...
After the hot report was released, it was slightly offset, enlarged, and exaggerated, so the news changed, and every word in the title looked like Lu Ke's provocation.
When it comes to provoke alienation, add fuel to the fire, and cause conflicts, contemporary media is absolutely brilliant. After the news was delivered to Cincinnati, the other party also gave a tough response, and suddenly the head became sharper.
"Tigers rookie quarterback: we are ready to win!"
"Taking the post, the Tigers rookie quarterback is full of confidence!"
"No weakness! The Tigers said: This is our home court, and we guarantee that all opponents will come and go!"
...
On the one hand, the momentum was fierce, and on the other, a tough return. The original ordinary confrontation, but under the unique interpretation and in-depth guidance of the media, the smell of gunpowder began to diffuse quietly.
This week, the San Francisco 49ers will travel to Cincinnati to challenge the Tigers of the Midland North Division away. This is the first away game of the 49ers in the new season. It is also a duel between two rookie quarterbacks. After the end of the official media day, the reputation of the "rookie duel" has spread, and it has become more and more intense. Signs.
Between the San Francisco 49ers and the Cincinnati Tigers, there are not many grudges and holidays, just an ordinary game, but because of the outstanding performance of the rookie quarterbacks of the two teams this season, they have given different meanings.
The Cincinnati Tigers are a team with a long history. Their team building time is even longer than that of the San Francisco 49ers. The team was formally established in 1937. In the history of the NFL, there are thirteen teams that have never won the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, the Tigers are one of them.
The Tigers entered the Super Bowl twice, in 1981 and 1988, and desperately lost to the same opponent twice: San Francisco 49ers. Among them, the Tigers are the closest to the Super Bowl in 1988, only a short shot away from the championship ring.
That year, the Tigers used a revolutionary / lifeless no-gathering attack, which officially started the trend of this type of attack. After scoring 12 wins and 4 losses in the regular season, they scored all the way to the Super Bowl, facing the opponent It was 49 people in San Francisco led by Joe Montana during the heyday.
Throughout the game, the Tigers always stayed ahead, but in the last offensive, they witnessed Montana once again turn the tide, and the last wave of offense reversed, so the Tigers tragically lost the game.
In a sense, the Tigers and the 49ers are indeed related. The Super Bowl collapsed twice, like a lingering nightmare and fate.
For the Tigers fans, facing 49 people is bound to be full of bitterness; but the two teams are in different leagues. The Tigers are the United States and the 49ers are the National League. The hatred between each other is not enough. Form a tense confrontation.
What's more, both defeats are already a distant history of the last century. After entering the millennium, the number of confrontations between the two teams is numbered, and they are the same people in the world, even if they want to pull hatred, it seems that they can't pull it up.
Last year, the Tigers went through a disastrous season with four wins and twelve losses and ranked fourth in the draft.
As a result, the team, like the 49ers, paid a lot of money, performed a thorough cleansing, and showed their talents in the draft. In the first round, the most prestigious AJ Green of the wide receivers was selected, and in the second round, Texas Christian University quarterback Andy Dalton was selected.
Among the many quarterbacks this year, Andy Dalton has a really good reputation. In 2009 and 2010, he was shortlisted for the first team in the United States for two consecutive years, and won the Western Mountain Conference (MWC) for the second consecutive year. The title of good offensive player. However, the Western Mountain League is a second-level league, with less influence than the first-level league, and the degree of attention is far behind, affecting Dalton's draft pick.
Dalton is a typical pocket quarterback. During the university, a total of 71 touchdowns were sent out, and there were also 30 interceptions. The physical data in the rookie training camp is located in the upstream circle. Von Derrick test also has Twenty-nine points. In the end, after missing the first round of the draft, he was selected by the Tigers in the second round. He was the fifth quarterback selected in the entire draft.
Incidentally, Andy Dalton was selected in the second round at the 35th pick, while Colin Kapnik was selected in the second round at the 36th pick. One after the other.
In the offseason, the Tigers cut starting quarterback Carson Palmer, completely cleared the quarterback list, first selected Andy Dalton in the draft, and then signed veteran Bruce Gera Dekowski (Bruce-Gradkowski).
In the training camp, Dalton competed with Gladkowski; then in the preseason, further tests. However, the two quarterbacks failed to determine the victory and defeat, the coaching team decided that the two quarterbacks shoulder the responsibility of the main quarterback regular season.
After the start of the season, Dalton started in the first game against Cleveland Browns, but he was injured after only fifteen passes. Fortunately, the injury did not hurt; the second game against the Denver Broncos. Leighton was responsible for the quarterback duties in the second half and showed outstanding performance.
In two games, the Tigers won the Browns and lost to the Broncos, but Dalton became the team ’s most shining presence. The quarterback scores were 102.4 and 107 respectively, and they scored more than 100 in two consecutive games. This performance even surpassed many veteran quarterbacks and ranked among the best in two weeks.
If it were n’t for Lu Ke, Andy Dalton would be the most shining presence among rookie quarterbacks this year.
A total of twelve quarterbacks were selected for this year's draft.
Among them, Cam Newton and Andy Dalton are the only two players who immediately serve as starting quarterbacks; In addition, Brian Garbert has just been confirmed and will serve as the Jacksonville Jaguars in the third week of the regular season 'S starting quarterback-the quarterback who made the spotlight because of Von Derrick's test of 42 points.
Newton, Dalton, Lu Ke, this is the only three rookies among the starting quarterbacks of the 32 teams in the league so far.
As the draft pick, Newton was also in the limelight in the first two games of the season.
In the first game, 422 yards of passing yardage broke Peyton Manning's rookie debut pass yardage record, two touchdowns and one interception, quarterback scored 110.4; the second game, 432 yards The number of passing yards became the first rookie quarterback to pass 400 yards in two consecutive games, and broke the record of the number of passing yards accumulated by Kurt Warner in the first two games in 2000. , One pass touchdown, one run touchdown, three interceptions, quarterback score 85.5.
Although, the two games lost to the Arizona Cardinals and the Green Bay Packers; although, the performance of the two games was ups and downs, not stable enough; but Newton still proved his passing ability with the destruction of the passing yards. At the same time, both have the ability to run, worthy of the name of the draft pick.
After the two-week competition ended, the three rookies all shined and gained countless attention in their own way. Among them, Lu Ke and Dalton are both typical pocket quarterbacks. At the same time, the quarterback scores of both games have also exceeded 100. More importantly, both players have shown enough game wisdom. , People shine.
The only difference is that in the second week of the regular season, 49 people beat the Cowboys by one point, while the Tigers lost to the Broncos by two points. In the opinion of industry insiders and professional commentators, this is just a slight difference in luck, which is almost negligible. The performance of the two quarterbacks is equally good.
Now, the duel between the two rookie quarterbacks has arrived.
If according to the original plan, the third week should be "Andy Dalton VS Colin Kapnick", two opponents with only one difference in draft picks, about to start a duel, it can be described as sparking; but the story However, the development of China has slightly deviated from the track. The "Andy Dalton vs. Lu Ke" showdown is not only inferior, but more dazzling.
One is a second-round rookie, playing in the second-level NCAA second-level league, but with his outstanding strength, he broke through a world and beat Bruce Gladkowski one step at a time. In the competition of guards, it really gained the starting quarterback position.
Two games, one win and one loss, but the performance was impressive, with the support of the team inside and out, up and down. The Tigers coach announced on the official media day that Dalton will officially become the team's starting quarterback, winning the applause of all fans.
One is a draft rookie. There is hardly any reference data for high school and college. He struggled to enter the team through the off-season trial training. When the first quarterback and the second quarterback suffered injuries, they were ordered to be in danger Go into battle. Obviously, Lu Ke is not the best choice, but a choice that has no way.
Two games, two wins, the quarterback score is exceptionally good, even surpassing Drew Brice and Tom Brady, and currently only lags behind Aron Rogers in the league. However, Lu Ke still faces countless doubts and needs to prove himself further.
In the eyes of the news media, Dalton's keyword is "strength", and it has some thick and thin hair; Lu Ke's keyword is "luck", the combination of accidents and accidents, and then encounter accidents. Had two wins.
Now, strength and luck are about to show off; and, apart from other additional factors, it is completely a showdown between two rookie quarterbacks. To some extent, this is the fairest competition. The two are on the same starting line. Wei, the competition is about to start, and it really makes people look forward to it.
Interestingly, Andy Dalton's jersey number is number 14; Lu Ke's jersey number is also number 14. This is a showdown between the fourteenth.
So, "Andy Dalton VS Lu Ke", who can win this rookie quarterback battle? Invisible, in this ordinary game, the smell of gunpowder began to diffuse, the expectation value also began to rise, and the attention was naturally rising!
