the ground with the ball.

"yeah!"

The sudden tackle made everyone excited instantly, and cheers erupted like a boiling volcano.

"pretty!"

Kaneki Lewis and Yorkham instantly felt as if they had risen from hell to heaven and roared with excitement.

"call!"

Edwards breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was pushed fifteen yards by the Dolphins, the situation was not too bad.

"damn it!"

On the contrary, the Dolphins were extremely annoyed and angry. Looking at the Jets No. 1 player who knocked down Luka, everyone gritted their teeth.

"Oh, a successful tackle, it's No. 1, it's No. 1, the weak-side linebacker Tyrannosaurus. He rushed to the strong side from five meters away and completed a successful tackle. He ended a very short time for the Dolphins. A possible touchdown..."

The on-site commentator Russell Neveda roared with excitement.

"Stupid defensive adjustment. Kanechi Lewis made an extremely stupid temporary adjustment. He actually let the short Yorkham guard the opponent's tight end, and let the tall Tyrannosaurus guard the weak side. This is simply Dumbest adjustment, his brain is broken! This is a grave mistake!"

Partner Wells Michael began to criticize Lewis, the core of the Jets' defense, without mercy.

Following his lead, the fans at the scene began to abuse Lewis. Although Lewis was the core of the Jets' defense, his strength was average and he was not a star player. The fans were not polite at all when they scolded him.

At this time, the Dolphins, who got the first offense, began to prepare for the second offense.

After the previous offense, there is only forty seconds of preparation time. After forty seconds, the ball must be kicked out, otherwise a penalty will be imposed.

The offensive position is where Lukarex was pushed to the ground by Zhao Dong, 36 yards away.

The first attack is a new attack, and there are also four levels of attack opportunities.

This time the Dolphins only got the first down on the first possession. The first possession was over. The next three possessions were not played and the first possession of the second possession was started directly.

"Listen, kid, do as I say and let Feilong fight on the strong side, otherwise I'll let you fool go to hell."

On the Jets bench, Edwards, with a headset on his head, grabbed the headset in his left hand and the microphone in his right hand, roaring loudly.

He is the defensive core of Lewis who commands the field. The opponent is the only player on the field who can contact him.

He roared, turned off the microphone, whipped back to general manager Philippe and shouted, "Maureen, we need a trade."

Phillip nodded, his expression also looking very bad.

He knew that Lewis was unhappy with Zhao Dong, but his behavior just now was too disregardful of the overall situation. It showed a lack of professional ethics. This kind of person cannot stay.

"Rookie, you go over there."

On the field, after being scolded by the head coach, Lewis could not resist. He could only point to his left side with a cold face and shouted at Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong glanced at Lewis, and through the masks of both parties, he could still clearly see the coldness in the other person's eyes.

But he doesn't care, sooner or later he will have to purge these guys who oppose him through the management.

For the Dolphins, quarterback Minscrubben once again gathered his teammates, mapped out a play, and then began to line up.

"attack!"

With Ruben's sharp shout, the first attack began.

Bang bang bang...

At the line of scrimmage, the mad rush began.

This time, Zhao Dong also rushed forward.

Opposite him was the Dolphins tight end Luka Rex, who had just been tackled by him on the previous offense.

Lucrex protected his chest with both arms and moved in the direction of Zhao Dong, blocking the front.

In football games, offensive players are not allowed to interfere with defensive players by pulling or grabbing, which is a foul, but they can block with their bodies to protect their own offensive players, which is what Rex is doing now.

"Bang!"

Under the huge explosive force, Rex fell down, and Zhao Dong staggered and rushed past the former.

His target was Dolphins quarterback Reuben six yards away. At this time, Reuben was still hiding in the solid pocket, observing the position of his star wide receiver Brandt Lint.

"Look, the Raptors rushed through the front line, can he complete the sack?" On-site commentator Russell Neveda shouted excitedly.

"..."

The more than 80,000 home fans in the audience looked at Zhao Dong with their mouths wide open, their eyes full of expectation.

This offense, the receiver is Lint.

Quarterback Minsk Ruben had already seen a Jets player rushing towards him, but he moved to dodge while still calmly observing Lint's movement.

At this moment, he saw that Lint had used his speed to get rid of the Jets' cornerback. With his bow drawn, he immediately threw his arm and fired a bullet pass to Lint, who was more than ten yards away.

"late!"

Zhao Dong had already rushed one yard away, with his hands on Ruben's waist. It only took half a second to complete the sack of the latter, but at this time Ruben's ball had already been passed, and he only needed Neng quickly retracted his hands, tilted his upper body, and staggered past Ruben.

After the quarterback passes the ball, the defensive player cannot collide with the quarterback, otherwise it will be a foul.

"well!"

Seeing that the sack was not completed, the crowd of more than 80,000 people sighed in unison.

"Oh, half a second later, Tyrannosaurus failed to complete his first sack!" Russell Nevida's voice was full of regret.

Brandt Lindt was one position ahead of the Jets cornerback. As he ran, he looked back to observe the ball. He found that the ball was a little biased and a little ahead. He immediately began to adjust his direction and accelerated toward the landing point.

But this pass was indeed made with too much force. Even if he accelerated, he could not catch the ball in time. He could only fly up at the last moment and dive to catch the ball.

"Snapped!"

He slid diagonally forward one meter close to the ground, and the moment he caught the ball with one hand in the air, the Jets cornerback behind him pushed him down directly from the air.

"Beautiful! 43 yards, 7 yards on the first possession and 3 yards on the second possession. The Dolphins are very hopeful to get the first down again."

In the TNT commentary box, Cecil Norby shouted excitedly.

"Brent Lindt's diving one-handed catch was really spectacular, and as the star player of the Dolphins, he did what he can do."

Philoras said excitedly.

Seth Norby laughed: “It’s really a shame that the Jets’ star player, defensive forward Three-Eyed Monster Venis, suffered a career-ending injury due to a strong collision in training before the preseason.

The retirement of Vines has severely weakened the Jets' defensive front strength, leaving the Dolphins' quarterback with little threat, who can pass the ball to any teammate he wants with impunity. "

"But they also have one of the biggest star players, I think Fei Long, oh, now we should call him Tyrannosaurus. I think he should stand up in the near future." Philolas laughed.

"That's not necessarily true. He is a superstar in the NBA, but this is the NFL. His growth is not certain. After all, he is 26 years old."

Cecil Nobi shook his head and smiled.

At this time, on the bench of the Dolphins, head coach Locke Osman was sure through two offenses and defenses that the Jets' defensive forwards could not break through their own forwards. This was an opportunity that could be exploited. He immediately sent signals to the four players through the headset. Shooting guard Ruben gave the latest instructions.

At this time the Dolphins' second offense began.

If the combined advance of the four offensive gears reaches ten yards, they can get the first down. So this time, the Dolphins only need to advance three gears, which is three yards on the second gear, to get the first down again.

This time, the Dolphins' offensive formation is still a shotgun formation suitable for passing offenses, with the quarterback positioned 5 yards behind the center.
