The NFL game is no easy feat.

In the NCAA, it's more about the talent of the players. If you have more talent, you can use your physical advantage to complete passing, receiving, and promoting, and the tactical position is often secondary, which is also the fundamental reason why the offense can shine in the college arena - no gathering business, no gathering and discussion, which means that there is no tactical arrangement, and the head is buried in the rush.

But in the NFL game, genius and talent don't come in handy, and tactical permutations and combinations hold the initiative in the game. In recent years, the no-gathering business offense has also achieved a lot of success on the NFL court, but in the final analysis, it is the top quarterbacks' control of the tactical manual and the rhythm of the game - tactics are still the core threshold that cannot be bypassed.

Before entering the league, Lu Ke was clearly aware of this, but it wasn't until after the start of the preseason that this feeling gradually became real, and Lu Ke realized that he was still too young and naïve.

20,000 tactics, used in the actual game, as if it were a new world, suddenly there is an illusion, as if I don't know all the tactics, the huge amount of information makes the brain start to swell.

Of course, Lu Ke has only joined the team for three days, and he has only read the tactical manual for three days, not to mention mastering and understanding, and even the first time he has not finished browsing and flipping through it. He still needs more time to learn slowly.

What's more, the Tactics Manual is only the first step; Tactical slogans, that's a different story again.

"Right flat pistol barrel, F shooter 60 snake eyes, 3".

That's a tactical slogan. In official games, quarterbacks will change their tactics at any time according to the situation on the court, so all tactics are codes, codes that outsiders can't decipher.

A simple tactical slogan encompasses all the arrangements for the attacking line, the outside receiver and the near end, the running back, the direction and length of the pass, and the timing of the kick-off.

Imagine the coaching staff communicating tactical slogans to the quarterbacks through earbuds, and then the quarterbacks themselves don't understand what's going on and talk nonsense; Or, when the quarterback conveys the tactics to his teammates, he doesn't understand the meaning, otherwise the teammates misunderstand, then the result of this offense can be imagined.

From playbooks to tactical codes, there's so much to learn from quarterbacks.

In official games, even if a master tactician like Payton Manning is on the court, when the defensive team is on the court, he must hold the playbook, sit on the sidelines to review and understand, and then use the gap to think quickly and plan. Not to mention a rookie quarterback?

There are also a small number of quarterbacks in the league, because they can't remember the tactics, all wrists will wear a small special bracer on the wrist, there is a protective case on the outside, after opening the protective shell, you can see the different permutations and combinations of tactical codes, before each attack, they can first read the tactics themselves, and the tactical arrangement of the coaching staff after mutual corroboration of the tactics, and then arrange the tactics.

Tom Brady was like that in the second half of his career.

Not only that, but in order to avoid their own code being cracked, the team will update their code every season. This also means that each season's playbook is brand new – at least most of it is updated.

Every year, rookie quarterbacks in the league are eliminated because they can't remember the playbook.

As an undrafted rookie, Lu Ke's time to enter the team is really too short. The amount of information in the playbook is so overwhelming that even a genius who knows it all can remember and understand it, not to mention that these tactics must be used in practice.

The preseason game, for the team, is a process of practicing tactics and adapting to tactics; For Lu Ke, it was a hungry/thirsty learning process.

Just look at Colin Kaepernick's performance in the first game, the "3:28" defeat was just a free kick score, and there were almost no chances in the whole game.

Now Lu Ke was a little lucky, he sat on the bench. If you throw him on the court now, you will inevitably be at a loss, and it is estimated that it will be worse than Kaepernick, and the coach's tactical arrangements will not be understood.

So, bench career, this can also be wonderful.

Pre-season continues, with the second, they hosting the Oakland Raiders; In Game 3, they continued to sit at home to take on the Houston Texans.

Leaving aside the reunion between Lu Ke and JJ Watt in Houston, Lu Ke's biggest takeaway came from the tactical manual.

What started out as a thick and complicated tactical manual seemed like an impossible task; But now, Lu Ke has begun to read it for the fourth time, and it is still a further in-depth understanding, and the whole growth is clearly visible.

Not only that, there is always more gain and more doubts in each game, which prompts Lu Ke to take the initiative to look for more game videos and observe the changes in game tactics from the perspective of a professional quarterback.

Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers' game is the most worth studying, not only in terms of tactical permutations, but also in terms of their keen sense of aircraft, their mature use of tactics, and their successful movement of teammates.

However, their game is not the system of the San Francisco 49ers, or rather, Jim Hubble's. Lu Ke can deepen his understanding of tactics, but he can't apply it to the 49ers' game, in the final analysis, he still has to return to his team's training and games. So, Lu Ke found fun in the tactical meeting again.

In addition to the tactical gains, while the preseason is going on, Lu Ke's daily training tasks are still not left behind, and he has worked tirelessly every day to reap the rewards little by little, and after entering the league, Lu Ke is like a sponge, quickly absorbing knowledge and experience, and quickly adapting to the rhythm and atmosphere of the professional league.

For the undrafted rookies, they missed two months of adaptation and had to work extra hard to keep up.

Before going to San Diego in the fourth week and playing away against the San Diego Chargers, Lu Ke once again completed his daily training tasks, and with the previous fourteen-day mission cycle, Lu Ke now has two more base points.

The first base point was added to the running with the ball, and this technique has officially entered seventy points from sixty-nine points, which also means that Lu Ke's confrontation ability may still be insufficient, but the movement in his pocket, he is no longer a rookie broiler.

The second base point, added to the evasion ability, sixty points become sixty-one points, there is still no essential change, but before the qualitative change comes, the accumulation of quantitative changes is still crucial.

It has been one year since Lu Ke and Xiao Qi's first meeting, a full one year anniversary. Before the role of the rugby superstar system, compared to a year ago, Lu Ke's data has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the whole person has been reborn, and now, Lu Ke's personal data is as follows:

Physical fitness: 64/100

Mental quality: 83/100

Tactical awareness: 70

Willpower: 80

Speed: 67

Strength: 49

Acceleration: 63

Dexterity: 71

Jumps: 49

…… The above is the basic data.

Throwing power: 79

Short passing accuracy: 71

Mid Transmission Accuracy: 65

Long Passing Accuracy: 82

Running passes: 70

Fake Passing Action: 45

Ball Protection: 59

Field of view: 70

Runs with the ball: 71

Dodge ability: 62

Push Capacity: 54

Passing ability: 54

Fluff ability: 54

…… The above is the technical data of the quarterback.

Receiving ability: 38

Route runs: 15

Limit catch: 15

Crowd catch: 15

Instant burst: 15

…… The above is the technical data on the receiving skills associated with quarterbacks.

Resistance injury index: 77

Endurance index: 80

Recovery Speed: 75

…… The above are the attributes of injuries related to physical fitness.

The most obvious change is undoubtedly the technical data of the quarterback, which has undergone a comprehensive transformation, which is also the inevitable result of Lu Ke's concentrated addition. Although the indicators of various foot movements are still difficult to achieve, the quarterback's passing ability has been armed, and the quarterback's skills have kept up.

Of course, physical fitness is still only average, and the data related to it has not made much progress; Lu Ke began to think seriously, how should he complete the addition of points when he gains the base points next?

After 70 points of the best, is that enough for the professional arena? He should prioritize adding those skills to eighty points to really meet the standard of a good quarterback; Or should you make up for your short legs and keep up with your physical fitness and related skills such as running and ball protection?

It's a conundrum. But there is no doubt that in one year, Lu Ke's growth is gratifying and amazing. The future can be expected.

In the past two games, against the Oakland Raiders, Lu Ke played seven gears of offense; Against the Houston Texans, Lu Ke only played three offenses. However, Lu Ke didn't care.

His bench career was so varied, and the professional league was truly on display, that he forgot about the existence of Colin Kaepernick for a while, and it was more of a battle against himself; So much so that he temporarily forgot the existence of Pares, Brellen and others, they are just annoying flies, on the contrary, the sincere and pragmatic Lu Ke has also made a lot of new friends in the team, rookies and veterans.

Before the start of the game against the San Diego Chargers, Jim Hubble announced the choice of the main quarterback, still Colin Kaepernick, this time, he will still play the whole game, this is also before the start of the regular season, Collin's last chance to work, leaving him with little time.

For Lu Ke, this is another rare learning opportunity. San Diego Charger's quarterback Philip-Rivers, one of the league's best quarterbacks, has always been in the top line.

Although he never won the Super Bowl, his strength should not be underestimated, and some even called him the Kobe-Bryant of San Diego, not in the league, but in the city.

Therefore, Lu Ke is already gearing up and can't wait.
