103 Valuable traits
Ten gear offenses, ten passes, nine successes, over two hundred yards of passes, two touchdowns, no tackles.
What does this data mean exactly? This means that even in official games, the quarterback's performance was perfect, and he couldn't pick any thorns.
Of course, first of all, there must be more than ten offenses in the official game, and this may not even be the number of offenses in a single quarter; Secondly, the atmosphere of the official game, the team confrontation, etc., the intensity is definitely not only that, the sparring team is more or less still in a state of training, not a game.
Thirdly, it is impossible to gamble on the three long passes with large yards before and after in an official game, and the opposing cornerback only needs to find a good opportunity to completely suppress the arrogance of the quarterback; In the end, the rookie quarterback was not selected in the draft, in large part because there were too few references to the game, the average level could not be evaluated, and even a short rehearsal in rookie camp was far from enough, so was today's performance enough?
In the short ten-gear attack, the whole attack was impressive and vigorous, but the overall attack was too aggressive, and the choice of a few passes was too risky, it was like dancing on a tightrope. This time, he succeeded; But in the official competition, if he loses, the price is much more serious.
Jim Hubble was pleased with the stats and results of the 10-gear offense, but for all of the above reasons, it wasn't the most satisfying part of him.
In the face of rushing pressure, No. 11 did not give up easily, and was still relentlessly looking for gaps, trying to complete the pass, such a tenacious trait, which is really commendable. That's the first point.
The most iconic quarterback in the league is Aaron Rodgers, who can always find passing gaps in the rough seas, especially the Green Bay Packers' terrible offensive line, which is full of holes, but he can always lead the team forward. It's no wonder people always say, "Aaron Rodgers is dragging the whole team forward with his shoulders".
As for the second point, it is the reading of the defense by the eleventh. In the ten-gear attack, one was tackled, twice was hit, and twice shot under pressure, except for the one time when he was tackled, No. 11's defensive judgment was basically correct, which also made his passing success rate skyrocket.
In official matches, a 90 percent pass success rate is almost impossible. But in just ten gears of offense, No. 11's defensive interpretation and tactical design are precious. This is the second point.
Of course, the shortcomings of the 11th are still obvious. The first is the ability to move feet, as well as the ability to dodge and grapple, and fight against grappling, all of which still have not reached the qualified line; Second, there is still room for improvement in physical confrontation ability, and now it is only the intensity of confrontation at the training level, I can't imagine what the situation will be if the intensity of the game is played? Passing accuracy and defensive reading are bound to decline correspondingly, but it is unknown how much they will fall.
It's a tough test for all rookie quarterbacks.
Still, in addition to two points of satisfaction, Jim tapped into the biggest takeaway of the day: a perfect score on the von Derick test, what does that really mean?
In the history of the NFL, there is only one player who has scored a perfect score in Von Derrick's test, and Lu Ke is the second and only quarterback. No one knows how important the Vendrick test is for the quarterback position and how much it can work, but at least from rookie camp and today's tryout, it's clear that the No. 11 is a quarterback who plays with his head, and it's pretty good.
At the beginning, in the training game of rookie training camp, No. 11 became the first quarterback to score a touchdown, and people were just amazed, not deeply thought; But today, Jim once again witnessed Eleven replicate such a miracle, and even better, and he couldn't help but think deeply-
Isn't von Derrick's perfect test player very quick to learn the tactical manual? What about the speed of understanding and application? And most importantly, at the critical moment of the game, when von Derrick tests a perfect quarterback, what will he choose? It's like the last offensive, the choice of a 65-yard pass?
To be honest, there are countless talented players in the sports arena, not just rugby, in any field, genius, this is the least valuable. Because geniuses are too proud and too confident, they are often prone to squandering their talents, and in the end they do nothing, and it is too difficult to find a genius who works hard and persists.
Among the ten players who have really become the backbone of the league, one may be a peerless talent; There may also be another who is an ordinary genius, but unusually hard-working; The remaining seven are all gifted, but absolutely hard-working; Finally, there is the possibility of mediocre talent, exhausting a lifetime of effort, and becoming a ploughing player, who may not go down in history, but is an integral part of the game.
As for those who have no talent but refuse to work hard, competitive sports are a gladiatorial arena where big waves sweep the sand, and the cruel reality is played out every day.
So, which kind of quarterback does the number 11 quarterback belong to? Or, what kind of will it be? His strengths and weaknesses are so distinct that they are even more distinct than they are in rookie camp. Choosing him is a gamble. It's just, this big gamble, should he bet?
After completing the pass in the last shift, Lu Ke secretly clenched his fists, and then thanked his temporary teammates one by one, and then turned around and left the court, those temporary teammates still stayed on the court, waiting for the next quarterback to come on the court.
From afar, Scott's face was full of surprise and delight, and he exaggerated with his mouth, "Incredible! Incredible! Then he gave Lu Ke a big hug, lowered his voice, and whispered, "Jesus Christ, when I was in the rose bowl, why didn't I think you were so powerful?" ”
Looking at Scott, who was unrelieved and full of admiration, Lu Ke smiled dumbly and pointed out an important fact, "We are competitors. ”
No, Scott waved his hand, "I don't have a chance to compete with you." Even if it's me, I'll choose you. Sensing Lu Ke's surprised gaze, Scott showed a smile, "I know my own ability, in fact, leaving the arena is the right choice, but I am always unwilling, even as a substitute, I want to leave some traces in this league." So, I have dreams, but I don't have obsessions. ”
The Scott in front of him reminded Lu Ke of John Ward. One chooses to persevere, the other chooses to leave, but they all share a love for rugby.
"Eleven...... Uh, Lu Ke? A calling voice rang out, Lu Ke and Scott exchanged glances, turned around, and then saw Jim.
It was Jim who spoke just now, but he was lost in thought at this time, and did not respond further, and then Kip, who was standing next to him, beckoned, with a bright smile on his face, and motioned for Lu Ke to hurry up.
Lu Ke hurriedly ran forward, Kip showed a satisfied smile, and slapped Lu Ke's chest heavily, "The performance just now is not bad." "It's not just good, it's 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 nodded with a smile. After the end of the draft, the torment and tempering of these months seem to be described as "a few months have passed", but the real training every day can not be lazy at all, one step at a time. Only he knows the hardships.
"How's your body?" Jim interrupted a brief exchange between the two men, asking simply and directly.
Lu Ke was slightly stunned, "It's okay." ”
Jim didn't believe it and shook his head, "Don't pretend you're okay. I need to know how you're doing, and I need to know what happens after the fight. Even if you lie now, we can schedule a medical exam right now and the results will still be the same. "The gap in physical confrontation ability, this is Lu Ke's biggest shortcoming, and it is also the most fatal shortcoming.
Lu Ke reacted immediately, "Believe me, everything is normal." ”
Although Lu Ke's physical fitness still can't compete with those perverted defensive players, and he can't compare with Cam Newton's strong running quarterback; But he's not so vulnerable.
Compared with the impact just now, in fact, Lu Ke's right biceps brachii now feels more lactic acid, and in the tenth gear attack, Lu Ke always maintains tightness, and he is slightly too strong, and the passing choice is too aggressive, so the arm still feels some burden. But, that's about it.
This is a training match on the line of life and death, so Lu Ke is constantly taking risks; In the actual competition, it is naturally impossible to overdraft so desperately.
Now, he still can't be considered a top good quarterback; But he's now working toward that goal. Lu Ke firmly believes that he is on the right path.
Jim looked Lu Ke up and down, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, just closed his jaw, "That's great." Now, jog three laps and practice twenty short passes on the side. After speaking, Jim didn't look at Lu Ke again, but turned his head to look at the other quarterbacks, "Who is the second?" ”
This time, the quarterbacks were much more proactive, with at least five of them coming out on their own.
However, Lu Ke ignored it and began to jog without pausing.
He didn't get hurt, it's just the soreness caused by too much force, not to mention, in competitive sports, minor injuries are not in the line of fire, every athlete has some minor injuries to a greater or lesser extent, and endure the pain to compete, which is also part of the game. For Lu Ke, this is not a problem.
During the jog, Lu Ke saw Matt Hasselbeck appear on the field and officially led the offensive team to advance. Lu Ke retracted his attention and began to run intently, which was also a precious rest time for him.
The trial continues, but the situation has changed slightly. At the end of the first day of tryouts, eight quarterbacks were eliminated and only four quarterbacks remained. Then the second and third days of the trial were back on track.
Small training matches are held every day. On the afternoon of the third day, the four quarterbacks also had a full practice match, where the four quarterbacks were divided into two teams to test the quarterbacks' ability to lead the team to victory. The four quarterbacks are:
Matt Hasselbeck, Carson Palmer, Scott Tolsin, and Lu Ke.
