Chapter 442: No. 1 on the Sack List
"attack!"
Minskrubben completed two passes in a row, and his self-confidence was improved. He was very excited at this time, feeling in very good condition, and his voice was very exciting and powerful.
Bang bang bang...
There was a violent collision at the line of scrimmage. The forwards on both sides were like two fierce torrents of steel, sparks erupted the moment they merged.
The Jets' defensive tactics were to prevent the opponent's passing attack, but it was wrong. This time the Dolphins played a running attack.
Quarterback Minsk Ruben looked like he was passing the ball, but when he passed the running back behind him, he handed the ball to the running back very covertly.
He drew the Jets' defense to himself, and the running back took advantage of the opportunity to penetrate the chaotic front line in front of him.
In other words, as long as the running back rushes three yards past the front line, he can get the first down.
When the running back receives the ball, he is 6 yards away from the ball line. If he rushes another 3 yards, he has to rush 9 yards. From start to acceleration, it takes up to two seconds to complete the rush and get the first down.
"Running back rushes into formation, watch out!"
In the live commentary box, Russell Neveda jumped up anxiously.
At this time, five Dolphins offensive forwards had blocked four Jets defensive forwards, and both sides fell down and crooked under the collision.
Three of the Jets' four defensive linemen were down, and only the point guard was still standing.
At five-on-four, only two of the Dolphins' five offensive linemen were down, with three remaining standing.
At this time, the running back holding the ball starts rushing from behind the line of scrimmage.
The three standing offensive linemen in front immediately began to move. The Dolphins' center was responsible for blocking the Jets' standing forward, and the other two were responsible for blocking the Jets' three linebackers behind the defensive forward to prepare for the running back's rush. The formation provides cover.
"Bang!"
The last sharp edge rushed hard, and although the opponent's center took a step back, it was already too late. He could not stop the opponent's running back from rushing into the formation. He could only stare with dizziness, but there was nothing he could do.
Behind him, one of the three linebackers reacted, it was Zhao Dong.
He is the tallest in the game, and his vision is not blocked by the front line at all. He can clearly see the Dolphins running backs rushing into formation.
So it is the fastest to respond.
When he took one step forward and pounced on them, neither Lewis, the middle linebacker, nor Yorkham, the weakside linebacker, had seen the opposing running back start charging. His reaction was more than two beats faster than the two of them.
"Bang!"
Dolphins tight end Lucas Rex desperately collided with Zhao Dong. The latter staggered and was not knocked down, but continued to run forward crookedly.
Just in time, this collision allowed Zhao Dong to avoid the blockage of a Dolphins offensive forward, and he successfully passed the chaotic line of scrimmage.
The Dolphins' running back holding the ball was still two yards away from the ball line. His vision blurred, and with a bang, a huge figure rushed from the side and pushed him to the ground.
Sack!
Zhao Dong pinned the running back tightly, and he completed the first sack of his career. His eyes were red with excitement. The excitement was no less than the moment when he scored 100 points on the Lakers.
"yeah!"
A sack is of course one of the most exciting scenes in a football game. The team's biggest superstar completed his first sack in his life. The fans in the audience suddenly raised their arms and cheered wildly. The cheers of more than 80,000 people made the whole crowd cheer. The stadium was trembling.
"yeah!"
Everyone on the Jets bench, from head coach Edeltz to the bench players, including a group of security guards, jumped up excitedly.
"Sack! Sack! No. 1 Tyrannosaurus successfully completed the sack. He completed the first sack of his career. He ended the rush of the Dolphins running back."
On-site commentator Russell Neveda roared excitedly.
"Congratulations to Tyrannosaurus. Your first sack came so quickly. Your performance lived up to the cheers given to you by the fans..."
co-star Wells Michael shouted excitedly.
At this time, the Dolphins are nervously preparing for the third offensive attack.
Russell Nevida continued to explain: "The Dolphins' first offensive position is 43 yards, and the second offensive position is 2 yards back. Then the third offensive position is the 41-yard line, and the third offensive position is 5 yards. The Jets still face In danger of getting a first down by the Dolphins.
If the Dolphins get the first down again, they will probably advance to the 50-yard line, which is quite disadvantageous for the Jets. "
The Dolphins' offensive formation has been completed. This time, they have set up a grand I-shaped rushing formation. Quarterback Ruben is one yard behind the center, with fullbacks next to him and behind him preparing to rush. Half guard.
On the opposite side, center linebacker Lewis immediately made on-the-spot adjustments and gave defensive orders and anti-run tactics, which was to defend the opponent's running ball attack.
In this defensive tactic, the two defensive ends are very important. They are the outside of the four forward lines. Their bodies are smaller than the two defensive forwards inside, and they are faster and more explosive.
This anti-run tactic requires them to deal with their opponent, that is, the offensive forward of the offensive team as soon as possible after the kickoff, and then prevent the opponent's running back from running the ball from the flank, or directly impact the quarterback and running back, destroying the offensive team's Offensive structure.
If you want to ask which position in the game is most likely to complete a sack, it is the defensive end.
Michael Strahan, who set the all-time single-season record with 22.5 sacks, is a defensive end.
"attack!"
Dolphins quarterback Reuben hissed.
Bang bang bang...
In the chaotic forward line, the right end of the Jets was knocked crookedly by an offensive guard (trip guard) on the opposite side. Although he did not fall to the ground, he had completely lost speed, and the opponent was not knocked down.
This means that he lost the opportunity to rush across the line of scrimmage, directly hit the enemy's back, and disrupt the offense.
At this time, the fullback of the Dolphins who opened the way rushed towards him.
He was about to move to block the guard, and with a bang, he collided with the guard on the opposite side. At this time, the guard passed by him.
Weak side linebacker Yorkham rushed towards the fullback with all his strength, and with a bang, the two fell down at the same time during the collision.
But the Jets' defense was still there, and linebacker Carnes Lewis dived toward the line of scrimmage to prevent the halfback from passing.
At this time, the half-back holding the ball, who was protected by the full defender, was still one yard away from the ball line. When he saw a defensive player coming towards him, he evaded in an emergency and got rid of Lewis's tackle.
"pretty!"
Seeing this dodge, Cecil Norby roared excitedly in the TNT commentary box.
"Tyrannosaurus!"
At this moment, his partner Philolas yelled, startling him.
"Bang!"
After getting rid of Lewis's tackle, there was no man's land twenty yards ahead. The Dolphins halfback was excited and was about to continue charging when a huge figure suddenly rushed from the front right side and instantly sacked him. .
The impact was too great. His head hit the ground and he was immediately dizzy. Without the protection of a helmet, the possibility of injury was very high.
"Ouch!"
The exciting sack happened again, the Giants Stadium was completely boiling, and the crazy sound swept everywhere like a tsunami.
"Incredible! Unbelievable! The Raptors completed their second sack! He topped the sack list this season. He actually topped the sack list in one fell swoop! Oh, it's incredible!"
In the TNT commentary box, Cecil Nobby looked horrified and his eyes nearly popped out.
"Ha ha……"
Ferolas laughed wildly with excitement, and finally stopped before shouting excitedly: "This is Fei Long. Do you know why he is so good in the NBA? Because he can get misplaced advantages in every position, and now, He still has a huge mismatch advantage at linebacker."
Cecil Norby was startled, feeling suddenly enlightened, and immediately shouted: "I understand, he is faster than forwards and linebackers, he has the speed of a top receiver, and the receiver is the fastest of all positions Yes, the Dolphins didn't calculate his speed at all today, so he got sacks one after another, which is really great!"
"That's it, that's it. Playing linebacker with the speed of a top receiver, this is a mismatch advantage. It's the same as the NBA, the linebacker is equivalent to a small forward, but the Raptors have the speed of a top guard, but his position is not It’s a small forward.”
Philoras said excitedly.
At this time on the Dolphins bench, head coach Lock Osman needs to make a decision on fourth down.
There are three options.
The first is to continue the fourth-down offense, try to advance 6 yards and get the first down.
The second is to take a free kick and score directly.
The third was a punt.
"Punt it."
The third offense went back one yard, the fourth offense was 40 yards, and the fourth offense was 6 yards. This offense was sacked twice in a row. The next offense had to advance 6 yards. The chance of success was not high, so He decided to punt.
He didn't choose a free kick because it was too far away from the goal, 60 yards, plus the goal was 10 yards behind the end line, and then the kick was 8 yards behind the line of scrimmage, which added up to 78 yards, which was simply impossible. Shoot.
The general shooting distance is within 35 yards, plus the extra 18 yards, it is 53 yards, a distance of more than 40 meters. Beyond this distance, the shooting accuracy cannot be said.
The so-called punt is the situation the Dolphins are facing now. After the third offensive, there is no possibility of advancing 10 yards in the fourth offensive, then there will be no fourth offensive and the punt will be made directly.
To punt is to return the ball to the opponent, kick it out, and keep the opponent's offensive position away from the end zone.
Basically, it's pretty much the same as the opening kickoff.
The punt symbolizes the end of the Dolphins' offensive series. There is a dedicated punter. This is the job of the special team. The offensive and defensive teams of both sides end the game and the special team comes on.
Zhao Dong and others came off the field and received a warm welcome from the bench and thunderous applause from more than 80,000 fans.
"Feilong, you completed two sacks, and your reward is to serve as the returner this time." Head coach Eddles said as he grabbed Zhao Dong who was about to sit back on the bench.
"Oh, coach, your decision is so right!" Zhao Dong said excitedly.
"Feilong, you weren't knocked down just after you left the end zone, were you?" Quarterback Verin Paul joked with a smile.
"This time I will come back with another 100-yard touchdown." Zhao Dong immediately raised his middle finger at Paul.
"Haha..." The bench burst into laughter.
Special teams from both sides immediately took the field.
"Oh, look, Tyrannosaurus is up, near the end zone, and he's back to the attacker. Don't let the Dolphins sack him in the end zone, right? The Dolphins are targeting him now."
Russell Neveda joked in the commentator's seat.
"Ha ha……"
Partner Wells Michael just laughed out loud.
Although Zhao Dong wanted to score another 100-yard touchdown, the Dolphins didn't give him any chance and kicked the ball directly out of the end line.
In the transition from offense to defense, the Jets got the ball, and the offensive position was their own 20-yard line.
Both teams' special teams are off, the Jets offense is on, and the Dolphins defense is on.
Zhao Dong's performance on the defensive team was very good, and he was like a superstar. As a reward, he was entrusted with an important task by Edwards and made his debut again as the main force of the offensive team, as a running back.
"The Raptors are known for their versatility in the NBA. After switching to the NFL, he once again showed his versatility from being a return man on the special team, to a linebacker on the defensive team, to a running back on the offensive team."
Russell Neveda laughed.
