Lu Ke immediately noticed the changes on the training ground.

Because the observation field is always alert, constantly capturing the changes in the surrounding situation, this is a result of the forced concentrated training in the offseason, although the left perception and the right perception are still shortcomings, but he is developing the habit of observing at all times; Despite this, he maintained a high level of concentration and concentrated on completing his training, which was also the result of his training in the offseason.

Returning from Los Angeles to San Francisco, from offseason self-training to voluntary training camp, was also part of a long offseason and training for the new season, but the whole environment was changing dramatically.

J.J. Watt and Stephen Curry are both out of the training team.

Watt had to go back to the Houston Texans for voluntary training camp, and Curry returned to Oakland to officially start his offseason training systematically.

However, Lu Ke and Curry still send emails every day to discuss football tactics and basketball tactics, and both sides stand at the level of tactical planners, put forward the third-party sideline viewpoint, capture the details that the other side ignores, and help each other understand the entire tactical layout in a more comprehensive way. Both benefited greatly.

Of course, this is only one of the most trivial changes.

Entering the voluntary training camp for 49 people in San Francisco, the whole environment became extremely noisy, with 90 players cramming the entire training field, plus the coaching staff and staff, as well as onlookers and fans, bustling and lively, the training ground was shrouded in magnesium lights every day, and off-field distractions were everywhere.

In the season that just ended, the San Francisco 49ers reached the league finals and also had a quarterback who made countless history, which also made their every move a close target, and the anticipation for the new season has risen by far more than one level, and the voluntary training camp has naturally ushered in a rare grand occasion.

On top of that, the teammates who fought side by side also ushered in a earth-shaking reshuffle. In the short offseason, the changes in the professional teams were crystal clear.

Wide receiver Brarylan Edwards, who had been following Colin Kaepernick in the same direction, left for the Seattle Seahawks, a sworn rival in the same district; Former locker room leader Preece Harrelson was also traded to the New Orleans Saints, ending his six-year career in San Francisco.

In the offensive front, Chino Hachar and Adam Schneider both transferred, and in the second half of the season, the two players took turns competing for the position to protect Lu Ke's blind side, but the overall performance was still unsatisfactory, Hachar went to the Chicago Bears, and Schneider went to the Arizona Cardinals.

Among the running guards, Anthony Dixon traveled to Buffalo Beal; Among the close ends, Justin Peel left for the Pittsburgh Steelers, while Delanie-Alker left for the Tennessee Titans.

In addition, a large number of teammates have left the defense team and the special service team.

Among them is rookie safety guard Colin Jones. Jones is undoubtedly one of Luke's closest rookie friends, playing as a rotation player during his rookie season and performing well, but in the offseason, he moved to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for a seven-round draft pick next year.

In addition, the up-and-down cornerback Reggie Smith was also retrenched. Before the voluntary training camp began, he passed the trial for the Carolina Panthers and was temporarily placed on the ninety-man squad. Inadvertently, Reggie and Jones reunite in distant Carolina and embark on a new career.

In competitive sports, emotions and camaraderies are real, but even the deepest bonds and bonds can't withstand the impact of interests, and even Peyton Manning was forced to leave the Indianapolis Colts, let alone other players.

All of it, everything has to be in the service of the ultimate good of the team, that's competitive sports, that's professional sports.

An agent like Lech Steinberg, on the professional scene, is a complete outlier.

In fact, the San Francisco 49ers have not been the most frequent in their roster changes, having had a successful season just after a complete reshuffle last year, which has shown that the current roster works, and they need to tinker rather than start a big rotation again.

At the same time, the team's main players are still mainly young players, and the salary cap can still withstand the impact, which also makes them retain most of the main players and does not cause the loss of key players. Compared to other teams, the San Francisco 49ers' offseason personnel changes are far from drastic.

Because of this, on the basis of this year's draft, the manager of the San Francisco 49ers, Trent Balke, successfully completed several important trades, trading one pick in the third round, three picks in the fourth round, and one pick in the sixth round, in exchange for a pick next year or the year after, and the focus is on the future blueprint.

In the end, the team selected only six rookies in the draft, which is nearly half of last year's ten.

Compared to transfers and layoffs, the real dilemma for the San Francisco 49ers should be the invasion of injuries.

After the fierce confrontation of the 2011 season, mental and physical fatigue swept like a tide; Add to that the fact that rugby is one of the most physically competitive sports, and the slightest negligence can lead to unnecessary injuries, so after returning from the offseason, there was an unexpected and reasonable number of injuries.

Wide receiver Kyle Williams, who made a fatal mistake in the Confederation Finals, was full of fighting spirit and/desire/hope, and couldn't wait to prove himself and regain his main position, but it seemed that he was overpowered, and he accidentally sprained his knee in the first week of volunteer training camp, and after an MRI examination, he will need to miss at least eight weeks, and it is still unknown whether he will be able to make it to the preseason.

Running back Kendall Hunter, who played well as a rotation player last season, suffered a slight ligament tear and is now quietly recuperating, even having to stay away from the training ground, and when he can return to the training ground will depend on the recovery, according to the doctor's examination report, the situation is not optimistic.

In addition, the main left guard of the offensive line, Mike Rupati, the main defensive end Justin Smith, the main cornerback Tarrell Brown, the main wide receiver Michael Crabtree, the main safety guard C-J Spearman, etc., all have some injuries to a greater or lesser extent, although they are not major injuries that affect the whole season, but they are still helplessly absent from the voluntary training camp.

Transfer away. Direct layoffs. Injuries are absent.

After the voluntary training camp was officially launched, Lu Ke only felt that he had entered a new world, surrounded by a large group of unfamiliar faces.

Among the main players in the offensive group, his wide receiver is actually the only one left with Ted Jean, who is recovering from a serious illness, and Jean is now methodically improving the quantity and quality of training to avoid rushing.

The close end was relatively better, with Vernon Davis and Logan Newman both in training camp, and the two players were relatively consistent; As for the running back lineup, Marcus Lynch is the only familiar face.

The most laughable thing is the attacking frontline.

Left side, all emptied; On the right, only Joe Stanley Anthony Davis had to take a week off from the team due to a funeral at home, and then return to the team for training; Finally, in the middle, Jonathan Goodwin.

On the entire offensive front, there were only two players left in the former main force, which was completely fragmented and completely opened.

In the season that just ended, their offensive front line had a lot of problems, and now it seems that the upcoming new season is still full of problems; Moreover, on top of the draft, for various reasons, Trent ultimately selected only one offensive forward

Joe Looney, one hundred and seventeenth pick in the fourth round.

In order to fill the 90-man training squad and fill the team's important shortcomings, Trent invited a large number of players to come to the trial, and the entire voluntary training camp was even more lively and lively, with unfamiliar faces constantly coming and going, even more noisy than in the regular season.

But none of this has anything to do with Lu Ke. At least not directly.

As a sophomore, Lu Ke still doesn't have much say in the team, not to mention, it can be seen from Trent's invitation to Payton Manning in the offseason that the team is still skeptical of Lu Ke.

is not to question Lu Ke's ability, but to question the performance of every second-year student.

After a rookie enters the league, the first three seasons are not easy to stabilize, and it is closely related to age, experience and experience, etc., and young players need a process of growth; Moreover, pushing Lu Ke to the starting position last season was also a difficult decision to catch ducks on the shelf, and now after returning from the offseason, the team must also make more considerations

After Alex Smith's move to the Kansas Chiefs, the team now has a total of three quarterbacks, Lu Ke, Colin Kaepernick and Scott Tolsin, all sophomores.

That's too young. Should they sign a veteran to press the lineup? Should they sign an experienced quarterback to help the young quarterback grow? Should they be more prepared for the new season?

Under such considerations, Lu Ke did not quickly become the core of the team, but returned to the starting point again, and launched a new round of competition with Kaepernick and Tolsin.

Therefore, during the training, Lu Ke will definitely not take it lightly!
