383 First Seeing the Prototype
Marinelli, who is a defensive coach, does not lack ability, but lacks a view of the overall situation. He often cannot see the entire game, so that on-the-spot scheduling and tactical layout are at the level of "treating headaches and treating head and feet", which seems to have solved the problem, but still cannot reverse the situation.
Solid basic skills, rich experience, complete theoretical framework and clear thinking are all the advantages of Marinelli, but they can only be used in the paper talk stage, or they are under the command of others to act according to the instructions. If he serves as the head coach to give orders, the situation will not be very wonderful.
The Detroit Lions was Marinelli's first head coach after 30 years of experience. From 2006 to 2008, he was fired after just three seasons, and then he fell all the way. He couldn't even sit still as a defensive coordinator and went to the Chicago Bears and the Dallas Cowboys to serve as defensive forward coaches.
Of course, this is also Marinelli's unique skill. When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers successfully won the Super Bowl championship with their first three levels of defense in 2003, Marinelli was the defensive front coach. He trained a front line comparable to Iron King Kong, which really made the enemy scared.
Marinelli is better at the "4-3" formation, that is, ground defense and frontcourt pressure, but the Detroit Lions are equipped with the "3-4" formation—
It is unknown whether this is to prove his ability, the team manager's interference, or the player configuration has bound his hands and feet.
But the result is obvious.
The "3-4" formation should be a formation that emphasizes more on the tactical role of the linebacker. The pressure on the quarterback in the raid and pass tactics is a key link. Sacks, impacts, creating ball drops, forcing hasty shots and other data are all direct reflections of defensive ability, but the Detroit Lions defense team is completely silent.
Even Marinelli is best at ground defense, and the rigid tactical level and the stiffness of on-site dispatch make them lack the ability to confront each other; while the lack of players' strength further leads to a disadvantage in the strong confrontation, which collapses like a thousand-mile dike destroyed in an ant hole.
From the first wave of offense and defense at the beginning of the game, we can see that Lu Yiqi not only did not avoid Marinelli's "strong points", but also made targeted layouts, starting from the opponent's strengths, defeating the opponent head-on, and then establishing advantages to form suppression, and easily gaining the upper hand in the opening stage.
Obviously, choosing the ground offensive start was a tactical adjustment by Lu Yiqi, and the change in ground offensive tactics also allowed people to initially see Lu Yiqi's growth, and the transformation of the Green Bay Packers offensive team can be initially seen; similarly, Lu Yiqi's work in the defensive team has also been progressing in an orderly manner.
In the 2007 season, the core concept of the offensive team tactics of the Detroit Lions is not complicated.
Taking Calvin's route as the core, two or even three defensive players are restrained. If the defense is not in time, the quarterback will pass the ball to Calvin; if the defense is in time, the quarterback will pass the ball to find the gap for the other three receivers.
It seems simple and crude to describe, but it has many changes in actual operation. The tactical layout of the defensive team is often directly broken by Calvin, which also makes the on-site competition between the offense and defense teams have a subtle balance tilt, which will affect the outcome.
In the 2008 season, judging from the tactical layout of the preseason, the main running back of the Detroit Lions completed the replacement, and this year's 64th overall pick in the three rounds, Kevin-Smith successfully took the lead.
Marinelli's tactical intentions are very clear. He hopes that ground offense can open up the situation, not only relieve pressure for Calvin, but also make the offensive tactics more diverse.
However, after the offensive tactics broke expectations, the Green Bay Packers' defensive tactics also made adjustments, continuously overturning Marinelli's layout in the pre-match preparation stage.
As mentioned earlier, Marinelli is good at talking about things on paper, but in the actual progress of the game, his adjustments often can only keep up with local changes and cannot see the overall layout. This also makes his on-the-spot dispatch always slow down by half or a beat, making it difficult to keep up with the opponent's rhythm.
Now, even in the pre-match preparation session, Lu Yiqi successfully disrupted Marinelli's deployment with unexpected tactical layout, which also made the Detroit Lions immediately fall into a dilemma. Marinelli tried to find a response in the chaos, but he couldn't keep up with Lu Yiqi's rhythm.
The Green Bay Packers did not focus on Calvin as expected, nor did they strengthen ground defense as planned to encircle Kevin Smith.
They focused their entire defense on the front line duel, front-line pressure and quarterback interference, just like the second half against the Minnesota Vikings, showing the "attack" on the defensive side; and immediately accelerated at the opening stage, attacking the opponent with rhythm and strength.
Outside linebacker AJ Hawke quickly completed the array, staring at the opposite No. 8, Detroit Lions quarterback Jon Kitna.
Judging from Kitner's eyes and posture, this should be a pass attack, but it is impossible to judge whether it is a short pass, a mid pass or a long pass.
However, Hawke firmly remembers Lu Yiqi's pre-match tactical arrangement: exerting pressure with all his strength, speed and strength are the key, and the entire rhythm must be improved.
Although Hawke was unable to accurately judge Kitner's movements, he was ready to kick the ground. With Kitner's kick-off command, he immediately stepped up and put pressure on his feet at full speed.
Dingdeng!
Hawke rushed forward with all his might like a bullet, and the reaction force of the strong pushing ground was constantly pushing his body. From the perspective of his eyes, you could see wide receiver Shaun-ald sliding past him like a glimpse of it, which made Hawke's attention slightly distracted.
But he was not distracted.
The steps were slightly adjusted, "Does MacDonald need to be blocked?" and "Will MacDonald become a pass target" flashed through his mind, and the subtle hesitation caused a subtle pause in the body's reflexes; but then Hawk suppressed all the messy thoughts and extended the forward momentum.
in spite of!
"Focus on the quarterbacks" is Lu Yiqi's pre-game deployment and Robert's on-site tactical command. Hawke did not forget this.
Dingdeng!
After the buffering ended, the steps were adjusted and continued to rush forward. Then you can see offensive tackle Jeff Backus take a big step horizontally and intercept the road he rushed forward.
However, Hawke was not panicked. He gently pointed his left foot and pulled his foot horizontally for half a step, forming a dislocation, and then rushed towards Bekus head-on.
"Bang!"
Chapter completed!
