Pen Fun Club EbookFREE.me, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the King of the Bay Area!
The long-weaked Tennessee Titans have been refreshed this season, starting the season journey with three wins and one loss, temporarily tied with the Indianapolis Colts for the first division, and the dark horse's posture is really bright.
The third-year quarterback Jack Locke's performance is far from top, but the victory is stable. Four games have scored four touchdowns, but there was no interception and no drops. In other words, the error control rate is very high. Excellent; at the same time, the pass and the running are relatively balanced, relying on the ground attack to open the situation, so that the Titans have entered a long-lost victory track.
Then the "Beard Curse" was fulfilled again-Locke suffered a muscle strain and replaced quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick as the starting quarterback.
Objectively speaking, Fitzpatrick has been able to serve as a backup quarterback for multiple teams. He still has two brushes, and his passing ability and judgment ability have reached the average level of the league; his biggest problem begins to be stable. There was a peak performance of four touchdowns in the previous game, and in the next game somehow, four consecutive interceptions were thrown.
After taking over the starting quarterback position, Fitzpatrick led the Titans against the Kansas Chiefs and the Seattle Seahawks, and the Beard had bad luck. Both teams ushered in a full-blown outbreak this season-Seahawks It goes without saying that after the Chiefs experienced the nightmare season last year and became the deputy squad leader, they rebounded strongly this season. Under the leadership of quarterback Alex Smith, they still maintain the season unbeaten and lead the United States.
Standing in front of the full-powered Kansas Chiefs and the solid Seattle Seahawks, the Tennessee Titans led by the Beard continued to suffer fierce devastation and ushered in two consecutive defeats. The playoff hopes that made the team rekindled after four years have immediately become uncertain.
It is against this background that the Tennessee Titans are about to host the San Francisco 49ers at home.
At this moment, the Titans inevitably reminds of 49 people two weeks ago-also in the case of injury to the main quarterback, suffered a losing streak, and then need to face a team that is adjusting to a state that is in desperate need of victory. , Hoping to continue the hope of the playoffs. But the situation for the Titans is more difficult, because it is still unknown whether Jack Locke can return to the game.
According to the diagnosis of the attending doctor, Locke needs a truce for three weeks, that is, the return of the eighth week of the regular season. Now he faces the San Francisco 49ers and returns early. This does not seem to be a wise choice.
In this regard, the Titans have always maintained a cautious attitude. In the preparation stage, the starting quarterback has always been Fitzpatrick. ESPN analysts and analysts believe that the second confrontation of "Lu Ke vs. Beard" is coming soon. Based on this analysis of the game, the general view is that the Titans can hardly stop the 49 people whose status is continuing to rise, and the win rate should not be large.
But the day before the game day, that is, Saturday, Ian Raboport reported on Twitter: Locke ’s injury recovery was far beyond expectations, with the permission of the doctor, and showed in training In a decent state, after careful consideration, the coaching staff decided that Rock would appear.
So, the same rookie matchup of "Lu Ke VS Locke" is about to be staged!
At the 2011 draft, Lu Ke and Locke did n’t have much intersection, just nodded. At that time, Locke was a high-profile potential rookie, and was even considered to be a threat to Cam Newton ’s top pick. Especially when the negative news during the Newton University broke out, Locke's market is rising.
At the end of the round, Newton became the No. 1 pick, and Locke was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the eighth round of the first round. He was the second quarterback to be selected that year.
In the past two years, both Rock and Lu Ke have established a solid foothold in the league, but the career curve is very different. Lu Ke has reached the top of the Super Bowl, and Locke is still working hard for the first playoff journey of his career. Now the two rookies of the same period are confronting each other, which is naturally not as good as the previous Watt, but it has attracted a lot of attention, especially Locke's game is also coming back, and has too many similarities with Lu Ke's current situation. Fans and audiences couldn't help but wonder what kind of performance Locke could deliver.
In fact, the progress of the game was a little bit surprising!
Originally, Locke was not a wide-open quarterback, stable and steady, reasonable distribution, loyal to the coach, and more a relatively stable system quarterback. His performance was naturally unable to control the entire court like Lu Ke. The point guards are on a par, style and genre are very different, the overall game scene and progress can be expected in advance.
After the game really started, Locke, who had come back from injury, showed an extremely powerful victory / desire / desire, and the Tennessee Titan ’s offense also unexpectedly began to occupy the banner of the offensive pass. Killed 49 people in San Francisco by surprise.
Locke showed that he was able to compete with Cam Newton's top pick in that year-as a traditional pocket quarterback, he has the strong physical fitness and flexible pockets to wait for the ball to run, although Long pass ability is slightly inferior, but many scouts believe that he can become Aron Rogers' quarterback.
Passing and running again, Locke was extremely active throughout the game, and even the number of advances on the ground attack was enough to match his running back Chris Johnson-this is what broke the 40-yard sprint record in 2008 A running back.
By the way, an anecdote. When Chris Johnson was in the rookie training camp, he was widely known for breaking the forty yard sprint record, and he became the focus of attention in the moment, but the result was under great pressure. Von Derrick tested abnormally, out of five. Ten cents only took ten cents; later, the specific insider was unreliable, but he re-examined for the second time, replacing different exam papers, and the score of 21 was obviously normal.
Returning to Locke, from passing to running, he became the hub of the entire offensive group, so the style of the game covered by the audience is almost unrecognizable; but there must be losses, and his pass success rate Both the turnover rate and the turnover rate have risen relatively. The first interception of the season and the first goal drop occurred, which led to two ball rights conversions.
Overall, Locke's performance is good.
25 of 41 passes, 326 yards, two touchdowns, one interception, two encounters with sacks, 33 yards ground advance, quarterback score 92.1, PFF score 1.2.
This is the best performance of Locke's personal season!
Thanks to Locke ’s excellent performance, the game scene once entered a confrontation, which made the audience who lowered the expectations in front of the TV hooked up and had to applaud the bold adventures of Tennessee Titan and Locke, regardless of the result of the game. Definitely courageous.
But in the past two seasons, the San Francisco 49ers have never been afraid of any opponent, even the New Orleans Saints led by Drew Brees, even the Green Bay Pack led by Aron Rogers. Gong, the offensive team led by Lu Ke has never shy away, and now it is the same with the Tennessee Titans.
If the performance of Locke's comeback is impressive, then Lu Ke's overall performance is amazing.
29 of 36 passes, 378 yards, three touchdowns, no interception, two encounters with sacks, 18 yards ground advance, quarterback score 140.7, PFF score 1.9.
Since the comeback, he has scored three or more touchdowns in three consecutive games, and this game also created the first time in Lu Ke's career-the success rate of the first pass exceeded 80%, reaching 80.56%; Although the number of passing yards did not break through four hundred yards, it can be seen from the side that Lu Ke sent out firepower through a powerful short transmission to revive the entire offensive.
Compared to Locke shining alone, the entire San Francisco 49ers team has its own shining moment.
The defensive team made two ball rights conversions again. Although they were not able to make four or more ball rights conversions in three consecutive games, the strong and stable firepower output still allowed people to see the strength of the defensive group. Alton Smith ’s The absence brought a lot of uncertainties, and the overall performance of the defensive group did show significant ups and downs, but they still bit the game tightly.
The offensive group achieved an excellent state of passing and running balance for the third consecutive week. The two running backs once again performed excellently. The number of yard advances exceeded 80 yards, and Marcus and Gore also completed a run. After the ball touchdown, after the passing attack, the ground attack gradually found a feeling.
In addition, the Secret Service team also performed well. The 2003 rookie wide receiver Kassim-Osgood (Kassim-Osgood), who had just joined the team this season, was approaching the end of the third quarter. Successfully completed an abandoned kick back attack touchdown, directly pushed the Tennessee Titans who tried to bite the score into the bottomless abyss, and once again widened the score gap.
Compared with the team that suffered a three-game losing streak before, the mental appearance and game status of the San Francisco 49ers have now undergone reincarnation changes, and finally demonstrated their defense in the influence of many negative factors of turmoil and unrest. The champion's strong posture has also led to subtle changes in the league pattern.
Facing the San Francisco 49ers in this state, the exhausted Tennessee Titan still could not find too many opportunities, just just attacked a game, and then the gap was widened, the bigger, the longer No hope of shrinking. Compared to the Arizona Cardinals last week, it doesn't seem to get much better.
Courage is commendable, but still unable to return to heaven.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the match, "17:42", the San Francisco 49ers easily defeated the Tennessee Titan with a huge score gap, retreated from the away body, and gave the home team three mercilessly defeat.
After a three-game losing streak, a strong three-game winning streak!
