Two videos should watch those who don’t know how to do so much with the name Saquon Barkley before the Super Bowl. The Running Back of the Philadelphia Eagles is currently mentioned again and again when it comes to identifying the game-decisive people for the final of the US football league NFL in New Orleans (Monday, 0.30 a.m. CET). Travis Kelce by opponent Kansas City Chiefs is one of the well -known names, even if some may only play a partner of pop star Taylor Swift as a football. Which reminded of the social media prank from last season, in which women told their partners that Kelce had only really become famous by Swift.
The indignant answers counted Kelce’s recordsabout his three Super Bowl victories. In the main round, like the offensive of the Chiefs in general, he was unobtrusive for his standards. Then, however, he achieved 117 YARDS space win in the quarterfinals against Houston and the decisive catch in the end zone at the beginning of the final area. Kelce sent a message to opponents like Super-Bowl viewers: It may be that at the age of 35 I am not quite as productive in my 14th professional season-but it would be a mistake not to watch my walking paths!
It’s different with Saquon Barkley: it is impossible to not to note. The first video you should have seen: the reaction of his Eagles colleagues to Barkley’s appearance against Jacksonville in early November. He catches a pass from playmaker Jalen Hurts, wiggles an opponent with a hip tub and dupes the second with full body rotation; Then: Half rotation, jump, spreading of the legs, so that the rushing third defender dipped under him. You can only do something like that with computer game football if you press all buttons at the same time. The delighted faces of the colleagues on the edge of the field: A painting entitled “There is no.”
:The Super Bowl and the license to print money
Up to $ 20 million. An advertising minute costs so much during the Super Bowl on Sunday: The US football league knows how to make money. Bosch is also there now.
The second video comes from the documentary series “Hard Knocks”, which delivers an incredible views behind the scenes of the New York Giant Management. Barkley had played there for six years. He was already 27 years old at the time, and the half -life of running players in the NFL is shorter than that of foam on American beer. In a scene you can see Giants manager Joe Schoen, as he reports Barkley on the phone that he should check his market value in negotiations with other teams. The message: You won’t get what you think you can get. However, he could like to present offers from other franchises, the Giants would then possibly take the same. Giants owner John Mara is the only one who has concerns: “I could no longer sleep calmly if Saquon went to Philadelphia. He is the best and most popular player we have by far. ”
Barkley therefore checked its market value and found that the Giants rivals from Philadelphia including bonuses offered up to $ 46.7 million for three seasons and a super-bowl-suitable squad. He gave the Giants no opportunity to pull the same.
Without Barkley, New York achieved a record of three wins and 14 defeats, Philadelphia (14: 3) made the trip to the Super Bowl. Barkley achieved more than 2000 YARDS space gain as a ninth player in history in the regular playing time. In all three playoff games, he exceeded the 100 yard brand. Ironic tip: Barkley is an advertising figure for a sleeping pills. “I don’t need it, I sleep like a baby,” he says: “But maybe it could help you.”
The Eagles virtuosos virtuoso their attack tactics, the chiefs maintain the controlled chaos
Barkley celebrates his 28th birthday on Sunday, as the central figure of the Eagles offensive next to quarterback Hurts, who is a great runner himself. Hurts is the plow, the thighs of which create squats with a weight of 270 kilos on the shoulders, and if teammates push him on the butt at a move called “Tush Push”, then he can hardly be stopped over a short distance – in the semi -finals against Washington he managed with Just 16 Yard’s room gain three touchdowns.
This running game dominance is made possible by five natural forces of the offensive line, of which Center Cam Jurgens is considered a lightweight with a size of 1.90 meters with 137 kilos. The average dimensions of the two couples left and right of him: two meters, 157 kilos. These five block gaps so free, they enable Hurt’s additional tenths of a second in search of passion recipients – which have more time running out. Two, the walking paths of which should be kept in view, are receivers AJ Brown and Tight End Dallas Goedert-the Eagles counterpart to Travis Kelce.
The person on the side of the chiefs, which is why you should pay attention to on Sunday: Steve Spagnuolo, whose name should be even less familiar than Barkley. “Spags”, according to his nickname, is the defensive coach in Kansas City; The only one who won titles in this role with two different teams (Giants and Chiefs). Spagnuolo likes to put the opposing offensive under pressure with an apparently crazy tactic and forces them to fast – and sometimes over -hastted – decisions. Someone who otherwise should cover passport receivers suddenly storms towards the quarterback. The goal: The opposing offensive should create so little gain in space on its first and second attempt that your third and crucial attempt must be almost safe – a situation in which the Eagles and especially Hurts do not feel particularly comfortable.
This time Spagnuolo will send seven defenders to the field that the association chose at the Talent exchange in 2022 and who have known nothing more than triumph because of the success of the past two seasons in their professional carvers. You trust spagnuolo, whatever he has worked out. Before the semi -finals against Buffalo, they wore shirts with the inscription “In Spags We Trust”. The Eagles attack series, they are likely to be tactical delicacies.
:And in the end Mahomes is simply mahomes
The Kansas City Chiefs will win the Super Bowl for the third time in five years – because quarterback Patrick Mahomes shows in the last seconds of the game against the San Francisco 49ers why he is a big one of his sport.
The series of chiefs, on the other hand, are likely to be a spectacle from the middle of the second quarter, and that is due to quarterback Patrick Mahomes. What the chiefs often do at the beginning: try different formations. What does the opponent do when three possible runners wait next to Mahomes? What if three passport recipients run on the right and chilled Kelce in the middle? Who is free when?
Mahomes is a genius in recognizing patterns; His chief coach Andy Reid in improvising Mahomes. An example: The chiefs create a lot of space gain in the first quarter with a running game over the left. Later you choose the exact same line and supposedly the same move – Mahomes notices that the opposing defensive anticipates it and moves there. He spontaneously decides not to give the run player the ball this time and runs to the right, where there are hardly any opponents. It is controlled chaos on several levels – and that is exactly why it is so difficult to decipher.
And then of course there is Kelce, which could be surrounded by eleven opponents after eight joint seasons with Mahomes and would still be found by the quarterback and connected eyes. But that is known that it would be a huge mistake to let Kelce out of his eyes out of a tenth of a second.
