In America, the winner takes all.

Chapter 284 Tactics

"Running back Emmitt Smith threw the ball! Oh my God, this is the first time I've ever seen Emmitt pass the ball!"

"Quarterback Ethan O'Connor received the ball, and we saw the figure with No. 11 on his back quickly rushing towards the front line! The Broncos' defensive line did not react effectively at all. Dallas' tactics deceived the Broncos almost All the players!" commentator John Madden exclaimed.

In the playing field, Ethan continued to break through with the ball and had already crossed the line of scrimmage. The next second, Ethan saw the outflanking cornerback and the linebacker on his side approaching him quickly.

Unfortunately, no one can catch up with Ethan in this position.

Ethan exerted force with his legs, changed directions twice in a row, and then quickly broke through from the left side of the cornerback. The cornerback reacted and tried to get closer to Ethan, but Ethan suddenly accelerated and threw him away. In the end, he could only watch helplessly. Ethan crossed the ten-yard line and got the first down.

But Ethan's footsteps have not stopped yet. He is like a stretched cheetah. In the face of absolute speed, no one can stop him.

Within a few seconds, Ethan had reached the midfield position. Facing two safety guards, Ethan raised his hand to block, and actually knocked the safety guard away... The safety guard only felt a huge force. When the force hit, the whole person began to retreat involuntarily.

If it weren't for another safety guard who swooped down at the last moment and hugged Ethan's waist, Ethan might have taken the ball directly to the deeper end of the Broncos. But even now, it successfully pushed the line into the Broncos' half.

"A full 35 yards of rushing! This scene may make the local Alabama audience quite emotional. This scene undoubtedly proves Ethan's return." John Madden couldn't help but say.

In addition to Alabama fans, Dallas Cowboys fans also realize that Eason is as fast as Emmitt Smith on the team.

"This kid is too fast!"

"Did you see what he did when he pushed someone away? Emmett couldn't do that."

"What's rare about Ethan is that he's a quarterback who tends to be able to perform more functions than just the position."

In Texas, many Cowboys spectators saw this scene and felt how precious Ethan was.

Is it expensive for the Cowboys to pay top dollar to keep this quarterback?

It's not expensive at all, it can even be described as cheap.

Many fans could not feel Jerry Jones' intention to introduce Ethan until this moment...

On the court, Ethan high-fived his teammates.

"The Broncos were completely blindsided! They obviously didn't expect us to prepare this kind of tactic." Billy gave Ethan a big hug.

"Dave Campo gave the Broncos a big problem." Emmitt Smith also came over at this time.

The focus of Dave Campo's transformation of the team is to change the tactical system and increase the proportion of running the ball. Within the team, Ethan and Emmett share the running ball rights equally.

You must know that the two running styles are completely different. Players who are good at guarding Emmitt may not be good at guarding Ethan, and vice versa.

This would completely throw off the Broncos' preparation.

Thinking of this, Emmett couldn't help but look to the other side of the field, the Broncos' bench area. He saw Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan having intensive exchanges with his players and defensive coordinator.

It can be seen that the Broncos want to find a strategy to deal with it in a short period of time.

However, Dallas will not give the Broncos any time to prepare.

Emmett immediately turned his head and asked his teammates, including Ethan, to quickly line up. He was ready to take advantage of this opportunity to score a touchdown in one go.

The new round of offense started almost the same, but the difference was that Ethan passed the ball to Emmitt Smith. Sure enough, the Broncos showed discomfort. Emmitt relied on a completely different dexterity from Ethan to move like a pass. The butterfly bypassed the defender, allowing the Dallas Cowboys to gain another 15 yards.

At this time, there were only 35 yards left in the Broncos' zone.

The Broncos were not given enough time to react. The Dallas Cowboys did not even conduct a meeting and completed the formation again within fifteen seconds.

"I can clearly feel the speed of the Dallas Cowboys. Although it is only the first quarter of the game, for Dallas, it is like the last two minutes before the end of the game. They have to race against time to get a touchdown—— Get the win!" John Maddon has realized what the Cowboys are preparing to do.

"I wonder if the Broncos' defensive team can come up with the appropriate response strategy?" John Maddon whispered.

In fact, he was overly optimistic about the situation of the Broncos' defense. The new round of offense followed almost the same route, but the Broncos had nothing to do with the Dallas Cowboys' running ball option tactic.

Relying on Ethan's wonderful pass, the Dallas Cowboys once again gained 17 yards, and at this time they were close enough to the Broncos' zone.

It was only then that the Broncos made changes in a hurry, replacing a defensive lineman, adding a linebacker, changing the defensive position, and began to compress toward the forward. These changes were all in order to be able to push the Cowboys' Defend the run ball.

As a result, Ethan made a different move and didn't even think about running the ball. As soon as he got the ball, he threw it directly into the zone.

Michael Irving, who had already rushed into the far corner of the zone, jumped high at this time and firmly picked up the ball. As his feet landed firmly in the zone, the Dallas Cowboys won the game. ’s first touchdown.

Ethan raised his arms, and the result turned out to be much smoother than he expected. As the champions of the last Super Bowl, the Broncos did not make enough response, allowing Dallas to successfully score a touchdown within a few minutes.

Of course, now is not the time to be careless... When Ethan walked to the sidelines, he looked at where the Broncos players were.

The other party was still engaged in tense discussions.

"I have to admit that I misjudged Ethan's ability to run the ball, which put the defense in a passive position." Broncos defensive coordinator Greg Robinson seemed very upset at the moment.

The Broncos still followed the defensive strategy they used against the Cowboys last season. The defensive team underestimated Eason. In other words, Eason did not deliberately show off his strong ball-running talent in his limited playing opportunities, which misled the Broncos tactically. Team.

"Now is not the time to regret, what we need to do is to find a solution." The Broncos' head coach became increasingly anxious when he saw the Cowboys' kicker easily completing the shot.

"Why look for a solution, or why look for a solution from the defense?"

At this time, a voice came from beside the two coaches.

It was John Elway who was wearing jersey No. 7. He was seen walking up to the two men carrying his helmet.

As a veteran quarterback who has been playing in the NFL for nearly 20 years, the years have left clear ripples on his face, and those wrinkles, whether subtle or deep, contain the joy he once left on the field. and pain.

There was a time when John Elway was considered a typical "uncrowned king". He led the team to the Super Bowl for two consecutive years, but in the end he lost both times.

Perhaps, being the runner-up is more heartbreaking than finishing last.

However, John Elway did not completely admit defeat. He used amazing willpower to constantly try to refresh his limits. New quarterbacks join the NFL every year, but he always stands at the top of professional football. Finally, he had another chance, and this time, he seized it.

So he became the latest Super Bowl champion, proving to everyone that although he is "old", he is still the best quarterback.

And as John Elway said these key words, the two coaches seemed to realize something...

"Don't forget how we beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round of last year's playoffs," John Elway suddenly said.

In last year's game, the Broncos were once in a huge passive position. The Pittsburgh Steelers relied on continuous rapid attacks to penetrate the Broncos' defense. The Broncos' defense at that time was much more embarrassed than it is at this moment.

But in the end, the Broncos won that game and ultimately won the Super Bowl.

Just because... John Elway came up with a whole new idea to defeat his opponent while trailing midway through the game.

"Then do this." Bill Call nodded, and there was no good solution at the moment.

That tactic was originally intended to be used against more powerful opponents in later rounds.

Unexpectedly, the Dallas Cowboys' rookie quarterback created a huge obstacle for themselves, and they could only use this secret weapon in advance.

John Elway nodded and came to the side urgently, calling all his colleagues on the offensive team to him.

"The defense may be able to handle an Emmett running the ball, but if you add one who is not weaker than Emmett, there is no way to handle it. The outcome of this game is now all dependent on us." John Elway He looked at his teammates and said.

·

"Go on Ethan!"

Ethan didn't look back, he directly raised his hand and took the drink handed over by his teammate.

Sure enough, it’s still Gatorade.

This sports drink has been working closely with the NFL.

Ethan opened the plastic soft cover, took off the helmet and held it in Lin's hand, then opened his mouth and squeezed the bottle with his hand.

A bit of orange-flavored sourness and sweetness filled his mouth, and Ethan saw that the Broncos' offensive team had begun to line up.

Led by John Elway, when it comes to the depth of offensive players, the Broncos' gold content is actually slightly weaker than that of the Dallas Cowboys. After all, several of the main players of this Cowboys' offensive team have won the Super Bowl more than once.

Of course, past results don't reflect the present, and the Cowboys have been plagued by injuries.

"If the Broncos don't score in the first quarter, we will completely take the initiative in the game. If we kick two consecutive free kicks and both goals are successful, then it will be a balance." Ethan I heard Daryl Johnston say next to me.

"Balance? Maybe we will win this game." Wide receiver Billy Davis was more optimistic.

As he spoke, Billy Davis looked at a black cheerleader on the Broncos. Billy Davis himself is black, but these white people are not interested, except for the black girl.

Each team has a rule that players cannot fall in love with cheerleaders from the same club, but there is no rule that players cannot fall in love with cheerleaders from other clubs.

"Ethan, would you like to find a chance to ask out some Broncos cheerleaders? They are very easy to ask out." Billy said in a small voice.

As for Ethan, he was paying close attention to the situation on the field at the moment and didn't hear what Billy Davis was saying at all.

Only the Broncos quarterback John Elway was seen passing the ball quickly. As Ethan had seen in the game video before, John Elway's passing route was very conservative. After getting the ball, the slot receiver There was no good breakthrough opportunity, and he only gained 4 yards.

But the Broncos, just like Dallas just now, did not conduct any discussions at all and threw themselves into the next round of offense almost without hesitation.

This time John Elway did not find any good passing opportunities, so he handed the ball directly to the running back behind him. The latter tried to break through the middle and crossed the line of scrimmage when he was brought down by a Cowboys player. Two yards.

Then came the third gear... The Broncos made a passing error, but this did not make the Broncos hesitate. John Elway once again asked the offensive team to quickly form a formation through a simple command. In the fourth gear, relying on the pass The tight end got the first offense without any danger.

Ethan's originally expressionless face suddenly showed seriousness.

He immediately looked at the scoreboard. There were still 10 minutes and 30 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.

At this glance, the Broncos once again made a sudden move. The quarterback and the far-end receiver connected, allowing the formation to advance eighteen yards.

Then, the Broncos continued to attack quickly... once, twice, and three times, getting closer and closer to the Cowboys' end zone.

Ethan first glanced at the running back and captain Emmitt Smith, who was chatting with his teammates. Although he was also closely observing the situation on the field, he did not appear to be very serious and was not aware of the Broncos. potential threats.

Then Ethan looked at coach Dave Campo on the other side, who was also communicating with the offensive coach.

Maybe no one at the Dallas Cowboys realizes what's wrong.

Then Ethan looked at the team's current No. 17 quarterback, Jason Garrett, who was wearing jersey No. .

There was only a trace of hesitation on his face, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to realize something.

Then Ethan turned his attention back to the playing field. The Broncos' offense looked like "thousands of horses galloping" at a very fast speed. At this time, they had launched their second scoring attack.

John Elway used a wonderful pass to successfully find the receivers inside and outside the team and complete the touchdown.

And the time it took was only half that of the Cowboys.

This reminded Ethan of the scenes he had seen a week ago.

"The Broncos are using The Drive." Ethan read the opponent's tactical intention and immediately said to the people around him.

As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Billy Davis, Emmitt Smith, Michael Owen, and head coach Doc Campo, looked at Ethan.

"They want to use higher offensive efficiency to overtake the score." Ethan looked at his teammates and revealed the fundamental purpose of the opponent's actions.
