Chapter 659 A generation of heroes
Can Hubble become a great master?
This question is a matter of opinion. I am afraid we still need to wait for time to prove it.
But there is no doubt that Hubble is a hero of the generation. His courage and courage are admired even by Belichick and are eye-catching.
Right in front of you is the best proof——
Hubble, the bet paid off.
Defeat the Cincinnati Bengals at home to avenge their loss in the second week of the regular season.
Defeated the Oakland Raiders at home, firmly grasping the opportunity and not overturning the weak team.
Defeating the Atlanta Falcons on the road, two teams that have also struggled this season went hand-to-hand, and the Baltimore Ravens got a valuable victory.
Returned from the off week and won three games in a row!
Suddenly, the season record improved to seven wins and five losses, and the Baltimore Ravens returned to the playoffs.
"I, Hu Hansan, am back again!"
As important as the victory was, rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson's sparkling brilliance came out of nowhere like a hurricane and sparked heated discussions.
When it comes to passing the ball, Jackson's performance is... hard to describe.
Rough passing skills, poor secondary defensive reading, questionable target selection, unsatisfactory passing accuracy, more than one or two shortcomings, shortcomings that have not been exposed in the NCAA arena are magnified ten times and twenty times in the professional arena. times and become the target of attacks by opponents.
In the three games, none of the three opponents were strong defensive teams, but Jackson only sent four interceptions. Passing can even be regarded as a shortcoming.
But in terms of running the ball, Jackson showed a once-in-a-decade top talent.
Not only his physical talent, but also his reading of the situation and judgment of timing. He is always able to find gaps and complete breakthroughs easily.
In the first game, he ran the ball for 117 yards, breaking the history of the Baltimore Ravens; in the three games, he averaged 87.7 yards per game.
Better than a running back.
The Baltimore Ravens have smoothly transformed into a team that focuses on ground attack, which is completely different from when Flacco was the starting quarterback.
The discussion surrounding Jackson was in full swing.
This is no longer seven years ago.
At that time, the "four major running backs" emerged, astonishing the entire professional league. They could run and pass as dual threats, fully opening up the diversity and possibilities of the game, and rugby games became dazzling.
Currently, the injury risks of running quarterbacks have exploded, and professional team defenses have gradually found ways to deal with read-option offenses. The mystery of dual-threat quarterbacks has been completely unveiled, and professional teams have been One after another, they gave up on developing running quarterbacks.
The reason is simple. The quarterback is the quarterback and the running back is the running back. The team spends the quarterback's money to train a running back who can't pass the ball. They are not stupid and have a lot of money.
It is precisely because of this that in this year's draft, Jackson's market has been declining. The rising star who once dominated the NCAA almost fell out of the first round.
Of course, the situation of the Baltimore Ravens is different. Hubble is also forced to do it. He has no choice but to risk everything and give it a try. Jackson is an emergency measure and cannot be generalized.
Therefore, when Jackson emerged, the praise mainly centered on the young man's excellent physical fitness and potential worth exploring.
but!
The topic is a topic, the key point is——
The Baltimore Ravens won again, and they won three in a row!
Currently, in the American League North, the Pittsburgh Steelers are temporarily ranked first with seven wins, four losses and one tie, followed by the Baltimore Ravens with seven wins and five losses.
Tight! Sticky! fierce!
There are still four weeks left in the regular season, and every game may affect the situation in the playoffs. For the Baltimore Ravens, there is no room for losing. They need to use 120% of their energy to win every remaining game as much as possible. This is the only way to get back into the playoffs after three years.
However, the same goes for other teams.
It is under such a situation that the fourteenth week of the regular season slowly begins.
The Baltimore Ravens are about to go on the road to challenge the Kansas City Chiefs, the No. 1 seed in the American League.
The topic exploded instantly.
Here, the Baltimore Ravens are fighting for their destiny, and every game is a life and death battle.
On the other side, the Kansas Chiefs are also fighting to defend their title. If they hope to improve their odds of defending their title, they must try their best to secure a No. 1 seed. Only in this way can they ensure full home court advantage in the playoffs. After all, the two teams so far this season have Each defeat occurred on the road.
What's more, this is just a flavoring agent.
"Hubble VS Reed", after the Philadelphia Eagles last season, Reed is about to face the challenge of another disciple of his, and the difficulty will not decrease.
Bah bah bah... After some pleasantries, Hubble did not hide his respect and admiration for Reed during the interview.
"There is no doubt that this will be the most difficult and arduous game we face this season. We need to fight and we need to do our best to have a chance of victory."
Pittsburgh Steelers:? ? ?
Obviously, Hubble did not pay attention to the Pittsburgh Steelers at all, and he was not prepared to cover up the matter and directly left his mortal enemy in the same district behind.
However, these rhetorical remarks were definitely not the purpose of the reporters. After patiently waiting for Hubble to finish his polite remarks, the reporters finally seized the opportunity to drop the bombshell.
"It is rumored that the Baltimore Ravens were planning to select running back Levi in last season's draft, but unfortunately he was intercepted by Reid in the end. Is this true?"
"Can you talk to us about Levi, the difference between Levi and the current running backs on Baltimore's roster? And the difference between Levi and Lamar Jackson, who beat Lamar in college. -Jackson, including the game and the Heisman Trophy selection.”
The breaking point is actually here.
To be honest, Hubble did not expect that the reporter would actually find out about this matter, but it is not surprising if he thinks about it seriously.
"Haha, it seems that a spy slipped into our team meeting. I need to clean it up later." Hubble made a joke when he opened his mouth -
Before the game, while studying the Kansas Chiefs game video, Hubble praised Levi more than once or twice.
Now it seems that the secret is no longer a secret.
"Of course, I admire Levi." Hubble did not go around in circles and publicly expressed his love for Levi. "If Coach Reid is willing to let him go, we are very willing to welcome Levi to join us with open arms."
boom!
Hubble is indeed powerful. Since reporters need to make headlines, he throws a big bomb in an open and honest manner, leaving all reporters busy looking for chins.
And, that's not all.
"Obviously, Coach Reed saw Levi's potential and was more decisive and determined than I was. The facts also prove Coach Reed's vision."
"Not only Levi, but also Mahomes. I think not only me, but the entire league has seen the growth and transformation of these two second-year players this season. How to suppress them next is also the key to our game. It’s a difficult problem, I don’t need to say more, I think everyone can agree.”
"Now it seems that I am still too young and immature, and I still have a lot to learn from Coach Reid."
"Ah, it's rare that after so many years in the league, I can still feel young."
