Ten offensive plays, ten passes, nine successful, more than 200 yards passing, two touchdowns, no interceptions.
What does this data mean? This means that even in official games, the quarterback's performance was perfect and he could not find any faults.
Of course, first of all, there must be more than ten attacks in the official game, and this may not even be the number of attacks in one game; secondly, the environment, atmosphere, team confrontation, etc. of the official game must be more intense than that, and the training team or the More or less, it is still about training, not competition.
Third, three long passes with large numbers before and after are impossible to gamble like this in official games. The opponent's cornerback only needs to find one good opportunity to completely suppress the quarterback's arrogance; finally, the rookie four The shooting guard failed to be selected in the draft. A large part of the reason was that the game reference sample was too small and the average level could not be evaluated. Even a short drill in the rookie training camp was far from enough. So, is today's performance enough?
In just ten offensive plays, No. 11's entire offense was vigorous and powerful, but overall it was too aggressive, and several passing choices were too risky. It was like dancing on a tightrope. . This time, he succeeded; but if he failed in the official competition, the price would be much more serious.
Jim Harbaugh is very satisfied with the data and results of these ten offenses, but for the above reasons, this is not the most satisfactory part for him.
Faced with the pressure of passing the ball, No. 11 did not give up easily. He was still looking for gaps and trying to complete the pass. Such perseverance is really valuable. This is the first point.
The most representative of this type of quarterback in the league is Aaron Rodgers. He can always find a passing gap in the stormy waves, especially the Green Bay Packers' abysmal offensive line. There are hundreds of holes, but he can always lead the team forward. No wonder people always say, "Aaron Rodgers is dragging the entire team forward on his own shoulders."
As for the second point, it is No. 11's reading of the defense. Among the ten attacks, he was tackled once, hit twice, and shot under pressure twice. Except for the time when he was tackled, No. 11's defensive judgment was basically correct, which also improved his passing success rate. Skyrocketing.
In official games, a 90% pass success rate is almost impossible. But in just ten attacks, No. 11's defensive interpretation and tactical design are extremely precious. This is the second point.
Of course, No. 11’s shortcomings are still obvious. One is the foot movement ability, as well as the ability to dodge tackles and resist grapples. These skills are still not up to the standard; secondly, there is room for improvement in physical confrontation ability. Now it is just a training-level confrontation intensity. It is unimaginable. What will happen if the competition is intense? Passing accuracy and defensive reading will inevitably decrease accordingly, but how much of the decrease is unknown is unknown.
This is also a tough test for all rookie quarterbacks.
Nonetheless, in addition to two points of satisfaction, Jim still discovered the biggest gain today: a perfect score in the Vondrick test. What does this mean?
In the history of the NFL, there is only one player with Feng Derrick with perfect scores in the test, and Lu Ke is the unprecedented second, and he is also the only quarterback. No one knows how important the Vonderrick test is to the quarterback position and how much it can play a role, but at least judging from the rookie training camp and today's trial, this No. 11 is obviously a A quarterback who plays with his head, and the results are pretty good.
At first, during the training game of the rookie training camp, No. 11 became the first quarterback to score a touchdown. People were just amazed and didn't think much about it; but today, Jim once again witnessed No. 11 copying Such a miracle, and even better, he couldn't help but think about it——
Players with perfect scores in the Fonderrick test learn the tactical manual very quickly, right? So what about the speed of understanding and application? And the most important thing is, at the critical moment of the game, at the critical moment, Fonderrick tests the quarterback with perfect score, what choice will he make? Just like the last offensive play just now, the choice of passing the ball for 65 yards?
To be honest, there are countless talented players in sports, not just in football, but in any field. Genius is the least valuable thing. Because geniuses are too proud and too confident, they tend to squander their talents and end up doing nothing. It is too difficult to find a genius who is hardworking and persistent.
Among the ten players who truly become the backbone of the league, one may be a peerless genius; another may be an ordinary genius, but works extremely hard; the remaining seven all have certain talents, but work extremely hard; Finally, there is the possibility that the talent is mediocre, and a lifetime of hard work has been exhausted to become a cattle-like player. He may not be able to go down in history, but he is an indispensable part of the game.
As for those who have talent but refuse to work hard, competitive sports is a arena of great waves, and the cruel reality is staged every day.
So, which one does this No. 11 quarterback fall into? Or, which one will it become? His strengths and weaknesses are so clear, even more clear than in rookie training camp. Choosing him is a gamble. But, should he make this huge bet?
After completing the pass in the last attack, Lu Ke secretly clenched his fists, then expressed his gratitude to his temporary teammates one by one, and then turned and left the field. Those temporary teammates still stayed on the field, waiting for the next four-pointer. Wei's appearance.
From a distance, you could see Scott's face full of surprise and joy. He exaggeratedly said, "Incredible! Incredible!" Then he gave Lu Ke a big hug, lowered his voice, and whispered, "Jesus Christ, why didn't I think you were so awesome when we were at the Rose Bowl?"
Looking at Scott, who had no grudges and was full of admiration, Lu Ke laughed dumbly and pointed out an important fact, "We are competitors."
Not wanting to, Scott waved his hand, "I have no chance to compete with you. Even if it were me, I would choose you." Sensing Lu Ke's surprised gaze, Scott showed a smile, "I know With my own ability, leaving the game is actually the right choice, but I am always unwilling to do so. Even as a substitute, I want to leave some traces in this league. Therefore, I have dreams, but no obsession."
The Scott in front of him reminded Lu Ke of John Ward. One chooses to persist and the other chooses to leave, but they all share the love for rugby.
"No. 11...er, Lu Ke?" A calling voice rang. Lu Ke and Scott exchanged glances, turned around, and then saw Jim.
The person who spoke just now was clearly Jim, but he was lost in thought at this time and did not respond further. Then Kip, who was standing next to him, waved with a bright smile on his face, signaling Lu Ke to come quickly.
Lu Ke hurriedly ran forward, and Kip showed a satisfied smile and thumped Lu Ke's chest heavily, "The performance just now was not bad." Not only was it good, it was simply wonderful. However, Kip was not surprised at all. When he watched Lu Ke's training, Kip knew that this little guy was definitely underestimated.
Lu Ke smiled and nodded. After the draft, the past few months of suffering and training seem to be described as "a few months have passed", but in actual training every day, there is no need to be lazy at all, step by step. Only he himself knows the hardships involved.
"How is your health?" Jim interrupted the brief exchange between the two people and asked simply and directly.
Lu Ke was slightly stunned, "It's okay."
Jim didn't believe it and shook his head, "Don't pretend to be fine. I need to know your physical condition and what happened after the confrontation. Even if you lie now, we can arrange a physical examination now, and the result will still be the same." Physical The gap in confrontation ability is Lu Ke's biggest shortcoming and also his most fatal shortcoming.
Lu Ke reacted immediately, "Believe me, everything is normal."
Although Lu Ke's physical fitness still cannot compete with those abnormal defensive players, nor can he compare with a powerful running quarterback like Cam Newton; but he is not that fragile.
Compared with the previous impact, Lu Ke actually felt more lactic acid in his right biceps now. During the tenth attack, Lu Ke always remained tight, and he exerted a little too much force. He chose to pass the ball. It was also too radical, so my arms still felt some burden. But, that's all.
This is a training match on the line between life and death, so Lu Ke is constantly taking risks; in the actual game, it is naturally impossible to overdraw so desperately.
Now, he is still not a top-notch quarterback; but he is now developing towards this goal. Lu Ke firmly believes that he is on the right path.
Jim looked Lu Ke up and down. There was a trace of doubt in his eyes, but he didn't say much. He just lowered his jaw and said, "That would be great. Now, jog three laps, and then practice twenty times next to him." A short pass." After saying that, Jim didn't look at Lu Ke anymore, but turned to look at the other quarterbacks, "Who is the second one?"
This time, the quarterbacks were much more proactive, with at least five taking the initiative.
However, Lu Ke ignored it and started jogging without stopping.
He was not injured, it was just soreness caused by exerting too much force. What's more, in competitive sports, minor injuries are not out of the firing line. Every athlete has some minor injuries more or less, and it is also a matter of enduring the pain to compete. part of the game. For Lu Ke, this is not a problem.
While jogging, Lu Ke saw Matt Hasselbeck come on the stage and officially led the offensive team to advance. Lu Ke withdrew his attention and started running with full concentration. For him, this was also a precious rest time.
The trial training is still going on, but the situation has changed slightly. After the first day of trial training, eight quarterbacks were eliminated and sent home, leaving only four quarterbacks in the end; and then the second and third days of trial training returned to normal.
Small training matches are held every day. On the afternoon of the third day, the four quarterbacks also conducted a complete training match. The four quarterbacks were divided into two teams and started a confrontation to test the quarterback's ability to lead the team to victory. The four quarterbacks are:
Matt Hasselbeck, Carson Palmer, Scott Tolsin, and Lu Ke.
