The argument for Cole Luke


rmoneyg35

Recommended Posts

Cole Luke has received a lot of attention this offseason from the media and coaches. Because of injuries to Corn Elder and James Bradberry in training camp Luke was able to get more snaps than he would have otherwise.

 

 

last night was the most important of his career. If he failed he wouldn't make the team. He started out by giving up a TD  to Justin Hunter but finished strong with the second highest PFF score of the team with 83.1. So was that good enough to make the team or was the TD enough reason to cut him?

 

some arguments to keep him are that he can play both safety and CB. We lack depth at both positions and being able to play both and save a roster spot is very important.  He is young and has time to hone his craft. He doesn't lack size with his 5'11 200lb frame.

 

some negatives are that he lacks experience. His measurables were horrible, he had 40 time of 4.62, lacked wing span and strength and would have ranked in the bottom tier had he went to the NFL combine. We have an experienced CB that has played well this Preseason, Zach Sanchez has proved himself enough to make the roster but is he above Cole in the coaches eyes?

What do you think of Luke Cole and his chances of making the team?

Sanchez has looked damn good in the last two weeks though. Maybe he's just a late bloomer. This is only year 2 for him.

I swore I thought his knee looked like it bent wrongly. So it was groin injury instead of knee?

Yeah it was groin I heard. Looked like a groin to me and he was grabbing at it while walking off the field. Apparently, it's minor though.

I don't know about the injury. I was just commenting on his play.

Yeah I was hoping someone had more info. I saw a comment earlier on groin but that knee just didn't look right. Could have been camera angle last night. But Sanchez has seem like he is taken well to instruction and mentoring. He looked a lot better than earlier TC and last season. I agree the light might have flickered on.

I didn't even know he was injured.

 

the extent of his injury could determine his spot on the roster.

 

honestly I think because of his versatility he has a good chance to make the roster.

At minimum he is an upgrade over Sanchez. 

 

That isn't saying much, but... 

Sanchez last year? Yep. Sanchez this preseason? Nope. Kid has been balling out. 

And watching draft bust Justin Hunter jog past a sprinting Cole Luke for a touchdown was embarrassing.

Well to be fair hunter has a 4.4 40 time and our defensive line wasn't getting any pressure.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
