Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 105 Taking action after hearing the news
"...There is no doubt that Levi and Derrick Henry have two completely different styles. Shaban has proven that he can not only train a powerful running back like Henry, but also a nimble running back like Levi who can open up the defense with wisdom."

"Oh, it's rare to see you speak so highly of a running back."

"Believe me, because he deserves it. I see the shadow of McCoy in him, and a little bit of Peterson. I think this is a gem. Although it has already bloomed, it is still quietly waiting for polishing and carving. He still has room to grow..."

blah blah blah.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh picked up the remote control, pointed it at the screen, pressed the mute button, and said into the receiver, "Did you hear the comments? How about it, do you agree with it?"

"Inside-NFL" is a professional football program with professional and rich content. It not only focuses on weekly events, battle reports, injuries and team rumors, etc., but also has a special section focusing on NCAA events to ensure that the league can always get news about rookies.

In other words, the moment the players step onto the NCAA court, they have already entered a huge stage surrounded by spotlights.

This week’s hot topic is Levi again.

This miraculous Chinese running back who emerged out of nowhere immediately became the focus of everyone's attention and dominated the center of heated discussions for several weeks in a row.

However, in Hubble's opinion, these comments are more or less exaggerated. Hubble does not believe that the alliance is not behind the scenes fanning the flames and trying to open the door to the Chinese market.

He only trusts the information gathered by his scouts and thinks for himself.

"Yes and no." Brand's voice came from the other side of the receiver.

Hubble was a little interested. "Have you learned the media's rhetoric now?"

Brand laughed out loud. "Of course, Levi's speed, explosiveness, and ability to change direction are all talents that can be seen. Compared to McCoy, he is closer to Peterson's template."

“But personally, I think Levi’s real excellence lies in his brain, his learning ability, and his analytical ability.”

Hubble was a little surprised. "Oh? Tell me in detail."

Here, Brand is reporting to Hubble.

Over there, Carolina Panthers head coach Rivera was also looking through Levi's information.

If Rivera had heard Brand's words, he would have suddenly understood.

Firstly, in just half a year, Levi's growth and progress are beyond imagination. It is hard to believe that he had never been exposed to any form of football before. This is Levi's learning ability.

Secondly, Rivera also saw Levi's physical talents such as speed, burst and change of direction, but he believed that Levi's game was far more than that.

Especially in this game against LSU, relying on physical talent alone will not solve the problem, and Rivera believes there is more to the game that is worth interpreting.

Rivera was a little excited and a little nervous. He wanted to go to Alabama as soon as possible to observe Levi's game in person. He became more and more convinced that Levi was the running back that the Carolina Panthers needed and that he could definitely become Cam Newton's most solid offensive partner.

However, reason still needs to be stopped at the brink -

The NFL regular season is still going on and they need to continue preparing for the game.

Honestly, Rivera should be watching game tapes and studying tactics instead of focusing on a college rookie, but he couldn't help himself.

Rivera thought that the team manager Jetman should have no reason to reject such a player, not to mention that Levi was of Chinese descent and represented the entire Asian market.

Thinking of this, Rivera's blood boiled. Some things just needed to be seen with one's own eyes. He sat up straight and pressed the inside line.

"I need tape of this week's Alabama Crimson Tide vs. LSU Tigers game. Right now. Right now."

The focus returned to Brand and Hubble.

Hubble was a little surprised. "Dissect? That's an interesting verb you chose."

Brand nodded. "Yes, as precise and sharp as a scalpel. Now everyone is discussing Levi's physical qualities, speed, burst, change of direction, etc., and everyone knows that Levi and Henry's running styles are completely different, but no one has grasped the key point."

Hubble understood. "Brain?" Brand said, "Yes, brain."

This is also the puzzle piece that Rivera is currently missing. Perhaps he will be able to get closer to the answer after watching the game video.

"When we discuss quarterbacks, no one should ignore their brains, organizational skills, reading ability, judgment, etc.; but when we discuss running backs, we tend to ignore this."

"And Levi is such a player who knows how to use his brain to run the ball."

"Although he is still too young and inexperienced, and his style is still being explored, before the kickoff, he will calm down and observe the defense and start a game just like a quarterback. This is what makes him so scary."

This is what is called analytical ability.

Hubble's mind was filled with turmoil. "Are you implying... Sanders?"

When people mention running backs, the first impression that comes to mind is often body, strength, and impact, so much so that running backs are often associated with words like "brainless" and "muscular."

However, this is not the case.

There are many running backs who know how to read the defense, adapt to circumstances, and use their brains to play, and Barry Sanders is the best of the best.

This running back, who has brains, body and speed, played for the Detroit Lions for just ten years, but is recognized by countless industry insiders as the best running back in history, completely rewriting people's stereotypes and ceiling perceptions of running backs.

In the modern football field, a running back who relies solely on physical confrontation will not go far.

Physical talent is the lower limit, while brain intelligence is the upper limit.

Fournet sneezed: Someone scolded me?

From Brand's description and comments, the image of the legendary Sanders immediately emerged in Hubble's mind. He was definitely a god.

Brand denied it directly, "No. Levi's physical confrontation ability is still relatively weak. Not to mention Sanders in his prime, even Sanders in his freshman year was better than Levi."

"but."

"We should not forget that this is only six months after Levi started playing football..."

There was no need for Hubble to continue with the conversation; he already understood.

Levi is already very outstanding now, but Levi's future growth and transformation are the truly exciting part. Maybe in the future he can really grow into a legend like Sanders.

call.

Hubble let out a heavy breath, "Now, we may be facing a difficult problem."

Levi, being too good and too popular is also a problem.

Brand immediately understood the meaning of Harbaugh's words. "I originally thought running backs were not popular. Now all teams in the league are short of running backs, but there are only a few teams willing to gamble on running backs in the first three rounds."

“Coach, you know who I saw at Tiger Stadium?”

Rarely, Brand kept things a secret.

Hubble was stunned. "Jacksonville?"

Brand laughed heartily, "Cleveland."

Hubble: ... "Fuck!"
