Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1009 Early Action Tactics
As soon as he appeared on the scene, Hardman noticed:
The air is slightly different.

Hardman couldn't explain what was going on.

This was the first official game of his professional career. Only after experiencing it did he realize that he still had a lot to learn and grow slowly.

Kelsey couldn't help but laugh when she saw this scene.

Kelsey patted Hardman on the back and said, "Don't worry, it's just a paper tiger."

Hardman's eyes widened, his face blank: Tiger? What tiger?

Kelsey smiled even more brightly.

The atmosphere changes, coming from the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Jacksonville Jaguars' strength has always been defense. League professionals generally believe that if the team can solve the offensive problems, its strength will undergo a complete transformation. This is also the reason why the team traded quarterback Bortles during the offseason this year and was ready to give it a try.

Just now, Fowles's wonderful performance gave the team a shot in the arm. This kind of offense was the first time for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Jacksonville Jaguars defense, which had been depressed by the overwhelming performance of the Kansas City Chiefs' offense, suddenly became energetic.

Fighting spirit burning.

Don't forget that two years ago in the AFC finals, the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Kansas City Chiefs were tied, and they were not afraid at all.

The Kansas City Chiefs are all too familiar with this situation, and Kelce is not worried at all.

Sure enough, after Mahomes finished arranging the tactics, Levi turned around, looked at Kelce and Hardman, exchanged a few words briefly, and then went back.

"I believe you." Before leaving, Levi looked at Hardman and said lightly but forcefully.

Hardman was so excited and delighted that he could no longer control himself.

Kelsey shook her head slightly: That rookie guy is fooling the young people again.

The Kansas City Chiefs lined up.

At this moment, one can clearly feel that the air is becoming increasingly tense.

It's not the formation or positioning of the Jacksonville Jaguars; there is no particular change in their positioning; it's their eyes and expressions; at this moment, one can clearly feel their concentration and burning morale; their entire competitive state is completely different, like a tiger descending from the mountain, being stimulated to their strongest state.

This is the most dangerous thing.

However, after two seasons of running-in, the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive group is now entering a mature period, including the offensive front line.

What is this scene? Just a sprinkle of water.

Relaxed but focused; comfortable but engaged. Concentratedly waiting for Mahomes's kickoff signal.

It's on the verge!
But at the critical moment, Mahomes stood up and changed the tactical commands.

"Move early!"

"Jacksonville Jaguars, number ninety-three..."

The tense atmosphere collapsed in an instant.

Jacksonville Jaguars No. 93, Campbell, lost control and turned around and swore a string of foul language, his emotions boiling in his chest.

The atmosphere was so tense that even a tiny spark could start a fire. My muscles were stretched to the limit and could get out of my control at any moment.

Campbell was like an arrow from a bow, ready to strike at any time, but Mahomes tricked him and made him move ahead of time.

It's like a false start in a race.

Yellow flag foul, five yard penalty.

Campbell was naturally dissatisfied because he lost five yards just after coming on the field.

But what was worse was that Campbell noticed that the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive players did not move at all and were in a stable state. He knew at a glance that this was a deceptive early-movement tactic planned by Mahomes. Campbell's rich game experience showed that he should not be fooled easily. This time, not only did they lose five yards, but the morale of the Jacksonville Jaguars was also hit.

This season, Mahomes has clearly matured, and he can even use the deceptive early-motion tactics with ease.

This is what really made Campbell angry.

But now there is no time to be upset or depressed. Campbell vented all the negative emotions by swearing. He immediately returned to his position and lined up to prepare for the game.

For a top quarterback as experienced as Manning, after deceiving the early move, what follows is often a quick kickoff and quick short pass tactics, disrupting the balance through rhythm control and leading the defense by the nose.

Campbell won't give Mahomes that opportunity.

Mahomes seemed to realize this as well. He was not in a hurry to kick off the ball, but waited for the lineup step by step and rearranged the tactics.

The formation did change from a pistol formation to a shotgun formation. Levi's position moved from the horizontal parallel point on the right side of Mahomes to behind the positions of Kelce and Hardman, and finally formed an inverted triangle position with the two wide receivers.

Then, wait patiently.

The posture and stance were clearly the opposite of what he was doing, as if he was preparing to deceive people into moving prematurely a second time.

The whole atmosphere instantly became tense again, and the Jacksonville Jaguars' defense fell into a state of complete tension but not daring to act rashly.

On the verge of suffocation.

Mahomes glanced at the clock at the end of the field.

Since there is an early-movement foul, there is also a delay-of-game foul. He doesn't want to lose the five yards he just gained because of his delay of the game.

Seeing that the timer was about to reach zero, Mahomes finally announced the kickoff.

"attack!"

At the first moment, there was a storm.

The Jacksonville Jaguars defense once again showed its deep foundation in pass rush pressure, using a six-man pass rush cover, which was actually a five-plus-one.

Five people rush the pass, and the sixth person guards Levi.

If Levi plays as the sixth offensive lineman, then the Jacksonville Jaguars will have six people rushing the pass; if Levi himself runs the ball or serves as a wide receiver, then the sixth man will guard Levi.

There was no way. Levi was too intimidating and the defensive team had to pay special attention to him.

This time, the sixth man is still Good.

However, Maruo judged that the shotgun formation should be a smoke bomb, and Levi was most likely to feint, and then retreat to consolidate the pocket and protect Mahomes.

Therefore, Good's first reaction was to step forward and remain alert. Here, the half-beat advance reaction was mainly to gain some advantage for Good.

however.

Ma Ruo overlooked a detail: Levi moved; Good followed suit, and inadvertently, this exposed the Jacksonville Jaguars' defensive strategy.

Mainly because of the "deceptive early move" just now, the Kansas City Chiefs disrupted the judgment and layout of the Jacksonville Jaguars in an unexpected way, so that Mahomes did not notice the changes hidden behind the Kansas City Chiefs' interlocking offensive strategies. Then, Mahomes announced the start of the game.

By the time the Jacksonville Jaguars realized something was "weird," it was too late.

Defensive end Campbell stepped forward immediately and tried to break open the offensive line, but found that the entire offensive line of the Kansas City Chiefs shrank inward, forming a dense interception, and actually blocked the Jacksonville Jaguars' first wave of rushing pressure.

Then when Campbell cut into the pocket, he found a protector next to Mahomes.

Not Levi.

Campbell: Kelsey? Wait, why is Kelsey here?

If Kelsey is here, that means...
