Just a friendly reminder about Luke

[Cyberjag]

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.

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.

but but but the protocol! 

[Ricky Spanish]

Yes but what are they HIDING about this concussion guys?

I want to know, nay, I DESERVE to know.

Don't you guys know, Luke decided to quit football.  After his concussion, he found jesus and is currently planning a mission trip.

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.

Ummmm, I am Jesus. To prove it I will walk on Russell Wilson soon
