I don't think Luke will play Sunday

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.  There's a chance he clears by Saturday.  Benjamin had that scenario last season.  Concussion in game, and cleared before the next Sunday.  All depends on the severity.  I'm pretty comfortable with Klein in the middle though, but obviously Kuechly is preferred.

This just came across... 

 

Sounds like Luke Kuechly is in 2nd phase of the protocol: gradual return to exercise. I would guess he'll be on the stationary bike today.

Bene and Norman seemed very confident in AJ Klein on last nights podcast. Of course they are going to be positive so take it for what it's worth, but they kinda went above and beyond the whole yeah he can play standard answer. 

There is obviously no replacing Luke Kuechly, but I feel good about AJ starting in his place if need be, especially if Star is back out there. 

Hoyer Mallett might die.

as i said in another thread, Luke being out is a big friggin blow, but having star back certainly will help us weather the storm.  Star is a partial reason that luke has had the success he has had, not taking away from luke but star is a mon-STAR in the middle of that defense.  Hes the only DT on the team that can consistently blow up double teams and is the most consistent at stopping the run.  KK is a beast as well,  but hes more of a pass rushing Dtackle more so than star.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.
