Good video on ESPN about our defense

You people having a heart attack about that random guy saying Luke's not the fastest or the strongest....he wasn't saying he wasn't the fastest or strongest from his draft class.  They weren't even saying he's not the fastest or strongest LB.  They were saying he's not the fastest or strongest on the field.  I have no problem with that.  Just of LBs, Patrick Willis is probably stronger (looks it anyway).  Hell, Beason could possibly be stronger.  There's definitely going to be some 3-4 OLBs that are.  There's also going to be some smaller LBs that are going to be faster.  I bet TD is faster.  They weren't calling him slow or weak, they were saying he's not the best because he's the fastest or strongest and that's all there is to it.  They're saying he's the best because of his eyes and instincts.  They weren't even pulling the white card and saying smartest.  Instincts aren't one of those stereotyped attributes.  So wipe the sand out of your vajayjays and appreciate them calling him the best.

you don't see how it's a weird thing to say about a guy 6'3 240? his athleticism absolutely isn't in question ever so it's an odd jumping off point. it's like saying a PF isn't the biggest strongest guy on the floor...and? he's not supposed to be, don't we all realize o and d lineman are the biggest strongest guys on the field? is that something that needs clarification. have i asked enough questions that answer themselves?

You have to be something special to get legit national recognition, awards and praise constantly playing in Carolina. Many players here over the years haven't gotten the love they deserve due to the small market. He is a legitimate freak of nature, and there is no other LB in the league that can sniff his jock.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
