Chapter 1336: Chapter 1335: Standoff on the Line of Scrimmage
Stumbling and intermittent, not only stuck but also fragnted, coupled with the soaring number of yellow flags, the entire rhythm of offense and defense completely slowed down.
The Kansas Chiefs Offense continues to push forward, however, they have faced a third gear twice in a row, barely managing to push past the midfield, and now it has reached the official two-minute pause of the first half.
Just now Vrabel attempted to control the tempo and consu ti through the Tennessee Titans offense group, but failed; unexpectedly, the defensive group accomplished the mission, with a secret weapon hidden at the bottom of the box causing the Kansas Chiefs’ renewed offensive pace in the second quarter to finally slow down.
At this mont, the situation in the first half gradually began to clarify——
Vrabel’s strategy is to entangle the Kansas Chiefs tightly, whether it’s a field goal or a touchdown, it doesn’t matter if the Kansas Chiefs ultimately score; as long as the Tennessee Titans consu enough ti, they can return to the locker room with a leading advantage and gain precious breathing space.
The most important thing is that the Kansas Chiefs’ full-force counterattack and montum in the second quarter will both slow down:
Strike while the iron is hot, followed by a decline, and then an exhaustion.
Waiting for the start of the second half, there will be a different situation.
Otherwise, once the second quarter is completely under the control of the Kansas Chiefs, the Tennessee Titans’ hope in the second half could be extinguished at Arrowhead Stadium.
Vrabel understands this, and the Tennessee Titans defense group also understands this.
Therefore, the defensive players are all igniting their inner strength, not only fully focused but also united in heart, assisting each other, regional defense is really creating a heavenly net, just as the Kansas Chiefs use crowd tactics to restrict Henry, the Tennessee Titans also use team force to lock down Li Wei and Mahos.
The key is, pushing forward can still push forward, but it’s just… frustrating.
Constantly interrupted, constantly suppressed, constantly in a passive position.
The Kansas Chiefs Offense excel in speed and rhythm; relatively, they are more vulnerable in set plays. In set plays, they rely more on Kelsey’s beacon role, otherwise they can only rely on the running cooperation between Mahos and Li Wei, breaking through the front head-on is relatively weaker.
Of course, it’s not absolute, just relative.
Because of this, Vrabel seized this relatively weak link and formulated tactics, coincidentally, Kelsey’s competitive state tonight is ordinary, allowing Tennessee Titans’ secret weapon to shine brightly in the second quarter, showcasing this young coach’s wisdom and ability to turn decay into magic.
Then, yet again, third gear three yards.
After coming back from the official two-minute tiout, Kelsey completes the catch but encounters triple team, unfortunately failing to continue forward, causing the Kansas Chiefs to face the third gear for the third ti consecutively, the fight between you and is entering a fever pitch, the consumption on both offense and defense is multiplying rapidly.
However, there is no breathing space, the third gear must start imdiately, now the Kansas Chiefs are racing against ti too, hoping to continue the strong stance of the second quarter, to reverse disadvantage and regain control of the ga.
Lineman Woodyard notices a detail:
Mahos glances towards Hill, no dialogue, just eye communication.
A breathless, sweaty Hill takes a deep breath, gently nods in response.
What does this imply?
Are the Kansas Chiefs preparing for a long pass sneak attack?
This isn’t surprising, one could even say it’s the Kansas Chiefs’ specialty, in tis of crisis, relying on tactical arrangents, Mahos sneaks a long pass, Li Wei, Hill, Hardman, even Watkins can play key roles to help the Kansas Chiefs break through confines and reverse the situation in one move.
So, this ti the Kansas Chiefs are preparing “Cheating Motion” to cover the long pass, or is it preparing a fake run real pass, otherwise Mahos’ read option offense?
Despite noticing the detail, Woodyard doesn’t act rashly, they won’t disrupt their own arrangent, they must adhere to the pressure of regional defense; anyway, Vrabel has kept a trick, leaving a safety to guard the backfield, solo against Hill. If they move rashly due to Kansas Chiefs’ motions, a little carelessness could lead them into their trap.
Woodyard won’t forget, the turning point of the second quarter’s match was Kansas Chiefs’ classic trap, a surface tactic, the internal with another tactic, even “Cheating Motion” is used as a deceptive smoke bomb.
Taking a deep breath, Woodyard controls himself.
Then, focus extrely concentrated——
If Kansas Chiefs make a move, it could an the next mont is crucial.
Mahos seemingly completely unaware of his own every move, proceeding systematically, tactical layout completed, turning and lining up, ready for offense.
Standing in the pocket, Mahos takes a deep breath, regains calm, observes the defensive group standings.
Resulting in no harvest.
The Tennessee Titans still remain in their original position, as tis progress, the defense group’s ability to conceal tactics is gradually catching up with developnt, just simply using “Motion” makes it difficult to interpret defensive group tactical intentions, hence when “Cheating Motion” erged this season, it caused waves.
But in a short season, defensive coaches have already caught up.
Though right now it’s still not entirely deciphered “Cheating Motion,” defensive groups are no longer rely tied up and passively beaten, they’re brewing resistances, even counterattacks.
Vrabel’s defensive strategy in the divisional ga should provide the league plenty of enlightennt, next season, “Cheating Motion” might not be as accordant as it is now.
Mahos’ gaze quickly scans through, passing the defensive line, linen, purposely lingering a mont at the left-wing cornerback and safety position:
Truth and falsehood, reality and illusion, mutual calculation and mutual pitfall, seeing whoever’s on-field reaction can outdo one another.
At the next second, Hill moved.
Again “Cheating Motion”! This ti, not Li Wei, but Hill.
But Mahos doesn’t leave any breathing space, almost with peripheral vision catching Hill starting the next instant, decisively announces the snap.
“Attack!”
In an instant, wind and cloud changed.
At this mont, Mahos stands up straight, straighten his waist, looking towards the left side, searching for Hill, preparing to complete a quick short pass connection.
Woooosh, soone is sprinting.
Boom, boom boom boom, soone is pressuring.
Step step, step step, soone is positioning.
Dazzled, overwhelming.
However, amidst chaos, no one noticed.
Li Wei’s footwork is light and agile, like a ghost, silently appearing beside Mahos, gently drawing from Mahos’ hidden right hand, securing the football into his arms.
With a slip of the foot, uninterrupted, he moves laterally, gliding away.
Everything, almost happens simultaneously.
As Li Wei pulls away, Mahos lifts his right hand making a throwing motion towards Hill, the realistic move even includes the powered wrist flick detail, in the blink of an eye, defensive players don’t have ti to carefully distinguish, instinctively rushing forward.
While sprinting and observing, only realizing sothing doesn’t feel right after the center of gravity has rushed forward——
Wait, where is the football?
In the air, there is no reddish-brown parabola.
