Chapter 1063: Big talk
A storm is sweeping across the alliance.
In the past two seasons, running backs have emerged in an all-round way. From Bell to Gurley, from McCaffrey to Barkley, outstanding running backs have emerged to form a group advantage. In the end, Levi signed a huge contract that created history. For the time being, It comes to an end and kicks off the running back's grand counterattack.
The really smart thing about Levi is that he did not fight alone, or even let the running backs face the league alone. Instead, he bundled linebackers and safeties who were also facing difficulties into a chariot to break the pattern.
However, all this is seen by the quarterbacks——
Especially those young quarterbacks who grew up in the era when the league held high the banner of passing offense. In their perception, the quarterback is football and football is the quarterback, even though many superstars have emerged in the league in recent years. , Watt, Beckham Jr., Von Miller, etc., but none of them were able to take away the light of the quarterback. The quarterback is still the focus of the game.
Until Levi's appearance turned the situation around.
Have these talented players ever faced such an embarrassing situation, not only being robbed of their central position, but also being robbed of the focus by a mere running back?
Finally, Garoppolo pierced the window paper and sounded the horn for the quarterbacks to counterattack.
Young quarterbacks: Mahomes, wake up, wake up quickly, your team's core position has been taken away, are you still going to continue to be careless?
Mahomes:? ? ? You guys are crazy, just hype up the news yourself, don’t drag me into this!
The point is, Mahomes can't tell the media. In fact, the contract extension negotiations between me and the team are almost at the end. There are still some details. The Kansas Chiefs did not sacrifice him for Levi. Not only did they not, but Levi also Build the team with him.
What they desire is not only their salary status, but also the long-term development of the team. The team has never been so united.
"Can you please stop speaking for me?"
Mahomes was absolutely furious.
When the media swarmed toward Mahomes, the honest man glared at the reporters with a red face. He now finally knew what it was like for Levi to stand in front and shield them from the wind and rain.
Fortunately, Mahomes has never eaten pork but has seen pigs running. Mahomes has also learned a lot behind Levi, so he will not be in a hurry under the siege of the media.
Mahomes answered matter-of-factly.
"I think the team should not simply distinguish how you are and how I am. We are a team. I completed the game with the rookie. We should see the overall situation. The offensive team will not work without anyone."
"We are a complete team and we are on the right path. We need to face difficulties and setbacks together and face failures together. Likewise, we will also welcome victory together. I think we are on the right path so far. ”
"There is no I in the team."
Mahomes: Garoppolo, you don’t have enough structure!
Mahomes is a smart man. He did not get involved in the dispute between the quarterback and the running back, nor was he simply led into the ditch by Garoppolo. Instead, he jumped out of the pattern and cut in from the perspective of the team. State his position clearly and quietly push Garoppolo and others into the trap——
Dallas Cowboys star running back Elliott did not shy away from his dissatisfaction:
So, you mean I'm not important? Still not satisfied with my performance on the field? Take care of yourself first.
Although he didn't name anyone, it was clear that the arrow was aimed at team quarterback Prescott.
In order to bring back the focus and gain attention for themselves, these young quarterbacks lacked discretion in their words and accidentally revealed their sincerity:
Are they looking down on their own team's running backs?
hehe.
Now it's better, if you steal the chicken, you won't lose the rice, and there will be a fire in the backyard.
The atmosphere on the upcoming training days for the San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, Baltimore Ravens and other teams will be extremely tense.
At this time, looking at the Kansas Chiefs who were laughing and having fun, the league finally realized the all-round transformation of the Kansas City Chiefs from the inside out.
Even if it is playing psychological warfare, there is an old fox Reed on the coaching staff and a young fox Levi on the roster. Any team needs to think twice before provoking the Kansas Chiefs. If you are not careful, you may shoot yourself in the foot. . What NFL teams were most worried about finally happened:
The Kansas City Chiefs are building a dynasty like the New England Patriots, transforming into a strong team in all aspects, and their upward momentum continues to be fierce.
The alarm is sounding in full force——
They have to stop the Kansas Chiefs.
At the same time, defeating the Kansas Chiefs has become a goal across the league.
Everyone is eager to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs. Once such a feat is accomplished, they will be able to become famous. Players and professionals are scrambling to make their voices heard.
Even the head coach is no exception.
Patricia, the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs' opponent, the Detroit Lions, in the fourth week of the regular season. This fat, bearded man who once served as the defensive coordinator of the New England Patriots has a different demeanor.
"We have a way to defeat Levi."
In the pre-match interview, Patricia spoke confidently.
In the 2017 season, when Patricia was still with the New England Patriots, she encountered Levi who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She was completely unable to guard against Levi and suffered a double kill in the season, which directly ruined the hope of defending the Super Bowl.
Patricia is ready to face the Kansas City Chiefs again.
"There's nothing special about Levi."
"You have been deifying Levi and trying to portray him as an unbeatable god of war, but the fact is that he is not special."
"Football is not a sport where one player can turn things around, not the quarterback, nor the running back."
"We have mastered the method of restricting Levi, and we will win."
Confident, determined, tough.
Patricia inherited the head coach's iron-fist attitude from Belichick, and did not show any weakness in the face of the Kansas City Chiefs who were talking about the entire league. He unswervingly believed that the Detroit Lions could defeat the Kansas City Chiefs.
Huh!
The entire alliance took a breath, is Patricia so presumptuous?
Big talk!
However, alliance professionals came to the conclusion after careful analysis:
Maybe, Patricia isn't talking nonsense; maybe, the Detroit Lions really have potential.
Last season, Patricia took over as the head coach of the Detroit Lions. He has already shown some potential and brought some fresh breath to the team. In the final season, he won 6 wins and 10 losses. Although he missed the playoffs, the team did It truly shows the new atmosphere and attitude of recovery and rise.
This season, the Detroit Lions have lived up to expectations, starting with four consecutive wins in the preseason and ending with two wins and a tie in the regular season. Although they are not one of the teams with three consecutive wins, they are still one of the undefeated teams in the league.
Not to be underestimated!
