761 League Attention
“…… No, no, no, I didn't deny the significance of their victory. I'm just emphasizing that it's a win for the whole team and not all of it goes to the quarterbacks......"
"So can I understand that you still think that Lu Ke is just a qualified quarterback, ranking at the average level of the league? Even if he's had a record-breaking rookie season and beaten two playoff teams in the first two games of his sophomore season? You still think so! ”
"Spencer, you're misinterpreting what I mean, I'm just emphasizing that it's not correct and unfair to give credit to Lu Ke for the victory."
"Charles, you're still dodging my question. No matter what Lu Ke's quarterback rating is, and no matter how Lu Ke's performance is on the court, you have never recognized his performance on the court. My question is very simple: Do you think Lu Ke is an above-average quarterback? ”
“…… Let's put it this way. If it were up to me to pick the best eight quarterbacks in the league, then Lu Ke would not be among my choices. ”
"Oh! Charles! "Cunning Charles!" "You know it's not true!" "Please answer Spencer's question, you can't go on and dodge any longer!" "It's not you, Charles. It's not you. "Let's be honest, you are just opposing for the sake of opposition, and you have no intention of recognizing Lu Ke at all."
……
"Chuck? Chuck! ”
Chuck Lehrer felt a knock on his shoulder, looked away from the TV screen, turned his head, and then saw the figure of his colleague probing his brain, "The League has called to urge the draft again, how long will it take you?" God, you still have time to watch 'Within the Alliance' here? If the editor-in-chief of the official website knows about it, he should kill him directly and give you a cross-cross kill! ”
Chuck didn't seem to hear the second half of the sentence at all, just said with a smile, "ESPN must have done it on purpose, Charles Davis is targeting Lu Ke again, this burden is simply endless, in today's show, Charles and Spencer are entangled again, neither of them is willing to back down, haha, the show is so interesting." ”
"Chuck! Manuscript! The colleague knew Chuck well, and if he had responded, the conversation would have continued, but there wasn't much left before the deadline, and he had to do his job of delivering the reminder.
Chuck waved his hand casually and said with a smile on his face, "Give me fifteen minutes, and I'll be done in no time." I'm now in the process of collecting data, which is very important. ”
"Fifteen minutes!" The colleague repeated it, without saying anything more, and then turned to leave.
Unable to find the person to speak, Chuck looked back at the TV, the episode of "Within the Alliance" was still going on, but there was not much new in the content, so he turned off the TV, turned on the computer, settled his thoughts a little, and began to prepare for today's draft.
Chuck Lehrer, the writer of this year's weekly power list on the official website of the NFL, in order to maintain freshness and professionalism, the official website changes analytical commentators every year to write the list, and this year it is Chuck Lehrer who is in charge of this work.
Chuck is not yet thirty-four years old, and he is undoubtedly very young compared to the average age of analyst commentators who are above forty; For the second year in a row, the official website of the alliance has adopted relatively young contributors, with a very clear purpose, to attract young people, use social networks, increase the affinity of the alliance, accept multiple possibilities, and maintain youthful vitality.
Sitting in front of the computer, Chuck's mind raced fast. He wasn't talking nonsense, he was indeed gathering information.
After the end of the second week of the regular season, the 2012 NFL season took on a different picture, with only six of the 32 teams winning all of them, a far lower number than expected, and at least so far the overall picture of the season is more open.
Among the highly anticipated teams, the New England Patriots lost at home to the Arizona Cardinals, causing a big upset; The Denver Broncos' loss to the Atlanta Falcons was not a surprise, but it was also uncertain, with teams such as the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens also losing.
The strong team is not strong, the weak team is not weak, and this is the overall trend of the current two weeks.
Among the teams that are currently on a two-game winning streak, there are only two in the American League, namely Houston Texans and San Diego Chargers, which is definitely a surprise result; With four teams in the League of Nations, the Philadelphia Eagles, Atlanta Falcons, Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers, the results were not to be predicted.
Of the twelve playoff teams last season, only the Houston Texans, Atlanta Falcons and San Francisco 49ers have won all of them for the time being.
The most interesting part is that the West Division, which was considered weak last season, is now the only division with two winning teams, and the four teams in the National League West are also the only divisions to maintain a winning team in the second week of the regular season, which is definitely not the situation expected before the start of the season.
That doesn't seem like good news for the San Francisco 49ers, with everyone in the league half-jokingly quipping that "for the second year in a row, the 49ers seem to be in a situation where their opponents are once again in a situation where their opponents are escalating together." What exactly is this effect? San Francisco Effect? ”
As his thoughts swirled, Chuck put his hands on the keyboard and began to type quickly.
"First place: 49 San Francisco.
Yes, the winner of this week's power rankings is the San Francisco 49ers. ”
For Chuck, he hesitated a little between the Atlanta Falcons and the San Francisco 49ers, but ultimately chose the latter, and one of the most important reasons was the difficulty of the schedule.
Among the six teams that have won all of them, the San Francisco 49ers are the only team that faces last season's playoff teams for two consecutive weeks, and the opponents of the other five teams are generally uneven, and the difficulty of the game and the comparison of strength are skewed, which proves the quality of the San Francisco 49ers' victory.
"From last season's underdog to this season's powerhouse, this young and energetic team has shown unrivaled competitive form, and the main reason why they have been able to occupy the top spot is naturally the quality of their opponents, who have faced last season's playoff teams for two consecutive weeks and finally won cleanly, which is really impressive.
But the more important reason is the overall improvement of the overall strength.
In the defensive group, Aldon Smith, Justin Smith, Navoro Bowman and Patrick Willis have just started the season and have produced some of the league's most dominant defensive performances, both of which rank high in the league in terms of defensive strength on the ground and the number of ball conversions made.
Last season's regular season MVP winner Aaron Rodgers and last season's comeback winner Matthew Stafford, the two top quarterbacks were not able to take advantage of anything.
The offensive lineup, receiving team, and running back lineup of the offensive group have been comprehensively upgraded, and the current scoring rate, interception and sack rate, three-gear conversion rate and offensive efficiency are among the highest in the league. More importantly, in the quarterback position, Lu Ke's reading and control of the game has also made amazing progress.
The only regret is that neither defensive group is tough enough at the moment to bring more tests.
As for the Secret Service, David Akons just completed a 63-yard free-kick to tie the all-time record.
Now that the team is on the right track and has the potential to become a top team, the only doubt is that last season, this young and energetic team has always had inconsistent problems on both the offensive and defensive ends, and many games from the regular season to the playoffs have been fought until the last minute, narrowly beating the opponent by a narrow margin, so what about this season? ”
The 2012 season has just begun, and in the second week of the official power rankings, Chuck has brought a huge surprise.
Despite the unparalleled success of the San Francisco 49ers last season, this year as a whole is only the second year that the young team has regrouped and started again, and people have been accustomed to thinking that they are a dark horse or a precarious spoiler, but now, Chuck has been firm at the start of the season, naming the team as a "strong team".
This is undoubtedly a breakthrough!
When the official website of the NFL announced the combat power rankings this week, it set off storms inside and outside the league, causing widespread heated discussions, and more controversy
Does a season's success mean that a team can be reborn as a strong team? Even if this team starts the season with another beating of two playoff-caliber teams, it doesn't seem like enough, so is it an exaggeration for the league to give such supreme treatment?
This topic has undoubtedly become the focus of the week.
ESPN's "Within the Alliance" also discussed the matter in a subsequent episode, and this time, Charles Davis's views managed to win a majority of support.
"Time! We need more time, more tests! The San Francisco 49ers are not a strong team right now. Yes, they're in great form right now, always beating the opposition in the right way at the right time, but it's only been two games into the long season, so how long can they keep that going? Not to mention how the playoffs were, at least, whether they can continue this form into the second half of the season, we all have to put a question mark! ”
Even Spencer Larson couldn't deny that he didn't argue with reason, but objectively said, "We need to pay attention to the words, the potential, the San Francisco 49ers have the potential to be a strong team, not every young team with potential can grow into a towering tree, this group of young people needs to be vigilant, there is no doubt about it." ”
From a strong team with potential to a team with real strength, it is a long and difficult road, and only after a lot of tempering can we reach the end. The accumulation of one season is far from enough. 2k reading web
