Going over the game last night. This play is just incredible. Luke shoots between 75 and 62, sneaks behind 77 and goes untouched, and has the runner dead to rights. The play lasts under 3 seconds. From his reaction, he just knew he did something special.

There are plenty of teams in the NFL that wish they had a middle linebacker that could do this half as good.

Exactly. I remember that hit Thomas Davis laid on the Cardinals running back in the NFCCG. It was nasty and the stadium exploded cheering. 

 

Damn... something in my eye. God... that game was our Super Bowl last year. My favorite game of all time.

Literally from the snap, I saw the number 59 raging across my tv screen.  The whole time I was watching this play I was thinking if I were the RB, I might have start running the other way toward the endzone behind me.  Man, I don't know of a linebacker who played like this specifically in recent time.  I can't recall Urlacher flashing across my screen like this.

Not to take anything away from Luke and his awesomeness, but how much affect did 61(RT) tripping impact the play?

The Right Guard #75 was actually Luke's man and he's still upright.  He just couldn't get to Luke in time because Luke's pre-snap diagnosis gave him a two-step lead.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
