A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door. This principle is applicable everywhere.
For the news media, Lu Ke's starting position is just an entertainment gimmick. The title of "Skywalker" is far more interesting and eye-catching than a Chinese quarterback or Bambi. In the final analysis, this is just a hype. No one really cares about Lu Ke's performance on the court - it is just a three-game winning streak. We will discuss it in depth after entering the playoffs.
But for those within the league, this is truly a fresh start.
In the fourth week of the regular season, Lu Ke will appear as the starting quarterback for the fourth time; however, this is the first time that he has got rid of the crisis of transition quarterback and substitute quarterback and can be an official starter.
In the past three weeks, people have been waiting for Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick. Lu Ke was just the last resort in times of crisis. Many teams have almost given up on the first two weeks of the regular season. In the first three weeks of the game; now, both Alex and Colin have returned from injury, but after competition within the team, both are hiding on the bench, and the transition quarterback has become the legitimate starting quarterback.
For the team, for the fans, for Lu Ke, and even for the other three quarterbacks, everything is new. A change in position will inevitably bring about a series of chain reactions such as mentality, pressure and emotion. This is an uncertain positional factor for the game, and it also adds to the excitement of this week's game.
This week, the San Francisco 49ers are still playing away games. They will go to Philadelphia on the east coast to challenge the Eagles.
Since its establishment in 1933, the Philadelphia Eagles have been a team in the National League East. They belong to the same division as the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, and Washington Redskins. Apart from the National League North, this is the division with the most historical disputes, grudges, and pasts. , the four teams can be said to have a long history, brilliant records, and have their own era in the league.
The Philadelphia Eagles were an absolute powerhouse in the league in the 1950s, sweeping the league; unfortunately, that was the era before the merger of the National League and the American League, that is, the era before the Super Bowl. As a result, they unfortunately became one of the thirteen teams in the league that has never won the Super Bowl.
Despite this, the Philadelphia Eagles are still an absolutely strong overlord in the National League East, competing with the other three opponents. After the millennium, in the past eleven years, the Philadelphia Eagles have won six division championships, in addition to Finished second in the division three times and successfully entered the playoffs nine times. Only 2005 and 2007 were absent.
With such a performance, they suppressed their sworn enemies in the same region and became the absolute overlord of the National League East since the 21st century.
In the 2010 season, the Philadelphia Eagles entered the playoffs with a record of ten wins and six losses, but unfortunately lost to the surging Green Bay Packers in the first round; they made a comeback this year and achieved a good record of three wins and one loss in the preseason. , after the start of the regular season, they have only achieved one win and two losses.
This is a team that is good at offense, but its defense is relatively weak. In the tenth week of last year's regular season, they scored 59 points in a single game and brutally beat their rivals in the same district, the Washington Redskins, which is still talked about today.
The same is true in the first three games of this year's regular season. The defensive team performed mediocrely and relied on the offensive team to continue to recover. In the second week of the game, the Philadelphia Eagles lost to the Atlanta Falcons in an away game, with a score of "31:35"; in the third week of the game, the Eagles lost to the New York Giants, their rivals in the same district, by a big score at home, with the final score set at " 16:29".
Compared with last year, the offensive team's firepower this year has declined and they were unable to open up the situation. This also led to only one victory in the first three weeks of the game.
However, as the absolute overlord of the National League East in the first decade of the 21st century, their heritage is still there. As long as they adjust or find the crux, in the next games, they will still be the most needed in the league. One of the vigilant opponents.
In this team, the offensive team is full of stars, including running back LeSean McCoy (LeSean McCoy), offensive tackle Jason Peters (Jason Peters), wide receiver DeSean- DeSean-Jackson is a Pro Bowl-level and All-American first-team star player.
And their leader, Michael Vick, is a well-known figure in the league.
He entered the league as the No. 1 pick in 2001 and entered the Pro Bowl three times. He also created a unique style of running quarterback and became a beautiful sight in the league. In times of crisis, he was always able to use his legs to run. It created a channel to lead the team to continue its prospects, derived the pistol formation, and promoted the read option offense, and juniors such as Cam Newton and Colin Kaepernick were even more behind.
In the 2006 season, Vick ran for 1,039 yards in a single season, becoming the first quarterback in league history to run for 1,000 yards in a single season. You know, even for a running back, a 1,000-yard season is a monumental feat, let alone a quarterback? This is not only unprecedented, but also unprecedented.
After experiencing the dogfighting scandal in 2007, Vick was imprisoned and spent twenty-three months in prison. After he was released in 2009, the Atlanta Falcons waived the player. His career seemed to have ended here, and just when he was almost ready to go to Europe to find a job in the indoor league, the Philadelphia Eagles extended an olive branch.
At that time, it was a helpless decision for the Philadelphia Eagles to choose Vick, but it was not a decision that was too difficult to understand. The team's two quarterbacks at that time, one veteran, had declined for three consecutive years; one rookie had been off the bench for two consecutive years, and his performance had always been terrible. At that time, the head coach of the team played a West Coast offense, and the tactics were extremely complicated——
The so-called West Coast offense is more complicated to explain. A simple understanding is "passing first, running the ball second." It relies on measuring intricate running routes and tactical arrangements to lead the team forward with dazzling passing methods. For four points There are strict requirements for the defender's passing accuracy, game control and Vonderrick test.
The San Francisco 49ers are the West Coast offense.
Therefore, the Philadelphia Eagles need a quarterback with West Coast offensive experience as a backup, and Vick has been the leader of the West Coast offense before going to prison; not to mention, because of prison issues, Vick's annual salary in 2009 It's only $1.6 million, which barely accounts for much of the salary cap.
So Vic came to Philadelphia. After experiencing occasional rotations in 2009, Vick once again showed his strength. In the 2010 offseason and the first two weeks of the regular season, he won the starting position with his outstanding performance.
Throughout the subsequent season, Vick dominated all quarters, setting new personal highs in all quarterback statistics. Not only did he lead the team into the playoffs, but he was also selected to the Pro Bowl, and won the best comeback award that year, and even It almost threatened Tom Brady's regular season MVP title.
As you can imagine, the Philadelphia Eagles are looking forward to and paying attention to the 2011 season. Although the current record is not good, there is no doubt about the foundation. Under the leadership of Vick, the Eagles' offensive explosiveness has always been the most terrifying existence.
What's more, the Philadelphia Eagles, who are united as one, spent a lot of money to build their own defensive team during this offseason, and they obviously want to make a big splash. They poached defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins from the Green Bay Packers, who had just won the Super Bowl.
In addition, there are Tennessee Titans defensive end Jason Babin and Oakland Raiders cornerback Nnamdi-Asomugha. These three players are all first-class players in the United States. The strength of the team members is beyond doubt.
Three weeks of regular season games have passed, and the defensive team's running-in is still in progress. Once the correct defensive rhythm is found, the team's strength will inevitably reach a higher level.
This week, the Philadelphia Eagles are about to face the challenge of the San Francisco 49ers. The state of both sides is undoubtedly the focus of attention, and it is a severe test for each other.
For the members of the defensive team, they will face the most popular Chinese-American quarterback in this year's season. In Jim Harper's West Coast offensive system, Lu Ke's ability has been fully demonstrated. In the past three weeks, the quarterback The ratings are all over 100, which is the best proof.
And for the members of the offensive staff, especially Michael Vick. Vick, who had the best performance of his career last year, has fallen back this year under numerous expectations. Now, Vick is about to face off with Lu Ke. Inevitably, media reporters have once again begun to sow discord and expect tempers. The fiery Vic can make some shocking claims.
During the official media day on Wednesday, a reporter asked Vick related questions, "If I remember correctly, the 49ers haven't decided on their starting quarterback yet, right?" Vick's understatement was not just for reporters. Fighting back was also ignoring Lu Ke.
Subsequently, under the exaggeration of the media, "Vic ignored Lu Ke" and "Faced with challenges, Vick was not afraid at all". Such remarks can be seen on many websites; but in the final analysis, what Vick stated is In fact, until the San Francisco 49ers confirm their starting quarterback, reporters can't further fan the flames.
until now.
Faced with the same problem, Vick shrugged and said nonchalantly, "How do I know what will happen? I am not the player standing opposite him on the field. My task is to lead the team to score the final goal. It's victory; try to chase me if he can do it."
This is a dehydrated version of the remarks. During the interview, there were a lot of swear words mixed in the words. Obviously, Vic did not like being discussed with Lu Ke together - he is a ten-year veteran of the Zongheng Alliance and has seen countless storms; And Lu Ke has only played three games, and the two cannot be compared at all.
What's more, the Philadelphia Eagles have a poor record now and their offense can't open up the situation. Vick has no patience to deal with reporters.
As a result, major media outlets published headlines one after another, "Michael Vick has never put Lu Ke in his eyes: he doesn't care about anything except victory."
