1018 Change of position

The training camp site is actually very boring. The players are busy training and show themselves, while the scouts and coaches sit on the sidelines to observe silently, and need to record the data they need at all times. Facing the more than 100 players in front of them, the content they need to examine is as heavy as a mountain.

At the same time, the relationship between the teams is also very subtle. On the one hand, they keep a distance from each other to warn each other, but on the other hand, they are inevitably tempted and inquired with their eyes. While restraining, they hope to spy on the other party’s news and even interfere with the other party’s judgment. The back and forth is a spy war drama.

Of course, there are also a small number of scouts and coaches who may choose to attack directly, hoping to gain the upper hand in face-to-face conversations.

For example, Pat Shulmoore, who appeared in front of Lu Yiqi at this moment—

Pat Shulmoore, Lu Yiqi's teacher.

It was Shulmoore who gave Lu Yiqi a substitute for the tight end, so Lu Yiqi went to Michigan State University and learned and grew up under Shulmoore and Nick Shaban; it was Shulmoore's matchmaking with the Philadelphia Eagles that allowed Lu Yiqi to intern under Andy Reed.

Last year, Shulmoore had the hope of going to the St. Louis Rams as offensive coordinator, so he made a special trip to Manhattan, Kansas, to ask Lu Yiqi if he was interested in going to the Philadelphia Hawks to take over as his quarterback coach. Although he did not make a trip by accident, it also became an opportunity for Lu Yiqi to go to the Green Bay Packers for an interview.

It is no exaggeration to say that without Shulmur, there would be no Lu Yiqi today.

During this offseason, Schulmore finally officially joined the St. Louis Rams after many twists and turns, serving as an offensive coordinator and working under Steve Spagnolo.

Spanolo is an experienced coach, 50 years old this year. He has entered the industry in 1981. In 1999, he joined the Philadelphia Hawks as a defensive assistant coach and also worked with Lu Yiqi for a while. This is also the reason why he poached Shuremore from the Philadelphia Hawks. In the past two seasons, he has served as a defensive coordinator for the New York Giants and performed very well. The New York Giants' defensive team has been completely renewed, which has also become his first opportunity to go to the St. Louis Rams to serve as head coach.

Schulmore and Spanolo joined the St. Louis Rams, which is actually the same as Lu Yiqi, who brought Augustus and Robert to the Green Bay Packers last year.

Everything is a new beginning.

Today, after Shulmur arrived at the training ground, the first thing was to come over to say hello to Lu Yiqi? He warmly congratulates his disciples who had just reached the Super Bowl.

"Andy and I kept saying that Green Bay fans should thank us." Shulmoore joked that Lu Yiqi.

"Teacher? I need to express my gratitude? I will thank you. What does it have to do with the fans? Just thank the fans. I will lead the team to win the championship? OK? Don't take away my credit." Lu Yiqi also joked with him? Hehehe, was it so lively.

Shulmoore's eyes lit up immediately, "This is what you said, you must thank us well. I will think carefully about what gifts I need now."

"Why not do this? I will use talent show information to exchange with the teacher? How about it?" Lu Yiqi said generously - I believe that many ears next to him were stretched out at this time.

Shulmoore was not satisfied, "Trade Information? That's it? I thought you were going to invite Andy and I to Paris for dinner on your private jet. I was really not sincere at all." The disgusting expression made Lu Yiqi laugh happily.

"It's just a dinner? The teacher's request is really low." Lu Yiqi nodded cheerfully, "What's the problem? Look at your schedule? Tell me, and I'll call the private jets docked at Kennedy Airport to prepare."

"Haha." Shulmoore's eyes were full of smiles.

He likes Lu Yiqi? Not only because Lu Yiqi is studious and diligent, he has a hard-working heart; but also because Lu Yiqi is cheerful and unrestrained? In short, he can maintain a relaxed attitude outside of work, which is enough to infect everyone around him? He even dares to joke with them boldly.

Who else can dislike Lu Yiqi?

At least? He can't? Andy Reed can't. They all like this disciple very much. After Shulmoore decided to join the St. Louis Rams with Spanolo, Reed teased Shulmoore, "Now, Steve should be counting on you, Archie is not easy to deal with."

In the season just ended, the New York Giants lost to the Green Bay Packers in overtime in the divisional match. At the last critical moment of the game, the defense team was indeed fully suppressed by Lu Yiqi. As the defensive coordinator, Spanolo was also very depressed. Reed was making a joke about Spanolo.

"How about it, has the players the teacher is preparing to pay attention to determine the scope of the game today?" Although Lu Yiqi and Shulmoore are now serving for two teams, they both know the bottom line of the conversation. As long as there is no problem with the draft strategy involved and just discussing rookies.

Shulmur smiled helplessly, "We have a wide range and we have not determined a way of thinking now. What if you take over?"

Last year, the St. Louis Rams had a record of only two wins and fourteen losses, second only to the Detroit Lions, who lost all the season, and held the second pick in the draft.

As Schulmore said, there are so many problems with the St. Louis Rams, defense and offense are all loopholes, and they don’t even know where to start.

"Quarterback, when there is no answer, quarterback will always be the answer." Lu Yiqi gave his answer calmly.

Shulmoore glanced at Lu Yiqi, "Do you think we can choose Matthew Stafford?" Obviously, the Detroit Lions have the same idea, which also means that they will definitely not miss the only top rookie quarterback Stafford this year.

"Ha, aren't there any Freeman and Sanchez?" Lu Yiqi chuckled, "Teacher, don't forget, I have been coaching Freeman for two years."

"And you think Freeman is better than Balgo?" Shulmoore retorted.

Marc-bulger, the current starting quarterback of the St. Louis Rams, was 31 years old, and the sixth round rookie of the New Orleans Saints in 2000, but later, he opened up a world after transferring to the St. Louis Rams, and was shortlisted for the Pro Bowl twice in 2003 and 2006.

Objectively speaking, Balgo is a quarterback of average level. Although he is not outstanding, he is always above the league average.

Lu Yiqi shrugged, "He is already thirty-one years old."

"Tom Brady is thirty-one, too." Shulmoore said immediately.
