Chapter 233 The birth of a black fan
Fonette: I feel aggrieved.
In fact, Fournette himself is holding his breath. He was suppressed by Derrick Henry in the 2015 season, and then by Henry's junior brother Levi in the 2016 season. He was clearly at his peak in the past two seasons but has never received corresponding recognition. It almost affects the draft pick.
Seeing Levi's miraculous performance in the season opener, Fournette was sharpening his skills, preparing to show off his talents, and received the support of head coach Doug Marrone——
During the offseason, head coach Bradley was fired after all.
Bradley: What about the promise to work together to create a better future? Calverde, you heartless man!
Although Bradley immediately found a job with the San Diego Chargers, he was demoted from head coach to defensive coordinator.
At the same time, Mareau, who had been an assistant coach and offensive line coach, took over as the new head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
One thing to say, Fournette's performance in the first show of the season was already good, and Maruo's tactical arrangements are worthy of recognition, but the comparison of people is irritating, Levi is that beast!
Looking through the complaints in major media and social networks, it was as if Fournette didn't exist, which made Fournette feel like he was about to explode with a tight breath in his chest.
Wait, so where is the number one pick? What about second place? Are they as tough as Levi?
After a moment of checking, Fournette was silent.
The No. 1 pick, Garrett, sprained his ankle during daily training on September 7 and had to rest for four weeks. He missed not just one game, but four games.
The second pick, Trubisky, despite his good preseason performance, still lost to Mike Glennon in the competitiveness of the main quarterback. In the season opener, he sat on the bench and watched the game. Know when your substitute career will turn into a full-time job.
One has missed at least four games, the other has no chance of making an appearance, the No. 1 pick and the No. 2 pick are resting, and everyone is watching helplessly as the No. 3 pick kills everyone. So, if the media doesn't complain about Fournette, who else can they complain about?
Fournette: These two are such thieves, traveling at staggered times, waiting for the heat on rookies to cool down at the start of the season, and then returning to the game. Who did they learn this from?
The good news is that for more than one game, Fournette may have to carry the burden alone for the next month, without even a brother to support him.
Fournette was born without love.
Here, Fournette is in dire straits, and life is worse than death.
In that room, the heated discussion surrounding Levi had just begun.
"Within the League", ESPN's flagship professional football program, is available Monday to Sunday, all year round, and the program content has been constantly innovating. It continues to switch program formats according to different situations and themes, and in the most appropriate way as soon as possible. Parse NFL news for viewers.
Among them, the roundtable discussion is undoubtedly the most interesting part. The program will invite ten experts to discuss before and after each week's competition.
Before the game, analyze and predict the results of the game.
After the game, summarize and review the progress of the game.
Generally speaking, the program discussion covers all the games of the thirty-two teams, providing fans with professional views with an overall concept.
However, in the latest episode of the show, just Levi has taken up a large portion of the game time, and the back-and-forth discussions cannot stop at all.
Josh-Lawson, a loyal Levi supporter.
Lawson watched not only the NFL, but the NCAA as well, saw the talent that Shaban and Burns saw from the beginning, and truly believed that Levi could bring a breath of fresh air to the pro game.
However, even Lawson did not expect that Levi would perform so well in the season opener and respond to all doubts with an extraordinary attitude. He was even more than outstanding. From a purely statistical point of view, this should be the NFL Super Bowl. The strongest career debut of the era.
"...People say they see Peterson in Levi and they see Lynch in Levi, and I'm not going to argue with that, but I have a slightly different opinion."
"In Levi, I see Levi."
"Levi has his own observations and interpretations of the game. Although he is still a little green now, he still has a lot to learn. This also means that he still has room for growth. Through a game, we just Just seeing a part of him is something to look forward to in the future.”
Lawson, the words are not shocking and he will die - Levi's performance is already so crazy, there is still room for growth?
Wake up, Lawson, wake up! What are you looking forward to next? Could it be that he is really the chosen one?
However, no one objected.
Now the Kansas City Chiefs and Levi are the center of the topic in the first week. They are hot and all the praise is correct. There is no need to pour cold water on them.
Perhaps Blair-Butt disagrees.
From the beginning of the draft, Bart was not optimistic about Levi and severely criticized the Kansas Chiefs for their foolish behavior in trading up to select Levi. During the preseason, he did not think Levi could stay on the roster.
result……
Although Bart is a tough guy, he was slapped in the face time and time again on a public platform that was watched by the entire United States, and it was inevitable that he would feel a little uneasy at this time.
However, Bart is a man of perseverance and belief. How could he be timid because of a small setback?
"Calm down. Calm down!"
"Gentlemen, this is just a game. In his career, there is a case where he shines in one game and then never finds this person again. There is no one thousand and no eight hundred. We will not say Brady and Billy because of one loss. Licek is out of title contention, and there's no need to say the rookie could be the next GOAT just because of one win."
"It's not necessary, it's really not necessary."
"Let's calm down. Obviously, the New England Patriots still haven't fully adjusted their state. They still led the game for three quarters despite Brady's poor touch. Until the fourth quarter, there were some problems with rhythm and intensity. This Only then did he lose the victory he held in his hand.”
"The Kansas City Chiefs' victory was very narrow."
"So, did the rookie do well?"
"Of course, the data looks very impressive, but that's all. It's just a matter of luck. The New England Patriots lost to themselves."
Bart had an objective and calm expression on his face, as if he was analyzing the problem using mathematical formulas, completely ignoring the bias in his words——
Anyway, Bart didn't want to admit his mistake.
Lawson could tell at a glance that men understand men best. It may be more difficult for a man to admit that he is wrong in a program watched by more than 10 million people than to admit that he has started to lose his hair.
"Blair, are you sure?"
"With 188 yards on the ground, three running touchdowns, and a kickoff return touchdown, there is no doubt that he is the best player this week, not just the rookie, but all the offensive players. I think he deserves to be the best offensive player of the week as well.”
Lawson is a good man. He doesn't reveal Bart's scars. He talks about things matter-of-factly, and his words are not sharp. He expresses his opinions gently and kindly.
To be precise, Lawson also gave Bart a step down. There are always winners and losers in competitive sports. There is no need to refuse to admit mistakes out of arrogance.
However, this still stung Bart——
How is it possible to admit a mistake?
What's more, Bart doesn't think he is being arrogant. He sincerely believes in his own judgment. Professionals also have their own pride.
Bart couldn't stand it when everyone followed Roger Goodell like a lapdog and couldn't wait to lick the league's ass.
If Levi is the only player in the NFL this season, then he will go head-to-head with Levi!
