Dear NFL Rookies - Don't trash talk Luke Kuechly


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Luke Kuechly has two personalities. One is the mild mannered guy, always willing to sign an autograph or answer one last question for the media.

 

The other personality, well, isn't so nice.

 

Lions rookie tight end and UNC product Eric Ebron found that out the hard way yesterday.

Ebron said something to Luke that fired him up more than I have ever seen in a game. So much so, that I thought Luke may even get baited into a shoving match, but he never let it get that far.

 

Ebron was a top 10 draft pick in 2014, and with that comes a certain level of respect and swagger. What it does not come with is enough clout to trash talk the best middle linebacker in football. Ebron confused Luke's calm demeanor with passivity, a true rookie mistake.

 

Luke went on to have another impressive game, including this amazing pass coverage play....

Notice Kuechly made sure Ebron knew who made that play once it was over.

 

I was anxious to ask Luke about it after the game. What was said? How did he get you so fired up?

 

"Oh, we were just competing." Luke said "That's what is awesome about football. Its just one of those things. He is a competitor, I am a competitor, that's what we love about football."

 

Clearly I was too late, the mild mannered Luke was back in charge. Maybe next time.

Never thought I'd say this...I really like how physical Roman Harper is. He brings some nasty and blitzing is his strength.

 

 

Our secondary are legit this season. I'd put a bet on right now that no one will hold the Lions to less than 7 points by the end of the season. 

 

Harper and Decoud are a big reason behind the success.

Ebron has the tools to be one of the best TEs in the NFL. I can promise you Ebron was running his mouth yesterday.

 

Now, with that being said, I am a UNC fan but Ebron has always struck me a bit of a jerky athlete. I don't know the guy at all and for all I know he may donate hours and money to charity, but just from what I saw at UNC....he def seems like he loses focus and has that entitled, everyone thinks I'm a superstar attitude. He is notorious for trolling and baiting NC State losers on twitter and I believe he was the one who was stomping/dancing on NCSU's logo after we beat them last year.Fedora about had a stroke when he saw that. A rookie TE poo talking arguably the best defensive player in the game during a losing effort absolutely shows immaturity.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
