Panthers.com: Kuechly hungry for more

 

If a player with half the talent put the time in that Kuechly does, he'd maximize his output, but it would still only get him halfway to Kuechly. If Kuechly prepared half as hard as that guy, the two would be on equal footing.

 

But combine Kuechly's talent and his time commitment, and the results speak for themselves.

 

"It's not an accident that he's successful. He spends as much time as anybody I've been around if not more," defensive coordinator Sean McDermott said. "With the process he puts himself through, he earns the right to be good."

 

 

ESPN: Being the best begins well before kickoff for Panthers' Luke Kuechly

 

But what sets Kuechly apart is his preparation. He spends more time in the film room than some coaches. He had to be told to leave on Christmas Eve.

"The process he puts himself through, he earns the right to be good and to have success," Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott says. "It's like studying for an exam for Luke."

Kuechly is dedicated in a way that can be described as obsessive. His idea of social time during the season is hanging out with teammates in the locker room.

This is how you build a team - full of guys like this. To be successful these guys need to enjoy every aspect of NFL life, not be juggling their outside social life with their football. I think we've got a whole bunch of guys like Luke on the team, and the most important thing I've noticed.....All these guys seem to truly like each other and enjoy being around each other. Our future is very bright with Gettleman and these core pieces, and even Rivera.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      Canes vs Rags 7pm

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
