Just a friendly reminder about Luke

Consider this a sort of a feel-good stat of the day, if you will. 

When Luke was a rookie, Jon Beason was in the middle and calling the plays for the first four games.  Then Beason got hurt, and Luke took over.

In our first four games that year, we allowed 27ppg, with 394 total yards (259 passing, 135 rushing), and forced 1.5 turnovers.  In our last 12 games, with Luke in the middle, those numbers improved to 21 ppg, with 313 total yards (211 and 102), and 2 turnovers per game.  

Please note that Beason was no slouch, and Keuchly was on the field for those first four games too, he just wasn't calling plays.  Klein's no slouch either, but it's easy to forget just what an impact our defensive leader really has.  And we're almost certainly going to have him back for Seattle.

I wouldn't hold my breath on him being back for Seattle, something is up with him.

WE WANT ANSWERS 

The training staff wanted to be very careful with me so as to lessen the likelihood of me getting another concussion. I'm appreciative of that and couldn't have signed a long term deal with a better organization.

I'll definitely be on the field for week 6 and beyond. I appreciate the fans for the continued support you have shown my teammates in my absence.

Good God.  Can people quit it with this crap?  He's got two whole weeks.  He's been out for three, which is a pretty standard number for an actual concussion.  The little bellringer that Norman had in the preseason is not even close to the same.  Luke will be back.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By countryboi · Posted

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
