America 1979

Chapter 69

There should be thirteen or four assistant coaches in the entire offensive team. As the team leader, Hyman Hawke's status should not be low among all the coaches.

"As you might expect, I'm really good at strength. In fact, I think keeping the offensive players huge is an important way to score in these days when the technical position is lightweight. My high school coach Jack Murphy is this idea. He thinks it can An offensive player who breaks through the defense is a good player, and the implementation of flexible and diverse tactics is second. Affected by him, I have always turned myself into a power player. In the Southern New York County League, I have basically never encountered a player who can stop him. My cornerbacks, linebackers, safety, etc."

Bill sells himself that way.

Hyman Hawk heard a name, "Jack Murphy? Is he a famous coach, or a former professional player?"

He thought this was a great coach, so he was specifically mentioned to increase the credibility of his words.

"Yes, Coach Murphy is a former professional player who spent five years with the New York Jets in the AFC East, mainly at second tackle."

The AFC is one-half of the NFL, referred to as the American League. It has [-] professional teams, which are divided into four districts according to the east, west, north, south, and four teams in each district.

The service records of all professional players can be found. Bill didn't dare to lie about this, so he honestly exposed Coach Murphy's background.

Hyman Hawke didn't take it seriously, "I didn't hear your coach's name during my service. But I think what he said is quite correct. Tactics are only the key to scoring. Advancing yards and scoring are fundamental. All Every player should work hard for it. Breaking the line is really the first thing the offense should do, and I really recommend big players as tight ends, because it can guarantee the minimum number of yards per possession."

Although the score of [-] yards is crucial, it cannot determine the admission of a high school student, so Hyman Hawke stood near Bill and chatted with the surrounding students.

This item was measured for more than three hours in the morning, and in the afternoon, it was a cone-barrel switchback run.

The three cones are placed five yards apart. Players need to stand in the middle, run to the second cone on the edge after hearing the command, and then turn back to the third cone on the other side. During the process, they pass the middle cone. When testing the barrel, you need to touch the cone with your hands. After running to the third cone, you need to run back and pass the middle cone again to complete the test.

The whole process only needs to run four five yards, that is, twenty yards, but because it has to turn back twice, the requirements for the player's acceleration and deceleration ability and lower body control ability are very high.

In this test, the quarterbacks pulled their hips collectively, and the best performance was only [-] seconds.

The running backs were professional, so most of them ran in under four seconds. The best time was that of Arthur Bryan, whose cone return time was [-] seconds, which made the head coach take the lead in applauding.

The cornerbacks are a bit inferior, and the performance of the tight end is also average. Bill's score in this field is [-] seconds, ranking in the middle of more than a dozen tight ends.

"What a surprise." Hyman Hawke was even more impressed with Bill, "Your ability to dodge is not bad, and you should be able to do better with the ball."

At noon, he retrieved the paper data of Bill's 79 season, and was surprised by some of the player's performances.

"I actually only started playing in the ninth grade. The first season was purely supported by my physical talent. I only started systematic dodging and running training in January, February, April and May of this year..."

Bill outlined his situation.

"No wonder." Hyman Hawke pointed to the fitness equipment that the staff was adjusting, "Looking at your performance and physical condition in the 79 season, your upper body strength should be the strongest among this batch of tight ends. Let’s test the bench press first, how many can you probably do?”

"26, maybe I can break out here and make it almost [-]."

Bill resisted the urge to pinch his right hand and shrugged instead.

"Really?" Hyman Hawke couldn't help touching Bill's upper arm while his eyes were wide open, "If you can do thirty 220 five-pound bench presses, I'll ask the head coach to set a set for you. The number of places, even if your grades are poor, and the SAT score is less than [-], we can recruit you."

Although the body is at hand, the coach still doesn't believe the young man's words. A high school student who can do 25 bench presses is already very good. A tight end who can do [-] bench presses can be considered for an offer. Thirty must be recruited first, and whether the coach will use this level of players is a second matter.

"Really, I normally do more than 26 in April and May. On this occasion, I should be able to do better."

Hyman Hawke was still half-believing. He thought Bill was strong, but he didn't reach the level of [-] bench presses.

Fortunately, the cone-barrel turn-back test was relatively fast. At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, the summer camp began to measure the bench press.

Still the same as the previous project, the coaches watched around the high school students being tested, and around the bench press rack, the students and coaches formed a big circle.

After a morning and half an afternoon of getting along, some active students have already chatted with the people around them, and the atmosphere is very harmonious. When some impressive players started to test, booing and booing gradually came from the mouths of the students on the sidelines. Pass it out.

As the weakest position, the quarterbacks get the most boos, and the running backs are only slightly better than the quarterbacks.Most of the 220 five-pound bench presses in these two positions are within ten.

"...six, seven. Alright, players complete the test."

"Star" running back Arthur Bryan's test score was seven, and the physical assistant coach in charge of safety immediately stopped the classmate when he saw that the student was exhausted.

This Arthur was outstanding in running before. Many people were relieved by his bench press results, and the atmosphere suddenly became cheerful.

The performance of the cornerbacks is not much better, and the light weight of the technical position has begun to affect the training ideas of young athletes. Among the more than 20 people, fourteen had the best bench press results.

Finally, it was the tight end's turn. Before it even started, Hyman Hawke pointed at Bill, who was wearing the No. 88 jersey, and shouted, "He said he would make [-]!"

These words ignited the circle of coaches and high school students. Needless to say, the coaches, as reserve college players, the high school students naturally knew what this result meant.

The team manager Jerry Pence reacted faster than the head coach, "Then this student will test first and give some encouragement to the future tight end."

Under the guidance of the high school students, Bill, who rubbed his hands, walked out of the crowd and walked to the bench press.

Before officially laying on the shelf, he looked around, and then his eyes stopped at the head coach and the team manager. "That's what a tight end should be like."

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket and ask for a monthly ticket.
