Luke likely out for the season

If only Cam could sit one out too...

I have a weird feeling he won't play Monday because of this "shoulder injury."

Regarding Luke, if this doesn't confirm that the team is tanking, I don't know what else you need. With this news, I think it's time for us as fans to hope for a high draft pick and to beat the Falcons. Because we can't win the South I gotta pull for the Bucs over them, so completely fine with spanking the Falcons and getting beat by the Skins and Bucs and keeping our top 7 pick.

Not sure how you connected those dots.

 

Maybe the team thinks that because we HAVE won games with Klein as Luke's replacement before. That we should be able to do so again. Protect Luke's long term health, and still win with Klein. Sounds reasonable to me.

 

Rivera has stated that we plan on playing to win. Are you trying to say he is lying to us? Coaches are not allowed to lie to fans are they? There is a rule or something against that. Cuz if there ain't, there should be.

 

But cereally folks. Part of me is relieved Luke is done for the year. Let the kid rest up, and heal. But part of me is kinda sad. I love watching the kid play.

 

Oh, and I am not down with that lose for a draft pick thingy. IMO, there is not that big of a difference between 7, if we continue to lose. Or 10ish, if we win a few. So I am all in on the wins baby.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
