Chapter 839： Lively discussion

Hugo has been in the studio for some time in the past and has no time to understand this year's rookie training camp, so he naturally doesn't know much about it. Faced with Steven’s question, Hugo could only shook his head, and asked with a smile, "What about you, do you have a favorite player?"

"Hays-Schuler (heath.shuler)." Steven said with a smile, "The star quarterback from the traditional strong school of Tennessee, this year's voice is very loud."

The University of Tennessee was a strong rugby team that emerged around the 1940s. However, it was a bit sluggish after entering the 1970s, but the rugby tradition has continued. Every year, many star players enter the NFL. Joseph's brother Paul entered the University of Tennessee.

In rugby, the quarterback is the tactical brain of the team's offense, responsible for organizing the offensive system of the entire team, especially after modern rugby has reformed the rules in order to protect the health of athletes, the passing role of the quarterback Enlarged further, their role in the team has been improved. It is often said that a good quarterback can save a bad team, and a terrible quarterback can also destroy a team. A good team.

So in general, when people mention football, their first impression is quarterback. Among the 78 top picks in the draft before 2014, there are a full 30 quarterbacks, which is a high percentage.

Steven said this, and David sitting next to him laughed, "I told you that Cincinnati doesn't need offensive players, what they need is defense, defense!"

It seems that Steven and David were arguing just now on this topic. The Cincinnati Bengals were the bottom team in the league last year, so they won the first overall pick this year, which is the No. 1 overall pick.

Steven also turned his head unconvincedly and said, "Is the Tigers losing just because of defense? David Lingle (.) last season's rating was only 66. God, he can destroy it alone. The whole team."

"Hey, Lingle is only the second season. We can't demand too much, can't we?" Joseph, who was sitting next to Leonardo, couldn't bear it, and shouted directly. Then David Geffin immediately gave a thumbs up in agreement, and finally Steven in the middle could only ask Hugo for help.

David Ringle was the quarterback selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the first round of 992. He was a star quarterback from the University of Houston, but after entering tnfl, his performance in the first two years was very poor. Last year, the Cincinnati Bengals were at the bottom of the league. The defensive line was criticized, but Ringle, who was a quarterback, was also to blame.

David-Geffen obviously believes that the defensive line is more important than the quarterback; but Steven believes that the brain of the quarterback is a top priority; as for Joseph, he is completely in Houston’s regional awareness for Lin. Goer maintains it.

In fact, Steven and David are not necessarily fans of the Cincinnati Bengals. They are just talking about the matter. They hope to speculate on who the No. 1 pick will be this year. Therefore, they debated the situation of the Cincinnati Bengals.

Hayes-Schuler, who came from the University of Tennessee, is the best quarterback in the rookie training camp. Coupled with his star performance during college, if Cincinnati needs to choose a quarterback, then he is indeed the best quarterback. Good choice; but if, as David said, the Tigers want to improve the defensive line, then the first choice will naturally not be the quarterback in the offensive group.

There is a certain process in the draft every year. Of course, before the start of the draft, the performance of players in college and high school will be recorded by scouts and then evaluated.

After the Super Bowl ends in February, the nfl will hold a training camp for physical and skill testing of rookies. During the training, more than 300 top rookies to be drafted will be invited to demonstrate their strengths. A rookie who performed well in college and can show off his strength in physical and skill tests will naturally become a sweet bun in the draft.

But the problem is that there are many positions in American football games. Although every pair of matches on the field is the same as football, there are eleven players, but a football team is divided into offensive, defensive and special teams, each of which is different. The position training methods are different. So the NFL draft is far more complicated than other sports.

For example, this year there is a quarterback that is very capable, but the team with the first overall pick does not need a quarterback. He needs a defensive champion. Then this may happen, or it is this one. If the team chooses a defensive rookie, the No. 1 pick is not a popular quarterback, but a defensive player; or this team uses the pick to trade with other teams and hand over the No. 1 pick to other quarterbacks who need it. The team, and they traded for the defensive veteran and other draft picks they needed.

In either case, it is possible. This is also one of the important reasons why the nfl draft is full of charm. This was the dispute between Steven and David.

Steven looked at Hugo, which also made Hugo a little bit dumbfounded. Hugo is not an unforgettable god. He naturally doesn't remember the nfl draft in 1994. Of course he doesn't know who the top pick is, but he remembers this man named Hayes-Schuler. Because he has created countless brilliances in the future, but because he is known as nfl-one of the ten largest parallel imports in the past ten years.

Hayes performed exceptionally well in college, but everyone knows that college leagues and professional leagues are two completely different systems and strengths. After entering the nfl, Hayes’ performance has disappointed everyone. He has never been able to adapt to the professional leagues. With his rhythm and intensity, he eventually turned himself into a substitute. He chose to retire after only four seasons in the NFL. His career was lacklustre, and even the number of wins and touchdowns were few.

But what is even more legendary is that after retiring, Hayes became a member of North Carolina, but instead achieved considerable success and opened up territory on the political road.

It is precisely because of such a peculiar experience that Hugo has an impression of Hayes. Otherwise, a player who only spent four years in the league, and Hugo did not pay attention to rugby at all from 1994 to 1997. What about him? May remember.

Hugo looked at Steven’s sad eyes and smiled without giving face, “The Tigers’ defense is indeed worse than offense, and I don’t think Hayes is worth the Tigers’ gamble. He is not necessarily better than Ringel."

Although Hugo doesn't remember the No. 1 pick in 1994 or who the Cincinnati Bengals chose, his personal opinion is so. I don't know which team selected Hayes sadly in the end.

When Hugo said this, Steven became anxious, "Are you serious? Could it be that there is any quarterback better than Hayes this year?"

How did this topic come here? Hugo looked at Steven speechlessly, then raised his hands to express surrender, "Sorry, I don't even recognize the face of this year's rookie." A sentence made Stie. Wen was very aggrieved, but David and Joseph, who were sitting on both sides, laughed.

At this time Samora just came back with pizza, and looked at the cheese pizza in his hand with a satisfied expression. When he returned to his position, he found that everyone's expressions were a little strange, so she asked, "What's the matter? ?"

Leonardo, who was innocent in the middle, had a crying expression on his face, "They quarrel so fiercely, it's like watching the Lakers and the Clippers play against each other."

Samora nodded "Um", and floated towards the steaming pizza in her hand. Finally, she didn't hold her back, she just lowered her head and took a bite, and then closed her eyes with a happy expression on her face.

As soon as Hugo and the others looked up, they saw Samora's greedy bear-wasn't it just asking what was going on, how could he eat it in the next second! Everyone was speechless.

Samora opened his eyes and saw everyone's eyes. He didn't know what was going on. Instead, he said happily, "Eating pizza while watching the game. It's really enjoyable. If there is fried chicken, it would be great!" A black line slipped, but Samora still didn’t realize it, "Are you going to eat? Oh...really, I don’t know there are other friends. I only bought an eight-inch one. Or, I’ll go over and buy another one. ? I just saw the bacon tastes very good."

Leonardo, who is still innocent, waved his hand to Samora secretly, "They said that football is getting fierce and they should not be interested in snacks."

Samora suddenly realized, "You talk, you continue." Then he smiled and said hello to Steven and David, then sat down and continued to enjoy the pizza.

Looking at such a Samora, Hugo and Joseph immediately had an expression of "I don't know him", but Samora looked at him positively, "Who wants it?"

Leonardo, the only one who has not looked away, also turned his head silently holding popcorn. Samora sat there with a puzzled face, muttering This pizza is really delicious, and it's best to eat it while it's hot. "Then he continued to eat pizza cheerfully.

But Samora didn’t notice at all. People from all directions looked at his behavior with surprised expressions: Today is the draft, not game day. Everyone is very nervous, not to mention pizza, even bursts. Rice flower felt a little inappropriate.

However, everyone's attention quickly shifted. On the one hand, Samora did not affect other people, although it was out of season; on the other hand, the draft was about to begin.

Before 1994, the draft was always twelve rounds, but since 1994, the draft was reduced to seven rounds, with thirty-two picks in each round. Basically, thirty-two teams had one pick in each round. The first to third rounds are conducted on the first day, and the fourth to seventh rounds are conducted on the second day. However, the general media only pays attention to the first day. To be precise, it is the first round, up to the second round. .

The highly anticipated first round of the draft is about to officially begin, and the atmosphere on the scene has also begun to heat up. (To be continued (Dian Dian Han paper) provided.
