At 7:30 a.m. Beijing time on February 14, the 56th Super Bowl will be held at the SOFI Stadium in Los Angeles, and today is the 5th day of the countdown, with a special Super Bowl countdown series, taking you to take stock of the key alignment analysis of the two sides of the Super Bowl against the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Tigers. Today brings you the first issue – an analysis of the defensive groups on both sides. In contrast, the Rams' defensive group is at a crushing level in terms of fame, but will the Tigers' defense be suspended by the Rams' attack? Let's take a look.
Los Angeles Rams:
Key figures: Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey, von Miller
The Rams' defensive team looks so star-studded throughout the league, and the strength of the league's defensive first man, Aaron Donald, has won the defensive player of the year for 3 times in the past 4 years. The league's most expensive cornerback, Jaron Ramsey, is also the leader of the Second Line of the Rams' defense, and his focus on the opponent's number one outside receiver during the game is critical to the Rams' overall defensive efficiency. Don't forget the 50th Super Bowl MVP winner, veteran passer von Miller, a star linebacker who has recently blossomed and has frequently made brilliant performances in the playoffs.
Underneath this three-star shine, the Rams hide the solidity of their collective defensive strength. After von Miller joined, another passer, Floyd, was more powerful on the blind side, while linebacker Riddle repeatedly offered key tackles to lay the foundation for the team's rushing pass. The Rams' defensive talent is visible to the naked eye, as long as the defensive run is excellent, they have Donald and Miller in front of them to pressure, ramsey to stare at the opponent's head card, and the rest of the defensive second line frequently eat cake. And the Tigers' offensive front in the American League semifinals against the Titans with nine tackles, will they have a better way to face the Donald-led defensive group?
Cincinnati Tigers:
Key characters: Trey Hendrickson, Eli Apple, Jesse Bates
In terms of fame, the Tigers' defensive group is much more low-key than the Rams, and even after cutting the professional bowl defensive interceptor Atkins, many people think that the Tigers' defense will have a significant regression. However, the Tigers' defense hit a lot of spectators in the face, and although they often played a scoring battle with their opponents in the regular season, their tough defense showed aggression in the playoffs. In the first two playoff games, they did not let the opponent score more than 16 points, especially the Three Interceptions of Tanish hill in the American League Semifinals were a life-saving performance, and the response of the opponents in the second half of the American League Finals was also very commendable.
Hendrickson joined from the Saints offseason, and while not as eye-catching as Donald and TJ Watt, he has also made a lot of tackles. The Tigers' defensive second line is even more appreciated, and After Apple left the Giants and Saints, he finally came to life here! Bates' performance is at the Pro Bowl level. In the face of the Rams' offense, whether this defensive second line can limit the ghostly running of the Rams receiver led by Karp will be the key to whether the Tigers can take the initiative.
