"Audience friends, welcome to ESPN's 'Within the Alliance,' I'm Edward Bowen."

In the studio, the atmosphere of getting ready to go and thriving began to boil again, six months without a game was really too long and too difficult, waited and waited, and counted and counted, finally ushered in the opening of the new season again, and even Edward's face was filled with a joyful and cheerful smile.

The episode was recorded ahead of the opener, and all analyst commentators will be making predictions for all matchups in the first week of the regular season, including the New York Giants vs. the Dallas Cowboys.

A new season, a new start, and the same is true for "within the league". The permutations of the ten analytical commentators have also been readjusted, both to keep things fresh and to be authoritative and professional, ensuring that each year produces a different chemistry that keeps the audience firmly in front of the TV.

This year, the ten analytical commentators have retained only two former members, Spencer Larson and Charles Davis.

Last season, the emergence of the undrafted rookie quarterback Lu Ke completely disrupted the entire league, and two analysts and commentators, Spencer and Charles, also seized the opportunity to seize the public eye as supporters and opponents respectively, and despite countless controversies, they also managed to leave a clear image of love and hate in the minds of the audience.

This is crucial for marketing.

So, this season's "within the league", Spencer and Charles became guests again! So will they stick to the same tactical strategy this time?

"Finally. We're finally back in the regular season again, we're finally back at work again, and my wife finally won't ask me anymore why I don't have to work overtime to study game footage. Edward opened the day with a light-hearted joke.

"Let's save some time on small talk and get straight to the point. So, what was the game you were most looking forward to in the first week of the regular season? After the question was raised, without waiting for an answer, Edward himself set an example and gave the answer, "The New York Giants vs. the Dallas Cowboys, this is my personal choice." ”

In a new episode of the show, everyone was running in, and there was a half-second pause, and no one took the initiative to speak. Including Charles, who also chose to remain silent, it was an accident.

Finally, it was new analyst commentator Taylor-Solomen who broke the deadlock, "The Denver Broncos vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers, Payton Manning who is returning from injury and Ben Rothslisberger, who is also recovering from injury, this is undoubtedly the top priority, which is why the league scheduled it for Sunday night." ”

"According to you, we can't fail to mention Monday Night Match, the Baltimore Ravens vs. Cincinnati Tigers, can't we?" Another analyst, Dennis-Cox, immediately picked up.

"Why, you don't think so?" Taylor naturally retorted.

Dennis shook his head repeatedly, "No, the division matchup between the Ravens and the Tigers is always missing a little bit of excitement and spark, and I'm looking forward to another game in comparison, the Green Bay Packers vs. the San Francisco 49ers." Last season, everyone thought the Nations League final would be played between these two teams, and there was a bit of a surprise, and now, we can finally see this long-awaited matchup. ”

"Yes, I agree." Jennifer Nash also made her voice heard, "Among the young generation of quarterbacks, there is a lot of talent, but at the moment who can really show the top level, Aaron Rodgers is the best and shows the Hall of Fame level early; And judging from the performance of his rookie season, Lu Ke also has such potential. The matchup between these two young players is definitely worth watching. ”

"Jennifer, so, did you also choose the Packers against the 49ers?" Edward cut to the point at the right time, asking curiously.

Jennifer spread her hands in agreement, "Actually, I'm a little hard to choose, I agree with Taylor, Manning vs. Rosslisberg, this is undoubtedly one of the most pleasing highlights of the week, as far as I am concerned, it is too lonely to raise my hands to welcome Manning back on the court, without his NFL is too lonely." In the end, though, I chose this one. ”

"Why?" Taylor took over the topic and asked.

"There are so many reasons to go on, it's about the offensive setup, it's about the pass-through matchup, it's about the young quarterback, but at the end of the day, it's just curiosity." Jennifer did not hide her true intentions and went to great lengths to maintain a relatively neutral view before the start of the season.

Later, Jennifer further explained, "After the unexpected loss in the Nations League divisional competition, what is the situation of the packers now? We can refer to the 2007 Patriots, who won the season but lost the Super Bowl unexpectedly, and the following season, Brady was injured and the team missed the playoffs that season. Now the Packers are facing the same situation, and after a 15-win season and a surprise loss, how is Rodgers in form? ”

"Well, the same theory can be applied to 49 people." Dennis also joined the discussion.

Jennifer nodded in agreement.

At this point, Charles spoke his voice for the first time, "Exactly. After a successful season, everyone's expectations are starting to rise, both for the young San Francisco 49ers and for the young Lu Ke. This season, their form and performance are bound to attract a lot of attention, and they will be the target of all other teams. ”

"So what do you think will happen in this game?" Spencer also intervened in the topic at the right time, and in a quiet manner, the-for-tat atmosphere between the two spread again - however, this is exactly what the program team wants to see, creating more gimmicks and sparks through their chemistry, which is the direct reason why they can stay.

"Roar, blah, blah, blah, blah." Edward, however, interrupted the back and forth in time, slowing down the ever-increasing discussion slightly, "We're a little too fast now. What about the others? Do you all agree with that? Either the Broncos vs. the Steelers or the Packers vs. the 49ers, is there no other option? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and then several other analysts and commentators commented.

This is not a difficult math problem because the votes are very concentrated and can be easily counted.

The Green Bay Packers won five votes against the San Francisco 49ers, the Pittsburgh Steelers won three votes against the Denver Broncos, and the remaining two votes were for the opener and Monday night.

"Wow, so that's how we got the focus of our opening discussion? Skipped the opener and went straight to the quarterback matchup? Edward half-jokingly said, "No problem, this is part of our show, so let's focus on the two quarterbacks who were the most talked-about quarterbacks last year - Aaron Rodgers vs. Lu Ke." Well, what are your thoughts on where this game is headed? ”

There was silence again. In the first episode of the recording program, everyone still did not find a proper fit, and it was always easy to have embarrassing blanks.

This time, it was Charles who took the initiative to break the deadlock, "Jennifer has already mentioned it just now, we can start from the strength on paper and slowly start the discussion, from the offensive group to the defensive group, from the offseason personnel introduction to the preseason tactical changes, objectively speaking, the strength of these two teams is not much different, and it should not be surprising that either team wins." ”

Everyone looked at Charles in surprise:

This guy has changed sex?

After experiencing the clear-cut firepower of the previous season, but now maintaining an objective and calm attitude, is this time ready to take the authoritative and professional route?

But in the next second, all speculation was overturned.

"I choose Green Bay Packers." Charles expressed his views simply and crisply.

Charles is still the same Charles, but after learning the lesson, he is now starting to become smarter, "Personally, I don't think Lu Ke can continue the form and performance of the last season." In addition, the poor performance of team manager Trent Balk in the offseason is also one of the reasons for the discouragement. ”

That's where Charles's cleverness comes in, preemptively speaking his point and then shifting the target with another key that instantly puts everyone's attention on Trent Balke.

No one can refute this. Because they have discussed the draft decision and free transfer decision of the 32 teams more than once in the previous show, the offseason moves of the San Francisco 49ers have been met with unanimous bad reviews, including the move to bring in Randy Moss.

Of the thirty-two teams, Trent Balke's offseason operating rating is the bottom.

"Originally, in terms of the form of the previous season, the Green Bay Packers had a slight advantage; Now, this advantage will be extended even further. What's more, we shouldn't forget that this is the home of the Packers, who have only lost one home game in the last two seasons! Charles further added.

Needless to say, Blue Castle is one of the league's most difficult home stadiums for the devils; And the Green Bay Packers are also one of the best players at home.

Therefore, Charles is still the same Charles, but after reining in the edge, that Charles has become a little boring.

So, Spencer took the initiative to provoke the topic, "You just said that you are not optimistic about Lu Ke's continued excellent performance?" ”

Just when everyone's attention was distracted, Spencer's words instantly brought the focus of "within the alliance" back to Charles.

After a slight pause, Charles said categorically, "Yes, I'm not optimistic. I think he could even be worse than Sam Bradford and Josh Freeman. ”
