[Mr. Scot]

Look at how physical Luke plays, how many injuries has he had?

Exactly. One of the reasons I love watching Luke is that he plays with his head up. He doesn't try to lower the head and spear people, he has flawless tackling form every time. Ass out, knees bent, head up, square up on the guy, it's a thing of beauty.

And wouldn't you know it? The kid stays healthy through 130+ tackle seasons each year and is smart as a whip.

And that's the thing.

Yes, Luke is physical, but his tackling technique is absolutely textbook. Every game he plays it's like watching a clinic in how to tackle. He may well have the consistently best tackling technique I've ever seen.

It's the guys who are super physical but lack technique that wind up hurting themselves.
