Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 659: A Generation of Heroes

Can Hubble become a master?
This question is a matter of opinion, and I'm afraid we will have to wait for time to prove it.

But there is no doubt that Hubble is a hero of his generation. Even Belichick admires his courage and boldness, which is remarkable.

Right in front of us is the best proof——

Hubble won the bet.

Defeated the Cincinnati Bengals at home, avenging their loss in the second week of the regular season.

They defeated the Oakland Raiders at home and seized the opportunity to avoid losing to the weak team.

The Baltimore Ravens won a valuable victory by defeating the Atlanta Falcons away from home, in a close fight between two teams that have also struggled this season.

Returning from the bye week, three consecutive wins!
All of a sudden, the season record improved to 7 wins and 5 losses, and the Baltimore Ravens returned to the playoff race.

"I, Hu Hansan, am back again!"

Just as important as the victory was the brilliance of rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson, who emerged like a hurricane and sparked heated discussions.

In terms of passing, Jackson's performance is... hard to describe.

Rough passing skills, poor secondary defensive reading, questionable target selection, unsatisfactory passing accuracy, there are more than one or two flaws. The shortcomings that have never been exposed in the NCAA arena have been magnified ten or twenty times in the professional arena and have become the target of attack by opponents.

In three games, none of the three opponents were strong defensive teams, but Jackson made four interceptions, and his passing could even be considered a weakness.

But when it comes to running the ball, Jackson shows a once-in-a-decade talent that is top-notch.

It's not just physical talent, but also the ability to read the situation and judge timing. He can always find gaps and easily break through.

In the first game, the team rushed for 117 yards, breaking the Baltimore Ravens' franchise record; in three games, the team averaged 87.7 yards per game.

Better than a running back.

The Baltimore Ravens have transformed into a team that focuses on ground offense, which is a completely different style from when Flacco was the starting quarterback.

The discussion surrounding Jackson was bustling and comprehensive.

It's not seven years ago now.

At that time, the "Four Great Running Backs" emerged and amazed the entire professional league. They were dual threats of running and passing, which opened up the diversity and possibilities of the game, and made football games dazzling.

Currently, the hidden dangers of injuries to running quarterbacks have erupted in full swing. In addition, the defensive teams of professional teams have gradually found ways to deal with the read option offense. The mystery of the dual-threat quarterback has been completely unveiled, and professional teams have gradually given up on training running quarterbacks.

The reason is very simple, a quarterback is a quarterback and a running back is a 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.

Precisely because of this, Jackson's stock has been declining in this year's draft. 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. Harbaugh was also forced to take a desperate gamble in a dilemma with no choice. Jackson's was an emergency measure and cannot be generalized.

Therefore, when Jackson emerged, the praise mainly focused on the young man's excellent physical fitness and potential that was worth exploring.

but!

The topic is the topic, the key point is -

The Baltimore Ravens won again, and it was a three-game winning streak!

Currently, in the AFC North, the Pittsburgh Steelers are temporarily in first place with seven wins, four losses and one tie, followed by the Baltimore Ravens with seven wins and five losses.

Tight! Stalemate! Intense!
There are still four weeks left in the regular season, and every game could determine the outcome of the playoffs. For the Baltimore Ravens, there is no room for loss. They need to give 120% of their energy and try to win every remaining game. This is the only way to return to the playoffs after three years.

However, the same is true for other teams.

It is in this situation that the fourteenth week of the regular season slowly begins.

The Baltimore Ravens are about to travel to challenge the Kansas City Chiefs, the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

The topic exploded instantly.

Here, the Baltimore Ravens are fighting for their fate, and every game is a life-and-death battle.

On the other side, the Kansas City Chiefs are also fighting to defend their title. If they want to increase their chances of defending their title, they must strive for the No. 1 seed as much as possible. Only in this way can they ensure full home-field advantage in the playoffs. After all, both of their losses so far this season have occurred on the road.

Besides, it's just a seasoning.

"Harbaugh vs. Reed", following last season's Philadelphia Eagles, Reed is about to face the challenge of another disciple of his, and the difficulty remains the same.

Blah blah blah... After some pleasantries and pleasantries, Hubble did not hide his respect and admiration for Reed during the interview.

"This will undoubtedly be the most difficult and toughest game we face this season. We need to fight and we need to do our best to have a chance of winning."

Pittsburgh Steelers: ???

Obviously, Harbaugh did not take the Pittsburgh Steelers seriously at all, and he was not prepared to cover it up, and simply put his arch-rivals in the same district behind his mind.

However, these polite words 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 some bombshell.

"Rumor has it that the Baltimore Ravens were going 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 tell us about Levi and the difference between Levi and the current running backs in Baltimore? And the difference between Levi and Lamar Jackson, who Levi beat in college, 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 be so resourceful as to find out about this matter, but if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising.

"Haha, it seems that a spy has sneaked into our team meeting. I need to clean it up later." Hubble made a joke as soon as he opened his mouth -

Before the game, while studying the Kansas City Chiefs game video, Harbaugh praised Levi more than once or twice.

Now it seems that secrets are no longer secrets.

"Of course, I admire Levi." Harbaugh did not beat around the bush and openly expressed his love for Levi. "If Coach Reed is willing to let him go, we are very willing to open our arms and welcome Levi to join us."

boom!
Hubble is really amazing. Since the reporters needed a bombshell, he just threw out a bombshell openly, making all the reporters busy trying to find their jaws.

And, that's not all.

"Obviously, Coach Reed saw Levi's potential and was more decisive and determined than I was. The facts also proved that Coach Reed had a good eye."

"It's not just Levi, but also Mahomes. The growth and transformation of these two second-year players this season, I think not only me, but the entire league has seen it. How to curb them next is also a difficult problem for us in this game. 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 Reed."

"Ah, it's rare that after so many years in the league, I can still feel young."
