1. Judging from online reviews, this film belongs to the main theme of

American elementary and middle schools forcing children to carry out ideological education~~ 2. Linebacker Gerry Bertier is really awesome. In 1971, he received numerous honors and 10 regular season games. In addition to 3 playoff games, he scored 142 interceptions and 42 sacks. At the same time, his defensive team allowed opponents to score only 38 points in 13 games, an average of less than 3 points per game! Some NCAA elite schools also have the heart to solicit him, who is still in his sophomore year. However, unlike the plot in the movie, in reality Gerry was paralyzed in a car accident after the end of the season.

After paralysis, Gerry became an outstanding athlete with a disability. He participated in wheelchair track and basketball games, broke a large number of state and national records, and won shot put and discus gold medals in the Paralympics. His coach has always been Bill Yoast.

He is also committed to improving the living conditions of the disabled (mainly paraplegics like him). In 1981, he suffered another car accident (he had been with the car in his life) and died. His sister founded the "No. 42 Gerry Foundation". "Come on to continue his legacy.

In fact, Gerry Bertier is the real inspirational emperor in this story~~

3. Most of the plots about inter-ethnic tension in the movie have never happened in reality.

4. Shotgun

team's 71st Titans' final result was 27-0 in reality. Gerry's defensive team did not give opponents any chance. In order to increase the drama, the screenwriters made the opponents very powerful, and used a lot of shotgun arrays in the offense (the subtitles of the Taiwan version are directly translated as "professional team play", cheating)-from the perspective of the movie, it should be The classic shotgun array of Shandianweisi wide receiver. Although the shotgun team can give the quarterback more time and better perspective to prepare the pass, the defensive team will tend to pass the ball more targeted, and the long-distance kick-off also has a higher risk. That’s why Yoast said: "Ya really treats yourself as a New York jet."

5. Two quarterbacks and the Wildcats

The Titans in the movie have two quarterbacks, the black "priest" and the white Ronnie. The pastor is better at sports battles and short passes, while Ronnie's specialty is long passes, which are more in line with their own characteristics.

In the final goal of the final battle, the Titans need to go over. Under normal circumstances, the offensive team will call Hail Mary pass, desperately making long passes. The opposing coach also called the tactics for long passes. He was chanting "Cover D", which should be to recover the security guard against the wide receiver and kill the close end too deeply. However, the Titans used a weird tactic. The center kicked off the ball to the first quarterback Ronnie, Ronnie handed the ball to the running back, and the running back again handed the ball to the second quarterback priest, the priest. Yiqi Juechen went straight to the end area. Familiar? That's right, if Ronnie is replaced by a running back in this tactic, it would be the wildcat formation that has become very popular in the NFL in recent years. It is true that many of the NFL's new tactics come from high schools and colleges.
