Chapter 1102 Single Point Breakthrough
Judging from the data, the Green Bay Packers are still relying on Rodgers to win.

But LaFleur isn’t worried because he knows they’re on the right track.

However, it takes time to fine-tune the tactics, and it also takes time for Rogers to get rid of McCarthy’s influence and enter a new system, so they need to be patient and adjust slowly.

As long as the team is given enough time, the modern outside zone offense system will be able to shine for the Green Bay Packers, and LaFleur is confident in himself.

Because the Green Bay Packers have the ultimate weapon that Shanahan’s San Francisco 49ers and McVay’s Los Angeles Rams never had:

An elite quarterback.

So, how should the defense crack this tactic?

The answer is not that simple.

The defense cannot expect to defeat the entire tactical system by cutting off one player. When other teams focus all their attention on Rogers and firmly believe that sack Rogers can break LaFleur’s tactics, they fall into the trap of the modern outside zone offensive system.

For one thing, when Rogers realizes the pressure, he can modify his strategy at any time.

Secondly, even if Rogers does not adjust the tactics, he can still turn the tide with his personal ability.

In the first quarter, the Green Bay Packers completely suppressed the Kansas City Chiefs.

However, don’t forget that in the Super Bowl earlier this year, the Kansas City Chiefs faced McVay’s Los Angeles Rams, who made Goff and Gurley suffer. Reid has a little experience in how to deal with the modern outside zone offense system.

The key, in fact, lies not with the quarterback, but with the running back.

Of course, everyone knows that Rogers is the core soul of the Green Bay Packers. This is an objective fact. The pass-run ratio of the Green Bay Packers this season also proves this. Passing is still their strongest weapon; but the key to interrupting LaFleur’s offensive tactics lies on the ground.

The key to the strategy is to suppress or even cut off the Green Bay Packers’ ground attack. The focus is not on forcing Rogers to return to the passing attack mode, but on letting Rogers return to the isolated and helpless mode of turning the tide.

That’s the McCarthy model.

By cutting off the ground offense, the modern outside zone offense system’s variability, mobility and flexibility are put in trouble and lose its diversity.

On the surface, there seems to be no difference.

In essence, it changes the balance of offense and defense.

In the Super Bowl at the beginning of the year, Gurley’s ground offense was repeatedly intercepted and hit a wall, and Goff was repeatedly in a dilemma where he had to rely on passing to turn the situation around. He couldn’t make any of McVay’s changes.

In fact, judging from the regular season data, the Los Angeles Rams’ passing ratio was much higher than their running ratio. However, the Kansas City Chiefs relied on their defense to stifle ground offense and took the initiative to dominate the game.

The Rogers in front of him is a little trickier, but the strategy is still the same.

Moreover, Rogers’s playing habits, which have not yet been completely changed, may also become a breakthrough for the Kansas City Chiefs to break the balance.

Relying on Levi’s smooth offense, the Kansas City Chiefs, from the coaching staff to the defensive staff, all gained a firm foothold, and when they came on the court, they were in a brand new state.

At the Green Bay Packers’ 25-yard line, both teams had lined up.

Jones took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the linebackers Higgins and Regland behind him, exchanged glances, and without saying anything, went straight into the game.

Bend over, support yourself on the ground, and lean forward.

Jones assumed a punching stance, his eyes fixed on Rogers.

Get into the state quickly.

Rogers felt the pressure coming towards him at the first moment, and he locked onto his prey like a cobra, with an obvious forward momentum.

So, is this a smoke screen?

Originally, the core of LaFleur’s offensive system is to compress the focus time, increase the offensive rhythm as much as possible, and compress the defensive team’s layout time. Although it is not a non-focused offense, the rhythm is still firmly controlled by the offensive team, further amplifying the offensive team’s proactive advantage.

However, Rogers noticed the change in the game atmosphere and immediately realized that the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense was in high spirits because of Levi’s touchdown. He experiencedly slowed down the pace and deliberately kept the defense on edge, gradually wearing down the defense’s concentration. At the same time, Rogers changed his tactics and tested the defense’s reaction by throwing a stone to test the water.

However, the Kansas City Chiefs defense remained unmoved and maintained their formation.

Rogers showed a look of understanding in his eyes and announced the kick-off.

“attack!”

Without hesitation, Rogers moved laterally with the ball following running back Aaron Jones, leaving the pocket and exposing himself.

At the same time, he made a handover motion with his right hand, as if he was ready to pass the football to Aaron Jones, but he did not hand it over immediately. He kept holding the ball and looked around, observing the movements of the defensive team.

Sure enough, defensive end Chris Jones rushed over with murderous intent in his eyes.

With an outside pass, relying on the reaction force of pushing the offensive tackle to drag his body out, Chris Jones rushed towards Rogers with unstoppable force.

Raid!

Rogers could see that not only Chris Jones, but the linebacker behind him also completed the position change, followed closely and tried to make a surprise attack.

This should be a six-man pass rush! The Kansas City Chiefs go all in.

Rogers was exceptionally calm, and his fake moves were second to none among the league’s quarterbacks. He retracted his right hand, as if preparing for a quick short pass, but he feinted and thrust his right hand, stuffing the football into Aaron Jones’ arms.

Moreover, Rogers continued to move forward as if he was preparing to pass the ball, distracting the defensive players.

From the beginning, Rogers was prepared to use himself as bait and hand the football to Aaron Jones to complete the ground advance, using the simplest trick of feinting to the east and attacking in the west to complete the advance, and making full use of the Kansas City Chiefs’ passionate impulse to make a fuss.

Approach, collision.

Seeing that Rogers was about to collide with Chris Jones, he never expected that Chris Jones didn’t even look at Rogers and walked straight past Rogers.

Rogers was stunned.

The next second, linebacker Ray Grande was already rushing towards Rogers.

Rogers immediately realized: He’d been fooled!

Chris Jones made a grand attack posture, and the linebackers’ cross-position change really showed the posture of attacking the quarterback, but behind the smoke bomb was a small trick of cross-position change –

A raid is still a raid, but the real purpose is not to raid.

Rogers took it for granted that he was the target of the sack, but his cleverness backfired.

Oops!

“Jones vs Jones”.

Alignment, shaping.

Aaron Jones had no idea that he was the target.

Immersed in his work, he was analyzing how to break through. He finally got a chance from the quarterback and was about to show his skills.

Believe it or not, this was only his third time holding the ball on the ground in today’s game.

Although he has been targeted three times as a wide receiver and scored a touchdown, he has not forgotten his job.

Just as he was about to take action, a figure suddenly appeared from the side and pounced on him.

Aaron Jones was confused: What’s going on?
