America 1979

Chapter 92

The San Francisco Derby ended with a score of 34 to 28. The red and white team successfully kept the Stanford Axe. In addition to the dedicated No. [-] tight end, Bill, the third tight end, is also remembered by diehard fans and even more curious journalists scrambling to report.

"Maria's Tight End!"

This is the evaluation of Bill by the front row donors after the game.

Although Mr. Ferrari won the best high school athlete in 80 years in New York City and appeared frequently on local TV stations at the beginning of this year, his fame cannot go out of New York City, and residents in other parts of New York State have no memory of him.Bill's reputation accumulated after playing high school for two years may not be as much as today's catch.

Now that the tight end is generally responsible for defending the quarterback and opening the way for the running back and wide receiver, it is indeed very unexpected to use the forward tight end to catch the ball.In addition, the San Francisco Derby is also the most popular game in the regular season of the D-1 school team of the NCAAF. The name No. 88 has appeared on at least a dozen large and small sports channels and news programs.

The arena of the professional NFL team, the San Francisco Four-Nineers, on Monday afternoon.

Quarterback Joe Montana, who finished the afternoon practice, was called to the team manager's office by the team manager and head coach Bill Vichy.

"Dude, look at this tight end."

The team manager stuffed the video tape of the San Francisco Derby into the projector, and after fiddled with it for a long time, the screen was adjusted to the section where No. 88 received the ball and rushed into the field.

"Whoa!" Joe Montana stared wide-eyed as the wide receiver was blocked by the Golden Bears, and then No. 88, who was clearly a tight end, caught the forward pass and made an unblocked A rushing touchdown.

"It's cool." He waved his hands around and explained to the two most important people on the team with a smile, "I don't know what to say, I think this tight end is really cool, and everyone can't think of it." that feeling."

When the head coach saw this, he knew there was something going on, so he and the team manager exchanged glances, and the latter understood.

"If we reach an agreement with this tight end, do you have any ideas for him? After all, this style of play is a bit rare, and it can be said to be a precedent." The team manager asked.

Although quarterback Joe Montana has only debuted for two and a half seasons, he already has the strength and demeanor to build a dynasty. The head coach of a professional team has little authority. The team manager believes that the core quarterback of the players is also very important. .

Knowing from peers and the news that such a funny scene occurred in the derby at home, the head coach Vichy, who was a little bit excited, discussed with the team manager to see if it was possible to reach an agreement with the No. 88 in advance, so they Run to ask the captain.

"I figured, if the tight ends could catch the ball, then we'd have three or so receivers at the opposing linebackers, and that would take a lot of pressure off the wide receivers."

Joe Montana reasoned and convinced himself.

Wide receivers are required to run fast, have strong jumping ability, and are not dominant in size. They are considered consumables like running backs.

But the tight end is comparable to these two collisions, especially the open type tight end.

If No. 88 really has a good ability to catch the ball, then he can completely replace the receiver, or charge at the same time as the receiver. The receiver attracts half of the firepower, and he can solve the remaining half.

"Maybe we can get in touch with the red and white team to see the player's thoughts and attitudes, and it's not impossible to make a verbal agreement with him." Joe Montana gave his thoughts.

The team manager clapped his hands, "I knew it could be done. I'll call Paul of the red and white team and make an appointment first. The boss, I will also say hello when I report to him next time."

There are generally three ways for an NFL team to recruit people. One is to directly sign a contract with the free agents of the college team, the other is to select rookies round after round in the NFL draft camp, and the third is to trade with other professional teams.

Although the NCAAF explicitly prohibits professional teams from signing contracts with freshmen and sophomores, and even prohibits students from signing contracts with brokerage companies, there are policies and countermeasures, and most of them are ways to bypass NCAAF regulations.

For example, students can let their family members sign a contract with a brokerage company, which not only bypasses the NCAAF regulations, but also allows students to have a professionally operated brokerage team.

The team has almost the same idea in this regard, because professional teams and strong university teams are in the same circle, they can directly make an agreement with the head coaches of the freshmen and sophomores, and let the head coaches directly let the head coaches decide what they want. Players train in the direction that suits their team, which saves a lot of effort in running in. Once a player enters the team, he can quickly play on the court and convert his paper strength into field data.

Even if sophomores are selected into the draft camp, professional teams still have ways to get people, such as using old players to trade picks with weak teams. The latter can get very high draft picks because of the draft rules.

Because of the weak status of players, in the NFL, anything can be traded.

As for the ecstatic look of the top-ranked players in the draft camp after being selected, many of them are pretending. They have known through many channels before which teams they might be selected by.

Draft draft, half pick and half show!

Joe Montana nodded, "Then you arrange that I will not go when the season is in progress. If necessary, we will contact you by phone."

……

On Tuesday afternoon, in the Stanford University football stadium, in the office of the Deputy Head of Accounting.

"Robins, just talk about it." Bill, who had just finished training, wiped his sweat with a towel, and he didn't grab the bathroom, so he could only deal with it first.

The fat man looked at Bill with a smile, "Young man, congratulations, a good thing is about to happen to you."

What good can it do?Bill murmured.

Robbins Miller in front of him is a former professional player. After retiring, he did not know how to get a certificate and was directly recruited into the accounting team of the school team. With an annual salary of more than 20 US dollars, it would be foolish to idle all day long. happy state.

This is also a general portrait of school team staff, all of whom have experience in the rugby industry, and are all male, either fat or strong.

"Let's go, I have to take a shower. It's uncomfortable to be sticky. If I wait any longer, my sweat will turn into stains."

Robbins is no longer a joke, "Let's be honest, because you are very handsome, and the new quarterback's temperament is not as good as yours, I decided to let you go to the student union to be our team's 'senator', representing our red and white team to perform the duties of the students. represent..."

"I thought it was a good thing. The student councilors can't do anything!" Bill laughed.

In order to maintain the superficial democracy and fairness, the student union, also known as the student government, has an organization called the student council, which sounds very powerful, but in fact it is useless.

If they regard regular publication in the school newspaper as power, then it is somewhat of a point.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished my sentence yet. This position comes with a position of vice chairman, which belongs to the Department of Arts and Sports. If you do a good job, you will be able to compete for the chairman of the board in the sophomore year, and the student government in the junior year." Presidential qualifications."

The vice-chairman is also the vice-minister. This is really a small right, such as holding a social gathering.

"I think what you said makes sense. My temperament is quite representative of our red and white team. I will take this job."

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