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.

      This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.

      I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.

      I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
