Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1060 Leading the Times
In the NFL, the importance of the tactical manual is self-evident, and it can even be said to be the core. The league has also formulated many rules to help teams keep tactics confidential.

However, this is the age of smartphones and social networks.

Everything is impossible to guard against. Fans may unconsciously film and post content of the team's public training, which may lead to tactical leaks.

Precisely because of this, 32 teams have formed media monitoring teams to continuously sort out and observe the content of public training sessions posted on social networks and knowledge payment platforms to avoid leaking team secrets.

Nevertheless, after the start of the season, starting from the preseason, all game videos will be archived by the league officials and uploaded regularly. All teams in the league have the right to view them, which means that keeping tactics confidential is almost an impossible task.

Under such circumstances, Reid consciously allowed or even fanned the flames of the rumors surrounding Levi during the offseason, and kept Levi and the main lineup on the bench throughout the preseason. The fundamental purpose was to divert attention and cover up the team's tactical drills.

Reid is well aware of the league's coaching team's ability to study tactics and crack tactics. The longer the secret weapon can be kept secret, the more the Kansas City Chiefs' advantage will be consolidated.

No wonder!
The Kansas City Chiefs locker room did not exclude Levi at all. They watched Levi endure all the attacks with humiliation and sacrifice his reputation for the team, interpreting the truth that "he who wears the crown must bear its weight" with practical actions.

In the team, I'm afraid Levi's reputation will rise instead of fall.

until now.

In the third week of the regular season, facing the strong impact of the Baltimore Ravens, the Kansas City Chiefs finally showed their swords for the first time!

A hurricane swept across the league.

Because of the Kansas City Chiefs, because of Mahomes, and more because of Levi.

Whether it is the truth behind the locker room conflicts or the new tactics of the Kansas City Chiefs, everything revolves around Levi.

Alliance, all are witnesses!
Those doubts, those complaints, and those grumblings disappeared in the blink of an eye. The overwhelming praise and discussion revolved entirely around Levi. Who had time to pay attention to those grumbling trolls?

Maybe the league is just getting started, but there is one small office that is an exception.

San Francisco.

It was already midnight after the Thursday night game, but the lights in the San Francisco 49ers head coach's office were brightly on and a heated discussion had already begun.

Logically speaking, they should go off work, but now, all the core members of the coaching team have appeared, without missing a single one.

And the one who stirred up all the storms was Mike McDaniel.

The coaching staff of a general NFL team is headed by the head coach, and under the head coach are the offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator, who manage the team separately.

But in the San Francisco 49ers, Kyle Shanahan, who was born in 1979, seems young and energetic. He has carried out reforms in a drastic manner and demonstrated his determination to innovate. Here, the offensive team is responsible for the passing offense coordinator and the ground offense coordinator, led by Shanahan himself; the defensive team is led by the defensive coordinator, which is further divided into the passing defense coordinator and the ground defense coordinator.

At this time, all these core figures are present.

McDaniel is the ground offense coordinator.

McDaniel, born in 1983, is still young. He likes to think divergently and can't sit still at all. Keeping an eye on Levi is his important job now.

Every week, he would study Levi's game videos carefully.

Tonight happens to be a Thursday night game, so McDaniel stopped by to watch the live broadcast of the game.

Then, he couldn't believe what he saw. The idea that had come to him out of boredom was actually brought to the stage by the Kansas Chief.

Not only was it achieved, but it was also incredibly sharp.

While other coaching staffs in the league were still in shock, the San Francisco 49ers gathered in the office overnight under Shanahan's call and began to study the situation immediately. Generally speaking, the league's weekly regular season videos are uploaded on Sunday night; but the San Francisco 49ers couldn't wait and recorded the second half of the game themselves to study it immediately.

Shanahan, his father is the legendary NFL coach Mike Shanahan. This coach has been in the league for more than 1997 years and is a Hall of Fame figure of the Denver Broncos. He led the Denver Broncos to the Super Bowl championship for two consecutive seasons in 1998 and . Even in the long river of history, he is a figure that can be compared with others.

Carrying the reputation of his father, young Kyle Shanahan has been trying to prove himself; however, in the NFL, this is not easy.

In fact, the situation of "father and son fighting together" is very common in the coaching staff of the NFL. The children of legendary coaches such as Belichick and Reid join the team as their deputies. However, they often find it difficult to get rid of their father's shadow and never make a name for themselves in the league.

Shanahan, too.

In the 2017 season, like Levi and Mahomes, Shanahan finally got the coveted head coaching job and took over the San Francisco 49ers. Like McVay of the Los Angeles Rams, he is the leader of the young storm of the coaching staff, and the young man is ready to make a big splash in the league.

The results of it?
McVay has led the Los Angeles Rams to the Super Bowl, but Shanahan's San Francisco 49ers have struggled to compete for the second-place finisher position for two consecutive seasons.

When everyone in the league is McVay, no one remembers Shanahan. Especially with the fame of his father, whenever people mention him, they always sigh with regret.

This stung Shanahan deeply.

Shanahan was eager to prove himself, and this desire grew stronger as time went by. He worked hard, forgot to eat and sleep, and devoted all his time to the office.

Tonight is no exception.

Shanahan looked up at McDaniel with a determined look in his eyes.

"Mike, are you sure?"

McDaniel nodded solemnly, "Kyle, 100 percent sure."

After taking a deep breath, Shanahan decided, "Then let's give it a try."

The next day, Friday, at Levi's Stadium in San Francisco.

Since San Francisco moved to this brand new stadium, they seem to have lost the key to victory and have never advanced to the playoffs.

So much so that San Francisco 49ers fans have very complicated feelings about this stadium.

What's more, the name of this venue——

"Levi's", isn't this "Levi's"?

Ominous.

It's even more of a curse for young quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.

He used to be Brady's backup in the New England Patriots, and his name was always followed by Brady's label; he finally won the opportunity to be a quarterback of a team, but because of his agent Donald Yu, he was always tied to Levi's name.

Even the name of the stadium is...Levi.

Sometimes, Garoppolo himself couldn't help but wonder if the God of Mischief had targeted him and was deliberately playing a joke on his life, setting up one obstacle after another to test his soul.

Damn it!
