Dear NFL Rookies - Don't trash talk Luke Kuechly

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.

      Darin Gantt: Inside the Panthers draft room

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      I know people get mad when I point this out but there are usually only 1-2 maybe 3 solid players each draft. Everyone likes to hype up in the offseason and think all 7 will be Pro Bowlers but realistically in my opinion: Freeling- Solid Starter for a while probably makes it to 2nd contract. Hunter- Turns out to be best player of the group. Turns into a Kawaan Short type DL. Brazzell- Serviceable, some flashes but doesn’t make it to a 2nd contract. Too slow in the short game, takes a while to build up speed, runs awkward on routes. Lee- I just don’t see it on tape. Maybe a taller version of Troy Pride.  Hecht- I think he will be around for a little while. Reminds me of Mays, where he was shaky at first but eventually became dependable. Wheatley- Really like him. Think this will be a guy that sticks around a while as a borderline starter/solid back up. He’s already probably better than Nick Scott. Kuwatch- Probably a depth/practice squad guy a few years and fizzles out.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      And I believe the 1st matchup was Shough’s 2nd career start.   Remember Bryce’s 2nd start?    If you don’t, no sweat, he will probably replicate it a couple more times this year.

      For a topic that started as a lighthearted, off-season "hey, bryce should keep the beard" banter, this thread sure took a turn
