299 Breaking the rules
"Is that why you were fired from Kansas State? Snatched the head coach's lightning?"
As the conversation began, Thompson showed his condescending and aggressive aura, and without warning, tearing open the official fig leaf of Kansas State University.
However, Lu Yiqi was not panicked and still maintained his original expression - this was far more difficult than pretending to be calm. "I tend to be more inclined to another saying: my abilities do not match the current position, which led to differences in ideas, and ultimately I had to end the cooperative relationship regretfully."
pretty!
Not only did he effectively avoid Thompson's "attack", he also emphasized his own abilities in a polite and confident way.
Thompson unconsciously looked at Lu Yiqi with his head light and his eyes looked at him: This is indeed different from the Asians in the fixed impression.
But Thompson did not continue to delve into it, and immediately changed the topic, "If you take over the Packers' offensive team, what changes and improvements can we expect to see in the 2008 season?"
The focus is coming.
In fact, Lu Yiqi interviewed the quarterback coach position, but everyone knows that the Green Bay Packers' leading quarterback is Brett Favre, the best strong contender in history. After 16 years of the league, his style has been formed, and he is arrogant and arrogant, strong and domineering. He probably hasn't been a quarterback coach in the entire league who can command and guide him.
At the same time, the current head coach of Green Bay Packers Mike McCarthy is also a quarterback coach and has his own tricks to train quarterbacks. During his daily training, he also put forward a lot of opinions on quarterback training to train Favre as a substitute and successor quarterback.
The quarterback coach on the Green Bay Packers is more like an assistant coach, helping to coordinate basic training and substitute quarterback management.
But the quarterback coaches in the professional league are still different after all. Being able to "direct" Favre is very impressive on his resume and will also be helpful for future promotions.
With Lu Yiqi's resume and qualifications, it is indeed very suitable to be a quarterback coach.
However, Thompson did not play according to common sense—
He knew that every candidate who interviewed a quarterback coach would have to study Favre in depth and be fully prepared; however, he used the entire offensive system as a problem, allowing these candidates to interpret offensive tactics from a global perspective, and then observed their interpretation and arrangement of the quarterback tactical positions. Correspondingly, the means of coaching quarterbacks could also surface.
Thompson is somewhat looking forward to Lu Yiqi's answer: After all, the Kansas State offensive team's transformation in the 2007 season is obvious to all; while their quarterback Josh Freeman can only be regarded as an average player.
But immediately, Thompson regretted it.
"I think the team should use Aaron Rodgers as the main quarterback to build the entire offensive system."
Lu Yiqi expressed his opinion calmly and expressed his opinion intently, but the content of his words caused a storm. Even the old Taoist, such as Thompson, raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was inevitably a little surprise in his eyes.
The Green Bay Packers performed well in the 2007 season. Under the leadership of Favre, the regular season ended with 13 wins and 3 losses, and once again dominated the North League of the National League and entered the playoffs. After enjoying bye treatment in the first round of the playoffs, they swept the Seattle Seahawks in the second round and entered the National League finals.
In the NFC final showdown with the New York Giants, the two sides were still unable to decide the winner until the last moment, and they had no choice but to enter overtime. The New York Giants were not optimistic about the victory over the Green Bay Packers and advanced to the Super Bowl. They also defeated the New England Patriots who maintained a complete victory in the regular season and won the Super Bowl championship.
For the Packers, this is a season that has left regrets but is still successful.
In the offensive group, Favre completed a good season again, with four thousand yards passing, fourth in the league; twenty-eight touchdowns, tied for sixth in the league; 66.5% pass success rate, third in the league; quarterback score 95.7, fifth in the league.
Under Favre's leadership, the Packers' offensive team ranked fourth in the league in the year-end ranking.
In other words, this is still an offensive team with excellent performance. The 38-year-old Favre is still strong, but Lu Yiqi said that Favre needs to be removed and Rodgers starts?
Thompson was indeed a little surprised, but apart from raising his eyebrows, he did not express any more: Perhaps, this is just a means for young people to create gimmicks and attract attention. Next, we still need to see if there is real material. If it is just a fancy stand, then forget it.
"Now the entire offensive team relies too much on Favre's personal abilities. It is undeniable that he is a great quarterback, and perhaps even one of the greatest quarterbacks in history. His defensive reading, passing judgment, and on-the-spot response are excellent, but his age has stopped improving."
"His passing judgment has been gradually declining in the past three seasons, and the high touchdown interception ratio is a signal."
Lu Yiqi was not talking nonsense, not only because he knew that according to the historical trajectory, Rogers was about to be the starting quarterback of the Packers in 2008, but Favre went away to the New York Jets; but because he did seriously study the Packers' offensive performance in recent years.
However, Lu Yiqi came to the interview not to help the Packers' offensive team take the pulse, but to apply for a job. He did not need to tell the team how to treat Favre; he only needed to tell his blueprint for his offense.
"The team should give full play to Rodgers' personal ability, mainly middle passes and long passes, and run through different routes to open up the situation in the far-reaching area; while the short pass area temporarily avoids the edge, and after passing more, the offensive front line focuses more on running ground cover, allowing Ryan Grant to play more roles."
In just a few words, Lu Yiqi outlined a completely different offensive plan.
"You mean, pass the balance?" Thompson immediately caught the point, but didn't care. "This is not new."
As the team manager, Thompson also has his own interpretation of the team's tactics, and is not an outsider.
Lu Yiqi did not refute, but continued to say, "The essence of passing and running balance lies in completing the offensive with the strength of the team, the cooperation between the offensive front line and the running back, and the cooperation between the quarterback and the wide receiver, as long as the correct tactics are formulated and the right players are matched, the offensive team will be able to complete the transformation soon."
Thompson raised his hand to stop Lu Yiqi, "These are all old tunes, I understand them all. What I need to know now is how your tactics will be organized."
"Ground offense adopts regional cover tactics, or double running back tactics, and uses all guards; pass off the ball and offense adopts West Coast offense tactics, quarterbacks delay the attack time, tight ends or running backs stand in the short pass area, and external receivers cooperate with the running and pull in the middle pass area route."
