Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1377 Rational Choice
Uh.

With a muffled groan, he felt dizzy and the sky and the earth collapsed.

Watson didn't have a chance to catch his breath, let alone adjust or escape. He was overwhelmed by an unreasonable force and fell to the ground.

So embarrassed.

It's a pity that he is a running quarterback, known for his pocket footwork, running ability and ability to get rid of the opponent, but the result is -

Capture and kill.

Watson had no idea what was going on. Why the fake handoff didn't deceive his opponent? What was wrong with the pocket protection of the offensive line? He didn't even have time to see clearly who the red figure was who completed the sack. He fell to the ground without any ability to fight back, like a chick that had just been born and didn't even have time to open its eyes, let alone stand firmly.

When I was feeling dizzy, a right hand appeared in front of me.

Watson didn't think much about it, and subconsciously grabbed his right hand and stood up. Chris Jones' face appeared in front of him and his expression froze.

Chris Jones had a blank expression on his face, with a hint of restraint in his eyes, “Sorry.”

It looked like he was bullying a child, and it was an unfair victory.

Watson: ... "Why are you apologizing? Hey, why are you apologizing? What are you apologizing for, who are you apologizing for, why are you apologizing for, explain it clearly."

However, Chris Jones has turned back to the team and continued to line up with the defensive team to prepare for the next defense.

Watson was completely left hanging: …

I looked left and right, and felt a breath stuck in my chest, almost exploding.

Running back Tywan Jones was accidentally caught by Watson's eyes, and he quickly looked up at the sky, whistled, and used all his performance energy to prove his innocence.

"Grass!"

Watson could no longer control himself, swore, clenched his fists, and kept reminding himself to take a deep breath, and then take another deep breath, to control his emotions.

In the sixth week of the regular season, the Houston Texans also challenged the Kansas City Chiefs away at Arrowhead Stadium. The game was stalemate and the situation was tense. As the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive group continued to widen the gap, the Houston Texans urgently needed to continue scoring and keep the game close.

At that time, Watson took the initiative to volunteer to take on the heavy responsibility and try to prove himself.

The results of it?
Sacks. Interceptions. Strikeouts.

There is no ability to fight back, too much is as bad as too little, use too much force.

Watson failed to become a superhero to save the Houston Texans. Instead, he became the last straw that caused the team to fall into chaos and lose confidence.

After that, the Houston Texans were never able to score again and were completely caught up in the rhythm of the Kansas City Chiefs, losing the game miserably.

Those lessons are still vivid in my mind and unforgettable. I can still see the vivid scenes when I close my eyes.

The scene in front of me seemed familiar. At that time, the Kansas City Chiefs' defense chose to raid, and then defensive end Frank Clark sacked the player.

He cannot make the same mistake again.

The same lesson, going through it once is bad enough, going through it a second or third time in the same season is stupid -

He refused to give Levi the right to label himself as stupid.

"Calm down. Their tactics are the same as ours, pressing forward. Watson, we discussed this in the pre-match tactical meeting and we know what to do."

O'Brien's voice came from the headphones. Although Watson's head was hot, his first reaction was to plug his ears and refuse to listen to O'Brien's nagging; but this time, Watson barely controlled himself. Subconsciously, Watson turned his head to look to the other side and found Levi in ​​the crowd. Levi was resting, and while resting, he was discussing with the offensive coaching team, not paying attention to the movement on the court, showing the style of a team leader.

Damn it!

He couldn't lose to that guy, he refused to lose to that guy.

Is it more important to prove himself or the team? This time, Watson finally made a rational choice.

Before the reins of reason got out of control, Watson finally braked and regained control, and had a brief conversation with O'Brien through the headphones.

As O'Brien said, the Kansas City Chiefs aimed at the front field to pressure the pass rush, trying to continuously put pressure on the quarterback. The Houston Texans are no strangers to such tactics. Their pre-game analysis anticipated this possibility.

In the pre-match game, O'Brien and Reed were really in a stalemate. The first wave of offense and defense was just the beginning, and the second wave of offense and defense was still within this range.

Just now, the Kansas City Chiefs' offense showed its colors; now, it is the turn of the Houston Texans' offense. There is more than just JJ Watt in this team.

Then, the Kansas City Chiefs defense discovered something:

Watson, no longer sticks to the ball!

In other words, Watson is no longer obsessed with being a hero, the predictability of the entire offensive tactics is greatly reduced, and the Houston Texans' offense also opens up.

It turns out that Watson does have talent after all.

In the NCAA, Watson was generally the more favored quarterback, even surpassing Lamar Jackson.

Indeed, Jackson's physical fitness is incredible, only seen once in a decade. In the NCAA tactical system, almost no one can resist such a quarterback.

But everyone knows that after entering the professional league, the quarterback still needs to pass the ball. Jackson's ground advancement ability is comparable to that of an excellent running back, but his passing ability is worrying, not even as good as that of the Carolina Panthers' No. 1 pick quarterback Cam Newton. His ceiling is there.

Watson is not like that.

As a running quarterback, Watson's passing ability is very good; in fact, Watson himself prefers passing the ball more than running.

The most intuitive key is that when the pocket is broken and when facing a sack crisis, Jackson, like other running quarterbacks, tends to rely on his legs to solve the problem, including this season when he has made great progress; while Watson tends to rely on passing the ball, and running the ball is the last resort when he has no other choice.

The instinctive choice of conditioned reflex in difficult situations is the true nature.

Just look at Watson's numbers in his first two years in the NFL.

Currently, the league's standard for measuring excellence for quarterbacks is a 3,000-yard season. Watson's passing yardage has exceeded 4,000 for two consecutive seasons, while his running yardage has hovered around 500 yards - excellent, even top-notch, but there is a clear gap between his running data and Jackson's.

The most surprising thing is that the pass success rates were 61.8% and 68.3% respectively, which is surprising.

Watson's quarterback rating is also far ahead among young people, 2017 in the 103.0 season and 2018 in the 103.1 season.

In the first two seasons of his career, Watson's quarterback ratings were both over 100. Such performance is enough to make him one of the few young quarterbacks to stand at the top of the pyramid.

In every way, Watson is more like... Rogers, a slightly less stable player.

It is precisely because of this that Watson's talent and ability have always been highly recognized among the league's young quarterbacks, and he is generally believed to have unlimited potential and great prospects.

To some extent, Watson's potential is no less than that of Mahomes, who shone throughout the league last season.

With the general shortage of quarterbacks in the league, even a quarterback like Cousins ​​who is slightly above average can easily negotiate a big contract. Quarterbacks are seriously overpriced, and the market for a quarterback like Watson, who is young, energetic and full of potential, is on the rise and has a bright future.

The key point is, how does Watson realize his talent?
