Harper talks about Kuechly

[Mr. Scot]

From Jones in the Observer (link)

 

“I’ve been on the other side when Luke had 20-some tackles, and I blamed the rain for that,” said Harper, who was with the Saints last year when Kuechly had 24 tackles in the Week 16 win last season. “But now I know that’s just who this guy is, and I tip my hat to him. I just gave him a big hug and I said, ‘Man, I appreciate you.’

“And the fact that he continues to lead us and never bats an eye, never points fingers, always positive and just flies around and makes plays. I understand all the ‘Luke’ chants in the crowd.”

The change of perspective amuses me.

 

Also, from the 'quick hits' at the end of the article...

 

In the second half, the referee kept his mic on during a dead ball. “Hey, this has turned into a pretty good football game,” he told another official.

Lol, that is seriously great commentary by the refs. Why Harper amuses you I'm not sure. He spoke the truth, many guys would kiss ass to the question and not answer honestly.

He's talking about last year's second Saints-Panthers game.

 

How do you attribute Luke's performance in that game to "the rain"?

Saints game last year was a special game. Luke was amazing, atmosphere was rediculous, rain added to everything.

My favorite Panther game in a while

Interesting quote by Newton at the end. Subtle shot at Shula and forcing the running game?

“We’re getting there. What can’t happen is we feel pressured or hear whispers about running the football.” – Newton.

I may be mistaken, but I believe he was asked about his lack of

I may be mistaken, but I believe he was asked about his lack of rushes and he was saying he can't listen to what people are saying and start forcing it. Don't think he was talking about Shula or even the RBs at all but rather his run game.

Ahh. I haven't watched the post game interviews so the quote in the article is without any context.

Not as good as the Patriots game.

May he/she continually put the ball at your feet.

IMO yes it was. Stakes were higher, rain was awesome, crowd was awesome, awesome game winning drive, Luke was awesome...

I have personal reasons as well, my mom died the next morning (not to be Debbie Downer) and that stadium was as loud as it has ever been

My friend who is a Saints fan, she's really hot with a giant afro and dark skin, laughed at us picking up Harper. Saying he was old and washed up.

Having been at both games, I can't day one was better than the other...both were exciting...and awesome.  The rain game had that unique element with the monsoon....and the rain getting big cheers the harder it got.  NE was MNF.  Both were great.  Period.
