Don't be shocked if Luke is out again this week

Good to read this quote from TD today:

via Panthers.com

Obviously one of the best parts of Luke's game is his smarts & vision.  If he's able to coach like this, it sounds like he's mentally sharp right now at least.

Kuechly is yet to officially participate in practice since suffering a concussion in Week 1, but he's helped his fellow linebackers out at practice the last couple of days.

"He can see things from the sideline, and he understands our defense and has put in a lot of time watching film on New Orleans, so he knows what to expect," Davis said. "He's helping Shaq out, helping A.J. out, even helping me out."

Ryan Vermillion has been the head trainer since 2002, so he was around during Dan Morgan's time with the team.

Everyone in the organization would know Dan's history. Gettleman and Rivera and the rest of the staff have all been around long enough, and these guys know the league, not just the team they worked for at the time.

Copying this from an inferior site Saints game preview - didn't see the original ESPN tweet myself:

From ESPN NFCS blog...

"…according to ESPN Stats and Information, of the 14 linebackers who were on an injury report with a concussion or head injury last season, the average games missed was three."

    • The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.
    • My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again. 
    • Ok LT and Petersen are a cut above everyone else to me cmc and Faulk are interchangeable on this list.  though Faulk was better career wise
