Chapter 970 Total overthrow
Kansas City, early morning.
The spring morning is a bit cold, and the footsteps of summer are already lingering on the street corner. Morning and evening, I can still feel the goosebumps on the surface of my skin, and I can't help but zip up my coat quickly.
Mecole-Hardman drove into the parking lot, looked at the entire empty parking lot, and let out a sigh of relief——
He didn't want to be late for the first day of spring training camp.
Although this is a voluntary training camp, there is no need to be too nervous and it is okay to relax a little; but my mother said that the details are the key.
How to view daily training can all be revealed at critical moments.
Even geniuses are no exception.
What's more... this is the Kansas Chiefs, the two-time defending champions, and now the most coveted and topical team in the entire NFL.
During the draft, "Mycole Hardman"'s name was not called until the 56th pick in the second round, but it attracted countless attention.
Because he is the first player selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in this year's draft.
Every move of the defending champion is eye-catching. Although during the rookie training camp, Reed was inspecting Jacobs' situation and intending to choose a substitute for Levi; but many teams believed that this was a Smokescreen, because the Kansas Chiefs' problem shouldn't be here on offense -
Defend!
The defensive team is right.
First, Berry left, and Murray, who had struggled to support Berry for two seasons and ultimately lacked outstanding performance, became a free agent. The safety guard position became a big problem.
Secondly, Houston transferred, and Ford also transferred after the contract negotiations collapsed. The linebacker group that was supposed to be a strength suddenly lost two core generals.
Third, there was an earthquake in the Kansas Chiefs defensive coaching staff this offseason.
Originally, the Super Bowl champions would become auction warehouses during the offseason, and other teams were targeting them to start poaching players, naturally including the coaching staff. But I didn’t expect that this year the Kansas Chiefs’ defensive coaching staff would suffer a “Titanic”-style destruction. .
The defensive line coaches, cornerbacks coaches, linebackers coaches, defensive secondary coaches, defensive staff quality control coaches and defensive coordinators are experiencing overall turmoil.
retire. transfer. Expelled.
Everything you need.
Everything came to an end with the Kansas Chiefs firing defensive coordinator Sutton.
There is only one survivor in the entire defensive coaching team, Britt-Reid. He also adjusted from defensive front coach to linebacker coach, changing positions and not keeping his original job——
< br>
Yes, he's Andy Reid's son.
At this time, people can see that maybe other teams are indeed poaching; but there must be team manager Veach behind the scenes, otherwise all the offensive coaches will be safe, but the defensive coaches will be wiped out. It is definitely not a coincidence.
Last season, the Kansas City Chiefs stumbled and successfully defended the championship. The performance of the defensive team in the overtime of the American League Finals is definitely commendable; but no one can deny that the overall performance of this defensive team was disappointing.
Vicki showed his decisiveness in killing and uprooted the enemy.
Even though defensive coordinator Sutton has been with Reid for many years and is not incompetent, he was still unable to escape Veach's comprehensive purge in the end.
Everything, start from scratch.
Various details are brewing a storm, showing Vic's energy in the position of team manager——
Generally speaking, with only three losses in the regular season and a victory over the defending champion in the playoffs, it is a wonderful season. Even if there are adjustments in the offseason, it should not be a strain.
However, Veitch was not conservative.
The courage, courage, and courage really impressed the entire alliance.
There is no doubt that the Kansas City Chiefs are determined to completely transform their defense; naturally, the draft should be the first step.
The result?
With the first-round pick, the Kansas City Chiefs launched a three-way trade to maximize profits and acquired defensive end Frank Clark from the Seattle Seahawks. With the second round pick, the Kansas Chiefs selected a... wide receiver.
Hardman, a wide receiver from the University of Georgia, is also the fifth wide receiver selected in this year's draft.
alliance:? ? ?
It's not that Hardman is not suitable. The fifty-sixth pick in the second round is a suitable position for Hardman. The Kansas Chiefs can also use some depth at the wide receiver position.
But is it really necessary?
There are still some cornerbacks, some defensive linemen and some safeties in the rookie pool who are worthy of second-round picks. Are you sure Veach doesn't want to take a look?
Shocked, stunned, and talking a lot.
All eyes were focused on Hardman in an instant.
To be honest, Hardman himself did not expect to be selected by the Kansas City Chiefs. He was confused and confused and did not understand what happened.
What about other people?
After the draft, major media and professionals expressed their dismay at the selection of the Kansas Chiefs, saying they were "incomprehensible"——
In their view, Veach's gamble in the 2017 draft was purely coincidental, and he made a series of senseless risks last year and this year.
In addition, the decision to overturn the entire defensive coaching staff seemed reckless and lacked consideration.
Rumor has it that Veach has a "big head." After taking office as the manager of the Kansas City Chiefs, he won the Super Bowl for two consecutive seasons. This made Veach arrogant and defiant. He used the excuse of rebuilding the defensive coaching team to truly The purpose is to eliminate dissidents.
Bah bah bah.
Negative rumors abound.
Although all this has nothing to do with Hardman, who is just a young rookie, he has still been affected and has been repeatedly used as a negative example.
"The more this is the case, the more concentration is needed."
This is what his mother told him. Hardman not only needs to prove himself, but also cannot live up to Vicki's trust. Pressure should become motivation.
Therefore, Hardman showed up at the training camp early in the morning. Even though this was just a voluntary training camp, there was no need to be too serious.
He is ready.
A little excited, a little nervous.
Just as Hardman was about to enter the training base, another car turned into the parking lot, which shocked Hardman——
Is there anyone else who is as early as him?
So, should he stop and say hello, or should he enter the training ground first?
This thought made Hardman burst into laughter: There is no one at the training ground now, what is the difference between being the first to arrive and the second to enter? Anyway, they all arrived earlier than the coaching staff, and that was enough.
No matter who the opponent is, he should say hello and establish good locker room relations.
Hardman smiled, waved to the visitor, and greeted them proactively.
Before Juan-Thornhill parked his car, he saw a figure in the distance, and his heart couldn't help but shrink suddenly.
There was actually someone earlier.
Without waiting for a reaction, Sorencier quickly parked the car, turned off the engine, opened the door, and closed the door in one go, sprinting a hundred meters toward the training base without hesitation.
Hardman was stunned and saw a gust of wind passing by in front of him:
? ? ?
What's going on?
