Chapter 119 Three Versions
For slowing the pass rhythm from the rear and disrupting the tactical arrangement of the enemy's defensive team, the dislocation of the quarterback and the receiver is quite effective. A defensive team that has never seen this tactic would never expect to play like this.

After Bill Ferrari put forward this idea, Coach Paul felt that the transposition was very practical, so he initially held a tactical meeting to discuss the matter, and evolved several different versions according to the specific tactical route.

Version [-] is of course that the quarterback and the receiver on the strong side switch positions. The receiver receives the ball and passes the ball to the quarterback within ten to twenty yards to the right, followed by a normal pass attack. It's just that the quarterback isn't in the pocket, so members of the opposing defense don't have to worry about the quarterback taking an illegal route.

The advantage of this is that it adds a tactical action to delay time, and it reduces the psychological pressure of quarterback Carter, making the pass more accurate.

But the disadvantage is that the quarterback may be deliberately injured by the enemy at the risk of violating the rules, because before the enemy defense team members can only squeeze through the pocket five to sack the quarterback, after the switch, there is no such trouble .

And the cross pass greatly increased the uncertainties on the court.

So the second version appeared smoothly. A lightweight running back stood at the quarterback position, and after receiving the serve, he ran horizontally to Carter who changed positions, and the quarterback performed the passing action.Or the running back directly advances with the ball, can rush directly across the front line, or go around from both sides.

"Although the second tactic eliminates the risk of crossing, it always feels like there is something more."

In the large conference room, coach Paul pointed to the various offensive lines drawn on the whiteboard and said.

At this time, nearly a hundred players and coaching staff gathered around a long table, and in front of them was a whiteboard full of tactical lines, including tight end TE, wide receiver WR, fullback FB, running back RB, quarterback The running route and passing route of the QB constitute the line of the tactical map. The pocket fives such as the center and some members of the defensive team contribute to the points on the tactical map. Since the offensive tactics are discussed, the defensive route of the defensive group is simply drawn A few strokes, no in-depth discussion.

"I understand what you mean, just take off your pants and fart, there is no need for the running back to run to the quarterback with the ball." Bill said exactly what the coach wanted to express.

In each attack, only one forward pass is allowed, and the player who initiates the forward pass action must be behind the offensive and defensive line.

That is, even if the running back gets the ball from the quarterback and then runs across the line and into enemy territory, he can't use the forward pass to generate more yardage.

There is no limit on the number of times of cross and back pass, and no territory limit.However, except for the stretch formation and the far-end defense formation mentioned above, the other formations rarely use left and right or backward passes. Not to mention wasting time, the risk is still high.

"Actually, the first tactic is not bad. We can practice a few times in actual combat in the next few days to see the effect of the attack."

Offensive coordinator Hyman Hawk proposed.

The pocket five can hold the line after the kickoff, and there's not much ability for the opponent to threaten the catch in offensive territory when a cross occurs.Although it may be targeted by opponents, the initial stage of the [-] season should have a miraculous effect.

"Don't worry, we still have a third tactic. The first tactic is too memory-intensive, and it won't work after a few times. Then we use the rest of the evolutionary formation to deal with it. Bill's idea can solve Carter's problem , It’s always right to use it a few times.”

The third tactic mentioned by Coach Paul is more insidious and cunning. After the opponents think that the wide receiver or running back behind the center has chosen version [-] or version [-] of play, the wide receiver directly becomes a quarterback and passes the ball forward. A tight end or other wide receiver who reaches the target zone.

The three versions are progressive, and when Parker Ten's opponents study effective defensive formations, it is estimated that eight or nine of the twelve games in the [-] season will be played.And in a game, seven or eight formations are used, and the substitution formation is mixed with the normal formation, which can be used at least until the end of the [-] season.

"Bill's idea genius solved my shortcomings. As the captain, on behalf of the team, I thank him for his contribution to the improvement of the formation."

At the end of the tactical meeting, Carter made a summary.

Mr. Ferrari readily accepted.

When the players and the coaching staff left the field one after another, Coach Paul stopped the No. 88 player who was about to leave.

"Actually, based on my many years of coaching experience, this formation will definitely make people who haven't seen it exclaim oh maiga. I'm looking forward to the reaction of the commentators and Parker ten coaches to see this tactic."

The members of the defensive team of the red and white team all participated in this tactical meeting, and the rehearsal in the next few days will have no unexpected effect, but the other nine teams of Parker Ten do not know how to change positions. The same is true for the three teams arranged.

"Winning is the key, formations are there for that."

What Bill thought was that the Red and White team's record in the [-] season would not stretch their hips, so that he would have the stadium data to compete for the three major awards.

The head coach patted No. 88 on the shoulder, "It's like this for you now. After halfway through this season, probably after our derby with the Golden Bears, I will write an article and publish it on those In the newspapers and periodicals that the coaches exchange, explain in detail the role you played in the transposition and the results you have achieved since the application of the transposition. Believe me, when the Maxwell Awards are selected, you can use this vote to directly lead the opponent by half .”

In fact, the Maxwell Award has a higher gold content than the other two awards, because many high-level coaches and former professional football players participated in the selection.On the other hand, the main voting force for the Heizmann Award is hundreds of sports journalists, so the external interference is much greater.

"That's really nice."

Paul's statement made Bill very excited. Among the six NCAAF "Guaranteed" leagues, most of the coaches of Parker Ten will vote for themselves, and many coaches in the Big Ten leagues that share the Rose Bowl with Parker Ten also vote for players from close leagues.Coupled with the fact that the coaches already pay attention to the innovation of the formation, Paul's behavior can attract a lot of college coach votes.

……

The next morning, the equipment and fitness area of ​​the rugby stadium.

Five 450-pound barbells on the left and right were pressed on Bill's shoulders. Fitness coach Frank hugged Bill behind him, supporting his chest and upper arms as player No. 88 descended slowly.

This is the initial training to strengthen the jumping ability. Using heavy squats to stimulate muscle strength and muscle hyperplasia helps to form stronger bones and ligaments, and also has a good effect in preventing physical injuries.

"Five, four, three, two, one, get up!"

After counting down the five numbers, the supporting teammate at the side yelled and asked No. 88 to squat up quickly.

After repeating such an action for three rounds, the training to really dig out the jumping ability begins.

Bill, whose heart was about to burst out, didn't even have time to wipe off his sweat, so he was pushed by Frank to perform five full-strength vertical jumps. During this period, several teammates kept shouting for cheer and getting up.

"Come on, Bill!" Frank clapped his hands and signaled No. 88 to perform kettlebell vertical jumps, also five times.

Bill squinted his eyes hard, took a long breath, took the kettlebell handed over by the fitness coach, and carried out this set of training exercises with both hands under his crotch.

Every vertical jump is against gravity, and the effect is very small, but with the addition of spring training and pre-match training, Mr. Ferrari's jumping ability is slowly improving.

"Come on! Hold on!" Frank pumped his fists to cheer the players on, until Bill started the last event, the elastic band to assist the vertical jump.

Pulling over the two red elastic bands tied to the top of the shelf, Bill first squatted to the bottom, and then jumped up. The elastic bands also took advantage of the situation to shorten, bringing upward pull to No. 88.

After five times, the entire jumping strengthening training was finally over.

"Great job!" Frank brought the white towel in front of Bill's eyes, "I can clearly feel that you are making rapid progress every time."

Mr. Ferrari took it over, wiped his sweat and summed up his training, "It's still not enough, I'm too heavy, far from a real wide receiver, the routine training is just to keep me in shape."

Because he wants to compete for the three major awards this season, Bill has gained weight rapidly since spring training, and his weight and body fat percentage are considered qualified so far.However, compared with wide receivers, the speed and jumping ability are far from enough. In order to reduce the injuries suffered during collisions, it is impossible to lose weight, and there is no way to speed up.The only thing that can be improved is jumping, so Bill took the time to do the above training items after actual combat exercises.

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket and ask for a monthly ticket.
