 Luke Keuchly is susceptible to being concussed. so without a doubt defending someone like Fournette who has a tremendous amount of  brute force and a crippling stiff arm is and will be the most challenging type of RB for Keuchly to defend for the entirity of his carrer.

10 people on the Huddle so far are officially idiots.  McCaffrey would be the hardest for Luke to take down?  You can't make this stuff up.  

In order: Fournette, Perine, Mixon, Cook.  

1. Will truck him, 2. not easy to bring down, 3. extremely shifty, 4. also extremely shifty.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. McCaffrey-LOL.  

If Luke gets his arms on them....they all go down at nearly the same rate.  So  diversity would be king in terms of being a problem for Luke a RBs ability to avoid Luke is big.   That to me would make McCaffrey higher and Fournette lower based on your rankings.

I disagree 100 percent.  Is Perine is coming at you full speed, you're not tackling him easily.  Plus, if Luke tried to get his legs wrapped up that would be an issue.  Same with Fournette.  McCaffrey is fine exactly where he is.  Mixon and Cook could juke him out of his shoes, that's my thing.  Plus, Perine, and Fournette has solid stiff arms.  Not J-Stew type of stiff arms, but solid ones.

I agree I am not tackling him easy.  I'm not Luke.  The reason Luke tackles so well is because he is better than anyone at positioning himself into plays.  Which is why he isn't sitting back waiting to get trucked. 

still goes back to diversity to me, the more predictable you are in an offense....the easier it is for Luke to stop you.   McCaffery can be much less predictable than Fournette.   I mean that does take looking at more than just a pure player but scheme as well and what they can do in various offense.

did you just compare him to Kenjon? that is weak.  Reggie Bush is your typical bust.  They exist at every spot.

Best RBs in today in the NFL are the most diverse.   Bell in Pitt.  He can literally play WR or RB.   I think David Johnson in AZ is up there too....same can be said for him.  

I'd rather have a diverse weapon in today's NFL in the backfield.

Agree to disagree, Luke is one of a kind, but he would even have a hard time taking down RB's like Fournette, and Perine in the open field and full speed.

but like I said, what makes Luke so good...how he positions himself into running plays.  You give Luke film and put Fournette into a run heavy offense and Luke is going to meet him at such a high rate before the play gets a chance to get rolling.   That is chest a chess match that favor Luke tremendously.

harder guy to stop is diverse RB in a diverse offense.

I don't disagree in the open field the guys mentioned wouldn't be an issue.  I think McCaffrey facing off against Luke would find more chances to be in less predictable plays.

my thoughts I guess are largely less about the players and more about how Luke attacks a scheme they likely fit.

the fact that Barner and McCaffery were both versatile superstar RB in the Pac-12 was my comparison

here is a question...if diversity was so advantageous at the next level then why is it rarely seen in the vast majority of starting NFL RB?and why are  those type of RB used primarily as situtational backs instead of 3 down backs like in college?

now i will say that i believe that.a diverse RB is a far greater skill set to have and is a better schematic fit at the college level instead of the NFL.and regarding David Johnson he is also an anomaly instead of a precedent in todays NFL among versatile RB
