Broncos' defense causing destruction, one takeaway at a time
野马防守组用一个个失误为对手带来毁灭性打击
由丹佛日报专栏作家Nicki Jhabvala于美国山区时间9月28日下午2:50分发表
Chris Harris beamed as he quickly rewound the past three weeks in his mind.
There was Aqib Talib's game-changing interception return for a touchdown in Week 1 against Baltimore. There was Darian Stewart's game-saving interception to seal that victory. There was Talib's other interception in Week 2 at Kansas City. And Brandon Marshall's forced fumble that was recovered and returned by Bradley Roby. And, please, don't forget Harris' interception.
当角卫Chris Harris快速在脑海中回顾刚刚过去的三周比赛时,他露出了无比灿烂的笑容。
他想起了角卫Aqib Talib在第一周对阵巴尔的摩乌鸦队那次改变比赛进程的抄截回攻达阵。然后又有游卫Darian Stewart那次锁定胜局的救命抄截。他又想起了Talib第二周客战堪萨斯城酋长队时的另一个抄截。还有外线卫Brandon Marshall造成的那次掉球,后来被角卫Bradley Roby拿到并且回攻达阵。哦,还请别忘记了Harris自己那次抄截呢。
There was Roby's acrobatic interception at Detroit. And David Bruton's acrobatic interception soon after. And Shaquil Barrett's strip sack. And the list, after only three games, goes on and on and on.
又想起来客战底特律雄狮队Roby贡献的杂耍抄截。紧接着还有安全卫David Bruton的杂耍抄截。还有线卫Shaquil Barrett迫使掉球的擒杀。在常规赛打响仅仅三个星期,这个列表就已经在不断不断的延续了。
The Broncos' deep and destructive defense that reared its head in the preseason continues to wreak havoc on the league, one takeaway at a time, one sack at a time, one game-altering play at a time.
Not since Pittsburgh in 2010 has a team recorded at least 10 takeaways and 10 sacks in the first three weeks. The Broncos have 10 and 11, respectively.
在季前赛初显惊艳之后,丹佛野马队极富深度、破坏性极强的防守组靠着一个个失误,一个个擒杀,一个个能够改变比赛结果的战术,不断在联盟里大杀特杀。
在2010年匹兹堡钢人队在前三周就打出了10次球权转换和10个擒杀的成绩之后,就没有其他队能够如此快的做到,直到现在的野马队。相对应的,这支野马已经造成了10次球权转换还有11次擒杀。
"I give us an A+," Harris said of the Broncos' victory in Detroit. "We continued to get these turnovers every week, and that's huge."
Consistency was preached, but met with skepticism from the start, many wondering if the defense, while deep, could continue to disrupt at this pace. But the team's reliance on its defense for three consecutive victories has converted the skeptics. Denver's 10 takeaways has led to 31 points, nearly 42 percent of their total.
“我给我们队评A+,”Harris在野马客胜雄狮之后如是说,“我们每周都在不停的造成对手失误,这意义真的是极其重大的。”
球队一直在宣传自己防守的稳定性,但是从一开始就被评论家嘲讽,很多人都质疑这支防守组,即使它确实具备深度,也很难按照这样的强度继续摧毁对方的进攻。但是野马在连续三场胜利中对自己防守组的依赖让这些批评者转变了看法。野马所迫使的10次球权转换为他们带来了31分,占到了他们总得分的接近42%。
The Broncos are averaging 3.3 takeaways per game, putting them on pace to finish the season with about 53. The 2014 Broncos recorded only 25, the 15th-most in the league, and no team in the past 25 years has recorded more than 49, a mark set by the 2000 Ravens.
野马现在平均每场比赛制造3.3次球权转换,如果继续按照这种节奏打完常规赛的话,他们在赛季末可以制造大约53次失误。2014年的野马队只有25个,在联盟里排名第15名,而且在近25年来没有一支队制造了超过49个失误,而这个记录是由2000年的巴尔的摩乌鸦队保持的。
"We constantly work on getting turnovers," Bruton said. "Our scoop-and-score drills, interceptions, tip drills — everything like that. We work on that every week, so just to have those things come to fruition is amazing. "
“我们不停的训练如何制造失误,”Bruton如是说,“我们的捡掉球回攻达阵训练、抄截训练、手指拨球训练——我们练的都是这些。我们周周都在练,能够看到自己训练的内容给我们带来胜利的果实真的是太惊人了。”
The aggressiveness is a credit to multiple factors, the players say. But much of it goes to defensive coordinator Wade Phillips' 3-4 defense.
The system emphasizes aggression up front, freeing up the line and the edge rushers to attack the quarterback. It requires the middle linebackers to both tackle and drop in coverage and allows the defensive backs to, as Harris says, "be on an island."
队员们说,能有这种侵略性极强的打法是多个因素所致的。但是很主要的一部分要感谢防守协调员Wade Phillips的3-4型防守系统。
这个系统强调了前线上的侵略性,彻底解放了防守前线球员还有侧翼冲传手去不断攻击四分卫。另外,中线卫不仅需要向前冲、做出擒抱,也需要往后撤打联防,这样就可以像Harris所描述的那样,让防守后卫“待在一个岛上”。
"I like it like that," said Harris, who played man-to-man on Golden Tate on Sunday and held him to 57 yards on five receptions. "It's good to have that trust from the coaches."
Phillips' 3-4 puts a greater responsibility on cornerbacks to read and react on the fly, making communication vital in the defensive backfield. The Broncos revamped their defense in the summer of 2014, signing Ware, safety T.J. Ward and Talib, and a full season together has, as they expected, led to a smooth start this season — even with the new scheme.
Harris在周日人盯人防守雄狮外接手Golden Tate,并将其限制在5次接球推进57码。他说,“这样的防守打法我很喜欢,能够获得教练组的信任真的是很好的事。”
Phillips的3-4型防守让各个角卫身上的责任更重大,他们需要在运动战中阅读进攻并且及时作出反应。野马在2014年大幅改造了自己的防守组,签下了防守端锋DeMarcus Ware,安全卫T.J. Ward还有此前提到的Talib,也正如球队所期望的那样,经过一整个赛季的磨合,他们在今年带来了非常好的开头,即使球队整个防守策略都改变了也并没有什么影响。
"Guys are definitely taking it a lot more seriously," Bruton said. "To know that we can win games and, especially throughout these last few weeks, being able to force 10 turnovers, we know what we're capable of, and we're just going to keep having that hunt and that hunger in us."
“队友们把防守看得重了很多,”Bruton如是说,“我们明白了我们可以赢球,然后特别是经过最近这几个星期,我们知道了我们可以造10个失误出来,我们知道我们可以做到很多很多,那么我们就需要一直把我们那种血性和饥渴感保持住。”
