Luke Kuechly being a true leader

PITTSBURGH – When head coach Ron Rivera breaks the team down in the locker room after a tough loss, he’s typically the only one who speaks.

But linebacker Luke Kuechly had a few things to say after Carolina suffered a 52-21 defeat to the Steelers at Heinz Field on Thursday night.

Rivera told the players they would report back on Tuesday after a long weekend away from football, and Kuechly wanted to reiterate the importance of using those few days wisely.

He implored his teammates to come back ready to roll. He doesn’t want that first day back to be a waste of a practice where everyone simply gets back into things. No, the Panthers, especially after a loss like the one they suffered in Pittsburgh, need to hit the ground running.

Exactly right. Come back ready to work and not in a "ok time to get back into it" mode.

So they lose by 30 plus, embarrass themselves on National TV, and they don’t report back u til Tuesday ?

unless there is something in the CBA, their asses need to be at work.

That's not how this works. They just had two games in five days. They didn't get back in until early this morning, so definitely no practice today. No one ever practices on Saturday. I'm sure there's something written in the CBA about practicing on Sundays. And Monday is just another day for them to lick their wounds. I know they got embarrassed, but I'm sure every other team would do the same thing. I'd rather them rest up and then hit the ground running.

If Washington gets fired who is next to get internally promoted to interim/full time DC because there aren't any good ones on the market.

Paging Ron Rivera to the dam defensive  meeting rooms the offense doesn't need you so if you're not busy can you be our DC for a few weeks special teams is extremely solid a few blips but they don't need you in there either I figured maybe he can step to the for front.

    • In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa" 
    • Ah yes, my bad. It's easy to forget those handful of games Frank coached. LOL 
    • I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
