In the first game of the preseason, Lu Ke came to New Orleans again, so it felt quite wonderful.
In the rookie training camp, he almost thought that he might join the New Orleans Saints, follow the footsteps of Drew Brees and learn the skills of the quarterback; but, at the end of the peak turn, he joined the San Francisco 49ers, He then played against the Saints in the first official game of his career.
Although, he is just a substitute, sitting on the bench and watching; although, this is just a preseason game, the purpose of both sides of the game is not above victory, but to blend in tactics and team lineup; but, Such a coincidence made Lu Ke feel quite wonderful.
Especially on the first night when he arrived in New Orleans, about to leave the training base, Lu Ke unexpectedly met Joe Lombardi. Qiao actually remembered Lu Ke and said hello, the two chatted for a while. This makes fate more interesting.
It's a pity that Lu Ke didn't start the game. After all, this "fateful" duel failed to form a real circle.
The arrangement of the preseason is strategic. Generally speaking, in the four preseason games, the first two games are the process of testing tactics and grinding cooperation. The main quarterback may play one or a half games to find a feel, Warm up; for the rest of the game, two or three substitute quarterbacks will take turns.
On the one hand, there are also competitions between the backup quarterbacks. The second quarterback and third quarterback, these positions are particular, the preseason is their best performance stage; on the other hand, The offensive team tactics are practiced, as well as the absolute main force, the secondary main force and the first substitute player. They also take turns to try different combinations.
The third and fourth games are relatively more important. The main quarterback is likely to play half of the game, and other main players may even play the whole game, really check the state and ability of the season.
However, the situation of 49 people in San Francisco this year is somewhat special.
Half of the teams are brand new, all the players are just running into a training camp, the main quarterback is a freshman, even the coaching staff is completely new inside and out, all tactics, all cooperation, All combinations must start from scratch.
Especially the coaching style. Jim Hubble is a unique, sharp and sharp coach. After taking charge of 49 people, he needs to find an effective way to lead the team to victory.
Therefore, the preseason has become the most important training ground. Completely in accordance with Jim's style.
For Lu Ke, that means he has to sit on the bench and watch the game; the whole team revolves around Colin Kapnik as the core, and it is not only polishing tactics, but also giving Colin opportunities , Let the rookie quarterback grow up quickly.
In the first game of the preseason, Lu Ke played only six offenses in the middle of the fourth quarter. The reason is that in order to give Colin and Kip the time to communicate, Lu Ke then completed his work, and Colin once again put on the battle.
In the end, the San Francisco 49ers lost to the New Orleans Saints with a huge difference of "3:24".
Colin Kapnik ’s performance was a disaster. Eighteen pass attempts were only successful seven times, and the success rate was even less than 50%. He only advanced forty-one yards; running offense performance Relatively better, he scored thirty-eight yards for his own rushing; two other interceptions.
In the whole game, the San Francisco 49ers had little chance, and the offensive and defensive ends were completely suppressed.
But for Lu Ke, the gain is not just the playing time of the six-gear offense. This game has become the best carrier for him to observe the actual combat and perform tactics.
It was only the third day of entering the team, and the tactical manual was only turned over two-thirds-just to read, not to understand, let alone to understand and apply. Lu Ke must make full use of all his time and adapt to the work of the professional quarterback as soon as possible. The tactical manual will be the most basic and important first step.
So, Lu Ke sat on the bench and began to observe every attack, not only the 49ers, but also the saints, and then combined with the tactical manual to understand and apply. Some tactics are not understood, so he will record the game time of this offense, after going back, watch the game video, and then analyze it further.
Not only that, when Kip and Jim discussed the offensive tactics, Lu Ke also actively stood behind and listened to each other, then watched the actual tactical use of the team, and truly overthrew the whole game from the perspective of professional players. Review tactics, rearrange tactics, and reinterpret tactics.
The game started to become interesting.
When the whistle at the end of the game sounded, Lu Ke did n’t notice the scoreboard number or Colin ’s performance, but he played back the whole game in his mind and could n’t wait to go back and read the tactical manual. To start learning and revisiting.
Why might a rookie quarterback stand on the court and may be at a loss? Why can rookie players be full of loopholes in tactical execution? Why does everyone say that the NFL's tactics have exploded NCAA? Why do teams tend to leave more time for rookie players in the rookie season?
After really entering the preseason game, and really watching the game as a substitute player, Lu Ke finally got a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg.
More than 20,000 tactics, it is like chess or Go. Thousands of tactics are arranged and combined. Game becomes an art; but rugby goes one step further. Spiritual game and physical confrontation only work simultaneously. At the same time, he mobilized and led his army to win the game.
Before the official kick-off, the quarterback task can be divided into three simple parts during the tactical layout.
In the first part, command the offensive line, read the formation of the defensive group, predict the trend of the defensive group, and then arrange the offensive line in a targeted manner. For traditional pocket quarterbacks, this is their must-have skill, because the offensive forward is the barrier of pocket protection, and they need more observation time and pass time.
Passing masters like Payton Manning and Drew Brees can often switch / change tactics to tune / teach an outstanding offensive line and provide more protection for themselves. As for those ordinary quarterbacks, they can only pray for Dover, hoping that the team can piece together a top offensive line.
In the second part, commanding catchers, including wide receivers, near-fielders and running backs, with different tactical combinations, the players' running routes are different. Goal routes, flagpole routes, sidelines, mid-gap, cross running, all of these running routes have a rich mix of combinations.
Simple example, goal line. During the start of the wide receiver, he rushed ten yards earlier, then cut inward toward the goal, ran inside the area corresponding to the goal frame, waiting for the ball to be received. This is only the most basic route. The specific execution can also be divided into short pass, mid pass and long pass, as well as other players' collocation screens, as well as mutual shifting and so on.
The third part is to coordinate the tactical distribution of the offensive line and the catcher. Players are assigned different tasks in different tactics. The quarterback needs to have a clear understanding of the entire offensive system, and then make correct and appropriate arrangements.
Sometimes, every running route and every defensive route of each player is fixedly arranged, one radish and one pit. The quarterback and other offensive players only need to follow the plan, execute, pass and receive Ball, this is enough, this is called the system quarterback, relying on the entire offensive system to profit, the real credit is the coaching staff.
But sometimes, the stadium changes rapidly, and the receiving players run along the route and then play freely; the offensive line makes corresponding changes based on the interpretation of the defense; at the same time, the quarterback must also adjust accordingly, change tactics, and make temporary choices The passing route has evolved the coaching team's tactics into the quarterback's own, and further differentiated countless possibilities.
There are systematic quarterbacks, and naturally there are also systematic players.
Some coaches like system players because their control of tactical arrangements has been reached. System players are like chess pieces in their hands and can accurately achieve their goals; some coaches do not like system players because of the The changes are too fast and too complicated. They are helpless on the sidelines. After all, the players still need to complete the game.
In the 2005 draft, scouts thought Aron Rogers was the system quarterback, which directly led to a decline in the draft picks; but later facts proved that scouts looked away.
However, whether it is a system player or not, the importance of the tactical manual is self-evident. Every link and every detail is closely related to tactics. More than 20,000 kinds of tactics are definitely not just talking. This is just the tactics before the kick-off. After really investing in the game, that is another story.
Compared with the NCAA, the NFL game is very different in grade and level, not to mention the intensity of the confrontation, the intensity of the game and the pace of the game.
For rookie players, entering the professional league is like suddenly entering the entire library from a small room. The information in front of them is not only huge, but also complicated, completely overwhelming, not to mention the quarterback, and every other position. So, if the offensive striker or catcher understands the wrong tactics, the result is self-evident.
This is true even for other players, not to mention the quarterback responsible for tactical arrangements?
In the football game, the quarterback is the only player in the offensive group that communicates directly with the coaching staff. The coach's tactical arrangement and defensive interpretation are all summed up here at the quarterback. If the quarterback doesn't have a thorough understanding of tactics, or even a mess, then this is catastrophic for the team.
Even though Lu Ke has been mentally prepared, even if Lu Ke has devoted all his attention, but standing in front of the huge tactical library, he still feels his insignificance.
